MIR. A. WILSON was called npon to
make a statement in regard to the road.
He said that he had been charged with
smuggling certain papers by the INTEL.
LIGENCER At the time lie was charged
with ConCealing letter from Thomas
Scott, he had not received that letter. II
had also been said that he had been offer.
ed the services OF the engineer Of the
Pennsylvania Central free of cost, but
would not accept them. The offer of the
engineers services Is made in the letter
referred to above The ninety day limit
was known to the Board at the September
acknowledgement report Of Supervisors
Meeting,
Let us sec about this. Col. SCoTT's
letter is published in this paper. Ii was
written on the 2jth day OF September.
The intlmAtiOn that Mr. WILSON was con.
cGalng it appeared in the INTELIIGENCER
of November 4th Does Mr.. WILSON pre-.
tend that he had not received that letter
fifty days after 1t was written? Does
he not remember that lo showed 1t pri.
vately day or two after the September
mecting,-it having been written on the
day Of that meeting? And II he did, how
does he reconcile that fact with the state.
ment that he had not received the letter
up to the middle Of November?
lie says that the ninety days limit was
known to the Board ut the September
meeting. How did It bccomc known
Col. SCOTTs letter was written on the day
the meeting was held, and not received by
the Chairman Of the committee till day
or two thereafter. The Information,
therefore, did not come from the letter. 1t
was not in the committees report. Then
II must have been communicated pri.
vately by tho committee to the Board
This Is proof positive that 1t was u part
Of Mr.. SCoTr's proposition rs made to the
committee verbally. Then why was II
not mentioned in their statement OF that
proposition, for the information alike Of
Supervisors and publcy
1t Is true the offer Of the engineers ser.
vices Is made in the letter, but 1t was also
made verbally to the committee before.
Why was that, too, concealed?

this resolution is accepted and contracts
are duly entered into between the COM
panies Tor the completion OF the road, and

and the same be duly approved by the
stockholders OF both companies, within
ninety days from this date.
1t will be observed that conspicuous
feature Of the proposition, set forth in the
resolution and especially referred to in
the letter. was the Limitation of our ac'
ccptanCe TO ninety days We must ac'
cept and contract within ninety days, or
not at NIL. And yet, remarkable to say,
the committee said no word about this
most important reservation. 1t would be
charitable TO suppose they forgot it; but
that is not permitted us, for on receiving
the written proposition two days later,
they could not have failed to be remind,
ed OF it. Yet instead of notifying
the Supervisors ut once, so that
no time should be wasted, the very zeal.
Gus and diSinterested chairman appears TO
have locked the letter in his pocket as q
secret and set TO work devising fresh de.

made Tor it, We suppose it would never
have seen the light at all. And now, as
an appropriate ending Of the work map.

after the ninety days have expired, and at

From the 81. Louis Democrat.
The proposition to construct n double
track narrOw.guage railway from this city
to the Atlantic seaboard Is meeting with
much enthusiasm along along the prOpos.
ed line and ut the various termini OF the
road. Boston regards the enterprise as
eminently n necessary ono, and tenders
funds In abundance. Philadelphia be.
lieves that Tom Scott would not oh.
ject TO such a road, and thinks lie
should be invited to take hold of the
project with st. Louis. Several millions
are offered in Philadelphia New York
Is delighted with the proposal, and advises
that the enterprise be pushed ahead. Port.
land Is enthusiastic, and will do her share.
Wheeling telegraphs that she will render
all the assistance in her power. The Cen.
irAlia Sentinel notices the movement and
pledges Marion county to do her level best.
The Shelby county Union cheers on the
enterprise, but would like the Toledo,
Shclbyvillc and st. Louis road aided first.
Our merchants should be encouraged
by the readiness with which interested 10.
calitics respond TO the proposition, and Mt
once take measures TO put the matter into
organized shape. Railways everywhere
are paying good dividends, and capitalists
invest their money in constructing them
