1,,oso,oa,zo and Ohio Railroad.


The Executive Committee which has
this important enterprise in hand had
pretty full meeting on Thursday night at
the Ballard House General ANDERSON in
the chair. Mr.. GoDDIN, from the commit
tee to whom had been allotted the duty
Of waiting upon General ScHoFIELD to as
certain at what time vote could he taken
lshould it be ordered) upon the question
of subscription by The city to the stock
of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, re-
ported that General SCuoFIELD, in answer
to the committee, stated that the registra
ton would be completed by the latter part
of July should there be no interruption
under directions from Washington de-
laying or changing the order Of pro-
ccedingS, and as soon thereafter as prac-
ticable the vote could be taken. He
remarked that the important election
10 fill the vacancy occaSioned by
the death OF the lamcntcd Judge Lyons
should take place at any early day and he
understood that the city charter required
that that election should not be held with
in less than thirty days Of the period of
any other election. He supposed this pro-
hibition related entirely to elections Of
officers, and that the vote for the subScrip-
ton to stock in the railroad might be given
ON the same day with the election of
judge. He would, however, consider that
question, and decide it in due time. Incl
dentally, the General remarked that he
considered this great railroad enterprise
as decidedly the most important now pre-
scented for the consideration Of the people
of Richmond, and he would do what he
could to facilitate the expression Of the
sense Of the people upon it.
4 committee was then appointed, con-
siSting of MeSSrs. II. c. CABELL, W. G..
PAINE, and WELLINGTON GoDDIN, to pre-
sent TO the Council the petition of citizens
for the opening of poll to take the sense
of the people on the question Of sub
scription TO the stock ofthe Chesapeake and
Ohio Company. This committee was in
structcd to communicate to the Council a
resolution adopted by the meeting re-
questng that the subscription Of 100000
by the city be made upon the condition
that the airline road from Richmond 10
Charlottesville shall be begun as soon as
the Chesapeake and Ohio line is COM
:plcted to the head Of steamboat naviga-
ton on the Kauawha, and be carried on
pqri pdSSu with the continuation Of the
main line from that point to the Ohio river.
1t was resolved that the Executive Com
mit,ec be constituted delegation to re-
present the city in the convention to be
held at the White Sulphur Springs on the
10Th of July, with authority to the presi-
dent of the committee to fill! the places Of
such as may find it inConycnicnt to attend.
The committee TO communicate with the
Council were also instructed to request
that body to send delegation on its own
behalf TO the said convention.

The Income Tax Injustice.

we take from the New York Evenin1
Gazette, will strike all as being just and
proper. In order to get rid of it, let
us pay off the national debt at once IN
gr~eenbacks. The Gazette says:
1T il mp ossiblc to lay n tax which

Facts TO be Remembered.

When HORACE GREELEY signed his
name to the bail bond of JEFFERSON
DAVIS, the whole Abolition pack, or 10
use his own language, "a concentrated
howl Of denunciation and rage was sent
up from every side against him, 'by
the little creatures whom God, for
some inscruhble purpose, permits to
edit a majority of the Radical journals,
and they %donounce him without stint
or mercy, as a traitor, and in league
with traitors.
Years ago, when this same HORACE
GREELEY, published in his tribune the
Address to the American Flag, one
verse of which reads:
"Tear down the Haunting lie,

Voting tho Democratic Ticket.
The election in Washington, where
the eight thousand negro votes, joined
with those ola few Radicals, gave the
Federal city into the hands of the Abol.
itionists, was n farce, the Radicals be.
ing afraid to allow their new allies the
right OF suffrage without first scanning
their tickets. The Washington Nron.
icle, one of Forney's papers, says:
by six o'clock : an hour before the
opening of the poll-long lines of col-
ored men had been formed at the sew
eral polls, and the ticket of each and
every man was carefully scrutinized."
Each tickle in the hands of n negro

the darkies would vote the Whito'Mans'
Ticket.

shall them into limo, in order that their
votes might be examined, in the 7th
