THE Ohio Senate on Friday last, by
o unanimous vote, adopted Ransom s
resolution in favor of remonetizing
silver. There is no question that the
people, almost .unani mously, are in
favor of restoring the "dollar of the
fathers" as are the members of the
Ohio Senate. The act by which gold
alone was made the. standard, and the
people compelled to pay all debts both
public and private, which had been
created upon greenback basis, in
gold, or upon the gold standard. was
one of the most stupendous pieces of
robbery ever perpetrated in this coun-
try. Much of the present financial
distress is attributable to that act, bu /
it will be impossible to make Hayes,
Sherman, Garfield 81 Co.. hear and
heed this demand of the people. They
will continue TO clamor for the imme-
diate resumption of specie payments,
and to compel the producing and debt
or classes to pay their debts upon the
gold basis. They will labor earnestly
for the funding of the non-interest
bearing bonds of the government, thus
Withdrawing them from circulation as
currency and adding largely to the
burthens of the people. In the coming
contest in this Slate the voice of the
people should be mos emphatically
pronounced against the oppressors.

Facts tn be Remembered.

Twent ty-three States have Demo-
cratic Governors. There is Demo
cratic majority in the House. The
Senate is nearly equally divided, and
in two years will be controlled by the
Democrats. There is white majori-
ty of more than a million Democrats
in the United States, and an absolute
majority OF quarter of a million. a
Republican who was not elected Pres
ident, holds The office through fraud.
A hundred thousand Republicans hold
the minor Federal offices through the
same fraud. This is the political sitn-
alton in a nutshell, and it is well 10

HAYES claims that his presentSouth.
ern policy is perfectly consistent with
that announced by him when running
for Governor, in 1875, and in his let
ter of acceptance. 1t is strange that
such men as bluff old Ben. Wade
saonld have been so grossly deceived
and likewise sucked in.' Ben says he
has been deceived, betrayed and even

when he is humiliated it is time for

teresting little son of Mr.. Thomas w.
Johns, in company with young
brother, driving some horses from the

which suddenly turned and kicked
him on the back part OF the Uranium,

but DIR. Feister, of Newton Falls, be-

little sufferer has SO far recovered as to
walk with very little assistance, and

The Ogdensburg Railroad.

GEN. ANDERSON's ACCOUNT OF THE LIT
IGATION IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
The following communication appears
in the Concord Monitor:
MEssRs. EDITORS, -Thanking you for
the privilege you have granted me, of
communicating with the people of this
state through the medium of your Jour-
nal, will ask you to insert the follow
ing hasty sketch of the Portland & Og-
densburg railroad. The corporation is
poor, embarrassed, and cannot, if it
would, control the appliances sometimes
put in operation by rich and indepen-
dent corporations; but it asks justice
and fair play. If it has been mistaken
in regard to what it supposed was its
legal rights, it asks the Legislature to
pardon its error and interpOse it's au-
therity to prevent hostile interests from
sacrificing a great national thorough
fare, that will soon connect the waters
of the great lakes with the ocean at
Portland, Portsmouth and Boston.
Ia 1867, the New Hampshire Legis-
lature chartered the Portland, White
Mountains and Ogdensburg Railroad
Company, authorizing it to locate its
road through the Notch, and thence to
the Connecticut river by the route it
might select, subject only to the ap-
prevail of the Railroad Commissioners.
The Legislature of Maine, the same
year, chartered the Portland & Ogdens-
burg Railroad Company. The latter
corporation proceeded to raise money
and build its road. The New Hamp-
shire CORPORATION did nothing. In 1869
some of the directors of the latter road
proposed to surrender their charter and
let the Maine corporation raise the
money andIbuild through New Hamp-
shire, if it could. A petition was ac-
cordingly presented to the New Hamp-
shire Legislature asking it to authorize
the Maine corporation to prOlong its
road through the state. At the same
session of the Legislature, the Boston,
Concord & Montreal Railroad Compa-
ny asked for a charter to build road
up the AmmonOosuc Valley over the
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1877-06-22

identical ground already covered by the
charter of the Portland, White Noun
tains & Ogdensburg Railroad Company.
The former corporation had money,
lawyers, lobby and friends. The lat
ter company was poor and stranger.
The Portland and Ogdensburg Rail
road was opposed to giving up its rights
to the Boston, Concord and Montreal,
yet in order to avoid contest in the
House, a compromise was entered into
between the friends of the two roads,
by which both were to be built on the
same road bed, wherever the valley of
the AmmOnOosuc was so narrow as to
preclude the possibility of more than a
single location, it being then claimed by
those best acquainted with the two
routes that the cost of building and the
grades were such, by the Littleton
route, that the Portland and Ogdens-
burg would never build farther down
the river than the Twin Mountain
House. But in order to leave it open
for the company to make full and
careful survey and to satisfy all parties,
the act was framed so as to make the
corporation the judges of the practical
bility of the Littleton route, the Ian
guage of the act being-''in case the
corporation find it impracticable to To-
cate and build" &c-nOt the Railroad
Commissioners or the courts of the
state, or the town of Littleton, or the
Boston, Concord and Montreal Railroad
Company, but "said corporation" that
is, the Portland and Ogdensburg Rail
road Company.
The company then employed an ex-
perienced engineer, who made careful
examination of the several rOutes-the
grades, the curvature, cost of cOnstruc-
ton, etc, and in long and exhaustive
report, giving the facts and reasons for
his Judgement, pronounced the Little
ton route impracticabLe not impossible:
for it is possible to build road to the
top of Mount Washington or through
the Notch. But giving reasonable in
depreciation to the word, as it would be
held by any business man when applied
to affairs, and comparing the LittletOG
with the Dalton route, he reported it
impraeticable. The ''said corporation
then made their location by way of
Whitefield and Dalton, and in Septem-
Der, 1875, commenced to build the two
and-a-half miles of said route from
DOObi III luC Cl
line.
The towns of LittletOn and Bethlehem
then procured an injunction, and stop
ped the work with Il loss to the compa-
ny of several thousand dollars. A hear
ing was had, aud after two days thus
spent, the attorneys of the towns pro-
posed compromise, which ended in
the railroad company's paying some
$4,000 and agreeing to certain other
demands, when the actions were drop
ped, only to be commenced again us
soon as work was resumed. Those pro-
ceedings are now pending before the
Supreme Court, pressed by the Attorney
General of the state, and if successful,
will result in an order of the court to
remove the bridges across the Connec-
ticut and Johns rivers, take up the
rails and destroy a piece of road that
cost the company some SS0,000. 1t
will also break the connection between
the lines in Vermont and New Hamp-
shire.
Is this just? IS it fairP Is it the
usual courtesy of one state toward
anOtherP
Respectfully, SAM. j. ANDERSON.
