able one; but there are heard many ex

Hewitt, probably regretted his uneau
tious and puevile insinnation against the
New York Post Office, before they were
fairly uttered he can furnish no proc
that his supicions even, had any founda

effort at a graceful retreat.
Routine business before Congress
makes very slow progress, it being eyi

absorbs the cogitations Of most Of on
Representatives and Senator's.
The movement to overcome the sup
porters Of Mr. HAYES, by simultaneou:
mass conv6 ntions of the Democracy ir
the several States of The Union, must be
set down as d failure. The purposes q
such meetings have become so wei un'

Narrow Gauge r. r.

The proposition to build a Narrow
Gauge Railroad through Hillsboro,
to connect the narrow gauge roads
now in course of construction on the
East and West of our town, seems to
meet with almost universal favor
among our citizens. The meeting
held last Saturday night to consider
the project, was well attended by our
business men, and the expression of
the meeting was unanimous in favor
of the proposed enterprise. A COM
mittee of our leading citizens was ap
pointed to obtain all necessary infor-
nation as to distances, routes, cost
Of construction, &C., and report at an
adjourned meeting to be held at the
call of the committee.
Two routes are spoken of, both on
the East and on the West. One
route to the East is by the way OF
Bainbridge, to connect at that point
with the Springfield, jackson and
Pomeroy road Another route is by
Sinking Springs to Piketon, on the
the old road-bed of the Hillsboro &
Petersburg road. Both of these
routes are practicable, and will bave
strong advocates along the respect
i've lines.
To the West also there is choice
of routes. The road may either be
built by way of Fayetteville to Mil.
ford, and thence to Oakley, on the
M. & C. r. r., connecting there with
the Cincinnati Il Lebanon n. g., and
and going into the city on the track
of that road, having its depot at the
head of Broadway; or it may take a
more southerly direction from Hills
boro, and connect with the Cincinnati
& Batavia road at Sardinia or some
other point east of Williamsburg
Both these alternative routes viii
have Il cir warm advocates, and it re
mains to be seen which will be read,
to present the strongest inducements
and greatest advantages. But OF
one or tile other of the routes men
toned, it is very probable the roac
will be built, as it seems to be a ne
cessity to the interests of Hillsboro
as well as to the completion of tn
narrow gauge R. R. system of thi
part of the State.
