Friday Morning. ....~....M May 80, 1873.

OuR RAILROAD. Well---ihe Metropolitan b.
Il. r. is at last completed and the regular pas
senger trains have commenced running. The
auspicious event occurred on Sunday last when
the regular through train passed on lis way
TO the West, making quite an epoch with our
citizens, many Of whom assembled at the de-
pot TO witness the iron-horse as he went dash
ing 10y with his load of passengers. The cars
are beautiful specimen OF workmanship aud
the whole outfit accords well with the road,
which is itself completed in the best style, and
passes through beautiful country, the scene
~ picturesque aud grand, We have hereto-
fore given an account OF this road, its cost Of
construction, Sc. Al present, there runs over
this road daily FIST daylight train from Bal
timore to Cincinnati via Washington to Par
kersburg, Marietta and Cincionati-the Win
chester train leaves Baltimore daily, passing
over this road the fast line for Cincinnati,
Columbus, St. Louis, and Chicago, and the
st. Louis Express both leave Baltimore daily
running via Washington aud the Metropolitan
The importance of this road can at once be
seen, while the impetus TO travel in this direc-
ton must be immense, as by this road the route
West is shortened forty-ninc miles. The road
was constructed slowly, but, doubtless, those
who had the management had their reasons
for the delay in its construction, and the great
desire Of our people TO see it completed made
them impatient. Well, the great work has
Been accomplished, and our people may bid
K,reweil to slow coaches and muddy roads
they eau now go to Washington in forty-fye
minutes at a cost Of sixty cents. This is much
gained in time and money, to the travelling
public, while to the farmers along the line, lis
advantages are ncalculable.
Five and six trains have been running daily
daring the week. aud we understand, that on
and after Monday next, twelve trains IL day
will pass over the road.
For the information of the public we can
state that the following trains stop daily al

THE OLD GRAVEYARD About mile from

cid graveyard, located there by the ancestors
Of II generation that has passed away. 1t lies

The President has issued his proclamation
commanding the turbulent aud dsordery
persons" in the State Of Louisiana "to dis
persc and retire peaceaby to their homes
within twenty days from the date of the pro-
clomation. OF course this means those who
are opposed to tho administration of Kellogg,
the nsurping Governor of that unfortunate
STATE, and who are upheld by partisan Pfcsi-
dent, against the wishes ola majority of the
people Of Louisiana. 70 righl-thinkug peo-
pie the term turbulent and disorderly" APP
plies with more truth TO the Kellogg faction
than to those who are opposed to it. Bot when
might takes the place of right no alternative is
left but submission until such time as justice
is administered With even hand. The friends
Of McEnery-tbe rightrully elected Governor
have no desire TO plunge their State into "a
civil war-they have sludiously avoided re-
sisting the execution Of the laws of the United
States, and all that they have asked or de-
manded is that justice be done, and they conf
IDENTIFY rely upon the action of the next Con-
gress to redress their wrongs.
Speaking of this proclamation the New York
Times, q Radical organ, says:
eve assure the President that the country
is not blind to the fact that his own appoin-
tees in Louisiana are, TO lamentable extent,
responsible for the bitterness and confusion
which prevail there, and that had he, in 1871,
us we then urged him to do, removed Messrs.
Casey and Packard, and compelled their asso-
ciaies to keep out of State politics altogether,
his present action would either never have
been required, or, if required, it would have
come with much better grace" That s
rather significant.

BRIDGE PETITION.


To tie Honorable Board Of Con,mission-
crs for Montgomery County,:
WE, the undersigned, citizens aud tax
w payers of Montgomery county, re-
specially represent to your Honorable Body,
thatthe public convenience requires - bridge
across what is known as the Long Branch -
on the road leading from the old Bladena-
burg road to the Brookeville Turnpike at
Blair's Gate. The county has built a bridge
across Sligo branch, on the same road which
is nearly valueless without bridge across
the stream above named. There is a steep
hill on the west side of ''Long Branch, .
which can be made easy of ascent only by the
erection Of bridge about ten feet high and
about twelve feet wide A large and thicklv
settled neighborhood cannot use the read in
reaching market aud the proposed Silver
Spring Depot, on the Metropolitan Branch
Railroad for the want of bridge. We there
fore earnestly petition your Honorable Body
to have bridge built across said Branch as
early ia practicable.
