THE RAILROAD CONVENTION AT ELIZ
' ABKTII, MAY 3TH.
The meeting called to tnko into fur
ther consideration tho enterprise of the
Monongahela Valley Railroad was very
well attended and its proceedings were
harmonious and enthusiastic. It was
said that some ten or twelvo millions of
dollars was represented in tho meeting
itself, nnd Ihe inilueiice, intelligence and
earnestness manifested, gives tho .high
Cht assurance cf success.
Dr. Vanvooiins, of llullevernon, was
president (t the convention, and Dr.
Walker,, of .Elizabeth, Secretary. Stir,
ring addresses wero made by lion. Geo.
V. Lawrei.ce, Hon. T J Digham and
Gen. J- 15. Svveitzer, of Pittsburgh, and
by tho President ot th? Pittsburgh and
Connollsvillu Railroad, and others.
Tho road was regarded by all a a
positive necessity ; Unit in all other cases
railroads have been compelled to develop
their, trade, but hero along our valley
the trade is already built up, waitin;; tor
the road. Resolutions ot a business na
ture were passod, among which wo find
tho following
Itcso'ved, That inasmuch as it is i.eccs
nary to havo subscribed at least 51U0,
000 before an organization of the com
pany, this stun bo apportioned along tho
river as follow?, viz : Pittsburgh, $30,
000 i Birmingham, $90,000 ; Alclvces.
port, e10,000; Elizabeth,' 0,000 s Lime,
town, $1,000 i Monouajahcla city, 8,-.
000 i Webster, 3,000 ; Rellevernon,
$3,000 i Cookstown, -1,000 : California
and GreonhVId, Sn,000 ; Hrownsvillu,
$15,000 iFiederiekton and Jlillshoroiigb,
81.000 i Rices Landing, $1,000 : New
Geneva and Greenshurir, 3,000; mid
thut it be recommended to each place to
acciiro their assessed amount at as eaily
a day as possible, and that we recom
mend to corporators to give public no
tico ot the time when they will visit the
respective towns to receive tho subscrip
tions secured as abovo mentioned.
Dr. Vanvoorlus iu his address to the
convention set forth the tact, according to
tho estimate ot intelligent engineers, that
'the cost per mile would be (527,002,22,
or tho distance to the State lire being
8" miles, the whole cot would bo 2,
400,012 1-1, to finish the road from Pills
burgh to West Virginia line, or in round
numbers $2,500,000. According to the
terms ol the charter, the Company won Id
only require the issuing of bonds to the
amount ot $7,GG2 22 per mile to com-,
plttc the road, for which every iniln of
))u road graded and ready for the rails
would form a sure and safe basis for
mortgage bonds to even a greater
amount,"
Saying further i Tho Act of Assem
bly authorizes the lormatiou of a compa
ny to construct a railroad from a point
at or near Pittsburgh to Waynesburg,
iu Greene county, ia the Monongahela
river ; diverging from tho river at Rico's
Landing ; tho capital stock ot said com-,
puny not to exceed $20,000 per mile of
said road j the company authorized to
borrow money and issue bonds to any
amount not exceeding capital stock ac
tually paid in.
: It must not bo forgotten, however,
that tho navgintiou ot our river is only
extended to Now Geneva, whilst the
Valley stretches out at least ono degreo
ot latilulo Southward. The mineral
resources of the upper valley havo nev
er been developed, and the citizens of
that region now are anxiously qwailing
tho nc'.ion of our Sluto in giving them
an outlet to market, West Vu. has al
rtady, in anticipation of our action, ta
ken tho initiative steps to build a rail
road to connect at tho State lino with
the proposed Monongahela Valley Rail
toad. Tho citizens ot Upshur, Lewis
snd Barbour counties havo applied to
tho West Virginia Legislature for a
charter for a railroad company to bo
called the Kanawha and Shenandoah
Kftihoad Company, with authority to
build a lino ot railroad from somo point
on tho Ohio river, at or near Point
PloaBanr,; and thence by way of Glen
vlltc, Weston Uuckannon, Cheat River,
PotvrsburR and MorOcld, to somo point
on the Virginia . and West Virginia
State lino, west ot Stransburg. This is
roally tho grcut '-bug bear"' which has
exulted tho ire and opposition of certain
corporations. Thoy imagine in the fu
ture, a road olong our river connecting
as abovo, nnd carrying on tho trado, in
stead ot sceuiff it I'tiBB ovor their own
lines- Iu a word, they fear competition.
This spirit defeated tho interests ot quf
valley when it won pioposed to grant
the right ot way to tho Baltimore and
Ohio road some twenty years ago The
same spirit has tioddeii under foot the
llcniphcld, and tho saino lite would
have been inetuJ out to the Pittsburgh
and Connellsvillo Railroad, had it not
beeii for the timely intorpoMlion of tho
Supremo Court.
It never was intended to run tho road
in its main branch otherwise than along
the river, hut for somo reason uot well
undcri-tood, tho terminus has been fixed
by the Ael ot Assembly at Waynesburg,
in ureen county, but tho real design is
and always has been to extend tho pro
posed railroad to tho West Virginia
mountains. In tho profits of this road
we rely exclusively on the local trade,
and whatever advantages may accrue
trom connections with . other railroads
they will be regarded as that much nd
ditional gain not counlod in tho sure
profits out of which will bo realized by
regular dividends. Wo havo already
show n by reliable h gores that the pros
ent trade is sullieient to mako the Mo
nniigahela Valley Railroul pay mole
than six per cent, dividend regularly.
Lint we must also take into account tho
rapid change which will be effected in
nil branches of business along tho Valley
by the opening of a railroad, and the
present with the increased trade will be
sure to render this road ono of tho most
profitable in tho State.
Tlio capital of tho Company, as wo
have said before, is fixed at $20,000 per
mile, as tho samo may bo constructed
and equipped, with tho privilege of isstii
iug bonds to an amount not exceeding
the capital stock paid in. Whatever
defects may bo found in tho aet incor
porating the Company, can bo changed
as necessity may reipiiro, it the people
will only bo careful to elect a Legisla
ture liberal en the policy ot Railroads.
This looks to us as if it was purposed,
did they construct a railro.nl up the VaN
ley, to leave Waynesburg "out in tho
cold.' And why not T It is evident
from tho disposition manifested by her
oitizens that she lias no heart iu the
enterprise. Tho matter begins to look
sonoiis. Wo really fear they will prose
cute the design. Pittsburgh capital and
energy seems to havo taken hold. Tlio
apportionment to tho different towns
along the route is-comparatively small
and can bo easily raised. It only re
mains to bo seen whether this tide in tho
nlfiirs of Greene county will be taken at
the Hood. If Waynesburg can do with
out n railroad well nnd good, it is not
presumed that they will force one upon
her. Our river border wo exhort to re.
newed energy in tho work. It is there
that tho little lilo we havo exists. Let
the railroad skirt our county. It will
not be a year until Carmiohaols, pioneer
as the is in advancement, will havo a
branch, They are live men in that sec
tion. Witness tho first academy, tlio
lirst agricultural fair, tho first telegraph
oflico. . It is a green spot 1 Wavnes-
bnrjj prefers the lumbering stage coach,
she prefers quiet to tho awakening of her
adjacent hills by the scream of the steam
whistle. So do tho North American
Indians love solitude.
Tho convention adjourned to meet nt

not our citizens havo a meeting and send
delegates ! Wo suggest Tuesday ot

TIIK BOUNTY QUESTION.
Wo are treqiicutly interrogated as to
"what, the government is doing now

question. It will bo seen that it is not

... .Your Claim tor Bounty, under
the Act of Congress f July 28, 180(3,
was tiled tor settlement by this Agency
in tho proper Bepaitmeut of the United
States Government on tho. . . .day cf
....lsuu.
Owing to tho delay in tho settlement
of claims, wo deem it proper to inform
you that wo aro doing till in our power
to havo your caso acted on at us early a
day as possible.
While some of tho claims arc settled
and paid every day, it will take fully a
wdiolo year to dispose ot nil ot them.
Tho order in which cases aro taken up
by tho Government is such, that the set
tlement of one gives no idea or infor
mation as to when another will bo dis
posed ot, even it it should bo from the
saino locality or regiment, and filled at
tho samo limo. You may, however,
rest assured that just as soon as your caso
is settled wo will send you your chock.
In tho meantime plcaso be as patient ns
possible If wo could do more than wo
are now doing to bring, about a speedy
settlement of just and meritorious claims,
and thus relievo the wants and anxieties
of those who imperilled their lives tor
tho deionce ot their country, wo would
cheerfully do so. Very respect lull y .

1. o. of o. T.
The order of Good Templers, now so
popular and numerous in the State and
nation, is a purely temperance organiz i.
tion, and originated in tho State of New
York in 1831. It is estimated ti nt there
aro now upwards cf one million mem
bers of this society in tho twentj. seven
States of the Union, whero it is iu ope
ration. There aro upwards ot 'threo
hundred lodges, or Sooieties ot Good
Templers, in Pennsylvania, and during
the present year upward of ono bun.
drad Societies havo been formed, and
more nro being formed every week. Tho
Stato Lecturer . organized Lodges in
Canonsbua)rrii Washington, in Wash
ington county, last week, obtaining ono
hundred and sevonteou charter mem
bers, upwaids of thirty ot ihem ladieg.
Joseph Henderson, Esq., of Washington,
was elected W. C. T., or presiding offi
cer f the Lodge tlierr. At Canot sbui g
Wm. MoDaniels, lisq., one of the loading
merchants cf tho town, was elected pro
siding officer ot that Lodgo, Ono pe
culiar feature feature of tho Good Tem
pier Society, and a featuro that gives it
much of its power and popularity, is tho
fact that ladies aro elected to any oflico
in the Societies. The ladies aro eligible
to election to any oflico in tho Order,
whetlur iu local or national departments
of tho woik. Tho order of Sons ot
Temperance would never havo failed in
their work had they wisely secured tho
co-operntion ot tho ladies in their Socie
ties. Woman is tho strong power that
causes tho Good Templar Order now to
take precedence in numbers and influ
ence of all other Temperance organiza
tions. During tho present year returns
show that upwards ot one hundred
thousand members have been added to
tho order in the United States. The
Good Templar's platform is as follows :
1. Total iibstiuor.cn from all iutoxi
cating liquors as a beverage.
2. No license in any ionn, or under
any circumstances, tor the sale of liquors
to bo used as a beverage.
3. Tho absolute prohibition ot the
manufacture, importation and sale of
intoxicating liquors for such purposes
prohibition by the will ot the people,
expressed in duo form ft law, with the
penalties desired for a crime ot such
enormity.
1. The creation of a healthy public
opinion upon the subject, by the nctive
dissemination of truth in all tho modes
known to an enlightened philanthropy.
5. The election of giod, honest men
to administer the laws
0. PcrdUtcncu in elfoi ts to save lndi
videa's and ct ininuiiiiies from sodiieful
a scourge, against nil lorm of oppo.-iiion
and difficulty, until our success U com
pletly and universal.,
The meetings of tho society are hold
once per week All citizens who are
willing to observe the pledge ot the
order are eligiblo to become member
nnd nono but members are admitted to
tho business meetings. While the
meetingi are conducted thus the order
makes known its platform and prinoL
pies to the world, and wclcomos all into
its ranks who aro willing to work for
the causo of tempeianco and prohibi
tion. Rev. J. A. Davidson, in tho C. P.
Church, on last Wednesday evening,

temperance, organized tho Vigilant
Lodgo of this order with 45 charter
members. The following are tho offi

RECONSTRUCTED (?)
Wo hear much about tho "unnecessa
ry cruelty" exeroised toward tho South,
about "Radical despotism," "heartless
persecution" cto. A caso comes under
our observation so close home nnd so
aptly illustrative of a large class ot our
"southern brethren" that we are con
strained to tell it t
A week or more ago a worthy citizen
ot our town went to Missouri with tho
intention of purchasing propel ty, and
moving his iamily thither. He got ns
tar as 150 miles beyond St. Louis when
lie :uct with an adventure that determin
ed his return. Ho tells it himself :
"Crossing a lorry I fell into tho com
pany of a 'Southern gentleman- who ac
costed mo ns to my place of residence,
etc. I answered civilly that I was from
Pennsylvania. Oli, yosl ad d bluo
bellied Yank aro you I' lie added, 'the
road is too good for a Yank' and that I
shouldn't ride in the coach. Tho driver
intertored saying that I had paid my faro.
'Chivalry' and his associate then propos
od smoking me out. They lighted their
cigars and one puffed smoke in'.o my face,
This was a little too much. I drew my
revolver and punching him in the face
with tho muzzle made him leave the
ooach. The other I gave to understand,
should hold his touguo.
'I am satisfied with Missouri I"
Tho abovphough not the exact words,

THE SPIItIT OP FOlUJIVEMKSd.
There is nothing better than a forgiv
ing spirit. One tint cau triumph oyer
tho passions, thut can teed tho hungry
enemy, and give drink to tho thirsting
foe. Rut there aro provisos to almost
every rule of conduct, and this rule ot
toriveness has its conditions that mutt
always bo taken into consideration.
When a person is arrested for any
great crime, and is brought to trial, we
shculd not harbor any spirit of malice
or revengo toward him, oven though
his crimes have been committed against
us Wo must forgive him, but at tho
samo time it is as much our duty to
puuii-h tho crime; and as tho only way
in which that crime can bo punished is
through the criminal it is therefore our
duty to punish him.
That arch traitor, Davis, has commit
ted a oriino against tho laws ot our coun
try, tho punishment tor which is death.
He has been arrested and confined, for
some reason, ho has not beou brought to
trial. Therefore, some persons who
seem to havo a good deal of the milk of
human kindiisss, have kindly volunteer
ed to go bull, and tho criminal is reloasod,
perhaps never to ho brought to trial.
Now, as to his release on bail we havo
nothing to say. Rut wo do object to
those releasing him who wero formerly,
most bitterly opposed to him, and who
called loudest tor tho punishment ot his
crime. To see a Republican releasing
one who aimed the death blow at Re
ptiblicaiiism, is to say the least, degra
ding. And wo also object to theso men
charging those who call for his' punish
ment with being actuated only by tho
narrow spirit of malice and revongo
against a lellow being. Wo havo no
personal feeling hostilo to Jefferson
Davis, but in the name of God and hu
manity, wo demand that his crime bo
punished, aye punished scviroly with
nothing less than death
Tho spirits of fifty thousand murdered
men call for tho punishment ot him, who
by his mere word could havo caused tho
prison gates to open, and tho captured
to go free. The shadows of death that
cover the thousands of homes iu our
hud call to heaven for vengaence. The
very stones that resound to the step of
the soldiers, crutch lilt their voices to
join in tho demand . for justico. Tho
brave Rnys in IJiuo who met, fmigl t
and crr.q-.icrtd rebellion, (l.-n.ai.d that!
they shall not have fought in vain. Say
you these ate moved oi.ly by personal
malice! Who'is it makes this charge?
One wdio has grown rich by iceordiug
the history ot the bloo !y harvest that
death bus reaped in our country.
Let Republicans beware. They havo
ihe power to punish this crime, and it
they do it not, the power will bo taken
from ilium and given to those who are
more worthy. The success of tho parly
depends upon it. Let traitors howl.and
copperheads hiss, and silly fools vent
their spleno upon us, but let us still bo
firm in 'punishing crime. J.
MAXIMILIAN.
Maximilian has lost his crown, and
possibly his life. lie was taken prison
er at Qjucrclaro, where ho made his last
stand, Gens. Mejia and Castcllo nro al
so in tho hands of tho Liberals. Our
Government, nt the solicitation of the
Emperor of Austria, Maximilian's bro
ther, recently seftt a request to Juarez,
the Liberal leader in Mexico, to spare
Maximilian in caso ho should bo taken,
but the Mexicans aro so exasperated it
is thought to bo difficult, if not impossi
ble, tor Juarez to save his captive,
Tho Mexicans, says a cotcmporary,
oncouragod by their success in dethron
ing a monarch they did not want, lmyo
now a favorable opportunity to again
put to the tost their capability of self
government. It they fail, tho sooner
they pass into the strong control ot an
emperor or a king, the belter it will bo
for themselves and the world at largo.
GENEiioua runuo law. .
Among the general laws of last rcs.
sion is ono which may justly bo called a
generous act, as well as a most just con
cession to disabled soldiers. It provides
that every honorably discharged soldier
who is a resident of Pennsylvania, and
who, from wounds, or on account ot
disease contracted while in tho military
or naval service of the United States,
and on account ot such disability is
unable to procure a livelihood by mami-1
at labor shall have tho right to hawk,1
peddle nnd vend any wares, by procur
a license for that purpose to bo isBued
without cost. All that is required to in
sure a soldier the benefit ot this act, 1b
a certificate from a surgeon of tho Uni
ted States army that he is unfit to make
his living by manual labor. Tho sol
dier must also procure a certificate trom
a prolhonotary ot any county in this
State, th it ho is the bona fide owner ot
the goods ho sells. No doubt the lib
eral provisions of this law will induce
many disabled soldiers to adopt peddling
as a means cf making a living.
