the largest and most important iron
works in tho country, and a number Of
other gentlemen who have interests along
the route or at the terminus OF the pro-
jected line. A special dispatch to the
Wheeling lNTELLlGENCER, from the rep
resentatiye Of that paper accompanying
the party, reports Mr.. Woodward AZ
saying Monday night that Wheeling
could "better afford to lose an investment
Of $50,0O0in it, out and out, rather than
not get the road"
Whilst the question Of extending the
line to the Ohio river rests with Wheel.
ing, the matter ia one OF no little import
ance to Cleveland. The completion Of
the projected line will give to Cleveland
a new and direct route TO the capital Of
West Virginia. 1t will be the interest Of
the line to make the connection between
the two cities as intimate and friendly as
possible, there being no other city to
draw off the trade in another direction.
Wheeling does an immense business in
the manufacture Of iron, nails, and glass.
1t supplies half the entire consumption Of
nails in the United States, and in
other descriptions OF iron manu-.
factute and glass, its trade is very
great. There is no reason why Cleve-
land, with the direct facilities that
will bo afforded by the opening Of the
new line, should not secure for itself the
distribution Of 30 much OF that trade as
comes 10 the lake. 1t Is true the line has
a terminus at Black River as well as at
Cleveland, but for all practical purposes
Black River can be made and in fact is
a Cleveland shipping port. Cleveland

the sheriff to give notice Of the gene
raj election, and in the advertisement
he shall 1st, enumerato the officers to
I've elected; ID, designate the place
where the election is to be held, &c.
The error in the notice given by the
sheriff as to the place where the elec-
tion was to be held, could not change
the place fixed by law, and can not
therefore affect the question raised in
this case.
If no place for the election had been
designated by the authorities whose
duty it is TO appoint the same, and the
citizens, whose right to vote is guar
sntScd by the constitution had attend
cd and voted for necessary county and
State officers ht a time and place fixed
by the sheriff's proclamation, differ
ent question would be presented.
We car not distinguish the present
case from MeliOn's appeal, and by the
rules Of law there announced, we are
compelled to the conclusion that under
the evidence taken, specification No.
13, in the answer Of Samuel II. Haslet,
the defendant, is sustained, and that
the election i'll said township for Mem.
Der of the Legislature was wholly lille
gal and void, and is therefore rejected
from the count.
The rejection Of the vote Of Barnett
township renders it unnecessary to
consider the other issues raised by the
complaint and answer, ns their decis-
ion would not alter the result. This
was conceded in the argument by the
counsel for the respective parties.
Our conclusion Of law from the
facts in evidence, is, that Samuel H.
Haslet, the defendant, received the
greater number of legal votes, and i:
entitled to the certificate Of election.
