The Memphis, Okolona and Selma rail-

completion at its eastern end. The COM
pauy have not yet decided as to its exact
route between Okolona and Memphis. A
survey has been made from the former
place, passing through Holly Springs, and
then iu u direct line to Memphis-and esti-
mates for construction of the road-bed
made by the engineer. Another route
looked upon with favor and one that will
not cost much more than half to do the
grading, is from Okolona to a point on the

Roads Through the Peninsula.

In answer to the inquiry Of subscriber
in James City county, all we can say is that
just now there is nothing in agitation with
regard to the construction of railroads
through the Peninsula country. The pre-
sent apathy, however, is not tobe attributed
to the want of faith in the expediency and
benefits of at least one such route but to
First, the absorption of the public mind in
the important question Of the restoration Of
the State to her place of political equality
amonst the States and second, to the incom-
pleteness of those lines connecting Vir-
ginia with the West, which are to draw to
her large share Of the immense produc-
tons of the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys.
We must have the freights before the in
creased facilities of communication between
here and tide-water will be irresistibly de-
maaded, and at the same time promise such
rewards to investment as will induce CAPT
talists to contribute the means to build
them. We have not doubt that there will
ere many years be railroad from Rich
mond to Newports News. The multiplica-
ton of conduits to the West must cause a
demand for more facilities for transporta-
ton to the sea.
But apart from the demands of through
business and travel, the Peninsula land is
destined to TEEN with population and pro-
duction in manner that will make rail
road communication indispensable to its
local wants. We hope our correspondent
will live to see it built.

RATHER SEVERE ON THE MARYLAND
MILITIA. Wilmington (Del.) CONNER
cial is inclined to be funny at the expense
of the militia system of Maryland. Allu-
ding to Adjutant-G General Bier's recently
"The Adjutant- General of Maryland
suggests new militia law which provides
for three honorable orders: The Order Of
Merit 'The Order Of Perfection, and
The Legion of Honor 1t also provides
that certificates Of service for one, three,
and five years, shall exempt the holders
thereof from jury duty for three, five, and
ten years, respectively. This is an excel
lent provision, and should be made to 90
further. ANY man who is ass enough to be
mixed up with this tom-fooiery ought to be
exempt from jury duty all his life on the
ground of mental imbecility."

The Norfolk and Great Western AND

The Norfolk and Great Western and
Southern Pacific Railroads.
A meeting Of the Directors Of the Nor.
folk and Great Western Company was held
in Norfolk on Wednesday. Colonel FLOUR
SoY, the president, laid before the meeting
the facts concerning proposition from New
York capitalists to undertake the construc-
ton of the road, and after a full inyestiga'
ton of the ability of the parties and the
nature of their scheme committee was
appointed to enter into contract with them.
This committee consists of Colonel FLOUR.
soY and Messrs. JAMES McKAyE and B. M
JONES.
The nature Of this contract is of course
not revealed, and will not be until it is con-
cluded--ii it shall be.

Our colored brethren in Tennessee and
Mississippi are outraged at the Threatened
advent Of the Mongolians. At Memphis
they gathered along the river banks
in great numbers as the swarthy Orien-
tails passed, and assailed them with threats
and murmurs. It might have been expect
ed that sambo would dislike the company OF
the industrious Chinaman. He has such a
soft thing at present, under the protection
of the Federal authorities, who encourage
his idleness and ,clothe and feed him with
out work, for conscience sake, that the spec
tacle of laboriag man among them is nat
urally offensive to African instincts .--Neao
