ROCK CREEK.
REMARKs BY THE THE EDITOR.

REMARKS BY THE THE EDITOR.
The farmers, says "ROek Creek"
cannot see that q railroad running
through the towns on the river will
benefit Glen Rock; and asks If 1--WE
did not draw up the article restricting
the company TO take the river route
or no aid" While we are in favor of
any and all roads running through the
county, wears nevertheless more in
terested in the shortest and most direct
lines TO the eastern market. Not con-
sidering the Trunk road one of the
most direct, we have not considered it
so important TO the interests Of the
county as some others. Still we have
and do favor any reasonable means
which will secure fits early completion
through the county. In accordance
with this feeling very extensively en-
tertained by q citizens, a railroad
convention was called to meet at
Brownville. ftROck Creek" will rec
olect that the call was published in the
AdUertiser two weeks, inviting a dele
CATION from each precincti in the cOun-
". That convention was held, as pre-
viousIy advertised. We were not a
delegate, nor had we anything to do
with it's deliberations. That conven-
ton decided TO ask aid for the river
route, mentioning each town on the
river. So "ROck Creeks viii see that
the convention, and not the Editor,
fixed the route. sT
That convention appointed a COM
mittee to present the matter before the
County Commissioners, and made us
chairman Of said COMMITTEES. Now,
whatever article we wrote, was pursu-
ant to the action of that convention,
and not dictated by our own cOnvfc-
tons. We were then, and are now,
willing that those points be left ont /;
but we would be just Is certain that
the route then would be up the river,
as we are now.
Crock Creek must understand one
thing, that it f. money and nOtnatural
routes that secure the location OF rail-
roads. And he, and all Others, must
understand another thing. that $1s2,-
600 will not build the road IN either
place; that the locality that secures
the road viii have to pay at least
another 100000 before it is built
through the county. H18T ASH
'sThe majority in Glen Rock say it
would not be right to compel them to
pay for building q road through other
portions Of the county, of which they
receive no corresponding benefit"
Just 80. We grant it. But have the
other portions Of the county which
must pay 10 get the road, no defence
for such q course. Let as see. They
say that when the read is completed
the county win assess the road 81
other roads are assessed in the State,
at $1,000 per mile, and thirty miles
would make $4,000. Then they
would levy a county tax, 3 school tax,
q State tax, school house and district
taxes, poor house taxes, university
taxes, dc, all for your benefit as much
as theirs, and they would reply that il
is not just and proper that theyshOUld
be compelled to pay $4,000 to build
the road 20 be taxed As much for your
benefit as theirs.
Finally, we say that we do not ex-
pect the people Of Glen Rock, or those
Of any other precinct. to pay this tax,

COMMENTs BY The TRIBUNE.

The World speaks of this as If it
were new dodge, when it is a fact
worn threadbare. It was tried at
Chicago in 1854, when Gen Mcclellan
was nominated for President on a
platform so cOpparhead that even he
protested It, It was tried again in
1885, wheE the Democratic ticket was
headed by SlOcum-AOne of the four
great Generals of the War; as The
World assured Its readers. &c was
tried again last Bail with Frank
Blair and again resulted d~isastrOusly,

lafion that those who can't stOmaehe
their platform viii yet swallow IL for
the sake Of one Of their candidates.
The World ought 70 instruct and edi-
.fy its readers with SteFne's story Of

their sulky mule get on by having
the naughty words by which the
m~uIeteers were accustomed 10 ineite
him TO ~lOcOmOti0n. The experiment
proved a melancholy failure, az inthe
case Of the Democracy. They tried it
thoroughly, each in turn prOnOuneing

The Sham Democracy Of Ohio have
just eoneOeted aCOpperhead platform
and nominated thereon a loyal Union
soldier, Gen. Rosecrans, for Governor.
The World thinks this a remarkably
nice arrangement, and eulOgizes il in
the following terms:
The Democracy Of Ohio have opened h cir
campaign by a stroke so bold as 70 be almost
startling: but fSisas tudiciOusas 10 Is daring.
It requires some effort 10 adjust the immagi-
nation TO the fact THAI the Democrats Of Ohio
have decided to run Gen ROsecrans as their
candidate for Governor. II Is q remarkable
sacrifice Of prejudice and resentment In the
pursuit Of a desirable end. IL shows that the
politics Of state are passing into an era.
Gen. Rosecrans Is a Bridge on which tens Of
thousands Of Ohio citizens can easily pass
over into the Democratic parry; and the
platform Just adopted r. wen caleulated to-
keep b party steady and unanimous In the
support OF 50 bold ticket Those who feel

pensatiOn in the platform. and rice Usrsa

other that's possible under b ~eircumstan-

General ROsecrans Of the Union
army, as PaFadOxieal as it may appear,
is the nominee of the Ohio Democracy
for Governor Of the State. This
was not accomplished without a de-
termined opposition. PendletOn was
evidently the choice Of the convention.
Not careing 10 encounter an ignOmin-
iOus defeat, he took good the Precau-
ton 70 provide q leading man in the
convention with ateIegram, perempt-
Orily refusing to stand the canvass for
Governor In any event. So his name
was Withdrawn by the chair, under
protest Of many of the members, who
declared that PendletOn had no option
in the matter, but that he must be
nominated and make the canvass, II it
did carry the party to destruction.
but the policy system prevailed, and
General Rosecrans is now before the
Democracy Of Ohio for their sufTra-
ges.
As TO how his nomination was re-
eeived we clip the following from the
St Louis Republican.

This routine of days, the beginnings
and endings of centuries, is repeated ev-
cry 400 years, from which there is no
variation. If, therefore. Washington
died on the last Saturday in tie last cen
turv, he died on the 9th of December;
but if he died on the last day of the CEN
fury, he did not die on Saturday, as it
has been so often stated; but on W ednes-
day He was born on Friday, if the
date of his birth be correct.
