NEW CASTLE coUNTy-MAY TERM.
On Thursday of last week the Jury in The case
of Jeffrics "a. P. w. e b. II. r. Co.. rendered
verdict In favor of the plaintiff (Jeifrics) for
$3.50.
On Friday, the case which was brought up ut

In the case of VIM. Herbert u.s. Geo. Nebeker
IN affidavit was filed and motion made to con-
tinue the. case until next court. The motion was
refused.
This Is the suit brought by Sheriff Herbert
against Mr.. Nebeker for damages from deiama-
ton Of character. Mr.. Nebeker having, 1t is al
legged, stated that Mr. Herbert, then candidate
for Sheriff, was guilty of forgery. From what
we learn we believe the defence intends admitting
the fact of such assertions and attempting to sub
stantate them by evidence. From the character
and position of the parties involved it cannot fall
to be IN interesting suit.
A part of Tuesday was occupied by the case of
Tindall rs. Logan commenced on Monday.
This case arose out of dispute concerning the

inst, Bishop Odenheimer of New Jersey admin
istered the rate of confirmation in Rev. Leigh

special services were held and three additional
candidates confirmed, and nine others visited the
confirmation services OF the Bishop at White

Mr.. Coleman's church, certainly shows most en-
couraging results from his faithful labors. He

A GRAND CONSOLIDATION PROJECT-IHE
CovINGroN AND ONO RAILRoAD.-As here
tofore announced in the Times, the Commits
sionefs for Virginia and West Virginia entrust-
cd with the bestowal, under certain conditions,
of the charter of the Covington and Ohio
Railroad Company, met in Baltimore last
week. Hon. John B. Baldwin, Speale of
tie House Of Delegates, one Of the Commits
sioners who attended the meeting, has returned
to this city. The meeting, we understand, was
in all respects harmonious. We have no par
ticulars of the proceedings except that 1t was
decided that further legislation by this State
was necessary 10 render the charter Ito be here
after bestowed, according to the act OF the last
session of the Legislature acceptable and Ell
tective. In furtherance OF these views OF the
Commissioners, the Committee on Roads OF
the House Of Delegates, on yesterday, reported
the bill ito provide for the completion OF line
or lines of railroad from the waters of the
Chesapeake to the Ohio river. y
This bill, which, as we have said, is supple
mentary to the act of the last session. provides,
among other things, that 1t shall be lawful for
the Covngton and Ohio railroad to consolidate
with the Virginia Central Railroad Company,
the Southside Railroad Company, and the
Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad Company, or
any one of them Should it consolidate with
the Virginia Central, then all the State
rights and interests in said road and all the
debts OF said road shall be transferred to the
consolidated company. The consolidated COM
Danies shall be known as the esapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company. In consideration Of
the transfer to the Chesapeake and Ohio Com
pany of the rights and interests OF the State
in and to the railroads which may consolidate.
it shall be the duty Of said company, within six
years, to complete the railroad from Covington
to the Ohio river, and they may select the
mouth of the Big Sandv or the Great kanawha
as the Ohio terminus, or may construct a
branch Of their road to both points. Should
the Southside railroad Company, or Tie Nor
folk and Petersburg Railroad Company, consoli-
date with the aforesaid road, it shall be the
duty Of the consolidated road to construct in
six years a railroad from Lynchburg to Gov
ington, or to suitable point on the Central
railroad
From this brief and necessarily imperfect
sketch OF this bill, it will be seen that it is a
measure of the greatest Importance to the rail
road and the commercial interests of the State.
It will probably engage the attention Of the
House Of Delegates to day.-Rich. Times

THE RESPONSIBILITY. correspondent OF
the Gazette, X. Y, says 1.-THE lessees, 1t Is
reported are to realize a handsome sum, II the
charter be granted them Can men be blamed
if they Feather their nests when such all cp-
portunity for so doing is offered them? The
lessees are looking, of course, to their own IN
tercsts. Does any one suppose that they
would peril their money for nothing, or TO sub
serve the interests of our people? If they can
get Alexandria, its representatives, or delegates
to help them TO get a charter, whereby they
can make money, why, Of course, all that IS SO
much benefit to the Lessces themselves. The
"bill relating to the Alexandria Canal has
been taken TO Richmond and presented to The
Legislature for passage, and to make law OF
it, This was all done in " clrcumscrlbed
manner; and it was by the mereSt accident
that a KNOWLEDGE of the bill and It's char
acter was brought to the attention OF the pco-
nIe. A member Of the Common Council! let
the ''cat out of the bag and the result OF the
exposition was a unanimous vote OF the City
Council instructing our delegates to resist
the passage of the said BILL Theprocecdlngs
of the LEGISLATURE reveal that one OF our
delegates, Notwithstanding this, has again
presented that same bill to that body, and
whether or not our delegates will resist
the passage OF the bill relating to The AieGan-
dria Canal" remains to be seen. Whatever Is
uncertain, it is certain that the Lessees can 90
nothing if our delegates do not hell them.
The responsibility rests with 'our delegates.
