Tn.vne,I,nr and Lake Project.

A correspondent OF the Pittsburgh
Commercial writes to that paper as fol-
lows: Having learned the following
facts, and believing that the people VINO
are directly Interested would like to know
what is doing in the way OF ne" rail-
road enterprises of the day, l have
spared no pains to learn what is being
done in regard to the road projected
from Wheeling to the lakes. Negotia'
tions are now pending between several
railroad enterprises projected from the
northwest to the coal regions of south
east Ohio. A company has been FORM
ed who have given notice of meeting
of the stockholders to elect a board OF
directors, the company having secured
almost the entire right of way from the
Ohio river to within one-half mile Of
Bolivar, on the Tuscarawas Valley, a
distance of fifty miles, the amount OF
stock having been subscribed to secure
the organization. The amounts pledg-
ed in addition by letters from the com
mittees at different points on the llne'
and at each end OF il, will make up the
REQUIRED amount Of local subscription,
viz: $4,000 per mile. The owner OF
the stock in the old Southwestern Road
have given permission to each indlvld.
ual subscriber to transfer his or their
stock to this company on that part where
they cross their old line. In interview
ing the parties directly interested in this
movement, the question was asked
"why not make Portland, on the river
point instead Of Wheeling? The
answer was that Wheeling could not
afford to let this road terminate at any
point on the river north of them. 1t
would be about the same thing as put
tina them on another swttch. l was also
informed, and Oh examination found the
statements were correct, that the dis
lance from the Island at Wheeling to
the best point on the Tuscarawas Val
lev was from eighteen to twenty miles
shorter than the route surveyed by Mr..
Blickensderfer last spring via Athens,
Urichsville, &c, to the same point.
Not being posted in the management OF
railroad projects, and being somewhat
acquainted with the country east Of the
Ohio, an idea occurred to me that a
connection with the Hempfield, at
Washington, or the Charters Valley
Road, would make a good route, and in
this case a valuable feeder to Pitts
burph.

THE BENwOOD MEETING.

The meeting at Benwood last night
resulted in triumphant and very graft
flying success for the friends of the Con.
vention. The meeting was originally
proposed in the interest of the Constitu.
tional Convention, but at Governor
STANTON S solicitation he was accorded
the privilege of an hours speech in
opposition to the call The IntclHgcn-
Ger having announced the arrangement
yesterday morning, a number of Radi-
calls assembled in hope Of taking charge
of the meeting and permitting the "old
War Horse" to run it. But in this
they were somewhat disappointed.
The audience filled the large
hall and at the commencement
of the speaking was about equally d.
vided in sentiment. Mr. BARR opened
the discussion in half hours speech
being compelled to stop by the expira-
ton OF his allotted time, while in the
middle of his argument. Governor
STANTON followed in a speech of an
hours duration, evading the points
raised by Mr.. BARR and devoting most
of his time to a discussion Of the viva
voee system ofvoting and demagougi-
cal appeal to the working men. His
speech had but little effect and Mr..
GOOD succeeded admirably in turning the
laugh upon the ancient charger, and
completely routing the dragons. He
spoke nearly three quarters OF an hour,
refuting the Governors arguments and
driving home convincing proofs of the
expediency Of the call of a Convention,
and when he concluded vote of the
audience was called for aud resulted in
an almost unanimous shout in favor of
the call. The opponents of the Conven-
ton were completely worsted and a
magnificent victory achieved in support
Of the cause of Constitutional reform.
Its good results will be manifested in
the election tomorrow.

THE RAILROAD CONNECTION.

An effort was made in the Second
Branch Of the City Council last night
for the repeal of the ordinance giving to
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany the privilege of laying a track on
John street to connect the Two Depots
The resolution was offered by Mr..
OBRIEN and supported by him in a
vigorous speech. 1t appeared, how
ever, that the ordinance had been for
mally accepted by the Baltimore and
Ohio company and that the privilege
conferred had become vested right
which no act of repeal could legally
take away. 1t was probably owing to
this reason rather than to any other
that every member of the Second
Branch who was present voted against
the passage of the resolution, except its
author. The mistake the Council made
was in the hasty passage Of the ordi:
nance originally, and it is now too late
to rectify the error.
1t is proper to state that in reply to
the report that the railroad company
had diminished the number OF men
employed at its shops in this city since
the passage OF the ordinance in ques-
ton, Mr.. WEIseERBER, member from
the Fifth ward, stated that such a ru-
NOR is incorrect and that there is now
at the shops a larger force Of
workmen than during several months
past.
We make this publication the more
because we had ourselves
been misled by information to the con-
trary. which claimed to be reliable.

held in the city Of Columbus on the 7th
Of September, and it is suggested that a
committee Of our Board Of Supervisors
attend that meeting and ascertain upon
what terms the Pennsylvania railroad
viii give its assistance to the construc-
ton and equipment OF the road in ques'
ton.
This may result in putting the mat
ter in better shape than before. We
favored the proposition submitted to our
people last June, though conscious Of
its Objectionable features. and we now
hope that some better bargain may be
made. At all events, it is worth a trial
and even if we can obtain nothing more
than a renewal Of the identical propo-
si,ion that was formerly rejected, it
might be well to submit it again to the
people Of the county.
In the meantime, the proposed route
should be carefully surveyed and some
estimate obtained as to the amount Of
money that will be necessary for the
purposes of the road. One hundred
and fifty thousand Dollars may be toe
little, and two hundred thousand may
be too much for Ohio county to pay fol
the completion Of railroad from the
Brooke county line to some convenient
point within the city limits.
Let US first ascertain what it will cos
and then determine whether the roaC
shall be built. We were all in the DARK
last June as to the probable sum nee
essary to be raised, and the proposition
voted upon was so indefinite in its pos
sible demands upon the people of TIT
county that many were deferred from
voting for it upon that account lie
the Supervisors learn from Mr.. ScoT1
what are the best terms that can pos
sibly be obtained, and then find out al
accurately as the nature Of the case vii
permit, what it will cost us to make the
desired railroad connections, and oul
people may then determine for them
selves whether or not to authorize thu
subscription.

The Radical papers croak about the
expense Of a Convention; they never
hesitated on account of the expense
when they wanted to disfrsnchise clti-
zens and drive them from the polls.
They were willing to give thousands OF
dollars to deprive the people OF their
rights, but are Mortified by the idea of
spending a single cent for constitutional
reform. The sums unlawfully appro-
priated for the house rent of State Off
GERS during the dominance OF Radical
ism in West Virginia would be almost
if not quite sufficient Of themselves to
pay the total expense of Convention.
They are driven to desperate extrem-
ity who resort to the weak argument of
expense to prevent the people from SO
amending the Constitution as to secure
the preservation OF their rights.

IT is scarcely worth while to argu

IT is scarcely worth while to argue
any further the propriety OF Gaining a
Constitutional Convention. In fact the
advantages to be gained by revision OF
the Constitution are so plain and SO I'm
portapt to the interests OF the people,
that there should be no necessity Tor
further discussion in order to induce
our readers to support the call. The
fact is, there has been no objection
urged against it that has been found to
be tenable. Nothing but mere party
malice actuates the opponents Of the
Convention, all reasonable grounds OF
opposition having been swept away
But it is now necessary that the vote De
polled. No effort should be spared to
secure the full vote OF all the Demo
cratic party in this county Our oppo'
nents have forced party fight upon u.s.
and now let us meet the issue as we
should.
