SOPHIE WERNER VS.. THALBERe.-This highly
gifted young artist attended the concerts of
Thalberg in this city, on her return from one
Of which she sat down TO her own piano and
surprised her parents by playing Thalberg's
majestic arrangement of Home, Sweet
Home," with the same power and effect with
which that great artist had just charmed his
audience. She still retains much of his pc
culiar style of execution. We never hear
her play without being reminded of him, aud
wo are pleased to learn that she has consented
to perform "Home, Sweet Home" at the

LONDON, Ohio, May 81, 1859.
PUBLISHER DAILY PRESS. The prospect
for large yield of Wheat, Corn, &c., in this
(Madison) county is good. We are having fne
weather for growing purposes.
Considerable excitement was created in this
neighborhood few days since by the discovery, ,
as great many suppose, of gold on the farm
Of John Milton Graham, who resides near this
place. It is foundin large quantities, and is
supposed by many of our citizens to be the
" pure stuff" The samples can be seon at the
store Of MIR. Poets, in London. They have not
asyet, boen analy1ed, but will be in few days,
when the result will be made public.
The editor of the Democrat, published In This
place, started on an excursion to Clermont
County few days since, but not having pre
yiOusly published his route, is supposed TO
have proceeded on his journey unmoiested. He
will in all probability, visit your city ere he
returns. He will not visit Kansas and Oregon.
Yours, &C.,
JOHN WALLACE.

A GOOD, responsible and thorough going man
can serve the Press, himself, and the people of
Newport, by taking route on this paper in
that city. Any energatic and reliable man,
who has got the Uim in him to push matters,
can in short time build an extensive and re-
munerative route. Our patrons in Newport
have been badly served, through the mat
tention of those whose business it was to
know and do better. viii the young man who
has been carrying this paper in Newport call

CINCINNATI MONDAY, MAY 2s.
Rights of way-street Railways.

We are inquired of if we mean as we
cay, in the statement that the city govern
ment in respect to the streets Of the city,
have nothing that they have authority to
sell Precisely. A right Of way, and
the power to defend it against obstruc-
tion, is all that belongs to government, in
apublic thoroughfare; and any exercise
of authority beyond that, is an usurpa-
ton, which the courts will refuse to en-
force, and, if necessary, epjoin. It's to the
proprietors of the land that borders upon
the highway all the freehold rights be-
long. "The owners of the land on each
pide"-says Chancellor Kent-"go to the
centre of the road, and they have the ex-
elusive right to the soil, subject to the
RIGHT OF PASSAGE in the public. Being
owners of the soil, they have a right to
all the ordinary remedies for the freehold
They may maintain an action of eject
ment for encroachments upon the road,
or an assize if disseized Of it, or trespass
against any person who digs up the soil
Of it, or cuts down any trees growing on
the side Of the road, and left there for
shade or ornament. The freehold, and
all the profits, belong to the owners of the
adjoining lands. They may carry water
pipes under the highway, and have every
use and remedy that is consistent with
the servitude or easement of way over
Il, and with police regulations. - Com
vol 3, p 432.
The learned jurist appears to have Ia
bored to render as distinct as possible the
affirmation that, except the mere right of
passage, the public has no property what
ever in the thoroughfare. Such being
the rule, how idle are the plans broached
in the City Council, and among its mem
bers, to sell the leave to build line of
street railway, or put a price upon the
privilege to use such construction. The
whole thing is simply an impertineut as
sumption Of power to interfere in things
with which they have no concern. Let
them do that which is palpably and up-
mistakably their duty. Let them see that
the streets and alleys are properly
cleaned, lighted and guarded, and leave
of intermeddling with things beyond
their jurisdiction, in which they can only
exhibit their ignorance of the real duties
of their office, or, what is worse, their
dishonesty.
The City Government, as such, can not
be damaged by the construction of street
railway. The damage, if any, accrues to
individuals, each of whom, when he finds
himself injured or inconvenienced, has
the right to complain. The government,
no one will contend, has the power TO re-
ceive payment for permitting a public
convenience; and certainly it would very
much transcend its duty if it were to re-
ceive payment for permitting public in
convenience. In either case, the power
to mulct does not belong to it. Its func-
tion-if any it has-is to cooperate with
parties privately interested, so that the
convenience of all who use the street for
passage may be promoted: to aid rather
than obstruct works of laudable enter
prise and general benefit, and to help for
ward, instead of standing stupidity and OBJ
stinately in the way of the progressive
movements of the time.
