NOTES ON JACKSON COUNTY.
BY D. MACKLEY.

1t was the original intention to run
the Scioto and Hooking Valley Railroad
from Portsmouth, in Scioto county, to
Newark, in Licking county, and the gra-
ding was done from Hamden to Near
thur twenty years ago, but for lack of
means it was never compl eted beyond
Hamden, and perhaps never will be.
About the time that the road was built
through this county, the Marietta
and Cincinnati road was built. This
road cuts through corner of Jackson
township, in this county, and passes
through a considerable portion of Wash
ington township. About the same time
the Cincinnati, Hillsborough and Par
kersburgh road was chartered and work
commenced. This road reached our
county near the corner of Scioto town
ship, came through Liberty, Lick and
Milton, and perhaps portion of Bloom
field. The grading and masonry were
nearly completed all through this coun-
ty some twenty-three years ago, when
the company failed, and the work was
abandoned
1t will be seen that our county came
near being well provided with means of
transportation. There are no navigable
streams in or near this county, with the
one exception that at some seasons a
small amount of iron has been taken
down Raccoon Creek. This made rail
roads a necessity.
The next effort to get another railroad
through the county was made some four
or five years ago, when a survey was
made for a road from Ironton to Colum-
bus. The most practicable route seemed
to be by way of Cambria Furnace, thence
down the Left Hand Fork, thence up
Dicks Creek, coming near Madison Fur
mace and on to Jackson, and then down
Salt Creek to Richmondale. When that
project failed, an effort was made to Sc
cure the Chesapeake and Ohio road
through the county. This was surveyed
on a number of different routes, and the
people of the county voted to tax them
selves one hundred thousand dollars to
aid in the construction of the road. The
law under which this vote was taken was
unconstitutional, and the panic of 1873
coming on, this project failed.
The next effort for railroads was the
Narrow Gauge movement, which culmi-
mated in the two roads now under con-
tract. One will come through Scioto,
Liberty, Lick and Milton, on the old
Hillsborough and Parkers
burgh route and will extend from Spring
field to Pomery. The other will extend
from Dayton to Gallipolis, and will pass
through townships of Washington, Mil
ton, Bloomfield, and perhaps Madison. in
this county. twill pass through Wells
on, but there ail be connecting link
between the roads, extending from Jack
ON to the other road, near Washington
Jhurch, in Washington township. !

BABCOCK.

The trial of Gen. Babcock, at ST. Louis,
came to an end last week. When the
jury retired they at once took vote,
and were unanimous for acquittal. And
yet the Cincinnati Commercial and Ga
zette are not happy. These papers con-
tinue their heavy editorials against the
accused. They can now pursue the
course once proposed by judge to cer-
tain lawyer. A criminal was tried by
the judge, and when the evidence was
all in the Judge mmenced to pass SEN
tence. The lawyer for the defense told
the judge to stop until he argued the
case. The judge remarked that he
would pass sentence first, and then the
lawyer might argue the case the balance
Of the day.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1876-03-02

The Cincinnati Commercial convicted
Babcock before his trial began. What is
the use of jury, when the country is
full Of such swift witnesses Mr.. Hal
stead's prejudices are insuperable, and
cause him to lend his influential. able
and widely circulated journal to oppres-
sion and injustice. For example, while
the lawyers were yet addressing the jury,
the Commercial of last Saturday remark
ed
1T is for the jury before which he is
on trial at st. Louis, to say whether he
is guilty as charged in the indictment.
But, however he may appear to the Pres
ident, public opinion has been formed
of him that questions his integrity"
Call you that giving a man fair trial
before his peers2 The Commercial has
large sale in ST. Louis, and is a power
full agent in fixing opinion.
The above is from the Circleville Union.
Nothing better could be expected from
the Commercial, but it is different with
the Gazette. 1t is generally fair paper,
but in the Babcock case it was, and is,
really more unfair than the Commercial.
1t had n correspondent in st. Louis who
was more malicious than the editor.
Even the head lines in the case were
unfair, insulting and mean.
