Some partisan of the Michigan Central Railroad under
the signatures of "A Switchman and "Anti- lumbug,
is engaged in the columns OF one of our daily cotempo
rares in exonng that road at the expense Of the Mch-
gan Southern. His apparent cand0r but thiny covers
the malgnity of his attacks the latter road and the
animus OF them is very apparent He fears the effect
of the construction of the Detroit and Toledo Road on
the traffic Of his favorite route the Michigan Central
And he has sufficient reason for his fears. The con-
structon Of that road will doubtless divert a
large amount of business, which has now no other
Quite, from the Central to the Southern route In
decd the counsel of the Michigan Central Railroad is
when he was endeavorng to prevent the entrance of
the Detroit and Toledo Railroad into Detroit, that if
this connection with the Southern Road was permitted
the Central Road could not pay . cent dividends.
The result, would not in our opinion bear out this pre-
dicton but there will doubtless be large accession
of business to the. southern Road from now
monopolized by the Central principally from the Sus-
pension Bridge and Great Western Canada route.
In relation 70 the Detroit aud Toledo Road
the charter of the Northern Indiana Railroad IN
Ohio gives the right to make that part of the road in
Ohio about SIX miles and TO connect by contract with
any road in Michigan. About two years ago the
right Of way acquired FOR the road from the Ohio
line to Monroe and has been paid Tor and was in the
control of the Northern Indisns Railroad Co. That
Company contracted with an individual TO construct
the road from the Ohio line to Monroe, he 10 do ey-
eything and md everything. except rails chairs and
spike, he TO lay the track and thoroughly ballast
the road, and fence it, for which he was TO receive
O., 900 per mile. This right Of way and contract is u
route.
When the Michigan Southern aud Northern In
diana Railroads were consolidated the rghts and Oh
legations of each were assumed by the company;
and it is therefore possessed Of and vested with the
route from Toledo TO Monroe, having purchased the
land in Ohio and the contract being in force. The
grading has been commenced. This is nearly two.
fths Of the whole road to Detroit. The whole length
of the road TO be made is 50 miles. At Detroit con-
necton with the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad has
been secured with ample and eligible grounds in De.
