filed at Columbus, April 9th, under
which it is proposed to build rail

through the counties ofCuyahoga,

Guernsey, Noble and Washington,
with capital stock of $5o,oOo,ooo'
On Tuesday last an informal meet
ing was held in Cambridge, for the
purpose of initiating measures to
carry into effect the objects OF the
charter. Isaac Morton,of Guernsey
was made chairman of the meeting,
which was addressed by Gen. War
ner, of Marietta, Mess. Ricketts, d
Barney, of Coshocton, Mr.. Hiskett
of Plainfeld, DIR. Enos, of Millers
burg, and Messrs Mathews, Mozart
ney, Luccock and others of Guerns-
ey. The sentiment of the meeting
seemed to be decidedly favorable
to the route proposed, VIA, Medina,
Wooster, Millefsburg, Coshocton.
Cambridge and Caldwell, to connect
at the latter point with. the road
soon to be finished to that place
from Marietta. Preliminary surveys
have been made of all the proposed
line, excepting that between Cam
bridge and Coshocton, which soor
will be.
OF the entire practicability of the
route, and of the ultimate success oi
the entsprise,there seemed to be nc
doabt. General Warner demonstra
ted very satisfactorily that such 8
road, running as it would through
the entire route along the western
out crop of the coal measures would
prove a paying one.
The meeting adjourned, to meet
at Wooster, on Wednesday, May Sd
II, when the organization of the
company will be completed,and steps
taken to carry the project into execu-
ton.

SENATOR THURMAN.

A Washington correspondent OF
an English paper has been pleased
to designate Senator Thurman OF
Ohio as the "John Bright of the
American Senate" The compari-
son is about as just to John Bright
as it would be to compare Benedict
Arnold to George Washington. Sen
ator Thurman has availed himself
of his position as a United States
Senator, to defend the leaders of the
infamous Ku Klux bands in their
wholesale murder of Republicans
in the Southern States. Not one
word ofdisapprobation has been ut
tered.

PENDlET0N.

George H. Pendleton does not
propose to run any risk, by allowing
his name to be placed in nomination
for Governor of Ohio. Mr.. Pend
Teton is ambitious to be President.
He was defeated at his last attempt
by a rule and he hopes at the next
effort to defeat the rule. Fearing
that his defeat for Governor will
materially injure his Presidential
prospects, he wisely declines being
a candidate for the Gubernatorial
chair.

Fence Posts.

The following experience on the
mooted question whether fence
posts will last longer when set in
the same position in which they
grow, or rice versa, is given by a
writer: Some 90 years since l set
a fence, inclosing house and door
yard-a rail and banister fence.
The posts were sawed from good
sized red chestnut logs. 70 saw
them tapering, one half Of them
must be sawed to set in the ground
top down, and the other bottom
down. The posts were set promis-
cuously, and to this day there has
been no distinguishable difference
in their lasting quality, unless it be
where some of them had more sap
than others, and these gave out first,
with out regard to which end was
set down.

FROM ORRVIllE.
ORRvILLE, April "a, 1871.
EDITORS REPUBLICAN, !:

EDITORS REPUBLICAN:
The Spring trade opens briskly
in Orrviile. The dry goods and
fancy stores look as though they
were being deeked in holiday attire,
so gay are the prevailing colors and
fashions this season. The first of
April witnessed less changes in our
business circle this year than at any
other like time within my recollec-
ton. The only new firms starting
in this Spring, are Messrs. Eyman
& Hursh, hardware; Hornan u Bore
man, groceries; E. B. Evans, pro
duce shippefsaEeReakes cigars,
TOBACCO &e.e MesSrs., Write y Gear
ard, dealers in boots and shoes, DIS
solved partnership last week.
Mr., B. Westheffer shipped a car
load of sheep last Wednesday which
he thinks took the lead of any
shipment from this place. They GER
tainly were a good lot of sheep as
the one hundred and sixty-one
weighed over q, 90 lbs, an unusual
ly large average. Cattle shipments
over the P. F. W. & C. r. r. have
been quite heavy during the past few
days.
A mad dog passed through our
town one day last week following the
rail road track westward. A railroad
man hit the soldering canine with
two chunks of coal, but he neither
turned to the right or the left. 1 have
not heard that the brute committed
any depredations in this vicinity.
Your correspondent is in receipt of
letter from Prof. John Wise, the
hero of four hundred and fifty bal
loon ascensions,i in which he says he
is engaged in building a balloon OF
about 10000 cubic feet capacity to
be used in taking meteorological OBJ
servations. The Professor has a
new balloon for sale for which some
gentlemen in this place are negotiat-
ing. Should they succeed in making
a purchase you may expect some
high times at Orryille during the
summer.
Last Thursday noon a dispatch
from the superintendent of the A.
Il G. W. .R. R., at Gallon, brought
the intelligence of the death of
R. n. Buck, a brakeman on that
road. The accident happened at
Redwood, where they were making
a running switch, an act in which
many rail road men have been kill
ed. Mr.. Buck was between the cars
pulling out the coupling pin, and as
the forward part of the train pulled
away he missed his hold and fell
upon the track in front of the ap-
preaching part of the train. The
wheels passed over his head and
neck crushing him in horrible man
ner.
His wife and four small children
were visiting her father, P. Latimer,
ESQ.,, at this place when the sad
news were received. The remains
were brought here on Friday morn
ing and inferred in the Orrville Gem
etery in the afternoon. 1t was sad
scene to witness the young widow
and four small children following
the mutilated form of husband
and father to the grave. They are
left in poor circumstances. Mr.. Buck
was young man of considerable
talent, ,and would have, in fifteen days
more, gone into a railway office at
indianapolis.
Albert Fritz, the boy who had
his arm so badly broken, is getting

formed a neat surgical operation
and removed about three inches of
the bone.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS- 2

Congress adjourned siMe die on
Thafsday afternoon. The Senate
closed its session in a quiet and
dignified manner. The House, how
ever, was in blaze of excitement
up to the very last moment of the
session growing out of a personal
explanation by Gen. Butler follow
ed by speech from Mr.. Farms
worth. The extra session of the
Senate has been called for the 10th
of May, by the President. This
looks like the speedy completion of
the labors of the Joint High Com
mission.

ADVANCING.

Republican victories was supple
mented yesterday by complete tri-
umph in the District of Columbia,
at the first election held since it as
sumed Territorial form of govern
ment. The fruits are a Republican
delegate in Congress, Republican
House of Delegates, and better than
all, a renewed assurance of Republi-
can strength and unity, which will
solidify our ranks and demoralize
the already disheartened and de-
spairing Democracy.
The result of yesterdays election
is an auspicious omen of the future.
A much greater victory has been
achieved than even the most san
guine expected, and an emphatic
rebuke administered the rebels in
the South and their friends and
sympathizers of the North, at the
very threshold of the old domain of
slavery. The capital of the nation
from whence its politics radiate
all over the lands consecrated to
Repubhcanism.
Apart from all these considera-
tions, it has another and a deeper
significance. 1t ends Republican
dissensions and inaugurates the
era of harmony. Henceforth we
move forward in solid phalahx and
under one leader. 1t is new de-
partnre, and of the whole party.
The campaign of 1872 may now
be looked upon as virtually settled.
The Democracy-unprogressiyea and
clinging to the past-refuse to recog-
nize the results of the war or to
obey its lessons. They apologize
for outrages on Union men at the
South and countenance opposition
to the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments. All the manifestoes
ever issued or to be issued cannot
convince the country to the contra
ry. Their programme for 1872 is
to be that of 1868 repeated over
again, and it must be met with the
same arguments and under the same
leaders.
General Grant will unquestion-
ably be the nominee of the Reppbli-
can party. He has proven himself
the man for the hour; and while he
has differed in his views with many
of the leaders, ourselves among the
number,on certain questions-affect-
ing neither the principles nor the
policy of the party-he has at all
times shown himself ready to acqui-
esce in the will of the people, ,and un-
willing to enforce any measure or
scheme obnoxious to them.
In the light of all recent events he
is the fittest person to lead the Re
publican columns. His great vic
tories in war have been repeated in
peace; and as he crushed the first
rebellion so will he that which now,
dark and threatening, looms up in
The Southern horizon. The power
on him by the bill en-
forcing the fourteenth amendment
10 the Constitution, which yesterday
received his sanction, will be rigidly
exercised, and peace and prosperity
'estored-to every State of the Union.
Under his lead We shall advance
% greater triumph than ever, and .
'ender secure forever by the ballot,
md in the constitutional manner.

The news from Paris is without

to be getting the worst of it. The
progress toward the decision of the

The application from Russia for
an agency for the new loan, and the
proffer to take ten millions of dol
lars of the loan at once, shows how
promptly the amount will be taken
up by foreign capitalists when once
a full opportunity is given. The
credit of the Government was never
better than now.
The latest stories as to the safety
of DIR. Livingstone turns out to be
without foundation. News from
Zanzibar was received at the Cape
of Good Hope on Jan. 2Ist, by the
Portuguese gunboat Anna Maria; and
although the foreign residents of
Zanzibar still believe that Living
stone is alive, it is entirely untrue
that any letter has been received
from the great traveller by DR.. Kirk,
the English consul, as was reported
not long since.

A ROYAL SCENE.

Describing the scene at the dedi-
cation of the Royal Albert Hall, in
London the New York Tribune cor
respondent says: The Queen came
at 1870. What the programme
said should be done was done,
the Prince of Wales and the rest of
the committee receiving Her Maies-
ty as she descended from her car
riage, and escorting her to the door,
through which the great multitude
of hushed spectators were waiting
to see her appear. AS she entered
the whole audience rose, and organ
and orchestra broke out together in
the strains of the national anthem.
For moment the Queen halted on
the upper step and just within the
curtained doorway, curtsying low
to the silent homage which the great
audience was paying. Then she
advanced, conducted by the Prince
of Wales, quite slowly down the
center of the hall between the lines
of yeomen. She wore, ,as she always
wears, black dress; this time a
plain mourning dress of black silk,
with black bonnet and gloves, The
Princess of Wales followed in q
robe of ruby-colored velvet, and
bonnet of the same. Her husband
came as Colonel of Hussars, in a
jacket laced and frogged as only
Hussar jackets in this world re,not
suiting his stout figure. The Prin-
cess was accompanied by the Duke
of Saxe-Coburg,in what looked like
an Austrian cavalry uniform, all
white, The Princess of Wales is
pretty and popular, but to-day most |
eyes are> turned on the figure that
follows, all clad in white silk, with |
vail and bonnet of white, and a |
wreath of orange blossoms about
her forehead. 1t is the bride of last
week, the Princess Louise. Mar
chioness of Lorne, by whose side
walks her brother, Prince Arthur,
and not her husband. For to mar
y Princess does not make man
Prince, and royal etiquette thinks
nothing of putting asunder bride
md bridegroom. The Marquis,
ooking more boyish than eyer. walks
some ranks behind his wife, stands
part from her when they have
cached the dais, and afterward,
When the whole party go up to their
'oxes, cannot even sit in the same
'oX with her. Nobody seems to be
roubled abont it. yet there in the
jabinet-box is that proud Duke of
Argyll looking down on the curious
Gene, and one would really like to
now what he thinks of the social
aw that ranges his son so far below
lis sons wife.
