CHESAPEAKE Il OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY, J
NICE-PRESIDENTs OFFICE,
Richmond, Va, Aug. -, lSI4.)

Eds. of Enquirer: Gentlemen-Your pa
per Of to-day contains an article headed,
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad De-
falcation." in which is given the sayings
Of the Richmond correspondent Of the
Chicago Times. There is rot the very
slightest ground for any Of his statements.
1t is utterly Untrue that there has been
any defalcation on the part OF any officer
or employe of this company.
1t is utterly untrue that | have had any
angry words with or assaulted any en-
ploye of this company, and it is utterly
untrue that there has been any agreement
between any official OF this company and
any steamers, in which said official was
to receive pecuniary benefit from the con-
tract.
Permit me 10 say, gentlemen, that, in
my opinion, such publications as the one
referred to are in great abuse Of the Glib
ertv Of the press and to express surprise
that journal OF such high standing as
yours should permit them to find place in
lis columns without first iuquiring into
the truth thereof
Your obcdiaYt servant,
W. G.. WICKHAM,
Vice President.

A TALK WITH SUBSCRIBERS.
BY THE EDITOR.

In looking over my list of subscribers
find at least one thousand whose time
has expired. Most of them are only a
month or two behind; some a year; a
few two or more years. OF the one
thousand at least nine hundred will hon.
estly pay, at some time. The other one
hundred will perhaps never pay. Now
do not know for a certainty who this
one hundred are.
Ny paper bill is now very large. At
one dollar and half, there is no margin
for losses. l have to pay money prompt
ly for all my paper and other expenses oi
the office.
To each and every subscriber, ] desire
to make direct and personal appeal
When you read this article, turn to your
name, as printed on strip of yellow pa
per and pasted on your paper. There
YOU will see the date to which you have
paid. If the date there is prior to Octo
Der %, 1874, you will know that you are
behind. Then mean you, and l want
you to give the matter prompt attention.
You may think it is small matter, and
a dollar and half is small matter,
here or there. Let US see. In one
month, a note of $500 will become due.
and if 200 of the l,00b delinquents /
have named would pay for one year, my
note could be paid.

Prohibition.

The two great parties have each ex-
pressed their feelings since the election;
then will it not be proper and right to
tell the people how Prohibition feels ?
1t feels contented, innocent and hope
Tul
1t cannot rejoice with those that re-
loice, neither weep with those that weep.
1t cannot shout with the Democracy,
'or it has embraced the demon, rum, and
such JOY would be mingled and allied
with the shouts of Satan in the form OF
whisky.
1t cannot weep with the Republicans,
'or they have been a lukewarm party
trying to serve two masters-which Is
dangerous and an impOssiblity. The
| Great Ruler would that we be either cold
or hot. II is strange, but true, that in
the midst of Democratical joy there is
sorrow Some of the Democracy view
the terminus. They see that at no dis
tant day the Temperance Democrats
| Republicans, and Prohibitionists vii
unite; then. victory is certain. Unit

triumphs in Ohio and Indiana will con
tinue triumphant. 1t is mere folly fo
any party to expect to live forever oil
past achievements, however glorious tn
record may have been. The cries anC
groans of humanity must be heard. Gu
country must be saved. Then, let u
; strike for liberty, and be free from tn
slavery OF rum. The right will ultimate
ly prevail. WINFIELD SCOTT.

The litor of the Columbus Gazette
has turned Granger, and says:

The iitor of the Columbus Gazette
has turned Granger, and says:
I'VE are heartily glad to note the rap
id sp cad OF the Changers throughout the
coun ry, because, as they now stand. they
are sreatly to the benefit of the farming
community. They have even taken on
batter shape than when the Order first
originated At first it seemed aggressive
AS if it intended to Fght its way to rec
ognition, and (tell it not In Gath) in too
| many instances to monopolize little ex-
perimentalIy. But age has set the Order
| in the right track-tbe path of ssif-iHa
Droysment We give our friends hearty
| grasp OF the hand on this, with the pleas

thousand subordinate oranges in the

an squash vines are looking up, and we
do It hear politicians talking quite SO
much as he used to did," about the ''pe-
nurious and close-fisted farmer"
And then he goes on to tell what be
knows about granging, as follows:
| And now many owners of fine lawns in
the city are beginning TO cover them with
manure, or other unsightly substances
10 protect them, so they say. Will our
city friends please step out in the coun
try and ask the first Granger they come
across if he covers the grass in his pasture
with manure or corn-fodder Ten tC
one his answer will be derisive laugh
with an invitation to go TO the marines.
Grass is hardy. 1t needs no covering
Tine ground is rich enough Who eveI
heard of an old pasture being run dowr
50 the land would produce nothing
fhen why surround your dwellings
friends, with the refuse OF the barn yard
It is a mistaken idea, and a lawn will b,
none the better for it. And not onl!
CuIs it is entirely out OF taste.
Now persons who have any practica
sense as farmers, know that manure j
worth fifty per cent. more to the sol
when spread upon grass land late in til
tall, than when applied in any othe
way.
