IN your issue Of the 5th Inst, you
.efer toa speech Of John A. Reitz,
he charges that I own a part
Or portion Of the Cd Straight Line
Railroad. I most positively deny the
charge, and defy John a Reitz or
any one else TO produce any paper
an interest in said road to
me. I have called upon Mr.. Reitz,
and he denies making the assertion
attributed to him by the JOURNAL,
&. e.) that be had seen the papers
transferring an interest in the road to
me-
I most sincerely wish I did or could
own it, ard Chat l had the means to
finish it, aud / hope l nay I've to see
the day when return eason Will
cause every citizen 70 IS regrets
for the folly that 50 @e deprived
them of the blessings ta ciwill GER
tainly enure to them upon lie COM
pletion of the road
The building of the Straight Line
Railroad has been the pet seIlfnle of
my life, and the only one 10 which L
ever failed, and | shall neve7' cease to
haunt. this community ike a ghost
until / see the completion of the road.
The building of this road has thus
far been disastrous to this cOmmun-
ity, but from 40 fault Of mine, and
contumely has been heaped upon me
for its failure, and q loss entalled
upon our city, in the killing Of the
road, in much greater amount than
it would. have cost to build it.
Is it not natural that under these
circumstances, i should feel interested
in seeing it completed? Mr.. Chand-
Ter told the citizens, two years ago, to
let the road alone two years and they
would get it for nothing, and save two
hundred thousand dollars by it.
Within t5CO or three short months
from thar time the.small sum Of aiglet2i-
SIC thousand dollars was thrown away
by our city, ia futher endeayor to kill
the road. You may rest assured that
notsone dime of that $685. 600 was ever
fingered by me. And | did every
thing in my power possible. to pre-
vent the. payment Of 1t. And Mr..
Reitz may put that in his pipe and
| smoke II. WILLARD CARPENTER.
