Mr.. Ross J. Alexander and Mr.. VIII.
son.

Editors OF the Register
Permit me to make one or two correc-
tions OF Mr.. Alexanders report Of his
interview with me on the question Of
reconciling conflicting railway interests
here. Mr.. Alexander's statement OF
what said is in the main correct and
contrasts most favorably with the gar.
bled and perverted report given in the
IntcWgencer of my interview with the
editor of that journal.
Mr.. Alexander in referring to what |
said about Mr.. Robinson's letter makes
me use the word route instead Of line.
Such mistake in terms isvery natural
to those unacquainted with railway
engineering. What | said was that /
had received a letter from Mr.. Robin
son, the engineer, saying that on a final
location he could materially improve
the line as run by him in many places.
This had reference especially TO the
tunnels.
1t is hardly worth while to discuss
these points now, but some people here
seem to delight in twisting everything
in their power to suit their own preju-
dices, or to defeat the well conceived
plans OF their opponents.
Mr.. Alexander also makes slight
bluuder in stating the remarks ! made
about Mr.. Wood, when he saws | told
him that he required to be let down
easily. l am positive | never used
such an expression. l told him that
Mr.. Wood was a man OF the most
sterling character and would yield moth.
ing, except on conviction Of its being
the right thing. Mr.. Alexander s
views about change OF route were
forcibly put. He said if the Wheeling
and Lake Erie Company would accept
the Tuscarawas Valley route up
Wheeling Creek u few miles and
then fall on to the line
run by Robinson, lit would take the
bottom out Of that project, and there
would be TO more heard OF it." But
neither Mr.. Robinson nor l have any.
thing to do in respect to the choice OF
route. 1t is a matter wholly for the
company whose line i have contracted
to build to designate its course, and !
repeat what | have before said, that |
know the directors will cause an ex'
haustive examination OF routes before
making the final location of their rail-
way. Yours, &c, II. B. WILSON.
P. 81 have omitted to say that Mr..
Alexander informed me that the editor
OF the h,tel6gsncer owns small farm
up the valley of Wheeling Creek, and
would highly approve of the Wheeling
and Lake Erie railroad if the line were
changed to that valley. H. B. W.

The editor OF the MteH;gencer is still
suffering from his self imposed ignor-
snce respecting the terms OF the con-
tract for the building Of the Wheeling
and Lake Erie railroad. Had he read
the document when solicited to do so or
had he even examined the extracts from
it that are embodied in Mr.. BELL S letter
Of Yesterday morning, he might have
seen how groundless are his fears OF the
contractors control over the road
during the progress OF the work, and
might have saved himself much un-
necessary mental anguish on that &C
count. The contractors will receive
their certificates of stock only as they
are earned; the trustees deliver to the
contractors only 80 much and such
proportion of said stock as they shall
from time to time require aud he en-
titled to receive during the time Of con-
struction. upon the said monthly
estimates Of the chief engineer OF said
company" Upon the other hand the
stock held by the local subscribers may
by the provisions Of the Ohio law, be
voted upon from the time Of the organ
ization of the company. The contractors
have to build twenty miles OF road be-
fore they receive q single share OF
stock, and at no time during the
progress Of the work will they have in
their possession or be able to vote upon
anything near onehalf of the stock Of
the corporation. We respectfully sub
init that this fact. which the editor
might have learned from a perusal Of
the contract, completely knocks the
stuffing out" Of the labored argument in
yesterday mornings Mtellgsncsr. Will
that paper have the caudor to make the
explanation and let its readers know the
truth?
The objections which the Intelligence
urges were foreseen by the officers o.
the company and amply provided
against

Iris a curious fact, one we'll worth
knowing, that the death rate in Europe
is nearly double what it is in the United
States. averaging yearly one out Of
every forty.three inhabitants, while
here it is only one out Of every eighty
one. OF the leading countries OF Eu-
rope, France leads in it's mortality, the
average being one death to thirty-two
people; and England appears to be the
healthiest, the deaths being one to every
forty-six. In the United States there is
a wide range of difference. In Arkan.
sas, for instance, the annual deaths are
one to every forty.nine inhabitants,
while in Oregon the rate is only one to
every two huadred and nine. 1t sp-
pears that the Northwestern States
average the healthiest, and the Gulf
States the sicklisst.

Such is the popularity of our remedy that
