Baltimore and other eastern cities.
For these reasons Pittsburgh CAPT
tai is ready to invest to the amount
of one half the cost, or more If ncces-
sary, in building this road. DR. Geo
p. Hays, an energetic, and thorough
ly informed man, who has had con
siderable experience in the construc-
ton Of railroads, has relinquished a
lucrative salary in order to accept the
Presidency Of the road. On the 10th
he will begin personal exploration
Of the route, its resources, engineer
ing difficulties, disposition Of the
counties along its line to give it ma
terial aid, either public or private,
and generally to ascertain the charac-
ter Of the country and the best route.
He will be accompanied by the chief
engineer Of the road and will address
public meetings at Morgantown on
the 10th, Grafton on the 18th, Philip
pi on the goth, and other places along
the line as may be determined by the
rate of progress made. 1t is expect
ed that the influential and public
spirited citizens Of each town along
the line will provide suitable places
for meeting, cause notice of same to
be given, and send a committee or
travelling companion or two with DR..
Hays from point to point, so as to en-
able him to secure as perfect a knowl-
edge Of the route, its advantages and
resources, as possible with little de
lay.
Such an enterprise as this will do
wonders in the development of this
State Intersecting the Baltimore
and Ohio at Grafton, the Potomac
and Ohio at some point in Randolph
or Pocohontas county, and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio in Greenbrier coun-
ty, it would bring all these roads in
to competition with each other as to
east-bound freights or passengers,
and furnish fine traffic for the new
road.
Let the people all along the line
give President Hays hearty recep-
ton, subscribe literally to the road,
and we shall soon see its consuma-
ton.

Our SIackwater improvement.

We received a few days ago a copy
Of the following bill, introduced, in the
House of Representatives by our excel
lent Representative Hon, B. F. Mar
tin. We have no doubt that the bill
will pass. If it fails it will certainly
not be the fault of Mr. Martin. If
we could have secured his services long
before we did, the Monongahela would
have been navigable long since.
"a BILL to authorize further appro-
priation to continue the improvement
of the Monopgahcla River in the State
Of West Virginia.
BE 1t enacted Lgt tie Senate and House
of Representatives. Of The United States
Of Anaericd IN Congress assembled, That
the SUN Of one hundred and fifteen
thousand dollars be, and the same is

Virginia.
Our Representatives and Senators are
very active, in order to further the ins

Pittsburgh, w. Va. and Southern
Railroad.

I'VE arc indebted to Hon. Geo. c. Sturgiss for the
following article in regard to the Railroadl
This road, which is the West Vir-
ginia extension Of the Pittsburgh
Southern road, is duly chartered, and
holds bona tide stock subscription
pledges to the amount Of two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. 1t will
run through Morgantown into Pres
ton county, and to Grafton. Enough
has already been done to give assn
rance that this much Of the road will
be completed next summer, and also
its Pennsylvania connection SO as to
give through rail from Pittsburgh
to Grafton. But it is the design Of
its projectors to extend it as rapid ly
as possible from Grafton to Philippi,
and thence up the Tygart's Valley
river through Randolph county to
the dividing elevation between the
Valley and the Greenbrier rivers and
down the latter stream through Poca-
hontas, Greenbrier and Summers
counties, to the New River, and up
the latter river to the mineral fields
through which it passes.
The iron and steel men of Pitts
burgh, as well as manufacturers in
other departments, and the mer-
chants, are convinced chat this road
would open up to them new field of
enterprise that would add vastly to
their wealth. Such a road would
pass through the finest forests of oak,
white pine, poplar, walnut and other
valuable woods; would make aces
sible rich deposits of hematite, spec
ular and magnetic ores, aud secure
almost unlimited quantities of the
| finest coking and iron making Goals,
not one whit inferior to the celebrated
Connellsyille Goals; all Of which are
now comparatively yalueless on ac-
count ofiuaceessibility, and would al
so develop trade for Pittsburgh that
now satisfies its wants by going to

THE YEAR 1878.

The flight of time has brought to
close another year. The year 1878
has been q memorable one. Within
it series of of events has transpircd
that may influence the character of
nations in the future The political
movements of the United States have
been varied and exciting. The coun-
try has maintained amicable rela-
tons with foreign powers, but the
Consciousness Of President occupy
ing the White House, who was not
fairly elected has tended to weaken
the confidence of the people in our
government, and has given signifi-
canoe to the action of the Potter
Committee, and other investigating
boards in regard to elections. The
elections which took place in the fall
indicate growing strength in the
Democratic party and since every
movement has an indirect reference
to the next Presidential campaign,
the Democrats are increasingly con
fident Of electing their candidates in
1880. The legislation Of the Repub-
lican party has continued che oppres-
siye times, and the people have no
hope except through the Democratic
party. Notwithstanding the many
promises of the dominant party, the
business of the country has not i'm
proved any in the last four years,and
as far as we can see, there is no hope
Of its being any better under the
present administration.
The social aspect of things is not
satisfactory. The continued com
mercial depression has given rise to
strikes, and consequently disturbed
the peace Of society in many places.
At present there are still thousands
Of unemployed people in the country,
in state Of poverty and priyation
Some mitigation Of the general dis
tress may arise from the bountiful
haryests with which Providence IA
vored US.
There seems to have been during
the year that has just closed com
mingling Of good and evil, of mercy
and calamity We should thank q
kind Providence that it is as well
with MS as it is, and resolve to merit
in the future the blessings that we are
constantly receiving.

JOHN SHERMAN AND HIS FL
NANCIAL POLICY.
The Fraud Developing.


resumption scheme is beginning to
crop out, and such honest hard mon
| ey men as Abram S. Hewitt are wax
! ing up to a sense Of their duty, to
some extent, to the people. They are
determined to expose the enormous
swindle. Mr.. Hewitt says "the more
he studies the reply Of Secretary Sher-
man to Judge Kelley's resolution the
more it startles him." 1t seems to be
developing that while Sherman was
tickling the people, with the fallacious
idea that his forced resumption, and
contraction Of the currency was q
step in favor Of honest money, he was
secretly in league with the New York
and other Eastern Banks to rob the
people. 1t appears that the First Ma
tional Bank Of New York has had
fat Job. In addition to sharing the
profits of the sales of the new four
per cent bonds, this bank Was allow
ed to retain in its possession some
$40, 000, 600 of United States bonds to
speculate upon. It is evidence Of
the intent on the part of Sherman, to
allow this Bank to speculate upon
these bonds since the money was
left on ninety days call, and the re-
port of the bank, Dec 1st, shows that
these funds were loaned ont, bringing
handsome profit to the Bank. A
press dispatch dated Washington Dec.
22an., in speaking of this transaction
says that Mr. Hewitt, who is an able
financier, in connection with the Bank
ing bushes, and not at all given to
loose statements, and withal an earnest
advocate of gold resumption says
this bank cannot have made less than
100000 out Of this transaction and
possibly more. The capital stock of
this bank is 100000, and the net
profit Of this one transaction is esti-
mated at 100000 or more. Is it any
wonder that Eastern bankers and
capitalists are favorable to Sherma ans
forced resumption. Is it any wonder
that the Democracy should wayer and
that the City and State of New York
should falter in their attachment to
the Democracy at the last election,
when such stupendous frauds as these
were offered them? Doubtless this is
but one of many jobs perpetrated to
fatten the bankers and promote radi-
cal aseendency. And yet Hayes and
Sherman boast of their victory for
honest G. money and condemn those
who oppose their iniquity as repudiaa-
tors and enemies to tho public credit.
Because the Republican party has
legislated the bonds and paper cur
rency of the country into the hands
of q set of unprincipled and greedy
bankers and money-lenders, which
bonds were purchased by them at so
cents on the dollar and are now worth
100 cents on the dollar, they would
have people believe that they have
done a great thing to strengthen the
public credit. The fact is they have
by class legislation and by favoring
monopolies and rich men spread fnan-
cial ruin and distress broadcast over
the land

In the days of the Rebellion there
was man who belonged to the Con-
federacy, whose name was Mosby. He
became famous for his bravery, infa-
nous to the North on account of his
cruelty. He was regarded by the
Union citizens as q savage monster
on account of the predatory charac-
ter of his warfare. He was called
Guerrilla Mosby," on account of the
disposition to plumber and rob which
characterized the man. So great a ter
ror was he that mothers used to hush
the crying Of their infants by telling
them that the terrible Guerrilla
Mosby would conc and carry them
off. The latest dispatches announce
that this same Mosby is now in
Washington City,on his way to Hong
Kong, China, where he is sent as
minister by Returning Board Hayes,
who has become chief of the Guerril-
las by usurping the Pres idential of
flee and all its perquisites. 1t is to
be hoped that rat-pie and puppy
sausage will agree with his Guerrilla
ship, and that he may take such a
liking for Pig-tail John that he will
stay there and go into missionary
work.

The Blaine Business.

mat the Blame Committee 8 lnVeS-
tigation will develop any facts in
connection with the late Southern
elections calculated to justify, in the
esteem of any reasoning citizen, a
solid vote for the Republican candi-
dates in the contest Of 1880, is
thought not to be harbored for mo-
ment. The Republican Senators,
themselves, feel that this is a fact;
hence their unWillingness to serve on
the committee. Besides, the courts
in the Southern States are moving
with commendable promptness, but
without much effect. In South Caro-
lima thirteen cases of the aggravated
election frauds alleged against the
Democracy have been tried, in the
United States Court for that District
before Republican Judge and by
grand and petit juries composed most
ly of white and colored Republicans,
and in not one instance were the par
ties indicted found guilty. In Florida
the Canvassing Board threw out the
votes of one Democratic county on the
ground of fraud in the poll, and the
parties implicated therein have been
indicted; and this, Notwithstanding
that the Canvassing Board and the
Court are Democratic.
That the revival of the 'bloody
shirt" by Blaine will fail of it's pur-
pose, however, is not by any means
so certain. We believe with Robert
Toombs, that for them to drop it
would leave them without an ISSUE
bad as is the conception, and danger
Gus as must be the consequences il it
shall succeed. Democrats must not
therefore fatter themselves that be-
cause the Investigating Committee is
not likely to bring to light any start
ling frauds, because there were none
to be so brought, or because the out
RACES and wrongs prepetrated in No
vember in New York, Penna. and
Mass, are certain ofexposure through
the efforts of Messrs. Wallace, Bayard
and others, that the bloody shirt will
not be permanently resurrected, or
that it will avail the resurrectionists
no profit. It has been decided that
the Committee shall sit with open
doors. This was assented to by
portion Of the Republican members of
the Committee sufficient to carry it,
that they may make it the basis of an
accusation that witnesses would not
testify, being in deadly fear of the
bull dozer Then the committee will
not be able to report until the 46th
Congress conyenes, when the Senate
will be Democratic. This again will
be point of vantage for them. They
will report more recklessly and viru-
lently than if there were a Republi-
can Senate to approve their findings,
and then charge that if the party sit
uation were reversed, a result more in
accord with justice and constitution
al liberty would be attained. The
Republican managers know well how
to manouyre in such matters, and
that they will have sufficiently pliable
material to work with cannot be dis
puted since the success of Republi-
canism in Penna. and New York in
the face Of the dreadful record that
party has made in the States named.
The faith of the Republicans will
be tied to the bloody shirs in 1880.
To our mind this is a foregone con
clnsion-and that, whether Grant,
Blaine or Conkling, for some present
lsser light, be their leading candidate.
