CHURCH PROPERTY AND TAXATION.
CoLuMBrs, O.. March 4.-There hsS been
little of interest at this Capital for a week
or so in legislative circles, except that
which is local in its effect.
A New Railroad.
There is a strong push being made to
secure a competing line OF railway
into the Hooking valley from this
city. 1t is but recently that the i'm.
mcnse resources of that particular
region OF Ohio have come conspicuously
into notice. The Hooking VALLEY Gang,
as they are denominated, have proved
grasping and selfish set Of cold.blooded
fnanciers. They wrung out OF farmers,
other people who had few hundred dol
lars Of property. subscriptions to the capi.
tai stock OF the road, forced them TO pay II.
and delivered them the stock. They made
more promises TO the people so subscribing
than the devil made to our Lord and Master
when he took him UP into the mountain,
and showed him his boundless real estate.
After, the "gang" received the peoples
money for building the road, they got up
q little syndicate, watered the stock ana

Walter Brooks, one OF the largest coal OPP
orators, went 10 Mr.. Green and asked him:
"What rate will you give me on 2,OoO,0oo

Green, what are you going TO sell your
coal for?" Thus absolutely debating the
