The Bacnwell Sentinel. in speaking oi
the satisfaction caused by the feeling that
the Port Royal Railroad will soon be built,
says: "A serious damper to that feeling,

presentment of the Grand Jury.

THE presentment of the grand jury
Of the United States Court is print
ed this morning. The jury ask from
Congress an appropriation Of money
for the building of suitable United
States Courthouse and Postofice at Green
vile. This will, we hope, receive due at
tention. The jury express the hope that
all disfranchisement Of our citizens will
soon be removed, and request "those gen.
''tlemen who have sought and have under
"taten the honorable and responsible Office
"of representing the people Of the State in
"the Congress Of the United States to use
"every honest means" to accomplish this
end. This is wise and judiciOus; but very
little help need the grand jury expect from
Hoge when they add that "they fervently
"hope that no personal influence or party
"exigenoe will ever enable any ambitious
s'aspirant to take seat in the Legislature,
"or in Congress, to which he has not been
selected by majority Of the legal voters"
This cap fits Hoge charmingly, and as for
Bowen, how can he be expected "to use
"every honest means" of accomplishing
anything? Pooh! Pooh!

Georgetown in the Field.

Another maritime Richmond is in the
field. The Georgetown Times says that the
old Georgetown Railroad Company has been
reorganized under the name Of "The George
town and Lancaster Railroad Company"
which company proposes to build railroad
from Georgetown, through Williamsburg,
Clarendon, Sumter and Kershaw, to some
point on the northeast line of Lancaster
County. Heavy subscriptions Of land have
been promised. and the company, having its
depot Immediately upon the water, will
there erect wharves and warehouses for the
accommodation Of freight. The intention is
to put on line ofsteamships to New York,
in order that dispatch may be given to
goods and produce. Great stress is laid
upon the circumstance that ct Georgetown
there will be no charge for shipping, haul
ing or drayage, there being no break in the
line of transportation. I'D;
We know at present no more Of the In
tentions of the projectors of the George
town and Lancaster Railroad than may be
gathered from the article on the subject,
published in the Times. We are inclined,
however, to suspect, that the true objective
point of the new line is Gourdin's Station
on the Northeastern Railroad, where it
would connect with the proposed South
Carolina Central Railroad, which is to run
from Gourdin's to Charlotte. Ia this way
the Georgetown and Lancaster Railroad
would be an extension of the South Car
lima Central Railroad, and freights could
be sent direct to Georgetown, instead OF
coming over the Northeastern Railroad to
Charleston. This may not be the aim OF
the Georgetown Railroad, but we can harsel
ly believe that it would be proposed serious
ly to build two parallel railroads from the
Northeastern Railroad to Charlotte, which
would be the case if the Georgetown Rail-
road were to be built according to the pro-
gramme of the Times. One Of the two
schemes would be necessarily abandoned,
and we do not suppose that the South Caro-
lima Central Railroad, which hopes to begin
work before long, would be the first to give
vav

ATTORNEY GENERAL HoAR's opinion in
regard to the newly elected Legislature Of
Virginia may be summed up in few words.
The Legislature may come together, organ
ize and act upon the Fifteenth Constitu
tional amendment; but, until Congress has
approved the State constitution, the Legis-
latuee cannot transact any other business,
unless the members have taken the test
oath. This is the opinion, in a nutshell.
Twe-thirds of the members cannot take the
test oath, so that the Legislature can only
act upon the Fifteenth Amendment and
await the good pleasure of Congress; which,
considering that the Virginia Legislature is
two-thirds Democratic, will be sure to ap
prove the State constitution and admit the
State as rapidly as possible.

and we have yet to witness game in which
cheating and lying are not common occur
rences, especially among the fair sex, we deep
ly regret to say. 1t is the general practice of
the ladies to push their balls into more favora-
BILE positions when unobserved, and il detect
ed to deny it. We have seen ministers do it
time and again."
william, bow oar of the Oxford crew, has
written letter to the London Times explain
ing how the Chords beat the Harvards only
length and three quarters. He says: "betore
they (the Oxfords) reached the ship at Mort
lake, they were four or five boat lengths
ahead. when q row boat in the stream caused
them to lose length for fear OF falling" In
addition to this. having started certain dis
tancs above the aqueduct at Putney, they e1-
pected to Tow only an equal distance above the
sh,p at Mortlake; but having rowed that dis
tance and not reaching the judge, they thought
that the placing of the fag-boat had been for
gotten. So they padded on until they came
in. The Harvard men all this time rowed
with the same pluck and determination which
they had shown through the previous part Of
the race and gained considerable at the finish.
william says the Oxford crew fully acquiesce in
the decision Of the judges,
The London correspondent Of the New
Yerk Times devotes large part Of recent
letter to review Of the sensation created by
Mr.. Bouricaults play of ',Formosa." 1t has
drawn crowded houses, and is likely to do 80 as
long as it is assailed by critics and newspaper
correspondents on the score of its immortality.
He noticed as curious fact that when the
audience was first seated hardly tenth part
were women, but a little later they came in the
usual numbers. The present is the dullest of
the dull London season, and fashionable houses
could not ordinarily be expected, but the dress
circle was full, and most of the private boxes
wers occupied. There were present, perhaps,
a dozen Of the class whom some OF the critics
tolerate in the boxes, but are quite shocked at
seeing represented on the stage-!he upper
class of splendidIy disreputab., ladies, whom
the ''girl of the period" is said 10 slayishly
initiate, but the general character Of the audi
ence was far better THAI the season would war
rant. The drama is full Of sharp and pointed
dialogue and, in delineation Of character, it is
admirable. At first, its performance evoked
an occasional hiss; but long before the end
was reached. ths sympathies Of the audience
were won, and it proceeded to triumphant
conclusion.
