THE WATER STREET RIGHT-OF-wAY.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER: Il hear
there is some talk of the Missouri Pa
cific railroad asking for right-of-way
along Water street from our city coun-
Gil and beyond down the river the same
of the county court, and from the fact
that this city depends for its Ray coun-
ty trade and transfer of all passengers
to and from this city and Wabash rail-
road. as we'll as all private business of
the citizens of the two counties, and
general travel of movers, on the ferry
this right t-of-way would virtually cut
it off to great extent, let alone the
damage it would do Walton, McIntire,
White, Clark, Setter and A. V. Robin
son e Co. The street is so narrow
team you could do but one of two
things, climb the mountain or jump
into the river.
Now MIR. Editor there is way for
this road to reach Its coal field and
harm no one but add to the wealth ol
many.
Let them commence near the new
coal shaft on line of Pacific railroad
one mile east OF Lexington; run ur
through Col. Reid's meadow believe
it belongs to him-tO and cut through
the hump back OF the Ewing barn al
junction of old Wash johnson and
Dover road; thence down the branch
where it forms junction with the Tut
branch; thence down it to Wilmott' S
on an easy grade; harms no one and
opens up from 5000 to 5000 more
acres of coal lands. Truly,

THE MISSOURI PACIFIC GOUGE.
From the Richmond Democrat.I

The railroad commissioners of the
state met at Lexington last Thursday to
investigate the charges brought against
the Missouri Pacific railroad by j. e.
McGrew. The railroad company was
represented by T. j.. Ports and
Wallace & Chiles; Mr.. McGrew being
represented by j. d. Shewalter and
Blackwell & Strother. A great deal OF
evidence was heard. but the investiga-
ton was not concluded. The commits
sion adjourned to meet at Jefferson
City one day this week.
from lengthy editorial in the Intelli-
gencer, summarizing as follows:
"The inquiry had not proceeded be-
yOnd the second witness before it was
definitely shown that the railroad had,
for between three and four years, VOL
UNFAIRLY, made and maintained a rate
of 60 cents per ton on coal to Kansas
City, and that SO far from complaining
of this rate as nom n-remunerative the
company was eager to have the coal
shipped"
All at once the railroad company
raised the freight rate 25 per cent, and
fostered if it did not inaugurate q cut
in the price of coal to below the cost of
production, if the avowed freight rates
are the real ones. No one whose YER
dancy is not exceedingly refreshing,
will for moment believe that the coal
company is selling coal at loss out of
philanthrOpic considerations. The
statement of that proposition is enough
to bring smile to as stoicaI counten-
ance as that of a wooden Indian.
"The fact is patent lit is 90 plain that
he who runs may read; the railroad
company has determined to freeze out
its smaller rivals in the coal trade in
Missouri. Not only that. but when
selling coal at retail, in Kansas City, at
cents, il refused to sell it at the same
price to other coal dealers, thus freez-
ing them out alsO-even so far as that
does it go"
The result of this gouge by the Mis-
souri, Pacific affects the Ray county
operators, who must meet the nine
cent cut of the "rallroad coal company"
or keep out of the Kansas City market.
At this writing the commissioners
have not reassembled, but we expect
them to settle the matter by fixing a
rate that will put the most humble
mine operator ON the same footing with
large operators backed by q rich rail-
road corporation.

WINFIELD SCOTT HANCOCK.

That General Hancock had won the
respect and admiration of the people
Of the United States was attested by
the universal voice of sorrow which
was raised al his unexpected death.
There were especial reasons why the
people of Lafayette county should
honor the military hero of Chancellors.
vile aud Gettysburg, who while a
soldier was a Ceur de Lion, but when
peace came was above all things an
American citizen, respecting the con-
stitution and recognizing the civil as
above the military arm of the govern
ment. Knowing that Gen. r. C.
Vaughan's relations with General Han
cock were very close and warm the
Intelligencer,a "a few days ago, sought an
interview with him. Gen. Vaughan is
now in delicate health, having suffered
few years ago from paralytic stroke,
which has left him physically feeble,
and confined him great deal to the
house. His mind, however, is vigorous,
and his recollections of Gen. Hancock
are among the pleasantest of his life.
The general in response to our inquiries
said:
81 think it was in 1866 that the con-
vention known as the Verandah hall
convention, met in st. Louis. The late
Samuel T. Glover was chosen as chair
man, and delivered an able address.
Many distinguished speakes were pres
ent, who also addressed the conven-
ton; among these were Gen Hancock,
Gen. F. P. Blair, Col. Broadhead, Col.
CAN'T, Col. r. A. Campbell and others.
l was requested to act as secretary OF
the convention, and at that time nv
acquaintance commenced with General
Hancock. was introduced to him on
the street by MIR. Glover. Some months
after met him in st. Louis and was
surprised at the promptness of his
recognition of me, calling to mind the
time and place of our last meeting.
The next occasion OH which l met him
was at Fort LeavenwOrih. This was
during the time when Lafayette county
was invaded by Gov. Fletcher's militia
under command of Bacon Montgomery.
Fletcher's servile registrars had failed
to elect their ticket and Montgomery
command was sent to the county for
the purpose of ejecting the officers
elected and placing the friends OF Gov
Fletcher in office. The murders, thefts,
robberies and other outrages perpetrat-
ed by this band of ruffians, ARE too well
remembered by the people of Lafay-
cite upon whom they were quartered to
need repetition. AT Leavenworth
asked Gen. Hancock to send company
of soldiers to protect our people, which
he at once promised to do, provided
Gen. Grant, his superior officer, would
authorize him to do it. | found him
deeply interested in Missouri affairs and
anxious to interfere to protect the peo-
pie from the wrongs which were being
inflicted upon them. He also informed
me that Gen. Grant was then in st
Louis and l might possibly find him
there. On reaching St. Louis, in COM
pany with Gen. Blair called Oh Gen.
Grant, and got from him dispatch to
Gen. Hancock authorizing him to send
two companies to protect the people of
Missouri. This command was promptly
sent by General Hancock, but only re-
manned in Lexington one day, having
been ordered away by Gen. Grant in a

Your Coming.

What instinct led you here;

Since once you came so near,
L yield thousand claims to nOurish this,
at last the dearest hope, the nearest tie.
And looking but to you for happiness,
Happy am L.
How lightly passed the maiden leisure
That youth and freedom chose,
The careless days of peace and pleasure,
The nights of pure repOse;
So swift touch could set the tune amiss!
SO brief u shadow blot the morning sky!
Yet If the heart be made for happiness,
Happy am /.
0, love, your coming taught me trouble;
Your parting taught me pain.
My breath grew quick, my blood ran double
1t leaped in every vein,
Yet, ah ! has time OutdOne the lovers kiss.
The look-the burning look-the low reply
Ii these be all he holds of happiness,
Happy am L.
You lend to earth a vague emotion:
Myself stranger seems;
Y0dr glance is mixed with sky and ocean.
Your voice is heard in dreams.
The good choose is weighed with that misc
My ldlest laughter mated with sigh,
And moving only in your happiness,
Happy am L.
