The SLAVE CASE AGAIN--There seems
to be no end to this case. Margaret, the
mother who murdered her children was
brought back from the South and lodged in
Jail at Covington to await a arequisition from
the Governor of Ohio; but before the Off
GERS could possibly reach there with the ne
cessary papers, she was taken from Jail and
again sent to the South by her MASTER
Gaines. Such trifing with the authorities
of Ohio is simply outrageous.
II. H. Robinson, U. S. Marshal, has beer
arrested and taken before Judge Burgoyne
who fined him $500 for contempt of court
in refusing to obey the writ of habeas cor
pus issued for the slaves of Gaines. He wa!
ordered to Jail until the fine was paid. A
writ ofhabeas corpus was issued by Judge
Leayitt, commanding the sheriff to bring be
fore him the body of the aforesaid Marshal
The case was argued at length by coanse
on both sides. AS the Judge could not de
eide the case Immediately, Robinson wa
again remanded to Jail.

Ar HoMg.--After an absence Of three
months, the editor is once more at his post,
though in feeble health. There are many
things claiming attention about the Office,
which must be looked after speedily. Our
effort shall be to devote our whole time, af-
tertiis week, to the work. A very impor-
tant branch ofour labois will be, to look af-
ter the money, 1t may not look very well
in print, but it is too true, that the entire
amount of cash received during our absence
from the office, would not be more than suf-
ticient to pay The wages Of one journeyman.
Never, since we have been engaged in the
business have we known our cash receipts
to fall so low. Well, something must be
DONE If our patrons do not furnish US
more Of the "sinews of war" this summer,
we must quit the business--that's ALL We
have enough money due us to meet all de-
mands, and we must have it! We cannot
live on air.
We shall endeavor to find time to visit our
friends throughout the county, and converse
with them privqtely on this subject soon,
unless they do better. There are many
other little matters, in connection with the
Telegraph, of which We wish 10 speak as
we have opportunity.

The Railroad Monopoly Law.

We last week briefly alluded to bill
pending in the Legislature entitled "Bill
to protect the investments of municipal cor
porations in Railroad Companies" and pub
lished a series Of resolutions adopted by
meeting of the citizens Of this place, protes-
ting against its passage. The bill finally
passed, and is now law. 1t provides that
no railroad shall be constructed through
the counties of Washington and Athens ex-
cept the one in which those counties hold
stock, without the consent of majority of
the legal voters Of said counties.
This bill originated with the Marietta and
Cincinnati Railroad Company, The North
Western Virginia road is about being COM
pleted to Parkersburg, connecting that point
with the Baltimore and Ohio road. The
Hooking Valley Railroad Company pro-
posed, in pursuance of the right guaranteed
to them by their charter, to construct their
Dad so as to form a connection with the
Virginia road. The Marietta Company,
controlled chiefly by Marietta men, fearing
that this would benefit Parkersburg at the
expense of Marietta. concocted the bill al
luded to, giving Washington county through
small portion of which the Valley road
would have to pass, an absolute veto upon its
construction, although tile interests of eue,y
other section of the State might demand it
This measure, covered over with variety
of specious pretences, supported by mis-
representation and sophistry. was imposed
upon the Legislature at lato hour in the
session, and hurried through by its friends
with such precipitate haste, that NO time nor
opportunity was given to properly expose
its enormity or set forth the great injustice
it would work to large and important Sec
ton of the State. AS soon as its object was
made manifest, every effort was made by
the representatives from the Hooking VAL
ley, aided by many of the ablest and best
men of other parts of the State, to defuatit,
but the schemes of its supporters were
deeply laid and their misrepresentation had
had so extensive circulation, and the space
of time allowed for its consideration was
so brief, that they failed in their object, and
the bill passed by three more than consti-
tutional majority.
We do rot deem it necessary to discuss
the provisions of this act at length here.-
ANY one who looks at it unbiased by preju.
dice or false representation, must see that it
is signal outrage upon the rights Of
large section Of the State, and, besides,
clearly in violation of the Constitution -
We hope the Hooking Valley Company will
pay no attention to its provisions. whatever,
but proceed with construction of their road,
without delay. This legislation is already
producing reaction which will defeat It's
object. The enterprise designed to be over
thrown will be established, instead, BY such
means as these, and the men who are plot
ting its destruction will be themselves the
victims Of their stratagems. Athens Ness.
