The Liquor Question.

The Constitutional Convention, on
Thursday, completed its action on the
LIQUOR clause. Alternative sections are
tn he submitted for ratification, the vo-
ting to be in the shape of ''license, yes"
and sIicense, no." Should the nrs1
proposition carry, then this section Is TO
supply the place of the present one upon
that subject to-wit:
stSEc. -. License to trafnc IN splriUu-
ous. yinous or malt liquors, under such
regulations and limitations as snail De
prescribed by law, may be granted, but
This section shall not prevent the Gen
eral Assembly from passing such laws
to restrict such traffic, and to compen-
safe the injuries resulting therefrom.
But should the vote result in favor Of
slicense, no." then the following sec
ton is to become part of the COnstitu-
ton, and govern the Legislature in deal
ing with this serious question, to-wit:
SRc. =. No license to traffic in intoxi-
eating liquors shall hereafter be granted
in this State; but the General Assembly
NAV bv law, restrain or prohibit such
traffic, or may provide against evils re-
sulting therefrom."
The vote of the Convention upon sub
mission in this shape was "a to 29. The
temperance delegates voted for the
proposition.
This is a fair proposition. Still we
should have preferred that of Judge
West, which remitted the whole ques-
tion-license or no license, and even pro-
bibition-to the General Assembly, thus
leaving action upon the question to be
controlled by public sentiment, as it
might appear from time to time. But it
seems that we could not get that. The
question is to be settled and controlled
by Constitutional limit. In this view
this is fair proposition. Even if license
carries it does not prevent the General
Assembly from passing laws to restrict
the traffic and to compensate the injuries
resulting therefrom. In other words,
even with license, we can have as many
Adair laws as the Legislature in its wis
dom chooses to pass. Then, in the al
tentative, with the adoption of license,
no." comes the power even to prohibit.

CORRESPONDENCE.
The Great AIRLINE Railroad.
For the Gallipolis Journal.
GREENsBURG, INDIANA,
April 26th, 1874.

Mp E0rrop-
Will you please allow me short
space in your columns to call the at
tention of your readers to an effort
now being made to build double.
track, narrow gauge railroad from
Washington City and Richmond, to
Chicago and st. Louis via Cincinnati.
AS Point Pleasant, West Va, has
been selected as the crossing point on
the Ohio river, the people of Gallia
county and perhaps Gallipolis, would
be interested in the building of that
road. A company organized under
the laws of Virginia is now engaged
in the construction of that part of
the line that lies across the Shenan-
doah Valley. 1t was the object of
the projectors of this scheme to fur
nish low freight line from the Mis-
sissippi Valley to tide water. In or
der to accomplish that end they now
have a bill pending in Congress which
gives them a national charter over
the routes indicated, and government
aid in the way of indorsing the bonds
of the company to the amount OF
$4,000 per mile. These bonds to
run for forty years, bear 6 per cent.
interest, and to be issued to the COM
pany as they complete and equip
each section of ten miles. In default
of the payment of any installment OF
the interest on these bonds, the Sec
retary of the Treasury may take pos
session of the road and dispose of it
in the way that seems best to protect
it's creditors. In consideration of
this aid by the government Congress
is to have authority to regulate the
charges on freight and passengers.
But it is stipulated in the bill that the
charges on grain for the first year af
ter the completion of the road shall
be 9 mills per ton per mile, to be re-
duced J mill per ton till the rate of
u mills is reached. The work must
begin in each State within six months
after the passage of the bill, and the
whole line must be completed within
three years. -f
1t is well known that roads of this
class can be built much more cheap
ly than those of the standard gauge,
and their business capacity is almost
as great. President Borst, in his ad
dress before the Transportation Com
mittee of Congress, declared that its
capacity would be equal to that of
the Erie Canal. He also stated that
if they were furnished business equal
to two-thirds of their capacity that
they could probably haul wheat from
St. Louis or Chicago to Baltimore at
from ten to twelve cents per bushel.
This is the first effort on anything
like a grand scale yet made to try and
solve the great question of cheap
transportation, and we think for that
reason it should receive the support
of the friends of that movement ev-
erywhere. In order to afford the
friends of this road an opportunity
to meet together and consult upon
the best means to be adopted to car
ry out this great work, President
Borst has determined to hold meet
ing at some convenient point on the
line-perhaps at Cincinnati-where
he hopes to meet representatives
from every town, hamlet or grange
that will in the least be benefited by
the building of the road.
Yours, truly,
WILLIAM o. FOLEY.

f~Rellef to the Ohio river commerc,

Relief to the Ohio river commerce
has come at last. Congress has finally
passed the Louisville and Portland ca
nal bill. 1t provides that the Govern
ment shall take possession of the canal
in thirty days, reduce the tolls to ten
cents ton for steam vessels, and to five
cents per ton on other than steam yes
sells. Heretofore the tax has been fifty
cents a ton. The bill is of great impor-
lance to our river commerce.

UTILIZING LEATHER CHIPS While numer-
GUS processes for utilizing the ottal ID the man
ufacture of leather are in successful operation
there has been comparatively open held re-
spectipg leather waste. At the Vienna Exhl
bition. leather was shown suitable for heels;
toe caps aud inner soles, prepared from leather
clippings, according TO a French method, by
simply mixing them with some adhesive sub
stance, forming the mass into rectangular
plates, on top of each other, subjectiDg them
to hydraulic pressure, and then drying and
rolling them. This article was restricted 10
use because it could not withstand moisture.
4 Copenhagen firm, however, exhibited tor
the first time an article made upon an entirely
different plan. The leather scraps were first
converted, in suitable machine, into Il sort OF
leather WOOL which was then mixed with ca.
outchouc aud different chemical reagents,
kueaded by machinery into thick, pasty mass,
and then formed III metal moulds and dried
and subjected to gradually increasing pres
sure until it was finished, under +, 900 to 10000
pounds to the square inch. The appearance OF
leather is impaired to it by light coating.
Articles manufactured from this material are
said to be fifty per cent cheaper than those
made FROM leather, and can be made 10 the
same manner, while they are at the same time
perfectly waterproof. Chemical investigation
shows it to consist of about forty per cent Ca
outchouc and sixty per cent leather.
