Our Railroad.

Why the people of this city first conceived the
idea OF building railroad into the interior towards
Moosehead Lake, was because it was claimed by her
citizens, that Belfast had natural advantage er
all other ports in Maine, in having the nearest port
to til interior, where ship could come, and go,
all seasons of the year; and that other things being
equal she could successfully compete for the trade
of the inland towns, and that such trade must add
vastly to the wealth and growth of this city, And
believing these to be the facts, and that to make us
equal with other cities competing for this interior
trade, we must have railroad Our city, in its
corporate capacity greed to take first $3.50 900 of
no npreferred stock and afterwards $40 0o0 OF pre-
ferred stock In addition 10 this, our citizens took
sl50,000 of preferred stock
Now what was the talk at that time Was it nol
med by every intelligent person, that the city
would not for great many years, if ever rect i've
anything from its non preferred stock And very
many of the private subscribers said, when they
subscribed, that they would take what they could af
ford to lose. if they could have 4 railroad.
From causes which will not here undertake 10
ennmerate, whether from bad engineering, inefficient
or irresponsible contractors unia ihiUl officials,
our road cost mere than it ought TO, and than
We expected; and consequently, we find our re-
sources ali exhausted, our Road incomplete, and a
debt OF 100000 still hanging over us. Now what
shall we do. Our advantages as a seaport that We
originally claimed, we still have, and Shall have let
who will run the railroad provided that it is run
without any discrimination against u.s. and tbs We
have favorable rates of freight for the same dis

to run trains to convene the public travel, and Ia

How it Worked.

Last week, in a wrangle between two
members Of the New York Assembly, one
Of them, Democrat named Irving, struck
his antagonist, who was Il republican, Il
blow in the face. TO save expulsion
Irving resigned The Kcnnebec Journal
remembering the Democratic majority of
one, cXults thus over the matter
The blow viii III Irving administered TO Weed
in the New York Legislature had Il far reaching
effect. Irving knocked the nose of the demo-
cratic majority out of joint Irving's resignation
leaves Billy Tweed without the necessary ma
.Jority to carry his pet measures, occasioning
ton about the matter. The republicans have
concluded to stand their ground unitedly in OPP
position.
The expectations rs set forth the above
We're not realized. Perhaps the shortest
way to the core Of the matter will be to
copy Il terse paragraph from the Lewiston
journal. 1t says
New York politics seem to be almost hopeless
ly subservient to the Devil. A few DAYS since
democratic member of the Assembly Urving)
got involved i'll such an indecent row that he
was obliged to resign. This left the democrats
IliiluS oHt Nolc 10 tDltTOl ltSlSlilon III llllI
body. On Saturday, however, Mr.. Winans, a
republican from an interior county. publicly an :
nounced that he had discovered the democracy
are right, and that henccforth he should vote
with them. The New York Times alleges that
the conversion was brought about through Sem
ator Fenton and Jay Cooke, and that $40 600
were paid Winans and that he is also to receive
a railroad position worth $1,000 year.
A few queries run TO the point of oul
pen in relation to the above First, is il
possible that any member of the radical
party of purity is accessible to bribery
Second, what the deuce are radicals like
Fcnton and Jay Cook spending $40, 900 to
create Democratic majority for? Third,
when did Jay Cook fall from grace? lie
was not long since the pet of the bond
holders and the model man of the loyal
crowd. He entertained hosts of ministers
at his summer resort. He endowed a
Sunday School in Oxford County. And
now he is set down among those ''almost
hopclessly subseryient to the devil" We
hope somebody will rise to explain.

assaulted by 4 party of seven or eight
young roughs, who pounded Fergcrson
and kept him at bay, dragged the girl in
to the woods, threw her down, held her
mouth, and in turn violated her person.
The victim of the outrage has been I'M
able to testify until to-day, when she iden-
tilted each of the prisoners, and gave u

not necessities. Besides, your remarks
