Ihi. route has been explored a. far East
A. the Mlbridge line aud the committee
report il 4 very favorable one. We think
I the distance about the same a, the Frank
T liu and Cherry field route. Not more tt=a
/ thres or four mile, farther by the low er
/ route and that So level that the difference
cannot be any seriou, objection.
All agree that the Franklin and Cherry
field route viii be Ilorc expensive and
through tract of land that l. unsettled
and must Ia great exteut remain so for
ever.
Another reason for this route passing
through the shore towns Is the increasing
travel OF the pleasure seekers 10 Sullivan
GOuldsboro and other places along the
route This Kind oi travel is increasing
every Year and when the road l. eomplet
cd il viii increase mich faster. There ar,
many more reasons 3hy this route Is til,
best 10 accept, Which We will not mention
now.
All that We ask i thar this route be ex
plored by the engineer and that the shor,
towns have 8 chance 10 show the feasibility
OF the above described route
II this route is established we have n,
doubt that the several towns on the rout
viii be ready and willing to do their par
in aiding the building OF the road.

includes some OF the strongest men i'm the
Senate. like Trumbull. Morton. sherman

Gratis will make some gains in the choice of
this third of the Senate, and may rise from
three in number To seven or eight. There
Is now vacancy in Georgia. Mr.. Foster
Blodgett was elected but not admitted.
and the vacancy will be filled BY the legis-
iature, which elects Senator Hills sue
eessor, unless Blodgett shall be admitted
next winter. A vacancy in Alabama will
probably be filled by the appointment Of
the Governor, and the senator will. Of
course, be democrat. There is vacancy
IN North Carolina, caused BY the refusal Of
the senate 70 admit Vance.
