Railroads.

TODAY the Commissioners OF the Coving-
ton and Ohio railroad meet i'll Baltimore to
dispose of the franchise and property OF
that great work. Some of the mem
bcrs of the Board arrived in that city ON
Saturday, and the prospect was Of full
Board. Public attention seems to have
been generally attracted to the proceed
incs. and there is little doubt that capital
lists will be present, eager to undertake the
work, and perfectly competent to carry 1t
ON 10 completion with expedition. cshall
have news of the result by telegraph aS
soon as ii is arrived at.
We feel entire faith in the future of Viz
ginia and this city; and hope no untoward
event may in any way interrupt the course
of events which must realize the cxpccta-
tions of the most sanguine of our cti-
Zens. Give Virginia a way to the Ohio
rebuild our York River road-and csta-
blish as vet another route to the bay-and
we doubt not there is industry and enter
prise amongst our people to achieve the
balance for themselves. If there is not,
they will have to get out of the way and
allow strangers to come and do the WORK
for them. For done it will be.

pcrusal.-true, he added, like horned
snake. some essays Of the kind had their
sting in the tail but then there was enough
vigor in the wriggle of the fore part TO give
warning of the fact Worse thanth's-we
heard man say to journalist that ms
paper appeared sprightly-he was pleased
with the editorial headings: they were
timely and fresh! And yet another Oh
these inapprcciative mortals told an h'nes'
editor that ne could not go to sleep WITH
out his paper; he read himseh 10 s'eep

Of all vani;ics the vanity editorial is most
unlimited and impcrturbable, the wonder
is that one so young should have perceived
its nothngness. He is, according to :" the

considered the "SoLoMoS of the Press"
We find this admirable example in the
Charlottesville Chronicle, and spread it be-
fore the reader:
ave have no room for one Of our editorial
broad. sides TO. day. We have some suspicion
any way that our most solid articles are not
read. We wrote a very excellent leader on
agriculture few weeks since, and knowing
he considered himself a great farmer, we
asked the sheriff Of the county, few days
| afterwards, what ne thought of IT. He SAID
| he hadn't read it," " Fhdt!' we eX-
| claimed" karem read it, He colored up
and muttered out that he hadn't got the

an obligation our young friend conferred
upon his readers that day. Thcytook the
sharp satire al the conclusion OF his Drill

The Railroad Connec tions-Richmond
Grants the Right Of Way.

The CITY Council Of Richmond on yes
terday. nv unanimous vote, granted the
right of way for the construction OF the
connecting link between the Richmond
and Fredericksburg and the Richmond
and Petersburg railroads. There was
not even debate on the subject. Only a
few words were submitted by Judge Crump
relative to the proceedings of the Council
on the subject. lie denied that it had
been at all influenced BY the conduct OF
Petersburg. The resolutions conierrins
the power on the company to pass through
the civ limits were at a former mcc'ihs
laid on the table TO investigate the Ia" u
the Legislature on the suhicct-somc q"es-
,;on bcing raised with reference to the eX-
40, nature of the powers conferred by II
- tho cornora,ion of Petersburg. This
noint having been examined, the Council
had no further motive for delay, and did
exactly what they had determined to d"
from the first, without reference at all to
the course pursued by Petersburg. 1t was
perfectly absurd to suppose that Richmond
would play sea-saw game with Peters
burg upon such subject as this-however
honorable that city always had been re-
garded.
This statement fully vindicatcs Rich
mond: and as Petersburg had protested
only to wait for Richmond, we suppose she
will now promptly follow the example SO
properly set on this side the river. We
feel entirely satisfied with the attitude OF
Richmond.
The breaks in the railroad route will, il
is hoped, be soon ended by the connections
which the company is ready to build; and
instead of invoking the cxecrations OF the
traveller, he will seek our lines, think the
better of us, and now and then sojour
a while with us, and become friend and Il
customer. How much better than that he
should be driven to take other and ever
longer routes to avoid annoyance and delay

The Writ of Mandamus-The Southern
Representa- ives.

An old fogy friend OF ours, who is well
vcrscd in the history of writs in England
from that of habeds corpus al Suyicicndnm,
and the other writs of hubeus corpus to
the writs of maadamuS, pr0hbdj0R, q"O
,rmTd,tS, ne Great reyno, and perhaps others
that we know nothing about--has con
ccivcd the idea, that as these writS Of
various sorts proceeding from the Court OF
Kings Bench, where none but learned and
ncorruptiblc iurists ever sit, have always
been respected in England, and even
Parliament been set right i'll some cases
hv the writ, a writ of mdltodm4S adj
dressed to the Clerk or Speaker Of the
House of Representatives at Washington
would secure the admission of the South
crn Representatives. We admire the sim
plicity and learning of our old friend, rs
well as that strong faith i'll the honesty
of man which this war has not been able
to shake out of him; but we should be
sorry to see the effects of the shock he
would receive were his plan tried. Why,
even supposing that CHASE and his associ-
ates would issue the writ, which no one
could believe who is acquainted with their
antccedentS, the Clerk or Speaker would
laugh at the officer who served it. Law,
indeed! Writs Why, they are "played
out, ITO use an expressive every -dayphrasc.
See how General THOMAS, DAVIS, RUGER,
and such like men, treat writs. If there
is any county palatine in the United States
where the Kings writs will not run, Wash
ington is the place. To confess the whole
truth, we are not sure but the ConStitu-
tion makes the House of Representatives
itself county palatine by giving it the
exclusive right to judge of the election,
qualification, and returns Of its own
members"
The idea of our very respectable friend
is, that the Southern Representatives
should present themselves at the table of
the Clerk of either House of Congress and
demand to be sworn in as lawfully elected
members of the body. Upon the refusal
OF the Clerk so to do, an application might
be made to the Supreme Court for writ
of manaamuS, to compel the Clerk to show
cause why he should not be compelled to
administer the oath as aforesaid. This, it
is commended, is the proper mode of raising
the issue and il has not yet been resorted
to by the Southern Representatives.

Railroad Frauds.

We of the South ought to be very much
gratified at the defeat of the great North
ern Pacific Railroad schemc-becauSe il
we have no share at this time in the dis
bursements of the Government, we have
at least our share of the taxation rcqui-
site to meet those disbursements. In the
debate upon the bin, it appeared that ii
would draw out of the Treasury at least
seventy millions of dollars. And there is
already in course of construction the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad, of which the Govern
ment is a patron. Mr.. WAsHBrRNE oppo-
sing the bill very earnestly, wanted to
know where all these railroad schemes
were to lead! Mr.. GARFIELD suggested
"to the Pacific coast" Mr.. WAsHBrRNE
retorted, "to the bottom of an empty
treasury Very true. Mr.. FARNEs-
WITH boldly charged that the scheme
was gotten up by spectators. The origi-
nal charter had been sold for one hundred
and sixty thousand dollars, and if this bill
granting the aid of the Government were
added that the scheme was being engi-
neered by lobby agents and unprncipled
adyenturers. When such chargesa are made
in body which is itself not over-scrupu-
lous, may we not justly infer that there was
an extraordinary amount of corruption and
intrigue at the bottom of this measure.
1t was one of gigantic proportions, af-
fording wide field for the operations of
dishonest men. There is no department
of the business of plundering corporate
treasures that is reduced to so perfect a
science as this very immense branch of in
dustry and art, the construction and work
ing Of railroads. The shavings from the
construction funds are immense, and when
the road is finished, it has lately leaked
out that there are some new patent inven-
tions for taking large slices out of their in
comes before they reach their treasures.
In this way they keep down dividends to
a reasonable point. The scheme of through
lines, chartered by their directors, who make
immense profits upon separate charges on
each article Of freight they convey, is the
latest developed. This has opened rich
harvest, and it has been gathered most in
dustriously and unscrupulously. We fatter
ourselves that our people down here are
too unsophisticated to discover these tricks,
and we hope they are too honest to employ
them. Yet it is well not to trust them too
far, 1t is q day Of all days when strict
accountability is important. There never
was greater amount of official depravity
and dishonesty in the land.

The Convention Of Baptists and Dis
ciples.

ClpleS.
We have refrained from publishing the
rumors which have reached us-though
some of them were no doubt very nearly
true-in regard to the deliberations OF the
Convention which was in session here last
week. We have been governed in the
matter By the apprehension of doing in
justice to one or the other denomination
for in reporting discussions upon religious
doctrinal points, layman may omit a
single word which is considered all-im-
portant by those learned in theology. An
article in the Petersburg Inder of yester-
day attracted our attention as a very fair
statement of some Of the difficulties which
the Convention had to meet with, and we
clipped il out with the intention of re-
producing it but upon inquiry We learned
from one Of the members that it contained
several errors. The member in question,
however, considered that he could not
even point out the errors. We are there
fore compelled to omit the whole article,
lust AZ the Mohammedans cannot eat any
part of the hog because the prophet forbid
the use of one certain part, and omitted
to specify what part 1t was.
