THREE of our weekly State exchanges, one
in this city, received Saturday, made no men
ton of Tuesdays elections-a subject that
interested larger part of the reading public
than any matter that has t1anspired for weeks.
Another refers to the agony being over until
November but omitted the somewhat i'm
portant statement as to the proprietorship of
the agony.

AN exchange suggests that the claim of the
Republicans to all the States is ungeperous
since the Greeley party have the right to de-
mand Christian burial. We admit the
claim and set apart Georgia for that immense
graveyard.

The chances are that the three States class

O,Conor tickets are put into the field in sew
eral of the States accorded to Mr.. Greeley he
will lose part of those. That is about the
way Mr.. Greeley will be elected.

Now, We ask the Supervisors to lose
no time in getting the bonds printed
/ let them be Immediately thrown into
the market, 50 that Mr.. Apologize can
get the money to 20 on with the work:
He informed the meeting that be should
require about thirty thousand dollars
per month. in order to push the work
through. The first iustalment, he said
would be required on or about the first
day of A pril next. We trust, therefore
that the bonds will be taken up as soon
as offered. The rate OF interest fixed
upon them makes it q good investment
aud it is to be hoped our citizens will
not be backward in purchasing. Bear
in mind they are free from local taxa
ton.
Since writing the above we learn thai
Mr.. John Beall, OF our town, proposes
taking $4,000 worth Of bonds.
1.-THE taxable property IN Brooke
county amounts to 2,SO5,63S.s2, o.
which $4,000 is personal property. A
tax Of little more than one-fourth Of
one per cent, or about p cents on the
hundred dollars, will pay the annual
interest on the bonds.-ED. REGISTER. ]

From the Panhandle Sews.l
Brooke County Railroad Bond Meet.
ing.


A meeting OF the citizens Of Brooke
county was held at the Court House on
Tuesday last, to consult as to the bes'
means OF disposing OF the railroad
bonds, amounting to one hundred
thousand dollars, subscribed by the
county to build our part Of the Pitts
burgh, Wheeling and Kentucky rail-
road
The meeting was unusually large,
and great interest manifested in regard
to the rate Of interest tho-e bonds should
bear. Some was in favor OF seven,
Others seven and half, and few were
DESTROYS OF obtaining eight per cent.
Much was said pro and con, when
finally seven and half per cent was
agreed upon.
A diversity of opinion existed, also
as to what market these bonds should
be put into. five understood correctly y,
il was the desire of the Board of Super.
visors that Brooke county should have
the preference OF purchasing. 1t was
argued by a gentleman connected with
one OF our banks that twas exceedingly
doubtful whether our county was able
TO purchase the entire amount. He
offered, as proof, that the Assessor
books showed only $4,000 Of taxable
property We know nothing OF the
correctness OF this statement, but would
simply say that if lit be true there must
be large amount Of money owned bv
individuals in Brooke county that is not
represented upon the Assessors books.
Be this as it may, we favor the idea OF
our county taking all the bonds. II
this should prove impracticsble, our,
neighboring county of Ohio will doubt
less come to the rescue.
As very justly remarked by the gen
tleman alluded to above, these bonds
being exempt from local taxation, offers
strong inducement to individuals to
purchase them, whilst at comparative
low rate Of interest, the banks are pre-
vented from making an investment for
the reason that banks would have to
pay tax OF from one TO one and halt
per cent. This, OF course, renders it al,
most impossible for our banks to pur-
chase any OF the bonds
We noticed one peculiar feature at
this meeting. By far. The largest mum.
Der present who took an active part in
favoring as high rate Of interest as
possible. were those who originally OPP
posed the building of the road. These
were the solid men of Brooke county,
who are very anxious to buy the bonds.
We find no particular fault with these
gentlemen, but simply mention the fact
as it struck US on the occasion. We
heAtily rejoice to know that they ex
hitit 80 much interest in the success Of
II enterprise. 1t speaks we'll for oul
y hnsy.
