VALLEY RAILRoAD.-La week Mr.. A. b Stone
returned to Cleveland from his tripto England,
which was made principally In the interest Of the
Valley Railway Mr.. Stone went to SEQ what ar
rangemenh could be made with the English stock
holders Of the Marietta Road, In favor OF the pro-
posed consolidation with the Valley Road, He
was accompanied by Mr., Cyrus Field, and their
mutual efforts we're rewarded with complete sue
cess
A meeting Of the stockholders was held In Lon
don and, after lengthy discussion Of the merits
ofthe enterprise, It was agreed, by unanimous
vote, that they should assess themselves 20 per
cent OF the amount Of their Marietta stock TO in-
vest in bonds of the consolidated, and TO finish
the road. II was made contingent, however, upon
the consent and co operation Of the German stock
holders Of whom there are number, principally
In Amsterdam. Mr.. Cyrus w. Field is IN Ger
many at present, in consultation with these hold
ers Of stock, and has every reason 10 think that
the action Of the English stockholders Will be
heartily seconded The considerations are such
as appeal directly TO their interests, and the
manifest benefit Of the consolidation Will, no
doubt, induce them to give their consent and sub
NIT to the assessment,
The English stockholders at their meeting ap'
pointed an agent TO examine carefully and thor

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF

Nothing hurts man more than to seem small
in his own eyes. Itisthe slavish feeling that de-
grades the slave. A base ambition makes the man
that cherlshes 1t base, No one can debase you
but yourself slander, satire falsehood, injustice
these can never rob you Of your manhood. Men
may lie about you, they may denounce you, they
may cherish suspicious manifold, they may make
your faillngs the target of their wit and cruelty
never be alarmed, never, swerve an inch from the
line your Judgment and conscience have marked
ont for you They cannot by all their efforts take
away your knowledge of yourself, the purity of
your motives, the integrity Of your character and
the generosity Of your nature. While these are
left, you are in point of fact unframed.

REDUCTION OF PRICE IN GAS.

To pdom may concern, citizens Of Canton, eSpc-
CidlLy,
In March, 1867, what was leh of the Canton Gas
Works, passed into the control Of the presentown-
ers Since then, we have steadily, year after year.
been improving and extending the works, to the
end that our city should have a complete Gas
Works, We think that end is about accom-
plished.
Although in no year since that time, have we
made to exceed ten per cent, on the capital
stock issued to meet the expenditures, yet, in
order to meet the demand Of the times, for lower
prices, and Cheap gas" we have determined on
making a reduction of 25 per cent, making the
price to both private consumers and TO city $3.50
per thousand which price we offered to the COM
mittee of council and we are ready to accept
an ordinance at that rate for term Ofyears sufi-
cient 10 enable US to procure consumption Of
gas that will reimburse us.
Relying on q satisfactory adjustment In the not
distant future we hereby give notice, that we will
continue to furnish gas % to 80 per cent. better
than the legal standard, and charge 50 50 per thous
and cubic feet after the first of October, 1877. In
this connection we will add, that while many Of
our customers have been prompt In paying their
bills when presented and to whom we tender our
thanks, some have been very indifferent about
paying. Under the proposed new order Of prices,
we must exact new order of payment by the 18th
of each month, from all, without any exception,
or the gas will be shut off

Editor Stark County Democrat! slr
/ clip the following from the Masslllon IndS
pendent; . t.
"Wil the Masslllon Independent inform us
why II is that the coored voters Of that vicinage
declare they will not vote for Robert H. Folger
ior state SENATOR Byall meanslenlighten u.s.
Stark Co. Democrat
YES Bro. McGregor, we will cheerfully en-
tighten you, as II is evident you have been mis-
informed In regard TO the colored vote. There is
no dissatisfaction in their ranks with the Repuh-
lican nominee for State Senator; they will vote
solid for him. 1t is useless for the Democrat to
try to stir up discomfort among the ColOred peo-
pie with the Republican party, Some Of them
yet bear the marks Otthe lash and torture inaict-
ed by the Democrats and they have not for
gotten which party has always been their
friend. No, Mac, theie Is no dissatisfaction
| among the coored voters, They Will go the en-
| tire Republican ticket without a scratch.
Now, wish to inform the editor of the hide
pendent that he is mistaken in his opinion Of the
average colored voters when he states that the
coored men "wl go the entire Republican
ticket without a scratch"
While it is true that the most Of the colored
voters of Massillon will vole the Republican
ticket, and true that Some of them yet bear the
marks Of the lash" yet it is no reason why they
should support a man like r. II. Folger, who has
on more than one occasion taken advantage Of
their ignorance, and under the pretenCe Of friend
ship, swindled them out of their little all.
! If the editor Of the Independent will pub
lish the facts which l am prepared to furnish
him, will assure you that not only the coored
voters, but any honest and conscientious Repub
liCan will be very 10th to support him for State
Senator. am ready to furnish, Unnecessary, any
amount of evidence Of questionable transactions
of R. H. Folger with the colored people Of Mas
sillon, and all under the guise Of friendship and
sympathy for the poor colored man bearing "the
marks of the lash" l, myself, was swlndled out
of SS77.7 by this great lover Of the colored peo-
pie as / have the documents to prove, and If YOU
desire It, Mr., Editor, viii furnish you with the
aflidavits of several colored men who have been
swindled by the Republican nominee for the
Senate, and also to the Independent man, If he
will publish them. IT, Taylor thinks that the
colored voters are all going to be whipped in to
support the man who has robbed them under the
guise of friendship and sympathy, he is wonder
fully mistaken in his estimate of the undersigned
and many other coored men could name.
Ifyou think this is worthy place in your pa
per you are at liberty TO use it,
GILBERT N, PORTER.
