Mr.. j. NJ. HI. Beale has addressed letter to his
constituents of the Kanawha District, directing to
the resolutions which were pending in the House
of Delegates when he wrote, first, because they
recommended the appointment Of delegates to the
Southern Convention, and, secondly, because they
made the abolition of the SLAVE trade in the District
OF Columbia, cause of resistance, In this latter
respect the resolutions were modified, so that that
objection of Mr.. Beale's is obyiated As to the ac-
quiescence in the Southern Convention, we repeat
our strong conviction that, as cautiously guarded
in the admirable resolutions, drawn by Stanard of
the Senate, we do not apprehend any bad result
from the proposition. After her previous strong
declarations, it would have been unseemly, and ca
pable of miseonstructon, if Virginia had declined
a consultation with her Southern sisters on sub
jects affecting the welfare of all. Should the
Nashville Convention be impeled to any unwise
recommendation under the influence of rash coun-
sells, Virginia will not be committed to its adoption.
She has said what she will do in CERTAIN events,
and when those events occur, she will be prepared
to make good her word. 1.-THE Convention should
transcend the line of policy she has laid down, it
will still be for her to adopt or reject it's advice

"There is only one fact which, when it shall come to
the general knowledge OF the people, may change the

more attached to the constitution which inhibited slave

including the population of Monterey. (Which IL
situated little north Of 36 degrees 80 minutesJ there
were not in all that portion OF California down to
Mexico more than TWENTY-oNE persons opposed to the
constitution! This fact, which has not been knowr
here, or at least not in authentic FORM has already
alarmed certain southern Senator's and the question is
now debated whether the South had better admit Cali
lorna with her present limits or divide her in two and

But this statement excludes the important items
of repairs Of railway and repairs of bridges. The
repairs of railway are distinguished into ordina-
ry and extraordinary. The ordinary repairs in
clude all those necessary for the maintenance of
the track, ercep The reneaoal Of The iron, and this
constitutes the extraordinary repairs. The ordi-
nary repairs on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
west OF Harper's Ferry, amounted to $9s2 per
mile Ia lS40; on the whole line of the road
(Which Is not laid continuously with the heavy
rail East OF Harper's Ferry) they amounted to
$737 per mile in lS47, to 1895 in ls4s. and to
$1,000 in l849 On the "Western Railroad in
Massachusetts, the ordinary repairs amounted to
$3.50 per mile Of single track Mr.. Ellet as
sumes 1882 per mile as the reasonable cost Of
ordinary repairs on railroad such as is contem-
plated by the act of Assembly.
Bot The adds the sum which represents the injury
sustained by the track an the depreciation of the iron
rnS, Is not included in this estimate for the reason
that on the B. and road West of Harpers Ferry] the
IRON has not been changed
ne value OF this item OF expenses is however esti-
mated by the experienced and able gentleman who had
charge Of all ne machinery and repairs OF the work in
1874 at 4-lO0 OF cent per ton per mile on thar part OF
The road East OF Hapers Ferry and at 25 100 of cent
per ton per mile on the improved track West of that
place.
The wear and tear of the iron rails is therefore,
assumed to be 25-loo of cent per ton per mile,
and passengers with their baggage are estimated
as equivalent in wear and tear to one ton of
freight.
we do not ind in the report statement of the
ordinary repairs per ion and per passenger but as.
Stunning them to be 1892 per mile, with trade of
$4,000 ions and travel of $4,000 passengers, the
ordinary repairs would be about TAT cents per ton
per mile, and 300 cent? per passenger per mile.

Loss Of Property at The Fredericksburg Railroad
Depot


The Wing of yesterday publishes an opinion drawn
up by Messrs. James Lyons and Arthur A. Morson,
in relation the liability of the Company for the va
ue of property destroyed by the burning OF their depot
on the Mth instant" and also on the general obga-
tons Of the Company carriers to and from the points
OF their route" The conclusions arrived at are the fol-
lowing:
First That to the goods destroyed by the fire
which had been transported to Richmond upon the rail
road safely and stored in the warehouse here the Com
p2ny is not LIABLE carrier to the owners or consirn-
ees, provided it brought them Richmond at such an
hour as they could have been delivered to the owners
or consgnee, and did not them for the ease and
convenience Of Of the Railroad Company merely.
Secondly, That as to the goods which has been de
vered to and received by the Company for tansporta
tion upon their road and were then destroyed BY fire
in the warehouse of the Company the Company is La
BILE carrier for them, unless there was some special
contract or understanding, usage amounting to that
to the contrary. ~ -
Thirdly, That for the goodasse mentionA 31fGe cSm-
pany was under other liability than that 81 warehouse
man, and liability does subject it to charge for the
value OF goods by fire accidentally occurring with
out negligence, and reasonable proper care in the pre-
servation Of the goods by the Company.

The circumstance, that Cabinet meeting was held
atthe White House on Sunday last very naturally set
the quid nuncs to specializing tohe matter under con-
sideraton. Some surmsed it was the slavery question
others the advices from California The National In

Our own impression of the matter is that the sailing
OF the European packet being near at hand this
extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet had relation to
some question on which consultation was deemed me-
cessary in connection with our European relations
Perhaps it concerned the Nicaragua negotiation Who
