THE SHEPHERDSTOWN REGISTER AND JEFFERSON COUNTY ADVERTISER. Uegieter. Kill VV II. 1877. rropiAKisir, Tho late troubles have been the cause of quite a prolific crop of notions and schemes of political economy.

Some of those who believe in repressive measures as the only means of saving society from disintegration are advocating an increase of the artsy and cotifening larger powers upon the federal government. Others again argne that there can be no assurance that the country will safely come out of its perils until the question of the proper relations of capital and labor are once and forever set at rest. There are still others who think there can be no peace until a gen eral It veiling process is inaugurated by which all will be made to stand upon the same tooting, and that the millennium fchall be ushered in by a general distribution of property. This last notion is perhaps the most Utopian of all. Suppose for an instant that the thing were possible, what would be the share of each individual were all the wealth of the country equally divided It may be safVly said that each would not be nearly so well off as he is at this moment and that wealth wculd toon find its way luck to the hands that hold it now, KealJy, the thing is absurd.

It is the argument of the man who is too lazy aud loo contemptibly meau help himself forward in the world. Were this idea to prevail, the man of brain and enterprise and energy would simply bo taxed to support the idle and vicious. There are already too many droues in the hive. One man's chances to rise in the world am really very little better than especially in America, It a man would be wealthy, let him be industrious, economical and honest. These are the only essentials necessary to success.

The man who acts upon these principles uever fails to rise. In regard to the first proposition, we think there is no need of increasing the army or of enlarging the powers pf the central government. The late disturbances have not shown that either are necessa- ry. The honest masses of our people are not given to outbreaks and riots. These thiugs are exceptions with us.

aud exceptional causes have for the first time developed tho fact that we have I breakers ahead which it were well to avoid. With the people profitably em- ployed there is no danger of popular commotions. And here arc questions for political tconomists to solve: How bhall the industries of the nation be promoted? IIow shall both capital and labor find profitable employment? the one being essential to the oiher. A solu- tion of these problems will possibly engage the best minds of the nation for some time to come, and let us hope that the result will inure to the good of all. TI1U OPPORTUNITY.

The present season has been, as every cue knows, exceptionally prolific. The whole land, in length aud breadth, is fairly groaning with abundance. There is plenty everywhere. The Almighty Giver of all good has showered Ilis blessings upon our common country with a lavish hand, and there is uo complaint in any quarter. The time therefore seems propitious for ihe iuauguiation of that prosperity to which we have been so long and so patiently looking forward to.

The farmer now feels and knows that his toil has been amply aud generously rewarded. Now he can pay ihe merchant tor advances and tho laborer tor his work. They iu their turn can pay Die manufacturer and the mechanic tor the products of their industry and skill, and with the money thus put in circulation the mechanic and the merchant cau pay the farmer for his corn and his wheat. And while all the of business are thus put in motion it may be that 6ome of those in arrears to the Register may drop in and gladden our eyes with a view of much needed greenbacks. Who will be first to start the ball? It has been many a day sincc so fine an opportunity for a general revival of business has been afforded, aod that it should bo availed of we presume no one will dispute.

Let the good work begin at once. Let the ham and roar of industry be heard on all sides, as was its wont iu ante bellum days. Then we will hear no more of htrikes aud commotions and uprisiugs for bread. people at tvurk is a people Let us hurry up a little the "good time coming." CeT Co. Reunion.

Nlie.Y VAI? KAILBOAM. We append from the Clarke the following article upon a subject which should deeply interest the people of JetTersou Last week we briefly mentioned the fact that arrangements looking to a resumption of work upon and an early completion of the Shenandoah Ilailroad, were in process of consummation There are conditions, however, to be complied with before the work can L'O on, and we will endeavor to state theiu, an they were given to us, as wel as point out the necessity that exists tor a compliance with them on the part of those holding claims against the railroad company. Mai.

V- L- Boyce, vice-president ot the S. V. K. R- succeeded in rrettin" a party of New York capitalists and contractors interested in the completion of his road, and it will be seen, on reading the extract given Mow, from a letter received by him, that thi) have promised to accomplish the referred to, provided a settlement is made with the company on the terms desired, to-wit That all those holding claims against the railroad company I shall compromise the same by accept' ing an income bond for the amount so issued as to constitute a tiratlien onthe net earnings of the road. 1 hat these income bonds will prove to be a valuable paper after the road is completed can not be doubted, when we reflect that the road will be encumbered with amortgage of only per mile the payment of the interest on which would take precedent of the income bonds proposed to be issued.

There is scar cely a road in the country that is to double the amount of the sum deemed necessary to complete the -hen. Valley road. And here we will remaik as our readers well know, that we have ever maintained that this road would never be built as long as the old contract, which proposes to road with a mortgage of pei mile, was in force. We were confident that capitalists would not invest their money ia an enterprise that could promise them no returns for the uivestmen and hence we argued that it was the duty of the railroad company to Urea with those whose hold upon it served to check all future operations towards its construction. The arrangement now about to be entered into commends the bends of the'eorapany to capitalists as good investment, as there is every reason to believe that the road will be ablt to pay more than the interest on 0 per uiile? the amount of mortgage called for under the new contract.

The necessity for an adjustment ot the outstanding claims against the railroad company, before the parties at present negotiating to construct the ioad consent to undertako it, is fully manifest Should they commence to deliver the ties and iron to puttheioa in running order, they are liable to )e posed by law-suit at every step taken, by sheriff serving an execution on whatever material ho may lay his ban satisfy the claims held again the railroad. No business man will buj at. feuit; aud until some arrangement this kind can be made with the creditors ot the road they will in a better condition to realize tbei claims than they arc now, wnen it is impossible for them to get a dime towards the payment of the same. Ihe amou of indebtedness of the railroad company is, we are informed, about Of this sum parties representing 000 have agreed to accept to amount the income bonds of the company, based upon the net earnings ot the road, and there now remains but held by various parties along the route of the road, to be adjusted on the terms proposed. While most this amount is in small sums, it is dean able that every creditor of the railroad company shall stand upon an equal footing, and all shall share to the full extent of their claims the responsibility to be incurred.

While the road is lying in its present condition there is no possible chance for realizing a copper, and there cannot be a change in the present -co iditiou of its affairs as long as a sherif stands prepared to levy an execution oo whatever material is delivered to comPl Endeavored to make the situation plain to our readers and to those who have claims against the company, so that due consideration may be Kven to the subject. The letter dressed to Maj. liojee, lent ot the railroad company, is dated July aud recites That lie the head of the is ready at a moments notice to commence furnishing ties, rolling stock, for your road, and will put it in running order at the earliest moment possible, when ever you will closc the road from all its incumbrance, as he lias agreed with you, so that he will have no embarrasnr.ents or difficulties after he commences operations. And if necessary, wc will assist you in completing the road bed for ties and rail, and take and help you to convert your county bonds to for the same. Wc think by using proper energy, your road can be completed and put running order(provided we have a mild winter) in less than one year from today.

Now we think that you must see that since you have succeeded in getting your Philadelphia matters arranged, and Scott and others are willing to take income bonds for money advanced, that you should have no difficulty in arranging the right of way along the line, or to pay the Indebtedness due the line, with income bonds. Then you will have your road completed and put in running order with your county securities and the issue of 1st mortgage bonds in such small quantities, that the first mortgage bonds can be disposed of at nearly par. All bonds, except governments must be goldedged to be sold at par in the market now. 6 oT A meeting of the Board was held at Charlestown on Thursday last, for the purpose of making arrangements to prosecute the work. Plbuc Sales.

We invite attention to the following sales in the llegister J. S. Bragonicr and Geo. M. Btltzhoover, Special Commissioners, will otter at public sale, a Honse and Lot, in ShepherUstowu.on 18th oi August.

J. S. Bragonier, Trustee, will offer at public sale, a Lot of ground near town, ou Saturday, the 18th" of August. Daniel Getzeudanner, Assignee, will offer at public sale, on Tuesday the 28th of August, an excellent farm, coutain1 ing 256 acres. Tiik Canal and tiik I formation was received at Gov.

Carroll headquarters yesterday that some canal boats had left Sir Hun, and the indications were that the blockade on the canal would be abandoned, lhe ijitnation now appears to be somewhat similar to that on the railroad at one time when the strikers gave up interference with trains, but prevented the hands from going to work by persuasion and intimidation. Sheriff May berry, of Washington county, with a posse, visited the vicinity of Sir John's Run on Monday and demanded the way to be opened. 1 lie boatmen replied that there was no blockade? that the channel was free to navigation. The Shtriff ordered the boats to move along, and six captains were about to start for Cumberland when one of them requested all the boatmen present to give their opinion by vote as to wether he should go, agreeing to abide by the result. I The boatmen unanimously decided that he should not go, and the boats i were again tied up, the crowd cheer- ing.

No vole was taken yesterday at Sir John's Run on the matter of returning to work. A party of sixteen boatmen went in skill's from the lourteen mile level to Sir Johns Kun to 1 vote, carrying a United States flag with the motto "One dollar or no freight." A meeting of boatmen at Wiltiamsport voted unanimously for 85 cents and 90 cents, with a reduction of trippage sufficient to cover their de- mauds of and 1 lie boatmen have agreed to permit Mr. H. G. Wagner's steamers to pass, as he has a contract to supply the New Itork Steamship Company's line running between New York and Washington.

For the past three weeks the line been using anthracite coal. Mr. agner buys the coal at Cumberland and tians ports it in his own boats. The prospects for the resumption of work on the canal gives the miners further hopes that their demands will be conceded. The Franklin Company have conceded the demand, and have set their men to work at 55 cents.

The mines now working are the Franklin, 1G0 men, 55 cents; Georges Creek, 187 men, 5o cents; Potomac, 50 men, 55 cents; Hampshire and Baltimore, 50 cents, and the Piekell mine, owned by the Piedmont Company, men, 55 cents. Col. II. Kyd Douglas, aid to Gov. Carroll and representing him at Cumberland, came to Baltimore yesterday and had a conference with the Governor on the situation, lie returned toCumbeiland in the afternoon.

Gov. Carroll went to Annapolis yesterday morning to attend to some State affairs. His staff continue at the city hall. Baltimore Sun Wednesday. military opening tiik canal.

The situation on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, which has been blockaded by thc boatmen since Jrue 1st under a demand tor a dollar a ton for carry ing has now assumed another phase. 1 lie prospect for a settlement, of the trouble without at least a show of armed force has passed, ami it has been determined to afford protection to all boatmen who desire to navigate the canal and to clear out the obstructionists. The posse of Sheriff Mavberrv, of Washington county, which was sent to Hancock to break the blockade, was laughed at and proved ineffectual. Mr. A.

Gorman, president of the canal, had a long interview itli Gov. Carroll in Halt ijnorc yesterday on the. situation. Gov. Carroll communicated with Gen.

Barrv, commanding at FortMcHenry, and asked for the co-operation of federal troops with the State Torres in clearing the obstruction. Gen. Harry promptly responded to the call. The Governor then instructed Adjutant General Bond to issue orders to the Seventh Kegiment, M. N.

Col. James Howard, to put his i command under march ing orders and report at Hancock, to Col. II. Kyd Douglas, aid-de-canip and acting for the Governor in Western Maryland. It is understood that Gen.

Harry at the same time sent orders to Gen. Getty at uiuhct land to co-operate with his force from that voint. The regiment will disembark at John's Hun, and march thence three miles to Hancock, where about two hundred boats are lied up blockading the canal. Hancock is about fifty-seven miles from Cumberland, where Gen. Getty's troops are stationed.

It is expccted the Seventh Maryland will reach Hancock from Baltimore at about noon, and will simnlt; neouslv joined by the United States force from tiie West, and operations will be begun immediately. It is stated that the boatmen have organized themselves into a secret association which they call "The Brotherhood of Boatmen," and have divided the canal into six diitriets, which they call posts. In regard to the opening of lhe blockade of the canal it has been determined first to secure the arrestof the ringleaders, a course which proved successful in the late railroad troubles in the same region. The names of some of the ringleadors have been reported to the State authorities here, and also the names of parties suspected of burning the canal steamer at dam Xo. 0 last week, which was to pass the blockade.

It, is believed that when the ringleaders have been secured Intimidation will cease and boatmen will be found ready to resume navigation at less than one dollar a ton. The breaking of the canal blockade will have a material effect on the situation in the mines, where the miners are holding out for a difference of five cents ton. It is stated that there arc about 700 canal boatmen at various points, including about 300i the vicinity of Sir John's Run and Hancock. The ringleaders do not number more than 15 men. The total number of canal boats ordinarily operating on the line is about Balt.

The Governor of West Virginia failed to do his duty in not coming to Martinsburg, order the sheriff to summon a "posse comitatus," read the riot act, advise the disorderly to an observance of the law, try the power of moral suasion, and the strength of the military power ot the State, before obeying Mr. Garrett's command to call for Federal interterence. This is a very damaging precedent, which should receive close criticism and severe investigations.
