CORRECTIONAL The following Article cen
corning tic commercial prospects Of OR sister
city Of Georgetown is from tho y ashmston
Union Of yesterday
1T is the policy Of corporations and compa-
nics to pursue course that Is most calculated
20 benefit themselves, regardless CT thC effect 1t
may have on others, and so long as they keep
within the bounds of law and justice 10 one has
right to complain.
Some time AGO the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company pctitioncd the Corporation OF
Georgetown to pass an ordinance allowing them
to remove the stone bridges that cross the canal
at Congress, Jefferson, Washington, and Green
streets, and erect iron lift or draw bridges, so
that boats could pass under them. After due
dclibcration as to the relatI advantages or dis
advantages to the trade Of our city the petition
was granted, and the Canal Company went to
work tearing down the bridges.
"In the meantime the leSsceS OF the AlcZan.
dria Canal were trying to get possession OF the
aQuGduct, and our people were trying as ialtll-
fully, and they thought, at he same time,
successfully, to prevent them and the trends
OF the law authorizing the removal Of the bridge
supposed that by the passage OF the law land
probably it was the strongest reason IN favor OF
granting the pctition) that they would thereby
prevent the lcsSccss from getting possession Of
the aqueduct, and retain it for all time as a
bridge. In less than week after the contrac-
tors had commenced to remove the bridges the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Board met at
Bcrklcy Springs, Va, and passed a resolution
1--WE are told) requesting the President or the
United States to give the leSsees OF the Alex
andria Canal immediate possession OF the
aqueduct. ,,
And the consequence is, the trade from that
portion of Virginia is cut off from US and sent
to Washington. \ large portion OF the coal
trade will pass through to Alexandria,, and, II
the people Of Washington choose, they can
get the balance for what inducement would
there be to coal shippers to pass Alexandria
and Washington, and come here to get their
coal, if they could obtain it at either of those
places OF course the aQucduct is private
property, and the owners have, no doubt, the
best right to it, aud it seems that the corpora
ton, in trying to get the Government to hold
possession Of it, have made two outlets to the
trade Of Georgetown. and rendered it a mere
station, instead Of the main terminus OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal The thing looks
as if somebody has been deceived"

OCE RAILROAD SYSTEM. The Richmond

Our RAILROAD SYSTEM. The Richmond
Enquirer continues its comments upon the
important subject of our Railroad system in
Virginia, and contends that the cities Of Eir
gina gr0aning under the weight Of taxation
incurred 70 build our railroads, find them so
administered as to discriminate, and dscrimi-
nate even enormously, in favor Of outside
cities. -.
With regard to all trade between points
within Virginia, it advocates "a uniformity in
thc classification Of freight, uniformity in the
charge for handling it, and uniformity in the
charge Tor transportation, subject to m0dltlca
tons with changes in the cost That our rail
roads be managed as an associate system, con-
Guctcd according to free trade principles, 50 as
20 give every citizen every where, free choice
Of markets, subject only to the advantages and
disadvantages OF distance That ght should
DC intcrchanged between our roads with no
more charges for handling when transported
over several reads than over one. That there
should be no discrimination OF through and
local rates, beteen any points in Virginia, but
that the rates, in all cases, be proportional ito
the distances, save only as modified by the
one fixed charge Tor loading and unloading
which should be the same for all distances and
whether over one or more roads" In refer
cncc TO the principle which should regulate
the passage Of trade through our State from
points outside between New York and Mem
l,hi3 for example, it holds, that if it be nccc3-
Sary to offer low rates between such points in
order to obtain freight at all, i'll the face Of the
actve competition there encounte ed, and
i conccdcs that i may be necessary-two sim
pie rules will avail: lst, DO not reduce the
rates too low to allow profit on it it is bet
ter 70 lose the freight than to lose on it. %,
Make the rates between each terminus and any
Virginia city proportionable to the rates be-
tween the two termini'

difficulty has arisen between the Turkish au-

an aspect that United States ship of War has
been sent to Cyprus
The following is an account OF the origin OF
the difficulty:
Some time ago the American consul at
Larnaca, in Cyprus, Mr. Luigi Palma dc Ccs-
noa, took into his service Us cayas Il Mussul-
nan native named Mustapha. Shortly alter
wards the mudir Of the town claimed the man
service, and on the consul refusing to give
hin up, ordered party Of Zaptiehs to enter
the house Of the American consular dragoman
u certain Costand DcbcSs-and carry OF the
man. Thcrcupon the American consul AID
dressed Il formal complaint to the Governor Of
the island, demanding the punishment OF the
nudir and an ample apology for the alleged
outrage on his own consular dignity. On in
curry into the iacts, however, the Paslla con-
sidcrcd the mudir to be in the right, and there
fore refused the consular demand.
Mr.. Palma dc Cesnoa accordingly suspended
rcations,o and referred the matter 10 the Hon.
Il. Joy Morris, the American Minister in Con-
stantiuoplc The latter gentlemen, accepting
his subordinato's version Of the facts, address
ed an energetic and catcgoricaI note to the
Porte, demanding: Eirst-Thc dismissal Of
the mudir. Scconl-A personal apology from
