THE GRINNELL, CEDAR FALLS i
NINONA Il. Il.
Shall we Secure 1t!

! When we announced the organiza'
/ ton of the Grinnell, Cedar Falls d
Winona Railroad Company, some
weeks since, it was snearcd at by
some and laughed at by others, as
paper enterprise. It's probability
was the mole doubted because the
proposed line was to occupy the old
Iowa Central grade as far Cedar
Falls. That the company propose to
build the road on this line and touch
ing these several points, is no longer
doubted by any sane man. But a
certain contingency is in the way,
viz: The granting of the aid re-
CURED, and Of this we propose to
speak more directly in this article
Railroads are built nowadays by'aid
of the people along the route, and
the question resting with the people,
is the all important one, "shall we
extend the help required? Seeing
the point to be gained, shall we, with
true western enterprise, common
sense and pluck, go for it.
To the people along this line 1t is a
plain business transaction. Shall We
invest dollar and gain two? The
farmer says, "do / want this road ?"
and his own good judgment dictates
TO him, yes. What then is his duty
under the circumstances but to put
his shoulder to the wheel and do his
part. That man who knows that the
building of the road is to his individ-
ual interests, and yet sits supinely
back and refuses to aid his neighbors
in securing it, is tfpfit to be called a
citizen of the town where he resides,
aud would do no less than steal what
his more liberal neighbor purchases,
These are plain words, but they are
practical, and we trust to the point.
Now as TO the benefits to the farmers
of the townships who propose to ex-
tend aid to this road, by the voting
of a tax, let us take plain example
We will suppose that a man owns
80 acres of land, worth 50 per acre
total value, $720. A three per cent,
tax on it would be S2l.GO; personal
property, $50, q 3 per cent. tax,
$50. Total, $2G,1O. Say he con-
sumes seven tons of coal in year,
and it costs him $500 per ton, OF
$4,000; : tons, with this road, brings
him coal at $3.50 per ton, or $780,
Deducting difference, we have $1,000
Six hogs weighing 1900 lbs, at
per cent. advance by the new road
net, $3.50, steer, at I per cent. al
vance by new road, 800. Say the
farmer uses 1000 feet of lumber fol
common repairing, and obtains at il
$2.less per thousand by the new road
On the competition on dry goods
groceries, &C., he saves $500.
Forty acres of wheat yielding Il
bushels per acre, would make total
of $50 bushels. Take out 160 bush
els for seed and bread, would leave
400 bushels to sell, and 5 cents ad
vance by the benefit Of the Milwau'
kee market, and the competition
would net him $4,000.

NEGRO DEBTS AGAIN. AT the last term
OF the Court of Common Pleas for this
County. the question of negro debts was
brought directly before the court. Suit
had been brought upon note, which
was shown by the evidence to have been
given in part for the purchase money of
q negro slave. In charging the jury,
his Honor Judge Orr stated that when
elected to Office he had taken an oath TO
support the Constitution OF this State;
that CLAUSE OF that Constitution ex-
pressly forbade the collection of debts,
the confederation Of which was the pur-
chase money of slave or slaves; that in
his opinion this clause was not incon-
sistent with any portion of the Constitu-
ton of the United States, which also he
had sworn to support, and that, there
fore. he was constrained by the. oath
which he had taken to charge them that
they could not, consistently with law.

debt which was for slave. He stated
that he had distinguished precedent'in

debts oolleotable., That Judge Earle, in
tho case 0f the State vs. Mcbride, and
upon somewhat similar grounds. had re-

Presto! CHANGE. Ills Excellenoy Go
vernon Scott has been "interviewed" by
ono of tue attaches of the Courier,
whom he assured that he had been mis-
Represented by the Columbia Union,
which administration organ had incor-
rectly reported his speech. The speech
in question was delivered by Governor
Scott, last week, before the Republican
State Central Committee, in Columbia,
and was reported by the Union as fol-
lows: 'st
''The Governor addressed tie meeting
by invitation, expressing his determine
tion to exhaust his powers to suppress
the Ku KIux organization, and assured
the committee that measures had been
taken to make the session Of the next
United States Court in this city as me.
morable to the midnight nasaasins as
vas the Lutte session of the court presided
over by Judge Bond. in Raleigh. he
said that every pledge of the Democratic
leaders in the up-country, and the
pledges OF the same party in the Tax
Payers Convention, had been broken,
and TINT he had no longer any faith in
anything but the strong arm of power. "
But the Governor now protests that
he said nothing of the kind. His
own version of the speech is very differ
ent. In reply to the Courier CORES
pondent, who asked what the speech
really was, Governor Scott said:
Governor-In my speech before tile
committee, which lasted only ten mi
nutes, was careful to avoidan nllasion
to the Democratic party. The commit
toe had been discussing martial law, ard
were severely condemning some of my
recent appointments. I stated that l
was glad that they had come to the same
conclusion aB myself as TO- the proper
policy to be pursued. I believed in the
enforcement of the OWL law, as it il the
only law, in republic by which the liber-
ties of the people can sbe preserved. I
said we had had enough Of martial law.
in 1866 and 1865 to convince me that it
was not tho proper remedy for our evils.
Reporter you ARE opposed to
martial law?
Governor-Most unequivocally, and
my principal obiectin making that speech
was to show those men who are SO clam
orous for martial Jaw that they are pur-
suing mistaken policy. N .r.r
Reporter Well. how, about the vio-
lated plddges that you alluded to?
Goyernor-I did not make any accu-
satious against the Democratic party.
lReporter-What about the Tax x-payers'
Convention? ru.l .4-i
Governor There. again, T have been
incorrectly reported. In my speech I
said hoped the action of the Tax pay
ers Convention would have done much
to quiet the people, and regret to say
that, too, had failed.

Carolina, except one or two Counties

crop. Old planters say it has been the
worst season ever known. The drought
was in July. as stated, aud when the rain
did come in August it stimulated another
growth that will not mature, and rots all
cotton that is open. An old planter who
