SUBTERFUGE OF THE CoRRUPTIoNIsTs.-
The dreadful fix into which the Dover Corrup-
tionists now find themselves is rather amusing,
when they think to deceive any longer the good
people of this County, by parading themselves
in the cast-of clothes of the White Man
Pdrty, in order to attract attention from the
real issues now before the county, as contained
in the terrible bill of indictment found against

Is OLIVE LooAN.-Miss Olive Logan delivers
her lecture entitled the Bright Side, in this
town On Friday evening next. The lecture is
said to surpass her famous lecture on Girls,
which she delivered before ore hundred pack
ed audiences last winter, repeating it in most
OF the large cities. Sbe al. eady has about sew
enty engagements to deliver this lecture. As
the announcement of her lecture in this town
has awakened desire to know something of
her history, among many of our citizens, they
may be interested in short sketch OF her lite.
She is the daughter of Cornelius Logan, who
was theatrical manager in Cincinnati, where
she was born. She-with five other sisters
commenced life as an actress, being put upon
the stage when only five years old to person
ate "COra's" childlin the play OF Pizarro
at the theatre of which her father was man
ger. She spent most of her early years in this
capacity. but finally succeeded in getting her
name off the boards for time, the perilous
| life not being very cOngenial to her tastes. T.
ter she had reached the age of wOmanhood
however, being pinched by poverty and tempt
ed by gohd salary, she was again induced tC
become an actress and made her debut as {
star in New York city, We believe. She m ,d'
hiL, -. and soon became prominent In he
profession, performing in the principal cite;
in this country and in Europe. When tn,
English blonde" were brought TO this coun
try several years ago, and introduced the :" LEI
DRAMA" she protested against the immora
spectacle, and finally LETT the stage. with tn
i determination never to return. Shortly afte
Abandoning the stage she wrote book entitlc
B1Eure the FOotlights and Behind til,
Scenes" giving a full narrative Of theatrica
lite it abuses aud immoralites This book prov
ed great success Finling that her literar
offoris were appreciated she wrote lectur
entitled = Stage Struck" in which she review
the = leg drama" and other abuses of the stag
: in the most sarcastic manner. From the fri
delivery of this lecture, we believe, we thin
i'll 1868, to the present time, her success as
lecturer has been of the mo<t marked charaC
ter. Not even John B. Cough or Anna Dicl
inson draw larger houses. She has a most d.
E lightful voice and pleasing style, and keeps a
a audience delighted throughout her entire di
course. The lecture will commence at
O'Clock. Tickets, 50 cts reserved chairs,

JACKSON, MARCH Z, 1870.
ED. CHRONICLE = Perhaps a few
words from Michigan may not be amiss,
among the correspondence you are week
ly receiving from all parts of the cOun-
try, and especially the west. We have
had for the most part a rather mild open
winter, with but little snow and but few
really cold days. There has been a good
deal of building going on the past few
months. Some very fine business blocks
are now being finished, and over twenty
new stores have been put up since last
July.
This is getting to be quite a railroad
town, over sixty trains a day passing
through here, or stopping here as the end
of their route. The road to Grand Rap
ids is now completed and trains running
regularly. The Jackson, Fl Wayne &
Cincinnati road is completed to Angola,
Ind, fifty miles, and trains running
daily. This spring VIC are to have water
works put in operation. The Holly sVs-
tenn is TO be used. Part of the contracts
are already let. Here, as elsewhere,
there Is some agitation on the Woman
Suffrage question but it is not quite as
noisy now as a short time ago, More
anon. Yours. Z,

Lease Of the Atlantic & Great Western
Railway.

The Supreme Court of Philadelphia,
Chief Justice Thompson, presiding, has
rendered a decision in favor of the pro-
posed lease of the Atlantic and Great
Western Railway 10 the Erie Company,
and peremptorily dismissed the bill of
exceptions that bad been filed by the first
mortgage bond holders, and other oppos-
ing parties, the parties opposed to the
lease being ordered to pay costs. The
lease was executed accordingly, and the
Erie Company is 20 in possession of
the line from Salamanca to Cleveland,
and through to Cincinnati. This has
been q hard fought battle, every possible
objection having been made to the con
summation Of the lease. The most emil
nent counsel Of New York, Ohio and
Pennsylvania were united against Mr..
Frederick A. Lane and his assistants,
but the legal member of the famous TIL
umyirate of Erie conducted his case with
such signal ability that he won the vic
tory. By this decision the Erie Compa-
nv has gained ali that it ever asked, and
has secured, despite the most violent OPP
position, emansting, 1t is presumed, par
tally from rival lines, q direct through
route to Cincinnati and the far West.
