OUR RAILROAD,

The prospects brighten and the people
of our City may yet live to enjoy the
benefits ct a live Railroad. Our readers
wliisee by the report in our local column
that Eastern Railroad men and Capital
lists are now in Milwaukee. ready and
willing to undertake and forthwith COM
mence the building of Railroad from
Milwaukee to this place keeping near the
Lake shore and from here Northwest to
some point on the Fox River, provided
they can obtain reasonable aid from the
Towns, Cities and Counties interested
and to be benefited by the building of the
said Road
All the members of the Committee
authorized and appointed at said meeting
with the exception Of Mr. Hoes, who to
our sorrow, was prevented by sickness,
left Manitowoc last Monday for Milwau.
kee, where they, with other delegations
from the several localities interested, ex-
pect to- meet the Eastern Railroad men
and, if possible, arrange for the earliest
possible commencement of the enterprise.
This proposition, if completed, will
exactly correspond with our personal sug.
gestions heretofore made in this paper.
By putting the whole road from Milwau.
kee to Appleton into one single contract,
the same can be accomplished not only
just as early but much cheaper, than
by any division Of such agreements, and
here comes another suggestion we wish
the people of Green Bay especially to
consider it is, that the managers of the
Green Bay and Lake Pepin road come in
now, and make such arrangements, as
will secure road from Green Bay here,
intersecting cur Western road somewhere
near our County line, thus giving to TIL
real and country an outlet by water, of
which they are now deprived from We;
tc year as soon as winter closes the nav j.
cation of the Green Bay, and another
one by rail, much shorter than they now
can have by the Northwestern. Anoth-
er idea we have, is that the great North
ern Pacific road will finally be located so
as to come to Ludington on the Eastern
shore of Lake Michigan directly opposite
10 Manitowoc and be continued from here
either to Appleton OF Green Bay and
thence to its final termination on the Pa
cifc coast The sooner therefore the
several Cities North and South of Mani
towoc accomplish their connections with
US, the sooner they will realize the meal
cuable benefits of them, and we are full
ly satisfied that Manitowoc will always be
found ready to meet any real, substantial
proposition with willing hearts and open
hands. We shall inform our friends at
the earliest opportunity of the success of
our Railroad Committee in their deliber-
ations with the Eastern Railroad Capital.

FROM THE SOUTH.
MEMPHIS, Jan. 25, 1870.

Local politics is the most
exciting topic'in our city. What with
Carpetbaggers, Scallawags and Radical
Cut-throats on-one side, and Rebels,
Ku Klux and Niger drivers on the 9th
er, there is enough to disgust respscta-
BILE citizens of all parties. We have
just passed throuh the Municipal Elec-
ton under the New City Charter. Ap-
parently good men were elected to the
Chief officers, but the Police Depart
ment has been organized with a rough
set of men. Whether the change in the
city government is for. the better, re-
mains to be seen. As to general poll
tics, there is change. The "rebel'
las you call them papers have become
extremely moderate, whereas the form
eriy move conservative have become if
1T may be so termed, s'rebel." The
Constitutional Convention in session at
Nashville seems more quiet than was
anticipated, and good results are expect
ed.
Although business is dull, and duller
times In prospect, we are as a people
financially better off than any time since
the war. The planters haye not alone
paid their debts, and laid in provisions
for another season, but have also been
able to procure Injuries, such as furni-
ture and better clothing than homespun
and brogans; as we'll as being able to hold
their cotton for an advance. In spite of
the general prosperity we look to the
failure Of large number of small mer-
chants. This is principally owing to over
stocks laid in on credit. Scarcely a
Country Store that has not an immense
Stock of all kinds of goods, which are
not paid tor. Planters hold their cot
ton for higher prices, no immediate
prospect of rise, consequently no money,
no business. 1t is too early to form any
judgement Of what prospects are for
planting the coming season. Prepare
tons are going forward, hands are being
procured of all colors and races. we
see a great many Germans and Swedes
here, who are going to work on plan
tations and on the different lines of
Railroads that are being built. One is
to eat off St. Louis from Springfield
Missouri, to Memphis, another from
Memphis, north along the Mississippi
river to Columbus Kentucky Another
from Memphis to Selma Alabama, to say
nothing of finishing the Railroad to Little
Rock and Fort Smith, Arkansas, from
which latter is projected the Southern
Pacific Road the terminus of which is
San Diego, California. The latter place
is attracting great deal of attention
here and will undoubtedly become great
place before many years. We have great
ideas of San Diego, and may make a fit
ting there before long. One inducement
would be the climate, which by all &C
counts is the finest in the world, and not
such a miserable as this of ours. The
past week we have had four changes
| each from 90 to 500 in "a hours. One
day the thermometer ranged SO next
day 40. 1t makes one shudder only te
think of it, let alone the experience. The
health of the people naturally suffers

An Important Railroad MeasI

The Wisconsin says "a bill ''to encour-
age the building ofrailroads' has been
introduced in the Assembly by Hon. w.
I'll. Chandler, of this county, who stated,
however, that he introduced it by request
and without committing himself in It's
favor, of which the following is an out
line:
1t provides that towns and incorporated
cities or villages through or near which
lines of railroad may be hereafter built,
may subscribe for stock in such roads,
and Issue bonds for the amount so sub
scribed. To guarantee interest upon the
bonds the State license fee of five per
cent. upon the gross earnings of the
roads so constructed and the amount of
State tax upon the localities issuing the
bonds which represents the tax upon the
Increased valuation of property in such
localities over the year 1869, is set apart.
Any deficiency in providing for the in
terest from these sources is to be provid-
ed for by direct levy upon localities is
suing the bonds, by the Secretary of
State. The State Treasurer is to be the
custodian of funds arising, and authoriz-
cd to apply the same to the payment of
interest. The amount of aid any road
may receive from localities is not to ex-
coed $1,000 per mile.
This scheme is understood to be par
ticularly designed to promote the building
OF the Wisconsin, Central Railroad, and
has been warmly advocated by Mr.. F.
terly, the President of the Central Con
pany, and urged on the consideration OF
the Assembly Railroad Committee.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD.

An important meeting was held in
this city yesterday, of persons interested
in the construction of the Northern Pa
citie Railroad, which is to run from
Lake Superior to Vancouver Island.
There were large number of shares re
presented. and letters were read from
persons who were unable to attend
themselves, recommending to their
bankers here that their investments in
the road should be increased The meet
ing lasted some hours, and the general
expression was, that work should be
pushed forward vigorously in the ap-
proaching spring. York Tribune,

THE LAST C4N1DI4N PANIC.

Not till the Adirondack woods go to Ottawa is
it likely that Sir John Macdonald will actually
haze to encounter the Fenians. Yet this great
man has reused the Canadians with tOcsn,
as though the Fenians were advancing like
another "Brnam wood to Dunsinane"-an
army in emerald green like moving forest, as it
were, of uncut shillalehs.
Now the Fenians are not the real trouble
of Canada. The Protestants there, who
are English, hate the Catholics, who are, after
a kind, French, since the latter have
been more than usually provoking in their
sympathies with the Winnipeg Government; ;
but this is not all. Nova Scotia has stren-
uOusly condemned the Dominion Government
not for the first time. Confederation has been
overwhelmingly voted down in Prince Ed
wards Island Newfoundland complains /;
NewBrunswick is doubtful in respect to the
same problem of Confederation. Columbia is
not satisfied, and Winnipeg is the object
i've point of an expedition. The actual
number of people of Canada who are
satisfied with the existing condition we should
like to know. Apparently, two-thirds of the
Canadian Dominion are not. What then,
shall the government of Sir John, Sir Peter
Sir Ebenezer do7 Do something desperate to
be sure.
What is better than Fenian fright to
scare up feeling of nationality, and
make loyal Canadians hug their Con-
federation This plan has the adj
vantage of overawing the Catholic fac
tion, while it aids the Red River crusade but
it has its drawbacks. Where are the Fenians

franchisement to the bitter end, they could
not reasonably expect to get many negro votes
Just now and, should they gain even fifty
Whites by keeping up a war of prescription
against the Blacks, this may be the best that
they can do, and may possibly enable them to
hold the State.
But there are States where the Blacks are
majority of the voters, or very near 1t; ana
the Delaware policy will here be ruinous.
South Carolina, Mississippi, and even Loulsi-
ana, can only be carried for White Mans
party by driving the Blacks from the polls,
or compelling them to vote for their own
degradation. Kentucky may be carried on the
Dred Scott platform; but not all Its Congress
districts; Maryland can scarcely be contested
with safety on that basis; while Virginia, North
Carolina. and Georgia, are all Republican
States if their entire Black vote is given over
without contest by their Sham Democracy.
Concede the franchise to the Blacks, as was so
freely done in Virginia last year, ana
Democratic triumph in each is quite attain
able; compel them all to vote Republican, ana
they insure q Republican triumph. Hence, our
Senator NJ. Norton, The Chicago Times, ana
good many more such, insist that resistance to
Black Enfranchisement is played Out-that
their party must respect accomplished facts
and henceforth practice on the Dutchmans
sensible rule-"All are fish that come to my
/" net"
We respectfully suggest that Mr. Belmont
shall call together his Democratic National
Committee and have it lay down the law OF
the case If the Pope being infallible, needs
the moral support of a Council to place the
fact beyond dispute, tie Democratic party
needs an authoritative statement of what is
it's position on the Question of the Day. We
hope soon to hear that the call is out.
"Let us have Peace" in the perturbed bosom
of Sham Democracy.
New-York tribune., 1870-04-19

An account, which we publish elsewhere, Of
the present strike in the Schuylkill coal region
offers an explanation, interesting to every
housekeeper, of how the price of coal is kept
up by unreasonable and injudicious strikes of
the miners. Powerful combinations of Labor
Unions in the Pennsylvania mines control the
supply of coal for Ncw-YOrk and the Eastern
cities in a most arbitrary and unjust manner.
The strikes are of course costly, but that does
not concern operators or miners, for in the
end it is the consumers who pay the expenses.
Strikes, in reducing the supply, increase the
price of coal, thus saving the proprietors from
loss. The wages of the miners depend on the
price of coal; hence the scarcer the article, and
the higher the price, the better the wages. 1t
is difficult to determine what remedy exists
for this state of affairs.

New-York tribune., 1870-04-19

We have not done full justice TO the lcgis-
latiye ingenuity of Messrs. Could, Fisk and
Tweed. In fact, we despair of ever doing so.
But their late defensive measures against the
offensive English stockholders of their road,
not to mention their many domestic assaliants,
are too admirable to be dismissed with the
brief paragraph which we gave them on
Saturday. The bill given in our Albany cor
respondence was, by an absurd blunder, the
bill originally introduced. Experience with
tax levies and city charters has
shown conclusively that bills which,
on going in, have most innocent
look, come out Of the Legislative mills at
Albany most monstrOus in form. 1t Is
so. we find, with the act protecting Mcssrs.
Gould, Fisk and Tweed, as with the other bills
which affect the latters power and pocket.
Not content with declaring that they shall not
be removed or suspended "except by an order
"0f the Court,n Directors Gould, Fisk, Tweed,
&C., have altered the bill until 1t actually
names the only Court which shall have this
power. Naturally enough the Court thus
named is that in which Judge George &. Bar
nard presides-the Supreme Court. Only tins
Court also shall have power to appoint re-
ceiver in any suit against the Erie Corporation,
or, in short, in any way affect its operation.
OF course the Eric Railway Corpora
ton is not named in the bill. 1t
would be as manifestly unjust to the
devil to suspect him Of ever willingly display
ing his cloven foot, as of imagining Jay
Gould betraying his purposes, when he can
help it. The bill, on first reading, apparently
applies to any corporation, but, at the close OF
the Vth section, brief but effective sentence
excepts from its operations all banking, in
surance, and manufacturing corporations gen.
orally! The most mOnstrous fraud OF all,
however, is John r. HOllman's signature to
this bill. We can imagine how Legislators
might be deceived into voting for it, but the
Governor who deliberately signed it was
party to the fraud it contemplated.
