The Baltimore american, in a recent
article in regard to the above railway, says;
"Mr. James L. Randolph, the chief en-
gineer of the Baltimore and Ohio compa-
ny, has been appointed the chief engineer
of this great work. He is at present up
on the line west of Pittsburgh, and will
proceed promptly to organize full corps of
engineers, so as to locate the entire line
rapidly, in order that the work may be
commenced at various points at an early
day. It is represented that all along the
line Of route the enthusiasm and interest
in reference to the construction of this
work continue to increase, and anxiety is
expressed in Ohio and Indiana especially
as to the particular route that shall be Sc
lected. Mr.. Sehafer, a leading citizen of
Canton, Ohio, visited this city yesterday
for the purpose of proposing to the Bal
timore and Ohio Company that if the line
be located through that town a cash sub
scription of 100000 will be immediately
made by its citizens to the stock of the
company. All the leading communities
and many capitalists upon the route pro-
pose to subscribe largely to the enterprise.
1.-THE prospects are therefore favorable
that this grand extension of the road re-
Gently completed from Cumberland to
Pittsburgh, will be constructed with rap
idity and thus, in addition to the various
southern, southwestern and western direct
lines to Baltimore-espeoially the. Ohio
and Mississippi line with the connected
uniform gauge through from st. Louis
the city of Chicago and the northwest will
be placed in direct and full communica-
ton with the port of Baltimore, the whole
line being under the management of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company"

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET


When q Republican Office seeker asks
your vote to continue the family in a fat
Office and keep the ring in a thriving
condition just be ready with a few ques-
tions. Ask him
First-Are you in Favor of the Long
Branch Grant government
Second-Are you in favor of continu-
ing plunderers in power right along at
home and abroad2
Third--Do you approve of a Plunderlng
tariff that destroys American shipping
Injuries commerce and robs labor for the
benefit Of a few7
Fourth-Do you endorse and approve
of the robbihg and plumber schsmes of
Grant and Congress in their land grab
rings, their whisky rings. &c, by which
members of Congress enrich themselves
and all their relations?
Fifth-Do you think it right for a
President of the United States to do as
Grant has done in appointing all his own
and his wife's relations TO fat offices 2
Were our former Presidents fools in re-
fusing to do so?
SIxth-What think you of the party ia
power collecting from the people $780,
100000 in these last six years, since the
war, and only reducing the Public Debt
