THE Cleveland papers report that
steps are being taken looking to the con-
solidation of various lines of narrow
gauge railways in northeastern Ohio.
some of which are emily partially COM
pleted. and that part of the arrange
melt contemplated is the extension of
the Connection Valley road, now being
operated south to Carrollton, to the Ohio
river Boston capitalists are said to be
1t the head of the enterprise, and we are
told it has plenty of money at its back.
Coal seems to be the objective point, and
in addition to line reaching the river
somewhere down here, another will
branch off through Coshocton and Zanes-
vile to the Athens coal fields, and an
other line will be run from Youngstown
into Pittsburgh.
Any one who will look at the map
and inform himself Of the resources and
business of Belmont county and the city
of Wheeling, must concede that the Con-
notion Valley extension should reach
the river at Wheeling. The coal fields
of this county are much superior to
those of any other in this part Of
Ohio. On its river front are three pros
porous towns. having population in
excess of that of Steubenville, while
directly opposite them is city three
times as large as Steubenyille, and these
four towns, together, do more manufae-
turing and shipping than any dozen
towns between Pittsburgh and Cincin-
natl.
A committee of Steubenville people is
looking after the interest of that town,
bnt no steps have been taken, so far as
we are advised, to present the adyant-
ages Of this part of the country for a
terminus. From Carrollton to Bowers.
ton, on the Panhandle road, is about
twenty miles, thence to Cadiz fifteen
miles. This part of the line is up the
Connotton Valley, where a line of road
could be cheaply built, and presents No
engineering difficulties. From Cadiz a
good line can be found either via. New
Athens or Harrisville to the valley OF
Wheeling creek, and thence to Bridge
port and Wheeling. That part of the
line between Cadiz and Wheeling would
be much more difficult to build than the
other, but it would tap good country,
and no doubt material aid could be OBJ
tanned, and when built would do good
local and through business.
This matter is deserving attention at
the hands of the people of our river
towns. Whether or not the present
management extend the line of the Con-
notion Valley, the extension is one
which is likely to be built at no distant
day, and, as we have suggested. the
Bowerst0n and Cadiz route is the natur-
al line.

RICHARD GRANT WHITE should come
out to Ohio and deliver few lectures
on the use of the English language. Not
only the common folks, but some of the
distinguished statesmen who occupy
high places at the state capitol, it seems,
are sadly deficient in grammar. In the
Bellaire papers we find an advertisement
signed by John f. Oglevee, Auditor of
State, Charles Townsend, Secretary of
State, and Geo. K. Nash, Attorney Cen
eral," which proposes to receive at the
office of the former sealed proposals for
the safe of the tobacco warehouse at
Bellaire. And, then, our Prohibition
friends over in Harrison county resolve
that they favor the prohibition of "the
manufacture and sale" of intoxicating
liquors.
Too many people who write for the
press are inexcusably careless in the use
of language. There is some excuse for
those who ordinarily draft resolutions
for county convention, hence we can
infer that the Prohibition brethren
meant to say that they favored the pro-
hibition of 1.-The manufacture or sale" of
intoxicating liquors, without getting out
of patience with them entirely; but
when trio of great state officers state
in written notice that, "in pursuance
of an act of the general assembly we
will receive sealed proposals for the
sale of the tobacco warehouse" &C., it is
calculated to pruvokesaf explosion in
all well regulated newspaper Offices.

TIE Ohio Republican Convention will
meet at Cleveland to-day "wednesday
There will be 80 contest over any Of the
nominations except that for Lieutenant
Governor and Judge of the Supreme
Court. The choice for these places is
uncertain, but we have some hope that
Mr.. Richards, of Steubenville, may pull
through for the first place, although the
opposition he is meeting at home rem
ders this very doubtful. Two exception
ally good men are named for Judge
John S. Brazee, of Lancaster, and Will
liam II. Upson, of Akron. Other candi-
dates are named, but we take it for
granted one of these two will be nOmi-
mated.
There. will, no doubt. be some differ
ence of opinion as to what shall be ex-
pressed i'll the resolutions concerning
the temperance question and the rupture
between the administration and the New
York Senators. Public opinion seems
to have crystalized in favor of what is
known as the Pond bill, the features of
which were explained in these columns
last winter, and it is likely the conven-
tion will embody something like that in
its resolutions. We presume the con-
vention will endorse the administration
in ageneral way, but will not specifcal-
| ly take a hand in the quarrel between
the Secretary of State and Senator Conk-
ling Some curiosity is expressed to see
the speech of senator Sherman, who is
expected to preside and make a speech.

About COrn.

New YORK, October 4-On early
Change to-day the corn market was
very much depressed and unsettled,
the market declining 1ia2 cents per
bushel, by the reported failure of
several large brokers in corn in Chi
cago. The sales of corn before and
at the first call aggregate about
2,3000,000 bushels.
CHICAGO, October 4.-The report
that John B. Lyon, the heaviest ship
per of corn in this market, was short
about 100000 of bushels created
almost panic on the Change. He
was said to have been called on for
one million margin last night and
1ailed to respond. This fact and the
acton of the board of directors fix
ing the marginal price of corn at 81
cents broke the backbone of the corn
market and all other grains sold
down in sympathy.
