large profits from these operations
Yerkes, long since, made an affidavit,
stating that Hartranft's speculations

The Southern Road.

The Cincinnati Commercial reviews the
history of this road in the following terse
language
What is known as the Ferguson Bill
was passed by both Houses Of the Legisla-
ture of Ohio authorizing the city of Gin
cinnati to issue bonds for ten million dol
lars to build and equip a railroad to Chat
tanOOga. The people Of the city voted to
proceed under the act to build the road,
and five Trustees, not one of whom was a
practical railroad man, were appointed by
the Superior Court. They labored in much
travail with the Kentucky Legislature and
produced nothing but a ridiculous muss.
A year passed by and again the labor
came at its appointed time, resulting in
the production of a charter SO overloaded
with eXcrescences that its parents and all
the Ohio portion of the family are dis
gusted, and the representatives of the city
in Council assembled have requested, by q
vote of nearly four to one, the Trustees to
disown the hantling. The public senti-
ment in the city has changed so much in
the meantime that the project is regarded
as virtually abandoned, and the vote of
the City Council is a fair index of the
feeling to-day among business men and
taxpayers. Some of the reasons for this
are, that great rival railroad corporations
centering here can not stop without new
connections with the South; that for
bonus of one-tenth the proposed sum, pri-
vale parties are ready to build the road;
that $4,000, 900 will not build the road and
the amopnt spent will not be justified by
any receipts; that it will be road run
ming through and necessarily controlled
by another State; that there is nothing to
prevent Louisville from tapping it after it
is built; that the road can not possibly be
controlled in the interest of Cincinnati;
that the whole theory is founded on false
idea of government, and that for many
other reasons it ought not to be put into
practice

An Interesting School.

In the eighth civil district of Sewer
county, on Dumping creek, at Henry's
Chapel, formerly known as Underwood's 9
School House, quite all interesting school
is in progress, taught by 7. n. and w. a.
Mcmillan. Ninety-six students have been
enrolled up to the present time, and the
prospect is quite tlattering. We are glad
to state that the people of Sewer county
are alive to their interests i'll the line of
education, especially i'll this district. We
hope they will continue SO, and i'll time
they will look upon these efforts as the
most prudent of their lives. Let the flame
spread from hill to hill; from island to
island; from continent to continent, till
they may reach the place where religion
may hymn the praises of that wisdom of
which science erects the hundred aisled
temples.

Little to DO.

4 self-constituted committee, apparently
with little to do, have undertaken to protect the
good name and fame of our good people, by Il
resort to species of mob law that has been
played out in this section for some years These
men might find some more profitable business
for themselves, certainly for the community,
than instigating violence of any kind. Such a
course can never be tolerated by peaceablc, SEN
sible men for moment, and this fact must for
all time be understood. Their time could be
better employed in labor for themselves and
families. No matter what provocationS are
alleged (and in this case they are bluntly de-
nied) the course pursued was foolish and
wrong.
