An Important Matter.

That part of our proposed Railroad
line extending from the crossing of the
Marietta road 10 Logan, is over the bed
of the old Portsmouth and Newark
road. 1t is already graded. By The
sale of the Portsmouth road, some years
since, it became the property of the
Marietta road. For twelve or fifteen
years this road bed has been laying
idle and unused, doing nobody any
good, while the people of Macarthur
and Vinton county, who gave of their
means to build ii. have been patiently
waiting for something to turn up
whereby their investment would be
made available to them. Two years
ago the Legislature of Ohio passed an
act providing that every such right of
way or part thereof, which shall have
been owned by any company for the
period of ten years prior to the passage
of the act, shall be forfeited and revert
to the owner of the land, unless, within
two years from the passage of the act,
the same shall have at least ten miles
of railroad completed and in operation
thereon. This limitation would expire
on the 5th day of May, and then this
Logan road would be open for the use
of any company that would make it
available 10 the people of Vinton
county. But now GENES the present
Legislature, and proposes 10 extend the
ownership of the Marietta road in this
unfinished road five years more. The
Ohio Senate, on Thursday last, passed
this new bill by vote of 81 to 4. 1t
has yet to pass the House, and we trust
that body will show a little more con-
sideration for the interests of the peo-
pie of Vinton county, and Southeastern
OHIO, tudu Has Ht
whole thing is manouvered in the in
terests of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road company, with the view of cutting
off Columbus and the Northwest
from an easy and close connection with
the Chesapeake and Ohio road. We
know the Baltimore company has ex-
tended an invitation to the Legislature
to take free ride 10 Washington CITY,
but surely that is not sufficient con-
sideration for the Representatives of the
people of Ohio to aid the selfish inter-
ests of that great corporation, and at
the same time do great wrong to
portion of her own people. The action
of the House, in this matter, will be |
watched with great interest by the
people of Southeastern Ohio, land |
should be by the people of Columbus
and the Northwest, and be by them
treated as their interests may be sub
served or ignored.

A Horrible Case of Hydrophobia

seized him by the arm, infiicting a

eight or nine days after this, Mr.. Ha-

soon recovered, and until very recently

From the Philadelphia Press.l
discharged for Disability"-Im-
p0rtant to Soldiers.

The decision rendered this week
in the Supreme Court, in the case ol
the United States against Hosmer, is
one of more than ordinary interest to
a large class of persons who are the
last to find out their own rights, and
too often the first to be imposed up
on by their agents or attorneys. The
Supreme Court, after considerable
delay, now decides squarely that sol
diers who enlisted in 1861, for three
years or the war, and were discharg-
ed on surgeons certificates of disa-
bility within two years, are entitled
to their 500 bounty, equally with
those who were discharged for
wounds, or the heirs of those killed.
This decision, too, is final, and ends
the matter. The case arose on an
appeal from the Illinois Court of
claims. A judgment was given by
that court for the claimant for 500
bounty for enlistment under the
Presidents call for volunteers in
1861, he having been discharged for
disability upon surgeons certifi-
cate. The question was whether,
under the act of Congress ratifying
the act of the executive, the claimant
could recover, the act providing
that two years service should have
been rendered to entitle the soldiers
to the bounty, unless discharged for
wounds. Mr. Justice Swayne deliv-
cred the opinion of the Court, hold
ing substantially that the proclama
tion of the President and the general
orders of the War Department stipu-
lating to pay Sl00 for each yolrn-
teer, followed by the enlistment of
the claimant, constituted valid con
tract between the Government and
the claimant, upon which lie was en-
titled to the bounty, affirming the
Judgment of the Court below.
We trust the widest publicity will
be given to the decision through
Union papers, posts of the Grand
Army, and by all friends of the sol.
dier. There are large numbers of
invalid discharged soldiers who will
come under this decision, and their
claims have been so long deferred
that probably the greater part of
them have long ago given up all
hope or expectation of getting any
thing aTs

In the Journal OF
this week / see that the Commission
ers order vote to be taken for or
against making turnpikes. They
say, il tits accepted, they will start
four main trunk lines from the coun-
ty seat. What we want ito know is,
whether they intend to run the down
river road 70 the Lasley place, and
then out by Yellow Town, up Big
Bull Skin, through Mercersville, to
intersect the Lawrence county road
at the county line, near Rankin's 8
Point. If that is the plan, every
body here will vote yes, but if the in
tention is to keep the river, then we
will all vote No.
We want you to ascertain this fact
from the Auditor, or the Commits
sioners, and put it in the Journal
next week. This is essential. If
there is not some answer to this be-
fore the election, we will surely vote,
No. We cannot get to the city now,
and If the road is made on the river,
we will be no better off.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN AD-
ANS COUNTY.
Three Men Shot Down and Killed,

1e -FEt FHua9f
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, writing from Manchester,
Ohio, under date March 2lst, says:
A horrible tragedy was perpetrated
here yesterday, resulting in the death
or three of our citizens. The persons
engaged in this affair were James Huff,
broom manufacturer; John G. Rine-
hart, school teacher, and G. J. Con-
nell, a carpenter. 1t seems there had
been difficulty between the parties of
several years standing.
Yesterday, while Rinehart and Con-
nell were quietly walking along the
highway, in the neighborhood of Hills
school house, they met Huff, who was
much intoxicated. AS soon as Huff
saw them he drew a revolver, exclaim-
ing: "You are the d----d dog l
wanted to see." Upon this, Rinehart
drew pistol, but too late to save Con,
nell. Huff had fired and killed Connell
instantly. Rinehart then returned the
fire, the ball taking effect in Huff's left
side, near the heart, but, however, Civ
ing Huff time for second shot, which
brought Rinehart to the ground, NOR
tally wounding him. A farmer by the
name of Pownall, residing near where
the sad affair occurred, hearing the fir
ing, hastened to the scene of action, ar
irving just in time to gain the particu
lars from Rinehart, who died in few
moments after his arrival. Thus end
ed the lives of three of our citizens.
Rinehart was to have been married
in few days to alady of high stand
ing. Huff leaves wife and four chill
dren to mourn his loss. Connell was
a widower, who had just returned from
Fort Scott, Kansas, where he had been
in the carpenter business. The
sad affair has cast a gloom over the
whole neighborhood. @
