Eg- Poor Lewis Lindsey, he has come
to grief at last Great men will have
their idiosyncrasies and at times they will
bring their practitioners to grief. Thus
the case of poor Lewis, as will be seen in
the following Local of the Richmond En-
qsirer:
4 Distinguished Co1ored Politician
Overcome On Saturday morning Lewis
Lindsey, the most blatant of all the negro
orators, the most inveterate Of all the
negro politicians, and the most persistent
Of all the negro horn-blowers, got more
tanglefoot whiskey on board than he could
carry and anchored on a pile of coal in
the engine room of this office. He was
left to the undisturbed enjoyment of nap
for about an hour, when the police was
sent for and he was sent to the station
house to be locked up until he got sober
and could take care of himself No
charge for trespass was preferred against
him. Having at one time in bis life
been carrier, Lewis appears to have a
sondness for newspaper Offices. which goes
to the extent Of making a bed on pile
Of coal as one preferable to any other spot
for anchoring ground when he gets drunk

The Virginia Railroads.

The cordial reception given by The peo-
pie and authorities of Baltimore to the
delegation, from Virginia, who have this
week visited the city, seeking its aid for
the construction Of two very important
| railroad connections must have been very
gratifying and encouraging to the gentle
men who composed the delegation.
The Valley Railroad, when comple
from Harrisonburg, through Stanton and
Lexington to the Virginia and Tennessee
at Salem, will drain the most productive
portion of the State of Virginia and de-
velop the resources Of section equal to
any in this country for productiveness of
soil, salubrity of climate, and general at
fractions. 1t viii make customers to Bal
timore trade and commerce people we'll
to-do in the world, and the peers of any
IN honesty, integrity, thrift and energy.
The connection between Lyncbburg
and Danville has also merits of no ordina-
ry character. It straightens and shortens
the railroad lines with the South and opens
up to Baltimore way to North Car DINA
and the South now closed by Richmond
and Norfolk.
We hope the City Council will make
the loans, and thus secure these important
railroad connections. The investment of
the city in the stock of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad has already served its pur-
pose in the development of that great
work, and lies there merely as dividend
paying investment. Let it now be turned
over to these two Virginia roads to serve
again the good purpose it accomplished in
its first investment, and to help pour into
the lap of Baltimore the wealth of Vir-
ginia. No better investment could be
made, both for the increase of the trade
Of the city as well as for its treasury, than
the building of these Virginia roads.
The increase of business which their
completion would effect, will of itself pay
the city. and the roads when completed
will be dividend paying investments. Col.
Hartman is one of the live mem of Vir-
ginia. and for energy, thrift, business Ca
pacity and go-aheadativeness, has no su-
perior. AS President of the Valley Rail-
road he means success. Mr.. Barbour. of
the o. & A. r R., is SO we'll known for
his integrity and business qualifications
that remark is unnecessary. These gen
tlemcn are seeking the aid of Baltimore to
living, vital and profitable improvements.
There is nothing bogus or deceptive about
either of them, or connected with the
roads. The money of the city will be en-
trusted to the care and management of
gentlemen in every way qualified to pre-
serve its interest and protect it's invest
rf1snts. - Baltimore Commercial.

EH From the different reports we hay,

GS FROM the inherent reports we have
received of the enthusiastic manner in
which the Valley Rail Road deleg yates
were received at Baltimore, by the city
council and citizens generally. We are un-
der the impression that the city of Balti-
more will contribute handsomely to the
building Of the Valley Road, which is
regarded as Of the utmost Importance to
Baltimore. Many of the most influential
citizens and property holders Of the city
are in favor of its speedy completion. =
The city council is prevented from entail
ing any debt upon the citizens of Balti-
more, until legislative action has been
taken, and the matter publically submitted
TO the vote Of the citizens, and in order
to avoid this embarrassing difficulty, it las
been proposed TO sell the stock. which the
city holds, Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Rail Road, and invest the amount in the
Valley Road, which was held merely to
change the investment and not creating a
new debt. Some discussion has been clio
tied upon the legality of the proposed
sale and investment, and it is now
thought that that scheme will fall through.
The aid from the city is thought to be
certain. and only necessary that the appli-
cation should undergo the form of the
Legislature provision to secure it.

G The conduct of Secretary FISH
towards Senior Roberts, the Spanish zip.
ister. looks somewhat significant. Minis
ter Roberts demanded that the President
should issue proclamation discouraging
6llibustering expeditions from sailing to
Cuba, but Mr.. Fish promptly declined do
ing anything Of the kind, upon the
grounds that there was revolutionary Or
ganization in arms to Cuba, formed by
1atiEes under their own provisional gov
eminent, and could See no good reason to
prevent persons from leaving this country
to take up arms in their service. 1t is
eaid that the Spanish minister afterwards
made the demand in writing. We
shouldn't wonder if Spain would not in
sist upon Uncle Sam taking the "iron
clad OATH especially in regard to giving
81 aid and comfort"

ANOTHER OUTRAGE IN HENRIco. On
Sunday last, a negro man named Doctor
Bird. Baptist preacher, committed an
outrage on the person of a negro girl,
named Mary Retter, under thirteen yeaIs
of age. The circumstance came to the
knowledge of Constable Robson and he
procured, night before last, from Justice
Larus, a warrant for the arrest of the
guilty parry, and went down yesterday
morning to the neighborhood in which he
lived and succeeded, after considerable
difficulty, in finding aud arresting him
He was brought to the county court
house before Justice Larus, and confront
ed with the girl. She made a statement
of the affair and Bird confessed that it
was true. He was committed to jail to
await indictment by the grand jury. The
girl was severely bruised and seriously in
jured. Constable Robson deserves much
credit for the indefatigable manner in
which he performs the duties Of his Office.
