ADOCT RAILROADS.

We call the attention of our readers to the
communication written from Cottonwood
Falls, about the A. T. & S. F. Railway.
Col; Wood, it seems, has blocked the way
to its future progress, and promises to expose
the weakness Of the corporation as legally
organized one. We think this is . danger
Gus experiment for the railroad corporations
in Kansas to suffer one of their kind to sub
NIT to. We mistrust that when the public
mind in this State, settles down to condi-
ton to'properly appreciate the actual char
ac.er of the organization anu conduct Of these
business associations, their real relations to
the people as well as their real basis for ex-
istence as corporate bodies in this State, they
will suffer a mos, serious and damaging criti-
cisn,, to say the least.
We think we know of other railways
which are managed by companies who are
riding with rather reckless as well as sharp
shoes over the rights of the people. They
had better read the handwriting upon the
wall. There is period in almost all things
to the exercise of the spirit Of forbearsnce.
That point has abou; been reached by the
people of Kansas in reference to railroad
management. How about the NJ, h. 4 I,
road? We shall inquire particularly BY

Correspondence Of the Leavcnworth Times.
BosroN, Oct. %, 1870.
Twenty wears ago 10 face was better known
at the An,i-Slavery meetings, and no man
more freely gave money in aid of that move
ment, than Charles F. Hovey. fla fugitive
slave was arre.,cd in this city-and some
were, two of whom were sent back to slavery
there were few men who were always to
be seen in the conferences held to devise
measures for defence, relief or rescue. Gar
rison, Phillips, Sewall and Others. still live,
but John A. Andrew, Theodore Parker,
Francis jackson and Charles F. Hovey are
dead. Thosc were the days Of Mr. Garri-
sons LibcnGtor;. days when Anti-Slavery
men were MODIFIED in Boston, in Cambridge,
in Springfield, and in other New England
towns. Persons who were conscientiously
opposed to Slavery, and who talked against
it on all occasions, were not only personally
and socially unpopular, but they were looked
upon as deficient in intellect, and a. little
les than crazy. Al that time-and q few
years before it was still worse-no one would
have thought Of consulting Mr.. Garrison on
a business weston, and, had he volunteered
his OPINION in regard to any mercantile trans
action, the very boys in the streets would
have laughed, jeered and hooted. If You
were fanatic on one question you were =
fanatic on all, and if you really believed
that it was wrong to own, buy and sell hu-
man beings, then your Judgment on any
other question must be equally crazy. Han
Aholitionist did sensible thing outside of
The feld Of that agitation, Il was apoaogised
for, and explained away. 1t is we'll for Us

only interesting feature Of the debate last
night arose out of an assertion BY the Rev
John Moore that spiritua! mediums were or

his reply, offered to pit Miss Lizzie Keyser,

dead halt in this county. After We voted
bonds they undertook to avoid Cottonwood
Falls. Col. Wood has enjoined them from
crossing section of land north Of town.
This compels the Company to build into
town or suspend work.
In his petition he sayr the connpan- ~
"a::duly chartered company, and sets up
error, in their proceedings that will require
the company at least two months to repair
and get ON a legal status.
Col. Wood says they will come into Cot
tonwood Falls, or he will break their charter
and burst up the company. From his
knowledge of the early history of the COM
pany, bnt few doubt his ability to do this.
Ono thing is now certain; unle,s compro-
mise is effected no railroad will be built to
Chase cosnty this year.
Yours truly,

TIE EXAMINER, is 4 new monthly pub
lished in Chicago. The first number is for
this month, November. We hive received
il and read it, 1t is edited by the Rev. Ed
ward c. Towne. 1t il as its advertisement
indicates, ga Monthly Review Of Religious
and Humane Questions, and of Literature. y
4 radical journal in religion and every
thing else. Its editor is an able, finely
cultured, fearless writer. The first pages of
this number are filled with a story-a Serial,
written, We have no doubt, by the editor.
"Crazy Chicago is its title. The object Of
the author is sharply stated in the opening
paragraph L: "is to strike succession of
the hardest blows can, at folies, vices, and
crimes, which find around me, in the soci-
ETY., religion, and types Of character which
are current among u.s. We shall not under
take to notice the story in detail. II will
suffice TO AFFIRM SO far as the tale is told, the
promise contained in the quotation We have
made above is most emphatically justified.
The..ayle is bold and aggressive.
The next paper in it Of especial interest is
STYLED, ''Charles Dickens and his Chris
tan Critics. Here is signalized
the difference between the quality
of the eastern and western method
of thought and criticism. This writer puts
himself into shape and then charges upon
the great clerical characters of the times, for
their weaknesses, their advertised moral
lapses, with all the sharp, high metal, I'M
finching courage and terrific force of
half dozen brave, skilled, determined noun
tain men upon tribe Of Indians. He cares
as little .oT the apparent odds against him.
Then such tearing, cutting, slashing work n
he makes among the enemy, fills the reader
with a strange medley of sensations, among
which are the prime sentiments of pity and
admiration--th first for the subjects Of the
terrific assault; the latter for the magnificent
display of courage, power and skill Of the
ass:lilant.
The article upon the ''U Unitarian Situation, y
will interest the members of that religious
society throughout the west, just now, when
their church affairs are getting grandly
mixed. Hepworth, Ccllyer. Mayo and DR..
Bellows each receive such castisatiOn with
this new ca, o nine tails, that they will be
apt to remember. 1.-The History Of the Devil.
His Rise, Greatness, and Downfall, " is just
what the title indicates. 1t is highly salts
factory to have the history of the dark and
all devouring monarch Of the hot country
accurately written. And then it is still
more comfortable to have it stated upon such
good courageous authority, that the fiery
spirit is quenched.
All in all, this periodical is timely crea-
ton, and will make vhirl in the religious
and literary world Of the west.
