Mr.. Cragin desired to correct a mlsappre
hension which might arise from his remarks.
Be understood there were two receivers OF this
Alexandria Railroad, the one to whom he re-
terred was q resident Of Washington, and ap-
pointed by one of the Judges here; the other
mright be Rebel for all he Mr.. g. knew.
THE Receiver appointed by Judge Thomas,
has never bonded, never acted, and has had,
and has, no more to do with the road or its
affairs, or its management, than the man in the
moon. So Mat sensation will subside at
once.
Mr.. Cameron said none but this railroad or
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad would be
guilty of such outrages, and the proper remedy
would be to build new railroad connecting
Washington with the country, and be proposed
TO introduce such q measure at once.
Mr.. Nye read from the charter of the Wash
ington, Georgetown and Alexandria Company
that no distinction should be made with pas
sengers on account Of race or color, and main
tanned that this act had vitiated its charter.
After some further discussion, the motion OF
Mr. Harlan to refer to the judiciary Commit
tee was disagreed to, and the resolution was
then passed.

I wish to call attention to one point in con-
nection with the two late decisions of the Court
of Appeals. By their ruling in the criminal
cases of Garner and Matthews, and the civil
case Of Broughton and Golfer, the Court have
actually seemed to show the favor5 of the law
to our coored population Garner and Mat
thews have had their precious carcases saved,
the one from the gallows, and the other from
the penitentiary, by Virginia Judges, slave
holders and rebcls The case of Brouehton
and Golfer was between white and black men,
and those same judges have decided in favor OF
the blacks. 1t is no strange thing that l
mention, for Virginia Judges to decide accord
inc to law and Justice, untrammelled and un
preiudiced but it is a telling thing and con,
vil,cing thing, of the hypocrisy, vlllany and
falsehood OF those who aver that ceDtl law Will
not be properly administered, by Southern
men, in such instances.
Your paper lately informed us that total
eclipse Of the sun would take Place on the 22nd

FOREIGN News.

The comments CT the British press are said
to be generally favorable to the views expressed
in the u. S. Congress- on the matter of allie
glance and citizenship. The North German Ca
zette, the private organ of Bismarck, finds fault
with the Austrian Minister, Baron Won Beust,
and declares he is pursuing dangerous course
in too zealous)y befriending the exied prisoners
of Hanover.
Important dispatches have just been received
from Abyssnia Gen. Napier was at the front,
pushing on the advance, and the hostile forces
were drawing near to each other. Reports had
reached Amnesty Bay that skirmishing had al
ready taken place between the Bristish advance
and the forces of King Theodore. No partic-
ulars of the fight are given.
La France insists that Count Won Bis
marck has asked permission to resign. Felix
Belly, the we'll known railroad contractor Of
Central America, has been sentenced 10 the
court there, to pay heavy fine for publishing
slanderous article against the Government Of

RAILROAD AFFAIRS At the monthly meet
ing of the Board of Directors Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, yesterday, Mr. Garrett the
President of the company, made an address,
in the course Of which he said
''The Board has decided to aid the Orange,
Alexandria and Manassas Railroad in extend
ing its line from Strasburg to Harrisonburg
upon agreement for the working OF that line
in connection with the Ba ltimore and Ono
Road upon terms mutually satisfactory,
The company has also authorized the sub
scrption of 100000 to the stock OF the 10,
chester and Strasburg Road. This road will
be nineteen miles in length extending from
Winchester to Strasburg. The condition Of
the subscription is that $500, 900 OF stock must
be subscribed before any Of the subscriptions
will be binding That amount is estimated to
be the cost of the road BY the complexion OF
this short link of nineteen miles as the Baltl-
more and Ohio Company now has permanent
control of the Winchester and Potomac Road,

Orange, Alexandria and Manassas Road, the

as it is expected the road will be productive.
1t will doubtless be the policy Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Company, when the Winchester and
Strasburg Road is constructed, to lease the line
and pay interest upon its cost.
By immediate action on this subject, the line,
being remarkably free from difficulties, can be
constructed in brief period; so that within
twelve months the line through to Harrison.
burg can be in operation. When this road
shall be opened efforts can be properly made
for the extension Of the Valley line to connect

gion extending through to Louisiana, the ad-
vantage of transacting their business with Bal
