absorbing tonic OF conversation on e1-
change, and had marked effect on

strong bear feeling and a sharp selling
movement under which prices fell

It was reported that Garrett would be
here tomorrow and that conference
would be had with q view 70 fixing up

THE EXCURSIONISTS.
Favorably Impressed with
the Cleveland, Tuscara-
was Valley and
Wheeling Rail-
road.
SrEUBENv1LLE, April 2, 1877.


A party of about forty gentlemen, in
GLIDING representatives from all OF the
principal manufacturing establishments
of Wheeling, left Bridgeport this morn.
ing on an excursion of observation over
tho Cleveland, Tuscsrawas Valley and
Wheeling Railroad. We arrived at this
place on time, to find that the officers OF
the Panhandle Railroad had not acceded
to the request of the officers of the Tus-
csrswas Valley to allow the latter to run
special train down, over their road, to
Urichsvllle on the arrival of the party at
this point; we are, therefore, compelled to
remain here until 10 o'clock. Our party
has scattered out to investigate this city.
Some have gone to look at the msnufac-
turing establishments, and others are
calling upon friends and acquaintances
and hearing them discuss the probab:li-
ties of the election which is being held
here TO day.
By the way, the election for Mayor OF
the city Is proving quite an excitement.
The Republican candidate is man
named JOHN IRWIN, who, according to tt Q
Gazette, has heen guilty of some lapses
in his day; but he seems to be pretty
solidly supported by the. Republicans,
and is also earnestly supported by the
German paper, the Germania, which
paper supported the Democratic ticket
last fall. This paper yields its support
to the Radical candidate on
the ground that Mr.. SHoUsE, the
Democratic nominee, is temper
ance man. 1t makes the singular objec-
ton to him that, if elected, he would be
in honor bound 10 enforce the temper
ance laws of the State, which, by impli-
cation, his opponent, if elected: will not
do; yet learn the temperance Republi-
cans cling more tightly to their partizan
organization than,to their professions OF
temperance, and are energetically sup
porting the man who is apparently
pledged not to enforce the laws of the
city and OF the State. Of such is Radi-
osl;sno ,baravar found
CLEVELAND, April =.
Special to the Register.
The party of business men from
Wheeling and Bridgeport arrived here
at $50 o'clock. and are quartered at the
Weddel House. | believe it is the testi.
mony of all who heard the statement of
Supt. Card and other officers of the road,
at Wheeling, that they were quite mod
est in referring to tho condition of the
road and the resources of the country
through which 1t runs. The universal
expression of all is that the road is in ex-
cellent condition, the equipment good,
the harbor facilities at Black River ex-
trsordinsry, and the country through
which the road runs is rich in Goa, iron
ore and agricultural products.
We are to meet the President and
other officers at nine o'clock tomorrow
morning.

place in New York on Saturday, in refer
ence to freight rates east and west, the
following is furnished for publications:

sylvanla Central Railroad Companies in
opposition to the Baltimore and Ohio
Company, the following dispatch frsm
President Scott is published:
PHILADELPHIA, April 2, 1877.
To j. w. Garrett, President of B. & 0. r.
r., Baltimore:
l notice in some of he.papers state
ment that the two New York lines and
the Pennsylvania road had entered into
combination on Saturday offensive and
defensive against your road, all of which
you have the best reasons for knowing is
of course without any foundation what
ever.
[SignedI THos. a. SCOTT
President.
President Garrett states that all the
allegations of bad faith against the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad are equally with
out foundation, and that this company
can clearly demonstrate that its action has
throughout and under the agreement of
December been just and proper; that the
Baltimore and Ohio Company has been,
and continues to be not only willing, but
earnestly desirous to advance rates to
remunerative standard, and to arrange
and maintain all tariffs on perfectly
Just and equitable principles, such as
will without doubt meet with general
approval. 1t Is understood that Mr..
Garrett left for New York this evening.
