Gen. M. M. Trumbull, of Dubuque,
who was an honored officer during
the late war, and sergeant in the
Mexican war, has been Collector Of
Internal Revenue at Dubuque since
the close Of the war. Capt. C. p.
Brown, Internal Revenue Agent of
this city, has recently been in Du-
buque experimenting the transfer of
that Office from the hands of Gen.
Trumbull, who has resigned to enter
the law practice, into the hands of his
successor, James E. Simpson, Esq.,, of
DEBORAH. Mr.. Simpson was several
years on duty as Revenue Agent of
this district under the direction of
Supervisor Hedrick and was we'll
known hereabouts and in Washing
ton as thorough, capable and hon
est official. He retains the office at
Dubuque. 1t is gratifying and no
more than was to be expected to
note in the Dubuque Times that Capt.
Browns critical analysis Of the &C.
counts showed that at the time Of the
transfer Gen. Trumbull was able to
account for and turn over the last
cent of the money collected for the
Cover nment, which during the in
cumbency Of his Office must have ag-
gregated many millions Of dollars.

A Blakesburg correspondent of the
Abba Era, writes as follows:

The probability of our getting a
railroad to this place, and running
through the south part of Monroe
Co., interesting the G. B. & q. line
of road at Russell, is a dessderatum
long wished for. The engineers have
been busy for the last two weeks run
ring and establishing grades between
here and Ottumwa. They report the
grade to be not over IS feet to the
mile, nearly one-half less than where
the road runs via Frederick. This
contemplated change when complet-
ed, will add greatly to the interest of
one of the most popular roads in the
country. 1t will then command q
large share of the carrying trade, that
has hitherto been controlled by the
Southwestern. As might be suppos-
ed, our citizens are jubilant to think
that we are not much longer to be
hemmed in with wagon roads impas.
sible with mud forty feet deep, that
we have good soil, with thrifty far
mers,will have . large surplus OF
products to be shipped of. In speak.
ing of this railroad extending it,
boundaries, it must necessarily take
in its range Moravia, and Iconium,
through q country unsurpassed for itt
fertility, and one that seemed to be
designed by the God of Nature for q
railroad track.

The Sigourney Nescs thinks "the Sc
lection of Gen. j. M. Hedrick as
president of the north and south rail-
road company was good one. The
Generals executive ability, confined
with his active, energetic nature,
were mustered into service at the
right time, and he being now practi-
cally out of business, can and doubt
less will be just the man to keep the
enterprise moving, if there is any
move in it."

The officials Of the st. L., X. & N.

to those charged with that duty.
The situation of affairs in the mat

follows: The negotiations which
the c., r. /. & P. were conducting are

it is not impossible that terms may
yet be agreed upon. The present ne

are interested in that road. The X.
& D. M. people have made PROPOSE
ton to them upon the basis Of for
ty-five years lease, which, if consum-
mated, will practically amount to q
sale. The two roads would be virtu-
ally consolidated and operated as one
line under one management. The
shops of the two companies would be
consolidated and retained here, and
this would continue to be the head
quarters of the two roads.
