NEW Albany AND sANDUsKY RAILROAD

Our readers will be pleased to learn
that this road has attracted the attention
OF the Cincinnati Gasette. Hitherto,
this great commercial paper has wholly
ignored its existence for reasons that are
well known to many. Last week, how
ever, IT condescended to give the follow
ing announcement Of the letting Of the
road.
The work on the New Albany and
Sandusky Junction Railroad, has, we un-
derstand, been nearly all let to parties
who are represented as responsible"
and who show their high opinion of the
Road, by agreeing to take large por-
ton Of their pay in the stock Of the
Company. The route OF this Road runs
in almost direct line from New Al
bany, Ia, to Piqua, Ohio, and thence to
Huntsville, where it connects with the
Mad River r. r. to Sandusky. The
branch from Eaton to Piqua was pro-
iected by the Eaton e. Hamilton Rail-
road, butt has recently been consoli da-
ted, or rather given up to the N. A. a. 5.
Company.
So far, very good. This Is an item Of
news for which the readers OF the Ga
sette ought to be thankful. But the news
is not such as the Gazette Company
likes. That company is composed of
wealthy men who have large interests in
Cincinnati, and large amount OF stock
in the Cincinnati d Dayton Railroad,
The northern terminus Of this road as
well rs of our road is Sandusky. A
very large per cent Of the travel from
Sdndusky to Cincinnati Is destined for
the South. By our road they can reach
New Albany within a few hours Of the
time now oc cupied in going to Cincinnati
OF course the road will therefore take
all che travel that goes south west. In
view Of this fact the Gazette men say:
The proposed Road will merely afTort
a straight line between New Albany, OF
the Ohio river, and Sandusky, on LAX,
Erie, and may possibly enable passen
: ger from some Of the interior towns
through which it passes, to reach San
dusky half an hour or an hour sooner
than by the routes already in operation
| In view OF these facts, and the presen
great depression Of Railroad interest
generally, we think Oh is road should no
be constructed; AMI we are farther o
the opinion that 1t will not be built, un
' less very great change takes place il
the public mind. Sandusky has alread
ample connections with the West
New Albany Is also well provided for
: and certainly the.intermediate towns ar
not neglected, so far as regards Railroa
communications.
: We cannot believe, therefore, that an
= sane capitalist, would have any thin
to do with On enterprise Of this charac
ter. g
u The citizens of New Albany will n
v doubt be thankful for the kind intimu
: ton Of the Gazette, that they have raj
roads enough for their use, and the ain
n termediate towns" will also be glad tina
they have not been neglected. In th
mean time, we opine that the energeti
directors and contractors will push III
road to complstion with as much energ
J, as II the Gazette had said nothing abou
them.

VREv. w. w. HrBBEN called up
on us this week. He is getting quite
grey. and he appears to have lost his
mind, for he talks Of his rights. and in
Inmates that he intends TO think as he
pleases, Notwithstanding the pros Grip
ton of Robinson. Hargitt d Co. He
even thinks Of votingas he pleases this
fall. Those who know Mr.. Hibben,
know that he is Democrat, dyed in
the wool. We believe he always vo-
ted for j. L. Robinson for Congress
this Of itself is indisputable proof of the
genuineness of his faith. But since
that party has made the extension Of
slavery and whisky. and the contraction
ofreligion and the abuse of Protestants
their principal articles of faith, we be-
lieve he refuses "to follow fawning.'
OF course the Sentinel willcall him ar
Abolitionist. 1t ought TO do so.

re- IMPORTANT DECISION ON THE
LIQUOR TRAFFrc.-From the Phila-
delphia argus we learn. that on Fri
day oflast week an important decision
was made by Judge Thompson. Of the
Philadelphia Court of Quarter Sessions
adverse to the sale Of liquor on Sun
day. A man, indicted for keeping
disorderly house, was charged, in the
second count Of his indictment, with
selling liquor without license. The
disturbance which caused the indict-
ment took place on Sunday, and there
was evidence of the sale Of liquor on
that day. Mr.. District Attorney Reed
took the ground that, although the
defendant was licensed dealer, yet
the license did not cover sales ofliquor
made on Sunday. Judge Thompson
charged the jury, that the license
did not give him the privilege OF selling
liquor on Sunday, that the Supreme
Court had so decided. and if they be-
lieved liquor had been sold by the de-
PENDANT on Sunday, he could be con.
victed on that count. This decision Of
Judge Thompson is based on that Of
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
in the case ofThe Commonwealth agst.
Omit. An application of the principle
laid down by Judge Thompson will
entirely suppress the traffic in liquor
on the Sabbath, as the license for its
sale does not cover the first day of the
week, commonly called Sunday, on
which no worldly employment can be
carried on.

that the health of Hon. ]. II. Lane has

of his illness. At our latest advices

sThese qualifications areI cifisenskiin

These qualifications aref citizenship.
natural or acquired, an oath TO sup.
port the Constitution, and the Nebras-
ka Bin.
The declaration Of intention refer
red to, is that mentioned in the natu-
ralzation act, and the oath to support
the Constitution is that taken at the
end Of a FIVE years residence after a
declaration of intention. None but
citizens--those who are born in the
country, or. by FIVE years naturali-
cation, have become citizens-swear
to the Constitution. The judges who
will be appointed will unquestionably
so hold, and exclude all others from
the polls.
But the most insulting provision in
this section. and the most intolerable
provision in the whole bill, is that
which makes it and the Constitution Of
equal sanctity, which compels every
man who presents himself at the polls
to vote, or as candidate for Office TO
swear that he willsupport the Nebras-
ka bill; and which requires him to de-
vote himself to the propagation OF sla-
very before he is allowed to exercise
the inalienable right of freeman.
This is the first time an American
citizen has ever been required to take
an oath TO support an act of Congress,
it is the first time suffrage and Office
were ever dependent upon such an
oath; it is the first time the extension
of slavery has been raised to the level
of constitutional duty.
The operation of this qualification
will be to exclude from the polls and
from Office in the territories nearly ev-
cry man who goes there from the free
States. 1t will disfranchise nearly ey-
} cry member fevery emigrant associa-
ton that has yet been formed, and place
the entire politicaIpower Of the terrific.
ny in the hands Of shareholders or sla-
very propagandists; for no others will
or can take the oath required by the
term ofthat act.
1T will also exclude from the poll.
, and from Office for five years, every
! foreigner who may reach the territory
/. after the first election day.
: AS the great bulk of the future set
tiers ofNebraska win be foreigners anc
h emigrants from the free States, it Il
obvious that so far from governing
themselves, the inhabitants Of the ter
ritory will have comparatively nothing
to dowith makingor administering th,
d laws which they will be required Z,
obey. Such is the character of III,
