The following section was read amid

throwing: ia.
"As Kentucky gave Abraham Lincoln
to his country and to mankind for the
great work accomplished by him, she
now presents Benjamin II. Bristow
to complete the correction Of ills
ever incident TO war. His past
conduct In office Is an earnest evidence Of
his future course. 1Ie has been true to
Republican principles in war and in
peace, calm aud courageous aud ever

ELM GROVE STREET RnLRoAp.-A
meeting Of several Of the leading friends
of,he Elm Grove Street Railway was held
Yesterday afternoon at the Office Of Peter
son & Baker, for the purpose Of reoFsan-
iziug the movement sci on foot two years
ago looking to the building Of ROAD
between the city and Elm Grove via the
Peninsula. Among those present were
the following gentlemen: Michael heIlIy
(Prest.), r. A. McCabe (secy.l. J. D. Da'
bois, Samuel Lsughlin, Jno' NJ DO'nOro'
Geo. Parks, ]. r. McCOuftney and Lewis
Baker. After discussion oil Inc pas"
history and present prospects OF the en-
,erpri,e, il wa, resolved that as soon as
eO.per cent ofthc nominal capital (slOO,-
OOol should he subscribed, ,thatoperAsions
,baII Immediately commence, II j be-
Iiryed that $4,000, at the present low
priees for iron and other necessary
material, and for labor, will build
the road to Elm Grove, and $780,
900 to Thoa. Hornbrook's place,
four miles out II is known that
the Bellaire Street Railway (2i miles }
was built and equipped. including iOuta
cars, thirteen horses, harness, stable, &C.,
for $4,000, and material is even cheaper
now than it was last year, The, Elm
Grove project has not developed Itself
sufficiently to say what sort Of an equip.
msnt will be used There Is some talk Of
using dummy engine to and from Full
ton, and horses to and from the city to
that point. This mixture we should think
would be found impracticablc. In case
Of dummy" power b eing adopted, the
idea seems to be TO lay down % ID 7
rail, but with horses as the power tram
rail will probably be used. .
We trust this project, thus revived win
become a success, and it certainly has
good backing to start with. The connec.
tions OF the city with its suburban lOcali-
ties along the National road, between this
and Elm Grovc,>a ,>are OF growing char &c.
ter. There is city population residing
all along the pike, and one or two poPu.
lar summer resorts for families and daily
visitors, and also two important cemetcr-
les. These would all bestow 2 consid-
cradle aggregate of patronage on the
proposed railroad, and itiwould be q
growing institution. With dummy"
engine III the difficulties about the kind
Of track can be adjusted) it can be run
very cheap, so cheap that passengers can
be carried to- the east eprlfor 10 cents
This would enable great numbers,0f peo'
pie, especially nurses and children, to
take the country air pretty freely, par
ticular on Saturdays and Sundays. No
doubt our friend, Thos. Hornbrook, Esq,
with his charaetsristtc spirit and taste
will make the termlnls at hi{ plsc. a
very attractive spot. Wa understand
that he proposes to give an asreefg ground
in his park and ahsndsome's transcription
to the road, and also to throw open bis
entire grounds to the public as a sort OF
Uiardin des nlantes" or "Bois de Bou!
logne." This opening would certainly
make the terminus Of the road quite n fea'
ture in its attractions and contribute afnll
share towards the pecuniary success o.
the enterprise.
