Correspondence.

To f. Dudenhefer President Ninth Ward Central
Democratic and Conservative Club:
Dear SRA question is now being agitated in
reference to the expediency of calling together
Democratic Convention in November next which,
without early ttlement, may cause some di ssat-
isactisn in ranks. In order to obviate any dis
sension in party to produce that unity so essen
tial to success in our combat against Radicasm, we
request YOU as the President of the Mother Club of
this Ward in whose patriotism judgment and dis
cretion we have unlimited confidence to convoke the
same as early practicable and to take this impor
tant question into immediate consideration.
Very respectfully,

would be greater in the same proportion.
This is the nearest suitable point where the
immigrant from Europe may find his way to
the Pacific States by rail, or go in search of a
home in the valley of the Mississippi.
By means of q road from New Orleans to
Marshall by way of Opelousas and Alexandria,
of less than half the length of the st. Louis,
Atlantic aud Pacific Road above described, we
could have a connection with the great trans
continental trunk line profitable to Texas, to
Arkansas to the entire Red River Valley and
to New Orleans, from the day Of its compile
ton, whether the Texas Pacific were extended
q mile east or west. or were to remain as it is.
Has not such branch road as good and as
equitable claim to government assistance as
that which is intended to enrich the monopol.
lists of st. LOUISE Can we not rightfully de-
mand from Congress the same
grant as that intended for the
benefit of st. Louis? Guaranteed interest on
the bonds of our branch to the extent of
$50, 600 per mile, would secure the compile
ton of it in q year and half or two years,
and thus add fifteen per cent to the value Of
all real estate in this city, and add enor-
mously to the value of landed property along
the line of the road to Q great distance on
either side.

In our last issue we mede some comments
upon tho recent unfair aud prejudiced allu-
sions Of Archbia}1op LYNCH, OF Toronto, to
"ungodly" New England, with reference to
It's alleged diminution Of population by rea-
aoa Of its lack Of godliness, and showed the
fallaoy Of his reasoning by applying It to
Franco. whose population, being Of tho good
Bishops own faith, practices prs-natal homi~
eide more than any other nation. We fur
ther showed that the prominent cauaa for the
decline OF population and the decrease In the
atze Of families In New England a. compared
with those OF century ago waa due mainly
TO tho faet that the women are less robuat
and hardy than their foremotAera, and take
less outdoor exercise. and illustrated tho
truth Of tho assertion by reference to the
same raco in England, where the families,
although wealthy aud refined. are very LARGE
because they live out Of doors, and taks
great deal OF physical ezezel*s. Thia fact
might bo stil, further illustrated by reference
to Germany. Tbs German families arc

4 year ngo tho New York commercial Jour-
nals were discussing the calses that favored
the tranxfor Of the jobbing trade to the lead

contration at Chicago. They confessed tho
fact n order to stimulate their merchants as
much as possible to make every e1ertion to
retain it. Aud now the Commercial Bulletin
has shown "from official statistics that bnnl,-

last five yonrs, while in the Western nnd
Southern Statcs banking operations havo
about doubled"
This increase of capital and Of the jobbing
trade in tie Western Statea, and especially iu
Chicago, has been foreshadowea, nnd, as far
as anything in tho future could be, was
proved in the columns of The TRIBUNE yeara
ago. It is but tho natural rosntt of the
values, vast in amount and steadily inereas-
ing, which the Northwest contributes to the
commerce OF the world. Carefuliy-prepared
statistics showed that the value of the ceroal
md animal products shipped eastward from
this city alone during the year 1873 waa ut

it increased To $40, 100000. The total
business Of the city for tho Inst year-mann-
factures and merchandise included-amounted
to SG39, 800, 900.

An apt illustration Of the defects Of the
views of tho 14th Inst. The case happened
In England, but more than one parallel for 1t
could be exhumed from tie Court records Of
tie United Statos. 4 lady was injured by an
accident on the Great Western Railway. 4
doctor, protesting to be authorized by the
Company, asked tho proprietor Of tho Kings
Arms Hotel, at Oxford, to care for tho auf-
ferer. aho was sick for some timo, and upon
recovery declined to pay the bill Of Gll7
presented TO ler. The hotel-keeper sued her
for that sum. The defense was that tho rail-
way company, not the defendant, was liable.
The Judge laid down the law, and
the jury withdrew. They ca.no In
presently with verdict for both the plaintiff
and defendant, This remarkable result WAS
reached by their announcement that tho
Great Western must pay the ELF. They
were reminded that the Company was not a
party to the suit, and sent back. Their be-
logged brains then produced the following
striking contribution to legal literature
"Yerdics tor the defendant the Great West
ern must pay her E100." This, Of course, was
rejected The next time they brought In
verdict Of cit for tho plaintiff. This the
Judge had to accept, though he expressed
bis opinion Of The stupid persistence with
which tho Jury clung to their belief that Tho
Great Western ought to be made To pay El0o

nor defendant. We invita- stupidity like this
