WATER VS.. RAILROAD TRANSPORTATION

Speaking in reference To the proposed
grand double track project Ola railroad from
the west to the east, to be devoted exclusively
TO carrying freight, the Cincinnati Enquire,
thus eases its mind;
In our judgment there is Just one eitectual
way of chcapCning communication between
the East and the West. 1t can not be done
through the railroads The business is too
vast for that and if new lines are opened the
waytratfic that would spring up would keep
down the through treights to a paratycly
small figure. What is wanted is water com
municatiOn. What would we do if Il was not
for the Erie Canal, connecting the waters of
Lake Eric with the Hudson river and the At
lantic? There is more freight upon that canal
than upon all the trunk lines OF railroads
from Canada . Washington, vet it is shut up
four months ycar. The railroads double
their charges for freight when it is closed.
What blessing 10 the western agricu,turist
and eastern consumer would b" another such
a water communication. That would break
up the railroad monopoly 1t would bring
down the price Of freight to 4 reasonable
figure. Well, we can have such a canal, and
Il better one, by completing the James River
and kGnaWha Canal and improving, in con.
ncctiOn with ii, the Ohio River This would
not be frozen in Il year half 50 long as thcI
Erie, and would take much more freight. Its |
construction seems TO be IN absolute upccs- |
sity. How can any formers grange be on !
posed to it? In all bulky and heavy articles |
it is perfect folly To talk about railroads com.
peting with canals. Every day during the
summer one hundred and fifty vessels arrive |
in New ork from the Erie Canal each Onci
carrying As much produce as IN ordinary |
freight train Of cars. Thirty millions of dollars

When we say that the republican party is

able neigbor Of The Ottawa Free Trader flies

owns the Republican party of Pennsylvania

sofa and different other persons and corpora.
tiOns own and run the party in most OF the
other states, and, even in the Territories.
But he ncglects TO state who owns the Rcpub-
hcan party of Illinois, matter in which
his readers may be supposed 10 have Il lively
intcrcst-NtaUa RepHjlicaa.
As near as we can make it cut, the party il
Illinois at present is mainly owned by John
A. Logan, back salary grabbcr, and Rich
ard j. Oglesby, toward salary grabber
They are both of that lovely class of whom
Washburn speaks as needing big salaries to
enable them to maintain their dignity at
Washington by "bucking the tiger" and SUI.
and "luXuries" Ifthcre is a republican pa
per or leader in Illinois that is not "loyal" to-
Logan and OglcSby We have failed to discoy. /
er either These gentlemen may not, like 4.
Tom Scott, exactly own any big railroads, .
but they have stolen from the government
several hundred thousand dollars to improve
some swamp lands they happened to get hold
Of at Calumet, and when that Job" is com
octed doubtless they will not lack railroad
influence and assistance to make the steal
variable.
As 10 the republican party, thus owned, be
ng the only real antl-monopoly party" we
'eg the organs of that party to inform Us why, ,
feuch is the case, the whole country, under +
Is rule, is in the grasp of the mOnopolies? ,
All the cotton mills, as Mr. Force informed us ,

a STRIKING CONTRAsT-Hr James Par
ton, in the last number of the Atlanttc .Hontt
B, summarizes the leading characteristics OF
President Jetferson's administration:
l. He was faithful to the party that elected
him.
. He would not appoint men to office
merely because they were CONSPICUOUS parti-
Fans.
3. He took great care to get the right man
for the right place.
4. He would not give an appointment to a
relative
.. But he would not exempt friends from
the operation OF good rule.
6, He turned no man out at Office because
he was opposed to him in politics.
!. He reduced the patronage of the govern
mcnt to the minimum.
s. He endcvorcd to simplify the apparatus
and the operations of government, 50 that the
rural members of congress and his constitu-
ents might understand them.
d. . lie abolished court etiquette and every
usage that rcscmblcd It.
10. lie declined to receive presents while
in office.
II. He used the prestige and the opportu-
mites of his office for the public advantage.
The earnest desire entertained by the peo-
pie for return TO Jciicrsonian democracy
will be fully appreciated, upon the most cur
sorry reading of these paragraphs.

past few years arc teard. Here Is the case I:
The County Of Venaneo va. Wilson Davis,
d. H. Cassidy, and Bspy Coanelly.
NThs case involves an exposure Of the in
side workings Of the Commissioner Office
aod excites considerable attention. 1t was
opened on Wednesday forenoon and will
not likely be closed until late to-day. With
the defendants, Davis, Cassidy and Con,
nelly, it is alleged that James Duncan, de-
ceased, was also connected. The charge is.
Conspiracy to deiraud Venango county,
upos which sevo al allegations are made, a.
follows: Receiving from Bell S Breckin/
ridge 81, 900 in consideration Of awarding
them the contract for a bridge tho Franklin
upper French creek bridge; 80 altering the
original contract for building the bridge taat
Boil & Breckinridge received $500 more
than their contrsct called for; twice. altering
the tax returns from Cornplsnter township
40 that they, defendants pocketed $3.50,
selling rs shares of Ementon bridge stock
and not accounting to the county Tor the
money. All Of these matters occurred dur
ing 1866, 1867, and 1862 So tar the evil
dence has been very damaging to the de-
PENDANTS, it being proven from their own
mouths that they accepted 'gift" Of
$1,000 from Bell &c Breck kinridge, which
was eqsally divided between them, the
three com missi0nets and their clerk, Espy
ConneIy. Up to Wednesday night the 9th
er allegations had not been 80 clearly prov.
en-, but enough was ELECTED to show that
these officials might be justly suspected o.
corruption even II the allegation was BOT
proven beyond dispute. We refrain from
dwelling at length, or commenting upon the
ease until the jury has rendered Its verdict.
The suit was brought by McCalm0nt g. Ost
born and II. A. Miller, who are assisted 10
conducting it by McCalmont & Miller
The attorneys for the defence are Col. J. s.
Myers, G. E. Taylor and J. H. Osmer.
