The reason why there a no prospect
for our railroad being built through at
once, is the same that caused the delay
all along on the portion now to be put
under contract—namely, the want of
right of right of way and adequate
•tuck subecribiion# between Oak Hall
and Centre Furnace. As soon as these
requisites are complied with, the work,
in that gap will go ahead, just as it
now does from Oak Hall east to the
Union couutv lioa. Citizens of Fergu
son hurry it*on by finishing up your
subscriptions and right of way.
In this weeks REPORTER we sur
render seme of our space to an elabor
ate article upon narrow guage rail
ways, to which wc call the careful at
tention of our readers. The subject of
narrow guage railroads is now attract
ing considerable attention in this coun
try, and as there is some talk of mak
ing our toad a narrow guage, the mat
ter becomes of double interest to our
people. The author of the pantplet
which we copy, is an able engineer,
and his treatment of the subject will
repay a careful study. We are in
debted to Mr. Geo. W. Leuifer, C.
R, for a copy of this pamphlet, the
greater portion of which we copy.
Our people do not fancy the idea of
haring a narrow guage railroad, it
souuds too much like a one-horse con*
ceru, yet we think a careful study of
the article we publish elsewhere will
soften down prejudice somewhat. The
matter is one in which we are deeply
interested and should be calmly consid
ered. Our money was subscribed far
a road of the ordinary guage, which is
4 feet 9 inches, and should it be de
termined to shrink this, we can forsee
the trouble that wilt arise when an at
tempt is made to collect the stock sub
scribed by our people. The stock
books say nothing of the guage it is
true, yet it u equally true that every
dollar subscribed was under the im
pression that the prevailing guage
would be adopted,—the matter of
narrow guages was not then mooted.
We are for having the 4 foot 9 inch
guage, yet we do not have a horror of
the 3 foot guage, from what we have
learned upon thesubject and from what
is set forth in the article published in
this issue of the Reporter.
Since writing the above we learn
there are about $75,000 lacking yet
upon the sum required to grade the
road from the Union county line to
Oak Hail, which seems to have nar
rowed the matter down to this, that
we must accept a narrow guage or
have no road at ail. The money now
subscribed will build a narrow guage
and leave the road free of debt, with
a certainty of making it a paying con
cern. By accepting the narrow goaee
we think it is certain also that Mill
heim will be made a point, as it pla
ces it within their ability to raise an ad
ditional sum, far less than would be
required for the expensive broad
guage. Again we say, studv the arti
cle on narrow gnage railroads.
Will Tkey Do It
If ever there was a time when the
rads could make good their profession
of love for the soldier, and desire to
reward him for gallant service upon
the battle field, no better opportunity
was ever offered than by the nomina
tion of Gen, M'Candless and Capt.
Cooper, as the democratic candidates
for auditor general and surveyor gen
eral. These men were amoug the
bravest of the brave, and have a bril
liant record, while theiropponents upon
the radical ticket, Messrs. Stanton and
B?atb, belonged to the "home guards f "
and never smelt rebel powder or saw
the smoke or heard the echo of a rebel
volley.
Several persons were arrester] in
Clinton county, a few days ago, for
setting fire" to mountain lands, aDd
held in S3OO bail each, for court.
That's right, and we know that if
Judge Mayor gets them in his clutches
at the next quarter sessions of Clinton
county, the villain will find them
selves badly burnt. Ifexamples could
be made of the fellows in Centre coun
ty who continually engage in this
villanous work of firing the moun
tains, it would be a blessing, and be
the saving of much valuable timber.
It is really a fact that Horace Grec
ly has relumed .back to New York
from his southern trip. Horace went
down to see one of those modern mon
sters, yclypt Ku Klux, but after trav
eling from Mason & Dixon's line to
Texas, he met nary Ku Klux, and
says so right out. One would have
thought if there was a Ku Klux in
any spot in the south, and Horace
went down, he would be sure to come
hack with a black eye and broken
nose, if nothing worse. Horace can
now write a book entitled "I didn't see
no Ku Klux" which will make up for
what he didn't know about farming.

•A dispatch from New Haven bring*
good news for the democracy from the
granite state. There will be another
radical less in tho U. SL Senate, and
another democratic governor added
to the list. The telegraph says : Tho
house of representatives has organ
ised hv the choice of a democratic
speaker in the person of* Williatu A.
Gove, of Means, who received lt>4
votes. James 0. Adams, of Manches
ter, the republican candidate, received
162 votes. This assures a democratic
governor and democratic Tinted States
senator.
Radicalism is taking its departure
Some of our radical exchanges are
in convulsions over what Jeff, Havis
said in some recent speeches, ami seem
to bo awfully afraid of Jeff. Wall,
now if Jetl remains to frighten these
fellows with his blabbering whose fault
is it? Didn't 'key all sing, five years
in a stretch how they would '"hang him
on a sour apple tree," ami yet when
they had him in their power, Horace
Grcely went hit ""J the radical
administration, afraid to give him a
trial, let him go. These rads should
not complain now, when Jeff wag* his
tougue.
The. Gov of Nebraska Deponed.
The good work of punishing unfaith
ful Governors goes on. It is but a
short time siueo Gov. Holdeu of
North Carolina was remove*! frevm his
oflieo for ffagrnut official misconduct;
and now in tlie Northwest the Senate
of Nebraska, acting as a court of im
peachment, have returnetl a verdict of
guilty in the case of David Butler, the
Governor of that State, aud he like
wise is Governor no louger.
Gov. Butler was accuse*! of misap
propriating tho public funds, of cor
rupt dealings iu relation to school
money, the public lands, expenditures
for public buildings, and, in fact, of
eugagiog with some of his cronies in a
general aud comprehensive system of
plunder. The full details of the trial
have not reached ua yet; but the Ne
braska papers have not hesitated to
charge the late Governor with com
[dicitv in frauds of the most seauda
ous nature. It has even been intima
ted that the Lunatic Asylum, which
was burned down last wiutcr, causing
the low of a number of lives, was pur
posely set on tire in order to conceal
the frauds that had becu perpetrated
in its construction.
The legislature of Nebraska,
though strongly Republican in both
branches, impeached Butler during its
last session, but his trial was posptoued.
Tho present session begun on May 30,
and on the 31st the trial opened. On
the following day the Senate came to
a vote on the first article. Nine mem
bers voted for his conviction and only
three for acquittal. This makes But
ler's deposition from office certain.
Mr. Gillespie, the Auditor of Ne
braska, has also been impeached, and
his trial was to begiu on Tbrusday
last, the Ist instant.
To the above from the N Y Suu, rad
ical, we may add that all the impeach
ing ever done, in this country, was by
radicals of radicals, and if impeach
ment were carried to its full length,
every radical office holder, from assess
or down to General Graut, would be
removed.
The full text of the charge of the
Hon. Richard Busteed, Judge of the
United States District Court, to the
Grand Jurv for tba district of North
Alabama, is now before us. Dick
says: "It gives me unfeigned satis
"faction to be able to announce that
"there is but a single case of alledged
"offense to be brought to your notice,
"a case in which a party is charged
"with having robbed the mails. This
"state of facts is exceedingly gratifying
"when we consider that a whole year
"has elapsed since the empanelling of
"the last Grand Jury for the United
"States in this district." This is very
good testimony, and we find its cause
on that page of The World Almanac
for 1871, which shows how Alabama
was carried last election by the De
mocracy from stem to stern. The
Stale is once more under the control
of its own people, with intelli
gence, integrity, and property at
the helm, vice pauperism, ignorance,
and crime retired, and no wonder the
Federal court meets only to find one
case of alleged crime in its jurisdic
tion for a whole year. M N° better ev
idence of the general good order which
"prevails in the community and 110
"stronger proof of thp loyalty of the
"people to their government need or
"can be furnished," says Judge 8.,
"than is given by their obedience to
the laws." No doubt; but the law
now is a defence to the people whom
this charge addresses, and is not wrest
ed to their destruction.
While John Scott's Ku Klux Com
mittee are sitting down in Washington
to the congenial work of hatching
slanders against the people of the
South, Horace Greely in a better, more
honest and more manly spirit goes
among them and learns their seuti
rnents by meeting them face to face.
His tour through Texas lias been
marked by demonstrations of courtesy
and respect on every hand. Mr. Gree
ly learns for himself that the people of
that State arc not wont to picture in
the Tribune. In his fare-well speech
at Galveston, on Saturday last, he said
he iQull testify that property and life
are safe, and are protected in Texas.
He declared his purpose to do justice
to Texas in the future. Instead of
gathering up the fables of affrighted
or mendacious carpet-baggers, John
Scotland bis Committee should imi
tate Horace Greeley. But they have
a partisan end to serve, and the truth
concerning the condition of affairs in
the South is what they least desire.—

MOKE OCEAN TEI.E(JKAPJIS.—It is
reported that a new Telegraph Compa
ny is forming of New York and Eu
ropean capitalists, who intend to lay a
submarine cable from some poiut on
the coast of Georgia to Santo Domin
go, Jamaica, and other West India
Islands, and thence down the East
Coast ofSouth America to Rio Janei
ro and other points. It is also the
intentiou of the Company to lay anoth
er cable between the United States and
Aspinwall, to build a land line across
the Isthmus to Panama, and to pro
ceed thence by submarine cables down
the West Coast of South America,
touching at Lima, Valparaiso, and
other points. The Company will also
extend its line from the United States
to Cuba as the right to land a cable
on the Cuban coast can be obtained
from the Spanish Government.
T. A. Scott says there will be no
other than narrow guage (three feet)

Washington, June ti. —To day an
excited crowd of three hundred colored
laborers attempted to drive tho Irish
laborer# off the work of pavtug Sev
firth street, south WashtugUMJ, and
threatening to kill every moth er s son I
of them. A large body of police was
promptly on hand aud ordered the
crowd to disperse, which they refu.-cd
to do and threatened the police. Tho
police succeeded iu arresting live of
the ringleaders, alien their followers
moved off, threatening to return with
reinforemenU and prevent the Irish
men from working. A large force of
police was kept on the ground all day
to preserve the peace.
Our Candidates
The nomination of General William
M'Candless fur Auditor General, will
command tho respect of every intelli
gent voter in the Commonwealth. Not
onlv do the democracy hail it with <K
light, but thousands of republicans
who know the worth of the gallant
nominee stand ready to show their ap
preciation of the selection by endors
ing it at the ballot-box.—Asasoldeir,
General M'Caudlesa has a record writ
ten over the history of gallant deeds
in defense of the Union. —He entered
the service of the United States on the
27th of May, as Major of the
.Secoud Regiment of Pennsylvania Re
serve*. William B. Maun of Phila
delphia, was commissioned Colonel of
this regiment, but resigned as soon as
active hostilities began. After hi
rcsignation the regiment was comman
ded by Gen. M'Caudless, as Lieiiten
aut Colonel, until the teutli of duly,
1802, wbeu Governor Curtin, in recog
nition of his gallantry, promoted him
to the Coloueley of this regiiucut.
From Mcshanksville, the litst of the
Seven Days' Battles near Richmond,
until his honorable discharge from the
service. Gen. M'l'and less continued
in active duty, a great purt of the
time acting as brigade uud division
commander. He was twice severely
wounded, tirst at the second battle of
Bull Run, while gallantly leading his
regimeut in that hard fought but dis
astrous field, and subsequently in one
of the bloody battles of the Wilderness.
But the splendor of hi* military caret r
is matched by his record us a legislator.
After the close of the war he was elec
ted state senator from the First dis
trict of Philadelphia, receiving a very
large majority. Ho at once took high
rank in the senate and soon came to
be regarded as one of the ablest as
well as one of the purest men in that
body. Ho retired from that position,
respected not only by his own consti
tuetits but endeared to the democracy
from one end of the state to the oth-
Captain James 11. Cooper, of Lnw
rcncccounty, the nominee for Surveyor
General, is also a soldier whose name
is familiar to the veterans of the late
war. He is a Dative of Allegheny
county, a self-made man, having lost
both hjs parents when a boy. When
the war of the rebellion broke out; he
enlisted as a private in a company
formed in his adopted county, of which
he was chosen orderly sergeant. This
company afterward became famous as
Battery B. of the First Artillery,
Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, or as
"Cooper's Battery," the orderly ser
geant of 1801 having been chosen its
commander upon the reorganization of
the regiment to which it was attached.
CapL Cooper participated in all the
engagements fought by the Army of
the Potomac from the beginning of
the war uutil August, 18fH,whcn his
term of enlistment having expired, he
returned to his home. He is epoken
of by bis old comrades in arms as the
bravest of the brave. The official re
ports of the commanders under whom
he served bear abundant testimony to
his gallantry and the efficiency of Bat
tery B, Wlieu hp was mustered out,
lie was recommended by uil the offi
cers of the other batteries of the regi
ment for tho Colonelcy, and the recom
mendation was endorsed by General
Meade and other distinguished officers
of high rank. Captain Cooper, wo bo
! lieve, bag never held any civil office,
but was nominated by the democrats
oftheilouse of Representatives as their
candidate for Sergeant at-Arms at the
organization of the present legislature,
and at the same time, without his
knowledge or consent, and against his
earncs protest, was presented, byway
of a flank movement, by the rcpuh
cans of the Senate for the same posi
lion in that body. The sixteen repub
lican Senators will of course prove
their consistency by voting for Can
tain Cooper for Surveyor General. He
ia a man of unquestioned integrity,
fine business qualifications, and a work
ing man in the true seusc of the word.
Such is the work of the convention
of yesterday. Can there be any doubt
that the seal of the popular approba
tion will lie stamped upon it on elec
tion day 1

JUittms,
Chics. -!n:u 5. A cyclone occur
red near Mas- ;i City, llliiiois, last Fri
day mornin . An inky-hued cloud of
smoke, like a column, was observed;
gathering n- ir the earth's surface, on
an open prairie, six miles from that
place, an l from this column soon shot
out three narrow ami spire like cloud*
—column-, which continued to ascend
rapidly tiil they reached and seemed
II attach tin . Ives closely to a cloud
above. TUT frightful apparition
moved * lowly toward# Mason, but fin
ally chnti o>l its course, much to the'
relief of the people of that place. A
mile away fr rn its track an odor
much 1 illt that of burning sulpber was
inhaled by persons. A gentle
man who -to d out a huydrcil yard
from the cyclone when it passed says
that small Hashes of electricity were
constantly vi-ihAo iu the storm column
passing frr m tho earth to the cloud
above, and that rapid popping ami
cracking rep -rts were heard, remind
ing him mo t forcibly of an infantry
regimen in battle firing their muskets
as fast na JM -ible. The pathway of
cyclone was nearly three miles in
length, am! from twenty to eighty feet
in width, and on tlmt pathway not a
spear of grass, not a stock of corn or
wheat, not a shrub, not a particle of:
vegetation was left aliyo Ibr some dis
tance. Th earth was literally plowed;
up the depth of six inches. The eohi
utnn of whirling air must have bci nj
intensely hot, as every green thing in
it- jmlh was literally dried to a crisp.
Another feature of the cyclone was,
that while it- rotary motion must have|
been of considerably great velocity, its
prugrefjive motion was not above the
rata of six miles nil hour tho outlines
of it* pathway wore so weil defined
that five f< t from the outer line of
the total <1- 'ruction of vegetation of
every kind i t a ve-tagc of its effects
could be-i en. Fortunately no house

any reason why the present gauge *f our

, Can we, by the adoptionofa narrow gauge,
obviate that which has proved more or less
detrimental in all the gauges already tried,

Decrease of weight on narrow gauge
roads.
it it quite carta n that a narrower gauge
{than 4 ft, 8) in. will reduce the unproduc
tive weight of train* in somewhat the same
proportion aslhegaugei* lessened, bemuse
less dimension* of iron and timber on tho
shorter span of the narrow gauge will bear
the same weight as the wider. If tho dead
weight of train* he decreased, tho weight
of tho engine will hesimilarly affected, and
here is certainly ono of the greatest advan
tages the narrow gauge road* will posse**,
for the weight of our locomotive* on the
standard gauge inflict* upon tho rail* a
pressure,'transmitted with a sledging force,
beyond tho capability of iron to ro*lt,
while the lighter engines with a maximum
weight of only liI,(H)U lbs., on a single pair
of drivers, will have no power to crush or

a a knife blade is worn on a whetstone.

men will hail with delight anything that
