A SHARP TRIcK.-Saturday afternoon
about 2 o'clock a well-dressed young man,
of very gentlemanly appearance, entered
the grain and provision store of Messrs.
Rhodes s. Brother, up King street, ana
asked for pen and paper. to write some
thing. These were furnished, ana as ne
began to write, well-dressed man No. en-
tered the store. No. 2, according to his
own account, was large stock dealer, ana
wanted several hundred bushels OF corn
and 1000 pounds of hay for his cattle on
the other side of the city. He was also par
ticular as to the quality of his provisions land
must examine them closely. With all defer.
ence to so promising customer, No. 9
was shown to the back of the store, and be
and Mr.. Rhodes were soon examining and
discussing the price ofhay and corn. While
they were engaged in this interesting occu.
patton No. possessed himself of the money
drawer, and transferring all the cash to
his pocket-to the amount of SS0-cleared

appeared, and suspecting something wrong
gave chase. No. 2 left his corn and hay,

around Hackers alley, and was wanting

THE VIRGINIA CITIES BY THE SEA
SPEAK OUT!
Norfolk and Portsmouth Make an Earnest ant
Final Appeal to the General Assembly TO
Save Them and the State!

At a mass meeting Of the merchants,
bankers, mechanics, laborers, and citizens
generally of Norfolk, held at the Opera
House on Monday night, 18th instant, the
following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas the railroad policy of Virginia
has been announced as in favor Of lines
running East and West, and South and
Southwest for trade, and North and
South for trduel; and whereas the cities
Of New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
and Chicago have grown into wealth
and power under the operation of wise
systems of internal Improvement and
whereas the cities of Virgin ia, especially
those of Norfolk and Por tsmouth. are
vitally interested in a trict adherence to
the policy of coast deliveries of commodities
for shipment, out of which direct trade and
commercial independence must ultimately
grow and whereas the Pennsylvania Cen.
trail railroad has now bill before the Gen.
| eral Assembly which it is plain to US will
result, if passed, in great injury to the in.
terror cities of Virginia and our own de.
struction; and whereas, in our jud gment,
this great crisis of our history involves alike
the agricultural, manufacturing and com
mcrcial interests Of the State; and whereas
we are warranted in this belief by the fact
that Mr.. Madison, when chairman of the
Committee on Commerce in the General
Assembly i7S3), deplored the tribute we
then paid Philadelphia and Baltimore, equal
to twenty or thirty per cent. in our exports
and imports-"a tribute" which, he said
elf paid into the treasury of the State,
would yield surplus above her wants." and
whereas bis remedy for the evil was to con.
centrate the trade of Virginia ut one or two
points (Norfolk and Alexandria), and thus
establish actthtn our borders commercial
marts where her exports and imports would
be collected in mass and distributed to the
ultimate consumers (uide Rieyes's Life OF
Madison, p. 543); and whereas George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other
Industrious Viginians, concurred in this
wise policy Therefore, animated by the
history of the past and the hopes of the
future, be it
/. r solped, That we call on our breth
rem throughout the State not TO suffer q
policy at once spacious and benevolent te
be sacrificed in the interest Of great for
eign corporation which is working to the
north, south, and west Of us in the interest
Of PENNSYLVANIA and the port of Philadei
phia, against Virginia and her interior
cities, as well as this port.
.. Resogved, That we recognize the ne
cessity of accommodating the travelling
public by means of an all-rail line TO Alex

nection should be under the perpetual con-
troll of this State, and SO protected BY
guarantees US in no case to be used as line
of through transportation for freights which
should find their terminal points aoithin our
State.

interests Of Virginia, we protest against

RICHMOND, VA, Feb. IA, 1911.
To the General Assembly Of Virginia:
While my official occupations render it
impossible for me to notice very many Of
the numberless Misrepresentation and
misstatements respecting this company,
which have been made by writers in the
newspapers and by others, there are some
few which my official duty will not admit
of my neglecting to refute.
One of these is the assertion that this
company has heretofore habitually not only
neglected and refused to facilitate the
transportation Of through freights over its
road, but has positively done all i'll its
power to obstruct such transportation.
No assertion could be more utterly un-
founded or unjust than this, OF indeed more
fully contradicted by well-authenticated
facts. To gain for it the more ready belief,
1t has been further repeatedly and recklessly
asserted, that the stockholders who own q
majority of the shares in this company, own
much larger interest-alleged by some
qreat-in the Seaboard and Roanoke rail
road. And to sustain this charge, an in
quiry was ordered and made by a committee
of the Legislature, which resulted in prov
ing that Just the reverse Of what was charged
was true, and that the interest Of the COM
mon stockholders in both lines was much
greater in the Fredericksburg than an the
Seaboard line! Justice and candor de-
manded that the same publicity should be
given to this signal rerutation of this charge,
as was given to the unfounded charge it.
self, SO recklessly made. But, on the con-
trary, those who made the accusation-the
partisans of the Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany-have not only persistently been 81
lent as to the refutation and its proofs, but
some of them persist in reiteratlng the
statements so fully disproyed.
II it had been the desire or policy of the
common stockholders in these two lines 10
hinder or discourage through traffic be-
tween the North and South over the hlch'
mond and Fredericksburg route, how can
such a suspicion be reeonciled with the
public and notorious fact, that it was at Inc
instance and by the earnest efforts OF the
President Of the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac Railroad Company,
against the determined and vehement oppo-
silion of many Of those now cooperating
with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
that charters were procured from the Legis.
lature for constructing through the cities Of
Richmond and Petersburg the connecting
railroads, which have so far facilitated the
transportation of through freights by re-
iieying it from the heavy expense OF drny-
age and commissions for forwardingin those
ci.ies?
And why was il that the funds needed tor
constructing those connecting roads, or ut
least the more expensive one, with its tun-
mel through Richmond, were furnished by
these very same stockholders in the Rich.

ED1ToRs.-Referring to our notice of the

conciliatory and liberal course, to elevate
and ennoble the profession to which they
belong. For ourselves, we hope that we
may never be too sef-conceited to learn,
too obstinate to acknowledge our mistakes,
too illiberal to do justice to an opponent,
too selfish to sacrifice interest to truth, too
intolerant to maintain the right Of free

A NEW WATER-RoUTE FROM THE WEST
A very important project, advanced by
Colonel Raiford, of Texas, for new water.
route between the Mississippi river and the
Atlantic seaboard, is now under considera'
ton in the South and Southwest. The de.
sign is to take advantage of the series Of
lakes, marShy lands. and rivers below New
Orleans, and connect them, partly by canals
and partly by dredging, SO as to form a
canal, or, more properly, water-line from
point six miles below New Orleans along
the Gulf coast through Florida to St. John
and Charleston. The total length is 500
miles, iand the cost is estimated at Sl2, 000,-
600
The work is described as presenting pecu-
liarly favorable engineering advantages.
Only sixty out of the first $50 miles will re-
quire actual canaliug, and only one lock
will be required for the entire distance.
The remainder Of the route Is equally feast
BILE. The ground is level and soft, and the
expense will be mere fraction of the cost
of the Erie Canal, while the advantages to
commerce will be far greater, as the new
route will be open to navigation during the
entire year, not being liable to be frozen
up.--Ne,o York Democrat.
