Railroad Management.

The Cincinnati Gazette is greatly
disguised with the quarrels among
railroad men ID New York aud IL e
rascalities made public by them. 1t
thinks the people in the country
should take steps TO put a stop to
their swindling operations, and sug-
gests the following plan to secure
that result:
The first step outside, 10 the Girec-
ton of reform, or self protection,
should be taken by the Legislatures
of the several States. Laws should
be passed requiring railroad compa-
nies to close their transfer Offices in
New York city. Ohio has jurisdic-
ton over several corporations, which,
though located In this State, and
nominally managed here, are actually
managed in New York city. This
would in a great measure, defeat the
gambling propensities of railroad
managers and take away from New
\ Ork operators much of the power
they exercise over the money market
Why should the management of the
Pittshurg, Eft. Wayne Il Chicago; the
Michigan Southern; the Cleveland 4
Toledo; the Cleveland IL Pittsburg
the OHIO & Mississippi; the Cleve-
land Il Erie; the Cleveland, Columbus
Y Cincinnati Railroads, be located in
New York? The managers have no
sympathy with the people of Ohio
They care nothing for the local in
terests of the State. Their object is
to use the roads to make money for
themselves. They put rates up and
down to suit their speculative inter
ests, and they use the money of the
corporations for their own purposes
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1868-11-30
Another Job.

Congress, at its coming session,
will be besieged with all kinds of
schemes and jobs for 1ilching money
out of the public Treasury. Some
are large and some are small. There
will be railroad schemes and whisky
schemes. Schemes for building forts,
and schemes for improving harbors.
1t is hardly to be expected that Con-
gressmen will be able to resist all the
ordinations which will be brought to
bear on them, and we shall not be sur
prised to hear of the passage of some
of the most Ubiquitous measures. The
Springfield (Mass.) Republican speci-
fes one of the Jobs " that will come
prominently before that body:
1.-THE Atlantic & Pacific Railroad
in Missouri, going southwest through
that State, via Springfield and Rolla,
and seeking extension TO the Pacific
through New Mexico and Arizona,
has Joined forces with the Kansas
Pacific Road, and together they are
seeking, first the Endorsement of Mis-
souri, 10 their plans, and next a grand
land an money grant OF Congress, by
which both roads will be enabled to
go to Albuquerque, New Mexico, on
independent routes, and there join IN
n single route through to the Pacific.
The Kansas Pacific Road also pro-
poses to build on to Denver, as well
as turn south to New Mexico, and by
the former route also make through
connection over the Central Pacific
Road There are large Philadelphia
and Boston interests involved in these
schemes, and with the backing Of
Missouri and Kansas, their success i
confidently predicted. "
The Pittsburg Commercial says
The Interests involved " are repre-
sented by the managers Of the Penn
sylvania Central, Mr. DURANT, of tn
Union Pacific, Mr.. ADIEs, contracto
on the same, and others of that road
who have kindly consented to assis
the rev combination. We have no
seen it stated how many hundre
millions they have made in the worl
which is drawing to completion, no
how many millions more they wit
their new associates will make if til
new scheme works.

nois. Can you, will you, quietly. fold

cally, belongs toyou2 1t seems to me
that road from your place to Gray

be built from your place to GRANVILLE

by going up the E. & G. Road to nea

Editors Journal.
As Gen. Grant beat the rebels too
badly for it to be funny, the people
hereabouts seem to have almost en-
tirely forgotten politics, and we have
turned our attention to the advance
ment of our Railroad AID other in
terests.
For several months there has been
pending proposition for our town to
subscribe twenty-five thousand dol
lars to the capital stock of the e., III.
& N. r. X. In this we have at last
succeeded. The contract to complete
the tract of the road from its present
| terminus into town has been let out
to our townsman, W. w. Phipps, who
went to work on it this morning.
We hope under his energetic oper-
atoms to have the trains run into
town by Christmas. We think we
can count on this if the weather stays
open for a few weeks. Gen. Boyle
was here on Saturday, in regard to it,
and there was in company with him,
the capable and ener9etic President
of the E. & G. R.R., Mr.. John Ingle,
of your city.
Our town has greatly improved
under the impetus given to it by the
approach of the railroad, and besides
our elegant Court House, splendid
Jail, and large Touring mill, | suppose
more than fifty new houses have been
erected In the last year, or are now in
course of erection.
/ Our splendid farming lands yielded
fine crops during the last Summer,
and corn In great abundance can be
bought az thirty to thirty five cents.
Most of the wheat has been moved
and sold at nearly two dollars, but |
guess those who didn't sell then, could
hardly get one dollar and half per
bushel now.
The tobacco market is just opening,
and from present indications prices
will be quite remunerative to farmers,
though precisely what those prices
will be is hard to tell.
Hogs, too, are rather scarce, and
some talk of sales at z cents gross,
| but | think this can not last long, but
that or q nett will, ere long, be the
ruling price.
AS corn is abundant, nothing but
the scarcity of hogs here would make
pork even so high as q cents.
Truly, EDELwEIs.
2. 81 see a paragraph going the
rounds of the papers, stating that
| Major Lochart was In HOpklnsvllle
endeavoring to get subscription of
stock by the town to the E., FL. & N.

but for the bad influence of the
Major, the probabilities are that the
