RAILROADS The late meeting Of the
Fitchburg Corporation resulted in strong
hand vote, some or only dissenting, to
authorize a committee to proceed in the solic-
iting the additional 100000 required to in
sure the onward progress of the Rutland
road-but a stock vote was insisted on, which
reversed the order, one man controlling
5000 shares. There was an unanimous
expression favorable to the construction of
the Rutland road, and to receive its business
on the most favorable terms.
60 Since the above was prcpared,we have
cheering news from Boston, by private intor'

and Sullivan, are uniting their influence for
the progress and completion Of all these
roads.

the Rutland road, public meeting was Motif

ton to the stock already subscribed
The Courier says, " We are happy to learn
that better feeling pervades the commune
ty on this subject, and that many of the stock
holders in the Fitchburg and Cheshire roads
are willing to come forward and take stock

New SHOVEL FACTORY. We are al
ways right glad to announce the introduction
among us ofany new branch of industry be-
cause we regard it as additional evidence, if
any were needed, of our inevitable tendency,
to become a manufacturing State, and of
disposition to direct the enterprise and skill
of our people to the utmost possible i'm
provement of the manufacturing facilities
which we so eminenty enjoy. Within few
weeks Factory has been set in operation in
this town for the manufacture of Shovels,
Spades, Hoes, &c. tits the only establishment
Of the kind in the State, and is located on
Bridges stream in the upper part of the Will
age. Our townsmen, B. STACKpoLE & Co.,
are entitled to the credit Of being the first to
introduce the manufacture of these articles
into the State, and from the specimens we have
seen of their work, we should judge they were
determined to continue the first so far as
beautiful and substantial workmanship is con-
cerned. Our neighbor JONAS G H0LcoMB,
who is the business member of the firm, has
presented us with a cast steel shovel of their
make, which for strength of material and
beauty of finish will vie with any thing we
have ever seen of the kind from the oldest and
best manufactures in the country. We con-
fdently hope that the community will show its
appreciation of the enterprise and workman
ship of our own citizens by a liberal encourage.

THE BEST WAY TO AVOID WAR.

All admit that war is great calamity and tina,
it ought to be avoided long it can be done with
honor; but the other hand all who are true patri-
OTIS admit that is to be preferred peace unless
is honorable peace. As to the best mode of Sc
curing honorable peace there different opn-
ons. On this subject believe that the surest way
have peace, is to be prepared for The most pow
erful nation the globe will be less apt to get up
collision with people well prepared for hostilities
than with that has taken steps to preserve its
rights by force. Great Britain is powerful and her
subjects brave but they conscious of their
strength and understand that the game of brag can
sometimes be played with success. At the same
time British statesmen are wise, they arseeing,
and they look carefully before they strike.
When the war feeling is excited in England it is
by no means a sure indication that war is desired
or intended. Such feeling is often of importance
there to delude her own subjects and direct their at
tention from other topics on which il would not
be safe for their minds to dwell. We think it pro-
babe that there is something of the kind going on
in England. But be this it may, England vii
not fail to understand the full extent of every move
ment in country by way Of preparation for war.
In proportion to the extent and activity Of our pre-
parations will be the chances of peace, and in this
view we shall rejoice to see our defences in state
of readiness for any emergency.

THE ANTIRENT TROUBLES IN NEW YORK.

THE ANTI.RENT TROUBLES IN NEW YORK.
Mr.. Harris of Albany gave notice of bills to
abolish distress for rent-o cquallze taxatlon-and
to provide for an investigation into the immortal IT,
ties IN this State, and the eXunguishmcnt OF the
same.
MIR. Harris also offered resolution directing all
the petitions file, on the subject of landlord and
tenant, TO be taken thercfrom and referred TO Sc
ect committee.
Mr.. ChatfeId Of Stcuben (dem) would like to
know the nature of the petitions, and whether they
were not such would come within the province
of some of the standing committees He asked,
therefore, the character Of these petitions.
Mr.. Harris. They embrace a variety of objects
going to the full extent of the relief asked for by the
tenants in this senatorial district. They the petit
tons which were presented at the last session, and
which were then, very appropriately, referred to a
select committee. Mr.. III. supposed they should go
there again. He did not think they fell within the
appropriate jurisdiction of any standing committee.
Mr.. Worden suggested, if this subject was to go
to n select commitee--as he supposed 1t would
that it should be large one, embracing as far as
practicable, members from different sections of the
State. As the mover (Mr. Harris) did not desig-
nate the number of the committee, 1t would Of
course consist of five. He (Mr. W. proposed
eight-one from each senat cSax. ssStrlet.
Mr.. Harris assentcd TO that
Mr.. Lawrence of Franklin (der thought il pre-
mature to order select committee before the APP
pontment of the sanding committees. At the
proper time, he should not object to to proper ref
erence Of the petitions. At present, he hoped the
gentleman from Albany would let the resolution lie
on the table. He made that motion.
Mr.. Harris (Mr. Lawrence waving his motion
for the presently said it was well known to every
member that the matter Of these petitions was to be
prominent subject of discussion and action at this
sessions and it was because the standing committees
had not been appointed, that he offered the resolu-
ton at this eafly day, in order that the speaker
might have the fact in view, in arranging the stand
ing commuters, that this was to go to a select com
mlttee; or, if the House determined otherwise, that
the speaker might act accordingly. He supposed il
would facilitate the arrangement Of the committees
and The business Of the House, to have 1t decided
now whether this important subject was to go tC
a select a standing committee.
Mr. Watson rose to propose amendment
Mr. Lawrence renewed his motion, and the rcso-
luton was laid on the table--62 to SO.
Mr. Wright of Schohare, (dem.,) likewise gave
the earliest notice of bill to tax the reserved rents
of the landlords at the manors similar that intro
duced last winter by Mr.. Harris.

MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.-The line Of magnetic
telegraph between Baltimore and Philadelphia may
be expected soon to be completed. The posts
for the whole line nearly all delivered ready for
setting up, and many weeks will not eapse before
the completion of this line will finish the telegraph
between Washington and New York.
The "semuphores for Signalling vessels" recent
ly published by Messrs. Rogers & Black, are being
extensively introduced into use in connection with
the magnetic telegraph ard soon to be put into
operation between Baltimore and station at the
Bodkin; so that in very short time the telegraph
system will extend its usefulness among all classes
of the community, especially along the Atlantic
scaboard.

[From our regular correspondent

PnnADELPHiA, January 3, 1876.
The glorious 9th Of January, 1915, was celebrated
yesterday with great spirit by the democracy Of
Philadelphia city and county. IL is said by those
who know, that the unanmity and enthusiasm,
and numbers of these celebrations have not been
equalled IN many years. There can be no mistake
as to the cause Of this uprising OF the people The
critical relations Of foreign afairs-the interest
ing and thrilling proceedings Of Congress-have
operated upon the public mind to such de-
regard 10 the issue. No man could have been sus-
tanned more heartily sud enthusiastically than was
the President Of the United States this occasion
The democracy acted if they felt that he de-
served to wear tAe mantle Of Jackson. They felt
as II he had not practised in the school Of his H.
lustrious friend for nothing. They appreciated
alike the boldness and the wisdom by which he has
been actnatedi alike that spirit which, to avoid
honorubly, would do everything, and that which to
esnde dshonoraby would do nothing. At the eele-
bration which had the honor TO attend, his name
was received with great enthusiasm, and associated
with strong and overwhelming feeling in favor Of
"al Of Oregon or none" Mr. Buehanan's mastery
leterto Mr.. Pakenham was also loudly, and warmly,
and universally applauded. Vice President Dallas
was also most fayorably recollected by his fellow
citizens. The name OF Jackson was remembered
with profound regard, and his services conseerated
IN their affections. His death was everywhere
named as an event Of the deepest misfortune, and
Try were recolected with the most powerful effect.
"Such graves as his pilgrim shTines-

There were four celebrations in tho county, and
one in the city, aud all of them numerously al
tended.
Our legislature was organized on Tuesday by the
election Of Major Finday Patterson, Of Armstrong
county, as speaker OF the house. and Of Hon. ID. l..
Sherwood, ofTioga, speaker Of the senate Both
these gentlemen are sound and steady democrats,
and both were chosen by the regular democratic
caucus. The governors message, which was de-
lvered on Wednesday, is plain, practical, and an
admirable paper, asserting the right doctrines on all
great questions boldly and sketchng the principles
by which he proposes to be governed. The gov
ernOr gives The quetus 10 the effort anticipated In
favor Of Gordon Of new banks at the present
sion. IL is said that no less than eight millions Of
dollars will ask for powers ofincorporauon.

SLAVE cAsE.--Yeserday further hearing OF the
case Of of the colored man named John Brown, on
the charge of being slave and fugitive from the
State of Maryland, took place before the United
States district court, Judge Randall presiding. A
number Of witnesses were examined on both sides.
The court was then addressed by J. G. Clarkson,
esq, on the part Of the claimant, and by Edward
Hopper, esq, on the part of the coIored man. The
Judge then delivered his opinion, demanding the
slave to the custody Of his master, who, in the af-
ternoon, started with him in the cars for Baltimore.
The slave was arrested by officer Reese, of Re
corder Vaux's Office, and is claimed by DR.. Fisher,

inst, says
Twelve bills Of Indictment for couhterteiting the
coin of the United States were found against prOmI'
nent Mormons of the city Of Nnuvoo, by he grand
Jury, and presented to the United States circuit
court at Springfield. The nicely with which thIS
spurious coin made is said he such, that IT can
not be detected by the eye by feeling, and vast
sums of it have been put into circulation, much OF
which is yet probably, in circulation through the
country. The marshal made request of the gov
ernor for the assistance Of the State troops in Ham
cock to aid him in the arrest of the persons ndict
ed This request Gov Ford did not grant The
reasons for his refusal, az given by a writer in the
State Register, are, that the militia not called
for by the President of the United Saes and that it
would not do to arrest The leading Mormons now
for, if it done, il would be impossible for the
rest TO leave in the spring.
These Mormon chiefs have succeeded in gather
ing a band Of villains around them, who are entirely
under their control; and now, through the fear that
the lesser rouges will not leave us, the greater ones
are to go unwhipt Of justice. An officer has been
sent to Nauvoo TO make the arrests, il possible; and
the court will remain in session this week. to give
the marshal an opportunity to make his return.

from a New York correspondent
New YoRK, January 8, 1916.


In one of my late communications spoke Of n
contemplated combination of the banks with GER
tain politicians to defeat the bill for the establish
ment of the independent treasury. In reference to
the action of the banks in this matter, the Rich
mond "Whg" uses the following language:
"Nothing would be wanting to make the sub
treasury omnipotent in the affections Of the people,
but an ascerained combination among the banks to
defeat it, 1t would avail little that their views were
patriotic or that they would if effected prove bene
fetal. When they combine to defeat measure, the
people will assuredly combine to carry it through"
This so nearly corresponds with the language |
used in reference to this very subject that might
suppose that it originated whh members of the same
party at least; but when see, as we do from the
above extract, that the wing party no longer con-
slider the banks omnipotent, that their combined ef
forts to defeat any measure of legislation will be
sufficient reason for the people to combine TO carry
it through il proves two very important things, that
the banks generally have an extremely slight hold
upon the affections or good viii Of the people, and
that the wing party body have learned, after it
is too late, that to rely upon banking institutions for
aid in political movements is worse than leaning
upon broken reed; but still, and notwithstanding
