The frsenews OF the action of the Senate In rela-

OF this port came by private dispatches from the
Simmons party and was circulated from mouth to
mouth with wonderful rapid,ty. The report was at
first received with ncredulous smiles by the public.

than the present occupant Of the ONCE had been

the first despatch called out the most extravagant

and delight. Arrangements were at once made for

was called to the chair. He opened the proceed
ngs with an address eulogistlc Of Mr.. Simmons.
He admired him for his STRAIGHTFORWARD course,
his honorable rise from hardship and poverty to .
conspicuous position in society, which displayed
ability and energy Of character sure to carry MIN
to still greater success.
THIS INDfsPENsABLE CHAMPAGNE
had by this time arrived in Righteousness, and no
time was lost in drinking to the health and pros
perity of the new Collector. Brief speeches were
then made by the various persons present, In
which abuse and praise were showered proiusely
upon the leading operators at Washington. The
sentiment that prevailed was that the young ele-
ment OF the party had gained great victory that
1t had been rebellion against the aristocracy, IN
which the 'poor bOyn had won. Great devotion
was expressed for General Butler, bis name al.
ways calling for cheers. All gave him the credit
for securing the nomination, and many declared
tnat they would support him Tor Governor next

J. M. D. williams and Henry L. Pierce were
severely abused. John A. NOrwell, r T.. Nichols,
George A. Shaw, Albert Palmer, Charles Fl. Leach,
John l.. Swift, William Bubler, Andrew J. Bailey,
Captain Frost and Edward Crane were among
those who did the speechmaSing. The company
did not break up till about ten O'Clock.
During the evening a eongratulatory de-
spatch was sent by the President OF the
evening to Benjamin +. Butler, giving information
that large impromptu meeting OF republicans
and democrats was in session at Parker's and
thanking him for the services he had rendered: A
despatch was received in reply from General But
Ter. saying their friends in Washington joined In
congratulations, but claimed that the need OF
praise was due to General Grant Tor his frmness
in the trying emergency.

child is none other than the blind girl Louise who
was found lying on doorstep by Henriette's
father and brought up by him. The little outcast

despatched BY Count de Linieres rush into the
room, arrest HeDrietre and lead her or to the
Sapetriere or prison for dissolute women, where
she is told that she will be transported to the
colonies BY the first prison ship that sails. All
now seems lost for Henrietta, who Is aware that
M de Linieres will never be at rest till he has put
her beyond reach Of marrying his nephew but,
happily, there Is In the prison an unfortunate girl
called Marianne, to whom Henriette had shown
kindness when they were both confined together
in the Marquis de Presles' house, and this girl,
who has repented Of her sinful llfe determines
to save her benefactress On the day when the con-
voy Of prisoners is to leave Paris, and when the
names are being called over in the yard OF the
Sapetrere, Marianne generously answers to
Henriette's name, and Is manacled and taken or
in her stead. The prison matron detects the noble
hearted fraud just as 1t Ia being perpetrated, but
she Is sienced by Marianne, who Graves to be sent
out beyond the seas to work out her atonement
and who, at the same time, relates the story Of
Henriette's life. Before going Marianne, who has
heard that the Frochards have been seen with

AS will be seen, the population in the
counties on the line of the proposed Day
ton & South Eastern, exceeds that Of the
counties on the Columbus & Hooking VAL
ley 413, 1856; the true value OF real and
personal estate, $780, ,473. .935; the value of
farm products, $19, 10, JOG; in capital en-
ployed in manufactures, $53, ,G63, ,O28, and
in the value of manufactured goods, $780,
256, 1882.
The population of cities and towns con-
tanning over 1000 inhabitants on the line
of the Columbus & Hooking Valley, is
SO, 9,522, while that of those on the line of
the Dayton & South Eastern is 29l,O78, a
difference of 251 $50 in population in favor
of the proposed Road.
We might rest the argument here with
| the full assurance that our readers would
agree with us, that the Dayton & South
Eastern will unquestionably prove the best
dividend paying road in Ohio, il not in the
United States; but there are other reasons
which compel us to the conclusion.
The Coal Fields Of jackson County
furnish coal for smelling purposes, une-
qualed for its purity and excellence, and
which only needs the stimulating effect oil
competition in transportation to furnish a
source Of income as reliable and certain as
the demand for coal. Jackson G. f., and
is immediate vicinity, if provided with
all the transportation required, at reasona
bic rates, would furnish AT THIS TIME ;
traffic amounting to full half million PEI
annum.
Pomer0y and its immediate surroundings
has a business already built up that need.
only the stimulus Of cheap and constan
transportation to make another half mil
lion Of freight. In a word, the Daytol

interest less than one fourth; aOith its OperGtin

The Route Of she Dayton and south
Eastern Narrow Gauge Railway
In estimating the probable business Of
proposed road, the best criterion is that
of railways already constructed and in op-
peration, in sections contiguous to the
proposed line.
Fer the purpose of com parison in the
case under consideration, we will first
take that of the Columbus & Hooking Val
ley Railway. This road is well located
for business, and is ably managed, and it
cannot therefore be claimed that we are
making an unfair comparison.
s Commencing in Columbus, the Capital
of the State, the line passes out of Frank
lin county through the counties of Fair
field and Hooking to Athens, the county
seat of Athens county.
Four counties. with their county seats,
are tributary to the road, besides railway
connections at Columbus, Lancaster. Io-
gan and Athens.
That road has cost SAG, $50 81 per mile,
of which amount $27, ,O85 42 is in the form
ofa bonded debt In 1873 this road earned
$11.535 81 per mile: its operating expenses
were s. POO OG per mile, leaving s., ,335 81
per mile as net earnings, from which was
declared a dividend of 10 per cent,
Let us examine the resources of the
section in which the Columbus s. Hooking
Valley Road is located, and compare the
same with that in which it is proposed to
locate tho Dayton and South Eastern Mar
row Gauge Railway. and see whether it be
likely to prove paying investment
The following tables are compiled from
the United States Census Report for 1870,
hence may be considered accurate enough
for all practical purposes.

Experience--A True Test.

Mr.. James NJ. Willis, of Bloomingburg
in this county, for the last three years has
been feeding his hogs ordinary stone coal
He is now using what is called mutt coal,
which is cheaper and preferable to the
common coal, as it is already broken into
small pieces. He has not lost hog
since using it, by cholera, or any other dis
ease.
Your readers may want to know how
often, and the quantity to be used. For
one hundred hogs, feed them about two
bushels per week; but a greater quantity
will not injnrc them, as they eat it very
readily, and will fatten more rapidly. The
nut coap costs cents per bushel at Wash
ington c. Fl. Mr.. Willis hogs at Is months
old averages 456 lbs. and spring pigs, at
Z months old, avera ges $50 lbs.
