Greenyi3Ie and ErcNch Broad
Rail Road.

The Daily Greenville Ns1cS says
"At a meeting Of the City Council
held for the purpose Of considering
the interests Of Greenvilc in the above
road: after mature deliberation on the
advantages and benefits to be derived
from railway communication with
Western North Carolina, they resoly-
ed to subscribe the sum of twenty-five
thousand dollars in bonds, as the city
subscription towards the great enter
prise, in addition to Il county subscrip-
siou, to be paid when the work shall
be commenced from Greenville TO-
wards Asheville, and as the work pro-
crosses. This speaks we'll for our city
fathers, and shows they are alive to
the welfare Of the people whose inte-
rests they represent"

The Ea,,rcnS Rail Road.

1t was confidently hoped that active
operations would Soou commence en-
the above named road, but the appeal
taken from Judge Bryan's action,
which confirmed the report of the
assignee, Maj. J. NJ. Baxter, III regard
to selling the road at private sale,
seriously iuterferes with it. The i'm
portsnt condition Of the sale was, that
the road should be built by the 18th
Of November. The Herald says:
''Ic may be that some arrangement
can be effected by which work on the
road will be commenced soon and
pushed speedily to completion. though
at present matters look little gloomy;
still we are yet hopeful, and believe
that the present project to rcbuild
the road will be successful. We are
are unwilling to believe that the men
who took the enterprise in hand will
allow it to fall through now, when ar
rangc'nents for the purchase of the
road are 50 nearly perfected. Let us
keep trying-ncver give it up.

Fortunate Chicago.

1t appears that though the late fire
in Chicago was quite destructive and
the loss severe, yet it is eratifyingly
ascertaincd that no help is needed
from abroad, for when it was an.
nounced that 'proceedings had begun
in Boston towards raising another re-
lief fund, information was sent from
Chicago that there was no Immediate
need, although the fire had left a good
many people destitute. There yet re-
mains IL the hands of the Relief and
Aid Society nearly 100000 of the
former fund, and this is believed to be
ample for the emergency. Chicago
is, at any rate, 10th to accept charity
from elsewhere on this occasion. As
no factories of any size were burned,
there is no deprivation of employment,
and the demand for labor will practi-
cally be increased by the fire. The
applications for relief ou the day after
the fire numbered but fifty. The sea-
son Of the year is so favorable, that it
is believed the distress which this
may occasion will be only
short-liyed.

Grant in Favor ofAershaw.

We copy from the Louisville Cou-
ricr.Journ0lS correspondent as follows:
while in South Carolina, it was
told to NE by leading Democrats, who
said they knew it to be a fact, that
Gen. Grant was in favor Of Gen. ker-
shaw for the next Governor Of that
State. He had sent a verbal message to
them to that effect, and wanted them to
put him in nomination, intimating
that be would see to it there would be
Il fair election. It is known that the
distinguished General and the Presi-
dent ;rc warll personal friends, and it
is nnw also well known that President
Grant is at l">i weary and disguStcd
with the misrulc of Noses and his
Radica! followers. Had it not beer;
far the umturtunate aliusiun to Mrs.
Grant and the Black Friday by Gen.
Gary, in the Taxrayers' Convention,
he would have lifted the iron hand
from the State months ago; but he
has HOW gotten over his foolish anger
about that matter, and, like every.
body else, sees that the Radical party
Of South Carolina i" disgrace to our
common country"

BUTLER'S JOKES NEW

Col. G. c. Fulton writing from New
Orleans to the Baltimore American saws:
General Butler has left engraven in
enduring granite several pungent Jokes
ne perpetrated whilst in command of
this city. One of these is OF the base
OF the equestrian bronze statue of Gen.
jackson. One morning when the curses
Of the people were loudest and deepest,
stone cutter. guarded by a file of SOL
dlers, was observed in jackson square
commencing work with his chisel. No
one knew in what way he would desecrate
the monument of the hero of New Or
leans, and each letter was watched as
1t appeared on the base until that decla-
ration which made him famous. THE
Union must and shall be preserved
was spelled out by the indignant people.
a short time aiterward the same work
man, similarly guarded, approached the
bronze monument to Henry Clay. one
Canal street, and soon was cut deep and
distinct in the granite block, Immediate
~ under the foot of the statue, the fol-
lowing extract from one of the greatest
speeches of the distinguished kentucky
statesman; "If l could be instrumental
IN graduating this deep stain-slavery
from the character of our country, I
would not exchange the proud satisfac-
ton which [ should enjoy for all the
trlumphs ever achieved by the most sue
cessful conqueror." Little did those
who erected those monuments ever ex-
pect to see such inscriptions upon them.
but although they CRASHED their teeth
at the time, they now regard the inscrip-
tons as not altogether out of place. in
view of the changes that have been
wrought BY fraternal war. The people
have got used to them, and now laugh
