An EcOuraging OutlOOlx-ThC
Western North Carolina
RniIrOnd

We are glad to lear. through Mr..
James II. Rumbough, of Warm
Springs, that the Western North
Carolina Railroad is now progressing
with more certainty of an early com
pletion than at any time within the
past twenty-five years Of its history,
President Wilson has brought an en-
CINE on this side of the Blue Ridge,
having adopted the plan long sug.
gested by the friends of the road on
the Ashville side, to come on with
the construction of the track while
the heavy work in the tunnels il be-
ing completed, putting up temporary
trestle work to be filled ia after the
roadway shall have been passable for
trains in this way the more speedily
opening the road to Ashvile. for traf-
tic, and affOrding better facilities for
the thorough con pletion OF the work
through the Blue Ridge section.
Ia the main tunnel the shaft has
been reached, and there are not now
more than six hundred of the nine
teen hundred feet in length to be
moved before the tunnel is through.
Diamond drills are now at work, and
such other improvements adopted in
the moving of stone and earth as fa-
cilitates the work of five and six feet
into the mountain, where the progress
was before one foot and less per day.
1t is now confidently believed that
the road will reach Ashevlle next
year by autumn, and that for freight
and passenger traffic be near enough
to that place next summer to afford a
practical connection Herewith,
At this rate of progress the Western
North Carolina railroad will come in
ahead of the Spsrtanburg and Ash
vile, thus securing the fifteen or SIX
teen miles of work already done along
the French Broad between Ashville
and Warm Springs. We may, there.
fore, confidently look for the long
sought connection with the North
Carolina system, at Wolf Creek, dur.

Are Greenbackers Innationists ?

The indianapolis platform, hich
we have published SO often, is now
universally accepted as the platform
Of the National or Greeuback par
ty, The second section reads as fol-
lows:
I'VE believe that the United States
notes Issued directly by the cavern
ment and convertible on demand into
United States Obligations, bearing an
EQUITABLE rate of interest, mot cX-
ceediug one cent a day on each one
hundred dollars, and interchangeable
with United States notes at par, will
afford the beet circulating medium
ever devised such United States notes
should be fun legal tender for all
purposes, except for the payment of
such obligations as are by existing
contracts expressly made payable in
coin. And we hold that il IL the duty
of the government To provide sHch n
circulating medium, and we Insist, in
the language OF Thomas jefferson,
"that bank paper must be suppressed
and the circulation restored to the ma
ton, 10 whon1 it belongs"
That ia the Crsenback party holds
as the FIRST pIiucip Pile of its beli.f, not
that more greenbacks should be is
sued. but simply that all that are is-
sued shall lie made interchangeable
with an interest bearing bond. Now,
some opponents Of this platform urge,
as the principal objection to it, that
our green backs would thereby be con-
verted into ain Understanding bond,
aud the interest annually paid by the
government thereby increased. IF
their objection is well-founded, such n
measure would not be. imitation, but
contraction.
The tireenbackers simply hold that
the interchangeable bond would give
exactly the amount of money required
to carry on the business Of the coun-
try, and that if there should be more
greenbacks out than are required Tor
the uses of business, they would cerS5
taiuly be converted into bonds, but
not otherwise that this system leaves
the currency. not at the mercy Of Con-
gressional guess-work, but in n posi-
ton in which ii must at all times reg
late itself with mathematical accura-
cy.
Now, as to who are the infationists
John Sherman and his cOnfreres
favored openly a system permitting
the national banks to disposit bonds
and issEe additional circulation, at
will, that Is, a national bank may buy
a million dollars worth of bonds, de-
post them at Washington, and re-
ceive nine hundred thousand dollars
in hank notes. They can buy more
bonds and obtain more bank notes. -
II such operations do hot constitute
initiation we should like to know what

TUESDAY, DECEMBER u, 1877.
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.

BPBA hGS OE AAAE "OO5EIs
In the caucus last Tuesday
night, at the Capitol, Judge Henry
G. Allen, of Shenandoah, was
nominated. The following extract
Is taken from the WING of the 9Th:
"Mr. 1. G. Fowler then nominated
for the position of Speaker, Judge
Henry &. Allen, of Shenandoah. In
doing SO he put Judge Allen forward
as the exponent of readjustment. He
said that the eyes of the people of the
Commonwealth were upon them, and
demanded that the question of the
public debt he settled. He spoke
warmly Of Judge Aliens ability and
his qualification for the position -
There was no man more capable for
the position of the defender of the
rights of the people than he. He
was a gentleman crowned with many
virtues. The speaker said in putting
forward Judge Allen he had no local
Interests to serve in this matter. The
Southwest had no candidate for the
position, but they wanted man who
was ripe and sound on the debt ques-
ton, Such man was Judge Allen. "
The House assembled at II m.
on Wednesday, and Judge Allen
was almost unanimously elected,
only two votes being cast in the
negative, -Messrs. Peter j. Carter
and Ross Hamilton, who voted for
Mr.. Hanger.

MQllie MaSniras Discharged

Last Monday morning at Pottsville, Judge
Green discharged Muff Lawlor, John Slattery
and Charles Mulhern, three of the Molle
Maguires who turned states evidence during
the late trials.
The above trio have been patiently waiting
for the past six months for their freedom, and
left the town on the first train in very jublant
spirits. Each one entered in $1,000 on his
own recognizance. Lawlor was arrested and
found guilty as an accessory after the fact to
the killing of Sanger and Uren. He turned
states evidence and corroborated M Paran,
the detective, very str ongly, against Thomas
Munley, one of the murderers who expated
his crime upon the gallows on the 2lst of last
month.
Mulhern and slattery were arrested and
tried for conspiring to kill William and Jesse
Major, of Mahanoy city, Mulhern pleaded
guilty in both, turned states evidence, which
convicted Michael Doolan of the same ch arge
Doolan was sentenced to one years imprison-
ment. Doolan has been incarcerated for the
past ten months awaiting sentence.
Mulhern in his evidence gave information
which led to the arrest of "Yellow Jack"
Donahue, for the murder of Morgan Powell a
boss at Summit Hill, for which crime he was
hung at Mauch Chunk.
Mulhern was one of the most important wit
nesses the commonwealth had during the
progress Of the Mollie Mcguire trials, and
gave valuable information, which led to the
conviction of several murderers-

BUREAU OF STATISTICS,

We are indebted to w. Hayes Grier, Chief
of the Bureau of Statistics, for a copy of his
last Report. 1t is about the size of an agri-
cultural Report, and as valuable. The
Ledger expresses our opinion when it says
Industrial Statistics of the State of Penn
sylvania have been collected by w. Hayes
Grier, Chief of the Bureau of Industrial
Statistics, and published as the third volume
of the Report of the Secretary of Internal
Affairs. The Report differs in many essen
tial characteristics from the usual tabulated
reports from similar departments, and con-
sists to great extent, of compilations from
ephemeral publications, which may or may
not be worthy Of preservation in book form.
There are few ESSAYS on Commerce, the
Social Condition of Working Men, Crime
and Its Causes, and similar subjects, and ex-
tracts from various reports showing the con-
dtion of National Banks in the State and
of insurance companies. The bulk of the
volume is taken up with particular reports
from what are supposed to be typical repre-
sentatives of classified industries in the diff
erent counties, in which reports the owner of
the works describes his establishment and
tells the value of his products, number of
hands employed, wages paid, &c. Anony-
nous working men in the several counties
send statements of the amount of wages they
receive, the number of persons in their fam
lilies, the disposition they make of their mon
ey, &C., &C., and the railroad and iron COM
panies also furnish tables showing the num-
Der of workmen employed in different de-
partments, and the wages paid them. These
reports are not tabulated or otherwise di-
gested-all work of that sort is left for the
reader to do himself if he desires to get any
real substantial information of the Social
condition" of the working men of the State.
At the end of the report proper is published
a mass of undigested information about the
Centennial Exhibition, msde up of speech
es, circulars, descriptions of buildings taken
from official catalogue, clippings from news
papers, and lists of officers, clerks, &C., and
of Pennsylvanians to whom awards were
granted. The volume no doubt contains
much information of value, and may prove
of some use as book of reference, but it is
not such a report on the industries of Penn,
sylvania as the magnitude and importance
of those industries demand.
