WE heard yesterday of one Of our
most wealthy and distinguished citizens
declaring himself in favor of the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie railroad and the
bridge. He gave it as his opinion that
it is our last and best chance to get an
opening to tie Northwest; that the
proposed cooperation Of the Wheeling
and Lake Erie railroad in the building
OF the bridge is most liberal, practical
and fair one, and that if We bliudly
allow this chance to escape US, we had
as well fence in our city and bid fare
well to hope Of fair competition. This
is serious but none the less true view
of the matter. The citizens of Wheeling
may well despair Of keeping up in the
great race Of the busy business world if
we drive from our very gates the enter
prise and foreign capital now seeking
entrance.

MAJOR HEREFORD, Of the Third Dis
trict, made quite a hit in the House Of
Representatives last Saturday and crea~
ted a good deal Of merriment The
tariff bill was being perfected and
HEREFORD moved that white hats and
coats" be placed on the free list.
Amid general laughter, the Democrats
and anumber of Republicans voted aye,
and it was found upon the count that
the motion was lost by a majority Of
only two. We suppose, however, that
this can hardly be considered a very
exact indication of the strength of the
GREELEY party in the House, as the
passage Of the resolution would have
been a singular commentary upon the
teachings Of the Apostle of Protec-
tion."

Cowardin's White Hat.

Mr.. James A. Cowardln, the editor OF
the we'll conducted and popular jour-
nal, the Richmond Dispatch, on the
nomination made at Cincinnati by the
Liberal party, telegraphed to Mr.. Hor-
ace Greeley as follows:
ALLOW printer editor, two years
older than yourself, to congratulate you
upon your nomination. You and l
have differed widely, but We can meet
cordially upon the platform OF amnesty
and justice in support Of the dignity,
peace, honor aud glory of our country.
The South supports you cbeerfully.'

AFTER GREEIEY-wHAr.

Have any Of the Democrats who are
anxious to have the National Conven-
ton endorse the nomination Of GREELEY
and BRowN reflected upon the conse-
ouences OF the ultimate defeat Of that
ticket3 We see every day very SAN
guine predictions OF its success, but the
gentlemen who are urging the Demo-
cratic party to make GREELEY and
Brown its standard bearers in the
coming Presidential campaign seem to
have ignored the possibility Of defeat
and have made no provision for dis
aster. II the people of the country
could be convinced that Democratic
endorsement Of this ticket would make
its election an absolutely sure thing,
the work Of the Baltimore Convention
would be greatly simplified and there
would be little room for difference of
opinion among Democrats as to the
proper course to be pursued. But
suppose the party should be
willing to SO far forget what
HORACE GREELEY has been during
the past forty years as to make him its
candidate for the Presidency, and
should still be beaten, what then? If a
Democrat be nominated and defeated
the party organization will remain in
tact and 10 future contest may yet
achieve success; but if GREELEY be
Nominated and defeated can the Demo
cratic party, as such, survive the blow =?
We are not faint.hearted as to the
result of the coming campaign and do
not srpec, defeat. We believe that the
Democratic party has a very fair chance
Of success; a chance that is daily in
creasing. The election of Democratic
statesman is by no means a hopeless
undertaking and we believe also that Mr..
GREELEY can be elected if the National
Convention should see fit to recommend
that course. But it is the par: Of a
prudent General, although confident
OF victory, to see that his line
of retreat is secure, in order
that repulse may not result in an ir-
retrievable rout. Two negroes were
discussing the comparative dangers OF
railroad and steamboat travel when one
of them summed up and concluded the
whole case by saying If de cars run
off de track, dar ye is; but if you's
blowed up in a steamboat, 'char is yc?'
II the GREELEY steamboat should blow
up with all the Democratic party on
board, would there be enough of the
party found to hold a coroners inquest
over2 The GREELEY Democrats are re.
specially advised to take the matter
into consideration.

Every Intelligent mind appreciates
the Importance of the judicial depart
ment of the Government. 1t has to
deal with the fortunes OF every citizen.
Each and every member of the COM
munity is protected by it. Without it
the object for which governments are
instituted would fail, but with pure
and intelligent judiciary every right
intended to be secured is protected and
enjoyed. Life, liberty and property
are the subjects that belong to the
judicial department. For their enjoy
ment and preservation an incorruptible
judiciary is indispensable. Let the
people of our new State, now that the
opportunity is afforded them in time
OF profound peace look well to the men
to whom they will entrust the exercise
of the powers belonging to this branch
of our State government. In our own
circuit we have good lawyers and hon.
est men from whom to select judge
that we know will command the respect
and confidence OF the community and the
profession. A judge who will preside

we can and ought TO have. Such
Judges we have had in other days
and can have them again. In this
Circuit we have it in our power to select
a man who has experience and who for
years discharged the duties Of Circuit

IT is no disgrace to a woman to live
single, to belong to class honored by
such women as Florence Nightingale
and Dorothes Dix and Mary Lyon and
Clara Barton, and that noble milliner
of Bristol, and an army Of other sisters
Of mercy too numerous to be cata.
logued. 1t is far nobler to marry no
body, than it is to marry a nobody, or
to marry a knaye, or to marry merci-
narily, or to marry unworthily in any
way. The fact that a woman has lived
single does not prove that she is not
vendible, but it does prove that she has
never been sold.

ALL classes of our citizens are deeply
interested in the proposed railroad and
bridge subscription, but none more go
than the manufacturers and the work
ipgmen. We learn that the contractors
for building and equipping the road pro-
pose to have the passenger and freight
cars for the new railroad built in this
city and are willing to make contract
to that effect, provided the work can be
done here as cheap as in Pittsburgh;
and we presume that any of our firms
that have facilities for that kind OF
work will very readily compete with
Pittsburgh in price. Especially in the
manufacture of car wheels our city
ought to compete with any other local
ity in the country, and there is no good
reason why car building may not be-
come an important branch of industry
here.
Nearly all of the money for the
building of the bridge will tie spent
here, and nearly all the work may be
done by Wheeling mechanics, indeed
quite all of it if the iron work can be
done in any of our mills.
What with the bridge and the rail-
road work that may be done in this
city, not less than million dollars will
be paid out to Wheeling mechanics
laboring upon these two enterprises
during the next two years. The effect
of this will be to stimulate all branches
Of trade and give a fresh impetus to
every department of industry. The
benefits to accrue from making the
proposed subscriptions will thus COM
mence Immediately, and the growth of
the city from the improved commercial
advantages secured by direct railroad
connection with the Northwest will
continue the prosperity which our
mechanics and business men will enjoy
during the progress OF the work.
