The opening Of line of frst-class rail

hitherto nearly inaccessible, and largely

The distance from St Louis to Little Rock
by this route, is BAG miles, Of which ls5
miles are in the State Of Missouri The
route pursued is via the Iron Mountain
railroad to Pilot Knob; thence southwest
wardly in nearly straight line to Little
Rock. From Little Rock southwest to the
State line of Texas, at Texarcana, is l29
miles. This part is under contract to be
completed in May next At Texarcana

Balance paid by other towns .......... s2a9a4 -
Here, again, it viii he seen that Rock
Island and Moline pay more than all the
other towns in the county These two
towns also contain considerably more than
one half the population of the county.
Under these circumstances, We call upon
the city councils of each town to take some
action in regard to procuring for these
towns their fair and just share ofrepresen-
tation in the Board of Supervisors,
Each of these two townships now have a
supervisor and an assistant supervisor.
Leave these as they are, and get
law passed giving each of these towns
one additional member of the Board Of
Supervisors from each ward in each city,
and provide in the act that they shall he
elected at the regular city elections, when
aldermen or city officers are chosen.
There are FIVE wards in this city, and four
in Moline This would give the two
towns with the representatives they NV
have, Is members of the Board. TIL:
would not give US our fair share of repre-
sentation, but it would very nearly do So
The whole Board would then consist of q
members, of which Rock Island and NJ
line would have l3-less than one-haf
but still very nearly fair representation
The officials in Rock Island and Moline
should attend to this matter without much
delay, for the Legislature meets mex
week, and the act ought to be passed
early in the session in order to give tn,
people chance to elect their represents
tives at the next city election.
Such law, applying to the cities of Pc
oria and Galena, was passed many year
ago We suppose that, under our ney
constitution, in order to get something lik
an equality Of representation the law mus
be general in its operation and apply to al
cities That, of course is no objection I
the movement, and we hope the city coun
ellis of Rock Island and Moline will act up
on the matter, in order that the member
of the General Assembly from this distriC
may know their wishes in regard to tn
question

The Welcome 20 WIN. Howard Day.


An EVENT OF GREAT INTEREST AMONG THE CoLoRED
PEoPLE-THE MEETING AT LITERARY HALL.
The colored citizens OF Wilmington extended
a cordial welcome to Prof. VIM. Howard Day,
last night. Arriving on the train from Philadel-
phia at o'clock, he was metvat the depot by
delegations from the Delaware State Guards,
Abraham Literary Association and Republican
Pioneers No 2, proceeded by the Mt. Vernon
OorDet Band. - 2 kE
The reception took place in Abraham Literary
Hail. 7th and Walnut streets, which was densely
packed. Peters 8 Blake presided, assisted by
McPherson johnson and James Crozier, and A.
r. Henry was appointed Secretary.
The address OF welcome was delivered by the
President Of the meeting, who said that they
had met to receive hero-a hero as other ra-
ces possessed them one worthy to be honored,
and the champion of the colored men In Della
ware, where such championship was worth ones
life. Prof. Day was received with applause, and
spoke for some time. He returned his thanks
for the hearty welcome which had been extend
ed him, and said that lie had been directed to
Delaware by the hand of Providence to labor
with and ameliorate the condition Of his down
trodden brethren. He was glad to see be-
fore him those who had stood by him in days
gone by. He spoke OF being wAylaid at Mid
dletown, and ef the protection which was Afford
cd by three gentlemen who saw in him glimpse
of the colored mans future. Delaware, he
claimed, was far ahead OF Pennsylvania in point
of coored officials in U. s. offices. But it is not
enough to be voters, he said, you must be voted
for, at home-must have voice in the nomina-
tion of candidates, which is more petent than
any other influence.
James Crozer followed in a short speech.
Prof. Day ID spending the day in Wilmington,
and leaves tomorrow for Philadelphia.

Inc Courts were opened, this morning, at the
In the case of Archibald Given Us Patrick Dill
ioni on trial yesterday, the Counsel for the de-
Tense, Geo. II. Bates, made the following addi-
tionAi point as further defence 1That il 4
note valid In Its inception, be transferred upon
general Endorsement, at a rate of more than la-
gai interest t is contract for usurious loan to
the endorser, and not sale Of the note and an
Endorsement"
This made the fourth point of his defence As
70 the law governing this case. He then cited
many authorities in support of them, and argued
it ct length, up to the hour Of the noon recess
after which Mr.. Higgins, his colleague, followed
him until about 81 p. M, closing the argument
Mr. Bayara in reply took the ground that pos-
session was always held in law to be prfnsd facis
evidenc OF title, and was good title until the
contrary was shown by proof.
As to the point" that 3 note or title found to
nave been usurious In Its inception was void in
the hands OF any subsequent holder whAvevsrD
heidi not choose to reply. as it was question
which could not determine this case. l[ u.
AS to the last point made by the counsel for
defence, he dsnisd it and began TO cite authori-
ment not being finished at the hour of adjourn.
ment, the jury was discharged at O'Clock, until
to-morrow morning At 10 o'clock, to which time
the Court adjourned.
/, Anete was Also held, to-day In the Registers

Court of Ohancery and Orphans Court at which
the Chancellor delivered an oral decree dssoly-
ing an injunction in the case of - ys. Ro-
dleki also hearing several motions and making
The most important order, In one respect, was
that made by his Honor, the Chancellor, in the
cass OF Satterthwaite Marshall which case wsA
heard some months ago, (near Year, In which
the Court ordered that the defendant should, as
IN accordance with his argument, convey to the |
plaintiff certain share In his patent "Revolving

to obey, whereupon he was confined 10 the |

complied with said decree, where he has accord |
