IF 1T BE TRUE,

Intelligence has been received here
that fills the souls Of all of the
friends of the G.. C.. G. & C. r. r. with
JOY. IT seems now very probable that
the road will be built, and with dis
patch. How joyful this must be to those
who through good, and through evil re-
port have stood by the fortunes Of the
enterprise. Rarely has there been in
the midst of US such an acrimonious
contest as was had along the line in Alb.
beville County when subscriptions were
being voted to the road. Our people
will not soon forget it. And it cannot
hut be pleasant to those who stood the
heat and burden of that fight to sec
again the hope revive that their labors
will net be without their reward.

more pointed because numerous intima-

the spirit and design Of the town of Alb

was irritating enough of itself. and

Friday, May %, 1856.

The senate amendment to the post
Office appropriation bill, directing the
postmaster general to pay out sub
sidy of 100000 to American steam
ship lines, was rejected by the house,
on Thursday, by vote of more than
two to one; being 80 in favor Of grant
ing the subsidy, and l78 against.
Only six democrats voted in favor Of
the subsidy, while twenty-eight re-
publicans voted against it. Among
the IS republicans who opposed it
were Guenther, I.aFollette aud Thomas
of Wisconsin. The result of this vote
in the house is most gratifying to all
who would have conscientious pubic
officer sustained in the faithful dis
charge of his duty. Mr.. Villas dared
to act with due regard for public in
tercsts, and Withheld from the greedy
steamship combination the sum which
the last congress authorized him to
disburse, if in his judgment, the ser
wee required it, In his Judgment, the
service did not require it, and he acted
accordingly despite the threatening
buster of the representatives OF the
combination. When the steamship
owners discovered that they could not
intimidate the postmaster general into
acccding to their demands, they set
about digging his political grave, and
making him a warning to all future
postmaster generals, against running
counter to their wishes. They first
prepared a brief, and paid for its pub
LEGATION in The New York sun, and
other advertising mediums. They did
everything in their power to belittle
ieyc that he was over otlicious. 1t was
claimed that his failure to disburse the
subsidy was an insult To congress, ana
that congress would resent the insult
by again granting the subsidy, with a
mandatory provision leaving the post
master general no discretion in the
matter. How i'll founded was this
claim can be seen by the recent action
uf congress The poStotlicc appropri-
alton bill was passed 10y the house
without the subsidy clause, and when
the bill was returned to the house by
the senate with the susbidy amend
ment, motion to non-concm was
carried by more than two-thirds vote
This vote is the strongest kind of an
endorsement for Col. Villas: and be
sides il reflects Il growing sentiment
in opposition to the pernicious policy
Of granting subsidies. The subsidy
seekers have been given a set back, SO
far at least rs the present congress is
concerned.

1t is a hard and tedious task which

1t is hard and tedious task which
the tariff reformers have before them,
that of crarying through congress bin
reducing tariff taxes, but it will be
accomplished before they'give up the
fight. The New York star says:
There is said to be a good deal of
dissatisfaction in Washington because
the House of Representatives has re-
fused to set apart day for the con-
sideration of the bill making an
appropriation for the new naval YES
sells. and that another effort viii be
made during the present week to
secure a day for the consideration Of
the measure. This refusal Of the
House of Representatives does not
imply opposition to a new navy. or to
liberal appropriations for it. 1t does
mean, however, that the revenue re-
form Democrats will not consent to
the passage of any bill involving large
expenditures until some action shall be
taken on the Morrison Tariff bill.
The East might as well make up its
mind to the fact that nothing Will be
done for it until the west shall be
relieved of some of the burdens OF

The Lancaster Teller submits the
following knotty problem to confiding
readers of partisan republican news
papers: 1t is said that up to the 10th
of this month 2,l56 presidential APP
pointments have been made by Cleve-
land and acted on by the senate. So
much has been seen in the papers
about the thieves, murderers, fOrgers,
and convicts generally, appointed by
the present administration, that it
might have been expected that from
one-third to One-half of these would
fail to be confirmed by the senate,
especially as the senate has a Republi-
can majority. It seems however, that
all were confirmed but six! 1t surely
cannot be that the newspapers have
been lying about the men appointed,
and slandering them. Yet if they
have not, are appointments that come
under the above classes the kind to
suit our Republican senate? The prob
lem needs solution.

Chicago, Burlington & Northern Rail
road Company have plated town to
be located in the western part of
Bloomington Township, Grant County,
now known as the Cincinnati Bottoms,
covering Il tract of several miles.
which they have recently purchased.
Surveyors have located two side tracks
there, each $500 feet in length, and
will begin surveying the new town as
soon as titles are perfected. The new
town location is very desirable one,
and it is believed in time will develop
into the metropolis of the country.
