Our Delay.

We have delayed the issue of the UmiAn thia week, one day, that we might lay before oar readers the exact facta relating to the present condition andj future prospects of the Fort Wayne and Pacific railroad project, an they "could be learned from the president and general agent of the B construction company who propose to build it and furnish the rolling stock. These gentiemcn were to have been here yesterday, bat through sonic nnexplained'delay they have not yot arrived, and it is now after 11 o’clock Friday morning.

Railroad Tax.

Some of the people of this county who are'in favor of a tax to aid the Fort Wayne Sc Pacific Railroad are troubled with the idea that the tax. levied last summer for the defunct Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago project mast be levied, and if this present election is carried, they will be compelled to pay for both roads—four per cent in all. Nothing can bo further from the truth. In event the election is carried, next Saturday week, in favor of the proposition of a two per cent tax in aid of the Fort Wayne A Pacific Railroad, the question for the Commissioners to 'decide will be, which appropriation shall be levied? There can he but one tax collected, as will be seen by refering to the thirteenth section of the Railroad Appropriation Law, which reads as follows: SBC. 13. No county or township shall be authorised, by the provisions of Skis act, to appropriate to railroad purposes, or to raise by taxation for such purposes, to exceed two per centum upon the taxables of such county or township (as said taxables shall appear on the tax duplicate of the county,) in any one period of two years. The friends of the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago project need hare no fear that anything can be done to injure the prospects of that enterprise. It is dead to all intents and purposes. The engineer's report of the cost of its construction io conclusive that the project is not feasible. His estimate is that it will cost eight thousand dollars per mile to prepare the road bed for the iron, and any person who gives the subject a moment’s thought will know that the people along the line can not and will not raise to exceed one half this sum, and the route is not of sufficient importance to induce capitalists to build it forthem. The officers of the company know this to be the condition, and publish that they have suspended active operations for an indefinite timeTh.e beirrg the case, we ask, is it not better for as to turn our attention to the Fort Wayne A Pacific Railroad, and vote it a reasonable donation? If the road is built wo will be the gamers, this much is conceded by all; if it is not built wo lose nothing, as the tax will never be collected. Let us say here that this company—the Fort Wayne A Pacific—have not and will not ask one cent, to survey the line, obtain the right of way, or tor any other purpose, but they simply and only ask that in event the rqad is completed we donate them a specified amount

Ths South Bend Union, the Winamac Dtu.ocral and the Stark couu ♦y Ledger, all democratic papers, apeak favorably of General Packard as the proper man for the republicans of this district to nominate for congress. We have heard psveral of the influential democrats df thia county speak in the same manner. The inference in plain.— They know Mr. Packard's course has created mortification, chagrin, bitterness, strife and wide-spread dissatisfaction in the republican ranks, and they hope his re-nomi-nation will drive enough voUS from - hh ticket Jo secure the election of a dwmnrrat ■ We hear that a happy father in theeountry has lately ken present *d by hi. proud spouse, with a sixteen pound babe.-Z< V orfe HcrM

Will it be Legal to Vote a Railroad Tax on the 16th?

Eos. UaipN: In view of the fact that'onr people last fall voted an appropriation to the Indianapolis, Delphi A Chicago Railroad, the question suggests itself whether they can on the 1 6th of the present month, vote anotheg appropriation to the Fort Wayne A Pacific Railroad. It is believed by some that such a vote will be a nullity. Others again bold that it will be legal, and that if it is decided in favor of the appropriation, our County Commissioners can at their next regnlar term in June, levy the tax, notwithstanding the former election and vote in favor of the appropriation to the 1., D. AC.R. R. I concur with those who advocate the latter view, and I shall attempt to show that our citizens can legally vote an appropriation to the Ft. W. AP. R. R.; that our Commissioners can legally levy a tax for that purpose; and that it will be lawful for them not to levy a tax for the 1., D. AC. R. R.

Those who insist that no appropriation can be made, to the Ft W. A P. R. R. rely upon sections 12 and 13 of the act of May 12th 1869, in relation to levying taxes for railroads. Section 12 provides that “if a majority of the votes cast shall be in favor of such railroad appropriation, the Board of County Commissioners, at their ensuing regular June session shall grant the prayer of said petition and shall levy a special tax of at least one-half "the amount specified in said petition,” Ac. Section 13 provides that “no county or township shall be authorized by the provisions of this act, to appropriate to railroad purposes, or to raise by taxation for such purposes to exceed two per centum upon the taxables of such county (as said taxables shall appear on the tax duplicate of the county,) in any one period of two years ” Now it is contended by those opposed to the proposed appropriation to the Ft. W. A P. R. R., Ist, That as an election was held last fall upon the question of making an appropriation to the 1., D. A C. R. R. and that as a majority of the votes cast at that election decided in favor of the appropriation, the Board of Commissioners under section 12 above referred to, must at their next June term levy a special tax to aid in the construction of said railroad; 2d, That as the amount decided at said election to be appropriated to the L, D. A C. R. R. was about two per centum on the taxables of the county, under section 13, above mentioned, uo farther appropriation can be made until two years shall have expired, .after the tax is levied for the first appropriation. ... It is clear I think from the sections quoted that if a levy of taxes be actually made for the 1., D. AC. R. R., no levy can be made within two years thereafter for any other railroad. But the question is, can that levy be avoided, and if so how? The petition referred to in section 12 is the original petition, signed by at least one hundred freeholders of the county, praying for the railroad appropriation. It will be seen by this section, that before levying the tax, the Commissioners must “grant the prayer of said petition.” Bat suppose “said petition” should be withdrawn or dismissed by voluntary action of the petitioners, before it was finally acted upon, how could the Commissioners grant the prayer of the same? They certainly could not grant the prayer of the petition, nor levy the tax when the petition was no longer before them, any more than they could grant a man a license to sell intoxicating liquors in a less quantity

than a quart at a time, after he had dismissed his application. But can the petitioners after the vote is taken and decided in favor of the appropriation, and before the petition is finai. 1 V acted upon by the Commissioners', withdraw or dismiss their petition? Why not? Where can a precedent 5® found denying them such right? It true the act referred to says nothing about such right, nor does the act providing for the change and location of public highways expressly provide that the petitioners for such change or location may dismiss or withdraw their petition before the final action of the Commissioners. Yet such withdrawal or dismissal is sanctioned by the universal practice in all Commissioners’ courts. Nor does

the act for licensing the sale es im tor testing liquors in a less quantity than a quart at a time, provide that the petitioner, before his application is acted upon, may withdraw or dismiss his petilkm, but how absurd jt would be to say that he

right of petitioners for a railroad t*x to withdraw or dismiss their petition before it is granted by the Board, and consequently before the tax is levied, is sanctioned by goid common sense and the practice in all analogous cases. And I also think it is in harmony with the general statute prescribing the duties and powers of County Commissiouers. .Section 9of that act, on page 249 of the 2d vol. of the Revised Statutes, Gavin A Hord’s edition, provides that Commissioners shall comply as far as practicable with the rules of conducting business in the Circuit Court In the Circuit Court, a party may dismiss his action at any time before the jury retire, or when the trial is by the Court, at any time before the finding of the Court is announced. Section 363, 2d vol. G. AH. Is it not practicable for the Commissioners to comply with this rule of the Circuit Court and allow petitioners for railroad appropriations to dismiss their application before there is a finding of the Board upon the petition, or tn other words, to allow them to dismiss before the Board grant the prayer of the petition as to making the levy? That the petitioners can dismiss their petition before the levy is made seems to be a proposition too plain to need further elucidation.

To avoid the levy, then, for the 1., D. AC. R. R., all that will be necessary is for the petitioners who asked the appropriation for that railroad to dismiss their petition before the Board act upon it at their next June term. When that petition is dismissed, there will be nothing to prevent the Board from granting the petition in favor of the Ft. W- A P. R. R.

I am informed a large majority of those who signed the petition in favor of the 1., D. A C. R. R. have already signed a paper indicating their desire to dismiss that petition before it is finally acted upon. This will be sufficient to authorize its dismissal. What we want is a railroad. We would just as soon have the 1., D. A C. R. R. as the Ft. W. A P., but the prospect of the former road is not good, while that of the latter is most encouraging, provided the necessary local aid can be sesured. There is no legal obstacle in the way of our giving it aid by a county appropriation. Let us do so and if possible secure the

road.

Remington Letter.

Rxmington, April 2d, 1870. Editors Union: Dear Sirs: — It may be that some of your readers would like to know the result of tho religious meetings that have been held in this place during the winter, particularly as it is known we have had some big guns here during the year, and I assure you there was heavy firing. I have taken some pains to ascertain from the different churches here the numbers added to their several congregations, which are as

follows: The Christian denomination has received thirty new members. I am informed that the religious interest began in the Presbyterian church the first Sabbath in January. Prayer-meetings were held every evening of the succeeding week and at each meeting adtjitionswere made to the membership. At the close of the week the additions amounted to fifty-one. The services were continued through the succeeding week and were then suspended some time. Daily services were again resumed in February and continued two weeks. As the result of these meetings, the denomination received, from first to last, an aggregate increase of sixtytwo members, twenty-one of whom are heads of families, the rest being young people grown or nearly so; and a deep interest was awak-, ened through the whole community. These services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Hughs, pastor of the church, Rev. Mr. Greenough, of Logansport, and Rev. Mr. Barr, of Lafayette.

The Methodists . have also been successful, their additions reaching seventy-seven new members, as I am informed. Most of these were new converts. Their services were conducted by Rev; Mr. Hull, PresidinggElder, Bev. Mr. Clearwater, of Battle-Ground, and Rev. Melvin Smith, of Elwood, Illinois. They are making arrangipents to build a fine a house of worship here this summer* Quite a large sum is already subscribed.

A general good feeling pervades all classes. Summing up, the whole number of additions’to the several denominations in this place during the past winter, I find it to be one hundred and Sixty-fSnc, which I think is doing well for Remington.

The I« D. A C. R. R. not to be Built at Present and the tax not to re levied in JASPER COUNTY. Rknssmlaxr, Ind. April 7, ’7O. Editors Union: We understand that our communication published last week in your paper has had the effect to create an impression with some persons that the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago Railroad is in a condition to be soon built and that the $42,000 tax voted in this county for the road will be levied and collected. Tho prospect for building this road at present is not good, and in our opinion the tax voted for the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago road will not be levied. Under the law there cannot be more than two per cent, levied for railroad purposes. If the tax for the Fort Wayne and Pacific road is levied, that for the Delphi road will not be; this the people may rest assured of. J. A.
