THERE is nothing like being exact +,
especially when you are on the witness
stand. JAMES CAREY, the informer, is
a great stickler for preciseness of state
mention some points. At the first
trial of TIMOTHY KELLY, Dir. SULLI-
VAN, the prisoners counsel, reproached
CAREY with having, by his own ad-
mission, taken part in a score Of at
tempts upon Mr.. FORSTER'S life. There
upon CAREY, shocked, no doubt, at the
exaggeratiOn, interrupted with cor
rection, at was only nineteen" There
were, it seems, no fewer than twenty
two distinct attempts to asssssiuste
Mr.. FORSTER. Ofthese, CAREY missed
three and was present at nineteen. The
informer also objected to having the
project to shoot the Secretary described
as plot to kill, basing his objection
upon the ground that, even If fired at,
Mr.. FORSTER might only have been
wounded. For q third point, CAREY
held that he was perfectly justified in
going to the sacrament on March 3,
though he was then engaged in a muir
derous conspiracy, because up to that
time the steps taken were merely pre-
liminary, and nothing had been really
accomplished. 1t will be seen that the
infamous approver is a preciSian to the
ends Of his fingers.

IL II Right.

But the Constitution is right. "A law
that compels Q huge railroad corporation,
though exempted by Republican legisla.
ton, 70 pay itsshare of the public burthsn
cannot be termed unwise or unjust The
truth Il that apart from the amount de.
rived from the Chesapeake and Ohio K. X.
by the operation Of this decision, which Is
nearly $50, 900 per annum, and from the
various coal mines, oil and salt wells, iron
furnaces and rolling mills, there will be
very little increase in the taxable proper
ty of the farming and agricultural class.
OF course the Radical press, notably among
which is the Preston County Journal, would
have the people believe that the revenue
obtained in this manner will not only
be enormous, but that it will be
particularly oppressive upon the farming
interests. The fallacy OF this assertion can
not be better shown than by citing the es-
timated increase in the value Of personal
property in Preston county. By listing all
the property in that county, the increase
will be about 5000. from which, at the
present rate of 25 cents on each 800, the
State will receive the munifcent sum OF
SIS. Preston county has a population Of
10000, so that each man, woman and child
in that county will have to pay less than
one mill. At any rate. and We doubt if il
will be exceeded. the entire population o.
our State. placing it at 100000, will have
to pay into the treasury the enormous
sum of about 500, one-fiftieth of the
amount which one corporation-the c. &
R.R-will be compelled to pay.

county have determ' ned that they can
not afford to Guild q railroad, although
1t Is rs much q necessity to the life and
prosperity of the town as are the streets
which afford communication between
the residents themselves.
We thought there was an unusually
fair prospect for the road. The Journal
says that at this time there are on the
books of the company 1000 shares Of
stock at $50 each subscribed, amount
ing to $4,000. Fully $3.50 of this, 1t
is concluded, are good, collectable Sc
curities. There are some others besides
these. There have been expended the
following amounts: Engineering,
Sl,645.SO; right Of way, Sl5s.5o; miseel-
Ianeous, SI7. 95; total, SlS51.75. About
25 miles were surveyed, and five miles
permanently located. The company
has a map of the route, profile, plans
and specifications.
After so nearly maturing a project OF
this kind ii seems like suicide to aban-
don il, and we think the citizens Of
Preston will, on second thought, so
conclude. We hope to see them build
the road.

The temperance movement has
taken a strange shape in Washington,
where it has developed a form that will
evoke the opposition of large part of
the church element, which makes AO
inconsiderable proportion of the sup
port given all temperance work. The
Washington development is a demand
for the opening of the National muse
ne, the Congressional library, the
United States botanical garden, the
Conservatives of the Agricultural De-
partnents and the Medical museum on
Sundays, which is urged by the tenn
perance people, because sit is a shame
there is no place open for visitors on
Sundays except bar-rOoms." Naturally,
this movement has met with hearty
support from the wOrkingmen's asso-
Citations, but there is no chance to make
any present Roadway except in Great
ing public sentiment, since none of the
institutions named can be opened on
Sunday without express legislative au-
thOrity from Congress.

NO REDUCTION.

The best informed sources are now
conceding that Notwithstanding the re-
ductiOn on the tobacco tax made in the
bill Of the last session, the revenue from
that article for the month of May will
be as great as for the corresponding
month of last year; and it is believed
further that the whole internal revenue
product for the current fiscal year will
be nearly as great as 1t was in the last
and this although the taxes on bank
deposits, perfumery, cosmetics, matches
and patent medicin IS have been abol-
ished.
The steady increase in the popula-
ton of the country-about 800, 900
goes far towards maintaining the reve-
nue. receipts in spite of reduced taxes.
The consumption is steadily increasing,
and this increased consumption oftaxed
articles partially annuls the effect of
diminished tax rates. AT the end zof
the present fiscal year, on Jnue 80, the
surplus revenue will be nearly as great
as it was last year; and even next year,
when the new tariff and internal reve-
nue. act shall have gone fully into
effect, the falling off in the surplus will
not probably be more than $4,000, 900
TO $40, 900, 900, leaving still surplus OF
Sll5, 200, OOO-and this will grow, year
after year, with the growth of pOpula-
ton.
With these facts already apparent,
the policy that will govern a Demo-
cratic Congress is made equally plain.
When the next Congress opens, the
House will be Democratic and the Sem
ate Republican. In the action of the
H, use the country will look for the
Democratic National platform of 1881;
and in the action of the Senate it will
look for the opposite platform. This i
inevitable, and perfectly fair. What a
party promises to do when it gets into
power is not half as much to be relied
on as an indication of its policy as what
it actually does when in power.
The two parties that are to stand
face to face in the next Presidential
contest will previously stand face to
face in the FOrty-eighth Congress; and
the country, without waiting for the
regularly proclaimed platforms, will
look to the House and the Senate re-
spectively to learn what Democracy is,
and what RePublicanism is on the
practical questions of the day.
We have no doubt but the Demo-
Gratis will insist upon reduction of this
surplus, and upon the largest measure of
relief to the whole people. This policy
is already so clearly enforced by the
facts we have stated above that there
can be but one opinion about It among
men who desire to legislate Cor the good
of the country.

A RAILROAD PROJECT OFF THE
TRACK

The kingwOOd railway appeareth to
be dead and stltfand cold. Folks who
delight i'm being known as prophets of
evil will now say, "Well, / told you
So" But it takes a great deal of pa
thence To get to Heaven and to build a
railrOad.-PcStOR Comfy Journal.
The above is the announcement
which follows a meeting held at King
wood last week, at which the question
of either building OF formally abandon
ing the proposed railroad from King
wood to Tunnelton, was to be deter
mined.
This is bad backSet for the wealthy
and otherwise promising little town of
KingwOOd. 1t is a step hardly in keep
ing with the tenor Of ambition and pro-
gress in West Virginia at the present
time. We had hoped that the day had
gore by in this State when we should
hear Of railroad projects failing, and
that We had gotten down to real road
building as we seem to have done in
most instances where they have been
sgitated.
KingwOOd is a beautiful town, with
an intelligent population and more Of
wealth than belongs to most West Vir-
ginia towns. 1t is located but ten
miles off the b. & o. railroad, and it
was only this distance that was neees-
sary to be covered in order to connect
it by rall with that road and with the
outside world. Yet that distance keeps
it IS effectually in the back
ground, and in stagnant condition
so far as growth and business are con.
cerned, as if itwere five times ten miles.
With ten miles Of railroad the town
would sping Immediately into new life.
Tourists would seek it in the Summer
season as a point Of almost unriyaled
beauty and salubrity, and in the
winter time, instead of being frozen in
and cut OFF from communication, the
snow ard ice and mnd would consti-
tute DO interruption to business.
But the people Of KingwoOd and the
