RAILWAY NOTES.
ogdensDurg g. Lake champlain.

The Ogdensburg Journal has the following
to say concerning the newly elected president
of this road:
"Walter l.. Frost, the new president OF the
Ogdensburg & Lake Cbamplain Railroad Com
pany is in town, and expects to remain month
or six weeks looking after the Interests OF his
company, which naturally centres here, so as
to gain thorough knowledge OF the things to
be done TO increase the business OF his road
and make 1t an important link in one OF the
great lines stretching from the Pacific TO the
Atlantic. He represents the progressive spirit
which has recently been infused into the Og-
densburg & Lake Champlain Company, and
which is building the new bridge at Rouse's
Point and the link at Swanton, so as to give 1t
better connection with the network OF New
England roads and direct line to the seaboard
at Portland. This same progressive spirit will
bridge tho Oswegatrhie here, and give the Og-
densbuFg & Lake Champlain direct connection
by rail with all points west and the Canadian
Pacific railroad at Morristown and Brockyille.
In consideration OF his large and enterprsing
ideas, his energy and push, the pioneer steam
or OF the new line OF large lake freight and
passenger boats in the new Ogdensburg &c
Transit line, has taken his name. This new
boat will shortly make her appearance here,
and will mark an important era in the future
history OF Ogdensburg."

Washburn
In October, 1865, a few of the BUSINESS men
aud merchants of Portland held a meeting in
the Exchange in that city to see what could
be done to place steamer on the route from
Portland to MacAias. There were three or four
citizens Of Machias present. Previous to the
meeting it had been arranged for some of the
Machias men and some of the Portland men
to state opinions as to the feasibility
of such movement and probable results.
Meanwhile it had been suggested that Mr..
Washburn when canvassing the political field
in his earlier days, had become acquainted
with the people in Hancock and thas western
part of Washington county. He wR cent for
and the last to speak to the meeting on the
steamboat question.
In his earnest, clear, positive manner he set
forth the business of the shore towns in the
two counties IN strong light. Said he, Gen
tlemen, l tell you it would be bard to find
a similar number of people anywhere, who
would make more business Tor your proposed
steamboat route, than these people"
When Mr.. Washburn closed his remarks we
felt certain that the steamboat was a sure
thing, and it 60 proved; besides all he stated
proved true by experience.-Mdchids Union.

The Handy Pistol.

There is quite too free Use OF the
Eocket pistol when in the hands of many
officers, who are appointed as prr>erv-
ers of the peace. 1t may be necessar,
for officers to carry some other kind of
arms than a club, or in polite words a
baton, but if those other arms be pis-
tolls, they should be placed in the hands
OF discreet. judicious men, who would
not be tempted to use them upon e> cry
trivial pretext Hot headed, impulsive
men should at no time be entrusted
with the carrying pistols; in fact, such
men should not be appointed to posi-.
tons of responsibility where it become,
necessary to carry pistols to
enforce the authority of law
and as means of defense. A few
years agoa little girl was killed on
Church street by the reckless shooting
OF hut headed sergeant of police, who
was pursuing person for whom he had
u warrant of arrest. The shooting was
entirely inexcusable, as the otfense, if
we recollect right, was trihing one. AT
any rate, he was not murderer escap-
1ng from arr1st nor did he offer any re-
sistance that warranted the use of a pis
tol for the sake of protection. Even
had he been the worst kind of a crimi-
nal it were better that he should escape
than that an innoct mt little girl should
be killed by wind ra ndom pistol shot
fired by IN eXcitab'e policeman. The
decisions of our courts in such cases are
that nobody. not even an officer of the
law, has any right TO ire pistol either
with the intention .fkilling or wound
ihg anyone, except in Self-defence.-
Better by far thar a trivial infraction of
the law should go UNPUBLISHED than tc
have such reckless shooting in the
streets as was practlced couple of
mornings ago We regret very much
that It becomes our province to protest
against such AT iuexcuSable use of the
pistol, becau.e in doing NO we censure
an officer who is entitled To protection
in the dis .harge of his duties. But we

feelings Of mingled anger and revenge
that his better Judgment was overcome |
Had the fleeing uan been an escaping
