TWENTY-FIRST YEAR

THE PROPOSED RAILROAD.

Leiter From general Hunter.

EMTOB EXPHESB.—Therehaveappeared in your paper various articles in opposition to the proposed road from Cincinnati to Jerre Haute, one of which, signed "Fair Play," closes by asking -an answer from nle to certain objections pointed out by him. As his embraces subatant ially the objections of all, I propose answering them.

In the first part of his article. he admits the necessity of the proposed road, but objects.to its gauge. The siibalance of his objections when pr&perly Understood, is this: That the narrow gtute is but an ex peri men t, hostile to the present one, and contjrary tQ the enlightened wisdom of the best railroad talent in this country and that because hundreds of millions of dollars are invested in our present gauge, it should not nowbe interfered with

I: admit that: the narrow gauge Has never been tested in this, country, and for that reason our best railroad men can knowing fi(tle*lsbut it practically. In Europe 'it 'has heen tested by the highest engineering talent, and pronounced a success. If a success there, why should it not ,be here? My information that a committee was lately appointed by the State of Massachusetts, consisting of several of her-best, engineers, for the purpose of investigating this question of narrow gauge, and after a careful and thorough.' investigation, the committee reported, unanimously in favor of it for general railway -purposes, and upfm th* faith of that report the State legalized the

gauge. T/TrOT-T Cfin "Fair Play assert without fear of succesftful. cohtfpdiction,, that our present gauge (four feet eight and one-half inches,) harbeen shown to- be better than a three feet one, by any fair test? If not, why will he, or any'one, insist that our gauge.should iriever be changed? There is one thing certain, that railroad freight "apd Yare'lHQSt .be reduced near one-half, or"the people will) in a few years, by their overwhelming voice, compel the Congress of the,United States and the Legislatures of the various States to take the. matter in hand and cotopel the rediiction by positive law. The present rates are in oppression that the people will not subtaitfto. If you'talk to railroad men tliey will tell you that railroads^ are not making more than a fair interest at their presentf*tfate|i and therefore they can't afford to materially lessen them. Why? Their answer, is that the wear and tear of the road bed and machinery are so great, and-so many-men haveto be kept eiff-' ployed in repairing them, that their ex* penses almost equal their receipts. If this be true, and in many cases I have no doubt it is, where, and how shall tbe people look forrelieff Myjudgment-is that it jvitl.be jfoifflnlifl the chiudgeofohr present gauge. If it be true, as the advocates of the narrow gauge contend—that by lessening the gauge to three feet, you do not materially lessen the speed or com-, fort of the present gauge to the traveling public, nor lessen the capacity of the road lor carrying jpurposea, Jbut le&eh th* cost.bf constructing, equipping and operating the same near one half the present rates, it follows, that in proportion as you lessen the expense, you can lowef freights and passenger fare, and hence the putTfic will demand the change.

The tests .that have been made in .Eu rope show that the great advantages of the three feet gauge-over our present one are these: You can run steeper grades aftd ^hjfrper ^cuj-v&y the machinery kin be reduced near one-half in weight and yet be as effective .for carrying purposes with much less power. Your superstructure i? jigjiter, andi hence' ,^ie wear and

tear $F machinery is much less. In short, there is a saving in everything connected f^ith the road:' trls know s^mf will ask why not reduce the weight of our cars and^ superstructure on our present gauge? The answer ia, that experience has shown that it cannot be done with safety to either life or property. To lighten, therefore, yob .ntai?$ liarrow. die ^gaugl and bring your wheels closer together. It is upon the same principle that if you will take a piece of timber, six feet long, and rest its ends on solid bearings, it will not bear op half as much weight as three feet of thie same piece will bear if similarly placed., Hence, by throwing away half the weight of your timber, the residue will bear up twice the weight of the whole. So, as you natTow the gauge, you reduce the weight of all the material and still -preserve-f-the greater streihgth'in proportion to lh» weight. And it is this heavr dead weight fthat has to be hadled by present roads, and the constant wear and tear of it on the superstructure and machinery, that makes it objectionable to the advocates of narrow gauge.

It is contended that the traveling public will not be as comfortable in the narrow as in the wide gauge, nor move so rapidly. Let us see. Our present traveling speed is about twenty-five miles per hour. The narrow gauge can make that, and it is said even forty miles per hour with perfect safety. Our present cars are arranged with wide seats on each side, sufficient -for two passengers, yet often n6t more than one passenger occupies them. Two in a seat are crowded, while the seat is too large for one to sit with comfort. The narrow gauge is arranged with seats in the same way,- -bat only large epo«gh for one person, hut made as comfortable as a passenger could desire. The alqefh ing cars can be arranged equally as comfortable as our present, the berths not so wide, but wide enough to accommodate one person, and no one would object to that except it might be "the ex President of tbe Southern Confederacy."

I come now to the question of freights* and "Fair Play" says, suppose the road is finished at id a train of forty .ears comes into

8~i—11

J.J.UK

Terre Haute, fire for St. Louis and thirty cara of etOM, coal, lumber and timber for points on the two roads west, will Director Burnett or General Hunter please tell us what they are going to do with the freight. 1 will yheerfully an swer the question. UnleA running ar rangements can be made with: the other road so that every facility will be aforded us for Ipading a nd unloading our cars, either by dumping or by machinery, into those of the other companies, we will not bring our freight to Terre Haute labeled in the manner he suggests. Our first object will be to furnish Terre Haute and all her manufacturing establishments with all their fuel, stone and lumber, We will be able to ship cheaper, and hence undersell all other parties. For all other freights designed to go West, such as coal, iron, stone and lumber, in which no great speed is required in shipping we expect to make arrangements to ship by water.

wittJbfer

through, cars, laden for, Chicjugo

and Evansville. How much does all that benelt Terre Haute? I leave.it far your, read^s to decide. M^6hirie Vh^ops I uh« derstand are promised. They, will add much to your city when built, Wj .they are -the, principal ones on the road—but if made a mere'hoapital to repair old cars and engines, they will not amount to much.

The Cincinnati & Terre Haute road don't propose passing through your city with her freight but she proposes having it all unloaded and reahipped from that point as well as reload her cars from the river and city to ship east. To do all that it will require machinery and. the. labor of many pen—all of which, when tann in connection with the river interests^ thai we propose building up, wUl make for Terre Haute such a golden harvest that it Will take a "railroad man" to Calculate its increased value. "Fair Play" advises the people of Terre Haute to go slow "for the reason that the narrow gauge project smacks so strongly

the part of a /eir men which are'not of vs." don't know exactly who he means by. Stis?'' If he meana all the citizens Terre Haute, then I don't think that "us' would care much who builds the road, if "us" codld only get cheap freighis. VsBut if "us" means a few who are in ihe ring, then I phould think that the eople of Terre HaUte Id iwjoi» tli«t "ns" didn't have anything to do with it, for if "us''6wned and operated theroad leading into Terre Halite, therewouldn't bemuch show for competition, but tfie road would then be run and operated -for -#he bmtjU of' and noC the people. Bat upon the other hand, if there is any selfishness in matter, is it not shown to be wholly upon the part of the few that are opposing this road I admirtike SitJ ofiPelre Haute and have great love and respect for her people, and will do anything in my pow er to advance her material interests but when it is contended that she is "furnishing all the seed for this great harvest" and therefore a few of her people should dictate all the terms to this company, does npt the assumption, to say the least of it, strike any candid man of Terre Haute as exceedingly selfish?

Does not "Fair Play" know ttat ther^j is not a county along the line through whose county seat the road will pass but what will pay as much in aid of the enter-? prise as does Terre Haute? Is it then just to them to oar that they shall have ho voice in Ihe matter and shall not be consulted-? There are three directors in Indiana. Terre Haute has one, Monroe county one and Decatur county one. Is not that fair distributioh? The people along the line of the .road don't care who buiJWs .t^e road so it is built and operated for their btinfte I was not in the original-organ-ization, and knew!-nothing fclfMk it, until it was completed. I have taken hold of the Wirpriae because it ft & sound and the men who are at the bottom of It mean business.' I hope the people of Terre Haute will do the sun*. If so, within a few months they will have the

urjpijr

eipect to

do for Terre Haute what no other rail raid has yet, done 4hatis, tb de builf}^i^berbteer intereet8. It jr go upon the wharf, it looks dilapidated, and grown up with grass. And the part of the city bordering on the. river has gone down and the property much "reduced in price. All this is caused by the lack of business. If we out give bacl|to the river, not only the business she enjoyed in her palmiest, days,' hut incrctfaer that more than five-fold, we will do for Terre Haute, in the way of adding to her material" interests, morte than all thertdlifoads. yet built to her borders. AlHhe coal, iron, stone and timber that wean possibly' haul, which will not be sumed by Terre Haute, can be tal away by the river and supplied to8t» Louja and all other points along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, cheaper than it is now supplied by the other raCilro^ds. We don't expect to mov^sthis through freight in wagons or cart?rbut run.our cara directly to .the.rivert3and oU2»dbyj^gyBexLjl^s4.1pressions boats. The river can now. be used nine months in th&year, and with slaok- water navigation,which will soon behad*it can be used the year round. 'We could soon make your river. alive with- little tug boats' conveying barges laden with the freight from our line of road that would gi^A to Torre Haute a prosperity she hptf never yet enjoyed, and make thatjpart of tbe city borderiisg on the riveir again valuable.' "Fair Play" says you did a good thing when you subscribeid $100,GOO", to the Danville road. I have no doubt you did, buVWliat his that road done for your city that will begin to compare with the bene* fits that our roads offers? The cars on thal road come in on one side of your citjr and pass out immediately on the other,

•SdL&k&BR1%

road that they so much need, which will give to them a large trade that they Have lost, and revive their river business that has beeii' 'gVaddairy decaying1for the last twelve or fifteen years.' They' need take no, alarm at the gauge,-. I will assure them that the narrow gauge willbring to them all that a wide gauge would do, and at reduced prices.'

I want the. people of X-erre Haute, therefore, to give this enterprise their closest ecrutiny. If not found worthy, reject it, but if, on the othjer hand, it Is found good, give it the required, aid with a liberal, and not a grudging hand, and: bid it God speed. "v

THB DOLLIKGER MOVEMENT. NEW YORK, August 28.—Additional foreign intelligence concerning the Dollinger movement in Germany, reports that at a meeting of liberal Catholics in Heidelberg, August 15th and 16th, which was attended by some forty delegates rep resenting Bavaria, Prussia, Austria and Switzerland, it was resolved that the coming Congress of anti-infallibility at Munich, September 22d, should have public discussions of the Church question, and a ne# declaratory be issued, and Catholics of every nation be asked to attach themselves to the movement. The JDollinger Catholics, though placing little reliance in the action of the governments, feel sanguine of the support of Prussia, by which it is expected in it active war steps will be taken. There is nothing expected from Bavaria, although the action of the Government of that country refusing to sustain the ecclesiastical sentence case of the pastor, who, though ex-communicated continued to exercise his functions, regarded as a hopeful sign. The Governments will sooner or later have to decide upon the demand which is proposed to be made upon anti-infalli-bilists for acknowledgment of the Catholjc Church, and therefore entitled to Cburch property^ and thus may be pressed to take distinct measures. There is great anxiety manifested by liberals, as to whether Papal anathemas will be visited upon the University at Munich, over which Dollinger now has full charge.

THE LATE RAILROAD ACCIDENT. BOSTON, Aiigust 27.—The terrible railroad accident of Saturday night becomes more sickening as the details are developed! The cause of the accident was snrtfJly, that the engineer on the express train chose to plunfee his train into one standing at the station before him. -The Beverly accommodation train made several- stops to get passengers at way stations. Mean^while the express train from Bangor left oq time, and ran at the highest atr tainable rate of speed. Before it started Superintendent Prescott sent special orders to the engineer to becarefult as there Was is train ahead of him. Tbe conductor of the accommodation train' was warned of the train behind him, and caused two r.ed lanterns to be put on the rear p'atforin of the. rear car, but it seems no attention was paid to orders, ^nd the responsibility of this carelessness must rest somewhere. At the scene of the awful disaster there is little to be seen. In the ditcih at the side of the road still smoke embers of burned cars, but this is almost all which tells of the disaster. In the town hall at Revere still lie half a dozen bodies. They are horrible to look at. Bloody foam lies upon their black swollen lips, their eyes protrude from sockets discolored, patches of flesh hang loose from their eheeks, and great^ flaps of boiled skin dangle from their hands. They have been crushed, cooked and tortured deeper than mere physical disfigurement. One sees something still most horrible in their faces, a haunting look of unsjpeak* able agony. The officers of the road were almost crazed by the accident, and seemed hot to know what to do. The killed ahd wounded are nearly all Boston, Salem and Lynn people.

Two aditional deaths by the railroad disaster occurred to-day. The papers this morning unite ih demanding full investigation of the cause of the disaster, and stern judgment on those responsible. An inquest will be held near the scene of slaughter, on the bodies of persons killed outright. Another inquest will be held at the City hospital on the bodies of those who died there.

HOME BITTERS.

*°mmm

Are indorsed anu presuribed by more leading Physicians than any tonic or stimulant now in use, They area SURE PREVENTIVE for Fever and Ague^Intermittents, Biliousness aud all disorders arising from miasmatio causes. They are highly recommended as an anti dyspeptic, and in cases of indigestion are invaluable as an Appetizer and Recnperant, and in cases of General Debility they have never in a single instance failed in producing the most happy results. They are particularly BENEFICIAL TO FEMALES, strengthening the body, invigorating the mind aud givingtone and elasticity to the whole system. Tbe HOME BITTERS aro compounded with the greatest care, and no Tonic Stimulant has ever been offered to the public SO PLEASANT TO THE TASTE, and at the same time combining so many medical agents, indorsed by the medical fraternity as the best known to the Pharmacopoeia. It costs litttle to give them a fair trial, and Every Family should hare a Bottle.

We ask every one to read tbe following certificate from many of the most eminent physicians in the country:

ST. LOCIS, July, 1870—JAMES A. JACKSON & CO.: Gentlemen—As you have communicated to the medical profession the recipe of the "Home Bittters, it cannot, therefore, be consider«d as a secret or patent medicine, no patent having been taken for it. We have examined the formula for making the "Home Bitters," and unhesitatingly say the combination is on. of rare excellence, all the articles used in its composition are the best of the class to which they belong, being highly Tonic, Stimulant, Stomachic. Carminative and slightly Laxative. The mode of preparing them is *trictly in accordance with the rules of pharmacy. Having used them, seen its effect in our private praotice. we take

leasure in recommending them to all persons of taking Bitters, a* being the best Tonic and Stimulant now offered to the public. I. Ch. Boisllniere, I. D. Alfred Heacock, X. D. Drake McDowell, M. D. J. C. White Mil, M. D. Dr. C, Y. F. Ladwig. W. A. Wilcox, M. D,

U. 8. MARINR HOSPITAL, ST. Louis, Mo., Oct. 8,1870.—JAS. A. JACKSON 4 CO.: I have examined the formula for mnking the "Home Stomach Bitters," and used them in the Hospital ior the last four months. I consider them the most valuable tonieand stimulant now in use. L. MELCHER.

ST. LOUIS, July 6, 1870-JAS. A. JACKSON FT CO.: Having examined the formula from which your celebrated "Stomaoh Bitters" are prepar'd, and having witnessed the method of combining the different ingredients, we can safely recommend them as the besttonio with which we are acquainted. From the great eare with whioh they are compounded, and from the choice materials which enter into diem, we have no doubt that they will prove, as they deserve to be, the most popular tonic and stimulant ih use.
