Three of the persons who have been elected Vice President have been elevated (by election) to the Presidency, viz John Adaxs, Jefferson and Van Bdren. Kallxoad i front Lake Superior to the dolt of The Chicago railroad king, Wm. B. Ooden, writes to the" Janesviile Free Press, thus A railroad from Lake Superior by way of Fond du Lac, Watertown, Janesville, Lioloit, Rocki'ord, Byron, Oregon City, Daysviile and Dixon, and thence via the Illinois Central and Mobile and Ohio Railroads, to Mobile and New Orleans, is wliat 1 am alter, and such an unbroken line of railroads from the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Superior, over 1000 miles long, and of the same guage from end to end, is much nearer completion than most people dream of. By New! Year's day about 800 miles of the two roads i'tom Mobile and from New Orleans to Cairo, will be completed, and 150 miles more, or thereabouts, all of which is advanced in grading, will complete the line, from the Gulf of Mexico to Cairo, apd Via the Illinois Central to Dixon and Dubuque.

A great North and South Mississippi Valley Railway, frcm Mobile, and New Orleans to Lake Superior, such as this line "is soon to be need not run so fast or be so straight as an east and west road, but should be built with more reference to the accommodation of the very great local traf-fio to be done upon it. Within eighteen months a continuous line of road from both Mobile and New Orleans will, in all probability, be completed via Cairo to Dixon, and in less time than that, the Chicago, St. Taul and Fond du Lac Railroad will be completed from Janesville via Fort Atchison, Jefferson and Watertown to Fond du Lac to Qshkosh, probably to Neenah, Menasha and Appleton, its way to Lake Superior, provided the liberal and proper aid necessary and exp ct-ed from the people and towns along the line shall be granted and next week the entire line from Janesville north is to be thoroughly canvassed for aid in he way of subscription. All that will then remain to be done, will be to complete the link between Janesville and Dixon, and you have before you a road from the Gulf of Mexico, to Oshkosh or Appleton, and within a hundred and fifty miles of Lake Superior. 15o much of the road once completed, the very fact will enforpe its extension through the valuable mineral region beyond to Ontonagon, on Lake Superior, iji ultimate destination.

Reniemtor this i3 the talk of a- man who means what he says, and expects to keep his word good. Think of "Two days ride from the ever chilly waters of Lake Superior to the ever tepid waters of the Gulf. XJie Rat Story Verified. The extraordinary rumor published in the Tri bune on Saturday last of the poisoning of Mr. Buchanan, Mr.

J. Glanoy Jones and others at Washington, a few days since, has boen verified. The Lancaster Express says that Mr. Buchanan had a narrjow escape from the occurrence. The following additional particulars are from the Express "About the time Mr.

Buchanan returned from his late viit to Washinglon we heard whispers of a singular and mysterious nature iu regard to his ilhuess and sudden return home. In prosecuting our inquiries we ascertained that Mr. Humes Porter, pf this city, came home from Washington wh Mrt Buchanan, also sick, and was obliged to take his! bed, where he has been ever since. "At Jibe same time we were satisfied of the truth of the statements, but as extraordinary efforts webe made here well as at Washington to keep the matter hushed up, we yielded to the solicitation Of friend3 and withheld the facts in our possession. As they are now coming out through other channels it is due to our readers to give them a history of this extraordinary case of a narrow escape from wholesale poisoning.

Twenty or thirty of the guests were suddenly, and some of them severely affected from the uso of tho; water impregnated with the poison. Mr. Buchanan left suddenly for Wheatland, where ha arrive suffering severely from diarrhea. He was, however, less severely affected than the others, and in a short time recovered sufficiently to receive visitors, but the fatigue incident to entertaining two or three hundred persons made it absolutely necessary for him to husband his strength by refusing to see any but his most intimate personal friends a rule which was rigidly observed up to the hour of his departure this morning. Dr.

J. Glancy Jones, of Berks, was more severely affected, and has been lying in a critical condition ever since and a doubt about bis recovery has left his appointment to a plaee in the Cabinet ah open question up to the present time. "Among the others most severely affected was the John L. Dawson audit has been rumored that ho has since died. The report, however, needs confirmation.

Porter of this city was also severely affected ahd though confined to his room ever since, we believe he is out of danger." Preaching." The presses of the Administration have ren dered themselves' hoarse with their cries against political preaching," and none have been more loud than the Union. That delectable printnQW indulges the following paragraph with a7 gusto rarely equalled. The performance throughout is worthy oj note THK PRESIDENT'S LAST SABBATH IN WASHINGTON. President Pierce has, during the term of office, been: a regular attendant at the Four and a-hilf street Presbyterian Church. Last Sabbath was a remarkably fine day.

The crowd in the city attended church with our citizens. The Four and-a half street church was verv much crowded jj all the pews in the church were filled at an early hour, except the One occupied bv the President He came in as the service began. the Kev. Mr. bunderland, the pastor, in the eourse of his sermon, took occasion to address the President, He alluded to the great dignity to which he had been called as President ef this great nation of the success of his- Administra tion, of the cessation of popular clamor, and of ic pTospertiy oj in nation oj wntcn tie iad been the head; and alluding, feelingly, with tears, to the sorrow of that church and the people at at the departure of the President from among us.

Chicago; March 4. 1887.

John Wentwerth was yesterday elected Mayor of this place by eleven hundred majority. The whole oft the Republican ticket was elected by large majority. was considerable fighting in the Tenth Ward, and two men were killed. Geo. Armour of the firm of Munger Armour, who was injured in the fight in the Seventh Ward yesterday, died this morning, i The messenger of the Marine Bank of this eity, while settling a balance at the Exchange Bank yesterday, was robbed of a bag containing six thousand dollars.

No clue to the robber has been djscoTered. 1 Thoe. Meredith of Cass oonnry, Iowa, says farm laborers are greatly wanted there at 20 per month and board. Some paid 26 las slimmer, and he paid fl SO a day for men to husk corn, which gella now for $1 25 a bushel. Grain nulla are wanted.

Mr.M.saya: "lloaej invested in a flour-miH by some rood go-bead Yankee would pay cent for cent. Corn crop were not good in this part last summer.o wing to the suture of tne first planting, which threw the second too late; the early frosts spoiled a great part of the crop, but if help can be had at any price, greater efforts will be made next season to raise sufficient for the country and for lhe demand made npon it by the heavv emigration westward. A team of fire yoke can average two acres breaking a day. Corn planted tinder the sed from the middle of May to the middle of June will generally yield 25 bushels per acre, sometimes much more, and occasionally only valuable for feeding to stock late in the Fall." A Row Almost The Obgan Squatter Sov ereignty. The Tribune's correspondent details ai follows: Serious disturbances ia the whole political pro gramme nearly occurredjast night.

It had been arranged that Mr. Appleton would take charge of me Linton to aay, ana nis salutatory, with the valedictory of Mr. Nicholson, would appear this morning. Last night Mr. Buchanan's views to be promulgated in the Inaugural, concerning the rights oi the people in the Territories on the Slavery question, becoming known, Mr.

Appleton was discovered as differing from the sentiments of the Cincinnati platform, and hence no formal announcement of change in the organ was made as anticipated. Gen. Cass took exception to the intended an nouncement as differing entirely from his Squtter sovereignty, ana threatened to throw un his place in the Cabinet unless a change was made. This ana tne Cabinet complication have exercised Mr: Buchanan greatly, and foreshadow more serious troubles. The Inaugural ia not satisfactory except to ex tremists.

Its squinting at filibustering is unmis-takeable, which will do much to excite apprehensions as to our foreign relations, taken in connec tion witn ben. Casa appointment. Emigration to the West. Ohio, like New York and Pennsylvania, is now suffering under the Western fever. Great numbers have already begun their migration to the West chiefly to Nebraska, Kansas and Minnesota.

There is something inviting in the adventures of a removal to the West of struggles with the forest and the prairie, wh the growth of a new society, and with a family striving to rise to the surface ef the rising waves. But, notwithstanding these attrac tions, there is a much greater one in land specu lations. Lands are as much a matter of trade as dry goods or horses; when an Ohio farmer can sell one acre and buy ten with it, he will risk the inconveniences and hardships ot the frontier to accomplish this speculation. Notwithstanding all this, Ohio is still rapidly increasing in population, strength and resources. Her cities and towns.

especially, are growing with great rapidity. Cin cinnati uazette. $ST The Greatest Discovert ot the Age.

I also filled six cars of cattle at Cleveland last night.

I wanted to come on tne Passenger train to Buffalo to make arrange ments to ship on to Mew York on Friday morning. The Uonductor passed me from uitveland to Erie on my Freight Pass. When the Conddctor from Erie to Buffalo eal el for my tick ft, I presented the one I had, and he aid it wasjiot good on this train. I told him that -the Conductor on the ilere'and and Erie Division had passed me.

lie said as could not help that. 1 must ei her pay or he would put me off the ear. I told him could do so, that I would not pay. When be got ta the next station he put his hand on my sho llder, and to dine to get off. I got off, bat being about o'clock at night and quite cold.

and at a little, one-hors town, in tbe woods, between Eri and Dunkirk, when tbe cars started I eeald net tbiak of being left there at that boor of the night, I lamped on the cars and paid my far. The Conductor said that was his orders. I lay no fault on him. 1 expect to shin as maaycatUe the next eight months as I have tbe last eight. Neither do I care about the rare, $3 5.

JUSTICE OF THE Ia the office formerly occupied by H.

B. Bear, Esq lal av, lAaMwa at, BUFFALO, SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1657. Equalization ot Toll. V- A pjrson unobservant of the times would ima-; in that a city so directly benefitted by the Erie (Janil as the city of New-York, Would be the last to opposo a measure which tends to increase the venues of the canal. We do not understand that the people of that city or a majority of them pjiose the equalization bill, but in or two of f1' he papers, consider their position mis tt'ated if he did not call them leading and inflaen-lal journals, the measure is opposed with much flippant remark and apparent zeal.

Instead of his wise sliak-ng of the bead, we wish for an that shall overthrow the logic of the advocates of this measure We are not at all alarm- by Hie belligerent attitude of these journale, und shall, with all respect to their metropolitan j'Ogition, and their assumed, superiority over ua 2 oor rustics, as they pleasantly call lis, venture say that nothing has said by them yet, and we do not imjgiue that anything will or can In; said by them hereafter, that will throw a i-traw'a bulk in the way of the success of the it' the State Legislature has determined to do its duty. New-York once had a predomi-iiMtinir influence iu the State, but that influent 5t has not now, and never will have sgain. Its jhcn and its papers are estimated at their real worth, their intrinsic- value, ana the presumption, instead of being in favor of anything coming Jrom that. city is against it. We take New York assertions and Now York plans, with many grains of allowanco, when advocated by certain of their urcala.

Certainly we regret to see that any urnal in that city should oppose a measure of 5 1 jch justice and such benefit to the State, but it by no nicous.aii unfavorable sign of the justice iintl policy of the measure, that this opposition (lines from interested quarter. The adjectives absurd," "preposterous," "unjust," are all Ftrong a ijrciivea, but not arguments, and nothing limn these parts of speech has yet ap-7 tared in the columns of the New York papers, ho assume to give reasons against 'the equaliza-j on of tolls. We incline to think that this lii.d of talk is properly appreciated by the people ir. whom it is addressed. At aft events no public i.trasare is to be despaired of, because certain uvt York journals are found in opposition to its juisage.

iswego'is the commercial rival of Buf-I and hence the Slate 1 reaaury must be Impoverished i ml thi laxeil heavily lest that city might suffer by ii-crimiiiaiioii. It is an ad-nt-wion on the part of Oswego, tii.it wnlntit trie opportunity of robbir.g the Canal reveries, it would sink into decay and go to ruin. Buffalo The graceless impudence which charges the jx-ople of Oswego wiih "robbing the Canal reve-i ues," is charaetei istie of Buffalo. Oswego paid 1 -t vein- upwards of 400,000 in tolls on the t-jwego canal, which outside of Buffalo, is sup- used to be a State "institution," entitled to all Lie rights, privileges and immunities of any other airil. Oswego sent all her receipts by Lake.

iiougn me canaia to the Hudson. On the con-t ai liuil'alo is ''robbing the canal revenues" by s.iippiug her pioduco by flie Railroads. Let Buf 1 lo deny these facts if it can. We have the to prove whereof we affirm. Oswego tnea We are disposed to allow the Timet cart Intnc for aVmsing Buffalo and the Express.

It is nhappy it is expected to defend" a bad cause --it few and less patience, and ncnce it must tight or spile." We advise it to fiitch in," for, whom the gods would ey first make mad We trust that the limes vdl use all the arguments and figures within its i.ich to sustain its position. If that print and the people of Oswego are right, wa are clearly roug and on the other hand, if discrimination 5s right they arc all wrorg. Now, if we are in i tor on this question we desire to be convinced "I it, for wo never were better satisfied of the justice oi a cause that we espoused than we are this instance. If discrimination is to damage )sr, ego that is a pity, but its sufferings afford no giinieiit against the adoption of a policy on the art of the Statu which will secure its revenues ia their rights. The great difficulty in all this 5.

miter is that the people of Oswego counfound ihemselves with the State and in their selfiishnesi he, seem to fancy that the State government the finances are instituted only for their pe- uliar advantage. They do not appear to enjoy a ingo of vision that can reach beyond the limits i( their own nourishing town, in considering the ecesnfliee, responsibilities and duties of the State, until this short sight edness can be reached imd cured we have but little hope of a change in I.eir habit of thought or course of conduct. The Time charges us with "graceless impu--ih-nuc," beeanse we insist that Oswego is robbing -i he dual revenues of their just receipts. Let us look at the Auditor's report on this subject, and two what the figures say on that patntp-' That Hicer lias collected and arranged in tabular form valuable statistics touching this question, and we lefor to them for a full justification of all we have aid or shall say in favor of "discrimination" and i gaiusttho present system of wrong that is practised" upon the Canal revenues. The Auditor rays The increase of tolls which would have been on the shipments by the way of Os -w ego, had all such property passed through the whole Im of the Erie Canal, would have been 1,177,757 during the last five years, and an siverage of $235,651 40 each year.

So it appears that the State Treasury has been jobbed of $1,177,757 during the last five years, which have gone to build up the business of Oswe-J o. If this sum was now in the Treasury, it would i respectively relieve' the people of so much taxa-on. We trust now that our Oswego cotem-p rary will trausfer the charge of "gr aoeless im-Ijulence" from our head to that ot the State -Auditor, who has spread before the State the evidence of the truth of all we have declared in his behalf, and established beyond a question me justice of discrimination. Tile Right of Snfl-rage. A resolution to amend the Constitution so as allow colored men to vote without property ualifieation, engaged the attention of the Senate on Wednesday.

Mobe Legislative ConRUPTioii. In the Pennsylvania Legislature last week, considerable ex citement was produced by a disclosure made by the Speaker, who stated that three private bills had boon objected to, (single objection throws u. private bill off the calendar,) which were of i to bis constituents; that a friend of his who was interested in their passage, was by a reporter, and told that if he would pay $300; ho (the reporter) would have the objections removed, at the same time stating that tue objections were made by his friends, who would withdraw them at his request. The gen- eman refused to pay the mm demanded, and i iscloscd the matter to the A eommit-ee was appointed to investigate the matter. Tue Burdkll Will Cask Tuesday wag o0.

It is suggested that he may be able to explain to the Legislatutje tie whereabouts of the 5000 tax payers who tave petitioned for thjB repeal of the charter of said institution. Discrimination of canal tolls has cause-1 a great fluttering among those who have, long enjoyed the benefits of the diversion of trade by the way of OiWego, and the consequent diminution of the revenue of the State Speaker Liitli-j0H-is the leader of this class, ana some ef his own friendsTisve been surprised that be should far forget the dignity of the office to which he has been elevated by the suffrages of the taxpayers of fiia State, as to oppose, jin an excited manner in public rooms of the hotels, a measure so important for the protection and increase of our revenue. One of these interested parties more frank, than the Speaker, declared "that when the argument was presented! on this ques tion he always run." This subject is going to be a difficult one to dispose of, but legislators must expect to hare one of two things, protection of the revenues, ot to make up the deficiency by taxation. Mr. Richardson, fiomr the Committee on Roads and Bridges, made this, morning a very lengthy and elaborate report upon the charter of International Bridge Company, which does great credit to the Committee, as coveririg the whole of tue legal objections to this project.

The report is entirely favorable. I notice the introduction this morning in poth Houses, of petitions of many townships in Canada, praying the passage of the act. The CanalJBoard have' taken another week to consider thi subject of discrimination. You have doubtless seen the remarks made in the Senate npon the resolutions in reference to the death of the lamented Dr. Kane.

You Buffalo have certainly reason to be proud of your noble Senator. Upon this occasion he made one of his happiest efforts, well fitted and adapted to tho occasion.

a snjj gton, March 2, 1357. The subscriber arrived with other big and lit tie bugs this after a tedious ride of nearly three hours from Baltimore, amid a furious storm of wind. Much is said of the windy cities on tho Lakes having had some experience in most of them, can. say that never was the undersigned infc.wbrse place for wind, and such dust. It is a pl(fect siroco.

There are constant accessions! to; the already great throng in the eitj. Tho hotels are crowd ed, and, really, it seems as if tho plan of Xix-Nax would have to be followed. There is hardly a place to even haisg up. I succedd by the advice of a' friend in getfng quarters at a private boarding house, midway between the President's house and the Capitol. The two Houses are in active session, much confusion occurring, particularly in the Ilouseof Representatives.

jWhun on a visit this morning several were calling Mr. Speaker during the lealiug of bills. The President elect arrived this afternoon at 5, escorted by the Lancaster and Auburn Willard Guards, (the latter company appear remarkably well on parade.) Guus were fired at the Depot. Mi-. Buchanan was escorted to: the National in an open carriage with lcs3 parade thanvrouldbe expected, but it must bo accounted for by the cold bleak wind which freezes up all enthusiasm, as well as the penetrating dust.

As I write, bands of music are parading the streets followed by companies arriving. The papers are-filled with the examination of D. C. Lee for the shooting of David IIcme, and much feeling is manifested, pickpockets are around one was arrested in front of the National, plying his- trade.

This city of Washington, seems principally occupied in drinking rum and legislating, the former ahead. The preparations for tho Ball are on a largo scale the price of tJen dollars being cbnsi Jored cheap for seeing old liluck and getting squeezed. Of one thing you may rest assured, it will be the largest concourse ever gathered in the Capitol. In conversation with a gentleman who has been a resident for sixteen years, he remark ed that never had such numbers gathered so long before the time for the ceremony. If this city could be shook together a little it would be better lor the country people who don't like such magnificent distances, the consequences in case is, a great degree of fWOguc, In consequence of whiek, for the present, I am Yours Truly, Liston.

The salaries of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court were fixed at $1,500 the present salary notwithstanding several attempts to increase them.

Asrest or Burglars. A small -yacht was driven ashore at Keyport, daring the storm of Monday. It was manned by five young men and who were nearly frozen. They had suffered intensely from the cold, and must have perished had they remained much longer at sea.

Rascals Caught -in a Stor. On Sundav night a number of burglars broke into the bonded warehouse on Cunard wharf, Jersey city, and stole therefrom a large quantity of silk goods.

Let tors were received yesterday from Monrovia, via England, of the 12th of January, from which we regret to learn that a serious difficulty had occur red at Cape Palmas, between the colonists and natives. Of the causes of the outbreak we are not informed, but the letter states that considerable property had been destroyed, including two large native villages situated on the verge of the Cape, and several dwelling-houses belonging to the colonists.

Of the colonists only one death is mentioned. The natives lost several. It is also stated that Mount Vaughn Mission station, with it3 school houses, was destroyed. These belonged to the Protestant Episcopal mission, under Bishop Payne. We hope that this report is incorrect or exaggerated.

The Cape Palmas colony, from its foundation in 1834, has been singularly exempt from all vio lence from the natives, or difficulty with them of any kind. It is to be hoped that the present dis turbance is but local and will be only temporary. Cape Palmas Colony was founded by Dr. James Hall of Baltimore, and that gentleman sailed for Africa a few weeks since, in the new packet ship Mary Caroline Stevens. Dr.

Hall is very popular in Cape Palmas, and his arrival will be most opportune. We have also files of the Liberia Herald to Dec. 18. The Herald of Dec. 17th, publishes in full the text of the treaty of commerce and navigation recently signed and ratified between France and Liberia.

C'jm. Adv. Texas and Arkansas. The emigration to these States from the. older Slave States is re markably large, and it seems, constantly on tho "Increase.

A recent number of the Memphis Bul letin says itWe have never before observed so large a number of emigrants going westward as are crossing the river at this point daily, the two ferry boats (sometimes three) going crowded from early morn until the boats cease making their trips at night. It is no uncommon sight to see from twenty to forty wagons encamped on the bluff for the night, notwithstanding there has been a steady stream going across the river all day; and yet the cry is still they come. The emigration is from the older estates, mostly Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis sissippi and this State, all going to settle in Ar kansas and Texas. Judging from these indica tions, the influx of population into these states will be larger this season than ever before, and or good substantial citizens. Kansas not Free tet.

In a letter just receiv ed from a prominent citizen of Kansas, is the following item A decided movement is now being made to get claims npon the Shawnee lands.
