The Tuscarawas Advocate, heretofore for Lin

for Breckenridge It's apparent that there is n
general "honcy fugling" between the Lincoln and
breckenridge leaders at this time, and they are rap.
idly makinga small party by themselves, for the
voters are all going for Douglas Statesman.

The Bargain Consumating.

The Republican Congressional Con-
vention met at Columbus a few days ago
and refused to nominate candidate. II
is the general opinion, and it Is founded
on good authority, that union is about
to be gotten,up in several Congressional
districts between the Black Republicans
and the Breckenridgers to defeat the Dem
ocratic candidates. This only carries out
the threat made to us some time ago by n
high Federal official of this State that
Cox, Vallandigham and all other cand-
dates who support Douglas should be
beaten. The same official declared to us
before the meeting Of the National Com
vention at Baltimore that if Douglas was
nominated another candidate should be
put in the field, and we would have two
district and county tickets in every dis
trict and county in the State, and be beaten
in every county in the State. We have
no doubt about the Breckenridge wire
workers of this state being in league with
the Black Republicans, and so far as this
county is concerned they can so to thun-
der. All that surprises us is that very
few good men in this county should be
led astray by these corrupt Federal pap
suckers. We do not believe there is a
Democrat in this county in the secrets ,l
who are dancing to their music will get
their eyes open before he election.

Of having the oldest men in it, of any

old and all warm Douglas men. Our old
friend Shuber, one hundred and three
years old, told us he would walk to town
on the morning of the election to cast his
vote for Senator Douglas. He lives two
miles from this place. We found foul

STATE DISTRICT CoURT.-Morgan ct al. vs..
Spangler, 1.-THE particulars of this case noted
Saturday. Further argument in this case
is postponed until Tuesday morning. The
Court will proceed this morning with other
causes before the other jury.
Forest City Bank Case. A motion TO dis
miss the quo warranto proceedings against
the Forest City Bank, for the reason that the
proceedings were instituted by the Prosecu-
ting Attorney instead of the Attorney Gen
eral, and that the allowance thereof was by
a Judge of the Common Pleas as a Judge of
the District Court, instead of by Judge of
the Supreme Court acting as q Judge of the
District Court, was, at the present term,
overruled. A demurrer to the information
was then filed, which was sustained as to
some specifications and overruled as to 9TH
ers. The plaintiff then on leave filed a
plea, to which the defendant filed demur-
rer, which was overruIed, and leave given
to the plaintiff to file a replication, which
has been done, and the case set down for
trial on Wednesday morning next.

For the purpose OfrestOring the road to its
stockholders, its proposed to create new
general mortgage, and issue the company's
bonds under it, eimbursable in thirty years,
bearing per cent interest, for the purpose
of absorbing the unsecured bonds, and to
take the old bills payable, which have been
under protest since 1857, in the following ra-
tio: The River Line bonds with the accUred
interest to date, as well as four coupons, that
will become due in 1851, together with the
old bills payable, including judgments
| against the company with interest accrued
and accruing to January, 1862, at 40 per
/ cent, the dividend and income bonds, to-
| gether with the interest to January, 1862
/ These items will consume about 5000, 900 of
| the proposed issue. For the Baldwin claim
| and the back due mortgage coupons, amount
1 in the aggregate to about 1920, 600, it is pro
! posed to pay in full from the earnings of the
road.
The company owes no debt contracted un-
i der the present administration, and the
working OF the road is reduced to as perfect
a system Of economy as can be adopted, con-
| sistenJ with safety and proper regard for
the property of the company.
The drawback to the prosperity of the
company has heretofore existed in the ne
cessity of entering Pittsburgh on the track
of a rival line for twenty four miles. This
difficulty is about to be obviated by an ar
rangement for an Independent track, which
will bring the cars into the Pennsylvania
Railroad depot. For this extension it is pro-
posed to issue bonds for the cost, estimated
at from SSOO,O to 81, ,OOO, 900, including a
bridge over the Allegheny river. Arrange
ments have been contaminated for the con
struction of this twenty-four miles from
Rochester to Pittsburgh, to commence as
soon as the unsecured debt is funded. This
extension to Pittsburgh will save an annual
rent of $S5,000, now paid to the Pittsburgh
Fort Wayne q Chicago road, besides some
S2O,O 900 to $25, 900 for half of the repairs O
the track leased. This saving of $lO5, 900 il
equal to 10 per cent. interest upon 81, ,O50, 600
exclusive of discrimination against tht
Cleveland & Pittsburgh Company for thu
suburban business on q rival road leading
from so popElous city as Pittsburgh.
] With Jnese arrangements carried out, tn
+ annual charge upon the net earnings of tn
, road will be S35I, $50 for interest, and 81 so
for sinking fund, or $500, 900 srenewet
bonds total, SS69, $50. The earnings from
December l, 1900, to November 80, 1861, ar
estimated at 81 ,O25, 900, at an expense not /
exceed so per cent, which includes repair
and new work. 1t only wants the same goo
/ management for another year to bring thi
road back to a condition it enjoyed before it
unfortunate completely with the Ohio Lii
and Trust Company, and make once NOR
: regular dividends to its stockholders.

AVALUABLE RELIC MIssING.-On the Tenth
of September, the Washington Infantry Of
Pittsburgh brought with them to the Cele-
bration in this city a relic which attracted
much attention, and which was exhibited
on the speakers stand. Il was q tattered
blue banner, which was carried by the
Americans at Eutaw Springs, in the Revolu-
tionary War, and which had been presented
to the Pittsburgh Company, and was Of
course considered sacred by them. While
being examined by the crowd around the
speakers stand, it disappeared, and has not
since been heard of. The loss is one not
easily borne, and an appeal is made to the
patriotism, the honor, and lastly, to the sell
fshness of the purloiner, to return it forth
with to the rigbtful owners. The holder
may possibly be ignorant of its ownership
if so, he will need only this hint to immedi-
ately return it. In any case, a reward Of $40
is offered for its safe return to the Company
Will the Press elsewhere give circulation
to this appeal?

BBETHREN:-While we rejoice with you in
the cheering prospects of the triumph of the
Republican cause on the sixth of November
next, indicated by the success of the recent
| elections, and the general rising of the peo-
| plein the free States in favor of Union and
Freedom, we believe that great effort is yet
called for to secure that large vote for our no
bic chieitain, which will assure him, when
he takes the Presidential chair, that he is
sustained by power which no combination
| disunionists can overthrow or impair.
For this purpose we are making thorough
canvass of our township, and propose to cir
culate documents touching the matters at is
sue between the parties, hoping thereby tc
save many of our Democratic friends from
the inconsistency Of voting to sustain and ex-
tend the vilest monopoly which has ever
cursed the earth, and from the disgrace o.
countenancing a fusion, which considering
the results aimed at, finds no parallel in tho
annals of corruption and infamy.
Having in view the results above stated
we challenge you to trial Of strength at The
coming Presidential election, and we say Il
you after due deliberation and knowledge
what we can do, that we will make the pro
portionate increase of our vote over yours a
the recent election, the greatest.
Although not specially authorized to do s,
by the Republicans Of Lake County, we TAX
the liberty Of communicating their chal

a contest neither the victor or vanquishel

been put forth for success.
