RAILROAD.

We publish letter IN re-
gard to the railroad OH the first
page of this issue. Mr.. Lang
ley is mistaken in regard TO
what was said by MIR. Dan.
Will and the editor Of the Rec
ord. What was said was that
when our citizens we're assured
after an actual survey that the
road from the Station to Lo-
gan could be made ready
for the iron for $4,000 we
thought Vinton county would
raise its, share of that sum
promptly. .....
The assurance given by Mr..
Mcleod after his partial survey
was encouraging to the friends
Of the road, but was not regard
ed as settling the matter defin-
itely; and until the cost of the
road is known as nearly as pos
sible-until We have figures
we must work to or lose the
road but little more can be
done in the way of subscrip~
,tions in VinIon county. VI
What we want now is the en-
gineer and estimates, and then
those who are willing to work
will make a short and decisive
campaign for the necessary
subscriptions. They feel con-
fdent that they Will be success
ful, but it will be at least de.
cisire, and if they fail it will
not ba because the matter is
not fairly presented to the'peo'
pie, but because our people
haven't sufficient foresight tC
see teeir best interests.

little dissatisfied with their own work.
No sooner had they reconstructed the
South than they set to work to recon-
reconstructed it over again they did
not like it much more than when they
had done it first, and, therefore they
reconstructed it once more. And
this bill is to reconstruct it for the
fourth or fifth time. The course of
the Republican party in this respect
reminds me of Prince Paul in the
French opera of the "Grande Ouch
esse." When the prime minister of
his highness came to the Duchess and
proposed his hand in marriage, he
was invited to walk up stairs, then
along corridor, then down stairs,
then along other corridors; up more
stairs, along more corridors down
further stairs, along further corridors,
up further stairs; or, as the French
has it: ii montera, il avancera, il de-
scendera alors il remontera, il reav-
ancera, il redescendera alors il re-re-
montera, il re-reavancera, il re-rede-
scendera; alors il re-re-remontera,
and SO forth. That is just about tho
way it is with reconstruction. We
first had construction; then recon-
struction; then re-reconstruction
then re-re-reconstruotion aud this
