Dayton & SOUTHEASTERN Rallroad,


There has been a misunderstanding
between the Chillicothe people and
Mr.. Corwine, one of the Dayton Dl-
-rectors of the D. & S. E. R. R. Com
pany, and other members of the soard'
in relation to running the road from
this place to the mines by the way OF
.Bainbridge, etc., and giving Chillicothe
the dodge altogether. Mr.. Corwine
has written letter, in reply to an edi-
torial in the Chillicothe Register.
From that letter of Mr.. Corwine's we
make the following extract:
In reference to the intimation which
YOU make that the Dayton directors
had conferred with the friends of the
Springfield road with view Of avoid
ing Chillicothe, have only to say it
is simply groundless. We have acted
in perfect good faith towards Chilli
cothe in every particular but we could
not take off your shoulders this load
of 500, 900 and put it on to ours, nor
did we think it quite delicate in your
directors to ask it of US. Certainly we
would have felt delicacy in asking
them to relieve US of 100000 of our
stock by subscribing that much more
than the sum allotted to them. It was
suggested that this deficiency might
be made up by increasing our bonded
debt; but that debt is limited by Law
to an amount equal to the capital
stock, and upon this basis it was
thought that all of the stock and mon
ey, as contemplated in the original ap
portionment, might be required tC
complete and fully equip the road. II
is therefore indispensable that the
amount of the capital stock agreed up
on must be subscribed before the con
struction of the road is begun. We
sincerely hoped Ross and jackson
, would take the amount allotted tt
them, but when they asked us to pledg,
the company to accept only half tina
amount and make the road through
Chillicothe, and deprive ourselves o
the opportunities of reaching the Goa
fields by other routes where the none,
could be obtained, they ought not t
feel aggrieved if we declined.
In this view of the determined fact
we think your directors have been un
wisely sensitive and uniustly suspi
{ cious. But of this you must judge 70
yourselves. AS for US, we expect t.
reach the coal fields through Chilli
cothe, or by some other route.
p, Should you build the road fron
Chillicothe to Jackson, as intimatet
in these articles you intend to do
you will then have done about as mucl
as your apportionment amounts to-
When you shall have done this, VI
will be ready to open negotiation
with you for running arrangement t.
between the two ends of the road
We can complete ours to Chillieoth,
if you can complete yours to Jackson
so that, under fair running arrange
ments, the original plan for construct
J ing the road will have been substan
TALLY carried out. Meantime, we cal
negotiate with the Springfield or an.
; other company which will enable u
e to reach the coal fields.

- The Legislature of this State ad-
jOurned on Friday evening until Tues
day morning. Whenever the Demo
Gratis get a majority in the Legislature
they express a great desire to econo-
miss in the way of State expenses, and
save the people from paying great
amount of taxes; in order to do this,
they always extend the sessions to q
fearful length, thus increasing instead
of diminishing the burdens of taxa
tion. That's the way they do it.

The Wilmington Republican says:
Those within our county who have
made themselves liable to Indictment,
are, no doubt, awaiting the action of

The best way, gentlemen, is to conduct
yourselves so as to let the sitting of
the Grand Jury give you no uneasi-
ness.

SALT LAKE, March 8.-There have
been published in this city for the las
thirty days incessant attacks upon
Governor Axtell, the newly appointed
Governor, who has been in the Terri
tory about that length of time, Also
| charges have been telegraphed to the
press in regard to him which he as
serts are false in every particular. 1t
is not believed there is any dissatisfac-
ton among the public with regard to
his course.
On Thursday, March 4, attorney G..
E. Whitney had disagreement with
Judge Mexican during the session of
the court, and after its adjournment,as
the Judge was leaving the room, Whit
ney said: Ifyou mean to say what I
said was false you lie." To-day an
order was read in Court to the effect
that George E. Whitney pay fine of
800, that he is forbidden to practice
his profession in this court until in
open Court, he shall, in person or in
writing, make an unequivocal and ac-
ceptable apology for contempt of
Court, and that in default of such pay
ment and apology within one month
he will be disbarred.
Last night there was another escape
from the Territorial penitentiary. The
parties were John Goodman, indicted
for assault with intent to kill; George
Lewis, for gambling Charles William
son and John Smith, for stealing from
dead man Charles Buckley, for as
sault with intent to kill; j. E. Kicks.
indicted for murder and polygamy
and w. A. Dam, indicted for connec-
ton with the Mountain Meadow mas
sacre. Shafer, under sentence of death
for murder, refused to leave.
