Relation 90 Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Matters.
We have not seen any of the proceed
ings had at the Convention, in Grafton.
on last Friday week, Nov. sOth, in rela-
ton to grievances against the Baltimore
road, save short report in the Fair
mont Vedette, from which we can
scarcely gather more than that the Con
vention met and adjourned. The meet
ing does not seem to have been largely
attended. Delegates were present from
Piedmont, Rowlesburg, Cranberry
Summit, Grafton, West Union and Fair
mont. ]. n. Boyd was Chairman, and
L. B. Perry, Secretary. From the re
port in the Vedette, we make the follow
ing extract:
The chairman stated the object of the
meeting to be to secure concert of ac.
ton on the part Of all interested in OBJ
tanning relief from the burdens impos-
ed by the Railroad Company. He stat
ed that the preparation of an elaborate
documents in the form of a memorial to
the Legislature, setting forth the grfev-
ances complained OF by the peopie
along the4ine of the Road, and asking
legislative action on the subject, was
one suggestion proposed by the Fair
mont merchants. Another was to
form combination of merchants to
counteract the lobbying influence of
tect shall be brought before the Legis-
lature. Mr.. Davis. OF Piedmont, Col,
Latham and one or two other gentle
men spoke in defense of the Road, and
denied the power of the Legislature to
interfere in the matter. Mr.. McCor-
mick, of West Union, stated that the
merchants of that place could shin
goods from Baltimore to Parkersburr
thence back to West Union, cheaper
than to have t0en shipped direct and
that the fare for travel from his place to
Wheeling was IS, ,25, while from Park
ersburg, (ffty miles beyond) to Wheel
ing, it was the same. Similar state
Fatrmont and Grafton. a lengthy de-
bate ensued on the best means TO OBJ
tain redress from the grievances.
II. g. Davis, of Piedmont, offered the
following resolutions: :Lt
ReSOiUed, That committee of five be
appointed to inquire into the grievan-
ces, real or supposed, that may be felt
by the citizens along the line Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and to
confer with the officers. OF the road with
view to their correction, or to take
such action as they may think best in
the case.
Mr.. Mccormick offered as an amend
ment, that, If there be any real griev.
ances which the officers of the road re-
fuse or fail to redress, then the COM
mittee appointed shall bring the same
to the attention of the next Legislature.
The amendment was lost, and the
Or-,-nal resolution adopted.
On motion the Chairman was in
structed to appoint the committee.
On motion of Mr.. Davis, the Chair
man was madea member Of the COM
mittee by the meeting.
The Chair filled up the committee by
appointing the following gentlemen,

frREe...A Specimen of the Letters
Received by iIs Editors.
The Chicago Times continues to pub.
lish numerous letters from its Demo-
cratic friends-past and present-in re-
gard to its new recipe for killing the
Republican party. Some of these
might be considered datteriug 10 the
editor of the journal that has, by so
wonderful somersault, suddenly be-
come an ardent supporter of negro
equality, but others, and by far the
larger part, are decidedly the reverse of
this. The following extracts are anus
ing:
L. s. Calkins, of Ell Paso, Illinois,
writes:
"You seem to be afraid that there
will be some one that will not know
what an ass you have made of yourself
in deserving the Democratic party.
You doubtless expect to get up another
martyr excitement by calling yourself
one; but the day for martyrs has gone
by. But they need a few more of your
stamp in the internal regions TO use as
firemen, and you will make a good one.
You are on the right road to hell, and
if you do not alter your course you
will bring up there when you get ready
to shuttle of this mortal ctil. You are
like deserter in the army-thought
nothing Of by either side."
"Many Democrats" write:
"If 55, 600 radical majority in Illinois

the plantations to exercise iJlteLLigentLy

jority for the same party willit require
to entitle them (the negroes) to associate
with white men on terms ofsocial equal
ity2 Please reply through the columns
of the Times, and oblige."
Thomas Boyle writes:
''I see by your paper of November IS,
that your head has become somewhat
wool-gathering; so you will please to
strike my name from your subscription
list, and oblige William Thos. Boyle"
w. g.. Swartt writes:
"Your dose OF nigger equality-or,
rather, nigger superiority as you would
have it-is more than can swallow.
You certainly made great mistake if
you thought democratic stomach
could bear dose so nauseous as that"

AT q recent meeting Of the Transfers Asso-
citation held in Sacramento City, it was stated
that the road to Idaho by way of Susanville,
was the best, but that if the Government did
not extend protection to it, they would be
compelled to take the Humboldt road by way
of the Truckee. The simplicity of this con
cluson will no donbt excite smile on the
countenauces of those familiar with the coun.
try. For the benefit of the Teamsters Asso.
citation, as we'll as others interested in this
question. we would state, that the road from
Sussnville to Ruby City, where it turns off at
Granite Creek, is distant but sixty miles from
the Humboldt road, and that up to that point
there is no danger from Indians whatever :;
they would therefore make circuit of from
$50 10 200 miles. in the course of which, they
wonld have TO pass over a desert As miles
wide, without water, and when they arrived at
the Lassen meadows would find themselves
but sixty miles distant from the Chico road.
and all the dangerous part of the road before
them. From the points we have mentioned
above, the two roads run nearly parallel for
about hundred miles, and then form juno
tion 10 Queens River valley. This stretch is
by far the most dangerous part of both roads
and so far as danger Of Indians was concerned
there was DO difference between them. But
the recent discoveries in the Black Rock
country, has entirely altered The aspect of the
question. The formation of large mining camps
along the road will afford the most complete
protection to the travel S,isdnriue Sage

EDUCATION IN MExICo.-We have a copy
of the Mexican Times of November 25th,
says the Sacramento Bee, which looks as if
it had run the blockade There is no news
in it, of course not it is published under the
eyes Of what it is pleased to Call sour Demo-
cratic Emperor" But here is al item in the
right direction:
The 1000 900 of Indians and mixed races
IN Mexico are citizens of inc Empire. By
the Provisional Statute of the Realm, they
are entitled to all the rights and privileges of
that Constitution. FroE. them have sprung
many of the brightest and best minds of this
country. They have made the roads, delved
in the mines, held the plough and used the
spade, and built the houses from time mmem.
oral to the present hour. They should not
be neglected. We know our Democratic EN-.
peror will not forget them. Let the school.
master "go abroad through the length and
breadth Of this great Empire. and there let him
remain. Let there be q teacher on every
hacienda, in every rancho, in every village, in
every district of every city. If parents will
not send their children to school, compel them
to do so. as is done in Prussia. Give to every
child in Mexico the key to knowledge. Simply
learn them to read and write, and they will do
the rest themselves. The rising generation
must be educated. State policy urges it,,
christian duty requires it, and God himself will
bless it,
