8 lead to the construction of the road In mos

heaVy damages from railroad companies actual
iy lmPoverishing them if not robbing them, an,
we are pleased to chronicle SO different feel
ing. The NeUS sums up the advantages of tn,

10 landholders it will bring purchasers, t.
farmers read1 and better market, to mecha nc,
ana workmen employment and good wages, tc
merchants an enlarged cash custom, to owners
OF houses good tenants, to this section of the
state migration and wealth, and to all advan-
tages which we cannot enumerate.

We have beon informed that the directors
design building the road with the utmost ptac-
llcable despatch and the strictest economy
This conclusion meets universal approbation.-
Every proposal now TO deliberate or delay be-
comes serious obstacle. Everybody is con-
vInced that all is right consequently there
is nothing to be done but go ahead"

The Union Government organ) takes the
ground that the vote of the House on Thursday
to Gdhere to their own bill was but reitera-
ton OF the previous action of the House; being
neither step forward nor backward. The
same paper thinks that if the House agree to a
conference, then there will be ground to expect
speedy adoption of the views of the-Senate.

On to believe that, personally the Judge is a
lsposed TO accept, yet other considerations will
lore than likely induce him to decline. We Z
eed hardly add, that the Bar and the entire I
ommunity would be gratified if the Judge
1ould conclude to accept the appointment.- >,
