the fate Of the bill before the Senate alluded
/ to by us in our last. Its friends have mani
testify not pushedit, whether they cannot count
a sufficient number otvotesto pass it, we can
not say, but it strikes us that this cannot be
the reason. We have seen SO much wild leg
islation in favor Of the Central Railroad that
we cannot for a moment hesitate to accord
them majority sufficient to pass any thing
they may demand If the Central Railroad
insists upon aconhnuation of the selfish poll
cy which has characterised it for the last five
years, il viii find the people rising in their
might and placing their emphatic condemna-
ton upon such burdensome and selfish mon
opolis. IF the question of Free Railway Sys-
tenn were submitted to the people Of this Rep
resentative district, there would not be a
eorporals guard against the proposition out
side of those in the employ of the railroad.
And the conduct of the Central Company is
rapidly driving the people to this last alterna-
tive and when the masses oneemove, woe unto
him who stands in the way of the sovereigns.
The people in this county, and all along the
contemplated line Of the road, should hold
meetings without delay and express them
selves upon the subject, and forward their ac-
ton to the Senate, if not in time for the ac-
ton Of that body, in time at least to make
an impression on the Governor and induce
him to withhold his signature and return the
bill to the House, where it originated, with
his objections. Let us realize now that if
we allow the Central Company to pass this
bill and the bill to become law, that we are
tied up for the next ten years, that the mil
lions Of money, which would be expended in
the construction and the stocking Of the road,
viii not be expended, that the benefit which
would be diffused to every individual by the
expenditures of so much money on the line,
win not be experienced; that property which
would be enhanced in value beyond conjec-
ture will not be advanced but recede; that our
mineral resources viii not be developed;
that the villages and towns which always fol-
low railways, viii not be built, and conse-
quently the value of the products of the farm
an d the dairy viii not be in demand, that all
the advantages of heavy population viii not
be reaped, and the railway, which all somuch
desire, viii not be built. Then in the name
Of Justice, let our people act. 0verwhelm
our Representatives and Senators at the cap
itol with your letters and petitions. Recolleet
that millions are at stake. Remember that

The LADY's FRIEND FOR APRII.--In the
steel plate for this number, Waking, we
find the usual superiority maintained by this
magazine, for exquisite naturalness and high
artistic finish. It is sweet heart-picture of
waking endearments between mother and
child; the clear sunrise streaming through
the broidering vines about the lattice and
lighting up the scene-morning light and
morning life, both pure, both fragrant with
the breath of heaven. The fashion plate is
as unsurpassed. We sometimes wonder how
it is that the publishers invariably secure this
point Even when the same artists have been
at work there seems to be an unconscious
fayoritism that reserves for The Lady's
Friend their best efforts and most signal sue
cesses. Very appropriately in this April
number the children, spring buds of men and
women, have it all to themselves, and an un-
commonly pretty, graceful group they make
The wood cut illustrating "The Forsaken
Wife" is full of tragic pathos; awinter scene.
