not weigh over three ounces be carried for one

Further testimony respecting Mr.. Pendleton $
transactions in recovering the claim of the Ken
lucky Central Railroad, prove yet more astonish-
ing. 1t is shown that the road was not at all
owned by the Bowler heirs, that the people who
did own it got no portion Of the claim, and that
Mr. Pendleton took the lions share. That gentle
man presumably out of politics for the future.

The New York Herald proposes the fol
lowing connundrum to Mr.. Pendleton:

lie defends himself from the charge of having
taken an improper advantage of his infant ward
by the allegation that when the claim was allowed
the portion of the railroad regarded as the prop
erty of those wards, had been adjudged by the
courts to be not their property but the property OF
certain counties of the State of Kentucky. If i
was not to the Bowler children as owners that the
claim was due, he did them no injustice in agree
ing to give himself so large share of it and il
he only wronged certain counties of Kentucky
why, what are counties that anybody should be
aiiectionate and honest on their account? But il
is further reported that though the road was the
property of the counties through which it ran, and
not of Mr.. Pendletons wards, that this gentleman
nevertheless paid to these wards and not to the
counties in question, that part of the claim which
under his agreement belonged to one or the other
II 1t did not belong to his nephews and nieces he
did them no harm by an unequal bargain but il
it belonged to the counties, why did he pay it tt
his nephews and nieces!

The call for the railroad meeting in this

omitted from our columns on Saturday
morning. 1t will be found in its proper
place this morning, and receive we trust
careful reading by all into whose hands
the Journal finds its way. We find that
our article of Saturday in relation to the
meeting and the road has awakened
large degree of interest among our citi-
Gems, and that the building of the road to
West Waterville at an early day meets
with general favor as far as the subject
has been discussed.
