How to Keen Valley r. R. MOVING.

Since our last issue the air has been full of
rumors and some again despair Of the compile
ton OF this road to Salem, when, 10 fact, the
status OF the enterprise is exactly where the
able Bait board of Finance and it's friends, put
it last Feb Then, the Finance Committee de-
cided, justly We think, that they were not au-
thorized to pay Baltimore's quota until the
means we re raised to build the road to Salem,
and the entire line let to contract.
Last week they reiterate that decision, Ia
refusing to agree to proposition, from the Co.
for Rockbridge and Baltimore to put 80 per
cent OF their subscr ptions, an escro, on the let
ting Of a portion of the work. as they eau not
do so under the law, as they coustrue it, and it
would relieve the Co. of its obligation to put
the whole line under contract. This is the true
position and they ere sustained in it by the To-
struclions of the City Council. to pay only 90
the conditions named, but ordered to do 80 when
they are complied with, and We believe the
position taken is the only hope of the compile
ton of the line all tie way through.
This is the present status of affairs and the
question naturally comes up what is to be
done now?" There is but one answer. Let
Roanoke, Rockbridge and Botetourt make their
subscriptions, call meeting of the Board Of
Directors, and present them, through their
County Directors, demanding that the entire
line to Salem be at once let to contract and
Baltimore stands ready to pay her quota. No
harm can come Of this action and much good
be done, and it will at once settle the question
one way or the other and, we feel assured, IA
vorably.
j. W. Garrett has personally pledged Col.
Allan, Director from Rockbridge, that he will
make no opposition to the letting of the entire
line, after April lst, and Jno. w. Garrett new
er went. back on bis word. The Bait. Board OF
Finance is instructed to pay her quota, when
these subscriptions are made and the road let
Let these counties, then, with the patriotism
that has therefore, characterized their action,
act promptly with full confidence 10 Presi-
dent CARROTS word and in the justice and fair
ness Of the Bait. Board, and the City of Bati-
more.

ras Kentucky Troubles.

C1scYssArI, September l6.--A promi.
nent oitlzen of Cincinnati. who has been
spending several days IN tho ku Klux
region of Kentucky returned to the city
last evening. He reports the country
quiet and the people ready to talk freely
about their troubles. They claim that
accounts of affairs given recently in let
ters in the Louisville Courier Journal are
much exaggerated, and that troubles will
be stopped by due course of law. One
prominent lawyer stated that he had no
doub. there was large organization Of
Ku Klux, but that many of them were
respectable citizens who had no sympathy
with marauders that within ten days full
disclosures would be made of the secrets
of the order and those who have repentea
of their connection with it would assist in
suppressing it. The idea of martial law
is not relished by any one A we'll known
lawyer Of Owen county asserted that there
was no established order and thai the Of
tenders were merely common thieves and
murderers. The Owen county authorities
say that the murder Of the negro White
stone is the only one which has taken
place in their county. Two of those charg-
ed with this-murder Were acquitted at a
preliminary examination and three others
escaped from jail a week ago. but they
afterwards gave themselves up to the au-
thorities, declaring that they could prove
an akbi. Their examination is set down
for tomorrow and it is thought they will
be bound over. The Owen county peo-
pie assert that all concerned in this out
rage are ex-members of the Federal army
