The Hartford County Railroad.

The Railroad continues to be the all-absorb.
ing topic of local interest to the citizens Of
this and the first district of the county. The
subscriptions thus far obtained amount in the
aggregate to the sum of $52, 500 We may re.
mark that these have been obtained almost
entirely from those having an interest in the
upper end of the line. The surveys and loca.
tion not having been yet made, it is thought
inexpedient to canvass along the probable
route to any considerable extent, until that is
done. There are, however, some subscrip-
tions included in the above amount from per-
sons residing nearer to the Philadelphia,
Wilmington & Baltimore Road
Several lines have been canvassed and dis
cussed, and we presume the merits of each
will receive their due share of attention,
when the location comes TO be determined
upon Our friends of the Falston neighbor-
hood are anxious, we learn, that it should take
westward course, so as to bring it to Win
ter's,run, at Archer, Howard & Cos. Mill, on
the Bel Air turnpike. Ifthey back up their
views by large subscriptions, they will GER
tainly have good grounds upon which to be
heard in favor of that route. Until surveys
have been made, discussions of the advanta-
ges and disadvantages of the different routes
will have much interest for our citizens.
Mr. William Young, the agent appointed
by the Executive Committee, has been untir-
ing in his work Of canvassing, and we are
glad to learn is meeting with good recep-
tion everywhere. The members of the Exec
utive Committee are also authorised to re-
ceive subscriptions, and many of them have
subscription papers for the purpose.
The Committee of Conference with the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad, have correspondent with the officers
of that company, and are at this time on a
visit to Philadelphia, to have an interview
with its President. We do not feel author
lied, prior to their report, to state what that
company will do, but it is reported that they
will meet our citizens upon most liberal terms
indeed, such as will secure the building of the
road, if we do our part to an extent fully
within our means
This committee consists of Hons S. Archer,
+. H. Webster and Gen. e. G. Wilson. The
committee on the survey of route, have also
correspondent with the Philadelphia Com
pany, and the services of a competent eng-
neer will be shortly obtained, and this part
of the work commenced, in all probability,
during next week.
The Executive Committee met yesterday
Thursday and brief account of its proceed
ings will be found elsewhere. OF course,
every one interested will wish to know what
are the prospects for the success of the I'M
dertaking. We have taken pains, as far as
possible, to ascertain this, and are assured by
many in better position to be informed than
ourselves that they arc good. And now is
the time to push forward the work for it is
to be remembered that upon the 18th of this
present month"; the last meeting will be held,
unless by that time the success of the road is
assured.

having been exhausted, fresh supply was
obtained and the hattie was ahnnt to be re-
newed when tbs belligerents were dispersed
-"by armed citizens. THE last month of the
expiring year will, at its close, leave behind
melancholy record. The gallows will be
in requsition to q sad and fatal degree-inex-
orable justice demanding the punishment of
no less than twelve malefactors. boy nine
years old, residing near New York city, hung
himself recently in his fathers barn, with a
bride. rein No other cause could be as
signed, except that he had heard good
deal of talk in regard to coming execution,
and had desire to know what the sensation
would be like. He therefore tried the eX-
pertinent, little dreaming, probably, that it
would cost him his life.

THE" YELLOW MAN"

The coming man" is the "yellow man."
and his rights is the new hobby about to be
bestrode by the enterprising and quick-sight-
ed of that party, who having agtated the
negro question until the public are simply
sick and tired of it, now find it necessary to
increase their political stock in trade by new
additions of recent importation. We had
thought the fifteenth amendment would
probably meet the case of the Chinese, al
though not framed with special reference to
that people, but do not profess to speak with
certainty upon the point, as our copy of the
Constitution is some several years DID, and
of course without the modern improvements,
and to some degree an tiquated. 1t would be
pity, too, that it should be settled in so
summary manner, because in that case a
most splendid lot of political stock in trade
would be spoiled before the politicians could
have q chance to use it, Senator Sumner
seems to be of opinion that the question" is
still "to be met" and that they must shave
protection" and so forth, as reported by the
papers. We take the following from the
Baltimore SIN:
THE RIGHTs OF THE YELLOW MAN.-Scn-
ator Summer, in q lecture at Elizabeth New
Jersey, on Saturday, warmly denounced the
prejudice against the yellow man from Asia.
He said the Chinese question must be met.
Attention was once attracted to the African
now it is the Chinese who demand protection
Nothing can be settled which is not right,
and this question can only be settled in bar-
mony with the principles of our fathers and
in conformity with right and justice. The
Chinese must have equal copartnership, for
justice is the best policy, and justice is the
best practice
Now, from this it would seem that we
ought to have another amendment to the Con
stitution at once-say amendment number
seventeen; for by the proceedings of the
womans suffrage convention at Cleveland
Ohio, we see that they claim number sixteen
for themselves. On the assembly of Con.
gress we presume the matter will be pressed
Immediately, and protection and equal rights
for the "yellow man" will shortly be the
gathering cry of some of our political clans.
