BUILD RAILROADS.

Public interest in the proposed rail-
road and bridge seems to be largely on
the increase and there is at present a
probability that pretty full vote will
be polled next Saturday. The desira-
bility of the road coming directly into
the city and the advantages to be reap
ed by all classes of our citizens from
the completion Of these great works Of
public improvement, are too obvious to
require further discussion. The rail-
road and the bridge are needed, and; if
the proposed subscription is voted next
Saturday, piH be built. There is no
room for reasonable doubt upon the
subject. 1t rests with the people to say
whether or not they will now secure
the advantages for the lack of which
they have been suffering and complain
ing during the past twenty years. 1t is
a fact that must be acknowledged by
our citizens, no matter how
much local pride they may have, that
Wheeling has been tagging behind
nearly all Of her contemporaries in inn
provement and prosperity. Our growth
in population has not been as rapid as
it should have been with the manufac-
turing facilities we enjoy, and the ap-
probation in the value OF property and
the consequent increase of wealth has
not kept pace with that in the majority
of other American cities.
One reason for this, and probably the
chief one, is found in the fact that for
twenty years past not a single mile of
railroad has been built that could benz
eft Wheeling. 1t is railroads that
build towns nowadays. The world has
got beyond the stage coach and the
steamboat age, and if Wheeling is ever
to be a great city, or even to retain her
present commercial rank, she must
shake off her lethargy and keep pace
with the times. Let US have all the
railroads we can get and place our
selves in better communication with the
world.

A Wholesome Stimulant, that

Physicians throughout the world agree as
to the necessity for diffusive stimulants In
medical practice, but complain, and with
good reason, of the impossibility OF obtain
ing them pure. The difficulty here pre-
scented would be serious one indeed, If the
class of agents was limited to the adulter-
ated liquors and wines Of trade. 1t van

The Judicial Convention of the Sec
ond Circuit, embracing the counties OF
Wetzel, Marion, Monongalia, Taylor,
Doddridge and Harrison, is to be held
at Grafton tomorrow, May 2Sth. The
Taylor county delegates have been in
structed to endeavor to procure an
adjournment of the Convention until
after the 30th, but if a majority OF the
counties OF the Circuit are represented
tomorrow it is probable that the nomi-
nation will be made, rather than incur
the inconvenience and expense Of a
second meeting. Several candidates for
the Judgeship have been proposed and
it is hoped that a worthy selection may
be made.

Az NIoHr I'M THE SENATE.

One of the severest parliamentary
struggles that has been had 10 the pres
ent Congress occurred during the night
session of the Senate that commenced
on Tuesday evening, May 81. The
Senate went into session at forty min
utes past FIVE o'clock on the evening in
question and did not adjourn until
twenty minutes past ten on Wednesday
morning. The greater portion OF the
night was spent in discussion OF the
bill for the extension of the Ku-Rlux
act, the object being to allow the Presi'
dent authority during the pending po-
l;tical campaign to suspend the privif'
eye of AabeaS corpus and set aside the
civil government of any State at will.
The bill was finally passed at five
o'clock in the morning, and it was then
moved to take up and pass the civil
rights bill. Many of the Senators had
gone home, and the Democrats, believ-
ing that with a full Senate they would
be able to defeat the bill, began to "fili.
buster" to prevent its passage at that
time. Senator DAVIS, Of this State
was entrusted with the management Of
the case, and by skilful employment OF
dilatory motions the session was pro-
longed until the Radicals were forced to
promise that they would Immediately
pass without amendment the amnesty
bill which bad already been passed by
the House, if q vote on the civil rights
bill were permitted. With this under
standing the civil rights bill was passed
but not until it had been so shorn OF
its most Objectionable features that
SUMNER declared it to be utterly worth
less. The amnesty bill was then taken
up and passed, SUMNER voting against
it, out;of spite because his petimeasure
had been amended into nothingness.
Senator DAVIS management of the
affair was quite successful and reflected
much credit upon the shrewdness Of
his tactics and his parliamentary skill.

An Accomplished Editor.
Editors Register: -7'''.--l'11z 1'-' rs
1t may not be known beyond the pre-
cincts of Wheeling that we have among
us an editor who is perfect genius. He
knows more about law than the far
famed practitioners of Philadelphia;
more about engineering than the cele.
brated Stephenson, or Brunei; more
about finance than Rothchilds, or
Boutwell,, and more about how railway
contracts ought to be drawn than Hor-
ace Greeley knows about farming"
Its a pity that such light should be
hidden under q bushel, in this far-off
valley of the Ohio. But alas it is too
often the fate Of genius to be born and
pass out Of existence in obscurity.
"Full many gem OF purest ray serene,
The dark unfathomed caves Of ocean
bear;
Full many flower is born to blush unseen
And waste. its sweetness on the desert
air."
But there is hope for this sweet rose
Of Wheeling, that when Greeley is
elected President his acute sense OF
smell will lead him thitherward for a
member OF his Cabinet. What pleas.
ant setting would such gem make to
the historical Treasure Ring" we hear
so much about? So go it strong"

good time coming for you. GRANT. y

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

We direct attention to the letter

by Mr.. H. B. WILSON, the contractor

pursued by the IntelEgencer in misrepre.

conversation with the editor. For some

legislation is had, no help can be ex-

prevent it, the other shall not be built.
Upon the other hand, the friends Of the

hostility toward the Tuscarawas Valley

dog-in-the.mauger policy which the
advocates of the latter have seen fit to

if the Wheeling and Tuscarswas Valley
road will comply with the provisions o.
the act Of the Legislature and agree to
come to this side of the river, the City
Council will very cheerfully submit to
the people the question OF subscribing

than this: we believe that, unless the
