The Preliminary Steps to be Taken
at Once.


at Once.
Evansville Journal OF the End.
We are advised that the Vice Presi-
dent of the above road viii leave in
few days for trip over the proposed
line for the purpose of comforting with
the friends of the project in the coun-
ties through which it is intended to
run, and taking such steps as may be
most eXpedient towards canvassing
for subscriptions of stock, right of
way, etc. He will be accompanied by
a competent civil engineer, who win
make a general examination of the
country previous to commencing in
strumental surveys. The very great
benefit the building of this road viii
confer on the counties through which
it will pass, and the necessity for its
early construction, should ensure for
these gentlemen the hearty co-opera-
ton of all interested. The work to
be done necessarily involves a large
amount of labor, but if properly dis.
tributed, it will not be Onerous OH
any one. 1t would, therefore, be we'll
for the public spirited citizens along
the line, who feel interested in its
success, to organize a movemant
among themselves, without waiting
for the few officers of the company to
do this work along the entire line.
The Journal has already pointed out
the advantage this road would prove
to the people along the line. Nowhere
in the southwest is there q section of
country more in need of a railroad,
nor one that can be more benefited by
having one; nor is there on the other
hand, section of country that pos
sesses greater facilities for furnishing
a large and highly remunerative bus
mess.
The Directors have called a meeting
of the stockholders of the company,
to be held at Evansville, on the 22nd
of the present month, and it is hoped,
and expected that all who feel inter-
ested in the success of the enterprise,
and can possibly do so, will visit
Evansville on that day.

News: ''OuU Ripley merchants.
Judging from the quantity Of seed thev
have sold, estimate that the oat and
grass crop of this county will be fully
four times rs great as it has been any
previous season for ten years. We V
many of our farmers are putting in
good crops of clover, and some are ex-
perimenting with millet. The guam
THY of wheat sown, we are gratified
to learn, is also largely in excess Of
the quantity usually sown. Taken al
together, the prospect for good grain
crop, is very encouraging indeed, and
while our farmers do not propose TO
abandon cotton altogether, they seem
determined to quit the senseless and
injurious practice of buying all of
their grain and forage. If we are not
greatly mistaken, the farmers of IIau-
derdale viii be better off after this
crop is made than they have been at
any time since the war.
GAINESVILLE Chronicle: An East
Tennessee Radical editvr has figured
up the result of the November cleo

Congress retained. We have not be-
fore seen such direct proof that the

the Radicals, and from it, we infer
that he and Maynard are doing the
'pipe-laying" for the next campaign.
The editor referred to, says that the
above results are to be brought about
by fusion of the John on men with
the Radicals, paying, as 4 considera-
ton, a liberal share of minor offices to
the johnson faction. Now, if said
faction can be bought so cheap by
Radical leaders, they are already so
near Radical that the distinction is
clearly without a difference. We be-
.ieye, however, from our personal
knowledge of johnson, that they will
lrop their leader-like "a hot potato
whenever they suspect him of such an
understanding with the Radical par

currency riddle, and exploited its birth with a
characteristic bemuddlement of misinitorma-
ton. The bill offered by the shutting sena-
tor. looks to taking the place of the pending
measure for the expansion OF the currency
and provides in a dlsjointed sort of fashion
for the diffusion of fifty millions to the
various sections of the country. This takes
into account the mounts now embaced In
the various sections and is intended as an
elastic method of filling up the points that
need currency the greatest and letting
the others alone. 1t is a thoroughly
characteristic piece of d-emagogueism illus
trates the methods by which charlatanism
not only gets, but keeps the high places

which this gentleman moves forward and
back, and the ease and rapidity with which
he changes front, upon every measure relat-
ing to the finance, endear him still further
to that rapidly dwindling portion OF his fell
low countrymen, who believe him the COM
ing man.

Illustrating his views, forgetting the new or
der of things, Mr.. Grassland not only diff
fered emphatically with Mr.. Beck on the
expediency ofthe pending franking measure,
but he further proceededto pummel Mr.. Beck
into an agreement with his notions. Before
the astonished members knew what the
wrathful Kentuckian was talking about, he
had rushed over 10 Beck's seat, and wit
his doubled fist to that gentleman's nose.
His personal address while il this exciting
position is said to ave been anything but
decorous, and theterms which applied to Mr..
Beck would, if true, make that gentlemana
member of the canine family. The other
member parted the two, and ended the
disgusting and disgraceful scene before blows
had been struck. A bloody collision was
afterwards prevented by the personal inter
cession of friends. Mr.. Beck seems to have
been blameless, and to have acted with
moderation and dignity. Little scenes OF
this sort remind the country of the old days
of southern a~scendancy, when the pistol and
the cane formed such a marked feature OF
Washington legislation?

A PHILLIPS DISCIPLE.

From the Terre Haute Express.J
The indianapolis Sentinel thinks tina
Wendell Phillips ~nancia views are entitled
to nc consideration, because Mr.. p. is "such
an eccentric in politics." His eccentricity is
comprised in the fact that he has always
been honest and courageous. that he has been
true under all circumstances to his highest
convictions, that his ideas have usually been
from ten to a hundred years better thar his
time, and that he has been the
bravest, ablest and faithfulest cham
pion of the oppressed that has lived
in this age. He was demo unced as
a lunatic and a criminal for his views on the
slavery question. but it is now the chiefest
glory of this nation that il made its road over
the route where Phillips "blazed" the way.
Wendell Phillips is the very foremost man
that this country has produced in the last
half century. He is not infallible, but every
opinion that he utters is entitled to more
consideration than the views of any other
man of his time.
THE Express is in error. The Sentinel
has uttered no opinion about Mr.. Phillips
views. BID. Sentinel

THEIR NrEETING-How THEY LOOKED AND

From an occasional oorrespoRden OF the s~entiuel.I
STAR CRY, PULASKI Co., IND., February
16.-The Changers of this county had a big
time in Winamac on Saturday last. Accor-
ding to previous notice. fully two hundred
met in the court house for the purpose of
organizing a council. Nine oranges were
represented officially, there being five others
not represented probably owing to the al
most impossible condition of the roads. The
council was organized by ~electing J. G..
Boyles, Master; ID. McAllister, Overseer; ID.
Light, Steward; @. w. Grant, Assistant
Steward; John NJ. Baker, of Pulaski, Re-
City, Corresponding Secretary; and G. w.
Nigh, Chaplain. The meeting was COM
posed of ONE of the best citizens OF the
county, and, Notwithstanding all were far
mers-genuine sons of toll, men who clear
the land, ditch the sloughs, sow the seed
and reap the giain-their intellectual ap-
p~earance would compare very favorably
with an equal number engaged in any other
pursuit. Harmony and good feeling pre-
vailed throughout, and many good, common
sense ideas were expressed by those
unaccustomed to making speeches. One
tact was very apparent, that the cause
in which they are engaged, causes them
TO think, to investigate and cave ideas of
their OWL, and if they do not succeed it will
not befo the want of a determined effort.
That you may know what they are aiming
at, In one direction, and that those who are
interested may take heed and govern
themselves accordingly" L will insert the
following preamble and resolutions, which
were adopted unanimously:
Whereas; some OF the leading manufac-
turers of plows and other agricultural nipple
ments, have entered into an agreement to
not sell to grangers for a lower price thar
that charged by their regular agents, there
fore
Resolved, by the Pulaski County Council
of the Patrons of Husbandry, that we will
not ~patronize any dealer or firm which
has entered into any such agree
ment, or who may hereafter identify them
selves with any such combinations against
our Legitimate rights and interests, and that
we will use all honorable meana to influence
the members of our order to purchase no
implement of any agent representing a firm
who will not deal directly with u.s."
OF it is hard to tell what will be the
final result of this movement, but one thing
is certain, in this county they have the bal
ance OF power. numerically speaking, and il
they see proper to exert their influence in
behalf of their own interests there is nc
reason why they will not succeed. They
are very earnest, and since they feel they are
right, they are sure to go ahead.

That admirably managed civil service of
which our Oliver was so pleased and proud
last summer will hardly please him so
much when he has read the report which
the secretary Of the treasury was com
PEELED, very reluctantly, to furnish last
week. 1t will be a surprise to more than
oliver, that little essay. Possibly General
Grant may lose faith in human nature
again, as he did when Admiral
Porter's famous epistle was exposed to the
world. Among the most marked items ex-
hibited in the fines and forfeitures in the
New York and Boston custom-houses, are
little nest eggs of this sort. For violations
of the revenue from March A, 1868, to No
vember 3, 1873, s4,2lO,S91. Where do you
suppose these millions went to? The trea-
sury? All, no. There was the great and
good Thomas Murphy. and the informers
and the .'committees,' which alb
sorbed something over half; the rest
leaking into the treasury by uncertain drib-
lets? The figures given as the collectors
share of this spoil, are S4O7,2 45. Four years
in Office at that rate isn't 3 bad investment!
No wonder ''Tom Murphy" stuck to the
party in power. But the lions share of the
spoil is not SO far in excess of the
others. For instance, next to the COL
lector comes the naval officer with 1891 ,2l3
as perquisites. Next the surveyor Of
the port, sS24,O5s. To the others
less in rank, from deputies down to spies
and informers. nearly a million in all was
paid. These are the figures for New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, and all the large sea-
ports present the same figures proportion
ately. Yet in its wild search for a place to
economic, it never occurred to congress
that the customs perquisites would help fill
the treasury. They don't like TO make
the business too conspicuous, how
ever, as it might come to Mr.. Morton's ears
and arouse him from the sweet illusion of
the excellence and economy OF the present
civil service system. Regarding these
revenue eccentrieities, can there be any
doubt of the economy of Grants admins
tration?

A new organization of the grange order

which there seems to be asubtle i~nsinustion
