The POLICY HOLDERS ASSURANCE
COMPANY. We call especial attention to
the advertisement of this company, that
appears in our issue to-day. We need
not speak of the character of its mana
gcro They are well known and are rep
resentntive business men in this and the
different communities in which they re-
side.
The many friends of this company will
notice with much qualification the sure
and steady progress it has made, and the
enviable position that it has in one year
attained. Its officers, though fully alive
to the progress of the business, and
prompt to adopt any measures that were
for the best interests of the assured, yet
steadily refused to yield to an unhealthy
greed for business, that characterizes the
conduct of some companies. They were
unwilling to jeopardize or in any way
ipiure the future interests of the assured
for the sake of present appearances.
They preferred to work prudently, pa-
tiently and perseveringly, trusting that
time and experience would justify the
wisdom of their course. Their reward
has come earlier than they had hoped.
This success is due mainly to the sagaci-
ty and financial ability OF itn most wor-

What we Should Have.

The flour of our city should be trans
ported by the Atlantic Coast line to feed
eastern North and South Carolina, and for
ten miles each side Of the Petersburg and
Weldon, the Weldon and Wilmington, and
the Wilmington and Manchester roads,
every nail that is driven should be furnished
by our nail factories of Belle Isle. So ought
the same country to be supplied with the
hollow-ware, stoves, furniture, and ma
chinery manufactured in this city. We
have the advantage in distance over all
other places supplying these things, and
can sell them as reasonably as Baltimore.
Yet, what do we see? They come from
Baltimore. And why? Because this city
has been sufferer from the dark aud cum
ming ways of railroad scheming and man.
agement. .'.
Its no wonder now that as we are about
to supply the States South of us with a
large portion of their wants, that the Sea-
board and Bay boat line should be arrayed
here with great activity to help to seize the
Richmond and Petersburg road and place
it at the command and mercy of the Presi-
dent of the Mississippi, Ohio and Atlantic
Company. The Bay line must be satisfied
with the proposed manager of the little
link between Richmond and Petersburg
and it is very plain that he suits the Sea-
board and Bay line he In no wise answers
the purposes or meets the views of the peo-
pie of Virginia or of this city.

Wrong Intantionc-

seldom or never find fair means for their
qualification. A thing founded in wrong is
achieved always in a way that is wrong.
The schemes of wrong-doers are always
dark, and their fates show how vain they
are. .r.....
The State of Virginia entered into part
nerShip with the private stockholders of
the Richmond and Petersburg railroad. In
the act her faith was plighted to those
stockholders to participate with them in
expenditure and in management. The State
had power which the private stockhold-
ers were by implication assured could
necer be used to their detr7ment. ar
This plain proposition cannot be denied.
Now, then, suppose that the State de-
clares by law that the stock it holds in the
Richmond and Petersburg road shall be
sold to corporation haoing no interest an
the Richmond and Petersburg road, against
the wishes of the private stockholders in
that road, is not that breach of faith to
those stoekholders2 Can there be two opin.
ions on the subject
Such transfer Of the States stock in the
corporation without consulting the private
shareholders, and without giving to them
the opportunity of purchasing the States
share in the joint property, would be an act
OF gross intdelity that would infict a dark
stain upon the public honor. Such an act
in private commercial life would damn the
person who did it in the estimation Of the
whole commercial community. 1t would
be hostile to every principle Of honor, pro.
blty, and good faith amongst men. Were a
partner to sell out his interest in business
without consulting his co-partners in busi-
ness, or giving them an opportunity to buy
his interest, 1t would be regarded as an act
of treachery for which there could be no
excuse, and the performer Of that act would
be considered little better than thief.
1t such faithlesSneSs were tolerated by
society 1t would be a serious blow struck
at commerce. Men enter into alliances for
mutual advantage, and they owe to one
another the most solemn obligations, ex-
tending far into their social relations. The
laws recognize these relations, and throw
around them shields for the protection and
Of mutual trust and good
faith amongst men as the surest guarantees
for the combination Of talent and means,
and the development Of the general wealth
and tbs natural resources OF the State.

Strange Bed.Fe1IoWs.

ELLIS, late president of the Richmond and

General MALONE the ruler of that road. It

Foreign CAPITAL.

The hue and cry against foreign capital,
as 1t is styled, and the attempt to spread
abroad distrust of the Richmond and Pc
tersburg company because some of It's
stockholders live out of the State will not
bear criticism. A glow-worm's ray will eX-
pose Its shallowness and hypocrisy.
What has built the roads Of Virginia !?
Foreign capital. The money of foreign
capitalists rests in the mud, and stills, and
rails, and rolling-stock of the Virginia rail-
ways, and the State is paying no interest
upon at. Nearly all the roads themselves
are in debt; and to whom? Northern cap
italists. Whence, then, is the reason or the
propriety of this talk about Virginia inter-
ests and Virginia management?
1t is folly and presumption. The small
amount of Virginia capital that has. been
locked up in railroads would, as MIR.
DANIEL, Of Lynchburg, says, be released
tomorrow by the sale of the stock to
northern capitalists if the roads were pay
ing any dividends. 49, ..
Why indulge the vanity and selcconceit
of casting suspicion and distrust upon the
very sources to which we are indebted for
the means with which our railroads have
been built? Poverty and pride are unfit
companions; but in this matter their COM
pany is increased by Folly and Ingratitude.
Suppose the State transfers the Richmond
and Petersburg road to the consolidated
line of the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio
company, does any one suppose it will be
paid for out Of the treasury of that COM
pany? 1t will be paid for with money
borrowed from the outside capitalists, by
the abuse and denunciation of whom it has
| been attempted to brighten the Virginia
Legislature into selling the State stock in
the Richmond and Petersburg road to the
Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio line, and
thus giving that corporation the power
over the Richmond and Petersburg road
and its hapless outside stockholders.
The dealers in the game against the for
eigners make muddle indeed of their
warfare and if they are successful they
will set back the State for years. ..,-

Mot tO he Prevented

If any man thinks that General MALONE
Is to be permitted to hold the position be-
tween this city and Petersburg he is great
blockhead. The day is past for this sort OF
thing. The Algeriues once held the sea
over great surface, including the pillars
of HERCULES. They granted charters to
sail the sea, and nations paid them tribute
for the protection of their ships. But the
Algerines no longer restrict commerce. OF
levy tribute upon nations for the security
of their trade. without putting the piracy
of the Algerines upon the same footing
with railroad restrictions nowadays, we
mean to say that every obstruction In the
way Of commerce is in spirit kindred to the
policy Of the Algerines. In proportion, a:
ourselves to the barbarians, and copy theil
example, which was to take advantage o.
position, and make money out of the incon
venience and injury inflicted upon society
The railroads as we'll as the sea must be
delivered from the Algerines. There must
be perfect freedom to 60 and come, and
there must be no restrictions allowed upon
commerce.
Therefore it is idle to suppose, should
the Government ruthlessly hand over the
Richmond and Petersburg Railroad Com
pany to the management Of another COM
pany alien to it, that the spirit of liberty,
which is the life of commerce, can be stihed
and subdued? No. Another charter for a
road between Richmond and Petersburg
will assuredly be obtained, and an indie
pendent company will build road that
will open the highway as high as the sky to
all things.
But why should this step be forced upon
an unofending company? Gen. MALONE
has obtained charter at the present ses-
sion of the Virginia Legislature to build a
road from Richmond to Petersburg, and
that without opposition 1--WE believe) from
the Richmond and Petersburg Company
Why does not that satisfy him? But like
the hedgehog in the rabbits nest, he now
demands the present road! He declines to
avail himself of the privilege OF building q
road and covets that which is already built
Now, will the State be guilty Of the SUI.
preme folly and the infamous injustice Of
dallying with this sort of scheming? o.
what use is its legislation if this is to be
done9 1t grants a gentleman charter to
build road, (his need Of which we canno,
see), and it is now asked to render that
charter Of no earthly consequence by Civ.
ing to the same gentleman who sought and
secured it the road that as already built.

and twisted about as his caprice dctatesF
If any one IL to build road between
Richmond and Petersburg, should he not
be the man who has asked the privilege Of
doing SO and obtained it? Certainly the
company which already has road should
not be compelled to surrender it and to
build another. Least Of all, should they
be compelled to give up their road to the
man who has obtained the privilege to build
q road alongside theirs? This change of
situation by legislative enactment would
bring the Legislature Into ridicule, and In.
