HICKORY, n. c., Feb. 7.
DEAR JOURNAL:-After years of talk
about the Lncolnton and Hickory
Railroad connection, or branch of the
G. G. Railway, the project seems at
last to haye assumed n material shape.
In pursuance of an act of tue Assembly
passed for the purpose, the voters Of
he town of Hickory decided last Sat-
urday, the 55h inst, to tax the town to
aid IA building said connection. Out
OF a registered list of about one hun
dred and forty voters, one hundred and
five voted for the tax and only one
against it. This shows the feeling of
our people on this important project,
and if a similar interest is felt by
Linconton, Charlotte, Wilmington
and the @. G. Railway there is no rea-
son why we should not have the con-
nection completed and trains passing
over it within the Tresent year.
Our people have long desired dl-
rect communication with our most in
portant commercial sea port town, and
this connection with the Carolina Cen
tral railway will secure it by the short
est possible route.
1t is useless to reproduce the many
natural advantages this direct line
would be to both sections of the State.
1t is to De hoped that all the parties
interested will proceed at once to the
work
Let US WI rk together and connect
our people East and West by an iron
link which viii make US feel more like
our people. Yours, M.

n1its to be used to affect the marshal
who is to summon the jurors, to affect
the Jurors who are 10 pass upon the
facts, to affcet the Judge who is to
declare the law and to affect the prose-
cutting officers wno are to present the
testimony. There was but one tLing
D' ore that could be done and now that
has been done. An effort is now being
madeato tamper with the witnesses as
will plainly appear from the following
letter from the Attorney General:
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
WAsHINGTON, Jan. 26, 1876. {
Hon. ID. P. DYER, United States Dis.
tr1ct Attorney, st. Louis, Mo:
SIR-My attention has been calleu
to a number of newspapers, stating
that there would be no further prose
cutlon against many guilty persons
who confessed th ir crimes in s..
Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee. + can
not believe this to be true; but as the
assertion has been made that so many
guilty persons are to remain IN punish
ed L have Tor rwarded letter to each of
these cities to inform each District At
torney of the fact
know that many rumors find Gre
dence Ill the Sc times of excitement. and
trust that your sound judgment will
prevent any wrong, and anything that
might look like favor]ng or protecting
men who have defrauded the governs
mant. 1t is the repeatedly expressed
wish of the President that no puiItv
man should escape. ] am not aware
that any of the officials charged with
the execution OF tue laws contemplate
to favor or protect auy OF the accused.
and even the appearance OF any such
favor ble treatment should be care
fully avoided.
L write this as a matter of caution,
for 1 am determined to have these
prosecutions SO conducted that. when
they are over, the honest Judgment of
the honest men of the country. which
generally never fails to hit the right.
Will be that no one has been ma!iciouslv
prosecuted; that no one has escaped
through fayorltlsm Cr partially, and
that no guilty Lerson who has either
been conv1c' ea or who has confessed
his guilt was lie t unpunIshed.
EDWARDS PlERREpoNT,
Attorney General.
That the true intent of the above
letter was not to give warning to all
who might contemplate turning States
evidence that they had better keep
their mouths shut, can scarcely be
doubted. And when it is remembered
that 1t was upon the testimony of their
accomplices that Mcdonald, Joyce,
Avery and Mckee were convicted, it
will be seen what an important bear
ing this letter of the Attorney General
Is likely to have in .Babcock's case. 1t is
true that these accomplices have hith-
erto been corroborated in their testi-
mony; but that matters not, for with
out them there would have been no
testimony to corroborate, and, of
course, no convictions. All things
considered, then, Babcock's conviction
will be little short of miracle. We
shall see what we shall see.

The Case Of wiuslOw,

The British Government has taken a
strange position in relation to the extraIi.
ton Of Winslow, the Boston forger, bu,
claims that it is in accordance with the 10th
article of the Ashburton treaty with this
country, and with the Act of Parliament
of 1870, 1t claims that Winslow shall
be tried for no other crime than that for
which he is extradited, and that pledge
to that effect shall be given BY the United
States Government. To this Mr. Fish,
our Secretary of State, has given a fat
refusal. The indictments for which the
extradition Of Winslow is asked are seven
in number. By the laws of Great Britain
q criminal who is committed for extradi-
ton must be held 20 days, in order that
any irregularities in the proceedings may
be discovered. After the expiration ofthis
time he is held 60 days; and if not sur
rendered within that time may then be
released on writ of habcas corpus. OF
this last period thirty or forty DAYS
have now expired, but sufficient time
remains for the British Government
fully to determine what action il will take
on the subject. Mr.. Fish in his note, in
forms Mr.. Hoffman, our charge d'affaires
III London, that the United States caI1hot
yield in any respect on this matter; that
this Government considers the refusal to
return Winslow without conditions as an
abrogation Of the tentliarticle of the Trea-
~ OF 1912; aud that should refusal be
persisted in the President win hereafter
refuse to surrender any person arrested in
this country and accused of having com
mitted crime in the British dominions.

The State VS.. the Baltimore & Ohio Rail- Dad

The Howard County Court on Monday
last rendered judgment for the State against
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in seven
cases, covering the one-ffth of the entire
gross receipts for passenger fares over the
Washington Branch road from January /
1870, to July l, 1875 The total amount
for which Judgment was rendered was
sS2S, 1854. An appeal will be taken to
the Court Of Appeals, and if the decision
Of that tribunal should be adverse to the
Company, to the Supreme Court also.
The Company bases its defence on three
points which were not raised in the pre-.
yious cases, but which are now regarded
BY the Company as sufficiently weighiy as
to suggest the probability of decision in
its favor by the Courts Of last resort. The
State has had the advantage of being re.
presented BY very eminent legal ability.
and this last Judgment, together with the
amount already collected, will make an ag-
gresate Of over one and quarter millions
Of dollars recovered from the Company.
