TOLEDO, April 3.-The Commercial of
this morning has the following in regard to
the recent suits against the Wabash rail-
road company, on the alleged interest OF
the holders of bonds of the old Toledo q
Wabash railroad company, and including
an application for the appointment OF a
receiver for the Wabash railroad company.
Information has been received at the
Office Of the Wabash railroad company
here, that the recent erroneous accounts of
legal proceedings against the company are
all traceable to one of the partners In
firm of brokers in railroad securities in
New York. The accounts are all calcu
lated to iDjurionsly affect the stock of the
corporation and their frequency is thought
to denote the existence of a desperate
short interest. The professed object of
railway by way Of lien, of $600,000 unse
cured bonds issued 10 1862 by the old
Toledo Il Wabash railroad company, and
on which no interest has been paid for
several years. New bills are filed weekly
and one sided accounts Immediately sent
out. Five different attempts in as many
years to fasten these bonds on the Wabash
railway have already failed, and none of
the recent proceedings have given thus far
promise of any different result.

Every moment of delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends on the iudiCious
choice Of remedy. The amount of testimony in
favor Of DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic sy up, a cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all hat can be
brought to support the pretentions of any other
medicine see DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates of many persons of the highest
responsibility, who have been restored to health =,
after being pronounced incurable by physicians Of
acknowledged ability. Schencks Pulmonic Syrup
alone has cured many, as these evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment Of two other remedies which Dr.schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional rene
dies are schencks Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills BY the timely use of these medicines, &C.
cording to directions, DR.. Schenck certifes that
most any case of Consumption may be cured

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, ,ApL 3.-The debate on the
army appropriation bill was continued and
Knott spoke of the great and historical
im portance of the principle involved 1t
was a great fundamental principal of re-
publican liberty that the ballot box should
be protected from the slightest approach
of military power, and that the voter shall
be left absolutely free in exercising at the
polls the highest prerogative of citizen.
He quoted the English statute Of George
IL. for the removal of troops from the
place where the election is to be held, and
cited Blackstone, that it is essential that
elections shall be absolutely free and that
therefore all undue influences are illegal
and prohibited. He bad expected such a
question would have been discussed on the
other side with calmness and dignity, but
in this ne had been previously disappoint-
ed, particularly In connection with the
speech of Frye. That speech, while it
might have been appropriated to the
small Frye of his party, as cross roads or
village bar-rooms,it was unjust to that gen
tleman's genial and generous nature
Mr.Knott concluded his speech with the
statement of the benefcent reforms that
would be effected when the Democratic
party had captured the Capitol,as he firm
ly believed ir to be 10 the plans of Provi
dence, that the party of the people shoulC
so triumph. He was followed on the re,
publican side by Hauck, who argned
was absolutely necessary for the protec
ton of the lives and political rights of tn
colored voters, while republicans OF th
south, that the authority of tn
military presence to keep the peac
at the polls should be maintained
This speech being made by a souther
man attracted much attention and wa
frequently applauded on the repubica
side and jeered on the democratic side.

Mr.. Stewards place, 6 miles east

Office, is n of the best improved I have
met with in all my Dakota journeyings.
The owner has lately refused $4,000 for it.
He has beautiful groves, a we'll improved
farm and his location could not be more
commanding. Rev. MI. Coffman's farm
lies in this garden spot and that gentleman
will have a good crop. He gave MT a good
idea about destroying grasshoppers which I
send you for the information of farmers
generally. Mr.. Cofman says the prairies
should be protected from burning until
spring, and the Law should severely punish
anyone who would burn the grass before.
That if the grass is preserved until spring
the grasshopper after Matching, will invari.
acly seek shelter from the cool air d. night
in the tall dead grass, and when the festive
insect has climbed his roost at nieht-fall
and tired natures sweet restorer has riveted
his eyelids and dulled his senses, then is the
moment to apply the torch to the grass, and
in the brief hours of q single night the grass.
hopper problem will be most effectually
solved. I mentioned this scheme to other
farmers and found that MI. Coffman's theory
had unanimous support.
Mr.. Atwater has . fine place in this vicin
ity and is surrounded by all the luxuries a
we'll as comforts of an elegant home.
I visited Mr.. J. H. Halsey's place where
I saw the finest vegetable garden that
have yet noticed.
Mr.. Hauser's farm is another worthy .
mention. 1t is in very fine condition
Near this gentleman's house I observed
large group Of children and under the i'm
preston that . district school was in oper
alton, I accosted Nj. Hauser, and aske'
him if he was the teacher. He smiled yer,
pleasantly and answered that the childre
belonged to his own and Mr.. Hilton's fami
lies and numbered respectively seven an
nine. That no school had yet been estat
lished but they had q building in conteu
plation. It struck me quite forcibly that
these gentlemen were specimens of th
numerical strength of Turner county fam
lies there was little need of further imm
grafton to secure population for these fertil
acres.
