"Justice" in the Knoxville Voter thus
"whoops it up" to Hon. ]. L. Mccormack,
editor of the Democrat and Senator from
Marion County:

Mr. EDIToR.-The editor of the Marion County
Democrat seems to have desire to impugn the
motives, and black en- the character of Hon. NJ. M.
Walden. have been trying to discover the diff
ference in principle between one act OF the Hon.
Senator of Marion County, in the regular session
OF the 14th General Assembly. and that of Hon.
M M. Walden which compoees the warp and
wool of the Senator's editorials. The act referred
to was in reference to the newspaper question
When the Senate was voting twenty dailics, or
their equivalent to each member, the Senator
moved that the members pay for them them
selves thereby showing that In his opinion to pay
for'them from the State Treasury, would be q
.'steal." But the motion failed and the newspa-
per resolution passed. Now what did the Hon.
Senator do? BY refusing 20 order his quota ci
papers the money which went to pay for them
would have remained in the State Treasury and
benefited the people of the whole State; but the
Senator then proposed to use the money 'where
1t would do the most good, ordered the papers,
and sent some to a fen OF his constituents.
Now, Mr.. Editor if there is any difference in
principle in acts of the two officers it appears to
me to be in favor OF Mr.. Walden.
1t would be reasonable to suppose that In order
ing his pa per he would order those he regarded
the ablest edited; therefore 1t Is probable the
Marion County Democrat obtained some addition
to its circulation.
do not refer to the Hon. Senator's acts for the
purpose of disaPproving but to show the similari
ty and to express my surprise at the condemnation
the Senator pronounces upon himself for the pur
pose Uf condemning Mr.. Walden"

PERsoNAL.-Last Friday we received a
call from Mr. Van Tuyl of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific r. r., who was
in the city feeling the pulse OF our people
on the proposed extension OF that road
from Sigourney west through this tier of
| counties to Knoxville, Indianola, &c. He
says the company is in earnest, means bus
mess, and will put it through this season
if the proper encouragement is given
Any one acquainted at all with railroads,
knows that this company is one OF the
best (if not tile best) in the land,
is wealthy and will scarcely feel the addi
| tional strain this branch would cause. If
our people want this road they can have
it. If not it will be our own fault. Mr..
Van Tnyl was not prepared to offer any
terms, but only desired an expression of
the feeling of the people on the matter
| There are already two routes surveyed,
one straight through, crossing the river
IN White Oak TIP, near Curriers' mill
| The other runs southwest from Sigourney,
and touches Fremont. The latter route
is about six miles longer, but has some adj
vantages not possessed by the other, about
offsetting the increase of distance. We
hope the terms will be such as we can &C.
cept at once, and thus save delay in the
enterprise.
