Sllort-Line Railroad.

In speaking of the sLouisvillc. Cincinnati
and Lexington Railroad, of which our es-
teemcd townsman, Gen. Jno Echols has re-
Gently been elected President, the Courier
Journal says:
The Louisville Cincinnati and Lexington
railroad-the short-line-is so completely
identified with the interests Of this city that
there are few public enterprises in this vicin
ity which attract and deserve a greater de-
gree of attention from the citizens of Louis
vile. 1t is held next to the Nashville road
as source Of prosperity as well as pride, and
under the management OF DR.. NoRvIN green
while building up its own financial and busi-.
4 ness interests, it has contributed no little to
the growth and trade of the city. Not long
ago, however Dr. Green resigned the presi-
dency he had so successfully filed, and it be
came a matter Of Importance to fad some one
qualified to take the position thus made va
cant.
Last night there was meeting of the
Board Of Directors, and the difficulty was SOL
we'd. Gen. John Echols, Of Virginia, was
elected president, aud will at once accept the
position and enter upon its duties. Gen Ech
OILS. while he is held in the highest esteem in
Virginia where he is best known, is also We
4 ry favorably known in tn State as one Of
the leading directors Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad, now nearly completed; and
| from his active connection with the Lexiny
ton and Big Sandy railroad, recently finished
to Mt. Sterling, and eventually to connect
With the Chesapeake and Ohio road at Hun
tineton, West Virginia. The close relations
of these three companies. as links Of one of
the great trunk lines Of the country, consti-
tute most important TEXTURE ia our railroad
4 connections with the Eastern cities and sea-
board-one Of the most important interests in
our entire railroad system.
General Echols' position in these enterprises
his intimate acquaintance with their details
and his participation in their management
render his election not only opportune but
most appropriate, as an earnest Of the early
completion of the direct railroad connection
with Virginia so long desired by our citizeus.
and which will give US another line into the
Northern network Of railroads, and to tide
water in the James river. besides affsrdin g
new and convenient connections with impor-
tant harhors on the Atlantic coast. The cleo
ton Of Gen. Echols will be received with gen.
eral favor, and will be regarded in railroad
circles, as well as among the business public,
as wise selection. We welcome the dis
tinguished Virginian among us: ! The mantle
so long worthily worn by DR.. Green could
have fallen on n, more deserving shoulders

A recent visit to several of the eastern G;
ties, has proven to US that the late election
in Virginia, will accomplish all that
We predicted it would. A gentleman
who had recently returned from a, tour
through New York and Pennsylvania iuform
ed US Of the warmth Of feeling manifested for
the Commonwealth, the kind sentiments
which found utterance from all lips, were tru.
" astonishing. Many persons of capital and
enterprise are now turning their attention to
this State as safe place for renumerative in
vestments, and the gentleman with whom we
conversed, was satisfied that heavy immi-
grafton would now commence in this direc-
ton.
+ In Washington city, We csnverscd with
several intelligent gentlemen, who had sup
ported Mr.. Greeley, but now thought the
best thing that could have happened for that
city was the reelection of Grant He had
taken great interest in the improvement Of
the city, and now that his administration is
assured for four years longer, they anticipate
the most favorable result in the identifying
and business progress Of the capital.
These gentlemen we're satisfied that the eff
feet of the election would contribute largely
to the benefit of this State.-that capital
would feel aecure, and that as we progressed.
WASHINGTON would share in the prosperity.
One Greeley democrat went so far as to de
clare that the best thing that could be now
done would be for the States that cast their
vote for Greeley and Brown, to now instruc
their electors to vote for Grant, and make
that election unanimous. He was then sure
sectionalism would be crushed out.

A WORD ABOUT VOORHEES,.

ID. W. Voorhees, has been called by his
admirers 'Indiana's favorite son." and
has been, In fact, democrat much followed
after, not only in Indiana, but also in all
the other states Of the Union. lie has
written several essays, which he has miss.
named speeches. and these have been
widely read and considerably admired.
Ills style is forid If not gorgeous, and his
similies are not much the worse from the
constant wear to which he subjects them.
As a democrat, he ranks with the tough
knots that cannot be put to any particu-
lar use and yet lack any Of the qualities Of
the ornamental. He began before tho late
war to insist that the negro was not enti-
tied to and should never exercise the right
Of suffrage; that the doctrine Of non-cocr-
cion was the true doctrine Of the consttu-
ton and that the south could not be CO.
creed TO stay in the Union that slavery
was divine institutions that republcanism
was the sum Of all villainies, and that
Hon. ID. w. voorhees, was infallible. To
this day Mr.. Voorhees, holds to the opinion
that he is the know.all and the direct all
OF the Democracy, and lately has allowed
this very insolcnt and rather insulting
characteristic to crop out in his Grant
speech Of yesterday, and in q telegram in
which he says: "The Democratic party
will meet in National Convention, and
nominate It's candidates." etc. Who au.
,horized Mr.. VOORHEES, to use the word ,cill
in this connection Is he Sir Oracle ?
The Democratic party may do the foolish
thing he indicates, and will IL the advice
of Democrats of his kind is heeded-Dem
ocrats who come up with snsil-like pace in
the rear Of events, protesting that what
has been shall not be, and inviting evils
they deprecate by refusing to stiac their
prejudices and act with men with whom
they have differed in the past. II the
people Of the Republic are to be led Out
Of captivity, Voorhees, must be the Aaron
II not the Moses Of the deliverance; and
If he cannot be, the bonds must be
strengthened rather than weakened. Lgh,
that does not aow from his taper is worse
than darkness. He is one of the selfish
prophets Of Democracy, who cry; No.
400 r. and smite the hand Of the stranger
who would lead tho country they profess
to love into happier era.
