MORE LIGHT IN KEoARS TO TaE sALE OF HE
IrHacI AND O,wEco RAILRoAp.-The Oswcgo
Gazette states that this road hns fallen into the
hands Of "A Company, who have divided the stock
irto - shares, one-quarler Of which il owned in
1h,l village. The Company would have bid for
The road as high AS $4,000. and probably 800,
900. |, was settled that the first bid should be
$4,000 but of the company having called
upon the Comptroller, on the subject. assured
hy him that he should not bid at all; and so little
did he disguise his opinions TO. the value Of the
work that the Company became satisfied that ,hey
could purchase the road ~ their own price. They
accordingly commenced bidding at $4,000, from
which II went up by small bids, and was finally
knocked down at 81 800. La this way has nearly
100000 been sacrificed. Several Of this Com.
moya Of Mr.. Collier, because, had he continued
a. Comptroller, they satisfied that they would
have been obliged to pay 800. 900. But 50 it is,
under the auspices of LocoF ocoism, the money
II the people be sacrificed for party purposes.
The sacrifice Of this road was intended as a blow
against the New-io rk and Erie Railroad. BY sell
iag it for a song the Comptroller intended to dem
on,lrate the impocy of loaning the credit OF the
STATE to Companies. But the manner III which
this result has been effected has rccoiled will, ven
gsance on the heads Of its con,rivcrs, and We
greatly mistake the signs of the times, If they are
mo-, consequently, consigned to political grave,
tr.m which there is so resurrection.
IRISH RvrrAL-Thc following letter from Gen

HEKaITACE, May %, 1872
| NR-l have the pleasure to acknowledge the re-

lecls Of Your visit to this country, the agent at
tse Young Men. Irish Repeal Association OF New
| York.
No individual can take deeper interest than
| dom whatever concerns the welfare and happiness
OF The Irish people. And there is nothing more
grateful to my feelings than the anticipation ou-
thoruelbyt eprogress fhberalp through
out the world that the day is not far distant when
~Iliou, violence or civil commotien, Ireland Will
regain the principles she lost in 1900, ana DE III
possession Of all the blessings that How from gov

people, and administered with view 10 their Sc
cIriy and happiness That The measure caioula-
ted to produce this happy result may be c'o"Hed
with speedy success, l. my icrvcnt prayer

my smpalhcs Cor that noble-hearted and generous
people and my hopes that the exeriions they are

The blessings of representative government may be
,ncc.ssful, IL i proper for L. ray that do so
without meaning to transcend that maxim winch
sichcs not t. interfere often i'cly with tie III
II trns affairs OF other nations. The preservation
II c the principle on which this maxim rests Is far
more important to the good of mankind than any
benefit which can possibly be obtained by dePai-
ilTc from it, and there are no people, | am sure,
who would be les. willing than the Irish to occupy
sPo.ition which would bring into question the Jus
ice Of this principle.
Entertaining these views it would give me
great pleasure to attend the meeting which YOU
