Ep ROBINSON, ESQ,
Pres't R, F. and P. r. X. Co.
Dear Sir-In yours of the 29th, you express
the hope to have another conference with me
before leave town I'm the event Of your (my)
determination on transshipmsnt" Neither my
self nor any member Of our Board have any wish
to resort 10 transshipment. We understand the
proposal 10 continue the use of the Louisa cars
al the present ate, three. fourths of cent a ton
per mile, to be connected with two other distinct
propositions the payment of $1,000 per an-
mum for collecting in Richmond money due 10
common to the two Companies, and subjecting
the Louisa business TO your neighborhood rates,
the refusal Of this proposition is no expression
of favor for transshipment, but opposition 10 the
new scale of rates
The disposition YOU express, to mitigate the
annoyances and inconvenience" to the custom
crs Of the Louisa road from transshipment, would
have been more appreciated, if you had not at
the same time determined 10 impose Increased
| burlhens on them. They would regard The
continued transportation of their produce, at
reasonable prices, as more UNIQUE slonabe ey-
| idence Of kindness, especially when you DO not
| pretend that il will cost any more to transport
after the lst July than before, nor that you lost
by the existing contract, but on the contrary
were willing TO transport for US al less than
common customers, il we were not Intending TO
make an independent road. Now, the making
of that road is one thing, and the charge you
made on our freight 10 another
Ii The transshipment il 10 be encountered,
am in hopes you will adhere 10 your promise to
make the best arrangements in your power al
the Junction; but if you insist that we shall in
cur the expense Of bringing our tracks along
side OF yours it will be Inconsistent with The
pledge given in 1897, and repeated in ls47 that
the transshipment, if made, would be without
charge 10 the Louisa Company. II you desire
any further conference, | shall be glad 10 see
YOU al nv room Respectfully,
ED. FONTAiNE, Pres'l.
P.S. go 10 Petersburg this evening, ami if
you desire it, will see you tomorrow morning
at 9 o'clock at the Powhatan House.

The investgaton,i in this case began on Friday but
was not completed. Hutohinson's majority was
eight The Advertiser says the entire day was con-
sumed in re-counting the ballots, without conclud-

or twelve in all-have been detected, and some
dozen more ballots are held under advisement by
the Court II is impossible, therefore, to say what
will be thsresult Of the count It would not be sur
prising if itshouldvary ten or fifteen votes, one way
or the other, from the first return. The count
would be continued on Saturday.

IRISH EMIGRAETs. John G. whittier, the

among US, says:
&c For myself confess feel a sympathy for the

people. That he loves his native laRd-that his
patriotism is divided--ihat he cannot forget the
claims of his mother sland-that bis religion, with
all its abuses, is dear 70 him--does not decrease my
estimation Of him. A stranger ia a strange land
he is to be always object Of interest The poor

all this apparent gayety Of heart and national drol

ELECTION INCIDENTS AT LoUIsvILLE.-On the
first day of the election at Louisvie-the 6th-an
attack was made tsays the Journa) on one Beutel,
the editor Of German emancipation paper. The
Journal gives the following statement:
Beutel, who is a very small and feeble man, was
pointed out on the pavement as an emancipation
German editor. Grey and some other fufTians then
advanced upon him. One Of them cut him across
the nose with knife, and then they knocked him
down and kicked and beat him nearly to death.
This account was afterwards corrected, as fol-
lows;
Late last evening we saw the city marshal, who
gives very different version He says he was
present and saw the assault Of Oregon the German
editor, and that Grey was alone, and gave the man
but single and simple kick and used no knife.
lie saysNhe German was crossing the street when
Grey knocked him down, and that, though it was
said the German used offensive language, he heard
him use none. II seems almost certain that the
assault Of Grey was entirely unprovoked.
On the next day-the 7th-thers was an affair
OF the same sort in which Seymour, the publisher
of the Louisville Examiner, was a party The
following account Is from the Journal:
The city marshal says that the other affair was
provoked by Seymour. Seymour, he says, cursed

nouT escaped and ran across the street, pursued
