Ho! for the Ohio.

The Central Railroad Company, at the
meeting of its stockholders yesterday,
adopted the resolutions prepared by the
committee to whom the subject was re-
ferred, published in yesterdays Dis
patch,) instructing the Board of Directors
to enter into modified contract with the
commissioners of the Covingtbn and Ohio
railroad for the purpose of completing that
road. This contract, as we stated yester-
day, reduced the minimum amount re-
quired to be subscribed before the Chesa-
peake ana Ohio Railroad Company shall
be formed to s3,50O,O00. 1t will be rati-
fed by the commissioners, and the com
pany will be in short time formed, and
steps taken to commence the work. Once
in earnest begun, so as to inspire conf
dence in its construction, aid and CO.
operation will be drawn to it, and the
work will as certainly 60 on to the Ohio as
water will run down hill.

nm auxiliary. The Journal, therefore, did
not exercise its usual caution before
making its criticism. The Journal will
doubtless conccde that she Is dead " is
good English; but it will scarcely contend
that she eristS dead" is q synonymous
phrase; or, to quote its own language, that

cit would erist like saying" "To have !"
is also principal verb as we'll as an aux
Hilary, and means "to possess" " He has
been /" is good English but she possesses
eristed" would not pass for its equiva-
lent in this region. The Journal will
see that its argument is based upon
the idea that "being" in the phrase
ais being built" is principal verb,

"The same author" whoever the Journal
a!ludes to] that made the wonderful dis
covery upon which the Journals argument
is based should at least learn the differ
ence between an auxiliary verb and q
principal verb before issuing second edi-
ton Of his book. The common sense Of
mankind rejects such bubbles as the one
we are exposing without even knowing
why. The proposition that "JuiH cannot
in any connection express an action now in
progress'' is absurbd 1t is an exploded
idea. Nine-tcnths Of the newspaper and
periodical writer's Of the day maintain the
very reverse to be true. We do not set
forth any new doctrines. We merely de-
lend the custom Of the best writer's and
speakers Of the present day and we shall
not quarrel with any writer who prefers
the Anticipated style, provided he shall not
attempt to throw discredit upon the mo-
dern.

BEING BuILT.-The Norfolk Journal
replies to our criticism upon Professor
Holiness grammar. The force of its argu-
ments may be inferred from the following
paragraph, which contains the Journals
strongest point:
"The same author remarks that is
being is equivalent to IS. He, she, or it is,
or is being, or is existing. Built cannot in
any connection, he proceeds to say, ex-
press an action, or the suffering of an
action, nop in progress. Being means
ert$t'ny, and TO say the house is beng
1uiN Is to say the house is existing
oaaA, which excludes the idea Of pro-
greSslve and incomplete action, which the
expression the house is building conveys"
We would inform the Journal that "to
be (" is not only an essential verb but is
an auxiliary one. "To exist" is not an
auxiliary verb. "To exist" is equivalent
to "to be :" when the latter is used as an
essential verb, but not when it is used as

France and Europe.

A recent pamphlet put forth in France
has attracted much notice, and is attri-
buted to NAPOLEON himself, or to some
pen guided by him. 1t is said to be very
able, and decidedly Napoleonic in its tone
and opinions. 1t is chiefly devoted to the
discussion Of the German question, and
regards the unification of Germany as
completed. Germany" it says, ais
made" and in substance frankly admits
that France is not able, and ought not if
she were able, to prevent the complete
unity of the Fatherland.
The pamphlet declares that the tempo
raj power of the papacy must not be
abandoned. 1t says:
"The Convention Of the 18th Of Sep
tember is not last halting- place towards
the complete absorption of the temporal
papacy by united Italy. 1t is an impassa-
ble barrier placed between the temporal
power and its assailauts by the evident
necessity of things, the secular logic Of
facts, and, lastly, by the energetic will Of
the Emperor Napoleon ILL.,"
To these two points the pamphlet adds a
third, that the progressive development
aof the liberal ideas contained in the
"letter Of January l9, 1861" is to be car
ried out.
Much is hoped for from the European
Congress soon to assemble. The general
tone of the publication is conciliatory. 1t
assumes that if Europe listens to France
there will be long reign of peace, and
concludes thus:
"Perhaps in 1867 Europe, taught in the
school Of misfortune and wearied by SO
much fruitless agitation, eager for peace,
may be happy to hear the same voice (the
Emperor's) again say to her now, 1t is
necessary that I should be listened to, for

THANKSGIVING Day.

We extract from the New York Tribune
the following very accurate explanation OF
the manner of the observance of Thanks
giving day" by at least large portion OF
the people of New England The Tribune
gives pretty sketch Of the family reiinions
and rejoicipgs that take place Oh that day
such as we have on our own dear Christmas
holiday-aad proceeds to set forth that this
happy feature is not the main purpose OF
the day, but merely an incident" and
then expounds the grand Puritan intention
Of its institution from? the times Of GROIN
WELL to the present day. as follows:
"The gathering of relatives and friends
is only an incident of q day dedicated to
gratitude. As Cromwell called his Puri-
tan soldiers together after every victory to
praise God, who had strengthened their
arms, so the old Pilgrim settlers OF New
England babe their descendants assemble
every twelve months, after the lab2rS OF
the field were over and the harveStS were
gathered, to thank Heaven for its bounty
and protection during the past years strife
with the world and the devil. And if ever
we have had good cause, amid the pleasant
social customs OF the day, to keep It's rell-
gious observance in mind, we have surely
had it during the last SIX or seven years,
when We have been lighting harder tight
with the world and the devil than Crom-
well or the Pilgrims ever fought, and have
been sustained lii hours of fear and dam
ger by that divine support which is never
lacking to good cause. The battle Tor
freedom and equal rights has been long
and terrible one but at every recurrence
of Thanksgiving day, from the dark be-
ginning of the war, through all the years
of bloodshed and disaster, we have been
able to look back with gratitude to signal
merceS in the preceding year, and bright
CLEANS of the favor Of Heaven breaking
through the clouds Of SORROW"
This is the most admirable aud opposite
definition Of Puritan thankSgiVing-all for
this world. Tho gains-the trumphs-
the Affections OF foes-and the bcseechings
for further triumphs over their enemies,
and further Affections Of them, as, being
their enemies, SO are they the Lords. And
thus they assume that they are fighting the
world and the devil When such prayers
are offered up, the devil, so far from being
aggriered and discounted, is, with his
lah snugly ensconsed in his trousers, and
n's cioven feet hidden in shoes made at

FROM CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, March l6

CHICAGO, March l6.
A large and enthusiastic meeting Of the
Feniaa Brotherhood was held last evening on
Clark street. The hall was filled so full that
not another person seemingly could gain ad
mittance. The platform, besides holding
speakers, was occupied by the Chicago Fenian
Regiment and the Northwestern band. The
President of the Irish kepablic, W. 4.
Roberts, appeared upon the platform at
o clock, and his appearance was greeted with
most vociferous and prolonged applause.
The soldiers were marshaled rank before
rank, nearly covering the platform, all dressed
in uniform and armed. Speeches were made
by Mr.. Roberts and A. L. Morrison. Upon
the conclusion of Mr.. Morrison's appeal for
volunteers there was perfect rush of enthu.
siastic lrishmen upon the stage, each one ap-
pearing TO strive to be first to respond to the
call AID enroll himself !. feuian volunteer.
The rush was so great for a few moments
that it was found impossible for dozen men
to take their names, and in the emergency it
was found expedient to march all the volun>
teers down into the lower hall. The number
was not less than three hundred. They were
almost wild with enthusiasm as they took the
oath of allegiance to the Irish Republic and
became members of its army. An appeal
wns then made Tor money to equip these men,
and about one thousand dollars was sub
scrbed on the spot.

gates from the South are arriving in Wash

views Of the President on the Reconstruction
Bill Gov. jenkins, of Georgia, the head Of
the delegation from that State, will soon be
here, and among other important questions
involved in the operation of the bill, to which
he will call the attention of the Administra-
ton. is the reputation of the State debt.
Since the close of the war the Georgia Leg
slature passed law paving the old debt Of
the State by the issue OF new bonds, which
being issued under the authority Of the pres
ent State Government, declared to be illegal
by the bill, are now worthless. All Of the
Southern States pre now IN the same predic-
ament as they have also issued bonds in the
same manner.
The Tribune special says it is generally
believed that there will be no nomination
sent to the Senate at present for Naval Officer
for New York. Mr.. Franklin will therefore
hold the place. 1t is understood that Thur
low Weed effected this when last in Wash
ington. One or two of the applicants now
here assert that the President has positively
promised to send a nomination to the Senate
for that purpose before Congress adjourns.
The Herdld's special says the system of
charges against another issue Of government
bonds and securities is such that it would
require colusion between five different off.
cials through whose hands they pass, and by
each Of whom they are counted, 10 accom-
plish it. As there is not evidence Of this,
