New Rail Road,

At present the Dalt and Ohio Road is sur
veying route through towards. Toledo, and
the line is now being run, between Wooster
and Ashland, from whence it is expected, the
route win be surveyed through Plymouth, and
thence to Toledo, either by an air line, or vis
Tifin. If an air line, and Plymouth should
be made point, Fremont would stand almost
directly in the route; and steps should be tax
en- to encourage the surveys being made in an
air line, There appears to be no question but
a road viii be built by this great corporation,
ere long, and if our city would derive the be-
neft it may, its citizens should be awake to
the importance Of the project, and try to have
asurvey made through hero. Below We give
an article from the Plymouth Advertiser,
showing what hos been done there and what
is expected.
On Thursday last our people were called
upon BY representatives from Ashland, WOos-
ter, and New Lisbon, in the interest Of a Rail
road to be constructed from Pittsburg to Tole-
do; TO be controlled by the Baltimore and Ohio
R Company, the latter company now own
ing q road that is nearly finished from Cum
berland, N. D., via CoDnelsviIle to Pittsburg
and the company are about extending their
road to Toledo. Surveying parties are now
looking over different routes The one IN
which we are interested is to run from Pitts
burg to Smiths Ferry, thence to New Lisbon
Wooster, Ashland, Rome, Shiloh. Plymouth,
Attica, Tifin, and Toledo. The different
surveys viii, when made, be submitted to the
B & o r r Co., and one route selected; and
the construction Immediately follow. What
is now asked of us is to assist in showing. the
surveying party, which will be through here
in few days, the best route, and pay for the
survey, which viii cost about $780, Meetings
were held on Thursday, which were largely
attended. An organization was effected by
selecting Con r MeDonough as President. i
Case, Treasurer; and H Graham, Secretary.
After which remarks were made by Col R Nc |
Donough, II c Breckenridge, D Brewer w W
brennan, Case, ] DenenY, J B Getman and
others.
It was resolved to pay our portion of the |
preliminary survey, and use our best efforts to /
secure the route through our town. An exc |
cUtive committee was appointed to carry out |
the project, consisting Of H C Breckenridge, |
John Deveny, L L Kilburn, W W brennan, |
VIM Cuykendall, W H Sykes, Col r McDo- |
nough and J g Streit, A Finance Committee |
consisting of Getman, F Portner and |
Thomas Kinney; and Committee of Survey, of |
B B Taylor, B Finson, DR. E L Austin, j T |
Barr and John Wilson.
By an examination Of the map it will be
seen that the line from Plymouth to Fremont
and thence to Toledo is almost an air line,
and when it is known that road across the
country intervening can be built, readily, ra-
pidly, and cheaply, there is no reason why we
might not secure the location if proper sters
are taken.

The Legal Tender Decision.

New York, Feb. THE Supreme Courts
decision on the legal tender question was the
great subject of discussion IN the financial cir
cles this afternoon. The decision, as It is IN
derstood in Wall street, is that the legal tender
act was justified by the war, but that Congress
had no power TO issue any more legal tender
notes, and that all the contracts made before
1862, are to be paid in coin. In this shape,
the decision certainly is a very important one;
but its influence on values was remarkably
slight.
The decision makes some hundred of Mill
ions of Railroad bonds and immense aggregate
of State and City bonds payable in coin, both
principal and interest of which for eight years
has been paid in greenbaeks. The payments
of interest or principal since 1862 having been
accepted by the Creditor, viii not be affected
by the decision except where money has been
/ accepted under protest, accompanied with the
| demand for gold, which cases are of course,
very Objectionable, It is perhaps rot inprob-
able, that some Of the poorer States with
heavy debts,such as North Carolina, and Ten
nessee, being unable to provide for their debt
even on the currency basis, may be driven by
decision into open repudiation, pleading action
Of the Supreme Court, rs imposing on then
obligations which they could not honor. The
