The W. & O. Il. R.-The business over
this road is, we are pleased to learn, steadily
and rapidly increasing, and the receipts for
September will show most gratifying state of
Affairs. The transportation department has
been taxed to its utmost to accommodate the
increasing freighting business, while the travel
has kept pace with the trade The earnings for
the mouth past will, we understand, not only
be sufficient to pay all expenses, including sa!a-
res of officers, &C., but leave a sufficient
amount to meet the accruiug six months inter-
est, 10 gold, upon the new bonds Of the CON-
pauy, that have been disposed of. The success
Of The road, under the energetic management
of Mr.. Lewis Mckenzie, is very gratifying,
not ouly to the people of this city, but TO those
Of all this section of country, and progress west
ward is earnestly desired, as means not only
of building up Alexandria, bat of developing
and enhancing the value Of portion of the
State unsurpassed in fertility and mineral re-
sources, and only needing an outlet to at once
attract population aud capital. The fact that
with so comparatively short a line, the receipts
are amply sufficient to meet all contingencies, it
would seem, should create demand for the
bonds of the road, not only as Il sure and safe
Investment, but as means OF aiding 10 extend
ing the great work, every mile Of which car
lies it iuto still more productive country,
thereby enhancing its value. The lesson taught
by the late financial crash" by which many
in this city and the surrounding c. unity have
suffered losses from the depreciation of distant
railroad bonds, will doubtless have the effect
to cause moneyed men and those having means
ves,ments in securities, Of which they know,
personally more, aud will, in all probability
cause a greater demand for the bonds Of our
own roads

ADVICE WORTHY OF THOUGHT.

NEW ORLEANS, April ia confer
ence Of the city members of the Fusion
General Assembly and committee of
the presidents of the independent clubs
OF New Orleans, issue an address to the
people, OF which the following is an
extract:
blicopinion throughout the Union
is against the usurpation our only
danger, if there be any, will come from
ourselves. If the people of Louisiana
will sanction by obedience and acqui-
escense to this government they will
give it the only validity it can ever
acquire. It is only by our own subnis-
sion that our cause can be defeated. We
recommend the people OF the several
parishes for the purpose of the most
efficient resistance to this usurpation,
and for mutual aid and defense, to join
the Peoples League of Louisiana. We
must remember that there can be no
dc .J1cto government against de Jure
government in the State. Tho only
way by which the Kellogg usurpation
can be established as government is
by the acquiescense OF our people. The
issue presented in the Louisiana case to
Congress, and the people OF the other
States, is neither a party or sectional
one, and for this reason we have the
support of q large and influential section
OF the Republican party, as we'll as the
elements which composed tho Liberal
party in the late Presidential election.
The people of Now Orleans are not pay
ing taxes, cannot in fact, pay them, nor
are they giving any recognition to the
usurperS."

says:

Judge w. II. Rutland, OF Grant,
makes the following statement:
The Lynch Returning Board ignored
the election of our parish officers, and
Mr.. Kellogg appointed Il set of men to
fill the vacancies, but who did not quail
ify according to law, and allowed the
time to elapse in which they are &c
quired to do it in. Mr.. Kellogg, at my
instance, commissioned all officers who
were elected, including both Republic
cans and Fusionists, white and cOlored,
except a parish judge who had already
qualified and was q Republican.
Ward, Il member of the DryadcS
street legislature, learning that Mr..
Kellogg was going to issue these COM
missions, fastened to Colfax and took
violent and fOrciblc possession of the
courthouse and Offices with a mob
There was a proposition to hold Il mass
meeting Of tho people for the purpose
OF expressing their condemnation in 3
quiet way ut the course pursued by
these men, but when the day arrived
for tho meeting to have been called to-
gether there were such violent demon
STATIONS by Ward, Register and Flow
ers, and the armed band that was back
ing them, that the few white people
who had the matter in hand did not
pretend to do anything, but quietly re-
turned to their homes without going
near the courthouse, or assembling

PROP. AGAsSIZ ON THE NEGRO.

the leading naturalist of tho world
Prof. AgassiE, has been lecturing in
San Francisco, and Is reported by the
San Francisco Scientific Press to have
said:
~ have pointed out over hundred
specific differences between the bonal
and nervous systems of the white man
and the negro. Indeed, their frames
are alike In no particular. There is no
bone In the ne&ro's body which is re-
latively Of the same shape, size, articu-
lation, or chemically Of the same COM
position AS that Of the white man. The
neRro's bones contain n far greater
proportion of calcareous salts than those
Of the white man. Even the negroes
blood Is chemically n very different
fluid from that which courses in the
veins OF the white man. The whole
physical organization Of the negro differs
quite as much from the white mans rs
II does nom that Of the chimpanzee-
that Is, in his bones, muscles, nerves
and dbres, the chin !'anzee has not
much farther to progress to become a
white man. This fact science inexora-
bly, demonstrates.
UClimate has no more to do with the
difference between tho white man and
the negro than it has with that between
the negro and the chirnpanzee, or it
has between the horse and the ass, or
the eagle and the owl. Each is dis
tinct and seperate creation. The negro
and the white man we're created rs
specifically different rs the owl and the
eagle. They were designed to fill diff
ferent places in the system Of nature.
The negro is no more n negro by ACCT
dent or misfortune than the owl is the
kind Of bird he is by accident or mis-
fortune. The negro Is no moro the
white mans brother than the owl is
the sister OF the eagle, or the ass the
brother Of the horse. How stupendous,
and yet how simple, is the doctrine
that the Almighty maker of the uni
verse has created different species Of
men, Just as He has different species
Of lower animals, to I'LL different places
and ofhces in the grand machinery Of
naturo."
The sumo view. were long ago ex-
pressed by eminent scientific men in

some ten or twelve years ago were
boldly defended by = distinguished

A STORY WITH 4 MORAL

"A story is told OF n French gentleman
who, having lost the bulk of his pro-
perty through the rascnlitics of his
friends in whom he trusted, crowned
it all by the loss of his mental balance,
and for the remainder OF his days
found his only delight i'll riding iii ON
nibuscs and passing the fare from the
passengers to the driver. taking care
when change was returned to add to it
sous or two from his pocket, and
watch the effect on the receiver. In
nine cases ont OF ten, ;lS the story goes,
the passenger, counted over his change,
and finding, as he supposed, that the
driver had cheated himself would look
bewildcrcd for n moment, and then
pocket the change with quiet ciucklc.
Tho special delight OF the lInatic was
in satisfying himself in this way that
ninc-tenths of his fcllow-men were dis
honest, if they only had the opportunj-
ty.

THEFARNBRs IN THE FIELD AT LAST


already organised clubs, or havetne field
occupied by the lodges Of the Patrons Of
Husbandry, (which are called oranges
Some people, whose means of informa-
ton are excellent, place the number at
one thousand; others say that there are
not less than twelve hundred. The
number Is certainly far beyond COM
putation nom any means now at our
disposal. A few counties have more
than twenty of both associations. The
average membership is about one hum
dred male adults, and increasing. The
combined membership of the clubs and
oranges Of the State cannot, therefore,
fAll much below one hundred thousand
1t present, with d prospect that by fall
moro than half the voting population
Of Illinois will be included. In the
light of these facts, the farmers move
ment assumes magnitude little dream
I'd OF BY those who are unfamiliar
with the subject"
At first the movement was extremely
awkward, being directed exclusively at
the railroads. The discovery has been
b the great enemy Of the farmer, that
by increasing the cost of building rail-
roads and operating farms, the tariff ring
Robbles the fruits Of industry through
out the country. Monopolists and their
superviceable politicians may make
ready 60 stand from under. There is
a great awakening. Tho Tribune says:
sAn account Of all the meetings held,
and the gradual but universal spread
Of indignant sentiment, Is impossible.
There is no public record Of the farm
ers' movement accessible, although q
full and correct history will no doubt
be eventually written. We can
only allude to the public meet
ings held in this part of the State, some
Of which were reported in the newspa-
pers Of Chicago, and advise our readers
that what was true Of one country and
township was measurably true Of
every other county and township in
illinois,"
The newspapers Of Chicago compete
with each other as to which shall give
the fullest and most hattering reports
Of the farmers meetings. Hero is one
OF the resolutions recently most popu-
lar:
"Resolved, That we insist that the
duty on iron, steel, leather, lumber,
woolens, tin, railroad rails, plush,
velvet, and all material used in building
railroads, engines, cars and steamships,
ought to be at once repealed; that the
interests Of the Iaborers and artisans OF
Pennsylvania and New England, as
we'll as the farmers ofthe West, require
absolute free trade in these materials;
that 1t Is quite essential that such ma
terials shall be imported free OF duty as
that railroads should obey the laws,
that free trade would enable the rail-
roads to make a tariff Of price conform
able to law"
