We print, this week, letter from Mr.
S. A. Lasley, of Springfield, Ohio, on the
subject of the Narrow Gauge Railroad.
He takes hopeful view of the matter,
and thinks that Springfield will do her
duty in the matter. We hope so.
Springfield was mainly instrumental in
starting the Narrow Gauge ball rolling,
and it would be acting in bad faith to
fail to come to time with its quota, after
the other towns had guaranteed the
amount allotted to them. 1t is true that
JacAson county would be greatly bene-
fted by the road, out Mr.. Lasley cannot
doubt that it would be far greater ad-
vantage to Springfield. Besides, jack
son county, although rich in mineral
wealth, is comparatively poor as regards
ready money, yet she promptly raised
the amount assigned to her, and $1,000
over to render it safe. One of the
Springfield papers, some time ago, stated
that there was enough surplus capital in
do not doubt that that statement is true.
At any rate, Springfield, which will de-
rive more advantage from the building of
the road than any other point along the
route, is more able to subscribe $250,000
than Jackson is to contribute $4,000,
particularly when we consider that jack
son county will be called upon to aid in
building the road on to Pomeroy. We
have an idea, with Mr. L., that Spring
field will do her duty in the matter-that
all her citizens need is little stirring
up" to see the advantages their city
would derive from the road The Spring
field Republic concludes an article on this
subject. as follows:
1t now devolves upon our citizens, busines
men and all-for all are interested, whether
they so consider MOTTO give, as an act of
simple justice, courtesy and fair dealing by the
friends of the enterprise in these other towns,
some sign as to their intentions. If the busi-
ness is to be prosecuted, then "go ahead init der
moose" as 10 Emmett says, ana let this COM
lnunity be heard from. II il is to be dropped
stiIl-born, let us have the funeral notice pub
lished. We don't know that it is one man S
place more than another's to lead off, but If q
few substantial citizens, friends of the enter
prise were to sign call for public meeting
on Thursday evening, the meeting would no
doubt be well attended. Otherwise the failure
to respond might reasonably be taken as set
Ting the business for all time, Let US have the
meeting and let ii be Touser.

A Brother Evans makes a bold dash
with the pen, and wocld have us believe
that he knows something about the soul.
But it is evident to my mind that the
brother is in the dark, and not ca
pable of understanding a production en-
annting from an enlightened mind. l
am not certain but what l ought to reply
to the gentleman's production in the
language of Solomon, by saying, answer
a fool according to his folly; but believing
it to be my duty to enlighten those
claiming to be the salt of the earth.
will attempt to remove the scales from
Brother Evans eyes, in order that his
befogged and darkened mind may under
stand what God is, and the relation of
the soul of man to Deity. Perhaps
can best do this by answering Brother
Evans questions.
| believe God to be eternal, infinite,
indivisible, and immutahle-justa as be-
lieve power, wisdom and love to be.
These attributes may be impaired to q
million of subjects without divisibility,
or the lessening of the fountain from
which they como. Had not your mind
been surrounded with darkness yea

Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin, was
defeated for the Senate last week, and
NJ A. Cameron was elected as his success
sor. 1t will be remembered that Mr.
Carpenter was one OF the salary grabbers
and that he defended that swindle. In
speaking of his defeat, the Cincinnati
Gazette says:
The defeat of Senator Carpenter is not unex-
pected. The opposition to him has been too
steady and persistent TO render at any time his
election probable. All hat arguments and en-
treaties could do to win over the Republicans
who stood out against him was done. The re-
suit is seen. Mr.. Carpenter owes his defeat en-
tir ly to himself. 1t was not the want OF ability
that hurt him. If we should sum up the gener-
al feeling in a word, should say there n
lack OF confidence in his character. His de-
fense of the salary grab, and the manner of that
defense, and his acceptance of "fees' of doubt
full proprieIy, contributed to create this general
feeling of suspicion. In the East his argument
at Ripon against railroads raised up for him
many opponents. His support of, and identif-
cation with, the "prcss-gag' law increased the
feeling against him.

wrath and vengeance. The advocates of
eternal punishment will not contend
that to consign an individual to eternal
punishment without hope of redemption
can be for his good The doctrine is
false, or God is tyrant worse than any
human tyrant that ever trod the earth
No enlightened mind in this, the Nine
teenth Century, will tolerate such incon-
sistent doctrines. They are demoralzing
in their effects, the bane of all society,
and have caused more sorrow, misery ,car
mage and bloodshed, than all other caus-
es Combined. Away with your false the
ories and suprstitious ideas obtained from
heather mythology, and taught by creeds
for selfish purposes, and turn and wor
