FEARS are expressed by soma that
we would not get the road If the
subscription is voted. Then if we
don't we will have nothing to pay,
and will therefore lose nothing.
But we have taken occasion dur
ing all this discussion to talk with
the Directors and officers OF the road
and We are decidedly Of opinion that
the road will be built if the sub
scription 10 voted.
l, 10 said by come that the road
cannot be built without a second
subscription from the District. This
Is nonsense. The Constit ution does
not permit us to vote more than FIVE
per cent. upon the assessed valua-
ton OF the property of the District.
The amount proposed to be voted is
not quite that much, but 90 near il
that second subscription cannot be
made. Such suggestion, therefore,
is absurd.
With the amount OF private cub
scriptions now made and assured
and the District subscription pro-
posed to be made, the Company will
be able to guarantee the completion
of the road.

THERE seems row no reason to
doGbt that King@ood District wilt,
by a large majority, vote the sub
scriptioL to the Kipgwood Railway
Company. When the matter was
first mentioned many persous oppos-
ed the voting of the subscription
because they did not fully uuder-
stand the matter and were afraid
that the taxes would be largely in
creased; but since the matter has
been discussed it has been made
very plain that the increase in tax
alton will be v'ry light, aud as com
pared with the benefits to be de-
rived will be as nothing.
Our people would commit the mis-
take Of their lives should they vote
down this subscription. They would
by such action discourage the enter.
pIising men who have formed the
Company and subscribed money to
aid in the building Of the road.
To defeat this proposition would
be by one act Of the people of the
District to place US more than ten
years backward, and say to people
who would otherwise come here and
live among us that there is nothing
here to induce immigration; that
there lie no timber, coal, or iron ore
In short that there is nothing here
that would be worth the attention oil
men OF thrift aad energy.
We are sure there is not man in
the District who believes any such
thing; yet there are few who
want to be advertised as holding
such opinions.
We confess that the opposition to
this subscription has surprised and
astonished us. All want the road
all see the urgent necessity for it
nearly all admit that the rad will
be Of incalculable benefit to the Dis.
trict nearly all say that we have
rich deposits of iron ore, thousands
OF acres Of coking coal, and millions
of feet OF fine timber; and yet
some oppose the Railroad.
the objections urged by the op-
position have been answered - an
swered to the satisfaction OF any
reasonable man.
There remains absolutely no foot
ing for the opposition. We have
confidence in the people of the Dis
trict and believe they will so safely
guard their own interests as 20 vote
this subscription.

II is a popular delusion in our
State, says the Wheeling Register OF
Tuesday last. to consider a subscrip.
tion to tie bui ding OF a railroad in
the nature Of gift for the benefit
Of company or corporation. Our
people are accustomed to regard it
in much the same light that they
would . public subscription to set
up an individual or a firm in the
drygoods or grocery business or a
company to establish manufactorv
The relations of railroad to the
masses of the people are very differ
ent from any other kind of business.
1t may be owned and operated by
and for ths benefit Of company as
any mercantile business is done, but
that does not divest the railroad of
its public character and the com mu-
nifty of interest which the company
operating it and the people who use
1t have in the road.
When o county subscribes to the
building Of railroad it is nothing
more nor lees than an Investment in
the stock OF that road-and this is
so whether the SUBJ cription is an
absolute gift or purchase oil stock.
1t cannot be otherwise under our
laws. The property must be taxed
by the express terms of the Consti-
tuition. The tax comes back to the
people. 1t comes back as interest
on the investment. 1t ia the same
as if that much money had been in
vested by the county In bank stocks,
or loaned to company On interest.
1t ls better; for the bank may break
or fail to pay dividends, and the
company may fail or be in default on
The interest; bnt when subscrip-
ton is made to a railroad it is in ef-
feet an investment in real estate,
which lie something always tangible
and within reach of the process of
tie law, aDd the county has first
lein or 1t for it's taxes Its interest
on the eu oscription.

SOME persons express apprehension
that the road when partly construct.
ed will be mortgaged. 1t must be
remembered that the District will
be the largest stakeholder and will,
by Its agent, participate in the cleo
ton OF Directors, and the road can
not be mortgaged without the con-
sent OF the Directors chosen by the
District and others, and we under
stand that the Company will guar
antee that tho read shall not be
mortgaged unless the District. by ita
agent, consents to its being
done.

LEERMAys' opposition is that he is
elegantly fixed and opposes the rail-
road subscription purely from seIfsh
considerations. Mr.. SHAW runs the
whole gamut by repeating the pure
ly Imaginary statements OF disastrous
Investments in mythica! railroads
somewhere in the West, aud il
he may be said TO have
demonstrated any thing, it is the
fallacy OF the notion that figures
won't iie.''

THERE are strong reasons to be-
lieye that the proposed road will not
stop at Kingwood. 1t is known
that Grant, Pleasant and Portland
Districts will vote on the first OF
June to subscribe 100000 toward
the construction of a road from
Fairchance, Pa, across through this
county, by way of Brandonville and
Bruceton down to the mouth of
Muddy Greek, and thence to the
Baltimore and Ohio Road. Now, it
is only about three or four miles to
the mouth of Muddy Creek from
KiDgwood, and if the subscription ia
voted and the road built from here
to Thhnelton, the road will be ex-
tended from this place to the mouth
of Muddy Greek, and thus secure a
through line from Tunnelton to the
Pennsylvania Road, and thence to
Pittsburgh. This would be OF such
vast benefit to this county and State
that we should use our utmost en-
deavors to bring it about.

A SHIP canal across the Michigan
Peninsula nearly $50 miles long is
one Of the projects which have been
brought before Congress at this sess.
ION. Toe entering wedge is a very
thin one-only $4,000 for a prelim-
mary survey. The usual argument
10 regard to moving the crops is
urged with great sarnestness, but as
this may have a mercantile rather
than Government bearing, it is also
argued that such a canal would be
enormously valuable as military
route in case Of war With Grear
Britain. The number of supposi-
tons which it 10 necessary to create
and connect in order to sustain thi,
allegation Of the vast strstegioaI
value Of such a canal is very great.
The cost Of the waterway would b..
enormous, and it is difFicnlt to see

come from; but the impulse seems to
be universal, just now wherever a
peninsula is observed, to cut il.

She was devout Methodist, and
throwing physic to the dogs, she en-
gagged with her pastor and friends In
daily and almost hourly prayer. She

cottages are built, and hot els are en-
larged. Trsinways now furnish con-

generally about sixteen hands
high and very thin, and the other not

A New York correspondent says, the
disposal of the Hebrew refugees from
Russia, who are arriving there by the
thousands has become very serious
PROBLEM. The European countries
seem to think themselves rid of all re-
sponsibility when tLey ship the refu-
gees to America, and the poor people
often arrive here with extravagant ex-
pectations resulting in bitter disap-
pointments. Many are physically un.
able to do the hard manual labor which
is about all that poor unskilled immi-
grants can get to do.
Some seem to think that they have q
right to be cared for without self
and agents of relief societies have been
assaulted by ignorant immigrants, who
imagined that the rich bounties which
they had expected to descend upon
them in America were kept back from
them by trickery. Such cases are,
however, exceptional, and the majority
OF the immigrants are anxious to be-
come self.supporting.
There could be no better evidence Of
their willingness to work than the ease
with which the railroad companies have
been able to get as many of them as
were wanted to take the places of the
striking freight-haDdlers. These i'm.
migrants are townsfolk, habituated to
mercantile dealings, and no more hard
or repulsiVs tasks could be contrived
for them than to act them at pulling |
about heavy cases and bales.
The zeal with which the immigrants
to ft themselves to the re-
Quirements Of their ew sphere of action
indicates qualities of character such as
60 to mako people great. The He
brew population of New York are act.
ing nobly and generously under cir
of great difficulty. They
have formed a relief society, which is
doing effective work in caring for the
refugees, although the expenses are
very heavy. Its work is purely philan.
thropio and patriotic, as the State au.
would be bound to look after
the refugees If they did not. II
Strenuous efforts are made to draw
off as largea proportion of the immi-
grants as possible into agricultural
pursuits, for there are more than enough
small Jewish traders In New York. I
