Railroad Meeting To.Morrow.

From the Toledo DlAde,l
We learn by q letter from Milan to
Harry Chase, ESQ.,, Of this city, that Joel
Wood, Esq, President OF the w. l. L. E.
road, has notified the citizens of all the
towns on tho lines Of that road, TO send
delegates toa convention In the interests
OF said road, to be held at Wheeling on
Tuesday next, 18th inst. The object Is TO
influence favorable action on the part Of
the people Of Wheeling, in the vote to be
taken on the first Of June, on the ques.
ton OF municipal aid 10 the amount Of
$500, 900, for the construction OF q bridge
across the river from Martins Ferry to
Wheeling.
For some reason, which Is not apparent,
the matter Of this meeting has been kept
very quiet, There is just ono point in
connection with 1t that will occur to
Wheeling readers-that they are quite
capable Of judging for themselves how
their interests require them to vote next
Saturday, without being subjected to this
kind Of influence" from Ohio. If the
object of this meeting Is simply to exert
q pressure on the voters of Wheeling,
1t would appear gratuitous, not to say
impertinent. II tits the purpose to inform
our people what has been done in the
way of subscriptions and right Of way
along the route Tor some Of the many pos.
siblc routes) could not that be better done
by an exhibit oil the Company's subscrip-
ton books and deeds for right Of way ?
These would furnish good evidence-the
very best, 1t seems to US, that could be
offered. lfthese delegates from the Ohio
towns are to be brought here simply to
tell what their towns will do, VIC do not
SEQ that much real information is likely
to be added to the present stock. How
can any man say authoritatlvcly or Ger.
tainly what any community will do in a
matter of this kind. There have been
quite enough of these loose promi.
SEES. They are not a good basis
for practical work. The time has
CONC for more exact and business. like
proceedings. We trust, therefore, that the
Subscription books and right Of way deeds
will be exhibited at this meeting, and that
lists of them will be furnished for publica.
ton. Then our citizens will know def.
nitely what has been done, instead of being
longer amused by promises of what is to
be done. 1t would certainly be useful to
the citizen in making up his mind,
whether to vote for Or against these sub.
scriptions, TO know definitely what
amount of local aid has actually been Sc.
cured along the route. We do not see
that any evidence on this point is worth a
farthing but the books and deeds.

Martial Law.

The President cannot constitutionally sus-
pend the writ of habcds corpus. He cannot
with his troops interfere in executing thc
laws of any State unless thereto requested
by the Governor or the Legislature of such
State. OF course he cannot declare martial
law where he has no troops. Nevertheless
General GRANT, when asked by the mayor OF
New Orleans to declare martial law in that
city. found it in his heart to respond as fol-
lows:
"Martnl law viii not be proclaimed i'll
New Orleans under existing circumstances,
and no assistance will be given by Federal
authority to persons or purtics unlawtllly re.
sisting the constitutional authorities of The
State"
This, VIC are told, was sent after consul
talion with his Cabinet. Thus we have oil
official declaration that under certain circum
stances GRANT would declare martial law IL
any State, although there had been no resist
ance Of the laws Of the United States and NJ

tics. Yet we are gravely assured by man.

4 Poor MAN Speaks.
For the Dispatch.


Mr.. Editor,-I am a Vrginisn, and no.
thing Virginian is Indifferent to me. During
the war l cut from your paper the following,
taken by you from the Washington Repu5h-
san:
"If there has been deAdence Of the manly
virtues in the Old Dominion, it is not be-
cause the present generation has proved it
self either weak or cowardly or not equal to
the greatest emergencies. No people with
50 few numbers ever put into the field and
kept there so long troops more numerous,
brave, or more efficient, or produced gene
rails Of more merit in all the kinds and grades
Of military talent. 1t Is not WORKOUT and
efiete race which has produced Lee, Johnson,
Jackson, Ashby, and Stuart 1t is not q
WORKOUT and cticte race which for eighteen
months has defended its capital against
the approach Of IN enemy close upon
their borders and outnumbering them
thirty to one. 1t is not a worn out and eifete
race which has preserved substantial popular
unity under all the strain and pressure and
sacrifices Of this unprecedented war. Let
history as was said of another race, (which
records their unhappy fate as a people, do
justice to their rude virtues as men, They
are fighting madly in a bad cause, but they
are fighting bravely. They have few towards
and no traitors. The hardships Of war are
endured without murmur by all classes,
and the dangers Of war without fiinching
by the newest conscript; while their gentry,
the offshoot Of their peculiar social system,
have thrown themselves into the camp and
field with the dash and spirit Of the European
nobEesse Of the Middle Ages, risking, without
apparent concern, upon desperate adven-
ture, all that men value and, after genera
ton of peace and repose and security, which
had not emasculated them, presenting to
their enemies trained and intrepid front as
of men born and bred to war;"
Your comment upon this was:
"These are extraordinary statements, COM
ing as they do from an ultra Republican pa-
per-"
But it is a glowing and not unmerited
tribute to the worth and yalor of Virginians,
and the more grateful to Figinians because
forced from their enemies. As terrible and
ss earnest as the contest was in which Fir-
ginians eXtorted this praise from their enc
mics, it is not more so than that in which she
is now engaged. Moral courage in resistance
against inducements to dishonorable act,
when the performance Of that act will con-
fer a present advantage, is higher and no
bier attribute than mere bravery. Aristides,
just in his exile and poverty, is an object OF
higher reverence to me than Thcmistoeles,
rolling in Eastern splendor and luxury, yet
lacking integrity. "To triumph over our
selves Is the only conquest where fortune
makes no claim. In battle, chance may snatch
the laurel from thee, or chance may place It
on thy brow; but ina contest with thyselt
be resolute, and the yirtuous impulse must
be the victor" If Virginia's Legislature
does not falsely represent the honor and In
tegrity of her people, there can be no such
thing as Reputation, public or private. So
thinks poor man-a taxpayer but
s.1''ss.' ~, No BoNDHoLpER,

The Norfolk Day-Book raises the cry OF
corruption because it is stated that islse
number Of State bonds-more than enough
to fund the whole debt-had been signed oy
! Treasurer RYE before he gave up his o!ilce. "e
have no authoritative information i'll regard
either to the charge, or, supposng II 10 lie
true, the reasons which induced hr' RYE 10
sign these bonds. But we think we can
e,,lcss the truth as to the latter. First, he
did not expect to have to give up his ONCE
Secondly, the law requires the bolds 10 NC
dated as Of July 1st, 1871. Thirdly, The la"
nroyidcs that the bonds shall be in SUMS OF
500 or multiplcs thereof Except the lrac-
tional ones). Now, it is plain that one bond
holder might select 800 bonds, another $2o"
bonds, another 81 900 bonds, and SO on
Mr.. RYE could not know beforehand
but that all Of the debt would be funded
in bonds of any one Of these denominations
and it follows that he was compelled to have
nrepared Of each denomination moro than
would probably DC required OF each' Inc
sum of them all, therefore, largely exceeded
the amount Of the public debt. Twenty NIL
lions each Of the multiples from one to ter
hundred would count up s200,cGo,QOO. How
could he tell in advance how many millions
Of each denomination to prepare! Aha
being required by Jaw to prepare enough OF
each, and to date them all rs Of July lst, 1874
what could be more natural or reasonable
than that he should both date and sign man!
millions more than have been u5cdS
sIr. RYE was not reelected Treasurer, but
his defeat was not owing to any charge or to
,nv SUSPICION OF malfeasancc i'll Office on his
part. The paragraphs that are going the
rounds of the newspapers in reference to
this matter arc calculated to damage the GOOD
name of this State, whose officials have, ever
since we knew anything Of them, been men
of unbemishcd regulations and unsuspected
INTEGRITY. A committee of the House Of Dele
satcs-no doubt at the request of Mr.. RYE
IRE now investigating the charge which is the
subject of this article, and will, we believe,
find that there has been nothing done by him
of which the Legislature will complain.

them that we are aware Of except TO pay

lature were to take off the burden OF TAXA
ton altogether still the relief would hardy
be felt, so great is the pressure from other
quarters. We do not wish to beunderstood as

should not pay the january interest-the
whole of it-as we have the money ID lne

is not only right, but it is the best poncy.
Is it worth nothing to preserve the 1alr nanie

Defeat of Harlan.

Every honest man who knows him cugh
to rejoice that Senator HARLAN has been dis
APPOINTED Of reelection. Hon. WILLIAM E
ALLISON, also Republican, has been chosen
by the Iowa Legislature to succeed him
HARLAN is one of the most supple Of thu
tools of GRANT, and was, up to the time o.
his entrance into public life, and pro
badly still continues to be, a leading clergy
man in that immense political organization
known as the Northern Methodist Church
He was poor when he became a sena
tor; he is rich now. Whether he was
ever honest or not we cannot say. HI
was the rival of HENRY CLAY DEAS--frst
In the church, DEAN also being a northern
Methodist preacher, and afterwards in tht
State. DEAN has doubtless been expelled
from the church, since it seems to be prett,
well understood that whilst it tolerates politi
cal preaching, and, indeed, ccmmends it as
praiseworthy, it does not admit that Thu
kind of preaching is allowable in Democrat
In fact, the Democrats of the North all belong
to some other Church, we imagine, or to none
HARLAN, SIMPSON, HAVEN, and their coadju
tors, long ago made the Northern Methodist
Church too hot for any but negrophilists'
1t was this Church which demoralized the
honestEsauasnry Of West Virginia, alienated
their Affections from their mother State, and
J finally induced them to countenance the cree
Z ton of a new State within her limits; and
this new State was for some i've or six years
Offered by the most worthless set of vaga-
bonds that any State net cursed with scala-
wags and carpct-baggers ever had to submit
to. There is distinguished gentleman now
residing in this city who told lis five years
before it was brought to light that the north
cru Methodist preachers were engaged in o
conspiracy to bring about division Of Viz
GINA. Harlan, being one Of the leaders in
sthis Church, was by it hoisted intothe United
States Senate. When his term was about to
expire, Pope NEWMAN, Of Washington, as ne
