NORTHERN TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. APKIL 23. 177. RAIL MO AD P1COSPF.CTS. The friends ot the Alpena nBrwsi bib have tesfetl their strength in the Legis lature, and the bil! will doubtless go Where the one ct 1374 went. The bill eaine up in regular order on the 18th. and alter I few hours spent In discnisloii, it e;ime to a vote, mid w:ts lost, the bal lot standing 43 Bftjn to 42 yens. The passage uf the bill requJriag a two thirds vote of the m iiJi rs elect i o car ry, which s b', it Is vain to -'.ppoe th i! they can Ik! o'ta:n;-d, so that DOtWttfc stamlirig that Jie vote was iinineH r.ly pe-consh!ered. and tbo bil! laid upon the table, there is hardly a el a nee of its ulti mate passage. Its friend, however, may change it so as to call fa les tnpopint oriandanda narrow yme road, and brin it up again in a short time and try to pts itin that sh pc. T::e vote, r.s i stool, was a great surprise to Mr. KeUey, of Alpena, who had tl.e bill in eturge, and to the many lobyisfs had he-, work'ng hard ail viator to secure On land graut lor the road. The Ami ot the matter was as vras stated la the Tut : xic when the bill was first introduced, ih;.: it could not be shown tha: the road was one which would ben-lit, the state at lar'e. There Is no doubt that it would be a great tdraotags to th immidiate locality where the road terminates and the points through .vhich it Mm, but outside ot Lfcfe ;he state would recrlvc very little benefit rem ;t. The feeling of the people of the state Is, and thci repraentative .n the Lais!atur3 are controlled by that tfieUmg, that lands should not be granted to railroad enter prises except when such railroads would be ol'a state benetlt. This is the case With the norlh peninsular appropria tion for the Mackinaw & Marp:ette rail road. The construction of this road would benefit the entire state. Millions of doliuis worth of pio luco is yearlv shipped from Wisconsin to the northern peninsula to support the mining popula tion there. It would he seufc from Minn. igau if th. re Wm a railroad. The upper portion of the southern peninsular, where there arc millions of mum of the best wood land, would soon have iron furnaces scuh-redov.-r ir, and the state at large would receive immense benelits. lo, leh roads us this, thestate will be willing ro make appropriations of lands. Th grant asked for for an extension of a road to Cheboygan, comes under this Mm. It is a part of the same plan, and hould receive the same support, and would if the people and representative all understood the matter as it redly is. Whether it will or not, eannofbe deter mined as yet. We know that" this bill had manyYriends on the grounds named that the Alpena railroad bill did not have, and we anticipate a larger vote in its fa vor than that received, and we trust ir wiil get the toeaMt two-thirds vote. VESSEL, IS -EliESTS. The indications now are that the ves sel interests J which have for the years since the panic been in such a depressed state, wiil. during the present season, re vive somewhat. It is'not expected that the improvement will be very marked or rapid, but the bottom has been reach ed, and that vessel owners will now com mence to receive remuneration from their property. The past years have been so disantrous to vessel interestsjthat very km repairs have been made upon them none which could possibly be avoided. The result is that the lake vessels as a thm are in poor condition, needing very extensive repairs. These they will re ceive so soon as the business will war. ant any such expenditure. Close upon the improvement of the vessel interests come. n revival of the ship building Interests One b dependent r.pon the other. The dry docks upon the lakes aie anticipating a large increase of business during the prosent year, and are making their ar rangeu'ents accordingly. Taking all these facts into consideration, would i: not now be a good time feroaf citizens to take some action toward securing a dry dock at this place I Whenever vessel interests revive the dry docks wdl all he crowded to their utmost capaciry. As soon as there is a prospect tor business, it would not be dillicnlt thing to secure a dock here. Everything which has any bearing upon this should be carefullv w.i ciit-d. and whenever the - signs are fa vorable" the blow should be struck which would secure to Cheboygan this important enterprise. The New Oi leans Democrat has a col urnn of scandalous abuse of the northern Methodists. This is a sample sentence: ' OKI Praise God-Barebones, of the Cfoin vvellian epoch, vvms a broad and liberal Christian by compari-ou with these North IfetlMMlitt ranters, who have been fourteen years trying 10 obtain control ot" the government, and whose religion consists in a bastard m xiure of the words of Christ With the meditations ot the thieves between whom he was cruci fied." The Democrat is the organ of V s in I.'" isina. This indicates the spirit in which those fellows want to be conciliated.

Charles Fraxpis Adams pubises nnother letter on the Presidential ques tion. Commenitng on It the New York Evening Post says: '"If this letter had been printed without a signature.or with out an expl- a.rry account of tl econ lrm ed non-partisanship of its author, we should have supposed that it was writ ten by one who was not only a party man, but one of that impracticable class offpolHeians who are called in cconcil ables.' " The anti-Mormon element in Utah propose an amendment to the act of Con gress organizing the territory, providing that "no person living in the practice of bigamy or polygamy shall be permit ted to hold any office, or vote at any elec tion, or to act as juror, and that all votes shall be by secret ballot." The mass meeting at Salt Lake City at which this measure was proposed, has already been noticed, but the agitation still continues, and this newaggie-sive movement is very popular. The proposed amendment disfranchising those who continue in po lygamy, would, it is claimed, work out a speedy and thorough reform, and avoid many complications. THE WIDE, WIDE WORLD.

An examination of th text of the bill now pending in the State Legislature to amend the lieu laws a relating to logs and lumber, shows that in one respect at h'ast, il is a very important measure. The first !-ection provides that any person or person that may pet form any labor r services in tailing, cutting, hauling, bank ing, driving or running any logs timber, (or staves) in this state, (or shall jfire aid in performance of such labor or off services, by furnishing, hauling or c oking any provisions or supplies that may I p used to aid in the performance f any labor or service III falling, catling, hauling, banking, driving or running any logs, timber or staves a fores iid) shall have a lien thereon, (Of the amount duo for such labor or services and the same shall take pMcedence iff all other claims thereon : Provided, That when such aid, labor or services performed lor any con tra. tor, sub contractor or jobh r, I e united amounts due toy such aid, lab r or service, together with the cos's in curred in enforcing such lien, shall re main a lien on such logs, timber or staves, the amonntof such lien and eots shall not exceed the contract price tor falling, culling, hauling, banking, driv tna apd running such logs, timber or stwes, and all amounts paid in liquid -tiou of such hen shall apply in payment on ihe coutracr. bet ween the owner of such logs, timber or staves, and such contract, sub contractor or jobber. The second s ct ion provide that the pet'tiou shall e: forth tne nature of fwh demand or claim and the fourth section shows the manner of proceed lire Under the act. Bur tin- uio?r import int point is contained in h eventh section, wnieb, aaraaX other things, pwv uea that a i 'x ecuiiou baaed upon a ji'dgi ment. n'cov erei under the provisions of the act may he leviel upon the logs, timber (or stives) or other property of the owner or owner. Off tao property of the e nnractor, BUh contnetor or Jobber for whom said work or service weie. performed or aid giv;n. It is t weil known faat that onalranli are entered into between lumbermen and jobbers which stipulate that th ovym r of I he pine shall faTuh avlj sup plier necessary for ihe prosecution of the work, or mahe advance payment for the purpose of enabling the jobber to nihil It's part of the coniraet. In this wav it of en happens that by the time the logs are ready for the delivery very little re mains of the contract price imp id. an 1 should the jobber so will the owner of the iogl miirhf. he made to pay the out standing indebtedness ol the jobber, Un oer tiie provision above quoted the ov n er of the logs would have no redress whatever, as an execution lonld not only he Je led upon tbe logs, but on any eta property of the (Aimer or owners, in caae i he coutiactor was not responsible for he labor bill. This feature (,t the hi 1 i a very important one to lumbermen, and pJlOUld receive attention at their ban's, as ir- passage has been recommended by the QnaiM commit I ae on the Judiciary.
