Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1871-09-15

Of the charge, which has been often made.
that it was not our purpose to build the
main stem through this county to the Po-
tomac river, our Board contracted with
the Charles County Commissioners to re-
ceive the quota to which that county was
entitled under the State Constitution and
the act of 1868, in instalmspts, as the
work progressed IN the county,. Of the
$175, 900 apportioned to Charles we were
to receive one-fourth upon the completion
of half the grading, second fourth when
all the grading in Charles was entirely
finished, and the remaining half on the
laying of half the track in that county =
These terms, very fair to both parties,
have been promptly complied with by the
Commissioners. On the completion Of
half the grading, they appointed an engi-
neer for the county to examine and re-
ceive the work On his satisfactory re-
port they made a requisition upon the
Treasurer of the State for the first install
ment of $43, $50, and Immediately on the
grading being finished last month, they
called for the second instalment of the
same amount. It.affords us great pleas
ure to thank the Commissioners, and their
attorney, Mr.. Vivian Brent. for their
prompt and friendly cooperation. and the
Comptroller and Treasurer Of the State
for their ready acquiescence; and it is a
great satisfaction to the President to re-
port that the finances of tire State justified
the immediate payment of both install
ments. Certificates of stock were, of
course, issued to the State of Maryland
for the full amount paid$87 800.
sUPERsTRUcTURE.
Cross-ties of the very best material and
of the largest size have been provided and
are nearly all in place. Our stipulations
required that three -fourths of the ties
should be seven inches thick by eight
inches wide, and the other fourth seven
by ten inches While none have passed
inspection under the minimum width, very
many exceed twelve inches, and we doubt
whether in the world there is road which
has upon it ties of the same size and.qual-
ity
Our rails correspond with the ties. We
are laying the heaviest rail made. weigh
ing sixty-four pounds to the yard, and we
believe the road. when finished. will be
the best in the United States. In conse-
quence of the great scarcity of stone in the
country through which the road runs, we
feared great difficulty in obtaining proper
ballast. except at great cost and length Of
transportation. But, fortunately, in ex-
cavating for the road we discovered i'm
mense deposits of the finest gravel. oi
which we have made large purchases for
ballasting purposes. We are informed
that it makes one of the very best ballasts
Contracts have been made for all of the
iron. except about 1000 tons of rails,
most of which has been delivered at Anna.

with the request of theaauthorities of that
city, we delayed greater accumulation
there to provide against accident and loss.
Our rails have been purchased at Allen
town, Pa, from the Abbott Company.

TRACK LAYING.
The laying of the traek was commenced
on May 18th, at the a.. and E. Railroad.
and progressed southetly to the Little Pa
tuxent river, to which, the bridge to be
erected over it was transported. Whilst
this. was being put upthe track was laid
northerly from the A. and E. Railroad to
the Patapsco river On its completion
there it was received at the Little Patux-
ent, carried to the Big Patuxent, the
bridge transported and erected. On the
21st of August the construction train pass
ed over the Big Patnxent bridge, from
Anne Arundel to Prince Georges county,
leaving all the track laid in Anne Arun-
del. On the 31st Of August the track
was laid in Prince Georges county as far
as Huntingdon, the Washington Junction.
Since then it has been progressing on the
Washington Branch.
Now that the Patuxent bridges are COM
pleted, there. will be nothing in the way
of laying the track rapidly. both on the
main stem and Washington Branch. Two
forces. one on the main stem and another
on the Branch, will be put to work imme-
diately, and kept engaged until the whole
is flushed. 81
| We expect by early in December to
have the track laid from the Calverton
Station, where we connect with the Balti-
more street passenger cars, to Maryland
avenue, in Washington. The grading
will be done in Baltimore county and the
bridge up over the tPatapsco river by the
time the track layerspn the Branch reach
Washington, when they will return and
take up the track laying at the Patapsce
| in the direction Of Baltimore. Not to fix
any earlier. time, and thus it may be. by
the interruption Of q severe winter. cause
disappointment to our friends in Lower
Maryland. we promise to have the track
completed through Charles county to the
Potomac by the time required by our con.
tract with the Ghal1 1es County Commits.

lifo, example and teachings we're OF
great benefit TO mankind. Now
Christ taught during the whole of
His earthly career that He was the
Son of God, immediately concelv'
ed, and that He came into this
world to suffer death that man
might be redeemed from SIN All
know, who are acquainted with the
Doctor, that he holds strenuouSly
10 the position that the world Is
never benefited by teaching 1T n
falsehood. Now he asserts that
what Christ taught was and is
false, but at the same time admits
that 1t greatly benefited the world.

On last Saturday We met DIR.
Aambleton OF the street, and be
signifed his intention of writing
an article, Cor publication IN this
paper, IN which he would set forth
and "bulld up" his Theological
faith. This article will be found
in another column Ct this paper,
and we have no doubt but that all
who read it will consider the Doc
tors Theology a very fimsy affair.
As usual with such writers, be
starts ont with finding fault with
the Christian religion, complains
because Christians claim their re-
liglon 70 be the only perfect syss
ten, that they 'fgnore reason" &c,
and then sagely % iRtlmates that
these alleged faults of Christianity
are the sole foundation Of his TheOlo-
gu Oh, Doctor ! be this true,
then had ChrIst not come for 8
thousand years yet, the world
would have been without thy "pro-
found, ~phiiosophic, scientific" utter
ancesi
Next, the Doctor claims that the
Earth, with all its products, is pro-
gressive," &c, and thereupon he re-
jects the account of the Garden OF
Eden, fall of man, curse Of the
world, aud It's redemption by the
Great Vicar, the Lord Jesus
Christ. While we do not see what
this has to do with building up a
new religion, and while it is CD
tirely of the p~ulI>down style Of ar
gument, yet, 1t may as well be an
svered. Gong On the superstition
that the Doctors position relative
to the Earth being progressive, &C.,
is true, and which at the best Is
but guess WORK, We would ask who
created this nebulOWS matter, impart-
ing to IT the elements of what lie
calls "progrosslon,' and out 81
which the Earth and all that is on
it has been formed ? Further may
not the account of the Garden Of
Eden, and of course all the subse-
ouent matters mentioned by the
Doctor, coincide with this idea o.
the Cres:ion? We think SO! Al
clergymen, we believe, admit
that the six days of Creation men,
toned in the Bible, meal six Indef-
mite periods of time that might
have extended through millions o.
years, thereby giving ample time
for the slow process of progressive
Creation.
The Doctor rejects the doctrines
OF Immaculate Conception and o
Vicarious Atonement. We con.
cIuie by his connecting these two
doctrines, shat he refers, by the
term Immaculate Conception, K
the immaculate conception of Je.
sus Christ, which Protestants and
Catholics alike hold to. and not Il
that of the Virgin Mary, which thc
Catholics alone hold ID. In rejoc-
ting Jesus Christ as being the in
carLate Son ofGod, and as suffer
ing death for the redemption o
man. the Doctor admits that H.

PRICES OF FAMILY GROCERIES,
On the 1st of January the redue-
ton of the revenue taxes made at
The last session of Congress went
into effect. On the following arti-
cles of family use the reduction OF
duties per pound is as here set
down:
Teas. all kinds, 10 cts. per pound.

cts. Sugar, 1 ct. Cinnamon, 10

10 cts. Ginger, 3 cts. Nutmegs.
so cts. Cloves, is cts. Prunes, q
cts.
The law making this reduction
postponed its operation so that
dealers might prepare for it. Con-
sequently, large quantities OF these
articles have accumulated in the
Government ware houses, to be
drawn out now, when the new tar
if is IN operation. Consumers are
entitled 20 an immediate reduction
in the prices of these articles in &C"
eordauee with the above reduction
IN the tariff. The times demand eve
~ reduction in the cost of living
that can be reasonably made.
The wheat, corr aud pork Of the
farmers labor, are bringing but a
low figure; the wages Of the me-
ehanie and laborer have been re-
dueed; and 1t is now becoming that
all should have the advantage Of
this reduction in the tariff. Deal
crs would do well to advertise re.
duced prices.
