The execution of the Fenian prisoners,
by the British recently at Manchester,
will be the most important re enforce
ment Fenianism has yet received. The
crime for which these men were execu-
ted, was an attempt to rescue some of
their comrades from the hands of the
police, in which attempt one of the
officers was shot. Allen, Larkin and
Gould, will be regarded as martyrs, and
Irish rancor will be intensified. It will
not do for British statesmen to preach to
cur government any more sermons
about clemency to- be shown to the
traitors who tried to destroy it. Their
mercy is like that exhibited by the wolf

of Baltimore 100 miles in distance, and a
road with better grades and curvature. II
must not be forgotten, the advantage she
would have in the large influence in the
management of the road: This. added tc
close identity Of interest and sympathy Of
the present Central Railroad stockholders
Is reliance Of no small value.
Sd. Will the credit Of the city suffer bv c
ne,O issue of bonds for this purpose7
II S2,000,000 Of bonds were issued for
any mere local object, improving the
streets, erecting public buildings, or beau.
tifying the city, and all thrown on the
market, it might be so; but, in the first
place, the case is widely different when
the object is to open the avenues of trade,
which will enlarge her commerce, create
manufactures, increase population, and
multiply ten fold her subjects of taxation.
Then, again, it is not contemplated to
put the bonds on the market-the scheme
is to issue the bonds Of the company as in
dicated above; call for the city bonds in
one, two, and three years, and hold them
to be used as collateral security. In the
very nature of the case, the strongest as
surance may be felt on this point: the
crifce by selling them under present cir
s2,000,00O. This, added to the large
amount of stock now owned here, will
give powerful influence in the manage
ment of the company, and secure such a
policy as will protect their interest.
4th. VIII taration to meet the payment OF
interest on the bonds be oppressive ?
Let it be borne in mind that under the
encouraging prospects now held out of
carrying on the work simultaneously at the
west and east it may be expected that the
road will be in operation in three years,
and that then the dividend Of eight per
cent. is to be paid on the stock, which
covers the interest, to say the least; and
if we realize anything like the amount of
business expected, we may hope for more
than eight per cent. dividend.
Assuming that one-third Of the bonds
will be issued the first year, which may
not be the case, and that $50, 900 will be
required to pay the interest-putting the
value of real estate at $25, 900, ,000-it would
require twenty -four cents on the Sl0O to
cover this tax, and in that proportion as
additional bonds were issued. l do not
propose to enlarge on this point; while
doubtless the Inconvenience Of paying the
tax would be felt for the brief period of
three years, the promised results will far
more than compensate the little sacrifice
aud self-denial which will be necessary to
provide for the additional tax. Many
other people are paying heavier taxes than
ours would be after this addition the peo-
pie of West Virginia are now paying two
dollars on the $lO0 value, and it seems are
cheerfully assuming the additional bur-
then for building this road. We may rea-
sonably hope that as soon as it is deter
mined to commence this great improve
ment, capital will begin to locate itself
here, that business will improve, and the
taxable value of property be constantly
increasing.
Very respectfully,
L. FoNTAINE, President.

TYRER, THE BOGUS DETECTIVE, GOES IN
THE CHAIN GANG.-James Tyrer, the fes-
tive youth who played United States de-
tective, was again brought before the
Mayor Saturday. The Mayor told him
that he was vagrant and disreputable
character, and would have to so to Jail for
twenty days, during which time he would
have to work in the chain-gang for seven
hours each day.
Tyrer pleaded to be released, in which
his wife joined, stating that her husband
was not vagrant that she had an income
of $50 per month; took care of him; and
if he were released she would carry him
out Of the city.
Mr.. Ward, counsel for the accused, re-
quested the Mayor to allow him to give
security for his good behavior. The Mayor
refused the request, and ordered Tyrer to
60 down.

MONEY-ORDER SYSTEM.-Th system for
the transmission Of money through the
mails lately devised is excellent. 1t will
make the remittance certain and secure.
1t goes into operation this day. There are
1885 money-order Offices in the United
States. The system will be highly con-
venient to the public. The mode by which
safety is secured consists in leaving out OF
the order the name of the payee or party
! for whom the money is intended. In this
respect money order differs from an
ordinary bank draft or check. In many
instances money order can be drawn on
an office where draft cannot be obtained
or used. An advice containing full par
ticulars Of the order is transmitted by the
issuing postmaster to the postmaster at the
office of payment. The latter is thus fur
nished, before the order itself can be pre-
sented, with the necessary information to
detect fraud, if any should be attempted.
| The fees or charges for money orders
are as follows: On orders not exceeding
$50, 10 cents over $40, and not exceeding
$50, 25 cents. When larger sum than
the latter is required, additional orders to
make it up can be obtained. 1t is believed
| tNdt no one Will ucSitdlC W pay lut Suldll
fee required, as it is well worth the salts
faction of feeling that the money is safe.
Experience has taught many that this is
not alway the case in transmitting money
in letters.
The following are the money-order
offices in Virginia and North Carolina.
Persons desiring to avail themselves Of this
system through offices in other States can
readily find their names by applying at the
post office:
