Hugh W. Shelley Nominated for President OF the Cen
trial Railroad.

A few days ago Messrs Editors You noticed the fact
that the Democratic paper OF Staunton had made sudden
discovery that the Central Railroad very slow in reach
ing Staunton.
Ii the approach Of the election OF President and
the chance OF getting the vote OF the State which, by the
late game much increased cast against Col FOhaiuc
the present incumbent have had wonderful influence in
exposing TO the eyes OF certain gentlemen about SsuuIon
errors in the management OF tho Road which
discovered before.
have been told that for some months past Mr. Michael
C. uarman, Democrat residing in Staunton, looking
to the Presidency Of the Company have also heard that
gentleman of the of Hartman of the cd-
tors Of the "Nndcator the paper that has so loud
in complaints about the bad management of the Road
But it very possible that the editors may be way
teresed in the election OF the other Mr. Hartman aud il
is possible, If he is that in trumpctng the newly dis
covered mismanagemont of the Road, he think.
ing how it might promote his election.
Mr.. Shelley Is nominated man to put every thing
rights but do believe Mr. Shelley sanctions this pro-
ceeding' Mr.. ShelTey is known here in Richmond
warm friend Of the Central Road, who sustained IT,
he did and other meritorous improvements when he
in the Legislature and regret he will he here
winter; but though don't profess tn be magician
mesneriser, yet venture to guess that the nomination
without his approval. Mark YOU: | am not much out
when suggest that this intended really with an
expectation OF eectins Mr.. Sieney should calculate
that Mr. Shelley and his friends would be the very
sustain Col Fontaine, for they must know what he has
done Tor the Road aud that the charges about msmsnage
ment arc made TO produce pircuar effect a. this time
When the secret comes out this nomination will be found
a shrewdy suspect TO much for the benefit of
II the gentlemen who now finding much fault
with the management of the Road really its best friends
Is much TO be regretted that they did not labor and
the subscription which lost recently in Augusta
To nave got that subscription would have been a much
better Of showing their devotion the interests OF
the Road than to be censurng where those better inform
ed believe praise to be deserved.
II Col Fontaine and the Directors deserving OF
re election could that have been made appear
well after voting the subscription of $4,000 10y reject
ing il? have noticed TOR the last Two wears, the great
devotion OF Col Fontanc best energies the interest
this Roadhs private interests have been neglected
and his whole time, day and night has been devoted
his duties, and than his duties, in forwarding TIN
work. am told that an experiment made by uomi-
mating Mr.. Caperton in the Si4uutou indicator may
be suspicious, but can't believe Mr. Sheteys nomi
dictated by dsinerested regard for the Road
or that he will encourage IT,
Now that the present managers OF the company have
by extraordinary efforts, the greatest dicUlrs
there plenty Of able ready to assume the highest
post when there is but little difficulty in comparison with
the past. RICHMOND STOCKHOLDERS.
