A New RAIL ROAD BlLL.-We learn
from the Frederick papers that bill
has been prepared in that city for pres
entation to the present Legislature,
authorizing the Commissioners of this
county to subscribe $275,000 to the
Frederick and Pennsylvania Line
Railroad ,$75, 900 to the Frederick and
Williamsport railroad, and $4,000 to
the Emmitsburg railroad, and issue
bonds therefor bearing interest at six
per cent. per annum, exempt from
State, county and municipal taxation.

That S pretty kettle Of fish con-
cocted by some "Tweco cliqHe or
ring of wire-workers We shoul"
like to see the Commissioners from
this end of the county attempting to
saddle 100000 more on the Tax
Payers. If the rich people of Frcder'
ick and Nliddletown want to build
Railroads let them put their own
shoulders to the WHEEL. This "imagl-
nary sch me finds no indorsers up
this way If Frederick and Iittles-
town cant put through their own
Railroad, without calling upn Hercu-
les for help, they had better give it
up.

world is wide, this is free country,
and every person has right to 60

Since the exposure OF tho attempts made by CO r
tain unscrupulo us local Dealers to palm off their
co arse astrlngents, mado from cheap and impure
materials, in the place of the great national tonic
Hostetters Stomach Bitter, publ, opinion has set
strongly against these empires and their preparar
lions. Their occupation is gone, or soon will be.
When the light Is let into deception 1t soon willis
down. Persons w4o trile with their own health, by
using unknown preparatio ns, with no guarantee to
sustain them, when establ shed specific, proven
by twenty years. experience to be exactly what it
is claimed to be- is within their reach are sure to
pent their temerity. Many have done SO in this in
stance but 1t is hoped that the truth plainly spo-
ken has arrested the evil, In the meantime the de-
mand for the leading protective and restorative
medi cine of America was never so great as 1t has
been this season. From the ftver and ague dis
tricts Of the west southwest and SOUTH it is literal
ly overwhelming, and may be said of tho advices
from all parts of the country of the 1t is effect
ing In dyspepsia, bilious complaints, and chronic
constipation, that ''their name is legion" Every
where the sick ana feeble seem to have realized the
Importance of ''holdug fast that which Is good,
and of avoiding what is spuri Gus and dangerous.
The numerous "Bitters," under various names,
which mercenary dealers endeavor to substitute for
Hostetters Stomach Biters, should BE- avoided, for
their sakes by the sick and the public at large.

German Emigration.

Our journals throughout tho land have
been iceining with The Hostility Of the Ger.
mnu Empire 10 emigration. Tho manlfes.
tation Of this feeling II unexpected, be-
cause 80 contrary to the very friendly SEN
timent that prevailed with Count Blsmark
nj the time OF signing the naturalization
treaty with North Germany, by which 1t
was agreed that naturalization should be
perfectly free. We learn now, however,
tnnt this decided change of feeling to-
wards the United States has been caused,
without doubt, by the unirieDdly attitude
Of President Grant toward Germany, in
her late war with France. Prince Bis
marck has been recognized MS the greatest
friend of the United States in Germany,
and it WAS through his influence that the
treaty of 1868 was obtained; indeed, the
greatest obstacles, it is known, come from
the military party who saw in II a weak
ening Of tho influence which the govern
ment had over every eligible soldier until
his fortieth year. President Grant, it is
said, has seriously offended this party, as
well rs the Emperor himself, by his con-
duct in the sale of arms to France. The
change in the policy Of the government at
Berlin took place during the absence OF
Prince Bismarck at Varzin, and the direct
cause was one which arose within the De-
partment of war. The unavoidable con-
clusion then is, that the conduct of Presi-
dent Grant during the late war has been
so detrimental to the interests Of Germans
in America, that those who return to their
native country without naturalization, arc
liable to severe penalties for emigration,
and possibly even those who shall have
been naturalized may be subjected TO Sc
