The fortune* of th# Tuscarawas Valle
road and of the Pittsburgh, Wheeling.
Kentucky road neern on the point of cul
urinating iiniultaneously so far an thi
city is concerned. During the last se*
ion of the Legislature a law wa? paaiie
which enabled the counties of Brook
ami Ohio to transfer their intercut* in th
latter road to any parties or any raiiroa
company that uight aee fit to go on wit
Hie work. Under thin enabling act thi
road will undoubtedly be iiniahed. Th
profl|?ectri arc that work will be resume
at an early day. We understand tha
Mr. Thaw, of the Pennsylvania company
h tinally persuaded that the proper tirn
ban now come for returning operation)
both an respects the hard pan price n
which materials can now be had and tin
near at hand revival of busine*?.
Before summer come* we shall not In

The Tuscarawas Valley people have al
ready voted in stockholders meeting t
complete their line to Wheeling. Wt
understand from Captain McLure tha
they will put a force on. the road a
Urichsvillc, another op thin end, and i
third force at dome intermediate poinl
When commenced the company wil
throw their whole energy into the worl
of npeedy completion. They, ton,are c,
the opinion that the present isthegolde
season for building n railroad cheaply
wlulc iron rail* ate purchasable at $>
and ateel rails at $48 per ton. Whe
work stopped three years ago on th
P. W. & Ky.road iron rail* were sellin
at $80 per ton. ba that more than on*
half of the then estimated cost of coui
pletion has been saved.
In regard to the paying prospects t
these roads it can be said that they bot
ought to pay good dividends. The 1*. V
& Ky. road will certainly be a very chea
road in the hands of those to whom tli
two counties may donate Iheir Htocl
They will receive* a property on wbic
over $400,000 has been spent, for nothinj
and that only require* $200,000 to put
in readiness ior the rolling stock. To pa
8 per cent on this suui it would only nee
to earn $10,000 net. The net earning* <
the little G'hartiers Valley road, (betwee
Washington, Pu. and its junction wit
the Panhandle road) were in 1S74 (tL
last report we have seen) $18,130. Whs
then are likely to be the net earnings of
road between Wheeling and Pitsburgh.
As respects the prospects of the Tui
carawas Valley road, the report for ele\
en months of 1S70, just published, show
on the completed line between the Lak
and Urichsville. a net earning of $321
109 GO, out of a gross busmens of $S18
079 20, which was more than sullicientt
pay the interest on the first mortgag
bonds. When we consider the fact th:
thia earning was for eleveu month* onl;
and that last year was a verv trying oi
on railroadn, especially on uncomplete
lines, we can form Borne idea of what tl
line will be likely to do when complete
through from Lake Erie to the Oh!
river. A road that is only estimated I
cost $40,000 per mile, and that can hai
35 loaded cars to one engine, ought to I
[ able to approximate the profits per mi
of a road like the prosperous C. & 1
which is stocked and bonded at $83,0(
per mile, and that only hauls an avera<
of 17 freight cars to the engine.
Inasmuch as the two railroads we hai
named are likely to be prominently b
fore this community from this time fo
ward, it is well that we should unde
stand all the points upon which the
base their claims on our people ft
capital stock. The Tuscarawas Valie
road expectu not only to pay dividem
after a few years on its stock; but claim
that it will at once pay the people i
Wheeling immediate divideuds in th
way of improved business facilitie
especially manufacturing facilities. F<
instance, it expects to reduce the freigl
on ore to our mills and furnaces from'
to 75 cents per ton, which will be an ai
vantage of a highly important characu
to start with. This action on the pa
of this road will compel the C. ?St P. t
afford the same facilities for the sau
price, and thus we may hope to see tv
<u>|>wtHUit Jiuvn u> iumi bUiuiujj i" ui
very doors, both anxious to do busine.
. for us at minimum rates of freight.
Npecialtit'Min Medicine.
We had occasion in some comments i
the volume of proceeding* recently issue
by the West Virginia Medical society 1
particularly refer to a paper written ii
Dr. Friascl, in which he spoke of tl
ijuackery in medicine that was disguise
under the term specialist, and in whic
he cited the imposition? practiced on tl:
public by that class of pretended Specia
i?ts known as cancer doctors.
We observe some remarks on the sau
subject in the Bttfliilo Medical and Surtrie.
Journal, quoted from an address deliverc
by Dr. Frank H. Hamilton, of New Yoi
City, before the alumni of the Medic;
Department of the University of Buflal
from which we make the following e:
tracts:
"When 1 commenced the practice of m
profession, and within your recollectioi
we who Bimply called ourselves phys
cians and surgeons?general practiti'oi
era?occupied ihe held. Then- migl
hate been here and there a strolling S|>
cialist, but they failed generally to seem
the confidence of the people or to mali
any dangerous inroad on our practic
Our legitimate right to the entire territc
ry was practically undisturbed. Sim
then, however, following upou a few ?.
tablished successes, there has sprung w
suddenly a great excitement, such as ii
evitably follows the rumors of tlie discoery
of a new bonanza; and emigran
with no other capital than a pick and gu
have crowded into the territory and ne>
er so much as saying "by your leave
have selected their ground and drive
their stakes until little or nothing is le
to the original proprietors bnt the bai
rrn title of Doctors, which title is foun
t0bavenoweight in law againstintri
?"? l,,er? *" scarcely an orgs
of the body, or an anatomical or claiwiin
structure into which their stakes hat
not been driven, ami from which tresmei
ers are not warned."
After the above prefaoe the lecture
proceeds to give an amusing resume of tb
grand array of specialists to be found in !
, the land, in the couree of which he show* '
. up in a very ridiculous light Uie ignor* {
ance of many people concerning these ,
y specialists and of their auppoeed ability
^ to treat one part of the body or one de- '
|. rangeuient of the human ayitem, without j
IH reference to the general pathology of (
_ the patient. He mention* the 'cane of <
j a lady who at one and the name
e time van taking strychnine, iron and ,
e phosphorus from one doctor "to build
j up her nerves," and aconite, belladonna
j, and digitalia from another doctor "to
B lower the action of the heart," and who J
e applied to another specialist for Home- i
j thing for her lungs.
This in not a bad hit at a certain claim <
, of people who are continually ezperi- *
* menting with a great variety of doctor* r
| for real or imaginary ailment*, spending
t' more money in so doing than would lie *
B required to aecure the servioes of some
eminent medical man, and in the end ree
ceiving no benetit whatever but often- '
I times doing themselves much harm.
'* It was slated in yesterday'* issue that t
Mr. Arthur McKee wan to become con- (

" Extension.?An ordinance granting the 1
Wheeling and Elm Grove street railway 1
streets, from the intersection of Chapline i
m and lUth street* to Market street, wa^ t
!(] passed by the City Council last night. j
Q The object of the company in extending v
their line from the Capitol building to i
.v the lower end of the Second Ward Mar- i
it* ket, we understand, in to accommodate c
,1 the citizens of East Wheeling and Fulton, t
I and all others living: along the line of the 1
road, who desire to attend market. This t
10 extension will besides be a great conve- *
1- nienne to persons residing or having busi- c
ness in the upper portion of the city, taking
them about six squares farther than
, the present terminus of the road.
For a city of it* population, Wheeling
id is now well supplied with street railway J
k facilities. A Martin's Ferry man can 1
take a car at the ferry landing in North c
Wheeling and ride to Benson's F'errv, a <j
?? distance of more than three miles, and by d
s- crossing the ferry can continue hiB jour- d
ney to Bellaire on the line over there. '
Then the Bridgeport line connects with 8
* the rnaiu line here, and also with the 1
Wheeling and Elm Grove line, which 1
* latter will run into the country a dis- *
tance of about six miles. n

^ The Storm Kinu.?Yesterday's weath- c
; er puzzled even the o. i.?oldest inhabi?
tant. The day was sui penmi. Nothing
' like unto it "has been experienced for
" many a long month. Wednesday and r
Thursday were not particularly balmy; 1
" in fact, they were rather rough* But it i|
was reserved for yesterday to display in f:
j all its fulness the baneful influence of 1
u rushing, howling winds, of driving snow f
n and sleet; in short of a general conflict of r
the elements. Yesterday was a day i
? "hen everybody buttoned his overcoat a
* close up to his chin; when the street cars j
/. didn't much more than make half
time; when travel and traffic all over the
, city went at half pace, as if continually
forcing their way against some well-nigh n
" resistless obstruction. Down the brood c
j and unobstructed pathway made by the B
T river the storm came rushing with ter- <]
rific force. And how it dashed up the 1
'* streets that stretch beck from the river; I
how it howled alone the thoroughfare*
r which run parallel with the itmm; how c
e it roared around the earners, blinding the t
?ya? of luckle*s pedestrians with itn freey
scattered cargo of scurrying snow.
The snow rennet! falling about 10
/clock last night, leaving the ground
?vered to the depth of three or four
inches. As the weather became much
jooler during the evening,the ground wax
'rozen solid, making a good, hard Mirace,
oyer which numerous sleighs glided
imoothlyand musically during the night,
:arrying many light-hearted passengers,
rhoxe of our Iriaii citizens who so desire
nay to-day celebrate St. Patrick'* Day
villi a good, old-faihioned sleigh ride.

LOUISIANA AND SOUTH CAROLINA.
There are very well grounded intimatiwation*
that the Cabinet will, next
week, enter upon a thorough discussion
and determination by the government, on
the matter of deciding what course is
necessary to take in its relations to the
State governments in Louisiana and South
Carolina.
CIVIL SERVICE.
There has been a general conversation
to-dnv regarding civil service,but no rules
have been definitely adopted. It is given
out, however, that they will embody a denunciation
of Congressional interference
in the Executive appointments and removal
of competent officials to further
the political ends of any party.
Qualifications for office are to' lie good,
moral character and ability, and the re*
quirement that officeholders ahall discharge
their functions with an eye singly
to the public welfare. The assessment
of officeholders for political purposes is
to be prohibited.
The favorable condition of American
securities abroad has mote than once
been the robject of congratulation. The
calls ior the redemption of bonds are
likely to becoatinned, judging from the}
official report* to the Treasury from the J
syndicate in Eurpe.

San Francisco, March 10.?-A Chicago,
dispatch snys increased excitement prevail
there over the masaoere of Chinese
night before last. To-day a public meet- j
ing was held lnrgely attended by the most
influential citir.ens. Kesofutions were
passed deprecating the crime committed
and pledging the citizens to upe all mean*
to bring the perpctratorn to justice A
committe was appointed to further that
end. The excitement was intensified bv
the discovery of a placard on the office
door of what in known as the Keeper
ranchc, cautioning the proprietor against
I employing, on t>eril of the destruction of
his property, the Chinese. The gardeners
in the vicinity have had notices printed
warning all person* about approach!
ing their premises after dark, as they
will be in danger from the guards posted
for their own protection. A deputation
j of Chinamen Htarted for San Francisco
I to-day to procure from the Chinese companies
$1,000 to be offered as a reword
for the apprehension and conviction of
j the murderers.
| It has been asserted that the recent
' outrage on the Chinese had been prompted
by the action of the Sierra Flume Co. in
discharging the whites and employing
Chinese in their place; but thecompanv
state that no white men have been discharged
in the last two months and no
extra Chinese have been employed. A
strong disposition is evinced to hold the
| order of Caucasians at least morally responsible
for the outrage, though mem
bersol tho order Btrcnuouirly deny any
such responsibility, and assert their willingness
to assist in the apprehension of
| the criminals. Tin- job of clearing the
land on which these Chsnese were engaged
had been offered to the whites at
four dollars per acre more than the Chinamen
demanded, but it was declined.
Flood iu llio Missouri Itivcr.
Omaha, Neb., March 16.?The WisHouri
river is just now full of floating ice,
the result of the recent cold snap, and sn
immense ice gorge has formed in the big
bend, in a north easterly direction from
the Smelting works, causing the stream to
rise at that point, and overllow the bottom
on the iowa side for over a quarter
of a mile. The water pours down over
the Iowa banks into the main channels
forming a series of falls from four to nix
feet in height and over two hundred in
number, At one place the falls are from
forty to eighty feet wide and about six
feet high. This cut ofl' is what has been
expected for several years; its having
been an undisputed fact that it must
come sooner or later. It has long been
thought that the Missouri'would make
this cut oil and thus form a new channel
where this crcat body of water is now
rushing. It mav be that the gorge will
make :i permanent cut and thus allow
the water to resume its old course. The
hard frown ground may also, prevent a
new channel from being made.

Government which he would
continue to reflect until 1SS0. He censured
Minister Simon, who formerly de- q(
fended Kocheford. He said, that he jn
would respectfully accept the decision of
the Chamber, but would again raise his
head before the Court of Justice, if lie
should be arrainged.
Simon replying, objected to Cassagnael
invoking the Republican princi- dl
pies. He declared himself* still
an advocate of liberty, but the ih
Cassognac offence was against the C<
common law, viz: Inciting civil war. fo
He inveighed against the JionapartistH, di
