prepared to mako any promises as
to their work In this section at pres
ent, but the outlook Is favorable,
and our people have every reason
to be hopeful. The region is too
extensive, tho country too thickly
populated and fertile to remain
much longer without railroad COM
municauon. The prospects are
good for railroad from Springfield
to this place, in which case the Eu-
reka road will probably not be built
but it is the intention Of that com
pauy to reach here IN short time
ii no other road does. The survey
ing party is now on Long Greek
and will complete the survey to
this place as soon as possible, when
they will BIO recalled and, If the
cost of construction does not prove
too great, locating will be common
ced at once. Any information or
data which could be given to ChIoi
Engineer McDaniels, who is in
charge OF the Corps at Long Creek,
would be appreciated by the com
pany.
Remarks were then nude by
Moasrs. Crump, Crandall, Hudgins,
and Hopper, who gave their various
opinions upon the advantages of the
line and set forth the many induce.
ments whleh our country could offer.
A committee, consisting of Messrs.
Flick, Hopper, Baker, Crump, Had
gins, Phillips, Crandall and West,
was then appointed for the purpose
OF comforting with Chiof-Engineer
McDanlels and giving him such as.
sistance as is in their power.
The meeting was closed by STIR
ring speech from the Chairman,
Judge Patterson, who tersely set
forth the natural and inevitable
course of the railroad, and the
grand future which undoubte dly
awaits our section.

New York, Feb. 1.-The Public says
of the exchanges for the last week OF
January are rather more favorable than
those of the previous weeks this year.
1t is true. the decline at Boston is
larger than it was for the proceeding
week, and at Baltimore, the so called
settlement of railroad war has not as
yet produced any improvement. But
exchanges at every other city are larger
than those Of the corresponding week
last year, and at nearly every other city
the increase is greater than the advance
In prices, so that the volume of business
measured in quantities exchanged, was
greater. 1t is not unusual nor signi6-
cant, that payments in the fourth
quarter Of the month r much less
than in the third. Manufacturing
cities generally make good reports, as
usual. 1t must be remembered, how.
ever, that the last week of January 'S1,
was one of unusual interruption by
storms, and business here was espe-
cially affected by the breaking of tele'
graph wires and the stoppage Of rail.

New York, Feb. 1.-The Posts
Washington special says: Referring to
the report that Scoville had consented
to sell Guiteau's body to a Philadelphia
SPECTATOR for the purposes Of exhi-
bition, he says that he received a letter
from a man some time ago making him
an offer, and he replied briefly that he
would take it into consideration. 1t is
the only letter Of the kind that he has
aver answered; 1t would be a matter,
he says, which would be for Guiteau
and his immediate relatives to decide.
He thought they were disposed to con-
slider it favorably. AS for himself he
should recommend in case the offer wa
accepted, that so much of the proceeds
as might be necessary, should be ap-
piled to satisfy Guiteau's debts, and any
surplus be donated to some asylum for
the insane. Scoville said he had not
given up all hope of getting the verdict
set aside, but recognizes that the
chance is small. He will insist On a
post-mortem examination Of the brain,
and is confident that it will disclose dis
ease.
The question is raised As to the right
of relatives to have and dispose of the
remains of a person executed in the cir
cumstances like those Of Guiteau.
Booths body was not surrendered to
his relatives for several years, and then
only by a special order of the wal de-
