of Gen. Robertson for Collector of

admonished the President that, I'M

a relentless war would be declared
between him self and Garfield. The
President very promptly gave the
great New York Senator to under

sion of these important necessities
by the press has already attracted
the attention and enlisted the con-
Germ of monied men, and it is fair

her stand beside the great State of

about healthy reaction in the ma

Another New Ohio Railroad.

MACARTHUR, ONO, June 25.-En-
gineers Of the Cincinnati. Hooking
Valley and Huntington Railroad are
now engaged in surveying a prelimi-
nary line for the road through this
county. We understand that the
road is to be narrow-guage, and
that after leaving Cincinnati runs to
Fayetteville, in Brown County;thenc
TO Hillsboro: from Hillsboro it goes to
Chillicothe, passing through Balm
bridge and Bonneville, and for some
distance following the line of the
Dayton and Southeastern: from Gin
cinnati the route takes a northeast
erly direction, passing through this
county and terminating at Flood
wood, in Athens county. The bonds
of the road have been sold to Boston
capitalists, who are interested in coal
lands in Athens and adjoining coun-
ties. Mr.. Henry 7. Niles, of Urbana,
the contractor for the road, is now in
this place, and says that the road
will be pushed 10 completion as rap

Organization as n Motor for our
Railroad Projects.

The unusual amount Of railroad
prospecting in this State during the
present season, has not yet so far as
we know, resulted in closing any
contract for the construction of a
road.
1t is true that the building of any
railroad is a formidable undertaking,
requiring great deliberation and a
calm and comprehensive calculation
of the resources necessary for the
work. We are so unfortunately sit
uatcd in West Virginia that we are
unable to build our own roads; the
best we can do being to help others
in a small way, to build them for US.
1t would, however; very much ia
ciliat6 our railroad projects and give
character and effect to these various
local movements if there were a more
systematic organization of the men
and the means which can be muster.

there is no one who has any special

Quoting the matter beyond this point,
where it frequently rests and the
subscription lapses by length of time.
1t wouidf~e say, give character to
these movements and put them up
on business basis which would lead
TO the consummation of the enter
prises where they now fail; if the &C.
tive men in the several counties
where these projects are on foot, would
organize themselves into railroad
companies, for the purpose of con-

most practical route or prescibed
