FROM t,,n hitelliges1ccr we learn thai
the Council of the city of Wheeling
has set its sealupon the promised aid
to the w. & T. V. Railway. A meet
ing was held on Tuesday of last week
: at which a request was made that the
Council should petition the Legislature
| for the right to levy tax of $500, ,0OC
flor the above purpose. The Council
refused to do so unless the depot and
lshops should be located on the east side
tof the main channel instead of on the
Island. This virtually destroys all
hope of aid from the city of Wheeling.
Ito either the Wheeling Valley or Hope
dale road. We regret this. There are
a few men in Wheeling that have some
regard for her interests, and there are
also not a few who ought. to take up
their abode at Charleston at the earliest
possible moment. But there is still
satisfaction Ia the unWavering belief
that a connection will be made by a.
road from Dennison with some point
on the Ohio river. 1t may not be this
year, but the thing must be DONE
With the present apathy OF Wheeling|
we cannot see that railroad men should
longer look to that place as terminous.
Bellaire is next on the list and the
shortest route from Dennison to thel
latter place must bear the preference
It has been said that st. Clairsville
will give Sc, 900 to have the road pass
through or near her limits. We bave
but little fear that the pledge would bel
redeemed and that cheerfully. Thel
people of Flushing and tie upper part
of Wheeling Valley would be:as much
interested in this route as any others--l
An outlet is what they want, Shall
we wait TO see where the road will be-
built, or shall we build It? -. -, e ,a.l -,
THE Dedication of the Presbyterian
Church at Warnock Station took place.
on Tuesday last. The Reverend DIR.
Grimes of Cadis preached an appropri-
ate discourse to large and attentive
audience. The day was stormy, and
many were prevented from coming,
but representatives were there from
churches of all denomina-
lions. The debt on the building was
iound to be $3.50, and as it could not be
yiven to God in that condition, the peo-
pie set themselves to work to subscribe 3
70 that object. All joined in, in sums
rom one hundred dollars to one dollar,
md continued to add one subscription
% another until it was announced that
1865 was pledged. Then the house, freel
II debt, was soIemnIy dedicated tothel
Worship of God. e ss. : sss s2'2sf.; .sss,7s 81

think the proposed law is . good
one in every particular. The wives,
mothers and daughters Of our land
are the greatest sufferers from the
evil influences and effects which
grow ont Of the sin Of intelnperance,
and should be permitted to aid in
the decision Of license or no license

follow which will draw largely upon
the profits. With the Oregonian,
however, and quite q anumbcr ofthe

we cannot help but think that the

The East Portland Efd says that
the REGIsTER concludes that
rcSalities Of Republicsnism are too
large to he entertained for one mo
ment, but If the figures were put
less there would hardly be room TO
doubt" The Ira misrpfesents US.
Our language was not 50 imperfect,
and our points 50 obscurely made,
as to lead that Journal astray IN re-
gard to oarrcal meaning. We said
in substance that the Democracy
had set afoat 50 many false and ex- ex
trayaga,.t stories about Republican
dSfalcations and dishonesties, that
crcdibility was out ofquestion; that
if the figures had been put some
where within the range Of reason III
estimating the value Of Gen. Grants
possessions, there might have been
found some persons credulous
enough to believe they falscl'ood ;
but as it was tile projectors Of the
charge we're tile only ones who were
justly regarded as dishonest. The
above structure Of the Era, which
We cannot interpret in any other
light than an intentional effort to
miconstrue our meaning, is q fair
sample Of Democratic fairness and
honesty.

rumors and conjectures were in
dulgcd in by Portland journals in
attempting TO account for the mys-
terry, Nothing, however, was defin-
itely determined until . coroner's
inquest was held. Since then it
has come 70 light that the remains
are those of Mr.. John Clark, who,
Aew yean ago, WAS hung in Idaho

1t has lately come to light that
the State Department at Washing.
ton has two cases on hand in which
two prominent American Ministers
are charged IN general terms by the
powers to which they are accredited
with offenses of a similar character
to those committed by Catacazy,
Minister Sickles is represented by
the Spapish authorities %, taking
such ! part in the discussion o.
politics ii 70 give great ofIense st
Madrid; and though the matter
has been brought to The attention oi
Secretary Fish in 3 friendly way,
yet the return Of Sickles is not de-
sired. The second case is Geo. p.
Marsh, our Minister to Italy. The
attention of the Italian authorities
has lately been called to the con-
tents Of o letter which was written
by Marsh to Secretary Fish on Sep
tember 18th, 1870, in which he
plainly eriticises the duplcity and
undecided course Of the Italian gov
ernment. 1t is intimated that the
letter was not intended for publica-
tion, but was placed BY the clerk
among those selected for the pin-
ters. However this may be, the
Italian authorities were made famil-
lar with its contents, and since then
they have shown considerable cool
ness in their treatment of Minister
Marsh. No formal request has
been made to recall him, bl,t 1t is
understood that they cannot regard
with friendly feelings q Minister
who has accused their government
of continual .duplicity.
