by Gasene reporter rs to his views on Senator
Hills recent letter favorng the disbanding Of tho
Democratic party and the formation Of new or
ganiIation.
In response the Judge said that Senator Hill
was man Of ability, bat the organization Of n
new party, TO be called the National Union party,
was impracticablc. The Republican party was u
National Union party. and u We made any step
between the Democratic party and the Republican
u would be only halt on one formed To- sustain
Garleld's administration. Mr.. Hiirs position
would lead him aud his friends into the next Re.
publican convention TO rcnominate Garfield. Tho
logic Of events taught the South many lessons aud
none more strongly than that n solid South made
solid North. lie prophesicd the South would be
more than half Republican States In the next four
years. Centralism was u shadow nobody feared
but reputation Of debts by Southern States was a
species Of States rights that banded all the inter
ests Of wealth against H. and II was feared by all
the leading mon Of the North.

1sf'- Decen, Southern Democratic papers seem

"instead OF discussion Of 4 measure Of public

Democratic managers assailed the personal char

voter tina, Garfield was thief aud perjurcr. The

= on TnE SUBJECT oF RoAms.-Thc public roads
Of distre, show the spirit and enterprise Of the
people in the district TO certain extent. and all
will admit that good public roads add 10 the value
Of the land rs much. if not more, than anything
Of equal cost. bad road means a small load
with great wear and tear TO n wagon aud team,
and bad roads are the complaint generally. Why?
First, they are badly drained and not enough
work done on them: second, there Is but little
thought given 10 making roads. and the work is
often done late in the fall: third, men pillow and
scrapc more than there Is any need o. aud make
u narrow. poor road when they &c, through. II
Is cheaper Ca make goud wide ruad when the
land will permit. than one. from the fact
that In making wide one you simply bring the
dirt from the bitches upon the road bed, which
should never be piowcl up or disturbed. A pub
lie road should be 80 feet from outside 90 outside
Of bitches. highest in the centre. aud curving
gradually % the outside Of the bitches. The road
bed THAT Is the part between the inside Of the
ditchesl should be % feet wide. The ditchcs
should be 5 feet wide and one foot deep on the
outside, and deeper. IL necessary. with sufficient
grade o. draw OF the water. otherwise there will
be n bad. muddy ROAD. Now with such road the
bed u solid. and the soil scrapcd top will soon
pack and become hard. There l. no danger in
being tipped over. and travel Is not Obliged To
follow In single rut. as II must In n narrow road.
Dry roads mean good bitches. To I'll up mud
holes without draining Is simply putting In more
dirt to make more mud.
