The fact that the centre of popula-

westward only about fifty miles in ten
years will surprise many intelligent
people who imagine that the West is
growing SO fast that traveller hard

that even in the original thirteen
States there are millions of fertile
acres waiting for some one to till
them. Wherever good soil joins with
special business and social facilities
the old inhabitants are not going to

A RAILROAD REMoNsTRANCE.


THE FIRST ATTEMPT AT A PUBLIC
OPPOSITION TO THE DELAWARE
WESTERN BILL.
The first attempt to create public
opposition to the Delaware Western
Railroad bill, now pending before the
Legislature. was remonstrance, which
was read in the House of Representa-
tives yesterday morning. 1t read as
follows:
We, the subscribers, citizens of the
Safe of Delaware, regard as danger"
GUS to the interests of our people. the
eff,Tts of certain private parties to
obtain from your Honorable body, GER
tain amendments to the charter of the
Delaware Western Railroad Company
in order to secure said persons, very
valuable franchises of this State, for
the purpose of disposing of the same
to interests foreiOn to the State and
opposed to the welfare of our peo-
pie.
Therefore, we do respectfully re-
monstrate against the passage oil this
or any other bill that will cause the
valuable franchises of our people to be
transferred to foreign corporations,
and as in duty bound your petitioners
will ever pray, &c.
Appended to this remonstrance were
about $50 signatures, headed by the
Joseph Teas Company, and followed
by the names of number of the p,
w. & b. II. II. Co.'s employees, and a
lot of boys. Some Of the names were
obtained by false pretense, man
named George Walker, who was en-
gagged in circulating the remonstrance
having represented it to humber OF
persons as a petition in favor of the
Delaware Western bill. This was the
case at Z Ii. Barr's cigar store, Eighth
and Shipley streets, where Mr. Barr
and about a dozen others signed the
paper on Walkers representation that
it was o Delaware Western petition,
without taking the precaution of read
ing it.
