The street. Railway Again

In addition To the advantage I,
which we alluded in former article
which would result To the city of Wheel
ing from tie construction of street
railway, there are others of much i'm
portance to he found in the terms or the
charter granted in l5G} to Messrs uOHEs
HUBBARD, SWEENEY and Others
One of these is the fact that the Com
pany is bound, at their own expense, TO
keep in good repair all that portion OF
the streets upon which the track is laid
lying within the space of two feet from
the outside of either rail The portion
ofthe street thus kept in repair at private
cost will be between eight and nine feet
in width, and will be the portion of the
street most used and whose repair now
costs the city most. Besides this, the
Company isrequired to lay the track of
their road of such guage asshall be most
convenient for the use OF carriages and
buggies; the track will therefore be used
By nearly all tie vehicles passing
along the street and there will he but
little travel upon the portions of the
street lying Oh either aide By this
means at least hree-fourtbs of the money
now appropriated to repairing the streets
upon which the track will be laid may
be saved to the public treasury, aud the
taxes for this purpose proportionatsly
lesseued
But in addition 10 the saving we have
mentioned, the railway will contribute
directly to the revenue of the city Iu
accordance with the terms IF the char.
ter, the city may assess upon aud collect
from the railway company tax of
twenty-five dollars per year for each car
employed, and the town vi South Wheel
ing is also authorized to. collect five dol,
lars per year for each car. The sums
thus collected will not be very large, it
is true they will not probably exceed
two hundred or three hundred dollars
however small it may be, will relieve
our citizens of just thatamouut of taxa

There are also some advantages to
stockholders secured by the charter,
which we have not heretofore mentioned.

sdse n. Harrison's Case.

The charges preIerreo- py Coi- uouN'
SHELL, of areenbriaf county, against
.Judre N. HARRISON, OF the ninth Judicial
Circuit, have been the common theme Of
conversation during the past few days.
Our neighbor took up the cudgel last
Saturday morning, very slightly in be-
half Of Judge HARRISON, but mainly in
behalf of the Governor who appointed
him; the House Of Delegates that re-
fused to investigate the charges seems to
be left out in the cold" altogether and
is without either apologist or defender
Iu bringing the charges to the no
tice of the House of Delegates, and fur
uishing the names of witnesses, Colonel
HoUNsHELL did all that private citizen
could do or'had auy right to do it was
the duty of the House to "send fer per.
sous and papers and, had it done so, the
probability is that the charges would
proven Indeed they seemed to dread
taking any steps towards investigation,
lest the charges might be proven and some
facts ELECTED damaging to their, party
but they have pursued the very course
which in the estimation of all honest
men will damage them and their party
far more than investigation would, ant
will not benefit HARHsoN's case one par
ticle.
Concerning the truth of the charges
we ourselves know nothing, but, as ma!
be learned from the card published
elsewhere, Colonel HoUNsHELL proposes
to substantiate them by the publication
Of af6davits to be taken az soon as pos
sible. 1t seems scarcely probable that ht

We're without foundation, If it can be

THERE Is No DEATH.

Theresis no death. The stars 20 down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in heavens jewelled crown
They shine forever more
There is no death, The dust we tired
Sh Ill change beneath the summer showers
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted floweri.
The geutle rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the yiewless air.
There is no death. The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through winter hours,
The coming of the May
There is no death An angel form
Walks Ger the earth with silent tread.
He hcars our best loved things away,
And then we call them dead
He leaves our hearts all desolate-
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird like voice whose joyous tones
Made glad this scene of joy and strife,
Sings nUw in everlasting song
Amid the trees of life.
And where He sees smile tee bright,
Or hearts too pure for taint and vice,
He bears it to that world Of lightj
To dwell in para aIise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave US but to come again;
With joy we welcome them the same,
Except in sin and pain.
and ever near Us. though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless Universe
Is life-there are no dead.
