THE SOUTHERN ROAD.
A Citizens Meeting and Their Ac-
ton.


The question as to what ought to
be done with the Cincinnati Southern Rail
way came up again last evening for discus
sion in the Chamber of Commerce. After
hearing the opinions of several gentlemen,
the meeting was made a citizens's meeting.
Mr. Ingalls, submitted the following:
Resolved, That Committee of three be
selected from the Chamber of Commerce
Committee Board OF Trade and Board of
Transportation, who shall select q compe-
tent Engineer and request the Trustees to
meet with their engineer and go over the
unfinished road and decide upon what
plan or specifications it shall be finished,
and then the Trustees be requested to ad-
vertise for twenty days for proposals for
completing the road according to such plan,
either as whole or in sections and report
such bids to this Committee, and that said
Committee report their action to their re-
spectiye bodies.
This caused some lively comment and
finally the following was adopted in place
of it:
Resolved, That the Legislature be re-
quested to authorize the issue of not ex-
ceeding So, 900, 600 of bonds said bonds not
to be issued or sold until a contract or con-
tracts are made for the entire completion of
the Cincinnati Southern Railway, which
shall be ratified by the Trustees of the Sink
ing Fund, and such temporary terminal ia
cilities as may be needed and can be pro-
vided without exceeding the proceeds of the
81, UO0, 900 of bonds"
The following was also offered:
Resolved, That it is the opinion of the
meeting that the income or incomes accru-
ing from the Cincinnati Southern Railway
should be paid in the City Treasury"
This was adopted, and the Citizens
meeting came to an end

GEORGE w. ZIEGLER.
The Habeas Corpus Writ Dismissed
and a Little Rebuke from the
COUrt.

ne h1ADetSS SoHPub
and Little Rebuke from the
Court.
The writ of habeas corpus against Colonel
George w. Ziegler and the Police Commits
soners was disposed of by Judge Cox this
morning. In delivering his decision Judge
Cox said:
Upon the first answer of Col. Ziegler, L
was of the opinion that it was evasiye; that
the officers anticipated the suing out
of the writ, and that to evade it they sent
the prisoners out of the city.
The amended answer is full, and positive
ly denies that when the writ was issued the
men were sent away for the purpose OF
evading it. 1t stated that the men were
brought here from indianapolis to deter
mine whether identification could be made
as to their being the murderers of Kunkel,
and in failure thereof they were to be re-
turned to Indianapolis.
The sending them away was not done to
evade the writ, nor in anticipation of one
being sued out, but simply on the agree
ment made with the Indiana authorities,
that the men be returned if not identified.
The Court then explained the object of
writ of habeas corpus-its punishment on
an evasion of it. The Court said that if a
party comes into Court and says he has not
had the men in his custody when the writ twas
served and gives particulars about the case
the Court decides whether the person IS
amenable or not If the Court is satisfied
that he has evaded the writ the party will
be fined or punished by Imprisonment un-
til he produces such men.
1t is now a question whether the answer
in this case is sufficient The party states
clearly that he did not evade the writ, and
am satisfied that the prisoners had not
been put away for an evasion of it. Appli-
cation had been made by a certain party in
order to see the prisoners, but
their conduct seems to have in
duced Colonel Ziegler and the Commits
sioners to believe that they had abandoned
the idea of suing out writ of habeas
corpus, and that Colonel Ziegler, after that
had no knowledge of the fact that writ
was, nevertheless, to'be served.
When it was served Saturday the men
were out of the city and had been at least
two hours and half in Indianapolis. The
testimony does show, however, that the
prisoners had been detained longer than
ton had been INDUCED in, that the prison
ers had been separated and that there had
been secret tribunals, &c.
This is not to be tolerated. The officers
are sworn to obey the law to the letter, and
they ought to know better than to avoid it,
They did wrong, and there is punishment
for such offenses.
The prisoners were brought here and
again sent away from here against the
law. The pursuance of this course was also
beyond the officers authority. There is
such thing as statute against kidnapping.
With these views the writ is dismissed.

Curious President a Contingencies.
detroit Free Press Dsml


Counting Florida and Indiana as Demo
cratic, the Democrats have control of nine
teen delegations, and the election of three
Democrats from California would give them
the twentieth State. WiHaAhe best possibili-
ty for either party considered, neither can
count upon majority OF States without hay
ing the support of De La Matyr, while the
probability Is strong that even with this vote
absolutely secure neither party will have O.
majority. Therefore in all probability, il the
election is thrown into the House 1t will be
without result.
With no choice by the people, and no Pres-
dent elected by the House, the Vice President
becomes President. In case of O failure of
would, OF course, be inevitable, IL the Presi-
dent were not SO chosen, 1t Is the duty of the
Senate to elect the Vice President from the
two highest numbers on the list voted for. In
such an election twO-thirds of the Senators
are necessary to constitute q quorum, and q
majority of the whole number is necessary to
a choice.
In the Senate of tLe Forty-sixth Congress 1t
will be an easy matter-if the election of Vice
President devolves upon that body--to avoid
compliance with the constitutional require
ment. Two-thirds are necessary to constitute
o quorum, and the minority, by absenting
themselves or declining to. vote, can prevent
such quorum. There would be nothing to be
gained by such course, however, for the rea-
son that the statutes of the United States,
enacted in accordance with section Of article
2 OF the constitution, provide that the Presi-
dent pro TEN, of the Senate shall act as Presl-
dent in the case of @ vacancy in the Vice
Presidential office. A majority Of the Sena-
tors constitutes d quorum for this purpose
and majority Of the ma ority can elect.

THE Sage of Creamery Park.
IN. Y. Tribune

New YORK, Nov 13.-T saw Sam Tilden on
the street a few days ago. Never was q man
so changed In q few brief months. There
never was much body to Sam Tilden. He al
ways had a figure like q gas-pipe, and now he
is even thinner than before. His features are
painfully drawn and twisted-or they were
which | saw him. Indeed physician who
knows all about the old mans bodily affairs
tells me he has nearly lost the use Of one whole
side, and that gradually growing pa
ralysls Is what's the matter with
him. His personal appearance amply
corr0borates the assertion, and ! shouldn't
wonder if the sage OF Gramercy Park had be-
gun to "gravitate toward the bone-orchard,"
as an irreverent friend Of mine remarks. He
has been in the habit Of broodng good deal
over his troubles since the last presidential
election, but until lately believed the Amer-
can people would hoist him into the White
House In 1880 as a sort of reward Of merit for
having accepted SO meekly the fraud first

however, took all that out of him-knocked
him cold, SO to spoak-and ever since their
fatal publication he has been mOping In de-
spair. To prove that his hand has lost it's
cunning, one has but to refer to the document
which was published as his denial Of the
whole transaction charged against him by the

the stream would be navigable from the Cas-
