if you can get any man that
will do better for your interests
than | have, or may do, say so,
and | will resign the position l
occupy.
At the meeting of the D!i-
rectors on Saturday last, after
an examination of the surveys
and estimates Of the engineers
as far as made, it was thought
that the estimates made were
sufficient to show the entire
practicability Of building the
Road ; and Notwithstanding
some parts Of the routes esti.
mated on can be materially
improved and the cut lessened
by further instrumental sur
veys, it was deemed most 'ex-
pedient to defer such further
surveys until we commenced
work for final location, and it
was also decided to be best to
suspend any further estimates
for the present, and also to
defer deciding upon a final To-
cation of the Road until the
next regular meeting in two
weeks from last Saturday,
when it was hoped we would
have q full board, and then de-
eide on location if thought ad.
visable.
The present estimate for a
Road from here to a connection
with the old road bed near
Macarthur, as stated in Mac
Leod's report is,
For 80 89-1OO miles, Big

There is great trouble in
Washington! President Grant
is at Long Branch, where he
has been during the SUMMER
Unfortunately he could not
take all of his blooded horses
with him; the consequence is
there has been trouble on
account of it. The new terri
torial government at Washing.
ton signalized its advent to
power, some weeks ago, by the
establishment Of an institution
called pound and the crea-
ton of q new officer called the
"Pound-maSter.? This Pound.
master, in obedience to the
laws, made and provided, be.
gan forthwith to make raids on
all the geese, goats, and hogs,
and other animals, roaming at
large around the Capitol. His
exploits in this line have been
about the only sensation there
during the heated term. On
Friday he eclipsed all his pre-
vious efforts bycapturing three
splendidly groomed horses,
roaming around loose IN the
vicinity oftbe White House..
There was, of course a great
deal of speculation as to the
ownership of the. blooded ami
mails, when finally it was ascer-
tanned that the gentlemen at
White House had so far neg
lected their duty as to allow
the Presidents horses to es-
cape, An orderly from the
Executive Mansion soon made
his appearance at the pound,
and claimed the horses as the.
property of the President. He
was informed that the only way
ito get them out was by com
plying with the Requirements
of the law and paying two dol,
lars apiece for them, which he
paid reluctantly, declaring that
when the President came home
the money would have to be
refunded, or he would stay
away from Washington alto
gether; and take all his blood
ed horses, presents, &C., along
with him. ..

On these routes, estimates OF

form, have been made of Nos. 5 and

others had not an equal merit Of
cheapness of cost.
The Exhibit which accompanies
this report shows that. tho aggrc.
cato cost of No s twill be 1855, ,043 0S,
or $40, 1871 10 per mile and the cost
of No. 7 will be S348, ,G9l 50, or So

ton, further instrumental examina-
ton should be mado between the
Goth and 30th miles, from the lands
of Mckenzie to Piorco Run. A
change from tho present line would
involve the cost of two bridges over
tho Raccoon, but doubtless il would
be relieved Of some very abrupt
curvature and expensive tunneling.

made for less expensive passage

Sound Views of a Leading
Republican Statesman.

In q very able article, Hon.
David A. Wells, who, BY the
way, isa recognized Republican
Statesman comes to these con-
clusions: He finds that the
complaints of the working peo-
pie, in spite Of the nominally
increased rates of wages, are
general, and that The wages do
not meet the cost of the f1eces-
salies of life. Ships are rot.
ting at the. wharves, important
branches of manufacturers are
abandoned, and producers Of
staple articles claim that they
earn no profits. Commerce il
crippled, and, while exports
diminish, imports increase in
proportion. The people are
now using less tea, coffee and
sugar, and fewer shoes and
boots than before the war.

STRANGE THING IN CONNECTION WIT

STRANGE THING IN CONNECTION WITH
THE GRANIrEvILLE TROUBLES. Six white
men and one negro have been arrested
in Graniteville. brought to this place,
and here lodged in Jail. Their arrest is
based upon extremely vague suspicion,
so far as we can learn, of their being
connected with the killing of the negro
girl who shot Mr.. Brewers child. The
white men nre Messrs. Brewer. William
son, Ovens, Arthurs. Ramsey and Batter.
The negro is named Hatcher. These
men are to be brought before Judge
Melton, this morning. Wednesday, on
a writ of habeas corpus, and will proba-
bly, be released on bail.
The strange thing about the matter is
this: That while seven men are arrested
on account of the negro girl, not soul
is arrested on account of the beloved
and martyred young Turner.
