A New RAILROAD ScHEME.-The But
Ter (Pa.) Herald OF tho 11th instant says:
I'VE have information that the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company will
proceed at once to make road from AL
1egheny City or Pittsburg, following the
Breakneck creek to Harmony, and thence
from Connection with the New Castle
and Franklin railrord. In this way it is
expected to avoid all difficulties in regard
to free pipe law. because they could
then lay down pipes along the whole
ship oil direct to Baltimore. Not only so,
but they could also obtain large guam
tity of oil from that point. Tho infor-
nation seems to be perfectly reliable
and we are assured. the assertion com-
ing from the contractor, Mr.. Fawcett.
that the road will be made to Harmony
ih six months"

Mr.. Christtancy's Speech.
From tho n. Y. World.


Tho politically late Mr.. Chandler is
likely 10 be more extensively unla-
mented than ever now that his success
sor has shown what he is. The speech
of Mr.. Christiancy Friday, though
more legal argument than a piece of
parliamentary eloquence, shows him
as a man of sense as well as "a man OF
law. Law and sense have not been
lately very common on Mr. r.Christiancy's
side OF the Senate. His luminous ex-
position of what he regards as the cen
tral wrong of Louisiana, though not alb
solutely new, has all the charm of nov
city by reason of the fact that 1t is the
expression OF original conviction pro
duced by original research. The prin-
ciple which he announces and illus
trates In the Is the familiar principle
OF law and OF common sense that no
man shall take advantage of his own
wrong. We commend the speech to
moderate and rational men, IL such
there be, who may. yet entertain doubts
of the perfect impropriety of the whole
action of.the Federal Administration.
Mr.. Christiancy is set down AS Re-
publican but nobody can fail to see
from his speech that he was far more
in common with Messrs. Bayard and
Thurman than with Messrs Morton
and Conkling. The judicial blindness
of the Republican leaders is forcing
such men as he to separate themselves
from the Republican party. Nothing
short of transccndent folly on the part
of the Democratic leaders can prevent
such men as Mr Christiancy from find
| ing in 1876 that there is no refuge for
them outside the Democratic party.
The 135 Republicans who voted for
the Third.term bill show to what
hands the fortunes of the Republican
party are committed. With such men,
MIR. Christiancy, MS he appears in his
speech on the Pinchback case, cannot
have any real political affinity, but
only a temporary and formal connec-
ton.

County, DirisiOs..

The meeting in the Institute Hall. on
Saturday night. in favor OF County Divis-
ion was quite large and those present ex-
hibited great interest in the question.
This question had its origin with gen.
tlemen living in the lower hundreds, and
they adhere to it notwithstanding it
has been proved from the figures pub
lished in the State AUDITORS Report that
Wilmington and the twoupper hundreds
contribute much the larger share OF the
county taxes, and the greater portion Of
the money ia expended in the lower hun
dreds
This view OF the question is fast taking
hold Of our people, and not few of them
are beginning to regard division as the
only mode 10y which the people OF the
proposed New County will be able to put
a stop tothe loaning of the States credit
to Railroad projects that are likely to
bring upon US heavy taxation, from
which We receive no compensation what
ever.
John Ii. Rodney, Esq, in his remarks
on Saturday night, said he came there as
representative Of the friends of the
measure in Now Castle Hundred and
that he was in favor Of County Division,
question Of increased representation, and
because the division Of the County would
soon become necessity.
The Middleto,va Transcript alleges that
the farmers are put to great expense in
attending long sessions Of Court, because
Of the large number OF cases from Will
mington that occupy the time, whereas
a Court for the lower Hundreds would
take much shorter period or might be
held in m ore leisure season.
Mr.. Spruance, in his speech on Satur-
day night, evideatly sought to prove that
County Division was an economical
measure for Wilmington. brandywine
and Christiana Hundreds. As for the
cost of buildings, he said new Court
House was demanded and would have to
be built anyhow if division did not take
place; and that Kent County had just
completed the largest and finest Court
House in the State at cost OF $36, ,0O0,
He might have added that our Levy
Court had partly agreed to enlarge or
rebuild our cid Court House last year at
a COST OF $4,000. Now an entire new
structure could be erected for less than
this sum.
The need Of increased representation
| is being shown more fully every day,
and as there seems to be no other mode
, Of securing it our people are beginning
to unite ON this mode, believing they
viii also obtain another great economi.
cal end in securing the holding Of the
ooarts in this city, and Offices for.county
records. 1t must be born in mind that
the officers are mostly paid by fees, and
the expenses Of small counties like those
Of small States, are more easily kept
down than the expenses in large coun.
ties and States for the same reason We
suppose that there is less aeasts In smal
! families than in large enes.
II we can secure greater economy and
increased facilities and double our repre-
sentation in the Legislature by dividing
the county; and all these advantages art
alleged to be within our grasp by the
friends and advocates Of division, certain
ly there would be strange perversity il
the people should oppose it.

| IN attempt was made to rob a Chicago re.
! porter day or two ago, and it is doubtful il
III all The annals OF crime there has been AFT
torded an instance of such total abandon and
| recklessness on the part Of members of the
thlevlng fraternity. When impelled by greed
men viii do almost anything. but in the case
referred to the mere instinct of theft must
have actuated the wrong doors, since thev
could not hope to profit by the act To rob a
newspaper man anywhere is to seek the ex-
traction OF sunbeams from cucumbers. to
search for the philosophers stone in a potato,
to fish for whales IN mud puddle or to bite
an apple Of Sodom, and to rob a newspaper
man III the city of mortgages and starving
communists is to intensity the folly.
The Chicago reporter was, it seems, mobbed
on the platform of car, but his lustv shouts
brought assistance before his pockets were
picked, and it was really too bad that helm
was so near at hand; the young man coud
otherwise have reioiced in such an exquisite
Joke on his assailants. Imagine the disgust
OF the thieves in examining their spoil A
few scraps OF original poetry a few hotel
toothplcks and matches and programme of
the play brought out by the Chicago Journal
lists. The reporter, in describing the ATTEMPT
upon him. refers to scrip lin his pocket, but
this IS evidently a sarcasm The entire affair
IS one OF the most startling on record not in
Itself, but because it indicates either that |
Chicago thieves are starving or that they
have become so bad and bold as to make their
vlilalnles not only profession but a ,astine |
