The Senate bill to bounce 81 Hoffman,
city Auditor of Cincinnati, for political
reasons, was rushed through the House
on Monday, and 81 must now walk the
plank. Speaker Cowgirl acted about as
mean as a presiding officer could in his
rulings. This effort of the Republican
Legislature has occupied their time about
three months. There was no claim of
dishonesty or incapacity on the part of
Hoffman. The only trouble is, he is a
Democrat. at was the work of personal
malice, private vengeance and partisan
wrath "

THE BALTIMORE, PITTSBURGH %
CHICAGO II. II.

We learn that J. R. Straughn Esq, and
his corps of assistants have finished run
ming the line between Beaver, Pa, and
Chicago Junction, the distance being
about I4o miles.
The line runs through New Lisbon,
Minerva, Waynesburgh, Beach City,
West Lebanon, Wooster and so on to the
Junction, few miles north of Crestline.
We have every confidence this road
will be built. The gentlemen at the
head of the movement mean business,
and they are plain plodding business
men. We understand the subscription
Of stock is being vigorously pushed all
along the line.
We had hoped that Canton would be
a point in this line but our leading cit>
izens have given it the cold shoulder,
which is not the case where the line is
now run New Lisbon, Waynesburgh,
Wooster and other points appreciate the
importance Of main through line east
and west, and are acting accordingly.
If any of our citizens imagine this
movement is mere blow, we can assure
them they will be undeceived should
they live a year or two. This import
ant enterprise has abundance Of good,
sound backing, as we are well advised,
and we have no doubt Of its triumphant
and complete success in the near future.
This gap of about I4o miles being
completed, will give Pittsburgh another
outlet east and west, and the benefit OF
competing rates on freight.
Canton ought to be a point on this
line, and might be with the proper ef,
fort-that is, supposing it not yet too
late.
We have heard it said that Canton
might have had the Ohio Canal; Canton
might have had the Cleveland & Pitts
burgh railway and it would seem that
in after years, we shall have the pleas
ure of saying, Canton might have had
the Baltimore, Pittsburgh & Chicago line,

Oblige yours truly,


AS the Stark County DEMOCRAT has
repeatedly shown, the Constitution of
the State of Rhode Island requires a
property qualification before an adopted
citizen can vote, and the property must
be real estate. The consequence is, the
great mass Of foreign bern citizens are
cut off from the right to vote. The in
iquity of this arrangement is seen when
one remembers that the qualification ap-
plies only to adopted citizens; not to ma.
tive born nor to negroes. One instance
was found by the committee of Congress
when they investigated. of man, form,
erly a member of Congress, who cannot
now vote, having been reduced to pow
erty. The leaders of the Republican
patty fixed up the XVIII amendment so
that it would not interfere with the status
of things in Rhode Island.

own combinations. No sooner
was the falsehood fairly started than
they brought all their influence to
defeat Mr.. Faulkner, and to secure
the nomination of Jacob b. Jackson.
One gentleman, who is an honorable
and upright man, disclaimed through
our columns being party to this
combination-and we believe any
thing he states-but how is it that
every paper friendly to him in the
Third District, and to another as
pirant from that district for Sena-
torial honors, have united in sup
port of Jackson and against Faux
ner? What is the explanation of
this movement? Is it to secure the
Jackson influence for United States
Senator, or is it by comforting the
Office of Governor upon Parkersburg
to exclude any other person from
that cit y from being a rival for the
United States Senate This cleo
tion then for the office of Governor,
which ought to stand upon its own
merits, and in which of all other
offices in the State the people should
be allowed the true expression of
their wishes, is made a football of
Senatorial intrigues and the result
of machine politics.
Political parties should assert their
rights against any form of combina-
ton in support of any man, and if
they really have a choice for the
office of Governor, that they will
give bold and manly expression of
their wishes and make their real SEN
timents felt in the convention.
This paper may yet be called upon
to discuss the platforms and candi-
dates of both parties, and if in our
duty as independent Journalists we
should have to expose some persons
in either ranks who cry ''ring" when
they are themselves the embodiment
of "rings' and fraud, it will be one
more lesson learned by machine poll
iticians and one more blow struck
by an independent pepper in behalf of
the people, without regard to parties.
