NEW RAILWAY LINE TO BALTIMORE.

NEW RAILWAY LINE TO BALTIMORE.
Our readers are aware that, previous to
1861, large and profitable direct trade had
grown up between Chicago and Baltimore.
The merchants Of Baltimore supplied Viz
ginia and most of the Southern seaboard
States and cities with provisions, us vel as
merchandise, and drew upon our market
for large quantities OF bans, cut meats, and
other articles, and it was hoped that she
vonld, ere long, rival New York as Gus
toner for several Of our most important
staples- The wnr stopped the intercourse
Of Baltimore with the South, and broke the
connection of that city with the West, by
rendering transit aLdnavel on the Baltimore
4; Ohio Railway unsafe, and, most OF the
lime, impossible. For these reasons, the!
commerce. of Baltimore was virtually dead
during the war, and her people were
Obliged to live on the results Of previous.
years OF prosperity and peace
TIE last few years have given wonder
full stimulus to the commerce and prosperity
OF Baltimore. She has regular line Of
iron steamers. built on the Clyde, to Bre-
men, which command full cargoes Of freight
and passengers. She has regular lines Of
steamers running to ali the Southern
ports, and several lines Of rail
ways, some OF them rapidly approaching
completion, do now, or viii very soon, give
her direct communication with all the most
productive and populous districts Of the
Southern States To enable her merchants
to supply her customers from the cheapest
sources, the Baltimore L. Ohio Railroad has
been securing branch Lines to the leading
centres OF the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys.
It now has control of lines to Sandusky,
Columbus, and Cincinnati, and it is pro-
posed to open a new road direct to Chicago.
The shortest line between the two cities
nearly hundred and fifty miles less than
between Chicago and New York-is
by the Connersville l. Pittsburgh Road
soon to be fnished to tie latter city, aud
to complete the line tns managers OF the
Baltimore i Ohio Railway are now can
vassing the project of new road with the
best grades. and the most direct line posi-
b1e between here and Pittsburgh. Hon.
John ". Garrett, President of that road,
has been in the city two or three days con-
fer1ing with orr leading citizens on this
important subject. At their invitation, he
addressed tho members Of the Board of
Trade, yesterday, N an able and highly ef-
fective speech.
We sincerely trust our eitizens will pro-
mote this important enterprise by every
means in their power. The country west
and northwest of Lake Michigan is devel-
oping so rapidly that the Importance of this
new and competing route to the Atlantic
eeaboard can scarcely be overestimated

that their efforts To collect the taxes had
been defeated, by writs of repleTin IRON
State courts, in case of personal property,
and by combinshons, to prevent the attend

against those bidding at such sales. Judge
Dillon, in granting the motion, decided that

United States After reviewing the past
proceedings in all these cases and enforc-
ing The view that the State courts, Legiala-

It was interesting to hear the discussions
before the committee and in the board, and
Beewhat different views were taken Of the value
Of property in different locations with per-
centum taxation in prospect, from tho repre-
sentations usually mado by the local press, real
estato agents and prominent residents OF the
value Of land and other property in different
parts Of the Btate. Each Senator seemed to
consider it lis duty to .' run down. the dis
trict which he represented and to !" run up'
other districts. The persistent efforts Of hor
representative to depreciate the value Of prop
erty coDtrasted fea1fully With the efforts Of her
newspapers, Board Of Trade. and prominent
men generally 10 initiate il in other towns and
places, and naturally led a Senator from the
Western part Of the State to e1clai1n that il

the board was strongly dissatisfied with the
equalization as agreed upon hastily at the last
moment, which would give the board IN oppor-
tunity to leave town before Sunday, with some
g1aring inequalities left uncorTectedt and their
constituents wall be likely to agree with them.

reluctantly and after considerable discussion
the money was paid by the teller, and the man
left the bank. AS soon as he was gone the
president OF the bank telegraphed to Duncan,
Sherman s. Co.. inquiring If Carriere & Co.
had any finds. A negative answer was at
once returned. The president was at once
alarmed, and started to ind Carriere, going to
his place of business found on the door card
stating that the occupant had "gone for the
day." The matter was put into the hands of
two officers, who went with the president to an
outgoing New York train and inspected the
cars, but the man was not discerned The Of
ficers went out with the train, and at the Dart
mouth street bridge where the cars make a
short stop, two men, one of whom was Carriere
got upon different cars of the train Just i'll

collared them and swung them off before the

checks, and correspondence showing that he

say they intend to detain him until he proves
his whereabouts on the night of the murder
also TO make him an example to others seeking
notoriety in similar manner. Kepling seems
to have manifested signs of insanity for some
