along the line, enli ted in the cause, we
need give no names, as everybody is en-
gagged in it.
The. charter, as we are informed by
Mr.. MOONEY who has just returned FROM
meeting with the leading citizens OF
Bellaire, will provide for the construction
of road from that city. by Armstrong;
Mills and Beallsville, to Woodsfield.
In a week or two meetings will be held
along and near the proposed line, and a
thorough and systematic plan will be
adopted for securing subscriptions of
stock. And right here comes the an
swer to the question, Will the road be
built? If a considerable number of the
! people hold back, either because they
live some little distance from the line, or
because they hope to do nothing and
have others pay for the road, it will
never be made. But if every one along
and near the line will promptly come
forward and do his duty If he will sub
scribe one-half or one third of the
amount that the road will benefit him
then we will have road completed and
doing business, ON tee centennial of
American Independence-the 4th of
July, 1875 sal-- tg as. raA~1}
I The people should go into this move
ment like men who are in earnest. Let
there be no waiting, one for another
The chances of success are well worth
! tAe effort, though the effort may require
y the united energy Of all the people for
miles on both sides Of the line And
unless we are determined to make such
an effort, we might as well now sit down
in our mud to stay there. aas ID
i But if the feeling is elsewhere along
the line as it is here, and we may say as
it is in this county, we need talk only o.
success. There is no question of doubt
that the people directly interested can
build the road, and on such terms that
every man of them will be worth more
money when it is completed than he was
/. before If every dollar of the stock is
given away, it will be money we'll invest
led. But Col SULLIVAN does not believe
the stock will be worthless. He is conf
dent that the road will afford net profit
} of from 33 to SO percent over running
expenses. a- ssG .ss4s, ae !,..

ing full information on the subject, ani
will be placed in the hands of the people
all along the line. sae'asye.t Esa
| We do not claim that there is Ger.
tainty that the road will be constructed
the only thing that is entirely certain is,
that if those interested will do their duty
the road will be in operation in eighteen

We are not of the opinion that the
county printing Is the one absorbing
topic OF the age; nor do we suppose that
the people of the county care everything
for the few hundred dollars paid for
printing, and nothing Tor the hundred
thousand dollars of their taxes paid out
for other purposes. But 1t has been
given netoriety beyond its Importance
BY certain. persons who endeavor to
identify their selfish schemes with the
public welfare, and who maneuver to
have the failure OF their little games
looked upon as great public calamity

Weight Of train loaded,

The narrow gauge train, with the load
of standard train, is 50 tons less weight
than the Standard train empty, and lO2
tons less than the standard train with the
same load; and when these trains run, as
all trains do, with less than an average halt
load, the difference becomes startling
when looked at from a financial stand
point. s.a
The above simple facts develop aggre-
gate amounts in the commerce of the
country which involves millions of dol
lars every year. a 4.-
reg THE QUESTION OF TRANSFER. E.a5
The objection that the construction Of
a narrow gauge railroad will render q
transfer of freight necessary wherever il
shall connect with broad gauge road, is
one which demands attention. Without
discussing the question at length, we sub.
NIT the following suggestions:
If the narrow gauge is the better and
cheaper road, we may safely assurne that
1t will not he many years before we shall
see 8 narrow gauge system extending
throughout the country, and therefore in
a great degree independent Of the broad
gauge roads in the matter Of transfers
and connections.
The cost Of transfer is generally over
estimated. 1t is in tact small item in
comparison to the sum which may be
saved by the reduction Of rates which
would follow the construction of trunk
line of narrow gauge road under ma
tional charter, and such rates as are pro
vided in the bill under considerations
Ten cents per ton is generally regarded
| as a fair estimate of the cost of transfer

The Civil Rights Bill is not a failure.

II EWe agree with Mr.. Sayler in his
definition of the remedy for the existing
difficulties in the RECONSTRUCTED States
He says: ESQ 4'.-
"The people who live i'm these States
must be trusted, and they must be per-
mitted to govern themselves. Harmony
can never be restored by arms and hos
tile legislation. We should seek to ele-
vate these people, and not TO debase
them to cultivate their high instincts
and manly pride, and not to humiliate
them to make them in the broadcast
sense freemen, and not slaves. Then
shall these States be restored to peace,
and prosperity return to them and to

~Itwas urged by the advanced Re
publicans who are strutting around in the
mantle of CHARLES SUMNER, that the
emasculation of the Civil Rights Bill, by
striking out the school clause, would
leave tia not very sweet-scented corpse.
These enthusiastic admirers Of the repre-
sentatives Of previous condition of SER
vitude were mistaken.
The passage of that bill has opened up
a new and lucrative employment in the
South, which has resulted in the elevation
of alarge class Of its bene6caries to a.
higher business standing.
Heretofore the darkey, with soul
above drudgery, was driven to the neces
sity of picking up a precarious living
among his neighbors' hen-roosts, his hap
Ipiness constantly alloyed by apprehen-
sions Of having to carry about with him
a charge of number ten shot belonging to
his neighbors'gun.
But now, tharks to the Civil Rights
| Act, no darkey with any spirit of enter
prise is forced to subsist like an owl. He
has only to go "sashaying" about, de
manding the best rooms at the hctels,and
the choicest seats at the theaters, until he
is refused. This refusal is worth to him
texactly the sum of Ave hundred dollars
in greenbacks. SEA tsDt p n@s
No troublesome questions arise as to
whether he was injured to that extent or
not, Congress has made alaborious COM
tputation, and finds that five hundred dol
lars is the precise figure which repairs the
damages to that darkey's sensitive ma,
turs, and restores him to an anxious
world as good as new. sh'a77taa1aa
Eisavery poor week for lawsuits il a
darkey who attends strictly to business
cannot get himself kicked out of one or

fates mock his laudable ambition to- be-
come member of some Legislature ia

artist.
Fromthe daily reportsof suits COM

keepers closing their houses, there are the
most encouraging indications that this

to languish, and that every Southern city

laid. There were six feet of water in the reser-
ton of which found its way out into Melvin's
pond, quarter of mile distant, raising the level
of the pond about two feet The trouble was &C.
casioned by springs and quicksands in the soil be-
hind the reservoir wall. At its full height in the
reservoir the water will stand at % feet, and had
it been filled to anything like that level the conse
quences of break might have been serious.
Measures are to be taken at once to make the
embankment secure.

Mysterious Disappearance.

Manchester, October %. Charles z. Young,
son Of Charles E. Young of this city, has been
missing since Friday morning and diligent search
fails to reveal any clue to his whereabouts. The
authorities will spare no pains to find the missing
boy.
La Page, the Suspected Murderer.
Concord, October %. La Page was visited by
the jailcr this p. m, who found secreted be-
tween his shirt and undershrt, close up under
his arm, one of the iron braces of his bed. He
had made knife of a piece of hoop iron, taken
from the bed frame. The mattress of his bed
was made Of excelsior, and he had a considerable
quantity OF this and stuffed it in the ventilating
fluc of the cell. During the forenoon he tried to
obain matches from the prisoners near him to set
it on fire. 1t is supposed that he intended to
raise fire alarm, and when the cell door
opened, make his escape by forcing his way with
the iron brace or knife.
1t has been rumored that the missing parts of
Josie Langmad were found at late hour Of the
afternoon, but the story is denied.
In search made this afternoon in La Pages
house, it is said the officers found evidences dam
aging to La Page but they very reticent as to
what it is.
Detectives have been with LaPage nearly all
day taking his statement through an interpreter.
1t is understood that they have in their possession
facts of q most important character to implicatc
him in the Pembroke murder. The detective
stated this evening that he had made some sort
Of confession, out he declined to state what it
was. Three girls from Suncook positively ident

on several occasions. On the Saturday before the
murder, Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Towle of Pembroke,
were riding along about 50 rods from where the
murder occurred, when they meet man carrying
club such as was found near the scene of the
murder and they identified LaPage as the man
they met. The detectives express a decided
opinion that LaPage is guilty of the Pembroke
murder
