The New RAILROAD.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, November T.
Much interest is manifested in the
northern and western part of this
county in a new railroad project.
The contemplated road starts from
Hannibal and runs in a southwesterly
direction through the counties of
Rails, Audrain, Boone, Howard and
Saline to Brownsville Mo, to be call
ed the Hannibal and Southwestern
Railroad. Two lines are projected,
both starting at Hannibal, thence to
Perry, Rails county, where they d.
verge, mi passing north of Mexico
to Sturgeon, thence W a portion of
the old louisiana bed to Fayette,
and to Arrow Rock, on to Browns
vile. This line is being surveyed
now. The other ronte runs from
Perry to Mexico, on to Columbia,
R%ocheport, Arrow Rock and Browns
vile. Parties from Rocheport visited
Messrs. Hawkins and Hayward, chiefs
of the surveying patry, near Boons-
boro, in Howard county, a few days
since, when conditional arrangements
were made for a survey of the line
through to Rocheport, Columbia and
Mexico. This is considered a very
fine one by parties who are competent
to judge-easy grade and of cheap
construction !; added to this it passes
through a very fine country, already
we'll settled and we'll developed,
which will give the road a good local
trade as soon as constructed.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Thomas mansion, on Auburn
avenue, Mt. Auburn was the scene
last evening of a quiet but elegant
wedding, the contracting parties being
Judge Washburne, ofKnoxville, Tenn,
and Mrs. Maynard, a daughter-ln-law
Of Hon. Horace Maynard, Postmaster
General of the United States. The
ceremony was performed at 5 O'Clock
in the presence of Mr.. Maynard, Mr..
and the Misses Thomas, Alphonso
Taft and wife, and a few others. The
bride will be remembered as Miss
Harper, who several years ago was a
prominent society belle of Hamilton,
Ohio. She was married to her first
husband in Hamilton, and accompa-
MED him 10 the West Indies, where
Mr.. Maynard was appointed to a con-
sulship. They remained there but a
short time, when Mr.. Maynard died,
and his widow returned home, and soon
after accompanied her father-in-law
to Turkey, where he went as Minister.
Mr.. and Mrs. Washburne will depart
for Knoxville, Tenn.
The bride is a sister to Mrs. R. E.
Lawder, of this city.

OUR

As all its readers know, heretofore
the LEDeER has been an independent
Democratic paper, uncontrolled by
section, ring or combination. It has
labored to promote what it conceived
to be the highest interests of the
country. 1t has endeavored to con-
serve Democratic principles, because
they are essential to the preservation
of individual right, and never before
in its history, if the LEDGER under
stands the corrupting and c~entralizing
influences Of Republicanism, was
there necessity for greater watchful-
ness or greater ~earnestness upon the
part Of the people and their organs
and representatives, if that so called
ssindissoluble union of indestructi-
BILE states'' is to be transmitted I'M
broken to future generations.
III the future, as in the past, IN
safety or peril, in prosperity OF ad-
versity, amid freedom or oppression,
it will be the aim Of the LEDGER to be
what it has been-the friend and ad-
vocate of justice, liberty and pros
perity, and the active gatherer and dis
penser of news calculated to interest
its patrons.
The Democratic party is not over
whelmed; lis serried ranks are not
even scattered. Everywhere in all
sections, North and South, East and
West, those. ranks have been in
creased. Never before was its pop
ular majority greater. More rally to
its banner than 10 that of any other
party that has ever existed in this
country. The Democracy of our
county, in standing by its ticket so
nobly and fully, has also covered itself
with glory, and furnished the best
possible guarantee that when the
nation needs its help 1t will not be
wanting. 1t has grandly held its
fort, and of all its standard bearers
not one has been either surprised or
overcome.
Because unexpected influences have
been brought to bear upon two uncer-
tain states, our cause, the cause of
the people, is not lost. So long as
millions everywhere surround and
uphold our banner it will not be
trailed il the dust. Hosts are pant
ing to the fight, and the place
and position of the LEDGER is in the
van.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1880-11-11
CONGRESS-.

1t is a great misfortune that so few
Democratic representatives have teen
elected this fall at the North. The
solid South is looked upon by Re-
publicans as a national peril, and
every possible effort to break up its
soliditY may be expected. At this
moment there is no forecasting what
will be undertaken, because there is
no mean of estimating the relative
numbers Of the two parties, or how
far the Nationals will sustain the
Republicans in that direction.
The Republican party has de-
nounced Southern congressional rep
resentation as a fraud as we'll as a
peril, and having failed to derive ex-
pected support from Southern negroes
Is prepared for the Acknowledgement
Of both them and the whites as a
means of diminishing Southern politi-
cal power.
But if the republican party shall be
handicapped under Garfield, as it has
been under Hayes, it will be utterly
unable to inaugurate a distinctive stall
wart policy, and must of necessity
confine itself to matters of merely
governmental administration, depart
mental routine and the ordinary fed
eral appointments, a limitation to the
exercise of authority that Of all others
will be nest distastcful to Conkling
and Grant and other stalwart leaders.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1880-11-11
The Defeated,

Things have come to such a pass
in this country that whenever an
election is held some one is invariably
defeated. 1t shouldn't be that way,
but as long as it is we must put up
with it. Tie victorious candidates
feel as good as they can and need no
advice or sympathy. The defeated
ones should remember that they have
much to fall back on.
In the fret place it is an off year.
Always put in that claim TO start on.
The expression has not been copy
righted, and any one can use it.
There is no need to remain hidden
under the barn for the next three
weeks after election. Come right out
and file your claims and have it over
with. Any candidate who was laid
out is perfectly justified in believing
that the country will now drift into a
and go to the dogs.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1880-11-11

The Warrensburg Journal Demo-
crat puts it this way: 1t is an in.
famous Radical lie that the State OF
Missouri has lost money by the fail
ure of the Mastin Bank. It is true
that when that bank went under the
State had half a million dollars de-
posted in it, and hundreds. of the
best business men in Kansas City
were d~epositors. But Gates, state
treasurer, took prompt steps to re.
cover the state money. He has got
back out Of over half a million dol
lars, all but 1857, 900, and to secure
that he holds an indemnity bond
from the Burnses, secured by real
estate, worth fully half a million dol
lars. The State Of Missouri has not
or will. not losea dime.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1880-11-11

The vote in New York City was in
excess Of the legal proportion of
voters to the population. In 1876
the vote in that city was one in seven
of the population. This year Han
cock polled about 1000 more votes
than Mr.. 1ilden did, which is a fair
rate of increase; but the vote for
Garfield shows an i~ncrease of more
than 40 per centum over the vote cast
for Hayes. The committee appoint
ed by Tammany Hall will make a
thorough investigation and obtain
evidence of these frauds. 1t is I'M
possible at this writing to tell what
will grow out of this investigation.
We don't think it will result in any,
thing of Importance.
