Hamilton Wants a Marrow Gauge

Hamilton Wants a Narrow Gauge.
The Hamilton (Butler Co.. Tele-
graph, in its last weeks issue, dis
cusses the subject of Narrow Gauge
coal roads, and suggests the connec-
tien of that place with the proposed
road from Cincinnati through Leb-
anon to Xenia, at Sharon. Upon this
subject the editor of the Telegraph
says:
The building of this road from
Xenia East is foregone conclusion,
and the branch line from Xenia South.
via Lebanon and Sharon to Cincin-
natl so nearly so that it is safe to
suppose that the branch will be built.
If this road, then, is to be built, ii
seems to us that it would be wise for
us to come in and share with these
other counties the great advantages
such road must necessarily bring in
its train. If we can build this Sharon
branch, leaving its equipping to the
corporation operating the stem and
Lebanon branch, that corporation
guaranteeing US a certain interest on
the outlay-if we can, by building
this branch, get coal for IL or Il
cents, where we now pay Is and q
cents-if this road will give us a com
peting freight and passenger line Eas
and South-certainly it is the part O
wisdom for us to secure it at the ear
liest possible moment.

= Captain E. B. Ward, of Detroit,
one of the leading capitalists of the
west, died of apoplexy, recently He
was largely interested in the iron
manufacturing interests of the west,
and has, probably, contributed more
to their development than any other
individual in the entire country. He
was largely interested in rolling mills
in this city, Detroit, Milwaukee, and
Cleveland, and has contributed largely
to the prosperity of those cities. An
ardent protectionist and an able man,
he made his influence felt all over the
country, and in congress the opinions
of no man had greater influence on
matters pertaining to the industrial
interests of the west than Captain

The matter should not be postponed

quirer.
That is what might be expected of
the Democracy. They protested
against the right of the Government
to defend itself against the Rebellion,
and against every measure of the Ad-
ministration to suppress the efforts of
the secessionists. Itis only their old
spirit of opposition to the Govern

force obedience to law and to preserve
order in the South.

The people Of Louisiana, that is,
the portion of them who sought to
overthrow the National Government
during the days of the bloody rebel
lion, are still determined to resist the
will and authority of the Government.
When they can effect nothing against
the National Government, they show
a determination to destroy and set at
defiance the laws and authority of
their own State government. Would
not the better way to quiet those re
bellious fellows down there be to
place them under military government
and send Ben Butler down there as
military Governor? They know some
thing of his executive ability down
there, and if they supposed he was
coming they would either yield to the
powers that be, or strike out for Texas

We notice that the delinquent
tax list is published in the Lebanon
Star, and it is creditable to the peo-
pie of that county to say that the en-
tire list of delinquents for nonpay-
ment of taxes on lands and town lots
is but four-and that the amount due
on these lots is but tive dollars and
twenty one cents. We doubt whether
another county in the State, and we
may extend it to the United State, can
present a balance sheet equal to that
of old Warren. She has cause to be
proud of this but why did the Treas
urer publish the list at all +? The pub
Ication will cost some twelve dollars.
We suppose it's publication, however,
was a mere matter of pride, to show
the prOmptness of Warren county
people to pay their taxes.
