Occasionally the remark is made,that Re-

ror ofthat opinion, we think it not out Of
place to notice the sale of a portion of the
corner lot obIiquely opposite Mr.. James

twenty years ago it was bought for $3.50,
and few weeks since the portion spoken
of sold Tor the handsome Priceof $4,000.

Stanton and Corngton railroad Bill IN
der consideration.
Mr.. Seenr said. that when this bill was
originally up, he had intmaled bis inen-
lion Of supporting it if the amendments at
ready adopted were eugrossed upon it.
He had voted for this and similar i'm
provement at previous session, he had
fallen into the idea that the " alter line was
Improbable. and therefore thought the
Railroad would be the best. and had there
fore gone Tor il, subsequent examination
and reflection since the commencement of
this session had convinced him of being
in error, and he owed it to bis position as
a delegate, and to fairness. no matter what
might he the conscquenccs.to MAKE know n
that change of opinion. He had twelve
months ago believed that continuous
water line to the Ohio was impracticable,
aud understood that Mr. Cabell was the
friend off, Railroad. and was drawn into
The support Of the bill before the House.
Mr. ;. did not concur in the accuracy
of the estimate for tile road as made by
Mr.. Elet 10 1898. AT that time Tie raj
used was the thin plate rail. and the En-
gines used were of light weight Now in
tie change of the construction Of Rail-
roads. the cost. from the use Of the heavy
rail and engine. was doubled. No man
would doubt this proposition The esii-
mates made lor tie New York ard Erie
Railroad in 1910 Was about 81 600 600
and YET they have already spent some Si3.
100000. and they expect the amount will
reach before It's completion $50 100000
The reason for this Is found in the state
ment already given. Yoa cannot rely
upon an estimate made in 1888 as the basis
for an appropriation in 1880.
Mr. S. then argued to show that the
sum Of S2,G00,000. as contained in The es-

Eilett in 1888. would hardly be begin

SENATOR MANcuM defined his position
in the Senate last week in regard to the
approaching canvass for the Presidency.
He expected to support the nominee OF

he might be, but decidedly preferred Gen.
Scott to any one likely to be brought for
ward for the Office. As to the compro-
misc measures, be said. Gen S. could pre-
sent "as clean bill Of health" as any one
else. He bore witness to "the personal
exertions" used by him during their pen

"as settlement of the agitating subjects
they embraced" awhile others paused
