A good, clear voice, and an intelligent rem

artistic training or experience.

REV. NJ. d. CONWAY ON "DANeERoUs Doc
TRINEs."-Rev. NJ. D. Conway delivered an
able and effective sermon, yesterday even

Fourth street, on the subject of Dangerous
Doctrines;" taking the ground that there
were none, save of those that counsel cow
ardice Every honest conviction, every sim
cere thought shonld be expressed, and would
ultimately result in good. All opinions that
were now welcome and cherished, were
once heresies, and those secuted and abused
now, would in turn become dear and glori-
GUS in the future. All true men should fol-
low the God within them, where truth, as
they understand it. directed, and they would
fulfil the hidden purpose of their life, and
the design of Heaven.

WALNUT. HILLS RAILRoAD.-The survey of
the proposed street-railroad route from the
Catholic Church on High-street, through the
Garden of Eden, TO Walnut Hills, has been
completed, and the profile shows that the
project is entirely feasible. The rightof way
along the Madison-pike has already been
given, both by the county and the directors
of the road, and all the pToperty-holders, ex-
cept one, through whose lands the remainder
Of the road will pass have signifed their
assent that the track be laid down.
1t has not yet been determined whether or
not a new street will be laid out through the
Garden of Eden, to the Methodist Church !;
that will altogether depend upon the wishes
of the landowners. We understand, how
ever, that they are inclined to favor the
project, as iti will at once open up a large
amount of unproductive land to settlement,
| a matter, when we take into consideration
| the enormous taxes assessed, Of no small
| importance. Should there be a street laid
out, we hope it will be wide, aud properly
| improved, as its location will render it an
important thoroughfare.
In order to insure a speedy construction
fthe road, it will be necessary for the peo-
| pie of Walnut Hills to act with promptness
1t is of the greatest Importance, and we hope
great liberality will be extended to the Rail.

the slaves OF rebels absolutely and
yncondtionally free. The conserva-
tive papers OF the country are divided
upon lt--though even those who sup
port it seem to entertain doubts as to
it's propriety and beneficial result
We have supported the act Of Con-

gal machinery for determining wheth.
er it is properly captured, and wheth.
er the owner has consented to 10 in
snrectionary use. We have done
this for two reasons; first, because o
negro who is armed, or 10 any man.
ner used by his proprietor t0rcarry on
the rebellion, ought to ba subject to
capture as well as a white man; and
secondly, because the act seems so
well guarded that injustice could not
be done under it to loyal masters, but

Now, Congress has passed upon

DEMOCRACY rs REPUBLICANlSM.


We are compelled to do an act
of Justice to the Democratic mem
bers of the board of Supervisors
that we wish were immitated by
the leading Republicans in that
body. 4 committee Of investlga-
ton was appointed at the January
term of the board to investigate
the books and accounts Of the cx.
officials of the county. In the ap'
pointment of this committee the
republicans employed every arti-
flee, and..resorted to every tech:
nicality to thwart the adoption OF
the resolution, or at least to post
pone the time of action. In this
investigation the committee re-
port the books of certain officers
as, not in the county office and
that the probability is there is
no such books in existence as
contemplated by law. Yet they op
pose pressing the investigation.
This committee of investigation
also report that late Democratic
official has in his possession pa
pers bel onging to the county, and
which he refuses to surren-
der. These papers consist of re-
ceipts taken from parties formoney
paid them on judgments obtained
in the Distri ct court
This report of the committee re-
flecting upon the integrity of a
Democratic ex-official instead of
being covered up by the democrat
ic members of the board was
promptly met by resolution from
the democratic side, instructing
the clerk of the district Court to
institute proceedings against the
party implicated for the purpose
of testing the right of possession
in such papers. We do not be-
lieve any of the officers of the
county are guilty Of wrong but
if they are, the democratic men,
bers have purged themselves of
the guilt of their servant, while if
there is wrong on the part of the
Republicans ex-officlals of the
county, then the leaders of that
party on the board have made
that wrong their own, and the
property of themselves and party,
and as such, entitled to their
special guardianship. We repeat
that our convictions are, that all
is right, and that an investigation
is due as we'll to those charged
with wrong as to the people of
the county.
