Quite number of Pennsylvania
newspapers have been exhibiting
their indignation over the sale Of
panpers in West Virginia, on the
auction block, to the person who
would keep them for the smallest
price, but it is one of the scandals of
our own State that this infamous
system was the rule in many coun.
ties up to a very recent date, and
may be yet in Carbon and the north.
eastern section. That it is has been
broken up is entirely due to the work
of the State Board Of Charities, to
which the Legislature recently re.
fused to make paltry appropriation
to continue its self.sacrilicing labors.
1t is true that the auction block in
the disposition of paupers is strange
to the State, but the system which

lowest bidder is on the same plan

The defect in Grants greatness as
a military leader was that he some
times lost his temper and gave i'm
prudent orders. After the exasper-
ating defense that Lee offered to
Grants march through the Wilder
ness, confronting Grant always on
the entrenched lines, they reached
the Chickahominy, and there Grant
found Lee, few hours ahead of him,
behind feldworks. Then Grant got
angry and ordered a general advance,
in which 5000 Of his. brave men
were killed in about an hour and a
half-and gained nothing. The
Grant-Conkling meeting at the Fifth
avenue Hotel last week showed that
Grant has lost his temper again and

the greatest bitterness, and said that
it would disgrace New York not to

grand and profound motives were as
cribed to him while he kept his
mouth shut. He showed his true

The Consolidation Ratified BY
the Ohio Central.

A special to the Enquirer, from
Toledo, Ohio, dated June 18th says:
The Ohio Central people, as well as
citizens generally, are jubilant this
evening over the Ohio Central meet
ing today, although the action was
mainly a matter dfsform, and had
already been anticipated according
to announcement. The meeting Of
the stockholders Of the Company was
held at the general Office in this
city this afternoon f9r the purpose of
'ratifying the consolidation of the
Ohio Central Railroad Company of
Ohio, the Atlantic and Northwest
ern Railroad Company of West vir.
ginia, and the Richmond and Ale
ghany Railroad Company Of Virgin
ia, under the name Of the Richmond,
Allegheny and Ohio Central Rail
road Company. Eighty.seven thous.
and and ninety.nine shares out of
one hundred and twenty thousand
were voted, all in favor of the con.
solidation. No votes were cast
against it. The stockholders of the
other roads have already ratified the
consolidation, and it is now an &C.
complished fact. A joint meeting
Of The stockholders of the three roads,
or rather of the Richmond, Allegha.
ny and Ohio Central Railroad, is yet
to be held for the election of Board
OF thirteen Directors. It will re.
main for this Board to elect the off.
GERS of the new Company, and it is
impossible to cay what the result Of
the election will be. 1t is not at all
likely, however, that there will be
any material change at present.
There is gap of $50 miles between
the Ohio Central and the Richmond
and Allegheny Roads, which will
have to be built before they can be
operated as continuous line; and
until that is done they will be oper-
ated in divisions about the same as
heretofore, though as one organiza-
tion. The work of closing the gap
will be commenced within a short
time, and pushed forward toan early
completion.
