Across the County.

Litigation over the proposed King
ston and Delaware valley railroad
along the old canal i'm LackawaXen
promises to be long drawn out. The
Erie is adopting every method known
to the law to prevent or retard its
building, which in the end may or
may not be successful. Years ago
when the Erie was being built Major
Seymour, one of the foremost civil
engineers Of his day, surveyed route
through this county which he claimed
was far more feasible and practical
than the one up the river, but a large
appropriation by New York state
diverted the line, and it followed the
river, and our county not only lost
the road but also the village Of Port
Jervis, which according 10 theoriginal
plan of crossing into this state at Tri
States had it been pursued, would
have been on our soil. We have ev-
er since been at great disadvantage,
suffering the expenses which arise
from the road without any correspond
ing advantage. Now if there is a
practical route across this county
as no doubt is the fact, why could
not the projected new road adopt it;
The distance is no greater, the grades
would be no heavier, the probable
cost Of construction no more, and con
siderable business would be obtained
which the other route would moi
furnish. We make the suggestion

Early last Saturday morning w.
A. Parshall Esq, Of Port Jervis, dis
covered that his house had been burg
larized during the night aud con
siderable amount Of silver ware aud
"a couple of overcoats stolen. He
gave the alarm and Erie detective
Feidman started in pursuit of the
thieves and found them in car
of west bound train at Lackawaxen.
Aided by constable Kelly he arrested
two men who gave their names as
William Ray and Frank Nelson, of
Brooklyn. The stolen goods were
found in their possession and the men
were taken before A. w. Balch Esq,
of Matamoras when a charge Of carry
ing concealed weapons was preferred
against them so they could be held
until the necessary eXtradition papers
to transfer them to Now York could
be procured. They plead guilty to
the charge and i'm default Of bail were
brought to Milford Saturday afternoon
and locked up pending the arrival Of
the papers. Both men were armed
and they had a full kit of burglars
tools, and a small band saw was found

Some time ago it was announced
that women We're to be gradually
eliminated from the governmental
departments at Washington. Ev-
cry reason but 5he true one, which
is that women have no votes, was
given as an excuse for such a course.
In contrast with this action of the
various heads of departments in
Washington, it is refreshing to find
one man who overides political bos-
ses and insists upon employing those
best fitted for the work, irrespective
of sex. The following announce.
ment comes from Washington
Gen. w r. Merriam, Director of
the Census, refuses to accept any
more men as clerks. He wants wo-
men. He has addressed a letter to
each member of Congress and in
formed that hereafter he will not
permit the examInation of men for
positions. On July 1st he will en-
ploy from 800 to 800 women.
Against this there has been decid
ed protest Republicans and Demo
Gratis alike have political favors to
repay, and women vote in only a
few States. Already there have
been charges that many men are
found deficient in examinations,
while women are nearly always
passed. Director Merriam will have
the employment of nearly 5000 per-
sons and insists upon appointing wo-
men to nine-tenths of the places.
Senator's receive fifteen appoint
ments each Republican Representa-
tives six. Democratic Representa-
tives three; and members with d
"pull as many as they like" Few
Senators and representatives have
filed their quotas, and unless ap-
pointments are made before the ex.
aminations IN April, Director Mer,
riam himself will make the selec
tions from the civil-service eligible
lists.

Treasury for a detailed statement
of the sums derived from the war
revenue act, the receipts from each
snbject of taxation to be stated sep
arately, which was adopted by the
Senate II don't suppose that it will
lead TO immediate legislation, but /
am anxious to know exactly how
much money has been received under
the various stamp taxes. The infor-
nation will not be as interesting as
it might be, because the same char
acter of stamps is used for various
purposes, so that it is impossible to
tell how many stamps are placed
upon telegrams, how many upon ex-
press receipts, how many upon mort
cages, etc. The beer stamps a dis
