complete the road, to May 5th,
1869 But the work afore-mention-
ed is all lhat was actually done prior
to The latter due. After the enter
prise failed Of vigorous and prompt
execution in its youth in 1857, as
we have seen, it fell into bad aud
irregular ways, a. generally hap
pens when the paths of innocence
and rectiude are once deserted.
The hands Of strangers AMI enemies
began to be uplifted against it in
wrong aud despite.
It was obvious to the Mississippi
and Lake Michigan railway project
ors, that a road Of l3S miles, not
costly Of construction aud equip
meat, not difficult to operate, and
reaching the nayigable lakes at Su-
per.or, could earn handsome profits,
and yet carry a ton Of freight many
dollars cheaper than it could be tax
en- from the st Croix region to
Milwaukee There was a stake
therefore Of millions annually on
,his point.
The interests. now represented by
the Northwestern and Milwaukee
roads, were at the period we men
ton, fully alive to the danger Of the
short route and have ever since
continued to meet It at all points o.
opposition, with their concentrated
and growing wealth and strength.
Nor less hostile the Lake Superior
& Mississippi or Du'u.h road--eI-
ways jealous and ungenerous neigh
Dor, ;uJoloraot Of any rival. What
the red flag and gad Of the matalor
are to myl bull, OF water to rabie
what John Brown was to Dixie,
such to ,he mind Of that corporation
ever has been the Superior 81 Saint
Croix route, Itmay be that latcriy
adversely has cut the L. s. & N.
to the quick, and excited some sense

in the jndirections, accidents and
cross purposes Of this road, we may
BE- thankful that the divergence IS
no worse. After the concern once

where it might aiIght.
Tne Chippewa Valley people went

Northwestern folks almost caught

for a general dissolution and rediss

might shed abroad It's sweet infu-
ence, in the form Of an exceeding
fine dew, all over the State-that is
to say, the lands were proposed to be

railroad right up to the door of

Horses Defense Against Pumas

A few years ago, a party OF trav-
.lcrs exploring Paraguay, whore
the plains abound in horses, ard
the forest in pumas and other wild
animals, saw mare with Il pair OF
twin colts, and stealing near them
were pair OF pumas, while at a
littlc distance were u heard OF
horses, which saw the pumas and
we're preparing for battle. The
stations came to the front, and the
mares went to the rear and wen; to
feeding, as it for a ruse. Soon a
shrill neigh came from the stallion
general, and IN NON, Mt the whole
troop charged down upon the pu-
mas, surrounded them, but left a
little space. out OF which the mare
and her colts slipped away and
reached the other mares. The pu-
mas then attacked the horses, but
they tnrned hccls aud struck them
right aEd left, keeping up a circu.
iaG movement, dealing heavy blows

The Issue.

Senator Gordon OF Georgia says !:
"There isan alarming tendency jus,
row to consolidate this govern
ment, to gather all the power at
Washington, TO lessen more and
more the liberties of the state and
make them dependencies upon the
great central powers. This must
be checked, aud that, promptly and
decislvcly, or the republic is lost,
l have a letter from Mr.. Vim NJ.
Evarts Of New York, one Of our
purest ard wisest men, IN which he
says: Il do not think that there
are one hundred men in this cou try
who realize how near we are to Il
complete cnange Ia the torn Of our
government.
Senator Gordon being rebel
oi course hls opinion Is ot small
weight with the 'uncouditionalIy
loyal portion oi the community;
but Is Mr.. Evarts IS u true blue
Republican his words ought to go
a good ways. That we are very
near to complete change in our
form OF government, is apparent
10 every Intelligent observer of the
political situation; and that if the
present or similar administration
continues four years longer this
change will be practically accom-
pllshed, is equally certain. The
approaching presidential campaign
will not merely decide whether
tins or that mao shall occupy the
executive chair, whether this or
that power snail hold the reins OF

GLOW are we TO account fes the
singular disappearance OF Arsan-
sas, as a disturbing element, from
our politics? For years that state
was the theater Of tumalt and up
roar, of ialsehood, fraud, blood and
crime. Its society was torn by the
dlssensions, its white and black
population arraycd against each
other, its high offices made stake
of disgracefal struggle, it's high
officers Often agents in shameful
conspiracles and fraud, and even
its courts manufacturers of partlsan
decisions. The state was a dis.
grace to It's people and u disturber
Of the country. But within the
last few weeks it has grown quiet;
It's name is rarely mentioned; 1t is
minding its own business and leav,
ing to mind ours; no wrangles
aud contests are heard of within
its borders, the names of its fac
tious chiefs no longer salute our
ears. In short, Arkansas Is at
peace"
The fact Of the business is that
the owners of the names OF those
factious chiefs alluded to, don't
stay around here anymore, and the
people Of Arkansas are taking care
Of themselves, and managing their
own affairs.
