The Railroad Meeting,

The Railroad Meeting,
Last Monday evening, resulted, as
we anticipated, in an old fashioned
Love Feast. The few sinners pres
ent were not numerous enough to
disturb the general good feeling
that prevailed the assembly.
Mr.. Johnston, the first speaker,
made some estimates OF the benefits
which this Grinnell, Cedar Falls &
Winona road would bring to lama
county, in general, and to Toledo, in
particular; clearly demonstra ting that
there are few if any tax payers in

Df-aSeAey3tho Vice President Of
the road, in his SIP eech, told US, what
so many knew before, that Railroad
Companies granted no favors gratu-
itously. Localities wanting depots
must make their requests accom-
panied with cash, or its equivalent.
Toledo cannot be treated with any
exceptional policy, even though three
directors Of the company reside here.
If Toledo wants the advantage of a
depot 1t must pay for that advantage.
The benefits OF railroad are subject

None of the most enthusiastic
"P2ugsroad Advocates believe that
the ''Plug" can render itself of the
highest usefulness unless incorporat-
ed with the through road. However
desirable plug road may be,
through road is much more desirable.
Now, if we vote down the one per cent
tax, asked for. by The through road,
the incorporation of the plug by
the through road is certainly not

verted the opinion of the Abbcville Flag towards
the COURIER, We give the article rerbafins liter
atm:
''The Opclousas Courier is m old fogy' sheet
that cant see any good in the printing bill and
can't swallow Warmoeh. 1t seems to be led by
the New Orleans Bee, and appears to be consis-
tent and honest. 1t is frightfully reaetionary.
and genuinely Democratic"
We will simply add that the only thing we
could sec in the printing bill is that it is an
aboninable law enacted by servile legislature
for the simple purpose of enabling Warmoth to
purchase knaves to help his cause.
