TVO Boards Of Directors.

Il is claimed by many that the new
board Of directors elected at Louisiana
week before lsSt 10 . bogus concern.
Believing nat that board can only work
1Asm aud retard. the progress Of the On
terprise, we hope it may prove to be
bougus, bus ieas il is not, fos ws have
tho assurance Of . gentleman Of the b.
gal profession, who 10 we'll acquainted
with the railroad law, that il was legally
elected, aud can probably force its recog.
pitiop ~ the real board Of directors.
There is, however, a nice point Of law
cornected with the matter, and the fual
result cannot be determined definitely at
this time. One thing is certain-Lou-
isiana and Clarksvillc a-e deteru ined to
leave nothing undone that may cripple
or kill the interior line, notwithstanding
the fact that several hundred thousand
dollars have already been expended upon
it. Those two towns have both wealth
and influence at their disposal and are
determined to use them to the best sd
vantage in gaining their purpose. .
If they were working honestly 10 the
matter, With full determination to build
the road, we could find no room for OBJ
lection, for the people Of St. Charles care
but little whether the road goes by way
Of Troy or Louisiana, provided it comes
here but their intentions are not honest !;
they know they cant build the road, and
arc not willing to let any one else build
it.
The time was when it would have been
Of great advantage to st. Charles to secure
route of transportation to the coal
mines in Lincoln county, but discovery
has recently been made nearer this city
than Troy, ofa large body Of the same
quality of coal as that that exists IN Lin.
coin county, and when this discovery is
more fully tested and published to the
word--as it will be in a short ume--the
people of St. Charles will see that they
no longer have any cause to to tax them.
selves for new road just to get good
coal.
Therefore We are indifferen as to which
route the St. Louis Il Keokuk road shall
be built upon, but it does seem that good
judgment would point to the route where
large portion Of the grading has al
ready been done.
In this connection the Troy Herald
makes some very sensible and pointed
remarks when it says, that, should the
Louisiana route be adopted the Company
would be responsible to Lincoln county,
and the balance of the interior line, for
the money already expended. amounting,
in Lincoln county, to perhaps one hun.
dred and fifty thousand dollars. This is
certainly strong argument in favor Of the
route that is already partly finished

Some of the New York papers are
making much ado over the fact that
Grants residence at Long Branch was
present to him, for which ho appointed
Tom Murphy, one of the instigators, to
the Collectorship Of New York. What
oft; hasn't Grant been doing that sort
Of business ever since he was elevated to
the chief magistracy? Tho only fellow
shin. rnnniraa at the White. House to
qualify man for Office is donation OF
some sort to the President. The larger

giver is offered to steal back the amount

Georgia papers mention an occurrences
In jefferson county, in that state, which
resulted in the death of two men, one of
them white man named Coleman, hav-
ing been shot by a colored man named
Pierce. There are conflicting stories
concerning tho affair. The Republicans
say that Coleman went to Pierce's house
for the purpose Of Offering violence to
him. The Democrats declare that Cole

Preparatory to the October election iu
Texas, the Houston Union keeps the Ku.
klux law standing in its columns, as an
intimidation to those who are opposed to
the Administration, and asserts that it
has constant advicss from Washington
that the President is determined to en-
force it in that State. The same paper
coolly remarks that the reason that the
colored men never DO violence to Dem
ocratic colored orators is, that there Is an
understanding between the speakers and
their colored heasers and that the for
mer make Democratic speeches while
they privately tell their brethern to vote
the Republican ticket. Tho Union says
the negroes expect to make a good deal
Of money out Of she Democrats at the
