SeiOtO nnd Hooking Valley Railroad !
One word more in regard to the Rail
road. We learn verbally and by letter
that some misunderstanding exists as to
the route. The original law specified
any road from Lancaster to Newark or
Columbus or to any point between the
two. The amendment extended the
right of subscription "a any road; aud the
Sheriff's proclamation, under this amend
menl, confines subscription To the "Scio'
tn and Hockiug Valley RaiIroad." which
must terminate at Newark. The Sheriifs
/ Proclamation, at the instance Of thirty
citizens. is made a part ofthe law. There
need be no difficulty about this.
Under Mr, Keller's amendment TO the
law. it requires a majority Of the votes
cast for Governor, 10 1913, To authorize
ltbc Commissioners to subscribe stock
The number of votes cast was 5639; q
majority is 1920.
Thus it will be seen by the friends %
the road, thatlhey must casl at least 292(
ballots 10 carry subscription. II, t,ofcourse
depends upon their eif"rts. as every indl
yidual, who remains at home, will bt
counted against subscription. whether he
, be in favor or against.
J We believe that, with proper efforts
: The townships can poll the following mum

This makes 5000 votes for the RoaC

her superior enterprise in railroads. The
valuation of real and personal estate in
New York, at the commencement of the

compared with that Of 1910, exhibits an
increase of only 81, $50, 1873; while that Of
Boston shows an increase of $73 097 .40C

Diplomatic Appointments.

We perceive the teegraphic reports which appear in
the New York papers OF Saturday morning, announce the
following diplomatic and consular appointments:
Abbot Lawrence, OF Massachusetts, minister England
VIM C Rives, of Virginia, minister to France VIM. A.
Graham ex-governor of North Carolina minister Spain
Bailie Peyton, Of Louisiana, minister Chilli Geo p
Marsh (exmember of Congress) OF Vermont minister
Berlin Constantnope Thomas l.. Crrenden of Ken
lucky, consul to Lvepoo Lorenzo Draper Of New York,
consul Havre Edward Kent ex-governor of Maine,
sui Rio Janero; D. r. Foo,e, OF Buffalo, consul Bo-
gotta.
Ii is not our right to dissent from any appointments
which the present cabinet may make and therefore
deem ourselves bound say that that OF Mr. Lawrence
is capital one and was probably made from sup
posed connexon between cotton and capacity, woollen
and wisdom, looms and London centred in the person
of the proposed minister With regard to Mr. Rves we
concede that be has all the intellectual capacity for the
place TO which he has been appointed and probably the
requisite diplomatic tact II is possible the cabinet sup
posed he was best qualified for the mission to France in
consequence of the boastful in which he an.
nounced his diplomatic triumph the French ministry
in the matter of the indemnity during the administration
of General Jackson-a proceeding, however, which was
then universally criticised and condemned by the party
with which he is in association, and from which he
receives his present appointment The appointment of Mr.
Graham Spain, perhaps may be very well 80 far as the
appontee is concerned We understand it was made
through the influence of Mr. Senator Badger who now,
ii is said controls all appointments the gift of the cab

We seldom have opportunity to speak in terms Of

The National Whig which processes 10 be the organ

that the policy of the cabinet is TO appoint merchants 10

pontment of collectors for the ports of Boston. New
York Baltimore and New Orleans, it says, "eUery ons
of them is merchant bred to the laws and felcitous
influences OF commerce." On the contrary, the New

truth in relation to the personal history of the collector
OF that port, says of Mr.. Maxwell that he is schoa
and iapyer" We refer TO the matter merely to show
the accuracy of the favore organ OF the caba at the
head of the government, and how much dependence is
to be placed upon its statements generally.
