GALLIPOLIS, MACARTHUR & co
LUMBUS RAILROAD.

Last week we published a letter
from President Langley relating to
the construction of the Gallipolis,
Macarthur q Columbus Railroad,
in which he spoke of the decision
of the Supreme Court of Ohio, on
the unconstitutionality of the Boes-
vi Railroad Law. This decision
has somewhat surprised the people
most interested in not only this but
many other railroad enterprises.
There is now no way for the people
to do but take the matter in their
own hands and pushit through. 1t
will not do to manifest a want oil
energy or determination at this
time. The question now arises,
where can the necessary capital,
required to complete the enterprise,
be procured? 1t is hardly necessa-
~ for us to say to the people OF
Vinton county and in Macarthur in
particular, that there is no county
or town in the State so much in
want of railroad facilities-a north
and south route in PARTICULARS
the people of Macarthur and Vinton
county. There is not the amount
of business and wealth in the place
there should be; and, until we have
more railroad conveniences, the
business and value of the place
will be only Of a meagre and limit
ed quality. With our present de-
ticiency in railroad convenience,
wealth and business is driven away;
and hence we drag along in the old
stage-coach style. We must not
6atter ourselves too much on the
very few Improvements we have
made during the past twenty-three
years. Other places, with less adj
vantages of population and wealth,
have long since grown far away
from us because of their railroad
accommodations. We should moi
let this opportunity pass without
making q united effort to raise, in
some manner, the means necessary
to secure the completion of the
road to this place at least. Who
will make a move the natterp
Since writing the above a COM
munication has been received from
"a Citizen, which will be found
elsewhere in this paper, to which
we call the especial attention of
everybody.

Prospect in Ohio.

The people of Ohio are tired
of Radical rule and greatly dis
pleased with the Grand Salary
Steal Law enacted by the late
Radical Congress.
With anything like judicious
management and the selection
Of GEN. THOMAS EWING for Gov
ernor, and of other proper can
didates at the Convention to be
held next August, there can
scarcely be room for a doubt
that the Democratic and Liber-
al Republican Ticket will be
elected by a handsome MAORI
ty; that the revolution in the
State will surpass that which
eliminated at the recent cleo
ton Of Connecticut.

A TERRIFIC tornado or whirl-
wind, accompanied with hail
and rain, passed over the coun-
try, about six miles north Of
Washington, Iowa, ON Thurs
day afternoon last. The lorna
do was about one-half mile in
width, and tore into fragments
everything that came in its
course. Houses, barns, fences,
trees, cattle, and human beings
were caught up and whirled
through the air like toys, and
then dashed to the ground with
such violence as to produce in
slant death to animate beings
Houses and barns were torn To
fragments and scattered for
miles around. The fields are
dotted with large timbers driv-
en- into the ground at an angle
Of ninety degrees, and cattle
were actually driven head-fore-
most into the ground. Eight
persons ara thus far reported
killed,

LIGHT Is DAwN1NG.


Though the prevalence Of pub.
lie corruption is sometimes dis
heartning, yet the signs of bet
ter times coming are plain
enough to cheer the hearts Of
all good men. We will note
some
| 1t is the practice of some
lawyers observing themselves
to be called criminals) to foist
into jurys one or two supple
tools, so as to compel a disa-
g%reement. Recently, in Phila-
delphia, in the trial of a keeper
of a gambling saloon, two jurors
tried to prevent a verdict. The
remaining ten kept the jury to-
gether eleven days until they
compelled their dishonest asso-
ciates to a conviction. Some
day we may have a law which
will go sharply after the law
yers who follow the practice Of
packing the jury-box.
2 The farmers of Illinois
have taken in hand the tyran-
ny of railroad corporations
In a large delegate convention,
they have called on the Legis-
lature to abolish the discrimin-
ation made against local
freights; to enquire whether
some Of the railroad corpora
tons have not forfeited their
charters, and to provide for the
execution Of the laws affecting
the companies. This Is, we
think, only the beginning of a
popular uprising against the
domineeupg spirit of all corpo-
rations. 1t is the beginning,
too, ofthe assertion Of Tie lust
powers of the State. The State
is the creator of corporations,
and their master. 1t grants
each franchise, and can revoke
it again. Moreover, the State
confers the franchise as a pup
lie benefit; but if, in the hands
of a corporation, it becomes a
public injury, the State can en-
ter and take possession. Still
further, every corporation has
duties to the community, and
the State is bound to see that
these are properly performed
The farmers, who are the ma
|jority in every State, are the
very men to bring to an issue
the question of insubordinatiOn
Of railway corporations to the
law.
3 We have reformed New
York city, and the obstruction
lists who are trying to make our
charter partisan, are, inch by
inch, giving way. Reform will
not be defeated. Public Opin-
ion is too strong even for dis
honest legislation.
4 The Congressman who
flched the Treasury of "back
pay" already shave their re-
ward" They are followed to
their homes by a storm ofipdig-
nation, which must be the re-
verse of comfortable for them.
The list Of members who voted
for this piece Of dishonesty
has been spread before the
world. They may affect to de-
spise puplic opinion; but public
opinion can express itself in
votes, as they will find.
Altogether, these CLEANS Of
light are enough to inspire hope.

The Boesel Railroad Law Unconsti-
t~utional.

tuJlOHal.
The Supreme Court of Ohio,
ON Tuesday, May 13, 1878, de-
clared the law known as the
; Besel Railroad law, unconstitu-
tional in its provisions-Chief-
Justice WHITE delivering the
opinion of the Court, the entire
bench concurring, in the case of
JAMES TAYLOR vs., Commission
ers of Ross County, Ohio. The
decision being unanimous of
course puts this matter at rest.
Elk township will be disap-
pointed by this adverse decis-
ion, and her $4,000 bonds,
now deposited with the Treas
urer of State will be cancelled.
The Constitutional Conven-
ton, now in session, will be
looked to for some provision in
the matter of the people taxing
themselves for public improve
ment.
The decision of the Supreme
Court In the above case Is as
follows
l. Taxation can only be au-
thorized for public purposes.
Where, therefore, q statute au-
thorizes q county, township or
municipality, to levy taxes not
above a given per cent. on the
taxable property of the locality
for the purpose of building so
much of q railroad as can be
built for that amount, and the
part of a railroad so built can
be Of no public utility unless
used to accomplish an uneonsti-
tutional purpose, such tax is IL
legal and cannot be imposed.
SEC. 6. Art. s of the Consti-
tuition declares, that the Gen.
eral Assembly shall never au-
thorize any county, city, town
or township, by vote of its citi-
zens or otherwise, to become a
stakeholder in any joint stock
company, corporation or associ-
alton whatever, or to raise mon
ey for, or loan it's credit to, or
in aid of, any such company,
corporation or association
What the General Assembly is
thus prohibited from doing d.
rectly, it has no right to do in
directly:
3. Where public credit or
money is furnished by any of
the subdivisions of the State
named, to be used ip part con-
struction of a work, which un-
/ ger tie statute authorizing its
construction, must be completed;
if completed at all, by other
parties out of their own means,
who are to own or have the
beneficial control and manage
ment of the work when com
pleted, the public money OF
credit thus used, can only be
regarded as furnished for, or in
aid of, such parties.
4. The act of April %, 1872,
to authorize counties, townships
and the municipalities therein
named to build railroads, &C.,
go O. L. S4) authorizes the
raising of money by taxation,
which is equally applicable to
the unlawful purpose of aiding
railroad companies, and others
engaged in building and opera
ting railroads, as it is to any
lawful purpose, and gives to the
officers intrusted with the con-
troll and application Of the mon
ey thus raised, no means or
power of discrimination as to
the lawfulness or uniawfulness
of the work or purpose to which
it is to be applied, and is thus
in eOntravention of Sec. 6, Art.
Is of the Constitution, and,
therefore, void.
