Railroad Meeting at Parkers-
burg,

A large and enthusiastic meeting
of the citizens interested in the con-
struction Of the proposed railroad be-
tween this city and Parkersburg
was held on the oath ult., in the
last named city. Hon. w. n. Chan
cellor presided over the meeting, and
introduced the following gentlemen
who addressed it: Col. Benz. Smith,
L. A. Martin and Col. j. S. Cunning
ham, of Kanawha; Judge R, s.. Brown
and Col F. R. Hassler, of Jackson;
Ex-Governor Stevenson and Judge
Geo. Loomis, Of Wood; G. w, Akin
son, Esq, editor of the Wheeling
Standard and Richard Burke, ESQ.,
of Monroe.
Col. Smith SAID the proposed road
was needed to fraternize and blend
the people of the two sections of the
State who are now comparative
strangers, 1t will tend to develop
the Interests of the whole State.
Tie State, through its lawmaking
power, ought to extend material aid
to it. The people of Kanawha, he
said, was IL unit on the question, and
was enthusiastic in favor Of the road.
Col. Cunningham gave the audi
euco some interesting statistics in
reference to narrow gauge railroads
in the United States. He thought
this road could be built for $4,000
per mile, including everything, max
ing a total cost of 81, 100000; that if
Wood would subscribe. 100000 of
stock, Jackson 100000, Kanawha
100000, Writ 100000 and Roane
100000, the amount would be rails
ed. He, for one, would do all he
could in his county for the road.
Mr.. Martin thought the entire peo'
pie along the proposed line were
alive to the Importance ofthis move
ment: that it was of more impor-
lance to business interests of either
Petersburg or Charleston than a
dozen State Capitals.
Judge r. 5. Brown, was hearuly
in favor of the enterprise, This, he
said, is young State with great I'M
developed resources. We want rail.
roads and other things to develop
our resources, We should tax our.
selves heartily and willingly to build

road. He did not believe that the
cost of the road would exceed sl2,-

road, he thought there was no doubt
about It's paying; that itwould large

would speak loud and heartily for it,

counties lying contiguous to the line;
but the entire State is interested in

metals in Circulation in ibsir appIo-
pirate spheres of common use. an
absolute equality Of commercial val
ne, free from dist0sbing fluctuations
is hardly attainablef and without II
an unlimited Iegal-tender for private
transactions assigned to both metals
would IRRESISTIBLE tend to drive ont
of circulation tile dearer coinage and
disappoint the principal object pro-
posed by the legislation in view l
apprehend, Therefore, that the two
conditions Of a near approach to
equality ofcommercial value between
the gold and silver coinage Of the
same denomination, and of a limlLa-
ton Of the amount for which the
silver coinageis to be a legal-tender
are essential to maintaining both IN
circulation. If these conditions can
be successfully observed, the issue
from the mint of silver dollars would
afford material assistance to the
community in thetransition to e.
deemable paper money, and would
facilitate tie resumption Of specie
payment and its permanent estab-
tishment. Without these conditions
l fear that only mischief and nisfor-
tune would fow from a coinage Of
silver dollatt with the quality Of un-
I Iinf1ted- fegal.t der evcrf iisFi ,-isHt''
transactions.
Any expectations of temporary
ease from an issue of silver coinage
to pass as legal-tender at materi.
al above its commercial value is, |
am persuaded, a delusion. Nor can
| think that there is any substantial
distinction between an original issue
of silver dollars at nominal value
materially above their commercial
value and the restoration of the sill
yer dollar at a rate once was, but has
ceased to be, its commercial value
Certainly the issue of gold coinage,
reduced in weight materially below
its legal-tender value would not be
any the less a present debasement OF
the coinage, BY reason Of its equal
ling or even exceeding in weight q
gold coinage which, ut some past
time, had been commercially equal
to the legal-tender value assigned to
the new issue.
l recommend that regulation Of
any silver coinage which may be au-
thorized by Congress should observe
the condition of commercial value
and limited legal,tender, | am gov
erned by the feeling that every pos
sible increase should be given to the
volume of metallic money which
can be kept in circulation, and there
by every possible aid afforded to the
people in the process of resuming
specie.payments, 1t is because OF
my firm conviction that Il disregard
of these conditions would Illustrate
the good results which are desired
from the proposed coinage, ana EN-
barrass with new elements of confu-
sion and uncertainty the business OF
the country, that l urge upon your
attention these considerations
respectfully recommend to Con-
.gress that in legislation providing
for silver coinage, and imparting
to il. the quality Of legal'tender,
there be impressed upon tho meas
ure firm provision exempting the
public debt heretofore issued and
now outstanding from payment, eli.
