pointment, the president said that there was bat
one obstacle in the way, and that was that COL
Parker, being an Indian, was not citizen of tho

A BIC RAILROAD MOVEMENT What Erie Pro
proses for Cincinnati and Dayton.-The Cincin-
natl Commercial of the 30th nit. says: Now that
Railroad by the Erie Is not likely to be carried
into effect there is strong probability that Erie,
with lite usual push, will build road of its own
from Cincinnati to Dayton. The chief engineer OF
the road arrived here yesterday from the East, to
laborers in the field by the middle Of April.
II has been stated In New York that Gould had
declared his purpose Of having road between
Cincinnati and Dayton inside OF sixty days. 1t is
likely that the Erie will join with the Marietta in
entering the city through Millcreek Valley. Mr..
Gould 10 expected here to-day.
