The Appeal to the Supreme Court.

The State of Mississippi appeals to the
Courts to avert the execution of the Recon
struction measures of Congress. What is to
be the effect Of this application, we arc, of
course, unable to say. It has been thought
that questions purely political would not be
entertained by this tribunal. Whether it
does or not, VIC have not much confidence in
tho proceeding. Congress has the power
has control of the army-and will pay not the
slightest attention to the decisions of the
Court, even if they shall be adverse to its policy
and measures. In our opinion, the Supreme
Court, nor any other worldly power can save
us the pains and labors Of reconstruction, un.
der the recent laws enacted by Congress.

"Out of $4,000 arrivals at this port du.

their intention of settling in the South, while,
on the other hand, the Westward tide coutin-
ues as great as ever. We have no doubt that
this may, in slight degree, be attributed to
the small effort mnde by the Southern States,
in comparison with the Western, to attract
emigration but it is owing in much larger
measure to the unsettled condition of affairs
in the South. Free political institutions, or.

opportunities Of labor, arc the great attrac.

TRUE.--There is more money to
be made--and in a thoroughly hon.
est and legitimate manner-in one
manufacturing establishment than in
shaving notes, putting money in bank
stock, investing it in q. S. Bonds, OF
in any way which does not produce
something. Besides it helps your
town, your county, and gives emp 10y
ment to laboring men, thus increas-
ing population. When will we look
upon the manufacturing interests OF
Hancock county in the right light
We pay TO foreign manufactures
hundreds of thousands of dollars each
year. If we would 60 to manufac
turing, as we ought to do, we would
retain money here that now goes
abroad, besides drawing from other
places greenbacks to almost any ex.
tent. We have the capital here-all
we lack is the enterprise on the part
of our capitalists to invest. Who
makes the first move to increase the
manufacturing interests of the cOun'

WOULD Nor RECEIVE HER.--We
learn that a woman who was entirely
helpless, arrived at Carey one day
this week and expressed a desire to
go to Amanda tp., where she claimed
to have friends. A purse was made
up by the passengers on the Branch
train, sufficient to pay her railroad
fare and trifle over. When she go!
to Vanlue the citizens refused to al.
low her to get off and the Conductor
of the train had to bring her to Find.
lay. What became OF her after she
arrived here We do not know. Her
reasons for wishing to GO to her
friends in Amanda tp., were that she
had been badly trested by her hus-
hand, and turned out of doors.
From appearance she was evidently
a worthy object of charity.

RAILRoAD.-What Is being done
to advance our interests in the pro-
posed Railroad from Toledo to Co

We should not lag behind in this
matter. Our citizens must know that
the future prosperity or comparative
death of Findlsy depends upon the
success or failure of securing that
route through our county. Then
let US do all in our power to advance
its interests, and to make it to the
interest of the corporation to include
this place in the route.
We find the following in the Col
umbus Journal of Tuesday last:
THE CoLuMBUs AND TOLEDO RAIL.
RoAD.-We yesterday had the pleas
ure of meeting Mr.. Waite, the Chief
Engineer on the Columbus and To-
ledo Railroad. He has just passed
over the proposed route of the road,
and says that the country will fur
nish as good a local, trade as that pos
sessed by any road In Ohio. He
thinks that the prospects of the road
are very flattering, and that if it is
once built it will be q success. The
survey of the proposed routes will
be commenced Immediately.
P. S. We understand that the
route indicated by the above item, is
the one striking Fostoria, Upper
Sandusky, ect. If Mr.. Waite is fa-
vorably struck with that route We
are certain that he will be perfectly
enchanted by the one passing through
Findlay.
