RAILROAD MATTERS,

As regards the statement in tho Winches-
ter Times of last week, that the engineers
who made the report to the Railroad Meeting
in Charlestown, were parties inexperienced,
or amateurs ie' such matters, we have only to
say that one of them, in 1852, held the posi-
ton of Resident Engineer on the Baltimore
q Ohio Railroad; afterwards was principal
assistant on the Sunbury & Erie Railroad, in
Pennsylvania, and located most of that road !;
was Chief Engineer of the Eastern Shore
Railroad, in Maryland, and Chief Engineer
of the Guinness & Matanzas Railroad, on the
Island of Cuba. Another of the parties had
been an Engineer in the service of the Con-
fsderate States, and at the close of the war
was at the head of the Typographical Depart
ment for the Army of Northern Virginia
The third on the list was gentleman of great
practical experience and sound judgment,
who has had considerable experience in rail,
road matters.

TRANSPORTATION,

"Now you see it and now you don't see it"
This has been the thimble-rigging process by
which the Boards of Registration appointed
for this county, this fall, have disposed of
themselves, and no one has been able to say
when Board existed. First-we had Board
consisting of the three worthless who ran the
machine last year-Underdonk Turner and
Traynor. This Board was dissolved by the
withdrawal of Van Undertook who discovered
that he could not legally fill the positions of
member of the Board and Postmaster of
Shepherdstown. The matter was then dropped
until two weeks ago, the Governor came to
the county, and appointed another Board,
composed of Turner, Traynor and Chambers.
Before anything was done, this Board threw
up their hands-Turner and Traynor refusing
to serve. Then there was another shuttle, and
Undertook, as usual, termed up as Jack
Now the Board stands, Underdonk, Turner
and Chambers What Van intends to do with
his Post office we have not learned, but as he
is business man of great capacity, and a
politician of unquestioned impudence, we
presume he will supervise both machines, and
keep them going till the dirty work is accom-
plished. 1t is said township registrars will
be ppointed-pitch in then, ye loyal, and
register. Register early, and register often,
and vote the same way. Van Underdonk is

The Fifteenth Amendment.

The New York Sun has had reporter in
terviewing Judge PACKER, the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania
Upon the fifteenth amendment, the judges
position was unequivocally defined, in the fol-
lowing language:
The republican party seem to treat that as
settled question 80 far as Pennsylvania is
concerned, refusing to let it come before the
people for their determination l have nv
own opinions as to the manner in which that
amendment should have been passed upon
1 think any amendment like this, which vir-
tually changes the Constitution of the State,
should have been presented to the people for
their approval as provided in our State or
ganic law, and should have emanated from
convention called on the application of the
legislatures of two>thirds of the several States
as provided in the Federal Constitution. A
question of such vital Importance should be
determined by the people or by their repre-
sentatives elected for that purpose. The
question of suffrage is one that the original
founders of the general Government wisely
refrained from delegating to it, jealousy re-
tanning it within the control of the several
sovereign States there presented. That con-
troll has never been delegated to the General
Government, the assumption of it by the Ma
tional Legislature is an arbitrary exercise of
power, subversive of the whole principle upon
which the Government was founded and so
fearful was the republican party that the peo-
pie of the Northern States whose loyalty had
never been questioned, who believed that
they intended this gross innovation on their
rights, that in their platform adopted by their
National Convention at Chicago in 1868, they
declared that the question of suffrage in the
Northern States was to be determined only
by the people of the respective States. And
yet they never have permitted the people of
any State to pass upon the question, except
in the South, where they have made the adop-
ton of negro suffrage condition precedent
to their representation in Congress

The San Francisco Herald says that the
next United States Senator elected from Cal,
ifornia will be Democrat. That much is
evident, incomplete as the election returns
still are from the interior. The Legislature
just elected will be so thoroughly Democratic
that the little band of Radicals will scarcely
be strong enough to make the legislative pro-
ceedings interesting. Not more than four or
five Radical Senators have been chosen out
of twenty to be elected; and not over twenty
Radical Assemblymen out of eighty members.

- Science threatens the extinguishment
of ''the dusty miller" A method has been
discovered Of making bread without grinding
the grain, and patent has been taken out
for the process. In making bread from flour
there is much waste, 100 pounds of grain
yielding only liz pounds of bread. By the
new process the same amount of grain will
produce $50 pounds of bread Moreover,
the decomposed and lost gluten in the old
process is preserved in the new.
