Wheeling and Lake Fate Railroad

Wheeling and Lake Fate Railroad
The citizens Of Jefferson county along
the line OF the Wheeling and Lake Erie
railroad will be glad to know that the
work Of grading, &c, will soon be CON-
menced. There remains but about
$4,000 to be raised on the line from
Zoar to Wheeling to insure this matter
beyond the possibility Of failure. This
amount divided over the SIS miles will
be but $1,000 or less per mile. This
amount at once secured will enable the
company, with cooperation Of the Val
ley Railway Company to build the road
to Martins Ferry, without the
aid OF Wheeling. We understand
the friends OF the road do moi
propose to give up the project; on the
contrary, all view the matter 80 but
temporary, 40 fsr as Wheeling is con-
cerned. We learn from the Cleveland
Leader that the work OF grading on the
Valley Road between Akron and Can
ton has already commenced. This
should at once inspire confidence
among the people, as by this arrange
ment two roads will be secured, aud tc
the residents along the line the entire
markets of the lake will be OPEN
There should be no delay. Fifty mer
should step forward and subscribe the
stock without being solicited.-Ste''6sn'

WHAT The New YORK Sun Says AbOut
sna kha rnau Case.


the Sherman Ease.
Mr.. DANA, OF the New York Sun, is
at Washington and writes to his paper
a. follows:
No action will be taken to impeach
Judge Sherman, notwithstanding the
mopstrous outrage upon his high office
OF which be is convicted OF his own
hand and oath. The family influence
is TOO strong and the committee will
plead the pressure of Delahay's and
Durelrs cases AS an excuse for delay,
although the proof is overwhelming
aud requires no additional support. Be-
sides, 8 full isquiry might disclose
some unpleasant things which are not
generally krown. The sudden wealth
OF Senator John Sherman has excited
much remark in the circle where he is
best known. With all the pains taken
to concesl these vast acquisitions they
have leaked out.
Fifteen or sixteen years ago John
Sherman came to Washington, with no
visible fortune, and supposed to be
worth $4,000 at the utmost in Mans
field Ohio. He is to-day estimated to
be millionaire four times over. and to
have an income of nearly Sl5O,O 900 per
annum. He had great facilities from
mis- connection with the financial COM
mittees, and rom his peculiar friend
ship with Jay Cooke j. Co, which
dates back to the time Of their mutual
poverty. And it is clear that he did
not neglect those opportunities. No
wonder seats in the Senate are sought
at high prices when they bring such
marvellous returns,
1t is easy to count twenty or twenty,
five Senators who came here poor, end
who are now revealing in wealth.
Everybody knows it. The surprise is
that houest men countenaDce such IN
blushing rogues, and have not demand
ed investigation. Tolerance has en-
couraged crime, until seats in the
Senate are sold al Legislative auctions,
az we have recently seen in Kansas,
| South Csrolina, Nevada, and elsewhere

CHILD FoUND.-On Saturday last, Mr..
John W. Tabb, who resides near Ger
ardstown, started out to trace up the
den of fox which had been preying on
his sheep fold. He went to a "sink
hole" in one of the fields on his farm
and on making an examination Of the
place, found to his establishment and
horror the body OF an infant child, ap.
parently not more than a day or two
old. 1t had evidently been thrown into
the sink Immediately after its birth, and
had lain there day or two before it
WAS discovered. It's throat bore marks
of having been strangled to death be-
fore it was cast into the sink. A cor
ouer's jury WAS summoned, and YER
dict rendered to the effect that the child
came to its death at the hands Of some
party or parties unknown to the jury.
It is hard to conceive OF the inhu
mainly which could induce the perpen-
tration of such crime.
