As a matter of fact there are Hire- fjiv.it )'iitt'crs for jioed or evil, viz: The Pulpit, tlit* J'res.*, and tJir Theatre. * >ur best religion and our highest forms of morality aiv always 'look**! for and always found in the Church, tnl'hcdim past t lie eliuivh dcvnied the press an instrument of the l>e\iiand held its power in fear. I!;it now, the press is not only hit (My under the intiueiiccof the church, hut that powerlul :>:;cnt Is partly ownvd t>y its different branches, and it is today it handmaid which wields an inlluence almost, if not C'jinl, to ttie dirict intliu nee of the church itIf. A< neither the pics nor the theatrewill ever l>e suppressed hy any human power, it would seem to us to he tin part of wisdom for the chineli to seek to control the theatre as it jiow makes the press subservient to Its inier - m,..,.. in t Ik- t'liitoii States .'1 11... ..V - . in some way, Ieiui their intluencc in bcluilf of '.he church, ami any \\ idcly circulated newsTajx.-r which regularly publishes sermons does more lor the dissemination of Christian truths than do all the preachers in the city in which that paper i? printed. Sinccthoehureh In its uMmIiiiii ami In its strength, in the sanctity of its religion ami in tlicporitvof morals, lias drawn to its support the aid of what was once deemed a eorru] t pies?, why may it not In like manner seek to utilize the magnetic powi-rand brilliant talent of the stage? As it was useless in olden times for tiie church to try to impede the progress of the press, soany present effort to suppress the$ta;:c of the futuro will he 1'iitilo. The stage will continue forever. As it cannot bestopped until human * isaturc shall have heen changed, we think it J v,vm!d be well f;>r the church to recognize a fact that must bo patent toall, and then in a practical buslncssdike way, seek to control it, and thereby gain an ally from tlie enemy. nlmso energy won hi mi:: suengwi ?iiiu unv tive power lo the church in lis buttle lor human happiness. The three Rreat powers for t'ooil or evil being tho pulpit, Hie press, and the stage, they would exercise a miuhty influence if they would harmonize and work together for the ?;ood of humanity nnd lor the advancement ot the Redeemer's kingdom, l.et the church recognize the fact that the ihcatrc will rem:ii:i witl* us forever, and then l?-t it seek its aid in a glorious work. The ?1 xxoci'itc Jlc/ori:icd l*resbylrri(m says: ~ Tlio vi rv ciavijilt fi-r tin so uI.imkcI plfiiMirt-s [tlie tlruiiv ainl tlje tlicatrv] is an tilarmiiis symptom in tho religion* lii'c ?'f :in>" |irnft >s,.(| follower of Cliri.-t.'" AVe would say that the>c cravings, toa greater or less extent, are natural to all young pco ^ pie, as well as to many old persons, me church, in our opinion,should recognize these r}j? tacts, and seek to warn the people against encaging in immodest dances, or attending the performances of a corrupt stage. This can he done by encouraging the modest dance and tiie ino'.il stage, wliilo the church members should at all times enforce Christian truths by precept and example. Ve believe that Christianity was never intended to make life less joyous or less happy. It is not the mist-Ion of the church to deprive us of the reasonable and innocent pleasures of life. For these reasons the church should seek to make the dance and the theatre of such a character as to he sinless in the sight of our Maker. Our Matu-r :di?:io can change our natures, but we can and should reform the dance and the tliev iitresoasto make them not inconsistent with Christianity. A corrupt, stage and a vulgar * ilaiicc should lie tabooed by all virtuous peojtle, no matter whether they are professing Christians or not. ^ The Xi'nbcrry tlcmlil n:t<I Xpiri. Our friend tlie Xeubcrry Herald ami .Vws makes a reply t<? our article in reference to Col. Coward's address and the public school?. Our position in reference to the free public K schools seems to be misunderstood. For this misunderstanding wo attach no blame to anybo.ly, as it i* possible that we did not express our idea cleatly. The Press and Jinnncr is as heartily in favor of educating the poor i't public expense as the Herald and Xeies can be, but the Press a/id Jlumu r opposes the system of education which makes the children of prosperous and well-to-do parents a burden upon the State. Such a course Is wrong In principle and demoralizing in practice. The Jfcruld ami JYews says: "Our contemporary forgot to s'atr lliit the few private rchools which it names :uiil which afl'irded the jru'itri* "f instruction to the son? of the rich few, have place to 1C7 public school* in AblevilJe county, which brine tho ndvantr>j;e? of an elementary education tvithln the reach of every nun's children.'' p* The flue schools of which we spoke and to P, which the HcruUl wi'l .Ycttvt refers, furnished 1 education to the poor at tho expense of the |\ . Ktato, but "the sons of the rich few" were [\ . made to pay for what they received. The I idea of taxing the poorest citizen of Uic connB ' > ty to educate tho ' sons of tlie rich few" is what we object to. Tiio attention of the I Jlrruhl ami AVw* is invited to s )tno sentences which appeared in the urticlv to which It re1^* plied: pTV. "Th it most estimable christian pentlcnnn, wh? is at jf the Itend of the |>ui>!ic schools in butith Carolina, tiev^ .\ er once referred to the defect in the law which allows i.ll Hit children o| the State to tie taught nt public exJ.oiine. whereas the law fih ililil be amended so that the H-liool fund should t't expended only in educating the children of sncli uiirents as are unable to p?y. lie did )iot seem to manliest any special anxiety to ascertain if such children are not munetlMies engineered out of V the pu'd'c schools. * * He <] j>i not explain if J tlie public fund is not un'awfully used in come locali" lie# to teach (ireik nnd Latin to some boys, while tlie door of the same school lioiiso may have been at the same time barred against the children of poor parents l.st ciiiuflit inu^fimHiin iti t!??? }.r??whn>4 irliii'h tlu? low iliri ots shall be tanirlit. * ? * lie did n?>t explain why the sohool trustees do not open Sulflelcnt sefi"ols I to iiccornni'?lute all uf the chiiilien, and cepcei.il ly the ( poor children." S It really seems to us that tho above senI tenccs arc plain enough to show that the ft J'rets and J'unncr is not opposed to the ciluca. H tion of the poor. fig The HcrctUl and .Vc?i?s concludes thus: ' Our frtcmt anil neighbor Is wnsiinc its strength Ir kicking against the common school system, lor it h here to stay. an>l the part of wisdom wouhl l-c to lend its iMlaeiice to correct and amend those defects anil t\ utilises which undoubtedly exist, but which run and will l>eelluiiniited leaving the free scln ols the^lory ol uur commonwealth and tho saleguaid of our dvtuu' ciatic institutions." AVe may be "wasting o:ir strength" but vre think that we are doing exactly what our friend recommend*,by "lendingour intlucnec "to correct and amend those defects aud "abuses which undoubtedly exist." After all, there seems to be no grout differcnce of opinion between the Herald and Sews and the I'ress and Manner. The CirnriiiiK I-'liiislifd. In a privato note from Colonel J. M. T,atliner, Sr., under date of October 12, l^s>, he ' Iaingl.nl to finnoonro to yon that Ilio grading o| tin- Savannah Valley l.'ailtuoil was completed this * morning." And we aro glad of the fact, nnd glad to ^ know the fact, it must bea great satisfaction to our friend to make the Announcement that tlicwork for which he has labored so lontr, tir.d jjivca so much of his time, lias been finished, nnd that, a railroad for I^owndesville, with cars oil it within sixty days, is within the range of a i>robabl!lty. The uew railroad will put new lite nnd energy in nil that coin:-' try.and II will become tho finest and most dok I ruble part of the up-country. Theexnmpleof otir Savannah Valley friends H \ is worthy of all emulation, and vre hop? to H' \ see Abbev ll'.o do lier w hole duty in her efforts \ to build tho road from this place to I0iinght\?. ' AVe have no doubt that the people alon^ tlie proposed road will give a utiiud and hearty fcuppoit to it. The whole country needs It, and we must bulid it at whatever cost. As yet we have heard no opposition to this road. Let Us build it, and net as one man. m* f A S'rojioscd Law. ^ The Register says: A youth man of Coliiti'Ma will prepr.ro n Mil to be li'tri.ilnc.

As.niviatc JC'/ormul ) l'rt xht/lcrl'tii I Wc believe every word contain in Hio almvc i ! statement, and think ttial every true South Carwliniaii, who lias Itccii lati.rht in regard I llio marriage relation with a holy sanctity, ! may consistently join a crusade against po-j iysratny In I lie territory of I'tali, and against j tlu> easy divorce laws in the States, lint sis .between tlie two evi!?polygamy ami *11voree,?we think South Carolinians would have little lillieuity in deciding that divorce j Is the grealei The Saints of Salt I.ake city I take care ol ai' their wives, ami their forms I of religion, teach the devotees in that faith to ' respect eaeli ami all of them, hfH in the Slates ; where divorce is granted :uid where the mar- i I riage vows mean nothing more nor less than i the continuation of the relation during the ! pleasure of either party, the holy regard for i marriage isdlssipat* d. I'olygamy, in ouropin ion, is a loss evil than divorce, nml yet our j Congressman, from divorce-s:ranting Stales, I j iioUl up their hands in ho!y horror at Morj manism, ami encourage divorce l.iwsat home. | Is not such a coarse blatant hypocrisy? l'orj our own pirt, we would infinitely prefer to j | see polygamy established in South Carolina, < than t:> wstne.-s the enact men I of a law gruntlug divorce to any man in this Commonwealth. According to our forms of marriage, divorce means legalized perjury--to say nothing of the consequent evils of breaking the marriage relation. A distinguished citizen who has s'-cn much of th? world, and who knows of the customs , of the people, has said that on no spot of ground on the face of tin; glo! e is woman so well protected as in South Carolina. In m I country is the marriage so easily eflectod. and j j in no place in tlio world is the marriage vow] | held with equal sacredncss. All legalized I forms which must be comtdicd with in other States and other countries, to make marriage vows binding. is against the woman and in ihc interests of the man who seeks to take advantage of lier. In Smith Corolina any acknowledgement of tlie marriage relation is sufficient, but in the States which prescribe J certain legal forms to be gone through with .I previous to manias', women aro often imposed upon by evil intcntioned men, and sometimes by good meaning men. For instance, not long ago a man procured a marriage license in a fictitious name. The marriage ccremony was performed. ISoth man and woman thought they were married, until informed to ttio contrary. Railroads in themselves, as factors in religion, are neutral, but Incidentally, they exercise a great influence in advancing reilslon. morality, and education. Their presence ! brings the whole country In close cominunljcation, and that communication has a I tendency to e']U".lize commerce, religion' i morals and iutelligcuco. Schools and |chinches are built along their lines at conI venient intervals, and excellent postal faeiiiI ties are furnished. The intelligence of the j whole people us thereby put nearer on a level, j The higher are toned up, and the lower are j raised tot'ie higherstandard. For tills reason | a single good railroad in India, or other nonI christian countries would do moro for chris* tlanlty than the personal ctlects of many IH1SMU.1H1 IC.*. Our Knilrontl I'rospects. It Is really gratifying to every well wisher of the town of Abbeville to witness the unanimity of our people on the subject of building the proposed railroad from Enriglit's to Abbeville, which road is to have quite an extension, both East and West, and which' when completed will be of the greatest value fo all the country through which it may run. The subject of gauco is much discussed. A majoiity seem to be in favor of a narrow Igauge. but wo arc quite sure that there will be 110 disagreement on that question. If we we arc able to get a standard gauge it would be desirable to do so, but a road wo must , have, and wo all know Hint a narrow gauge road can do all the work that wo need. From estimates which have been furnished as to the cost ot narrow gauge roads we teel ' perfectly certain that cur peoplo are able to build and own the road. The distance to Enright's is only about from fourteen to sixteen miles, and runs through a country which needs the road, and certainly runs to a town that needs its presence and its revivifying injlluence. So impressed aro our people with uic vtui.li; ui mi; iu?m <iiiu win ncvu iui ii, iiuu , we believe the townships from one end of the 1 road to the oilier will vote a tax. In the | town of Abbeville, we have not heard of a.single indvlduai who is not in favor of the road, i The road being with'.n orrircneh, it only re- J mains to be seen whether wo will make the etrort. Without tiic road the business of the town eaniu't Increase. Without it Abbeville wi'i be a llnishrd town. There being no room for division among us, ] let us for once aet together, in harmony and ! good feeling, and then let us all sinli or swim in the same boat. .J3- o -Op? Tlie U:\nS;. As far as wo have heard, every fclnglo Indi- 1 vidua! is pleased with the recent work of the Directors of the Hank in the election of the ofiicers, and tlie public are perfeetfy satisfied with the Directors. Their character and business tact is all that the public could desire. Active preparations are being made to go to work, and we have no doubt that the stockholders will find their investment a proiitable one, and from the recent inquiries for stock, we should judge that tlie olllccrs could now rtic up the stock to a much larger amount, though we believe it is not Intended | to increase the cupifil stock to any considerable extent. l'rofessor Young, of Duo West, came down last Saturdcv and added $2,500 to j [llh MUIU. A lease lias been taken of the bank buildj Ins. which lias been recently used as a part of I the Central Hotel, at a yearly rental of S;W0. J This includes only the bank building proper, j A call will soon be issued for fifty per cent, of the subscribed capita! stock, to be p;ild In on the first of December. Ai! the necessary papers have been forward! ed to the Comptroller of the Currency at j Washington. | After half the capital stock lias been paid In, a month or so will be required in which to i buy the bonds, and to engrave the plates and j to print the bills. I The bank will not be likely to be in active j business before the first of January.

It looks very much l'ke making unlawful acts tho liunrv of the rich ami crime of the poor,?Xews and Courier. We admit tho force of what our metropo!1 Itan neighbor says. Theoretically his ideas arc all right. But in practice our courts, it seems to us, have settled on a fine of ??>.00 for carrying concealed weapons, and we do not now recollect an instance where a gentlemen has been tlned more than this amount for carrying n pistol, while we believe there are instances where others have been sent to the penitentiary forsix months for the same of* i; fence. If ono man gets oil'with a tine and another has to go to prison, the punishment rj is unequal. It was with tho idea that puni, Ishtnentshould be the same to all. and not exI cessivc in any case, that we wrote. Tho pen* 1 ally for carrying a pistol should bo fixed by | law, and not left discretionary with the court. I If tIk: the penalty for carrying n pistol vrns fixed atSl.WJ tine oronoycur In the penIt iary, there would be a diminution of crime. ????* -CI" Explanatory.

At a public mooting held in the Conrt House In the interest ?f the Klberton and Abbeville railroad, the following delegates fur Abbeville wcro appointed to meet a similar delegation from Klberton lit En rig In'? to consult as to tho feasibility of the above limited toad: J. T. Parks, I* W. Periln, T. ('. Seal, P. llosenberg. It. It. Hemphill and Geo. C. Hodges. The delecation from Abbeville arrived at Kurigbl's at bitlf-pnst I'J o'clock oil Thursday, Stli instant, and found Urn. D. A Matthews and A. S. Oliver fiom Klberton, and Dr. W. M. Tacsrartand Cajit. Samuel Hester and Col. Ue -rgo Smith of .Magnolia to u nship, awaiting our arrival. It didn't take lis man} minute* to tl:>dout the fact that we were in the presence of two level-beaded Georgime, who la the common itfirlatieeof the day, meant business, to which we pioceokd after an exchange of the usual courtesies. It is not my purpose to rehearse all tho phases of tho Important and interesting investigation with which tne delegation felt themselves chaiged. Nor do I intend to be drawn till' from my sub)ect In lavish descriptions of tho splendid dinner spiead by our host Coi. George Suillh, though tho subjec. is ever so fascinating. At the request of the other delegates from Abbeville I submit to those interested in the matter the feasibility of a railroad outlet Kast and West from Abbeville l". II. I shall not speak of the absolute necessity to Abbeville of competing lines. 1 think it is universally luiict ded that before we can regain our lost prestige in commercial and mateiial prosperity, we must have another railroad. The only question with which we ire now concerned arc, (!) the direction &uu (2) the e-uiu'". Several routes, with enthusiastic and nblo elinm[li'iiis, have bevn submitted to the people for Consideration. The route now undurcnusiderutlon we think Is desirable, practicable. and cm to uiade profitable even to stockholders. That this new route be clearly understood let us consult Maury s Manual of (r.'ograpby, puce 45. A straight lino drawn from Abbeville to Elbcrton utid projected Westward will pass through Athens and Atlanta '1'hedistance from Abbeville 10 Klherton is iibout 32 inili-s, fr?>m Klberton to Alliens 85 miles.and froui Athens to Atlanta about W miles. The distance fruiii Abbeville to AI hens then is about 127 tidies. If the road be extended to Athens we would then have a Westward connection by both the Georgia Central and Uiclunond ami Danville systems. If we choose to project the road In an air line to Atlanta we will meet with abundant eucouiagemeiit froin ibe people along the line Irwin Athens to At'antn. Monroe, particularly, would enter as a material factor in the problem, so also would Lfiwrencevllie. Such a Western connection with the pent bwtithern ral'road centre would afford us all the benefits which Ibiw from through freights ai.il competitive lines, and give us that relief without which the material interest of our towu is doomed to tha "dry-rot." 'J'lie delegation, after considering the possibilities mid probaMUlii-s !n the case, deeiiled 1 believe unanimously, that an Eastward extension of about 75 miles to Chester, S. C.. would l e desirable, feasible niiiJ pro!* itibb'. In the li cation ot pidnts along the line Cokesbury ar.d Orcenwood would bee >me strong competitors for so valuable a prize. Cross !li!l and Splint: Drove would loom up as possibilities against their rival. Waterloo, in Laurens county. Clinton would bo lured with so tempting a bait, that she might reclaim H iine of the trade which is so rapidly deserting her. From Clinton to Cheater the road would p.iss through a splendid portion of upper South CinoHnn, and develop ? fertile country almost wholly without railroad facdlties. From Chester the road can be continued to Monroe, N. C., or to some point on the Charlotte and Wilmington railroad, which will furnish the needed outlet to deep water or to tho great commercial maris of the North. A road running from Atlanta through Athens, E.burton. Abbeville. Clinton and Chester would be almost a bee line of about 200 miles, and would traverse the garden spot < ( South Carolina anil ( .-otTu llip enlistriiclinn of ft i-nfitl in llio illt-i.p. ti?m lit re imKc.ited llie people of Abbeville anil hlbrrion :itv <ailed upon to enlist their sympathies ami invest their motley, Kxalt it ami it will promote thee.

Now let us See what is the l>e?t gauge. 1 have been very recently led to Investigate the relative value and cost of the standard gimge ar.d the turrow gauge rdlrontls. So far its my individual opinion is concerned I am l'ully convinced that the narrow gaug? road is beat for the South and tl.at it is tho gauge which wi'l be pern-rally adopted not many ytais hei.ee. Capt. \V. J. Kirk, well knr.wn In thin State, prefers it to the standard gauge, lie is now interested in the construction of a narrow gauge railroad from Fruit Hill in K.lgelleld to Greenville, and he declares that it wiii be extended, within a few years, frotn Greenville to Chattanooga. 11.

The attendance of students at the opening of the College yesterday was exceedingly gratifying to tin faculty and friends of the College, as it effectually dispels the fears entertained in some quarters, and, wc arc sorry to say it, the hopes in a few other quarters, that there would be a fulling off la the patronage at this session. At. tho close of tho exercises yestcrdny over 100 ol the <>!<! atnclentrt were on the ground, ami about W applicants for matriculation had presented themselves and been referred to the several Professors for examination. The*' examinations will continue dining tin week, so that it is impossible to say yet what the exnet number of matriculates will be, but enough it known to shoiv that there wlli be an increase over the last term. One curl"tis fact his been developed in this connection. which is, that from the Counties of Spartanburg and Darlington?where the strongest opposition to tlu College lias been developed, on paper?the largest delegation of students have come, there being Is or IS from the former and 10 or 12 from the latter County, Union also sends 10 students. This would go to show that the College has hail porno effective advertising at the hands ol its opponent* in those Counties. Several students come from Vanderbilt, from the University of Virginia and from oilier College*, and Bevc-ral who were obliged by circumstances to forego their attendance last year Cave resumed their studies at this These are all assuring facts which indicate that th* hubbub raised on the subject of tulliuii and exclusive education ?lo not tiiol a response in ilie mliuls and hearts of the people of tli<* plate, who are det-rinined to give proof of their cniilldenco in the College by sending their son* in increased numbers to bo educated withiu its walls.

A brief outline of the sehcin, is therefore given here that it limy be understood by those Interested : A XarriMV (iiui^o Komi that I'hjn 'I'wciily per eeul on IN Slock. A narrow gau^e rni'rond has recenlly been built i from Augusta, (in., smith for a distance of between 7tl j and Sti miles, by the exertions of Mr. .Mitchell, of An-j 1 gusta. who was a ni wspaper reporter. He induced j i people along the line to give ami Vote subscriptions, ; gnuliiully II mted I he bonds, and little by little built | his line. It is built ni:d equipped in the best manner I and has cost about ?4.500 a mile altogether. It is | operated at an expense i f less than $15.0JU a year mid pays VII per cent on its stock which can not be i bought at par. Man* narrow gauge railroads have re| celllIv been built ami profitably operated ill Florldii, and Mr. Mitchell is gradually extending his Hue to' waul that state, with tin: apparent purpose of reach| lug and connecting with them. The success of these reads inspired the Idea of buil ;i:ig i A Xnrrow (Jati^c from Augusta through Ivdvclipld Coiinly, in ill's oiau*, 10 newoerry or rrosjieniy anu ui'vuun, <li:uroiMtlly across the Male tu Chesier, where It would meet a narrow gauge road already in ?ucc<*.->sr>iI operatiim to L>*noir, N.

Money enough to builtl the roiiil ironi Augusta to Newberry lias already I'cell subscribed and the Settlement of a local dispute by survey is now ail that is being wulteO for. The Charter nml Examliintlou of I'rofiles. Captain Kirk then bit nn the Idea of tis!nir (lie old Port Ko\ al urn! Greenville charter for a i.arrow gauge road to tap the Augusta and Newberry load at Kinit Hill, a point in Kdgefleld county twelve miles this side of Kds.liel.i coiiit house. That charter covers what has been recognized lor ninny years as the na-1 Itiral highway from upper Carolina to Auv'ui'tii, tnuch of it being n To 111; a natural level ridge between the Uecdy and Saluda rivers on which there lire no water courses or other natural obstructions. After studying the Mitchell narrow gauge thoroughly, going over the plans, pioflles, estimates and ac.-ounts, ho began the work of pushing his idia, uud the Dueling of Friday was the result. Col. r. C. Law, of Abbeville, presided at the meeting of corporators on Kridav. He was compelled to leavo that night, and Iho deliberations of yesterday were pivsldi d over by T. C. Markley, of this city, who went as the proxy ol M. F. Anret, one of the original corporators, and was one of the must valuable tiielll bersofthe liuard. Cnptnln James Itogcr*. jr., of Ninety-Six, held a proxy lor Col. Law yesterday. The corporators lound that they had private sub' bcriptions equal to considerably more that half the amount estimated to bed quired for the grading of the pro|Kised roud, a liberal charter already obtained and A Written Guarantee to Flout Bonds of (lie 1'ioad t#i fl'tr nor r*?rtt nf ll? ri?Kt nt Ti?ir.

The board tor these reasons treated the road as n i reality?a living business enterprise to bo considered with gravity and eaie. Every st-p was made deliberately and uficr taking all the counsel possible. The result uiay be fluted in short space. The Line wax Locatcd, under the power given the corporators by the chniter, from a point ut or near I'm it II i II "by a practical route" to Ninety-Six ; thence to wiihin half a mile of the town ot C'oktsbury; thence to Ware's shoals, crossing the Saluda river there; thence through Sullivan township and near the line of Waterloo, Laurens couniy, along the ridge and following us near ns possible the line ot the Augusta dl.t road, through Dunklin Hud Oak Lawn towhshtps, Greenville county; thence to l'eizer (not crossing the l iver then) ; thence to i'iedtilolil; thence to Greenville. A call was prepared, ami ordered to be published, a* directed by llio charter, calling A Meeting of Stockholders at Xinctyfilx on November 131li for the election of a president and nine directors. The charter was carefully revUcd in an informal meeting lasting three hours, on yesterday, and suggestions of important aiiicndliithls were adopted. The chief ol these.were the changing of Iho name from "Greenville and I'ort l{oj?r to ' Atlantic and Northwesternthe rcjieal of tile sections expending the liability of stockholders lor general debts of the road to live per cent, more than the amount of their stock; the alteration ol scvvral Hectiui ? so as to provide thai|the ta\e.?;paid by the road shall lirst be nppll ed to the extinction of tile Imnds issued or tax voted to aid it. and that after tlio extinetion of said bonds or tax the tax nald by the road in each county or township voting a subscription shail be added to the school Kind of such county nr ttiwns-hij?; tlint in the event of j tin* payment rf dividends i>n the Mock tin- amount so | |i!iiil shall first be npplfviJ to the extinction of the bonds issued ?r tax voied in aid nf the road by the county or township holding such stock, ami alter such extinction litw* dividend* shall be received l>y the coun-i ty treasurers and the mills or fiw-tioi.n of mills represented l?y tile amount of said dividends deducted front the tax levy of the County or towusiiip holding such stock. TIio Charier {Jives the friends of the road pouvr to have an election he'd, under the direction of county commissioner mid after obtaining petitions for It signed by a lived piopor ion of freehold, is. In any county or township. The resolution of locution adopted by the board makes the location of the road through any township conditional on the subscription by vote of said township or by individuals in it of mi amount equal to r.l ler.at five per cent, or the nssesscd value of its property. The section forb'ildlni? tt.e expenditure of money given by any township or county outside of It was amended so as to leave any surplus remaining of the subscription of such county or township after the road is grail. d tinouuli it, fieo to bo applied to any other part of the road. !
