SOMETHING OF AN EXCITEMENT

There seems t, b. quite an excitement in

Island below Waples Cut, by the City Counci /
and the disposition Of tAe Westerl Rai Road
A lengthy communication VI i'll b, found in our
present issue upon This suhirc' We haye thus

have had nothing but street rnmors upon which
to base an opinion We may however, reer-
ate the opinion that we have expressed hereto
fore, that this whole matter, from its inception
TO the present time, has been conducted with
secrecy, which, if it bodies no evil TO the place,
opens the door for just suspicion 10 be excited
as to the doings of the Board of Directors of
the ID. and Z. Z r Co. And it is somewhat
remarkable thing, that, after assuring The peo
people so repeatedly that the road would moi
cost over % or $4,000 per mile, and that MIR.
Schuyler, wealthy and influential man of
New York, stood ready to take the bonds of
the company and build the road, the Chief En-
gineer should report the road to cost nearly dou
Die wh.t roads ordinarily cost in the West (ove-
$4O,OO0 per mile) and Mr.. Schuyler can find no
pocket about him in which TO place these beg

INTERESTING FOREIGN NEWS

Ihe loTeigR news IN our issue of this dav is
quite interesting. 1t seems from all we can
gather, that the Russians and Turks are really
cutting each others throats-that they have ac-
tually gone to war. How this contest will re-
suit, is beyond the power of any one to deter
mine. The Russians are powerful and war
like nation and when once they ret fairly
engaged III the contest will dislik. much to
give up the hunt; while OH the other hand
the Turks, are resolutc and determined and are
backed by powerful nations, whose political
salvation seems TO depend upon drying the
Russians back on to their own legitimate soil
Should France, England, Austria and Prussia
become absorbed IN the contest, We can scarcely
conceive how the other powers of Europe can
escape participation in il TO some extent And
should this be the case, long and desperate will
be the campaign and immensely destructive Of
property and human life. High officials which
now hold their places by feeble tenure and
governments contracted in their limits and weak
IN physical resources, will be very apt to lose
their identity when they come out Of this con
test.
Ii is to be hoped that the United States will
not be drawn into the vortex and with iudicious
management on boil. sides Of the water, there
is every reason to believe it will not All good
men on this side will deprecate the war, bu, if
nothing short OF war will satisfy the govern
ments of Europe, our policy is to furnish them
all the iood they want, providing they will pay
us a fair price for it, which they will be neces.

a The publication in Tuesdays issue Of
"Anthony's' communication, has called forth,
we understand some pretty harsh CRITICS ms up-
OF us, as well as misrepresentation Of us BY
one II Is asserted that we had no right to publish
the article, by another that we approved il in
our editorial remarks. by a third that we was
sold to the Je,cs, by fourth that we had refused
to publish rejonder and by others that we
deserved every thing but a good name for what
we have done or taiied 10 do. We never ex-
pect as long as we conduct an independent jour
nal, please all. II we have the appreciation Of
'he rational and rejecting, we shall be entirely
content. To the objection raised for pubIishing
the communication, we haye only 10 say. that so
long as we control the columns of this paper it
shall be open to the discussion OF all public
questions, and such as " i'll not bear this ordeal
are certainly questions of no gieat merit. A
public journal is the medium through which
men communicate and interchange opinions, and
to attempt 10 wrest this right from them, or to
muzzle the press, is species of tyranny which
we in this country know nothing about We
'dhc IL are not TO be forever buried
in the III nd, but are free TO be expressed when
they do not conflict with the peace and good
government Of society. A large number Of
citizens agree in sentiment with that communi-
cation, and certainly no man should be SO lib
eral as TO wish TO institute Star Chamber
Court, to dppriye these persons of this pooF
privilege.
In reply TO the charge that our editorial re-
marks approved Of the communication, we deny
it, except far it related to the secrecy that
has been observed in the conduct of the - s.
z. Railroad, and the crroneous statements made
TO the public in electioneering for the Countyt TO
become a stockholder; and this position we are
ready to defend now and hereafter.
In reply to the charge that we haye refused To
publish rejoinder, it is simply untrue Our
columns are always free for the discussion of
any and all public questions, if conducted III the
proper spirit
We trust this explanation will be satisfactory
10 the rational and the just, at least.
