IMPORTANT RAILROAD NEws.-we learn

IMPORTANT RAILROAD NEws.-We learn
from the Baltimore Sun that the
stockholders Of the Cincinnati and Hills
borough railroad met at Hillsborough,
Ohio, on the goth instant, when the pro-
position for consolidation with the Gin
cinnati and Marietta railroad. fixed upon
by the officers of those companies, was
rejected by the Marietta Company. by a
vote of 14o ayes to 1856 nays. and by
the Hillsborough Company by Is ayes
and 1913 nays. The entire Wheeling
stock was voted against the proposed
amalgamation. Resolutions were there
upon adopted by the stockholders, ex-
pressing their strong determination to use
every effort to insure the completion of
the Cincinnati and Hillsborough railroad
to the Ohio river, so as to form connec-
ton with Baltimore, over the North-wes-
tern Virginia railroad. at Parkersburg. -
This gives our Parkersburg nelghbors
the much desired connection. We are
pleased to learn that the disasterous re-
suits anticipated from the expected con-
solidation have been averted. We pre-
sumo that no more objections will be
made to bridging the river.

APPOINTMENT OF THE BOARD OF PUB
Lie WoRKs.-fhe Whig press of the State
manifests an altogether unnecessary APP
prehension of the action of the Board OF
Public Works in regard to the appoint
ment of proxies and directors in the vari-
GUS public Improvements. There is no
ground whatever, for the suspicion of n
design on the part of the Board to distri-
butte these appointments as political pa
tronage. They have made, and will! con-
tinue to make removals and appointments
with an exclusive reference to the inter-
ests of the State. We do not hesitate to
venture the assertion that the Board of
Public Works will connive at no attempt
to supersede faithful officer in any inn
provement company on party grounds
We hazard this statement in reply to a
correspondent who wants to know our
opinion in the matter.
If we are to draw any inference from
the violent assaults on the Board of Pub
lie Works by certain Wing papers. we
must conclude that they wish to drive
the Board to policy of prescription. 1t
is certainly very hard that the Board
should incur all the odium and receive
none of the credit of Jealous partially
for their political friends. But, notwith-
standing the unjust censure of few in
discreet, rabid Wing papers. we are of
the opinion that the Board will proceed,
as heretofore. in their energetic efforts to
manage the internal improvement inter
est of the State with an exclusive regard
to the public welfare.-Rich. Eng.
