The Baltimore and ohio Extension.

The Baltimore and Ohio Extension.
The annual report of President Gar
rett, of the Baltimore and Ohio road,
has the following in reference to the
project Of the Baltimore, Pittsburgh
and Chicago railroad:
The pressure of trade from the
northwest has constantly shown the
desirableness and necessity of a line OF
railroad, entirely under the control Of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, from
Chicago through the extensive and fer
tile intermediate region to Baltimore.
For the purpose OF etfecting this con-
nection with the least practicable delay,
it has been determined to construct the
road from a point about ninety miles
north of Newark, on the Lake Erie
Division, to Chicago, a distance OF
26O miles The line has been
located with low grades, and
is slngularly direct. 1t is expected
that the entire road will be placed un'
der construction within a brief period,
and thus through this extension in con,
nection with the Lake Erie and Central
Ohio division and the Baltimore and
Ohio road, an admirable, economical
and effective line from Chicago, but Sll
miles to Baltimore, and by the Metro
politsu branch but 7S4 miles to the City
of Washington, can be built and in use
within eighteen months. The point OF
divergence of the road from the Lake
Erie division has also been selected as
the proper location for the junction OF
the proposed line from Pittsburgh, 30
that the traffic of the main stem and OF
the Pittsburgh, Wheeling and BATH
more railroad the old Hempfeld and
between Wheeling and Pittsburgh and
Chicago and the Northwest, will ulti.
mately be concentrated on this route. :"
The great through lice, however, will
not be through Wheeling but via Ben
~ood and Elm Grove.

County Auditor.

The new Constitution of the State
makes the Sheriff Of the county COL
lector, not only Of the States taxes, but
the collector and treasurer OF the
county and township levies. His office
therefore receives all the moneys as
sessed and raised within the county for
all public purposes, whether the same
is for paving the miscellaneous ex-
penses Of the county, the support Of the
poor OF the county, the county road
levies, the township levies, for building
school houses, or for educational pur-
poses, all is placed in his hands and he
becomes in fact the treasurer OF the
county for disbursing the same.
Now it appears evident to us, that
the Legislature at its present session,
should by statute, provide for a County
Auditor, whose duty should be, to
charge the Sheriff in separate accounts
of State, county, and township, with
all levies made, and moneys which
come into his hands for all these pur
poses, and TO credit each one OF these
accounts, with whatever amounts have
been drawn from them by orders, or
otherwise, when properly allowed by
the authority having jurisdiction to
grant orders, &c. Also to require the
Sheriff to settle up his accounts in each
department quarterly.
Our objecl in this short article is to
draw the attention of the people to this
subject, that an effort may be made to
have our present Legislature make pro-
per provision, by State legislation, for
meeting and supplying this want, in the
present new system OF county finances.
This matter should be now done and
attended to promptly before the finances
OF the county become confused by any
irregularities which, otherwise, are
likely to occur, constitutionally.-
Parksrsbury Orthopolitan
Our impression is that the County
Court becomes the Auditor OF public
accounts, under the new Constitution,
whose duty it will be to do all that our
cotemporary points out as proper labor
for a County Auditor to perform. If
this be true, probably We will be able to
get along without the creation OF any
additional offices.

this time through q correspondent
Messrs. THOMAS SWEENEY, E. j. STOKE

A ADENrERPRISE OF IN
TEREST TO WHEELING.

For the last two days men in the ems
ploy Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, have been searching for q
route to build road from Elm Grove,
in this equity, 10 BeDwood. The road
is to be built, double track of steel
rails put all the way from Benwood to
Washington, and thence to Connells-
Vile, within eighteen months, and the
through trains OF that company be-
tween the East and West passing over
it. The company expect by this cut
off to save some two hours in the pas
sage time between any given point east
Of Wbeeling,to any point west Of US on
their road. The distance from Ben
wood to Elm Grove through Wheeling
il, we believe, about ten miles the dis
lance between these points by the new
route will probably be four miles.
About two>thirds of the first route lies
within the corporate limits Of Wheel
ing and Benwood, over which the trains
cannot be run at a greater rate than six
miles an hour. Add to the time lost by
this slow rate of speed, other stoppages
and detentions caused by running up
streets and across streets, and the OBJ
struction caused by the heavy grade on
John street, and it is claimed that be-
tween two and three hours will be con-
sumed in making the trip from the
Bellaire bridge to Elm Grove. The
four miles between the two points by
the cut-otf can be made ia fifteen to
twenty minutes
This move on the part OF the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad will be''rejoiced
over by the editors of the IntelHgencer
and its clique, who are opposed to any
more railroads coming to Wheeling.
But those who care for the interests of
the city generally, and for their own
interests partic ularly, will not feel much
elated.

IT has been suggested by some one
that it sometimes "makes difference
whose OK is gored.' And, indeed. illus.
trstions are not wanting to prove that
the remark has wisdom in it. We are
not sure but an illustration may be
found in the IateMgenccr of yesterday
morning. When the Republicans held
possession oithis city, county and State,
the public good required nothing so
much as party nominations and strict
adherence by its partisans to the action
OF its Conventions. To talk of break
ing up its party organization, or to fail
10 support the regularly Nominated cae.
didates of it's party for any and all
offices, was, in the opinion Of the COR
gan" rank disloyalty. 1t failed to see
then any misfortune in dragging poll
tics into a municipal" or any other
election.
But times changed, and with it came
a change in the strength Of parties and
in the views of the oracle" Now,
that once dictatorial organ which crack
ed its party lash with such, vigor if not
effect, deprecates dragging politics into
local elections 1t thinks no great harm
can come Of electing Republican to
some position. OF course not. And We
think no harm can come to the public
interests by the election of Democrats to
official positions. But if the Demo-
cratic aspirants show themselves less
shrewd than do their Republican oppo-
nents, and insist in pitting themselves in
the proportion of six of the former,
against one of the latter, for the various
positions, and thus cleo. Republicans by
a plurality vote, that's their misfortune
and we propose to shed no tears over
the result

TIE new move of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad to make Elm Grove our
nearest railroad station, will give new
impetus to the movement on foot to
build a horse car railroad from here to
Elk Grove. We believe the Legisla-
ture has already been petitioned to
grant the right of way along the side
of the national road for that purpose;
and initial steps for the incorporation
of a company to build the road, have
been taken. That's right. Hurry it
up, gentlemen. Passengers for Balti-
more, Washington and the East, will
take the horse cars for Elm Grove.

something over two-thirds of this
