WHEELING AND LAKE ERIE RAIL
ROAD.

Yesterday morning We. gave some
interesting information in reference to
the progress o. the work of obtaining
subscriptions to the capital stock of the
Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad. Some
time ago it will be recollected, that Judge
COCHRAN published letter in the papers
of this city, in which he set out the con-
dition and prospects of that en-
terprise,-showing that the full quota
of the capital stock for the
first one hundred miles of the road,
commencing at Sandusky and running
this way, has been subscribed, and ex-
pressing regret that this city was cxhib-
ting no interest in the building Of this
end, and securing the benefits sure to fol-
low so important connection. Under
this feeling Of disappointment, the Judge
was inclined to resign his position as a
member of the Board OF Directors at their
next meeting, to be held on the 18th inst.
To this proposition, strong protest
has come up to the Judge, not only from
various points out along the line, but
from prominent and influential
men in this city and vicinity.
Judge COCHRAN has done much
toward organizing and building up the
project to connect this city directly with
Sandusky and Toledo by rail, and he has
done much to strengthen the enterprise
in this city. No one will deny that it
will be great thing to Wheeling to
have this road, and as it is now reasOna-
bly, sure that the road will be
built, we cannot afford 30 lose
the connection here. In this mat
ter no man in the city can be of as great
use to US as Judge G. Therefore, We
protest against his resignation. We
want TIE Wheeling " Lake Erie Rail-
road built, and we want it built into the
city of Wheeling, and we want the aid
of Judge COCHRAN and all other good
citizens in its behalf.
