The mcDonogh viii Case Decision.

The New Orleans Picaynne gives an interest
ing summary ofthe proceedings under the McDo'
nogh will, and of the decisions made in relation
thereto by the Courts OF that State. After re-
ferrinr to the suit instituted in the name Of the
States of Louisiana and Maryland against the
cities of New Orleans and Baltimore, in one of
the courts, to avoid the legacies bequeathed to
the cities, and to give the possession of the pro.
perty of the succession to The States respective
ly, the Picayune adds:
J." Pending the decision Of this suit in the Su-
preme Court OF Louisiana, the heirs at law of
McDonogh brought a suit in the United States
Circuit Court of this city against the executors
of the will and the cities, 10 anmul the will, and
claiming the estate as heirs at law. Judge
MCCaleb, as our readers are aware, has decided
this suit in favor OF the heirs, and the case has
gone up on appeal to the Supreme Court at
Washington. Since this appeal was taken, the
Supreme Court OF Louisiana has rendered a de-
cisiop in the case before il, in which a majority
of the Judges concur in maintaining the rights
Of the cities, holding, however, that neither Ma
ryIand nor Baltimore we're legally before the
COURT.
After giving a brief abstract of the latter deci-
sion, the Picayune concludes:
"The final issue Of the question ofthis will now
hangs, as our readers will perceive, upon the de-
cisiUn OF the Supreme Court Ofthe United States.
II this court affirm the Judgment of Judge MEGA.
leb, the heirs at law will take the estate :; it 10th

THE RAILROAD MANIA.

Our Legislature has become run mad on the
subject Of Railroads, and by reference to our CO.
lumnS to-day, it will be seen that an immense
expenditure, nearly three millions Of dollars, has
passed the House, and only awaits the action Of
the Senate, to give the binding obligation oflaws.
Some Of these appropriations are no doubt just
and proper. Others again, have no intrinsic
merit, but have been forced through by legisla-
tive Iedgerdemain. The aggregate amount is
too great for the resources Of Virginia, and we
hope the Senate may exercise the pruning knife,
with that degree o: sagacity and wise discretion,
which the people of the State have a right to ex.
pect at its hands. The "Loan System" which
has received the sanction OF the House, is not
understood by the people, and we confess that
we are not sufficiently acquainted with its opera
tions TO attempt even to unravel the mys-
Ieries which occur to us in its practical work.
ings. The internal improvement party, howe
yer, in its widest and most radical sense, are in
the ascendant in the Legislature, and seem de-
termined TO carry through their projects at all
hazards.

VIRGINIA.

After a protracted and able debate, the House
of Delegates, on Saturday week, passed, by a
vote of 80 to 81, the bill making a loan of $780,
600 10 the South-Side Railroad. The bill pro-
vides for a mortgage by the company to pay the
interest on the loan, and one per cent. additional,
so as to secure a payment of the whole loan in
thirty.tour years.
The Richmond Enquirer of Tuesday last,
says:-
The House OF Delegates, on Monday, passed,
by a decided vote, the BILL Incorporating the Board
Of Public Works for the construction of a rail-
road from Covington to the Ohio River. at a
point not lower than the mouth Of Big Sandy,
nor higher than Point Pleasant. The bill ap.
propriates a million of dollars for the purpose.
A bill increasing the capital stock of the Ma
nassas Gap Railroad Company was read a third
time and passed-yeas SO, noes 80.
a bill to authorize the Orange and Alexandria
Railroad Company to extend their road to Lynch
burg was taken up, and Mr.. Rives Withdrawing
his pending amendments the bill with other amend.
ments by MIR. Rives, was ordered to be read q
third time.

THE SMALL TRADE OF NORFOLK.

1t appears by a statement in the Norfolk News,
that last year about eighteen hundred barrels of
eggs each containing about a hundred dozen,
were shipped from that port. The return incIu-
ding the price of oats in which they were packed,
is estimated at $40 per barrel, making a total of
thirty six thousand dollars received tor eggs. A
vast amount of oysters, vegetables and poultry, is
also annually sent away, for which the sum of
three hundred thousand dollars is a moderate cal
culation, averaging one thousand per daythrough-
out the year. One gentleman, who devoted him
self to the business for some years, has realized
a profit ofabout $4,000. The quantity OF rags
for manufacturing purposes annually sent from
that city is also ifFge. One firm alone sends
amount does fall short of one million. The cost
of these is, on an average, about three and a half
cents a pound, ard realizes q profit Of twenty
five to thirty per cent, making the large sum of
about S45, 600 as lle annual product OF old rags.

eENERAL DIX OF NEW YORK.


Tho Wbig press have succeeded to their own
s.tisaction, in assigning to General Dix of New
York, 10y the way one Of the ablest men Of this
eountry,) a position in the Cabinet of General
PKRoE. Hence he is being assailed from all
quarters as a "Free Soiler, y and the most noisy
BcotI-Abolition organs, turn up their eyes inholy
horror at the idea of the Democracy fraternizing
with any one who had ever been suspected of
being recreant to the South and her institutions.
Gen. Dix, it is true, voted for Mr.. Van Buren, in
1913, but in the recent contest no man in the
country conducted the canvass upon more broad,
national and patriotic grounds than he did. He
heartily endorsed from every stump, the Baiti'
more platform, and rePudiated the charge for
himself and the Democratic party, OF having any
afiIiatioD with AboIitionism. But as TO whether
he is 10 be a member of the Cabinet, we have no
means OF knowing but common rumor, which We
are inclined 10 think points to another Distinguish
ed citizen OF New York, Mr.. Dickinson. But the
idea Of the Wing press, that supported Scott, CO.
operated with Seward, Greeley and their aboli.
ton allies in securing a sectional triumph, and
grinding the South into powder, undertaking to
find fault with the probable promotion Of Mr.. Dix,
Is supremsIy ridiculous. The present admins.
traIion inaugurated at its advent Tom Ewing,
and is likely to end its days with Tom Corwin,
beside giving the chief seats in the synagogue
to such men as Firz Henry Warren, Jacob Col
lamer and other Of the most ultra and offensive
Abolitionists that are known TO the whole Union.
Il is worse than Satan attempting to rebuke sin,
and should elicit the unmitigated contempt and
disgust of the whole country. The Democracy,
In the recent contest, was a unit, a union OF the
Democracy for the sake Of The Union, and our
own notion is that as our triumph was SO glorious
Iy achieved by the sacrifice and concession ofall
merely local or sectional questions, to subserve
the great interests Of the country, and enure TO
the advantage Of the Democratic party, the time
is peculiarly auspicious to reward office TO those
only who are true to the Constitution, and hon.
est, competent and capable, without stopping TO
enquire whether he comes from Maine or
GeoTpia.

NEW PROJECTS.

To keep pace with the progress Of The times, it
will be seen by reference 10 another column, that
two Railroad projects are now suggested, in
which our County has a deep interest. A char
ter was granted some three or four years since,
for a Railroad from Harpers.Ferry to Alexandria,
which was entirely feasible at the time and the
stock could have been taken, save that Alexan-
dria had directed her energies and her Efforts in
another direction. This being completed, how
ever, our Potomac City has become awakened as
to the necessity of tapping the Baltimore road, at
a point SO favorable as HarPers-Ferry. Books
of subscription are 10 be opened on Monday next,
with every prospect of the stock being readily
taken, Gas we have heard Of several large capt.
talistS who go into the matter determined TO sue.
Ceed,) a survey of the road soon made, and its
pEActiCability fully tested. Tho other scheme,
is the construction ola Railroad from Mill Creek
or Smithfeld, to connect with the Winchester
road At or near Cam erOn's Depot. No charter
will be necessary, nor no stock requisite 70 be
taken for the construction of this road, if it can
be shewn that there is sufficient trade to justify
the expenditure on the part OF the Winchester
road. We have heard it stated that this branch
would furnish &C, 600 barrels of Flour, which now
finds an outlet through other channels. The
proceedings of a Meeting held at Middleway on
Saturday last, fully explains what it is proposed
to accomplish, and as our friends Of that part If
the county, no less than those Of Berkeley con.
tiguous, seem to feel a deep interest in the sue
cess of the enterprise, they have our best wishes
for the speedy completion Of so laudabIe an I'M
dertakin0.
