RAILROAD Oh NO RAILROAD.

There is no necessity of repeating ,h
many arguments in favor of railroad
connecting Carson and Virginia. TIL
most perverse and obtuse must admi
that our town will soon sink into ute
decay if we are to remain cut off from
the outside business world. And now
as we shall proceed to show, the AS
sumption INDUCED in in some quarter!
that the " Bank will build the railroad
anyhow" comes to be shorn of it:
force as an argument against the pro
posed donation of bonds. We have be-
fore Us letter from Mr.. Sharon, in
which he states that in the event of a
refusal upon the part of Ormsby County
to comply with the proposition already
made, it is the intention of the pro
jectors of this road to abandon its con
s,ruc,ion and build, instead, roau
north from Virginia to the Truckee,
connecting With the Central Pacific.
This puts new face upon the mat
ter and leaves us TO determine for
ourselves whether we shall or shall
not have a railroad. We pat the matter
to our readers just as it comes 10 us !:
leaving those most interested to deter
mine upon the course best to be pur-
sued Itwould seem that this is CUES
ton which must be very speedily de-
termiued. Ii affords rs much satisfac
ton to ieel assured as we do, however,
that already more than one half, and
maybe two thirds Of the registered
voters of Ormsby County have signed
the petition 10 the Legislature asking
the passage of the required Act.
