IN regarl to row which recently oc-
CURED In one Of our saloons, we omitted
TO make mention last week. Our object
In calling attention to IL now Is to pro-
nounce that cersure which ought always
to be forthcoming when officers Of the law
fail to do their duty In making arrests and
bringing offenders TO justice. No doubt
the proprietor Of the house did. and
would do all in his power to prevent a
row Of any kind; no doubt the partici-
pants-had they been sober--w would have
been orderly and quiet but for the sake Of
law and order, for the reputation Of Port
Townsend, and for the good OF all con-
cerned, not excepting the belligerent par
ties themselves, let such an occurance never
have to be spoken of again in the use Of
the time worn comment, "No arrests
were made" ..

CosgsMssnSeated.
Mr.. ED1roR.-The Corporation OF the
NO. & Wilmington narrow gauge railroad
having given notice that the books for sub
scriptions to the stock of said road Will Do
opened on the 10th in Wilmington ana
New Castle, It would be well for the c'ti'
gems of both places to be fully informed
regarding the proposition which has been
made by certain parties who propose to
build tho road, and when ready tor opera
tion, to lease It for term of twenty years,
agreeing to pay the company at tho rate OF
six per cent. interest per annum on the
whole cost of the road and its equipments,
(after the first year, payable semi,aunu'
ally, and also to keep the road and rolling
stock in proper repair, making additions to
the latter Is they may be required during
the term of the lease, and without cost to
the Compsay, guarsn 'eeing the said pay
ments of interest by giving good real estate
or other security, and such only as would
be entirely satisfactory to the President
and Directors. If the Company decide to
have the road built and equipped by con-
tract, they will compete with others in
that way and lease and operate as above
stated.
By careful estimate It has been ascer-
tained that the cost of grading, bridging,
track, necessary buildings, turn. tables, fenc-
ing, ETC., with two engines, two passenger
cars, and two or three dump cars, will not
exceed $4,000 to $4,000. This amount
should be raised without difficulty in the
two cities and intervening country If our
people would only exhibit the promptness
and liberality which the enterprise really
deserves.
There Is no question as to the road being
badly needed, and to be provided with an
hourly communication in comfortable cars,
making quick passage between the two
cities during all hours Of the day and even
ing, would be one of the greatest conve>
niences; and It might be we'll Just here TO
say to our business men that 1t is expected
(and there is little doubt that such will be
the case) that with an hourly opportunity
between New Castle and this city, many
persons will be drawn this way from Salem,
Smyrna, and other points on both sides OF
the Delaware river. And now is the time
of all others, while matarial and labor are
at the lowest point, to push 1t through, and
it is to be hoped that our citizens generally
will not let the opportunity pass by neglect
ing to come forward and subscribe to the
stock upon which good interest is offered
particularly as many families are now sul.
fering for the want of the necessaries o1
life, and many are walking our streets un-
able to obtain even days work to keer
starvation from their doors, Who could OBJ
tain employment and would be only toe
glad Of the chance to work on the road fol
the two or three months required to COM
plete it.
Don't wait to be called on, but come for
ward and help on the enterprise by sub
scribing what you can afford, and in thre,
months it will be ready for use.

SOMETHING UNExpLAINABLE.

The action of the Senate in reiusing 10
confirm Hon. c. W. Blair, or Fort Scott, Is
ont II tine regents of the State University,
viii, mo somewhat of a surprise 10 people IN
general. As it has been the custom to con-
firm the nomination of members Of the OPP
posjte side for such positions as regents oil
the State University and representation
imam the boards of charitable and other In
s.itu,ions of the State, this may be consid-
srcd as queer mode Of procedure, and
the surprise will be considerably heightened
and intensified when it is learned that the
great objection to Gen. Blair, in connection
with his being a Democrat, was tha' ne
wac a Catholic. Perhaps under certain cir
cumstances political distinctions may be
pardonable, but We beg TO differ with the
honorable gentlemen composing the Senate
of the State Of Kansas in regard to these
religious distinctions. 1t makes no differ
epce whether man is Catholic, Presby'
terrain, Methodist, or Mohammedan, and
these items regarding mans belief are o.
no consequence to Others. Gen. Blair IL
gentleman of large experience, is an ole
citizen of the State, is a good lawyer and
brilliant orator, and every way fitted Tor tn
position, and it is source OF regret that th'
Senate failed to make the confirmation.

CORRUPTION AND TREACHERY.

We fear our legislators are spending too
much of their time in the interest Of spe-
cial legislation and for local bills. They
have but little time now before their fifty
DAYS are gone, and next to nothing is done.
The railroad bill now before the House is
of great importance, but it is boldly and
plainly asserted that the monopolists have
the power and the means at command TO
defeat the viii Of the people. Special trains
are run to Topeka carrying lobbyists to in
fluence legislation. Let the people mark the
men who dare sell us out.
Let railroad companies comply with
their charters and their contracts, and LEI
laws be enacted to enforce compliance.
Notwithstanding the sweet words contained
in the Governors message, it is asserted
that he is opposing the proposed law, and
using official influence with Legislators &c
defeat the very measures which he indl'
Iectly recommended. Push the bill to 8
vote, and let the people see who are honest

Tax-Payers Meeting.

Yesterday afternoon large number of
the taxpayers of the county, assembled at
the court house, pursuant TO an adjourned
meeting two weeks ago, to receive the re-
port OF the committee they delegated 10
visit the Legislature for the purpose of
devising some means to alleviate, if not
obviate, the present oppressive rate of taxa
ton on bonds, some of which have been, it
is alleged, fraudulently issued.
The meeting was called to order by the
chairman, Hon. J. r. Bauserman, and in
the absence Of the secretary, Mr.. Z. II.
Grover, was selected to fill his place.
The minutes of the previous meeting were
read and adopted, and the report of the
committee was received verbally from Mr..
ID. n. Barnes, who stated that the work as
signed had been accomplished, making the
maximum amount TO be paid in the event
of compromise, 60 cents on the dollar.
The report, was after lengthy discussion
during which 2 substitute was presented by
Mr.. J. C. Douglass, adopted.
The substitute was afterward again pre-
sented as an independent resolution, but
the following resolution from Mr.. Grover
was substituted by uira uOce vote:
Resolred, That our Legislature be request
ed to SO amend the bill now pending in the
Legislature in relation to the collecting of
taxes, AZ to except from the operation of said
bill, property sold for Delinquent taxes, levi
ed for the payment of the principal or inter
est or both or any judgment growing out OF
such Railroad Bonds and as are now or have
heretofore been in dispute or are of doubt
full validity or of any judgement arising
therefrom. Adopted.
S,mediscussion then ensued, during which
much of personal nature transpired that
was not pertinent to the question at issue
The chairman, however, called the bellig-
erents to order, and Mr.. Drews moved that
the County Board be instructed to make no
levy to meet claims occurring from out
standing railroad bonds unless the bond
holders come forward and be the first to ask
for a compromise and a satisfactory COM
promise be effected. The motion was car
ried without dissenting vote.
Mr.. Orr then offered the following, which
was, after some discussion BY those who
we're present to retard the movement of the
meeting, adopted:
Resided, That the County Board be au-
thorized not to compromise for any of the
railroad bonds which are not decided to be
legal and valid alec not to compromise for
any bonds for more than fifty cents on the
dollar. And not to levy any tax for rail.
road bonds which are not brought in and
90 compromised.
The main idea Of the majority of the
meeting eeemed to be to &c! the County
Board to take action in the matter of the
tax leyies with the understanding that the
majority of the people would support them
by a two-thirds vote il necessary. On mo-
ton the proceedings were ordered to be pub
lished in The TINES, and the meeting was
adjourned sine die
