The Blue Ridge Railroad.

The report of the Chief Engineer Of the
Blue Ridge Railroad Company, published
with the proceedings of the late meeting of
stockholders, gives satisfactory account
Of the condition Of the work already done
upon the road. During the long abandon
ment Of the undertaking, the road has suf-
fered but little, aside from the ordinary
wasting Of earthwork long exposed to the
weather; while by the undermining Of ma
sonry, the breaking OF embankments by
freshets, and the falling Of the roofs Of the
tunnels, but little damage has been done.
A remeasurement Of the work required to
complete the road is being made, and within
few weeks the exact cost Of finishing the
line to Clayton and the North Carolina line.

In another column of this paper will

dered him by a majority Of the delegates
at the late senatorial convention. This
leaves the track clear, and no regular re.
publican nominee in the field. Mr.. Com
stock of HUDSON, we understand, is still
rHnning-a sort Of miscellaneous, repub
Iican, independent candidate. We haven't
heard that he is getting any decided sup
port outside of the city Of Hudson. lie
is emphatically Hudson candidate.
By the Withdrawal of Mr.. FIEIELD,
the nomination Of n candidate falls upon
tie Republican Central Committee OF
this senatorial district. 1t is about the
eleventh hour and no move has been
made in that direction as yet, Possibly,
if another candidate were placed in the
field, it would ensure the defeat of both
republicans and elect IVES. For this
reason it may be better policy TO give
Mr.. CoMsTocK a clear ira, K, if be insists
on running, and let him win if he can.

Dec!syedgu BiEg-iOwS

One day this week HARRY CLEMENTS
started on little tour in the g suburbs"
to collect few bills against Owen Per
sous who l:ved along the road Some
how he took the wrong road and got lost
about four miles from town. After wan
dering up and down many a weary hour,
to no purpose, lie laid the fault of miss
ing bis way TO bis buggy-so he left the
innocent vehicle by the roadside and tried
it horseback. Becoming more lost than
ever, he concluded the horse was to
blame and he straightway tied him to a
tree aud went on afoot. BY diligent
search and miles of travel he found bis
brother GEORGES threshing machine, en-
quired bis way, and came home all right.
When it is remembered that Dir. c..
ia one of our oldest residents, and per
fectly familiar with the country for miles
around, this is, ndeel, a singular clrcum
stance. He must have been partially
deranged, and, if so, we are partly re,
sponsible. A few days ago we gave
HARRY a few bills, (hey formerly be
longea TO Lutte TAYLoR) for collection
hence his insanity. If it will not dive
man crazy to collect them, he is strong
er-miuded than Suke Anthony or "any
other man."
And we would say those creditors that
if they wish to benefit the human race
while on earth aud improve their chances
for heaven, if they desire to keep two
young men out of the poor house, and a
third from the.insane asylum, pay those
little bills.
P. S.-Dr. CoTroN diagnosed aud
pronounced it n clear case of bilious in-
sanl,y. Our opinion exactly. What
t rfible crimes some people will have
to an.wet for at Tic Judgment bar !

A CARD.

To the Republicans of tie 2sth Senatorial Dis
trict.
The history of the late Republican
Senatorial Convention is now before you
How we were defeated is an unsettled
question and one which We care not to
anwser. After due reflection. we have
decided that it is best for The Republi-
can party, for oursclf, aud all concerned
to withdraw from the campaign entirely,
and not be candidate before the people.
Thanking our friends one and all for
the gallant struggle made in our behalf,
and trusting that in the future we may
be able to serve them as well aud faith
fully, we remain still worker in the
ranks of the old Republican party as

Fraudulent Nominations.

The telegiaphic announcement that
Hon. John Comstock, of Hudson, was
nominated by the Republican convention
ton at Hudson, Tor the senatorial candid
ate for Pierce, st. Croix, Polk aud Lake
Superior counties, was incorrect; as we
learn that every republican newspaper in
those counties, Except Taylor's Hudson
paper,) has raised The name of Sam. S.
Fifield, Jr., as the candidate who receiv-
ed twenty six of the filty-one votes cast
on the informal and formal ballots, as
appears by the nffidavits of the delegates
who cast twenty-six of the fifty votes,
which were fraudulently counted. The
Tay'or and Comstock men broke up the
convention before the delegates could
have an opportunity to expose the fraud.

ErrGfaslll.

In an item last week giving the pre-
miums, etc., awarded at Mr.. MULTER's
writing school, the compositor made an err
ror by rendering JOSEPHINE T. Cook the
first premium, when it should have read,
best penman, as it was in the copy. The
error seems to have caused some nisun
derstanding among the scholars, which
has resulted in a communication being
sent us on the subject. AS the error was
our own, we trust the above explanation
will clear Mr.. Muller from all blame in
the matter, and render needless the pub.

The Rival Candidates.

There are two candidates running for
the Office of county school superintendent,
Mr.. B. N. MINER the republican nomin-
ee, and Mr.. CnAs. SMITH, independent
candidate. Either Of these gentlemen is
well qualified fer the Office. Mr.. SMITH
is law student and was admitted to the
bar a short time since. The only mater
ial difference we can see between the re-.
spectivc candidates is, that MINER is a
republican and Smith is democrat. Mr..
MINER was nominated by nearly unan
imous vote in the republican convention.
Mr.. SMITH was secretary of the democrat
ic county convention, delegate to and sec
rotary of, the democratic senatorial con
vention.
Republicans, choose We between the
candidates.

The GoyERNoR's SALARY.-One OF
the questions before the people, upon
which they must pass judgment at the
next election, is the amendment to the
constitution raising the salary of the
Governor to 5000, AMI that of the
Lieut.. Governor to $1,000 per annum.
When we consider that these sums are
payment in full for all services, and in.
clude all expenses, they are, by no
means: extravagant. Heretofore, the
people of this great state have paid their
Governor the munifcent salary Of 81, $50
a year for his services. Of course, there
are perquisites to increase that amount
But the amendment cuts off all perquis
ties and gives him decent living salary
And again if we fix the Governors sal
cry at $4,000, all Of us curious Yankees
who delight in prying into everybody's
business, can see at glance just how
much His Exelloncy gets to the last cent.
There's great deal in that. We sup.
port the amendment.
