Nov. 21, the Company authorizes me to give you and your friends the assurance that It is in earnest in its purpose to build, equip and operate the entire line of its road in accordWitll the Burv ©ys adopted.— Whatever delays have occurred were caused by some defects in its chain of title, which have now been lemoved; and it is not likely that anything will now happen to interfere with the vigorous prosecution of the work. We have commenced in the harbor or New York, also in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and at other points along the line, and will begin at other places ns soon as the right of way is secured and other arrangements are perfected. Very Respectfully, Wm. Thorpe, Sec’y. If the right of way is not yet wholly procured in this county, let the friends of the enterprise see that it is all made right.

Delphi Times: When Charles Love was arrested he was confined a short time in the White county jail, and was the room mate of a man by the name of McClure, who was charged with arson and is awaiting trial. During their short companionship. Love made certain statements to McClure which proved to be valuable evidence in Love’s trial, and for the purpose of giving his testimony McClure was brought from White to this county jail. Last Saturday evening after Love’s case had been given to the jury, McClure was returned to the jail, and Sheriff Rerlin had hardly locked the door before Lou Powers made a furious assault upon McClure, who knocked his antagonist down twice, but on the third assault Powers came with a razor and inflicted several cuts upon Clure, one of them very seveie, nearly penetrating;to the left lung. Sheriff Rerlin hearing the racket rushed into the jail, whereupon Powers threw the razor to Love who immediately threw it into the stove. Dr. Noland was called and dressed McClure’s wounds, which proved to be not so dangerous as first supposed, as McClure was not confined to his bed but was able to appear before the grand jury next morning and by his evidence prooured an indiotment against both Love and Powers for assault with the Intent to murder.

- “With a deep sense of my obligations under the Constitution, I regard it as my plain duty to suspend you, in order that the office may be honestly administered.—Havee to Arthur, Jan. 31,1879. You have made the Custom House a center of partisan political management.—Hayes to Arthur, Jan. 31, 1879. If it be held that, to procure the removal of Mr. Arthur, it is sufficient to reasonably establish that gross abuses of administration have continued and increased during his incumbency; t f f f then it is submitted that the case is made out.--John Sherman. There never was a more unjustifiable slander utteied against any American public naan.—Rensselaer Republican. “Half-breed editors are praising President Arthur just as though they had always done so. The twinkling of an eye affords ample time for those fellows to change front."—Monticello Herald, Stalwart. Pretty coel!—Fraud Hayes and J Sherman charged by the Rensselaer Republican with uttering the most “unjustifiable slander 1 * against Arthur.

In court, the other day, Guiteau boasted that he had s ade Arthur President.
