and west of HilIsboro the road will
be built, has not yet been decided,
but the decision rests with the cor
porators, who have been selected
from among the leading business
men of our town, and in whose dis
cretion and sound judgment the peO-
pie have entire confidence. It will
soon be seen on which of the several
proposed routes the money required
to build the road can be raised in
the shortest time, and the friends of
each route will no dou5t be up and
doing.
Meantime our citizens should weigh
well and carefully the important
question, how much stock they can
afford to subscribe, rather than let
HjHs5Oro lose the road, and be ready
when the books are opened to put
down such figures as will show both
their ability and ,oWingnesS to do
their full share towards pushing for
ward the enterprise.

Eox HuntingIn Concord Up

A circular fox hunt was advertised to take place
on March 2zd, and the lines were promptly formed
at 9 O'Clock in the morning, and the hunt COM
menccd but owing TO mtsmanagement, the foxes,
which were no less than seven in number, all es-
capped.
Another day, March 29th, was set for another
hunt, and promptly at o'clock, this whole town
ship was aroused by the cheering Of the people.
They turned out en- masse, old and young, male and
female The ladies took sn active part, and should
receive great praise for their perseverance and de-
termination, and the courage they exhibited in the
chase
Toward noon the lines were approaching the
center, and now an enormous fox made its appear
ance and commenced desperate attempts to break
through the lines, but Mr.. Reynard was kept back
and completely surrounded, and in spite of all his
efforts to escape, he was finally captured.
Such cheering has not been heard in this section
for long time. This plan Of catching foxes is te
best way to get rid of these pests. It can be done
most eTectuaIly, and with great amusement to the
people W.CM.

The Proposed New School
Law.
ipecial Telegram to the Commercial.

Especial Telegram to the Commercial.
COLUMBUS, April 4-The Senate to-
day gave along discussion to the Edu-
cational Bill introducedat the last ses-
sion by Mr.. Ransom, and approved by
many leading educators. 1t proposes
a complete revision of the laws regu-
lating and governing public schools,
the changes, however, relating chiefly
to the correction of errors in the
country school system, so much
commented upon in the annual re-
port of School Commissioner Smart.
The following is a resume of the pro
posed changes:
1t codifes the existing school laws,
and amends the same by reducing
the maximum levy for school pur-
poses from seven to six mills; byre-
! ducing country district committees
from membership of three to one ;
by making the district committee
men of each township a Township
Board of Education, and putting all
the district schools of each township
under the charge of the Township
Boards thus formed it provides a
county committee, made up of one
member from each Township Board,
elected by the several Township
Boards, and makes it the duty of the
county committee to employ a cOun-
ty school superintendent, fix his sal
ary and provide the rules under
which he shall act the county su
perintendents of each of the three
adjoining counties, with one excep
ton Of four counties, are constituted
a Board of County Examiners; the
duty of conducting county institutes,
of taking the school examinations,
and of the examination of teachers,
is devolved upon the County Super
intendents.
The cost of these matters aggre-
gated, last year, $4,000, which it
is claimed will pay the entire addi-
tional cost of County Superinten.
dents. The bill does not affect the
schools in cities and villages. Only
two Senators, Messrs. Miller and
Monahan, voted to so amend the
bill as to limit free education to the
three Rs and grammar and geog.
raphy. Notwithstanding the many
points of advantage to the school
system claimed for the bill its pas Rge
is doubtful, for the reason that Dem
ocratic statesmen who acknowledge
its advantages stand back to let the
Republican majority take the re
sponsibility of pressing it while they
prepare for a campaign cry that the
rascalIy Republicans have created
eighty eight new offices, meaning, o.
course, the provision for County Su
perintendents, which the bill pro
poses to make in effect self-sustain
ing.
On the other hand, some of tho
Republicans are shy of passing tn,
bill by a party vote, and express
| sense of contentment with the law a
it stands, with its forty thousand
and odd of inefficient officers of al
grades.

According to a Washington cor
respondent, President Hayes is 60

cy of reconciliation from a source as
powerful as it probably is unsuspect-
ed. One telegraphs: what is es-
pecially noteworthy in Keys CORES
pondence is the amount of letters he
receives from Southern women, ad-
vising him to leave TIE Democratic
party, and saying that tits powerless
to do the South any good. One fair
correspondent calls Hayes "a streak
Of Providence" If his policy sue
ceeds, no influence viii have operated
more in its favor than this which is
here referred to. The sympathies Of
the women of the South were all,
before the breaking out Of the war,
with the secessionists, and historians
have not hesitated to ascribe much
of the popular strength which the
cause had to this support. If the
feeling of the women is now enlisted
in behalf of President Hayes, he has

The women of the South are all poll

women display in conversing of the

Columbus & MaysyiIIe R. R.

~ " teAttlAe ~ . - W q = uaalC ~ ~
A large and enthusiastic railroad
meeting was held here last night in
the interest of the Columbus &
Maysville Narrow Gauge Railroad.
The following resolutions were unan
imously adopted:
"Whereas, There would be a con
fict of interests in the incorporation
of through line from Columbus to
Ripley, and as harmony is a necessi-
ty in the welfare of all enterprises,
especially in the construction of rail
roads, therefore,
Resolved, That Major John Byrne
and others, in the interests of the
Cincinnati & Eastern Railway, be
requested to incorporate a line of
railway from Washington c. H. to
Ripley, via Hillsboro and George
town.
''ResoIved, That the Board of In
corporators of the Washington &
Columbus Railway be requested to
proceed to solicit subscriptions and
right of way on their line via Mount
Sterling Immediately.
Resolved, That the Board of In
corporators of the Washington &
Columbus Railway be and are here
by requested to call a meeting at the
town of Mt. Sterling on Thursday
morning, April 18th, in the interests
of said line.
'Resolved, That W. H. Wads
worth, John T. Fleming, John NJ.
Duke, Thos. N Greene, and Judge
Stanton, of Maysville, and - Ses-
sions, of Columbus, be invited to
attend that meeting.
Moved and carried that Maj G..
Baird and D. Dixon, of Ripley, be
added to our committee, and that
the committee are hereby requested
to attend said meeting.
S. F. ROCK,
Secretary of Committee.
It will be seen by the above, which
we copy from the Washington G. H.
correspondence of the Cincinnati
Gazette, that the movement for a
railroad from Columbus to Mays
vile, which was started several years
ago, but then abandoned, is now be
| ing revived with considerable earnest
ness. Ripley and Georgetown age
both exceedingly anxious 70 get g
railroad connection with Cincinnati
and will contribute literally, to build
a road from the river to Sardinia OF
Mt. Oreb, on the Cincinnati & East
ern N. G. R. R. This will give then
an outlet to Cincinnati over. that
road, and at the same time form 6
link in the proposed line from Mays
vile to Co'umbus.
If the road is built from Ripley tc
Sardinia or Mt. Oreb, it will be t.
the interests of the whole country
south of those places to aid in ex
tending it still farther north to Hills
boro, in order to reach the Goa
fields via the proposed road east 0
this place to Bainbridge and Jack
son. This would leave only a gap
of about 25 miles from Hillsboro tC
Washington G. H, and from tina
point to Columbus q charter has al
ready been obtained for a marrow
gauge road. It is tolcrably certain
that Columbus Will also take a deeI
interest in this project, as her enter
Prising manufacturers desire to reacl
the Southern market by a nearer
and more direct route than through
her great rival, Cincinnati. Alto
gether the proposed Columbus anC
MaysvilIe R. R. via Hillsboro, ha
a favorable outlook, and bids fair t.
result in something more tangibl
than mere resolutions.
