THE AMENDED ROAD Law.

1'hc change made in the road law
that occasioned the warmest discussion
in the legislative session of 1879, says
the Wheeling Register, is the one
printed below. 1t repeats the act Of
1877, az it amends section twelve Of
chapter 1914 Of the acts Of 1928, lcav-
ing the amended section as below. This
act as originally introduced, provided
that every able-boiied male not under
eighteen nor over fifty years OF age,
should work upon the roads, but upon
motion Of Hon. B. II. Butler, OF Park
crsburg, the minimum age was changed
from eighteen to twenty-one, leaving
the section as follows:
"l2. Every able bodied male person
not under twenty-oue nor over Fifty
years Of age, residing in any road pre-
cinct and is not a paurcr, having had at
least three days notice shall, between
the lst day Of April and the lst day Of
November of each year, attend in per
son or by a sufficient substitute, with
proper tools, and work on the county
roads in such precinct, under the direc-
ton of the Surveyor thereof, at such
places and Oil such days during the said
period as the said Surveyor may appoint,
at least two days if that number be
necessary. Aud the County Court of
every county in which the said two
days work shall be insufficient TO open,
construct and keep in good repair the
roads and bridges thereof, shall pre-
scribe by an order of the Court the
manner in which the same shall be done
after cxpcndine thereon the two days
work aforesaid, whether entirely by
tax on property or entirely by labor or
partly by labor and partly by tax, and
it shall prescribe, provide for, and lay
z sufficient amount OF tax, or labor, or
both, as the case may be, to open, con-
struct and keep in good repair the roads
and bridges in their county during each
year. Every person repaired by the
County Court under the provisions of
Tie section 10 work Oh roads shall per.
form such additional number of days
work thereon as may be required by
such order"

ing on the subject with Mr.. Hayes and
members Of the Cabinet. They ought
to remember what the result has been
every time that any Democrat, no mat
ter what the occasion, has put faith in
promises made by the same parties.
Yesterday the Senate dismissed its
Republican officers, and put Democrats
in their places. There was plenty of
reason, in precedent and in policy why
this should be done, but the act led to
long debate, Senator Blaine saw treason
in ii. Other radical Senators were not
less overcome. What, l should like to
know, will be the sensations of these
gentlemen when the nnmberless Federal
officers throughout the country are
changed, and Democrats take the place
of those who have so long enjoyed the
benefit Of office. There are however,
peculiar reason why all the officers
about Senate and House should be in
sympathy with the party now controll'
ing the Legislation of the country. The
Senate did just what it was right to do.
The snit Of Mrs. Oliver against Ex-
Senator Simon Cameron will probably
end this week. 1t is breach of promise
of marriage. While it is not likely the
woman viii get damages, or that she
deserves them, it is noteworthy that
enough is proved in the case to show
that great leader of the party of moral
ideas is as corrupt in his relations with
women as he has always been in The
other affairs Of lie.

PATRONS CoxsIDEeED.

Worthy Master Adams Of the Min
nassta State Grange, has issued circ"-
lar letter to the Patrons OF his State IN
which he says:
The only question for US to consider
il, whether we can derive any good
from combination Of efforts. Ii we are
satisfied with cxhorbitant salaries, ana
with. the daily increasing taxation; 1t We
are willing to bear all the burdens OF
government, and DO NOT care TO have
them more dsnitsbly distributed; ii we
,hut oar eyes to the excessive charges
Of our railroad companies; if we are IN,
different as 10 our social, mental AMI
moral privileges, then indeed Is there
no use for the order Of Patrons OF HuS-
i,sndry. 1t is Tor rs to say whether tins
order shall survive or perish. Can we
afford to permit tito die ont? Il so, be
assured the Other calliugs will rejoice at
the prospective opportunity continued
To them ofsapping our prosperity hence
forth, and that, too, through our own
apathy and neglect.
This is the only national organization
in the country. and when it becomes ez-
tinc,, then will expire the hopes OF the
American farmer for brighter. and
hapuier future. Then all legislation,
State and national, will &c operated by,
and in the interests of, the arbitrary and
moncyed monopoiies which nc ourseiyes
have created aud have warmed into lie
~ the countryman didthe viper What
Is the remedy? We must be more uni,
sed, more jealous and more numerous.
We must mass our batteries on the
State Legislature and on Congress IN
order TO defeat ana destroy the steady
cncroachments made upon our industry
by gigantic associations and opnlent
corporations. We mus: be WISE and
wstchial.

March 25ih, 1879. |

There is an anliablc lut spirited con-
.cst among Democratic Congressman
"a 10 the 'urdcr Of business at this SEES
sion. What .he Official report calls u
majority fayors the passage Of the two
appropriation bills, with the amend
ncnts wade b. the House al the last
session, and adjournment. What the
saSle authority calls the minority desire
general legislation. All the other cues
lions now discussed, no matter what
space they take in the newspapers, are
E;tle thought Of in comparison with
s!is. /; is = matter of Importance. The
best men in House ard Senate are Civ
ing it close attention. The prospect
now, rs il was week ago, IS that the
session will continue into the summer,
and that, bcg;dos the supervisor and
test oath repeats. and the iosOid'ilng Of
troops 81 the polls, general legislation
will be entered or.
Ths only forciblc objection 80 far
made ia that the finances of The country
will probably be considered, and that
that will interfere with business. This,
! cannot help believing, is an argument
borrowed from Republican campaign
documents. Everybody knows,or ought
10 know, that no financial legislation is
now possible which will materially
change values. But there are number
less changes, possible in the law which
will rssult in ultimate relief 10 the peo-
ple-changes which have been demand
ed by united Democracy for the last
dozen ycars-and these may properly
he made. The fist Democratic Con-
gress in almost a generation, should
hardly declare, in effect, that it finds
nothing to remedy in the condition of
country controlled so long by the radi-
Gals, and which is, in truth, in 9 deplor-
able State in many respects.
There has been much talk in the past
few days of az agreement between
Democratic congressman and Mr.. Hay
es, by which an adjournment should be
had after the passage OF the approprla-
tion bills, the test oath repeal, a biz for
bidding the presence Of troops at the
polls, and bill limiting the number
and authority of Federal officials at
elections. There has been expressed
much stalwart Indignation at the sup
pose agreement of Mr. Hayes to con.
cede anything to the representatives Of
The people. Despite deuials, / have no ,
doubt few officious Democrats, acting !
without authority, have been negotiat-
