The rules were suspended for the purpose of
taking the vote After some discussion the vote
was taken vira voce, and they were elected.
General Wickham thanked the friends who
had supported him. and assured those who had
opposed him that he had no i'll feelings towards
them, and he would do all in his power to
advance the interests of the road. He offered
the following resolutions which were adopted ::
"Resolued That the mortgage executed by
the President and Treasurer of the Company
on the lst day of October, 1868, under instruc-
tons from the Board of Directors. for the pur-
pose of securing loan of 100000 (for two
millions of pounds British sterling) be and the
same is hereby approved and ratified.
"Resolved That the contract entered into on
the 3lst day of August, 1868, between the Vir-
ginia Central Railroad Company and the Com
missioners of Virginia and West Virginia for
the construction of the railroad from Covington
to the Ohio river be and the same is hereby
ratified" =

Valley r. r. Subscription.

Should the Valley R. r. be built the farm
ers in this county would not only have choice
of the best -four and cattle markets in this
country North and South, but they would have
the advantage of having their marketable pro-
ducts of whatever character transported to the
best market at the lowest possible rates. This
result, which is a very important one, would be
sure to be realized, for as the markets OF Bali
tinore, Alexandra and Richmond are so near
" equal the rates of freight would determine
whether the farmers would send their products
by the Chesapeake and Ohio K. K. or by
the Valley Railroad, and this would make
these competing roads reduce the charges for
freight from this point to the lowest figures.
Unless there be two roads leading to differ
ent markets from this point, it would certainly
result that the charges on the way freight on
the Chesapeake and Ohio r. R. would be kept
up to a price which would enable it to compete
successfully with the Baltimore and Ohio R.
R. for the through freight from the West,
where the comp etition between these two great
lines would be very active.
The amounts thus saved to the farmers Of
LHlS County ny udNluS lMU ICdtiIUduS IGdOIuS W
different markets from this point would in
short time more than compensate them for the
addition which the subscription necessary to
secure that result would make to their taxes.
As the failure on the part of this county to
vote subscription to the Chesapeake and
Ohio R. R. did not have the apprehended eff
feet of defeating the scheme for the construc-
ton of that most important line Of improve
ment it is fortunate that the subscription to
that road was defeated, for it will ensure, as
We think, the vote of this county in favor of
the subscription to the Valley r. r. If the
county had voted for the former subscription,
it would not have felt able to vote for the lat
ter. As is, the county can, and will, we be-
ieye, vote for the subscription of 100000 to
the stock of the Valley Railroad. This sub
scrlption Is necessary to secure the construction
of this road, and this road is necessary to pro-
tect our farmers against any discrimination
,olich the Chesapeake and Ohio Road might
be disposed to make to the prejudice of their in
tereStS.

Chesapeake and Ohio r. r.

The result of the farcica and disgraceful
proceedings of the meeting of Stockholders of
the Chesapeake and Ohio R. r. last week in
Richmond was, that Gen. Wickham was
elected, in the place Of Fontaine, President Of
the Company, and that an entirely new Board
of Directors was elected. However objection
able the President and Board of Directors may
be personally or politically to the friends Of
that great line of improvement, they should
still continue to desire its speedy construction,
and should render such aid as is within their
power to the accomplishment of that end.

II. Riyes Pollard Killed.

The Southern Opinion, edited by FL. Rives
Pollard, which appeared on Saturday, the 2lst
ult., contained an outrageous article in refer
ence to Mary Grant, a daughter of VIM. FL.
Grant, a wealthy tobacconist of Richmond
At half past nine clock on Tuesday morning.
the Oath ult., as H. Rives Pollard, accompan-
led by his associate editor, J. Marshall Hanna,
was near his Office door, at the corner of Main
and Fourteenth streets, going in, shot was
fired from the upper window of building ops
posite Mr.. Pollard fell dead, eleven buck
shot having entered his body, one passing
through the heart The police searched the
building and found James Grant, brother of
the lady named, in the room. He surrendered
and was taken to the station house. A double
barreed gum one barrel discharged, was found
in the room.
Pollard and Hanna were both armed
After long examination of witnesses at the
coroner's inquest, the jury rendered the fol-
lowing verdict:
"Cfty of Richmond, to-Uit:
An inquistion taken at the office of the
Southern Opinion, Fourteenth and Main streets,
in said city, on the Oath day of November,
1868. before me j. P. Little, coroner, upon the
view of the body of H. Rives Pollard, there
lying dead. The jurors sworn to inquire when,
how and by what means the said Ii. Rlves
Pollard came to his death, upon their oaths do
say: That he came to his death by gun shot
wound that the shot was fired on the Oath Of
November about nine and half A. NJ, from
an elevated position, by some person unknown
to the jury.
This verdict was signed by the coroner and
jury.
On Friday Jas. Grants examination before
the Mayors court took place. After the ex-
animation of witnesses, he was sent on for trial.
He was granted bail in the sum of $4,000
Mr.. William X. Watts, Of the firm of Put
ney Il Watts, signed the bail bond for the full
amount, and Mr. Grant was permitted to leave
the courtroom. He rode home in a carriage
which was in waiting on Main street.
The article referred to in the Southern Opi,,-
aon was written by J. Marshall Hanna, though
Pollard was responsible for its publication in
his paper. Whilst we condemn the publica-
ton of such an article, and feel that Grant was
called upon to resent the wrong done his fami-
ly, yet We condemn in the strongest terms the
mode he adopted (if he be the party who fred
the fatal shot from concealed and safe posi-
tion) to avenge the wrongs thus inflicted upon
his family. The deed, as performed, has all
the abhorrent elements Of murder

Rankrnnt Petitioners.

Persons wishing to avail themselves of the
benefits of the Bankrupt law should file their
applications before the lst of January, for at
that time the so per cent clause will 60 into ef-
fect and parties will have to pay so per cent
of their Indebtedness or be debarred the bene
fit of the law. AS Congress has once post
poned the time for the operation of that fea-
ture of the law, it is not probable that it will
do so again.
There may be some who have not applied
because they think the stay-law will be kept in
force; but that law expires by limitation on
the lst day of January, and it is pretty we'll
understood that Gen. Stoneman will not have
it continued, though that would accord with
the wishes of large majority of the citizens
of the State
1t would be we'll if we could have a stay-law
for ten years providing that the debtor should
annually pay the interest and 10 per cent of
the principal of his debts falling to do which
would debar him the privileges of the law.
In the .. S. Circuit Court, in Richmond,
last week, Mr. Howe, summoned as one of the
Grand Jurors, doubted his ability to take the
oath required, as, while che had never had any
sympathy with the rebellion, he had furnish
ed his two sons, in the Confederate army, with
food and clothing. The Chief Justice said that
the terms of the oath were very explicit, but it
was for the conscience of the person taking it
to decide whether he could do so or not He
further said that it was the opinion of the
Court that no man who had given aid to any
person engaged in the rebellion could take this
take it, and he was excused from the jury

merely to support the Constitution Of the Uni

directing the iron clad oath to be administered,
unless some special case should demand it, and
that no such special case now demands it.
