There was an interesting Railroad
meeting at the Court House on Tuesday
evening last, at which Mr.. Hughes the
President of the organization known as
the Mackinaw and Chicago railroad was
present and explained to the meeting
the present condition of the enterprise
its prospect and connections. He also
made known its requirements in the lat
ter of superstructure and conditions re-
quircd by the company who are to iron,
equip and run it when completed.
1t appears that the view taken of this
matter by the True NoRTHENRER Some
weeks since is the one likely to be adopt
cd, that is, the route of the road as in
dicated by Mr.. Hughes is to start from
Plainwell and pass through Otsego, Ken.
dali, Paw Paw, Lawrence, Keelerville
Berrien and thence to Valparaiso in the
State of Indiana. We have all along
felt certain that if this road was ever con
structcd that it would require all the
means that could be raised by each town
and village along and near the route
that they would all have to unite their
mites i'll order to secure this important
competing line.
1t appears to us that this road vii
prove of vast Importance TO the county
and will tend to the early Development
of its resources, passing as it will through
the county from the northeast corner tt
the southwest corner

SOME weeks since the Benton Harbor
Palladium took occasion to laud q
county contemporary as being very
lively and active Republican paper, and
said that the TRUE NoRTHERNER did
not take much interest in politics. We
have carefully examined both papers
since, and are compelled to put it on
record that they both are the most de.
fcient in political matter of any paper
that comes to our table. We guess the
grapes arc sour.

this State, a paper that has heretofore
had strong sympathy with the socalled
Liberal leaders, Sumner, Trumbull,
Blair Il Co., has the following sensible
words
Gone. of the noticeable features in
the exploits of Liberal Republican ora
tors is the rapidity with which they put
oil their Ropublicanism and don the
habilimcnts and characteristics of De-
mocracy. They set out with donuncia-
tions of the Senatorial and other rings.
They end by hcaping calumny vitupcra-
ton upon the whole Republican party.
They commence by dcnouncing the really
Objectionable things in the present Ad-
ministration and openly or tactily ap.
plauding those that arc praiscworthy.-
They end by finding fault with every
thing it has done, even going so far as
to dcnouncc acts in which they partici.
pated, and others which, after invcstiga-
ton they have deliberately approved
As was stated last week, we visited
jackson to hear Senator Trumbull. An
earnest desire for light upon the subjects
before the people, took us thithcr. From
the high opinion entertained of the Sen
ator We expected to hear an earnest
candid, exposition of those things prom
inently before the people. To say that
we were gricvously disappointed is put
ting it mildly. To say that the whole
speech was a series of the voriest special
pleading, is telling the plain, unvarnished
truth. We know it was not our preju
dices that gave us that impression
Our readers know that we have all along
sympathlzcd with the Senator and his
associates in the contest of the pas

The last Decatur Republican publishes
list of names which it claims to have
discontinued the True Northerner, as it
claims to be informed, because some per.
Sous here have discontinued the Repub.
lican, and then says something about re
taliation and SIGH. As to the list of names
published about one half arc subscribe RS
to the True Northerner and Democrats
When they subscribed they knew what
they were getting, but they did not sub
scribe for it on account of its politics
but for other reasons. Not one Of The
names in the Republican list have dis.
continued nor intimated their desire t
do 80. As to the prescription business
that is all bosh and. is the blatant argu
ment of persons who arc apt to have
tendancy to swelling in the head. We
have on our list the names of those who
take the paper simply of its politics, anC
if the paper should change face on th,
political issues before the county all sucl
we should expect to discontinue: we don ;
sec how that would be prescription.

The dwelling house of Norman Rice,
situated about one mile from town on
the road leading to Lawton, was con-
sumed by fire, together with most Of its
contents, on Thursday evening last, the
fire originated from the ovcrturning and
breaking of a kerosene lamp. The flames
were so instantaneous and spread with
such rapidity that all efforts at cxtin-
punishment proved unavailing, and but a
very small portion Of the effects could
be saved The loss is very severe as
nearly all the family clothing, bedding
ETC., persisted in the flames Mr.. Rice had
his property insured in the Farmers Mu-
tual Fire Insurance Company of Van
Buren, County This Company has al
ready adjusted his loss and will pay the
same within sixty days.
