sphe sreoueat reference to Virginia COM
,.arles and ITO stock held in Virginia
furfug the debate on Saturday on the
Woop amendment was the subject Of
remark, and, indeed, sharp criticisms.
amongst the spectators. One gentleman
said that it was just such talk as had
excited great prejudice against us, and de-
tered much capital from coming to Virgi-
MIA. lie had heard distinguished capital
list Say that the unlimited resources and ma.
tive wealth of Virginia would. never be
developed until the old Virglnians and their
prejudices were dead. 49, ..'.sz@
The remark was unjust, and we do not
believe the people Of Virginia distrust the
capitalists who come here to invest their
money. But this movement, headed by
General MALONE, the object of which is to
seize the Richmond and Petersburg rail.
road because part of the stock in it has
been recently purchased by gentlemen liv-
ing out of the State, will do great deal of
injury. We warn the Legislature against
such an act, as calculated to inhict upon us
incalculable evil .-s..1, 3tl - .'s'<125l
1t would be the more aggravating be-
cause we all here know that there is no
sincerity In the pretext. It is a ruse to ac-
complish an object that can find no better
justification. The act would be blot on
the statute book, and infict an injury upon
the State which it win take years to repair.
And Is not every one personally interested
in preventing this? Is not every member
of the Legislature personally interested in
preventing any act which will retard immi-
grafton, keep out capital, and prolong the
PROSTATE condition of poor Old Virginia.
Let them look to this and beware of the
public judgment. '".

3 The SDoliatiOn Rill


s The original bill for authorizing the Or
ange and Alexandria Railroad Company to
purchase the stock held by the State In
that company was on Saturday amended
by the adoption of MIR. WooD's amend
ment, which in effect wrests the Richmond
and Petersburg railroad from the company
that owns it, and transfers it to the CONSOLE
dated line under Gen. MALONE. Upon the
question of the passage Of the bill as
amended an affirmative vote of a majority
of the whole House is required under the
constitution, and its passage is therefore
problematical. We do not think it can
pass. ........ ..,.s e.. ...I... -a
1t is assuredly one of the most bold and
unjustitiable measures we have ever known
to be introduced into the Virginia Legisla-
ture. ..- ..
There has not been one single word Of
complaint made against the Richmond and
Petersburg company in all the debate, and
the entire tactics of the MALONE party
consist in the shallowest devices to excite
alarm and apprehension. The Legislature
is frightened with such stories of giants,
and ghosts, and vampires, as fright the
children in the nursery, who hide them
selves under their mammy's apron, trem-
bling with alarm. So are the legislators
driven to take refuge behind Gen. MALONE
from terrors held up before them, and he
struts forth in his cocked-hat, like +" Jack
the Giant Killer and pockets the rewards
for deeds of gallantry never performed and
for defending the State from an enemy that
never had existence. Oh, the Times oh,
the Customs ..- .-.......

CORRUPT Barpaininp.

1t has been stated on the floor of both
Houses of the General Assembly that
during the progress of the ''Bucktail war -
propositions were made to Gen. MALONE
to surrender to him the control of the
Richmond and Petersburg road in ex-
change for his cessation of opposition to the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company.
On one occasion, at least, the authority
for this statement has been demanded, and
the names of the parties who had made
such proposition. The latter interroga-
tory has never been met, although it was
charged that the offer made was Of such q
nature as to be indignantly repudiated"
by the President Of the Atlantic, Missis-
sippi and Ohio road.
Now, we claim that the public has right
to know who these persons were. The Penn.
sylvania Central Company ought to be in.
formed of their identity. And we cannot
understand why any one should conceal it,
unless indeed there be some reason to pro.
tect individuals who seek to obtain full
pardon for past offences by turning States
evidence in the dark. ..''s '-..-

MAJOR WOOD, of Halifax, on Saturday,
in his place in the House of Delegates,
stated that the Dispatch, "the organ of the
Weldon and Wilmington Railroad" said
that gentlemen in North Carolina had pur-
chased $500, 900 for 5000 shares) worth of
the stock of the Richmond and Petersburg
railroad. The Major made two errors in
this announcement. 1st. The Dispatch is
not the organ of the Weldon and Whining
ton railroad. I'd. The Dispatch did not
make the statement upon its own au-
thority. 1t merely repeated what had
been stated in the House of Delegates
on Friday. To the statement repeated
in the Dispatch, the reader will remember,
we attached not the slightest Importance.
We maintained that the question as to who
owned stock in the company, or where
they lived, should have no weight in the
Legislature. The matter was referred to by
us merely for comment, and for the express
sion of our aversion to the device that
would seek to dispossess men Of the control
of their property merely because they do
not reside in the State. The idea would
take lis back thirty years behind the present
time.
About "organs," we understood Major
WooD to speak in the general spirit of the
day, and knew he meant nothing unkind to
this paper. But we take occasion to repeat
what has been before said, that the Dispatch
is no organ for anybody but its editors. :,

The Allies

There cannot be doubt in the minds of
those who have been familiar with the late
railroad struggles that the seaboard road,
the Bay line, and the ocean line from Nor
folk, are in the present fight as allies Of
the Atlantic, Ohio, and Mississippi line.
The fight is to turn the tide of freight to
these lines. The New Orleans and Atlantic
has directly no great interest in the matter,
but it is in alliance with those who may be
benefited, and they are satisfied with plac-
ing Gen. MALONE in the direction of the
Richmond and Petersburg road and that is
quite enough to satisfy US, and hould be
enough to satisfy Virginia, that this thing,
wrong per Sc, would be perilous to our
trade.
Richmond and Petersburg would be
made the great sufferers; but what would
Norfolk gain? The sky-scrapers have al
ready made greatfuss over their promises !;
but what has she realized? Let her an

A MAN BOILED TO DEATH IN THE TUB
OF A DIsTILLERY.-[F From the Cincinnati
Enquirer, March 9 Thomas j. Barry, u
Government collector, came to most hor-
rible death yesterday ut Fleischauer's dis
tillery, near Sedamsville. The man was
seen during the afternoon sitting in Win
dow near the tub in which the worm is
coiled, and which Is filed almost constantly
with hot water. Being needed and not to
be found, search was made for him about
the building, and messengers We're sent TO
Sedamsville. A hat was finally discovered
floating in the tub, and the body was found
soon after. It was thought to have been IN
the vessel at least two hours, and its con-
dition after being exposed to the action OF
water heated nearly to the boiling point for
this length Of time can easily be imagined.
1t is q relief to think that the death of the
unfortunate man must have been almost
instantaneous.
Barry had been in the employment of the
Government for many years, and had the
reputation Of being good and faithful
officer. He was thirty years of age. and
leaves wife and one or two children,
who are residing at Sedamsville.

sufficient amount could be secured IN BAL

DESTROYS to get the trade Of the west. Isn't
that trade foreign? Will they look upon

Resolued, by this meeting, That it is due
to their interest, as we'll as to those OF the
State, to enter their solemn protest against
any such action and they do insist that
thirty-two Senators and one hundred mem
bers of the House of Delegates would con-
stitute Legislature sufficiently numerous
to repre- sent the popular. principle-would
more tr uly speak the voice of the people,
more wisely protect their interests, and, to
O considerable extent, relieve them of taxa
ton. And the citizens Of Fauquier, here
assembled, do therefore instruct their sena-
tor and Delegates to oppose all plans OF APP
portionmeut that do not materially reduce
the numbers of our future Legislatures.

Gov. Smith), which has afforded us some
amusement: .. .
RESOLVED, That the True linden, and such
other papers as may choose to do so, be
requested to publish these proceedings.

THE President of the United States, re-
cognizing the great ability, integrity and
high character of Frederick Douglas, APP
pointed him Assistant Secretary to the
Commissioners on behalf of the Govern:
ment to visit st. Domingo and report upon
its resources, in accordance with the reso-
luton of Congress. In this capacity he
was associated with three eminent and dis
tinguished citizens, respected and honored
wherever known. The President of the
United States, ex-senator Wade, and Conn
missioners White and Howe could recog-
nize Mr.. Douglas as gentleman, and so
treat him; but the cork jerkers, stewards,
clerks and masters of second-class boat,
running between Acquia Greek and WASH
ington, could not find it consistent with
their antecedents or calling to treat him as
anything but "a Niger" and they there
fore refused to allow him to eat at their
dining table. Two to one, not man
connected with the boat, either as clerk,
master or employee, that was Fred. Doug
las peer in intelligence, culture, or in any
thing constituting a true gentleman.
