A marrow gauge Railroad TO Buffalo
and lie Claire

At last-after twenty years of Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep lie Claire awakes and finds
the wealthy citizens of Davenport are GO
ing to build them a narrowsgauge railroad.
Of this road the Democrat says: mo pro-
jectsha been more canvassed than the one
of railroad to lie Claire and Buffalo. The
benefits and advantages of such line have
never been questioned, but for one reason
or another all the movements to effect the
construction of such a road have fallen
through. At last, however, it would seem
that the enterprise is in fair way of being
put on its feet and carried through. For
some time past there has been quiet DIS
cussionEof the matter, andsit took form to-
day when meeting of incorporators was
held.
The intention is to construct line OF
Narrow Gauge railroad from Davenport to
Buffalo and Blue Grass and from DaVen-
port to lie Claire with tracks to the coal
mines at each end. The!incorporators OF
the company are:
| FOR DAVENPORT.
William Renwick S. L. Smith.
w. G. Brewster. Edward Russell
D. n. Richardson, G. ii. Parker,
j. Meredith Davis.
FOR BUFFALO.
W. L. Clark Henry Dohrman.
J. Z. Burnside.
FOR LIE CLAIRE.
| DR.. James Gamble.
FOR PLEASANT VALLEY.
B. Birchard.
/ FOR PRINCETON.
| Samuel Knox.
A meeting of the incorporators was helt
in this city this afternoon, at which an or
ganization was perfected. D. N. Richard
son, acted as chairman, and Edward Rus
sell, as Secretary.
The following officers of the compan.
were elected.
4 President-W. G. Brewster.
/ Vice President-W. L. Clark.
Treasurer-W Renwick.
Secretary-S. L. Smith
i General Agent. M, Davies.
Attorney-W. FL. Gabbert
1t was decided that the name of the roa
from here down the river should be th
| Davenport, Buffalo and Blue Grass Rail
road, and of that up the river, the Daver
port & Scott County Railroad The cap
tai stock of the Buffalo line was fixed &
i 100000. with privilege of increasing it
$l50.0O0; and OF that to LeClaire at tn
same figures. The townships throug
, which the road will run, if constructed
will probably be called upon to vote ia
in aid of the project, and it is hardly to /
anticipated that there will be any refus
! to in this way advance the interests of II
locality and to secure so great public en-
erprise.

MISREPRESENT7 THE DEMO-
CRATIC PARTY.

The Honorable Montgomery Blair, now
a member of the Maryland legislature and
whose name is spoken of in connection
with the Senatorship from that State, has
presented memorial which he asks shall
be adopted, asking for legal test of the
right of President HAYES to his seat. AS
far as any effect the Memorial may have
as the right of Mr.. HAYES to the seat is as
legal as that of any President who ever sat
there, and will be so regarded to the end
of his term when his Democratic successor
comes in; but the other effects are
bad. Mr.. BLAIR says he is moved to his
memorial because he thinks the people
throughout the country ieel keenly the
wrong inflicted upon them and demand
redress. But he greatly errs if he thinks
their redress is desirable, or desired in the
mode he points to for obtaining it. The
people of the Southern States, where very
large portion of the Democratic party is
located, appreciate even more keenly than
Mr.. BLAIR can the outrage and cheat
which was inflicted on them by the Repub-
lican party at the point OF the bayonet, for
it was nothing but an earnest desire to
avert another conflict which kept them
quiet; but they also know that they assem-
ted to the settlement and their representa-
tives voted for laws giving it the C lor and
merit of legality. They know further that
their redress lies in the ballot box four
WOO from rou and fhov moan fo opforoo
it. And knowing that they propose to
rest and attend to their home affairs. They
will by no memorials or other devices, no
appeals to their passions or wrongs be in
duced to countenance any step which will
unsettle the nation and revive the hatreds
of the past. The minds of the Southern
people al e hundred years older than they
were sixteen years ago, and those who are
calculating on us to help in raising distur-
bance reckon without their host.
Nor is Mr.. BLAIR's Democratic
move, except inasmueh as the Democrats
are wanted to turn the grindstone for
Gen. GRANTS candidacy in 1850. Two or
three years of animosity and attempts,
successful or otherwise, to unseat Presi-
dent recognized by the whole country; a
couple of Congressional elections, dragging
the people into the dispute-and the nomi-
nation of GRANT, to say, LET us have
peace,'' would lie right across the path of
events. Such incorrigible fossils as EATON,
of Connecticut, and the other Democratic
senators, who not long since aided and
~, fho of
the first and only President, for seventeen
years who has had both the ability and in
tention to administer the affairs of the
country justly, may pat this movement on
the back, but the mass of the Democratic
party is fixedly opposed 10 it. Doubtless
Mr.. BLAIR is sincere; we are glad to think
so, but certainly he is misled, both in his
proposal and in the backing he may have
calculated on.
