fact that there seems to DO nowhere any
power to prevent or redress the
wrongs that are committed under
tho protection of public opinion. He
SAYS that ain no country but our own is
the discreditablc fact true that where
murder and cruel and shocking Outragcs
are perpetrated by dominant party in a
narrow region Of country, there is no
power Of punishment save through the
impractiCable instrumeutality Of those
who hayo either committed or sympa-
thizcd with tho crime" Hc further says
that sunless our statesmen, State and Ma
tional, create some jurisdiction Of wider
scope, and which will authorize indiCt-
ments and trial beyond the narrow limits
wherein majority Of the citizens abOt
the crime to be punished, the nation must
still submit to the disgrace Of yearly ad-
dittom OF mean and couragC-wantipg
murders Of the innocent and helpless,
without tho slightest inaiCtiOn.of any legal
penalty upon tho offenders" HeSayA also
that
at has beon our painful duty in re-
peated instances to charge juries that the
Federal Court had no Cognizance OF
offences where crimes 40 cruel and shock
ing have been proved that court, Jury,
and audience could scarce refrain from
tcara Of sympathy, and where tho ele-
gantly dressed, socially we'll connected,
and shameless murderers had, in the COM
munities where they had shed innocent
blood, not only confessed, but boosted Of
their crimes, and who had not been
indicted at all, Or,-Rhen tried, had
been acquitted by juries, their coadj tutors
in crime, amid the aCClamatiOnS OF their
Co.conspirators. In u very recent case
1t was proved that young man OF
wealth, education and most estimable
moral character, was shot TO death at
midday by q band OF rulians In bis own
house, Tor no other reason than that lie
had acted ~ the chairman OF commits
too to wait upon the Governor OF his
State to solicit his action for the protec.
tion Of tho negroes Of his county, who
were being driven from their homes,
their houses burned and themselves MUIR
dered by the laWless conspirators by
whom hO was killed, Tho mock
trial by which these infamous Of
tenders were triumphantly acquitted was
still greater stain upon our civilization
than the monstrOus crime II affected to
try. II il believed by many Of our best
citizens that there should be here MS In
every other government on earth, some
power 10 bring such wicked mon TO Jus.
lice, outside Of and uncontrolled by tho
wills and hands which have united In
their atrocities. As It does not now ex.
ist, and ~ no attempt at alteration is
made by the State powers, II Is natural
that all those whose hearts are not oil
flint, and hope to be blessed and prosper
IA they do unto others as they would that
othersshould do unto them, should strive
to the ultormOst to find tho source Of
protection In the Federal Constitution.

Let us have a New Public Build
ing, CaPitalOr NO Capital.

Editou IntslligeneeF'
AS nobody has yet asked my viows in
regard to the proposed appropriation for
q Capital building l suppose that they do
not intend to. / will therefore venture
as an humble individual to volunteer
some reflections on the subject. cannot
persuade myself that the proposed APP
preparation will meet with any serious
opposition from our eitizons, l cannot
sec why It should. The money will bs
spent in our own midst, among our own
business men and mechanics, and nearly
everybody will be directly or indirectly
bsnefitted. And certainly everybody can
partake in the pride which We should all
feel at seeing a Public Building put up
worthy OF acity like Wheeling, Il seems
to me that no argument ought 10 be nec'
essary to convince people that Wheeling
needs such a building as Is contemplated.
She needs o building Of this sort to cor
respond with hOr Gnviable status as a
solid and prosperous community, No
city OF her size In tho country
occupies a more prominent position IS
regards industrial prosperity and sound
ness than Wheeling, In appearance,
however, she does not begin to pass for
what she Is worth, and we certainly owe
something to appearances, As regards
the cOnyeniences Of public building We
are far behind the little city Of Stcubcn-
yille. She has Just put up an edilicO that
cost 100000, Zanesville Is about to put
up ono that will cost S360,0OO. Other
cities arc putting up public structures Of
the same CreditablO character. Why
should not Whecling2 We can put up n
building that will answer for city, county
and State purposes. ! shall therefore
vote for tho appropriation on the 9th Of
next month. Respectfully yours,

The Proposed BellaiFe & SOnth'
Western RAILROAD.

We are informed by gentleman just
returned from a visit to Beallsvillc, on

tho people in that vicinity and at other
points along the proposed line, in the
early completion OF the Bellairc \ South

great deal Of money Is ready to be sub
spribcd to 1t as soon as the proper assur-
ancos Of success can be given. Those
engaged in canvassing for it mean busi'
ness. Their intention Is to tap the large
and important trade Of Monroe county and
Of the Muskingum Valley, and bring II to
BelIairc. It lis the trade Of Monroe county,
especially It's tobacco, that contributes SO
much to the prosperity Of Barnesville,
and that BarncsyillC is trying so hard to
retain by building branch road from
the Central Ohio at that point to
Woodsfeld, distance Of twenty miles
Tho distance from McConnellSville, on tho
Muskingum, to Bellaire Is about sixty
five miles, and it is estimated that a mar
row gauge road can be built for about
$4,000 per mile, or a total Of 81 100000.
Snch road, when built, would open up
rich section Of country to direct inter-
course and trade with tho Ohio river, and
would be of great moment to Bellairc as
lis natural outlet. We should think 1t u
much more important matter to Woods
field to reach the Ohio river direct, ut SO
small cost, than to simply build road
to Barncsville. The distance to Bellaire
is only about twenty-five miles against
twenty to Barncsvillc. Why therefore
travel two sides Of the anglo instead Of
taking its hypothcnuse'
