RAILROAD wAR.
successfulIy Moving ebstructions-A
Rival Put Out of the Way.


Cumberland, Nd, Aug, ls.-On Sunday
morning at au early hour the Georges
Greek i Cumberland Railroad company
removed the obstacles which the Cumber.
land u Pennsylvania company had erected
at knapp's Meadow, about mile east Of
Homecoming, for which the right Of way had
been secured, and successfully con-
structed their bridge, crossing over
the Cumberland n Pennsylvania Railroad
at that point. The force, composed of few
men, accompanied by numerous body Of
miners, then proceeded 10 the bridge cross
ing of the Miller mine branch and crested
bridge at that point. Tho whole population
of the mining region isintensely excited and
determined TO protect the new
road, and details of mea have
been appointed by committees TO
guard the newly erected bridges day and
night. The obstruction at Knapp's meadow
consisted Of tower about thirty-fve feet
high, built between the abutments OF the new
railroad company,and the material employed
in its construction WAS almost entirely de-
stroyed A tall telegraph pole, about twenty
feet higher than the poles generally used on
the line of the Cumberland i Pennsylvs-
mia railroad, was also stuck up as ar
additional obstruction. This pole was
simply lowered to point, leaving il
projecting twenty-five feet above the surface
without iniuring or disturbing in any manner
the telegrsphic wires. As there are no trains
running on the Cumberland & Pennsylvania
railroad on Sundays, the interesting intolli
gence did not reach this city until Monday
morning, when il caused sensation. Thi
closes another chapter in the history of rail
rord enterprises in this section of the country
and disposes of the last obstruction placed in
their way by rival company,

A GaIvestOnian Said to Have Died OF
Yellow Fever In New York.

New York, Aug. IS. "A post.mortem ex-
animation YVES held to-day in the case of
Hippolate Reybsnd, Of Galveston, WHO died,
a, is supposed, from yellow fever. The ex.
animation disclosed nothing that could posi-
lively indicate the existence of that disease,
yellow jaundice having been the cause of his
death. Late this evening it was learned at
the hotel at which Reyband stopped prior to
going to the hospital, that he had black
vomit, and from this it is thought his case
was one of genuine yellow fever.

Aspecial dispatch from Washington to the
New York Graphic says Gen. Clark, of the
internal revenue department, has a plan
which he will lay before the National Re-
publican Committee in few days. He pro-
poses to have the record of every candidate
for Presidential elector inquired into, 10 see
that no one is on the ticket in any State who
is technically ineligible, and whose vote in
the electoral college can be challenged. He
also proposes to procure the proper form
for making election returns according to the
formula in each State, and have reliable
ageat stationed at each precinct to see that
no blunder is made in the electoral form of
the return. Only few days ago Repub-
lican candidate for elector on the Republi-
can ticket in Pennsylvania withdrew be-
canse he is member of the State Lecisla-
ture, and it is not improbable that there are
others similarly situated-holding Offices
rendering them technically ineligible to
serve as Presidential electors. The electo-
raj ticket Of every State should be thorough
ly sifted with view OF getting rid of candi.
dates against whom objections can be
raised. 1t is absolutely certain that our
Democratic Congress will made haste to
throw out the vote of every Republican
elector who can be objected to on any legal
ground however trivial the point may be.
Remember the case of the Oregon elector,
four years ago, who, when nominated, held
the office of postmaster in an obscure coun.
try town. He resigned that position before
the election, but the fact tn It he had held il
was made an excuse for Withholding his
certificate and naming Cronin in his place.

DEMOCRATIC OPINION OF THE

There is NO possible way i'm which Alon-
20 Gareelon can be prevented from maxi
ing himself Governor as long as he lives,
and keeping his precious set Of vii
lains i'm this State in Council for
life, provided they can secure nom
inati Ons for the places, and can find
courage to throw out Republican returns
enough each year TO sent their own tools
in the legislative chamber. Popular liber-
ty thus far has had its throat cut i'm liberty
loving New England by n scalpel of n Down
East doctor, and nothing but the hope
that the infinite Justice Of heaven will over
take him, stands between this and the fu.
ture subjecsion of the State of Maine to his
dictatorship, If he is brazen enough to con-
Time this kind of work. There is but one
thing that would meet the case with per-
feet Justice, and that would be the short
shriff of this man with n great cord from
one of the elms of Augusta. But New Eng
land takes the more tardy, but equally sure
way through the ballot box, and even pup
pet GarcelOn and maestro Pillsbury will
not have assurance to use their power
against ono more verdict by the sturdy sons
of Maine, which they will get next Sep

Mr.. Nye's Bribery Charge.

MIR. Nye's response to the challenge of
the PRESS to give the name of the promin-
ent Republican politician who he alleged in
his Augusta speech offered him any Office
in the gift of the Republican party if he
would resign the nomination of the "En-
forced Prohibition" party, appears in an
other column. Having publicly charged
that man attempted to bribe him and
stated that he should give his name when it
was called for by any Republican paper or
speaker, Mr. Nye now says that he will
give the name when the PRESS proves or
retracts certain charges which it made
against him several weeks since.
Such performance as this needs no COM
ment There doesn't exist in the State of
Maine a man, woman or child above the
grade of an idiot in intellectual capacity
who will not be convinced by Mr.. Nye's let
Ter that he is trying to crawl out of very
unpleasant predicament though very mar
row aperture. Unable to give the name
and unwilling to confess that his statement
at Augusta was false he has, to change the
figure, taken refuge beneath very trans
parent subterfuge. The PRESS is satisfied
to leave him there,

The renewed energy Of the Democratic
party is but the spasmodic effort that
presages death. From this national
struggle it will fall back, defeated, dis
cordant and hopeless minority. The hope
of federal patronage gone, its local SUI
prcmacics cannot long be maintained.
This is to be desired, for the way to cur
rency reform lies across the grave of the
Democratic party. To enter its ranks is

THE Democrats are fond of prating of
their alleged care of the ex-Union soldiers
the hollowness of their pretensions receives
fresh illustration in letter which the Car
Isle, Pennsylvania, Herald publishes, and
which was written only four months ago by
Congressman Frank E. Beltzhoover, himself
Democrat, of the Nineteenth District of
Pennsylvania. The letter is dated April 23,
1880, and in it the writer says: 81 would
most cheerfully introduce and urge the pas
sage of a bill such as you suggest, but with
the present Democratic House pension bills
do not have much favor. 1t has become
almost impossible to get consideration of
such bill at all, and when considered its
chance of passing the House is very remote,
and the rebel General who is at the head of
the Pension Committee in the Senate is still
more averse to allowing any such bills to
pass. 1t would not be at all probable, there
fore, that the bill will be got through"

New HAVEN Palladium: We are in

the attitude of the Democratic party with
Hancock at its head. Judge Black says:
"The head of party is like the head of a

This, he thinks, shows that President,
however high his personal character, will
never be better than his party. The head
must go where the body carries it. Apply
