WHEELING AND LAKE ERIE.

Advantages or the Cadiz Route.
Editors Of the Register:
Believing that as apubllc Journalist
you are deeply interested in the welfare
Of your city, l ask . little space IN your
valuable paper. A question Of deep
interest both TO you and US is What
shall be the route of the Wheeling and
Lake Erie railroad?" We claim that
the route via Cadiz has peculiar advan'
tages over any other. 1t is more direct
and natural; Cadiz is on the divide on
one side of the town the waters flow
westward, and ON the other towards the
east, thus sffordiug valleys on both
sides through which road can easily
be constructed. From the mouth OF
Piney Fork to Csdiz there is is an open,
broad valley, with no points oveputtlng
or interlspping. An engineer who has
been over the route assures US that 1t Is
one of the best locations tor a road 10
his knowledge On this route there Is
bat one tuppel-at Cadiz-.while to the
west there is q clear route by beautiful
valleys. The lands to the east and
west abound in coal apd minerals and
possess a wealth of soil and population
unsurpassed by any valley in the State.
For this road Harrison county will give
the right of way and two hundred
thousand dollars. -.
The proposed route 10y Hopedale has
serious disadvantages. 1t IL more din
calf of construction; there are three
tunnels, when we have but on there Is
one op Piney, below Hopedale, another
at that little village, and still another
crossing the divide near Folks station.
Much of this valley through which 1t
runs is contracted; the bluffs overjnt
requiring an immense amount OF grad
ing. 1t passes on the eastern end
through no town Of any Importance.
Besides all this, the right OF way will
have 10 be bought over several miles OF
the road. The road runs about twelve
miles alonsslde of the Pittsburgh, Gin =
cinnati and st. Louis railway, aud con-
siderirg all these disadvantages, it is to
Us matter of surprise that so much
attention is given it. and that the claims
OF our route are not investigated. We
have better route, more minerals, more
population, richer country, and can and
will give more money. Our citizens,
with less than a score OF exceptions,
want the road and are anxious to have
it. As it is now, our goods are shipped
from Pittsburgh. If we had this road
we would ship from Wheeling. The
advantages therefore are mutual, and
we ask you to see to it that the interests
of Wheeling be properly cared for be
fore the money YOU have voted be APP
proprated to any route. II after fair
investigation our route is not as we rep
resent it, we are willing to see the road
bend about through the village oil
Hopedale and go on east one mile from
the small town OF Fairview. But Il
our route is as represented we ask in the
interest OF the people that the road be
located by it. RAILROAD.

When Young People should Marry


The religious aspects OF marrying are
presented editorially in the New York
Uyrch Jo,rno! Of last week. Its special
subiec, is continued discussion OF the
marriage of clergymen, but 1t steps
aside for a moment TO make the follow
ing remarks: The state Of society IN
which young men marry as rule is al
twenty-one, o. shortly after is the state
in which the home virtues and the per-
sonal virtues best flourish That state
which makes it impossible for a
man to marry "rrudently,' until be is
thirty-tiye or forty, is one which is not
admirable nor desirable, in any land or
among any people, as the world has
ample testimony. There are unsavory
accompaniment to this stale OF things
which we all understand well enough,
but about which we are too delicate to
say anything. All these accompani-
ments are, at this moment, rot,lng the
heart out OF the American people in
certain sections and certain states OF
lie in our country 80 that were it not Tor
the mass OF imprudent foreigners, who
have a habit OF marrying young and
rearing families OF children in the old
fashioned, healthy way, we might fear
the extinction OF the business 0: moth
erhood and fatherhood, and know the
prevalence of nameless horrors in the
relation OF the sexes.

lieve Camden has been beaten but one
vote in the county, althougAhyour pub
lished statement mskes Jacobs majority
100. With the exception of Camden,
the State ticket has majority of 100,
and in reference to our county officers,
we have elected the Democratic nomi-
nees for Sheriff, Clerk OF the County
Court, President of the County Court
Assessors and Judge Of the Circuit
Court. Mr.. Lesg. one of the Demo-
cratic nominees for the House OF De e-
gates, is also elected. E. Willis Wilson,
| think, is defeated for the Senate. and
Robert c. Gustin, Democratic nominee,
and John W. Grantham, independent
Democrat, are elected. The Constltu-
ton has been rejected in this county 10y
something upwards OF 100 majority.
The principal and almost exclusive OPP
position TO that instrument, so far as the
Democrats were concerned, was to the
County Court and Homestead provis-
ions. 1t was in vain that they were
Informed that they could, by their own
votes, become relieved of the County
Court system. Their hostility to it WAS
such as not even to tolerate it tempo
rarily. So explanations IN reference to
the homestead were thrown away upon
many, their prejudice against it arising
wholly from misapprehensiou, being
such that they would not listen with
any patience to those who were dis,
posed TO inform them. These objections
prevented more than a hundred Demo-
Gratis from going to the polls, who, upon
all other occasions, have been unwayer-
ing in their attendance.
Our fight was altogether against indie
pendent candidates, the Republicans
making no nominations, but backing the
independents by the full force OF their
vote There was probably never such
an amount of scratching exhibited on
the tickets in any previous election, aud
the Constitution suffered by that trading
OF votes which inevitably occurs in
contests of this kind. BERKELEY.

To The Public:
The Trustees of the Public Library OF
Kentucky, being satisfied from the large
sale Of tickets already made, and the daily
increasing demand for them, that there will
be no occasion for pos!ponIng the second

Public Library OF Kentucky, have instruct.
ed me, as their agent and manager OF the
Gift Concert, To say 10 the publ and ticket
holders that the drawing will positively
take place on September 2Sth, prox, and
will not be postponed. An active demand
for tickets comes from every State and Ter
ritory of the United States, and from the
Canadas, giving assurance TO the Trustees
that no circumstances can prevent draw
ing at the appointed time.
\ sufficient clerical force Is engaged TO
keep up with the orders for tickets, and in
order that this office may be relieved Of the
immense pressure incident 10 the business
FOR the week or two Immediately preceding
the drawing, agents especially, and those

1t is the wish OF the management to I'LL

The aggregate number Of claims pre-
sented to the Southern Claims Commits.
sion thus far is 10000, ranging from
sl2 to to $4,000 and averaging $500
each. The Commission have finally
reported Oh $50 cases, in which 81
100000 were claimed. About $50 OF
them were rejected, principally for abs
sence OF proofs OF Loyalty, and for the
remaining $50 cases Congress on the
recommendation of the Commission,
approx rated $350,000; the money has
since been paid, with the exception OF
$4,000, which was stopped through
the reeorts OF special agents, who were
employed after. the general report OF
the Commissioners had been made to
Congress, and who discovered reasons
for withholding this amount, in three
or tour cases from Virginia, The
Com missioners, three in number ab-
sent from Washington, have under ex-
animation 500 other cases also to be
decided. The Commission will, &C
cording TO the law creating it, expire on
the Sd OF March next, and Six years
will be consumed in transactIng the
business now on hand. Under the
bureau system. such as prevails in the
departments, fifty years would be re-
CURED for this purpose. The rapldlty
OF transactipg the business OF the Com
mission is unprecedented, there being
one chief clerk and only four assistants.
The expedition is principally due to the
fact that but few tormalities are ob.
served and volumnous books dispensed
with. The expenses to claimants are
small. There are no office fees except
ing for taking testimony, and the low
est charge is made for claims under
$1,000. Information has beeen received
here that agents in tie South are COL
lecling claims OF persons whose property
was taken for public uses or destroyed
to facilitate military operations, but
who cannot prove loyalty owing to
their giving aid and comfort TO the
Confederetes. These agents are acting
upon the suppcsition that Congress will
ultimately dispense with the loyalty
clause. The aggregate ofsuch claims Is
already large.
