our citizens will no doubt feel an into,

soon DC put on its feet again. we learn
that during the past three months Success
ful efforts have been made on the line fer
n restoration of the local assets TO enable
the company to close negotiations in LON

The line of the road between Cairo and
Nincenncs Is one hundred and ffty-six
miles in length. OF this nearly one hun
dred and twenty miles are graded-eighty-
fives miles from Vncennes southwark and
thirty-iive miles from Cairo north ward.
Thus il will BIO seen that the road could
soon be opened up FOR trade and travel.
1t cannot be disguised that the road is of
great importance to Cincinnati Many of
our merchants doa large business in South

country grows, is capable of grolt expan.

THE Cincinnati Times and Chronicle,
Of the 22d inst, urges the people of
Cincinnati to renew their subscriptions
to the Cairo and Nincennes railroad, on
the ground that Cincinnati now does q
large business with Southern Illinois
business which is capable Of great
expansion n.' Even those dolts OF
Cairo who oppose the policy of voting
our bonds to help this railroad company
out of the woods can understand that
Cincinnati will be benefited by the
road and that the citizens of that great
business center would be fools if they
did not encourage the enterprise. How
then can these men, who are so sv # to
see the advantages that would come to
other cities from the construction of rail
roads fail to see that the Cairo and
Nincemncs railroad will be of far more
consequence to Cairo than to Cincin.
natl Cairo is the market to which all
the counties within Illinois, along the
line Of the proposed road, would bring
their produce and in which they would
spend their surplus cash. With the
road in operation, Cairo would com
mand not only the railroad travel from
the south to the east, and the resulting
good that never fails to come to those
cities through which great stream Of
travel flows, but it could also command
trade which now seeks other ccntcrs
easier Of access. The road would bcne-
fit Cincinnati it would build up Cairo.
And yet the eggrcgiuus asses who op.
pose the proposition to vote oul bonds
in aid Of the enterprise hippantly say
"Oh yes its well enough that Gin
'cinna,i should aid the road, but we
should not because, you see, the road
'will be built any how, and, at best, it
won't amount to much to Us. Besides.
'it will increase the value of our prop
'erty and consequently our taxes. We

They have all been selected from the agri-

SAYS that staunch democratic Jour
nal. the New Orleans Times: The
greatest political blundcr ever made by
"a party. was that of the democracy
when they failed to nominate Salmon
.p. Chase as their candidate for .hc
presidency at their last national con-
| vcption. 1t is the more mortifyinS to
| reflect that this failure was mainly due
to the lack of that political and moral
courage and independence which USED
to be characteristic of the national de-
mocracy." Every word of this is true
and we look back with regret at the
failure Of the party to take that tide IN
their affairs at the food. But over the
split milk of the past we should not feel
disposed to weep much if we were not
fearful that stumbling and spilling the
milk Of success had become habit with
the party. The old heads and the hard
heads Of the party cant be brought to
understand that the world moves and
that parties must adapt themselves to
the times in which they exist. They
cannot understand why the chronic
Office seekers Of the party, against whose
records the radicals can hurl perfect
storm of dangerous missiles, should be
set aside and sucE men as Chase, Doc
little or Adams preferred. Ihey |
would close the doors of the party
against all newcomers who would not
vote for them and their measures. We
hope, however, that experience has
taught the party wisdom, and that in
the next contest for the presidency it
will go before the people with a plat
'orm of vital issues and candidate
whose past record cannot be pierced by
he cry of traitor or "coppcrhcad.

startling argument to the many already

"The history Of four generations of a
family as sketched by NJ. Morel, distin-
guished French writer, is full of instruc-
tion in this matter. 1t is as follows:
First generation. The father was
habitual drunkard, and W killed in q
| puplic house brawl.
Second generation. The son inherited
his fathers habits, which gave rise to at
tacks of mania, terminating in paralysis and
death.
Third Generation. The gra .dson was
strictly sober, but was full of hypochon-
driacal and imaginary fears of prosecutions;
etc, ana had homicidal tendencies.
Fourth Generation. The fourth in de-
scent had very limited intelligence, and
had an attack of madness when sixteen
years old terminating in stupidity, nearly
amounting TO idiocy. With him the fam
lily probably becomes extinct. And thus
we perceive the persistence of the taint in

temperance will not avert the fatal issue"
