Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad.

Cleveland sanN Pittsburgh Railroad.
The following from the Cleveland Herald is en-
inently deserved. better road one better man.
aged, and better oficered, cannot be found. For
model Conductors, we point with pride to Gle
land, Mauwny and scymour-gentlemen, in the
best sense of the term are they, and win golden
opinions from the thousands Gf passengers whom
they conduct with much comfortand safety over
the road:
A MODEL RAILsoAD.-The entire damage
done to locomotives aud cars upon the Cleveland
and Pittsburgh Raoad during the past eighteen
months does not amount to. fifteen hundred dollars
and this includes the damage to two passenger cars
which were thrown into the lake where the track
fell from having been undermined by the wash of
water during severe storm; and three four
slight accidents caused by unavodably running over
cattle.
The road is one hundred miies in length, and al
most cons tan,ly curing the time named, nine To-
comotves and three or four express trains have
been daily running over it.
We believe that no other Railroad in the Union
can show equally clean bill; and this striking
immunity from accident is not the result of chance
but of careful management, Of strict accountability
of officers, and of employment as far as practicable,
of men whose homes and interest are in the neigh
borhood of the Road and who feel srecial pride in
sustaining their regulations for capacity and atten-
iion to their business. Over road thus managed
people ride with feeling of confidence and secu-
riiy.- Cleue Her.

IndignalIom Meeting at CleveIand.

Indignation meeting AT CAeVeAanN.
One of the largest meetings ever held in Cleve-
land, convened last Saturday evening. to consider
the Infamous conduct of the people of Erie. The
Mayor Of the City presided. The most intense
feeling rrevaded the meeting. Speeches were
made and resolutions passed. Hon. S. ]. An
drews was Chairman of the Committee on Reso-
lutions. The resolutions are dignifed. but strong
and inftxble in purpose.
The intimation, that if Pennsylvania continues
her selfish and unjust policy, that retaa'ory mea-
sures will be resorteG to, is not an idle one. The
whole West is interested, and can probably secure
influence enough in Congress to repeal the duty
on iron. This would be hitting Pennsylvania
where shs lives. The Ohio Legislature can also
repeal the charter of the Pennsylvania and Ohio
Railroad. All such retaliatory acts will be just IF
Pennsylvania pursues her infamous career longer.
We clip the two following resolutions as the
most important in the series:
Reso'ved, That the benefits of the Union can be
secured to the people of the different States, only
by mutual concession, foIbearance, and occasional
practical Inconvenience. That the State of Ohio
alone, within the last ten years, has paid in duties
nearly five millions of dollars, for the protection of
the iron interests of Pennsylvania and that just
spirit of reciprocity would to dictate to the
latter State the propriety of giving the former
right of way over her soil, even at the expense of
some Inconvenience to herself-but that her oblipa-
ton to do so is greatly enhanced, by the consider
alton that the General Assembly of Ohio granted
to the eitizels of Pennsylvania the right to con-
struct Railroad through this State upon the con-
dtlon' and with the understanding, that a cores
ponding privilege should be granted by Peunsylva-
MIA to citizens Of Ohio.
