THE G. Il ST. l.. r. r. MACHINE
SHOPS.

We are not in condition to Judge Of
the extent or importance of the machine
shops of the Narrow-gauge railroad, which
seem, Just now, to be upon the market.
The newspapers of Sparta and Murphys
boro are urging the citizens of their respec-
tive localities to raise the required bonus,
and seure'the location of the shops, etc.
basins our estimate of the magnitude Of
these works upon the amount of rolling
stock on the road, We are not disposed to
invest them with much importance But,
If there is "a bargain in them" for Sparta
or Mtrphysboro, they would not prove less
valuable to Cairo. The Sparta Plaindealer
deals with the subject as follows.
The Cairo and st. Louis railroad com
pany contemplate removing their shops to
some other point along the line. Several
towB are making efforts to secure them, but
il Sparta will make tho proper effort she
will get the shops, as the company looks up
on Sparta as the most convenient point for
them along the line, But like all com
pants, a handsome consideration will in
duce them to pass by few natural advau-
tagesandplant their shops where it will best
pay, tor time at least
Tomake sure of the shops Sparta must
do something, and how would it do to offer
the company one million brick with which
to build them. If they are put up shed
fashion, the company, like the Arabs ca.
fold them up and silently steal away at any
time, Tut when built in substantial man
ner they will not be removed tor song.
To furnish this million brick our citizens
need not necessarily shell out the ready
cash, Let meeting be held, and let that
meeting appoint one or more superinteu-
dents to open yard and make the brick.
Let all OF our merchants subscribe literally,
the subscription payable in goods, and let
the superintendent issue orders on these
merchant to the amount of such subscription
to pay the laborers. Professional men and
mechanics, OF course, would have to pay
their subscription In money. BY this means
our idle laboring men would get employ,
ment, our business men could afford to
subscribe literally and easily pay it, and
the buick could be furnished at much
lower figure than they could be otherwise.
These shops bring dozens of families to
town, pay out about $4,000 a year for la.
Dor, &c, and employ dozens Of young me.
as apprentices. These shops are big ad.
vantage to a town, and are worth biz ef
fort to secure them, and Sparta should
make that effort, and make it right now
Let stme OF our enterprising business men
take nc matter in hand and "whoop her
up" veil promise to assist them ia every
way IA cur power. We want the railroad
machi,c shops, we need them, and lets
have them

WASHINGTON April 22.-The bill report
ed by Alexander Stephens, from the CON-
mittee on coinage, to provide for the ex-
change Of subsidiary silver coins for law
full money of the United States and for
other purposes, passed the house without
any material opposition, it being generally
regarded as much needed measure of re-
lief to retail tradesman.

DAVID DAVIS.
Much curiosity was manifested to hear
Senator David Davis to-day on the army bill
as it was matter of much speculation as to
how he would vote, although the Repubi-
cans have been claiming that he was with
them. His speech, however, clearly fore.
| Swallowed his purpose to vote for the amend
ments, and lands him squarely in the Dem.
ocratic camp. He said the election laws
as they now stand, were menace to the
liberties of the people, and their repeal
would not be regarded as a reflection or
the wisdom of Mr.. Lincoln, as the exigency
which made them necessary does not now
exist
DURING THE DEBATE

The Wisconsin legislature has evolved
new enterprise for money-spending, which
promises to be eminently successful. Some
people in the town of Edgewood thought
they would like State institution located
in their midst, and they therefore donated
few acres of ground to the State as site for
school for INDECENT boys. Having accept
ed the grant, worth, perhaps, four or five
hundred dollars, the State has become obli-
gated to erect building upon it at a cost of
$4,000 to 100000, and to maintain 1t at a
cost of $4,000 year. This is paying
pretty dearly for a penny whistle.

SINCE Logan and Carpenter, and few of
the old-time politicians have got back to

his retirement, and so he has evolved a
scheme to get back into Congress himself.
He proposes an act for passage at the pres

trict of Columbia a representative by dele
gate in the House. He is said to have
secured the support of several prominent
Democrats, but yet he is by no means Ger

ONE reason of the opposition of the Re-
publican papers to the arrears of pension
bill is found in the fact that under it's nroyis-
ions two millions of dollars will go to Ken
lucky, West Virginia and Tennessee
larger amount proportionately than will go
to any other section Of the country. That
even so small amount of cash should pass
from the treasury south of Mason & Dixon's
