Ross AND SCIoro-Railrodd Ypte.-
In Ross county. the question Of subscrip.
tion to the Cincinnati aud Belpre Rail
road has carried by majority of 1885
That for the Scioto and Hooking Valley
Road has been lost by 155. We sup.
pose the result may be accounted for up
on the old maxim, you support NE and

In Scioto county the majority for the
SciOto and Hooking Valley Road will
reach nearly 900, resul; that was due
to the Road fIom the county most inter

What effect these results NAV have
upon the progress of the Scioto and

From the Danyie Democrat
Which Of the two great Political Parties h.
most friendly TO the Poor Man!

The above question demands the seri-
Gus, candid thoughts, and concentrated
reflection of every poor man ip the coun-
try. The boasting democracy" ~ of
our Union are loud and vehement IN their
professions of friendly regard for the
"poor man." The poor man" stands
conspicuous in all their political speeches,
harangues, and partizan paragraphs. But
how do their measures accord with their
professions They have adopted and
sanctioned low rate of ad uoioren2 du-
ties-thus admitting foreign manufactures,
manufactured by half paid labor, and con-
sequently sold cheap, to compete with
American industry. By this anti-Ameri-
can measure, tens of thousands of our
laboring poor are thrown out of employ
ment, are obliged to seek work in occupa-
tons to which. they are unaccustomed, and
at greatly reduced pay. And this it Is as
serted, is benefitting the poor man, because
he can buy foreign manufactures cheaper
than he can our own, especially under
protective specific duties. How is the
poor man benefited by the cheapness of
foreign manufactures, when he is thrown
out Of employment in his regular business,
and earning nothing, or working III some
other occupation at a price that barely
supplies him with the humblest necessa-
ries of life Does the poor man want
railroad or merchant iron Is 1t any ad-
vantage to him that such manufactures are
cheap No-he may want good suit Of
clothes, and English cloths may be very
cheap, but for want of proper employment,
and good wages, he cannot buy even the
cheap British goods.
The rich and comparatively rich, are
alone benefited by the cheapness OF for
eign manufactures. The policy OF the
self-styled democratic party, is TO make
lhe rich richer, and the poor poorer

friends Of the poor man." Their motto
IN practice is" Provide cheap articles

poor look out for themselves" ii is the

and other iron. 1t is the rich and COM

LYNCH Law IN VIRGINIA Culpepper Court

rage against the laws, and an act of liendish
inhumanlty, which is thus noticed in the
fredericksburg Recorder:

mob assembled at the Court House, and though
resisted by the Sheriff at the Jail door. entered
the Jail and took therefrom by force, William
GFayson, free negro, charged with the mur-
der OF David w. Miller, and hung him By the
neck until he was dead. The Superior Court
OF Culpepper had twice convicted Grayson, and
the General Court had twice granted him new
trlal. In the last opinion the General Court
SAID: Upon the whole case we are of opin-
ION, that the testimony is not only not sufficient
10 prove the guilt OF the accused, but that it is
hardiy sufficient to raise q suspicion against
hlni. The Judgement must therefore be re-
Versed and new trial awarded" This infurl-
ated mob, consisting as we regret to learn, in
part OF justices Of The peace, and of members
OF christian churches, have thus by violence
reversed the decision Of the highest criminal
tribunal IN the State, and been guilty Of a foul.

he was TO confess his guilt this he refused to
do, and told them to execute him az onre

The Whig Press.

We copy the following excellent re-
marks from the Philadelphia Daily News,
on the duty of the Wings of the country
to support their party presses. The adj
vice is good, and we hope that several
postmasters who are quite active as agents
for some of the city weeklies, but cannot
afford to take the Gazette and some
hundreds of wings who seem to care more
for reading old and stale matters at So per
annum in something headed PHILADELPHIA
or New York, than to learn the latest
news, both at home and abroad, for 81 in
the Gazette, will profit by it, The News
exhibits liberality for which it deserves
TO be rewarded.
we have few words TO say on a sub
Ject, IN which, as the publishers of news
paper, we may be supposed to be some
what interested, and vet we think our re-
marks will be of such obvious truth. that
their proprety will at once be admitted.
We refer to the duty of Wings in town
and country to support their party press.
And by support we do not mean reluct-
ant halfway support, but such as is decid-
ed and eiiectlye-such as tells upon the
paper, and through itupon the community.
10 commence from home, many of our
Wing country papers do not receive half
the support from the people in the coun-
ties where they are published which they
need and deserve. We can advocate their
claims without any feeling of rivalry. as
our observation has taught US that the more
people read the more they wish TO. Could
we at once double the subscription to all
the Whig country papers in the State, we
doubt not that our our own country circu-
iati0n would be doubled.
The party in every county must, or
ought to have local paper, and its sup
port must be from the neighborhood. 1t
may not be able TO give as great an amount
of reading matter as the city weeklies, but
the paper need not on that account be less
interesting. If it proves so, it is the fault
of the editor. There are plenty of local
items, which have a peculiar local interest,
10 make any country paper read, if the
editor attend TO his business and takes
pains TO make his paper useful. But he
needs the encouragement, the support and
sympathy of those who think and act
with him. If he cannot have this from
those who think as he does, who feel in
terested in the advancement of the same
principles, and the success of men adyO-
eating those principles, he can hardly ask
or expect the aid of those who hold the
opposite views. Yet there are men in
every county in the State who pretend to
feel great interest in their party, and who
even sometimes ask party favors, who do
not take their county paper. This Is not
the acdy TO build ap a13 party or 10 pro-
mote correct political doctrines.

Celestial Empire, which have been in force
from the tine Of Confucius to the reign Of the

that when q man trespasses upon another's
grounds, and thereby falleth into a sink, he
shall get nothing but dirty clothes, unless he
shall happen TO be an outside barbarian, in

RIGHTS OF MARRIED WoMEE.--A very i'm
portant opinion has recently been delivered by
Judge King, in the Court of Common Pleas of
Philadelphia, in reference TO the rights Of hus-
bands over the property of their wives under
the act of llth April, 1850, of which opinion
the Daily News gives the following abstract:
Geo,ge NJ CANDLES Estafe.-In this case, the
point decided was, that since The act OF lin
April, 1850 the husband Of a wife, tho owner OF
real estate in her own right, has no interest IN
such estatc--that he cannot either sell, lease,
charge or cucumber IN any way, without her
consent-that the only interest he has ii sueh
estate if il can be called an interest, is his eX-
pectant right therein, for life, in the event OF the
wife dying intestate, seized thereof-that this
expectaucy depends on such lntestacg, because

regard 10 the husband lie, therefore has no
