The City Of Jackson Has

road ou the tra'o, and the princ'pal business transacted there, about these days, is the holding of railroad meetings and voting lians to aid in the construction of this, that or the nther railroad. But Jackson does something besides talk ; it acts, and the fruits of it8 energy are be ing seen. Fifteen miles of the railroad to Ltinsing are already conipleted, and the Capital city will be reached probably by Christmas. The Grand ltiver Val ley Railroad is well under way, and in a few days JacksoD County is to vote on the propositioo to loan it credit largely to the enterprise, and the oily vvords of Jaekson men will, we prerume, succeed in making the country towns believe that their interests are identical with those of the city, and the loan will be voted. And Jackson has another railroad in view, not a side-cut, but a main line, no less than the proposed extensión of the Grand Tiunk from Port Hurón lo Chicago, crossing the Central at that city, and mauiog it the railroad center of the State. In aid of this work large promises are made, both by the city and county. In the meantinae, what are our citizens doing to secure additional railroad connections and accommodations ? We cannot eee that the promised preliminary eurvey of the proposed Toledo, Ann Arbor, and Holly Kailroad is being made, or that any thing is being done towards perfecting the organization of a company. This route is one of the most feasdble now under consideration in the State, but the citizens along it are sitting still and sinning away the day of grace. As an inducement to immediate aotion, wesee it stated in a Tilodo. paper that $12,000,000 have been pledged to construct a railroad from Mackinaw south, to connect with some road to Cincinnati. The Toledo people wish the connection made at that city. Now Ann Arbor is on a direct line between and Mackinaw, and if our citizens sbould wake np their tnterests before ii is too late, and ge-t the Toledo, AnnArbor andHolly companyorganized, and its road can be made a link in the main chaïn. Who will move in the ' matter ? CP The Board of Supervisors gnt I " snarled up " on Satnrday last, and, unable to unravol tho knot, adjourned to Tuesday, January 2d, 1866. The hitch occurred in attempting to divide the Couoty into Representativo dtetrictB. - Two f)lans had been reported from tbe committoe without recornmendation of either. One, however, seeraed to be the favorito of the Republican mcmbers, add the other of the Demócrata. The Republicans having a majority, of course expected to have their own way, and eo left the matter to come up at the very heel oí the sesaioo. When it came up, two Republican members " couldn't see it " in the light oí their associates, and so voted with the Demócrata ; but a major ity of all tbe members elect was necessary to accomplish anything, and one Democrat was absent, henoe the hitoh. Politically, it made not a vast deal of diflerence, and so good humor was preserved. F All during the war, nn officer known to sympnthiza with the Demo crats was sure to have all the radical Trays, Blanchee, and Sweethearts barking at his heels. And now that a peaoe haa been conquered, the vilest epithets are applied to any gallant soldier, officer or privato, who casta his lot with the Democratie party. In New York, Gen. Slocum, one of the truest and bravest of Gen. Sheuman's subordinates, ventured to decline a Republican nomination and accept one from the Demócrata, conditioned on the endorsoment of the Presi dent's reconstruction policy, and for so doing he is called a " cotton thief," and Lhis when not a stain rests upon his fair fame. Wo trust that on Tuesday nest bis libellers will be rebuked in a inanner they will undorstand. Id Our readers will remember that just before the State election, held in Tennessee in thesummer, Emerson Ethkiudge, then a candidato for Oongress, was arrested by military authoriy, aud his political campaign prnmaturely closed. He has recently been tried by a military commission, at Columbus, Ky., and acquitted. To do him full justice, a new election ought to be ordered, as his opponent, no doubt, obtained a "snap judgment " becau.je of Etheuidqe's arrest. His case smocks a little of the arrest of 0 1. Nortii and other New York Demócrata just before the Presidential election. L3L Judge Dun io, of the New York Courl of Appeala, has decided, al! the other judges coucurring, that shares of the National Banks are taxable to tho owners aud holdersas personal property.
