Railroad News.

In conversation with reporter for the
Cleveland Plain Dealer day or two since, a
gentleman OF prominence connected with the
railroad interests of the country said: II do
not think that scheme has been half unfolded
yet. Most reports have it that the road is to
and have accepted as foregone conclusion
that the road when constructed would i'm
mediately pass into the hands of the Balti-
more and Ohio company and be operated as
part of their system. think both these
statements will be found to be incorrect. l
think the Ohio railway will not stop at
Chicago Junction, nor will it be operated by
the Baltimore and Ohio. In fact l can say
that the contract on which all the subscrip-
tions along the line were secured specifies
that the road shall be built to Tifin, and 1
think without doubt that it will be so built.
Once at Tifin, the chances of obtaining q
connection are doubled, as the Indiana,
Bloomington and Western as well as the
Baltimore and Ohio centers there. But that
is not all. A few miles away, across the
country, is Defiance, located on the Wabash.
Everybody knows that under the old manage
ment the Wabash was anxious to secure an
eastern connection. The same reasons still
exist, and to my certain knowledge neg6tia-
tions have been opened looking to lease or
other arrangements by which the Wabash
can secure an outlet eastward over the Ohio
railway to Akron and Pittsburg and Western
to Pittsburg. So you see that by moving on
to Tifin the chances are numerously increas-
ed. Besides there is nothing to stop for at
Chicago Junction. A town should never
have been located there in the first place. If
the Ohio railway goes to Tiffin I predict that
the Baltimore and Ohio will move its shops
there in another year"
The Tif6n Advertiser then goes on to say:
In regard to the probable Wabash connec-
ton, this gentleman overlooks the fact that
from Tifin to Napoleon. the bed of the old
Coldwater road is already graded, and that
the connection with the Wabash system at
tie latter place would be the most natural
because the cheapest and most convenient
1t has been thought probable, also, that the
proposed new road would be made part of
the Vanderbilt system, connecting with the
Nickelplate at Arcadia, about fifteen miles
west of this city, and eastward from Akron
by the Pittsburg and Western and Southern
Pennsylvania, the latter being contemplated
as a rival of the Pennsylvania line for the
through traffic between the East and the
West.

notice or information was given to any Of
of them at the time, nor has there been since;
and the only knowledge that any one of this
vast number of creditors ever had or now
has, is what they may learn on the streets or
by going to the Clerks Office after our court
adjourns, and then learning what has been
put upon the journal by Norton and High,
and their ever oficious and handy attorneys
at the expense of the creditors.
The constitution of our State provides Jar
ticle 8, section ~ as follows: "All men have
certain unalienable rights, among which are
those of enjoying and defending life and lib
erty, acquiring, possessing and protecting
property, and seeking and obtaining happi-
ness and safety" Shection 16 provides that
call courts shall be open and every person
for an injury done him in his lands, goods,
person or reputation, shall have remedy by
due course of law, and justice administered
without denial or delay" These provisions
of the constitution have been set aside and
violated in every particular by a conspiracy
formed and Matched here by trinity of per-
sons, the main object of which was and is, to
cheat and defraud the creditors of the bank
of Sheffield & Norton. They thik they have
accomplished their obiect-they forget that
the laws still remain for the protection and
safety of the people. They will find that no
man or court can take the property of the
citizen without his knowledge or consent, un-
less he has committed crime against the
law. intend, Mr.. Editor, in future COM
munication to show that this has been done
in. Henry county. I shall also show when,
how and by whom it has been done, and the
machinery set on foot to accomplish it. l
will show from the records of our court, that
High and Norton have been allowed and paid
over $1,000 for salaries alone, which does not
include attorneys fees and other useless ex-
penses, amounting in the aggregate to about
$4,000, without having rendered little if any
service. intend to show that Norton by
fraud has attempted to sell and dispose of,
and has sold so far as his deeds amount to
anything, all or nearly all, the real estate be-
longing to William Sheffield at the time of
his death, and intend to show further that
Norton and High, at or subsequent to the
January term of our court, procured confirm
ations of all these sales of lands fraudulently
made by Norton, and have caused the same
to be entered upon the journal of our court,
all of which is clearly in violation of the law.
I intend, Mr.. Editor, to make this showing,
with your permission, for the reason that
many of the readers of the NORTHWEST have
an interest in the fair and honest settlement
of that bank. CREDITOR.

A Dernier Resort.

Some unprincipled Republicans have in
duced an alleged unprincipled fellow named
Niswander, of Columbus, to bring suit in the
Franklin Common Pleas Court against John
Mcbride, the Democratic candidate for
Secretary of State, charging him with
alternating the affections of his wife, and
claiming $4,000 damages. No one acquaint-
ed with the circumstances places any credence
in the charge, and it is evident that the OBJ
ject is to make political capital out of it,
Mcbride and Mrs. Niswander and her rela-
tives denounce it as an infamous and con-
temptible slander. Decent Republicans in
Columbus feel chagrined to think that such
infamy is resorted to for campaign purposes,
and the scheme is denounced everywhere
Toledo Bee.
And it may be added that the whole scheme
was concocted by the corrupt Republican
ring at Columbus, than which baser set of
rascals cannot be found upon Gods footstool,
taking as basis for their devilish work the
fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Niswander were liv-
ing apart, having been separated through
family troubles, and Mr.. Mcbride being an
intimate friend of the wife's family, and the
head of the Democratic ticket, he was made
the victim, for effect upon the voters of the
State. This man, this injured husband, was
made an easy partner in the dirty work, as
he is on the make, and of course is paid
good round sum for his part, part which
has been wholly worked up by the gang of
Columbus Republican buns, and probably
assisted by some high in power at the State
capital. This is the more plausible in the
light of circumstances which have transpired
within the past few months which have been
traced to high places. The next step of these
rascals will be to prolong the case in court
until after the election, when of course the
whole matter would be dropped, as it had
served its purpose. But Mr.. Mcbride says
he is ready to meet the charge at once, and
has no fears but that he can establish his en-
tire innocence and lay bare the whole matter
as Republican electioneering scheme.
Parties who would be guilty of such mean
ness should be strung up.

sB It is rather diverting to hear Republi-
can papers in this and other neighborhoods
of the State calling upon the good honest
Democrats to help to elect their candidate
for Congressman in the 9Th district. Why
not call upon your own party to do it? Was
not the present 9th district especially carved
out as Republican district? 1t certainly
was, but the good honest Republicans are
now voting with the Democrats, rebuking
the unconstitutional methods of the leaders
of the Republican party, teaching their own
party that the will of the people must not be
overridden. And they will continue to vote
with the good honest Democrats, and this
fall they will cast their ballots for Mr.. Hill,
who has made good record in Congress, and
who intends to do more for the general peo-
pie when he gets back to Washington. This
the rascals know, and they will not vote for
him. But the good honest voters will be on
hand, and the 9Th district will continue to
be represented by Democrat.

B The editor of the Signal grows quite
wrathy over our little allusion to Fraud
Hayes. He evidently does not take to the
word Fraud, or else he objects to our state
ment that he would not be winning card
This is but natural, though, as the editor of
the Signal claims some relationship to the
Fraud-we believe Hayes grandmother
old tom cat ran across the Signal editors
grandfather's back yard once or twice, hence
the affinity. But, to be serious, we believe it
was big mistake to ask the Fraud to Henry
county, and no doubt it was done upon the
spur of the moment, whereas second sober
thought would have decided otherwise. We
are sorry our esteemed neighber takes it SO
hard, and still more sorry that he is related
to the Fraud.

e9y- It is laughable in the extreme to see
the Signal squirting over the Harrison town.
ship road levy. 1t placed the levy at one
hundred times greater than it really was, and
first said it was made by the County Com
missioners, then by the Auditor, then by the
Democratic Clerk of Harrison Township,
and the lord only knows who next will be
charged with making the levy. There is
nothing irregular about the levy, and it was
made at the meeting of the Township board
of Trustees onthe 1st day of March 'S6, being
the first Monday in the month, and is 80 re-
corded upon the Trustees journal and signed
by Mr.. Okee Palmer, the then Republican
Clerk. OF course it is bitter pill for the
Signal to be compelled to acknowledge its
ignorance, but facts are facts, and whether
it acknowledges it or not, an enlightened
community will draw its own conclusions,
and it wont leave the editor of the Signal
in very enviable light, either. But proba-
bly, the Signal has taken for its refuge the
old maxim: "Where ignorance is bliss tits
folly to be wise."

them, that this administration has saved
S27OOO,0 600 by cutting and using fewer clerks,
and by more efficient collection of the

fore them, that the public debt was lessened
more than $5,0OO,0OO more last year than it
was under the last year of Republican rule.
Keep it before them and stick it at them that
soldiers pensions too have been raised and
the pensioners increased in number under

it before them that times have somewhat re-

criptiOn of the earthquake at Charleston and
other points. Since these scenes other shocks
have occurred. On Fridary night quite a
severe shock was had and on Saturday night
at $50 shock of about five seconds was ex-
perienced. The new visitations caused the
excitement to intensity and thousands left
the city and the inhabitants were living with
out doors. But little damage was done by
these latter shocks; two houses were demolish-
ed and no lives lost. Donations from over
the country are pouring in for the relief of
the wants of the stricken inhabitants of the

all the way from 10000 to 10000. The rail-

depot to the grounds say they sold 5000
round trip tickets, which is stretching it a
little, no doubt, but there was an immense
