AN ENTERPRISE OF THE TIMES.
From Hdrper's Weekly.


From Every Saturday.
We should say that the history of modern
enterprise is yet to be written, were it not
actually writing itself on the face of the earth
In lines which are known and read of all meu.
For it is distinctive of the wonders of achieve
ment in our times that they are as grand and
obvious as they are humane and universal in
their purposes. The pyramids stand through
all time, but, compared with the enterprise
of our day, what do they represent? The
Coliseum is bnt monument of the brutal
frivolity of its builders. Even that ''frozen
music" the glorious architecture of the
Middle Ages, appeals only to certain emo
tions which have as often been enlisted
against as in favor of the progress of the race.
The marvels of modern enterprise, however,
are essentially ministers to all the wants and
necessities of humanity The whole world is
interested in them. Thus it happens that the
Suez Canal, the dream of former ages, has at
last triumphed over the obstacles which

+ A, plot has just been developed to car
ry over Philadelp and Pennsylvania
to the Democratic Party, which is ere
ating intense excitement amongst Re-
publican politicians. A. combination
has been armed amongst the Demo
cratic leaders, representing the worst
elements of their party, and some prom
inent Republicans, to take the control
of the municipal affairs of this city from
the Republican party by legislation,
which will probably be presented next
week at Harrisburg. Commissioners
are to be created grasping the police,
the highway and the water depart
ments, and the assessment and yalua-
tion of property, with the appointment
of all the local revenue officers. The
G Commissioners will be named in the
respective laws, and authorized to fill
all vacancies among themselves. Seven
thousand appointees will be wrested
from the Republican party and placed
in the hands of the eonspirators, to-
gether with the absolute control of all
the interests of the city. One hundred
thousand dollars have been raised for
the subornation of Republican members
and is at the disposal of a leading DEM
ocratic member of. the House. The
project originated with Tanfmany, and
is designed to extend its jurisdiction
over Philadelphia. Mr.. Tweed has
visited this city several times recently,
in preparation of the details. III

The following is a translation of the
proclamation addressed by the Emperor
Napoleon, to the electors of France:

Istruggle. Notwithstanding unparallel-

fstrungholds unreduced, few depart

defense, the extent of her misfOrtunes
i might possibly have been limited. But
while attention was directed to her en-

what makes nay dynasty If my country
is saved, Instead of protesting against
the violation of my right, hoped for
the success of the defense, and admired
the patriotic devotion of the children OF
France. Nowwhenf the struggle is sus-
pended, and all reasonable chance for
victory has disappeared, it is time to
call to account the usurpers for the
blOodshed, and ruin, and squandered
resources. 1t is impossible to abandon
the destinies of France to an unauthor-
lied government to which was left no
authOrity emanating from universal
Isuffrage. Order, confidence and solid
peace are only recoverable where the
people are consulted. Respecting the
government most capable of repairing
. the disasters to the country, it is essen
tial that France should be united in
her wishes. For myself, bruised by
injustice and bitter receptions, do not
know or claim my repeatedly confirmed
rights. There is no room for personal
ambition. But till the people are reg.
ularly assembled, and express their
will, it is my duty to say that all acts
are illegitimate. Here IS the only gov:
, Iernment inwhich resides the national
sovereignty, able to heal her wounds
; to bring hope to her firesides, to reopen
her prOfaned churches for prayers, and

RAILRDAD NEWS,

The wheeling ana Toledo Railroad
company has been incorporated with a
capital stock of one million of dollars.
A quite enthusiastic meeting was held
at New Athens on the 3rd inst. upon
the arrival of the engineer CORPS at that
place. Enthusiastic speeches were made
by several gentlemen. among whom
was Mr.. Blickensderfer. chief engineer.
He said that the road could be made
and spoke of the benefits resulting
therefronl. From all reports we can
not help thinking that, though the
erade will be an easy one. the grading
and bridging must be very expensive.
In addition to two or three deep cuts
the creek viii have to be bridged near
lIy every mile along the route up as far
as New Athens. The Engineers report
will be published in a few weeks. 20

2 For Governor Of Ohio.

Z q
In reviewing the men for the Office of
Governor of Ohio; duringthe next con-
test, permit me to present some of the
claims of Eastern Ohio. Withoutde desiring
to prejudice the chances of any of the
names already before the people, we
claim for Eastern Ohio the right to pre-
sent representation in the gubernatorial
chair, because that honor has, by the
votes of this section, been for many
years past successfully conferred upon
noble, able Republican Governors. And
now we present three names, each OF
which will carry whole strength of Re-
publicanism throughout this part of Our
commonwealth-C John A. Blair, OF
Muskingum; Judge Daniel 7. Cowen, OF
Belmont; and Isaac Martin, of Guern-
sey county.
Col. Blair has had large and varied
Legislative experience, and is familiar
with the men and measures that have
controlled our State for twenty years
past. His management of his depart
ment of the Public Works has been able
and masterly, securing to the State
financial economy and gains. He was
one of the originators, in1856, while
member of the General Assembly, O
that best public institution of the State

yer and statesman that we, and the
whole people of the State, will delight
to honor. is, s.iJ III is5i-4te ~ 81,

fia The Ohio State Journal of the Sth
fnst. contains a GAINESVILLE letter bring
ing forward among others the name of
Judge Cowen of this place, to head the
ticket for the coming election. While
no more worthy nomination could be
made for the Governorship, the sug-
gestion of his name is entirely new.
Mr. Cowen's law practice is, perhaps,
the largest in Eastern Ohio, and his
acknowledged ability in matters of law
has more closely allied his prospects to
promotion in that direction, However,
as candidate for Governor he would
not only carry the whole strength of his
party, but we do not hesitate to say
that no Democratic candidate could
hold his own in this County. or where
Mr.. Cowen is intimately Known
Nothing would be more gratifying than
to be able to place the name of ID. D. T.
Cowen at the bead Of the list this fall.
