LOCAL MATTERS.

RAILROAD MATTERs-GEEERAL CANBY's
ORDER AND ITS EFFECT.-The order of Gen.
eral Candy pOstpOning the appointment OF
the railroad proxies and directors has been
the subject Of much discussion as to its de-
sign and effect. The proper Interpretation
was briefly given in our issue Of Yesterday.
BY denying the Board of Public Works the
power of appointing new proxies and di-
rcctors, General Candy allows those ap.
pointed last year to continue in office, and
they will at the coming annual meetings vote
as the representatives of the State-excr-
clSlng, OF course, controlling voice in the
choice of officers and other important busi-
ness.
Present appearances indicate that this
will not affect the status of Presidents
Wlckham, BufOrd, and Barbour, as the
proxies chosen last year are known to favor
the reelection of these gentlemen.
As stated Yesterday, the security Of Gen
cral Mahone's tenure as president Of the
consolidated line from Norfolk to Bristol
admits Of doubt. The proxies appointed
last year are as follows:
NO1JOlE and Petersburg Rdilrodd.-W
W. Wing. Norfolk James II. Clements.
Portsmouth; a. Donnan, Petersburg.
!S0uihside RdilrOnd.-G. +. Dogectt, Pc
tcrSburg; W. w. Forbes, Farmville; 3.
f. Childrcy, Petersburg.
Virginia and Tennessee RGilrond.-Thos.
Y. MoSby. Bedford; George S. Smith, Ma
rion; !. w. jackson, Bristol.
All Of the Norfolk and Petersburg proxies
are believed to be firm friends of Malone
On the SOuthSide road Mr.. Forbes is said to
be for, and both his colleagues against,
Malone. Mcs>rs. Mosby and Smith, of the
Virginia and Tennessee road, are bitterly
opposed to the "little General" and his
policy. Mr.. Smith was the Radical candi-
date for Congress in the Wytheville district.
and was badly beaten. Mr.. MoSby is men,
toned Is Il supporter Of the claims of Robert
w. Hughes for the presidency of the Fir-
ginia and Tennessee branch. Robert J..
Owen is earnestly urged for the same posi-
ton. but since he has loomed up asa promi-
ncut candidate for the United States Senate
his friends have not pushed his name for
the railroad presidency.
Though Mahonc's prospects look blue
Just now, he is not the man to give way un-
der such stroke. Things have looked
worse for him than now several times du-
ring the past year. Only awcck ago he was
threatened with the removal of Treasurer
Rye, which would have accomplished the
same object apparently attained by this or
der. That blow WAS avcrted. and the plan
Of battle has been changed. His friends are
active rs well as his opponents. The time
for work is short, as the annual meet
ing will soon take place. 1t remains to be
seen which party viii! be successful.
The talk was yesterday that the private
stockholders Of the Virginia and Tennessee
and SouthSidc Railroad Companies viii not
meet at all. BY this plan General Malone
will he continued in Office, as no change can
be made unless there is Il quorum for organ
ization at the time appointed for the annual
meeting. This would be an easy and effect
ual method Of keeping the man Of thcir
choice in the presidency.

UNLAWFUL Observation-Disclosures REQUIRED.
Our farmers complain Of the great annoy
ance they suffer from persons treSpaSsin@ on
theil ground ut will on pretence Of shooting
game. The former Generals Of this District
have heretofore, ut this season, issued a spe-
cial oTticr directing attention to the statute
against unlawful hunting, and calling on
the military to aid the civil officers III ar
resting offenders against it. General Candy
has mol yet taken this step for the protection
OF the lruit-"rowcr ana farmer, probably be-
cause ccdaat drnsa t0gn in so short time.
This law is abundantly stringent for the
protection Of property if, when aggrieved,
the owners would only put it in force by a
prosecution. 1t defines unlawful hunting
to be the ranging over lands without the
consent of the owner, either with dogs or
without, or even on the public highway,
oStcuSibly in pursuit of game and its penal
ties are, for each offence, a fine of five dol
lars. which goes to the prosecutor; for
leiture Of the gun carried and, at the dis
crrtion Of the magistrate, the destruction OF
the dog or dogs employed.
The times are no more when this sort OF
recreation was followed by persons whose
condition was a surety to the farmer that
pllindered. Gentlemen shot only game, and
g:une only in its season, and its destiny was
their own table, or the table of a friend.
Sportsmcn now, so called, black and white,
murder anything that will sell for a few
cents to restaurants, and chickens are no.
where safe when such are proving within
shot Of them. They make the carrying OF
rusty shooting-iron the passport TO any
part of the premises Of country residence,
and by means of this prctence obtain unob-
served opportunities to strip ciothcS-ine,
carry off tools, and ascertain how pre-
misses lay, and what property is accessible,
with view to an early midnight visit.
A movement is being made to establish a
county association of farmers and fruit
growers, one of the objects Of which is the
retaining Il standing attorney to prosecute
every case OF which notice is given him for
the veXations of private prosecutor are 50
many, and the loss OF time so frequent and
so great in securing conviction, that most
people at present will choose tosendule an
injury and suffer a rutfian to escape rather
follow him up by a prosecution @.-

struck ut Morrison with Il knife, and Nor
riSon gave a blow with his knife. Witness

Swccney's restaurant. On the morning OF

and George Hall and Barney Aaron were
in Sweeney's. The accused saw Hall. and
asked if he was not Barney Aaron, with the
remark eff that is Barney Aaron, ! will
treat the house." Upon this Morrison ap-
preached the accused, and with 4 very in
Suting remark, struck him. The accused
