THAT $1,000.

There seems 10 be some misunderstanding
in this State in regard 10 the disposition
made OF the historic $1,000. THE TINES
some time ago asserted that the money was
divided between Legate, Horton, Martin,
Slower, and Francis Our exchanges asked
Us to prove that such were the facts, but
this We were unable to do. The Lawrence
!Ndndard, however, presumes to speak from
"undoubted authority" and says that the
money was divided as follows:

P0STMISTRESS.

The selection by our delegation OF Mrs.
Ellen E. Herrick as postmistress of High
land, Kansas, is highly creditable to their
judgment. Mrs. II. is the widow of the
late Col. T. P. Herrick, Of the Seventh Kan
sas, and is capable, meritorious lady,
fully deserving of the handsome recognition
she has received. Her appointment will
meet with the hearty approval of all.

THE AUSTIN AND BATTLE
ma UNTAIN RAILROAD.

A few days ago, upon information
furnished us by a gentlaman who had
been spending several weeks in Ans
tin, we published All article to the eff
feet that the people of that city had
about abandoned the hope of a rail-
road connecting with the Central Pa
ciic. We are glad to learn from the
| Reueille that the Austinites are still
hopeful, and that there is a probability
that the road will lie completed be-
fore the expiration of the three years
specified in the act. The ReveiLte says
of the chancas:s
1t is true that the most sanguine
among us had allowed their i'm
a~ginations to travel to the extent OF
believing that the work of grading
would be commenced Immediately at
ter the passage of the act granting the
subsidy. Our people have SO long
been accustomed to leave every un-
dertaking to the initiative of the Man
haitian Company that, in their indO-
lence, they comfortably expected to
see that corporation take hold OF this
road and build it just as it would a
reservoir or a set OF hosting works.
In this they find themselves mistaken,
and consequently disappointed. The
company is now engaged in the work
of developing its mines to a larger ex
tent than ever before. Moreover, it is
making preparations to erect very
costly concentrating works which,
when completed, will more than
double it's bullion production. For
the present, therefore, it has its hands
full and it does not propose to put too
many irons in the fire at one time.
But 1t does not fellow that it takes no
interest in the road; on the contrary it
will assist the enterprise to the extern
of its ability.
Our Eureka friend speaks of our
chances with the Central Pacific AS
''the most impalpable ghost Of pos
sibility." OF this we know nothing,
rs nc effort has yet been made in that
direction. Things have not yet pro-
crossed far enough for that. A sur
vey must be made and statistics gath
cred before approaching capital.
But we can assure our Eureka friends
that this will all be done before the
of the time specified in the
act. Nor would the refusal OF the
Central Pacific to take hold of the road
prove an extinguisher to our hopes.
Our people are awakening to the reali-
zatiOn of the fact that some exertion
their part besides the subsidy al
ready granted may be necessary, and
they are ready to make it if need he.
We do not wish to say any more on
point at present, as some schemes,
now IN course Of elaboration, have not
matured to warrant our
anything positively. But this
much we can say-that we firmly be-
lieve that the railroad will be in Aus
tin before the three years specified in
the act have expired.
