The lealing political event OF the time
has led 20 very general discussion of
the character o. Hon. RoSCoE CoNSLISG,
and variety OF opinion has been de
veloped as to his abilities as man and
a statesman. We are glad to be able to
present an authoritative opinion upon
this subject from 4 source so impartial
that il will scarcely be questioned, and
ought, We think, 10 settle the matter as
20 Mr.. CoSTIING's high order Of ability
beyond all dispute. The fact that this
opinion was published before the resig.
nation Of Mr. CoNXLING IRON the Sem
ate, aud even before the assembling Ct
the Chicago Convention, should detract
nothing from its weight We quote
from the editorial correspondence of the
Wheelin. IisNgRcsr, written from
Washington, March %, 1850:
ain regard to the distiHg uished men
N the National Capital, there might be
n difference OF opinion as to who the
GREAT men are. For instance some men,
Hersof Congress, who are quite distin.
o,nshed at home, are scarcely heard OF
here. But Of course there are some
persons about whom everybody is
agreed. For instance in the United
States Senate, everybody agrees that
Conkliny, Thurman, Blaine and Ed
munds are very distinguished OF these
four, Conkling is he man whom theayer-
age visitor cares most 10 hear. Edmunds
and Thurman are the men whom the
LAWYERS like 10 hear. Blaine is,of course,
a man who interests everybody. Conk-
ling is terrific man in debate. lie

Conkling. Blaine hays thGm out with
polieeman's club-knocks them do Sn as
fast as they come at him, and knocks
the same man down again and again.
Conkling literally carves his enemy mp
with a sword that has an edge as ke n
and remorseless as Q Damascus blade.

The friends OF General GRANT say
that neither he nor they can ever, un
der any circumstances, forgive President
GARFIELD. They say that Gen. GRANT
was inveigled into the White House
with the invitation TO social breakfast
and asked with particular air OF friend
illness whether he had any requests to
make; that the purpose was to Detray
him into giving information as to how
he could best be snubbed, as the only
two requests he made were ruthlessly
disregarded. And GARFIELD seems,
too, to have gotten all the information
he wanted for the snubbing business in
other directions. He has been quite as
effective in snubbing the whole GRANT
crowd. That, at present, looks like the
chief end of this administration. Now,
let GRANT come here from Mexico and
tell us what he is going to do about it

THE W., r. q q. nAILRoAD AZ An
lNyHBTMEEp.

We have seen it stated By ore OF our
State exchanges that the route OF the
Wheeling, Petersburg and Charleston
railroad win haye an average grade
Of only 81 inches to the mile.
We do not know how accurate
this estimate may be, but we are all
aware that the route along the
Ohio river bottom from Wheeling 70
Huntington is practically dead level.
II this road is put under contract TINS
season, as it doubtless will be. consider
ing the even grade and the low price o.
r.ilroad material, it will be built cheaper
than any other road or part oil Ia railroad
was ever before constructed within the
State.
With this fact to start on, the w. r
& G. railroad ought to become the mos
valuable railroad stock in the State. II
passes through rich, productive eoun
try in its entire length. The dis
lance between Wheeling and Char
lsston includes larger proper
ton of the population of West Virgins
than could be reached by any
other line OF railroad OF the same
length within the State. The road
will reach, besides the popula
ton of the terminal cities OF Wheeling
and Charleston, the fiourishin2 towns
Of Eenwood, Moundsville, New Mar
tinsyille, st. Mary's, Parkersburg, Ra
yenswood, Hartford City and otheI
towns within easy communication with
the line. The several counties through
which it runs contain l64,S77 people
or about one-iourth the population o
the State, and perhaps one-halt it
wealth.
Leaving out OF consideration the lac,
that the terminal connections will Civ
the road a large through traffic,
is safe to predict that the local trafii
alone will make the road a profitable in
yestment, and with the addition OF tn
through traffic, it ought to pay hand
some DIVIDENDS. The Eastern capital
lists who want the bonds Of this road
evidently know a good thing when the,

IS thelpresent crisis it seems to be

men can be sent to take his place, We
