The Cumberland Road.

This road was constructed by the gen.
eral government under the laws of the
United States. The States through
which it passes have no authority over
this road, beyond the powers given
to them by the acts Of cession, which
gave them to the States respectively.
That portion OF the road which lies in
the State OF West Virginia was coded
to the State of Virginia by the act of
Congress, passed February 1th, 1882,
aud may be found in volume 4. United
States statutes at large, page 655-7
The provisions, in that act to which |
call attention are az follows:
Amy person passing to or from pub
lie worship, or to or from a visit to a
friend, or other place within the county
in which he resides. or to or from
any musters, or TO or from his COM
mon business on his farm or woodland,
or to or from funeral, or to or from
mill or school, or to or from his com
mon place Of trading or marketing
within the county in which he resides.
including the wagons, carriages, horses
and oxen drawing the same. to be ap-
piled solely and exclusively to the pre-
servation, repair and Improvement OF
said road and expenses incident thereto
and to no other purpose whatever.
These parties and persons so using
the road are exempt from toll
under that act / inquire of
the superintendent or the gate
keeper, for they ought to know by
what authority many of the persons
designated in that act as exempt from
toll are made to pay tolls? By what
right or authority have the tolls on
these persons been collected and all
the tolls kept 30 high that last spring
there was q surplus Of four or five
Thousand dollars to the credit of the
road when the act Of Congress expressly
stipulates that no more tolls shall be
collected than what are sufficient to
keep the road 10 order?

OPINIONS OF TIE TRIBUNE AND TIMES.
lFROM REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNE
CHICAGO, March 31.-Ihc Tribune, comment
ing on the character Of the sgners OF the NewYork
declaration, says Horace Greeley Is somewhat too
well known to need introduction. He represents larger
following in the State Of NewYOrk than any
other Republican politician. His name stands,
In fact, for the Fenton wing Of the Republican
party which, until IL compelled to Fight with the
whole personal power Of the President, and with the
whole political punder OF the Custom-house, was the
Republican party Of New-YOrk." The other
sicners are similarly introduced. Further on 1t
remarks: "The Inference that, because the Liberal
Republicans seek To control the primary conven
TONS and pack the delegations to the Philadelphia Con-
yenton therefore they confess themselves In the minor
ity in Republican party is not fair or tenab!e one
The Liberal Republicans have no money to expend,
no offices 10 bestow, no threats TO weld, and no
favors Of any kind promise. They are in the Same
condition that the Republican party itself was In The
