Gen. Malone and Mr.. Thos A. Scott, are
having another Railroad fight; this time over
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad, at meeting of the stockholders of
which, held in Knoxville, last week. Gen.
Malone, through his counsel, offered to purchase
the entire stock of the company at par. 1t is al
legged that R. T. Wilson, president; Capt.
Jacques, vice president and general manager;
and Charles Nj. MEG hee,. one of the directors,
Own majority of the stock, and that they
have sold the same to the Southern Railroad
Security company, of which Scott is the head.
1t is also charged that the directors have by
this secret sale been enabled to get premium
on their stock, at the expense of other stock
holders, by purchasing from small holders at
nominal maket rates, ranging from thirty to
sixty cents and selling to the Security compa-
ny for more than par. The managers Of this
road have purchased the partially completed
road from Morristown, leading to North Caro-
lima, which, when completed would leave Ma
homes road out, giving the Southern Security
Company through route from New York to
Memphis via Greensboro and Richmond, or
Danvillc and Lynchburg hence Gen Malone S

which in the first part speaks of the situation
In politics in Tennessee, and which closes as
follows: IF the popularity of the President
shall continue, as | doubt not it will, it is more
than probable he will be reelected for third
term. Indeed, rather than put in power this
corrupt old Democratic party, will favor the
election of Grant for life. y Brownlow to be

THE OLD VIRGINIA CLERK.-As old and
cherished land marks pass away, 1t is well to
record their prominent features for the benefit
of those who come after US. and among the
many institutions that have characterized Fir-
GINA, none are more worthy of notice than,
that formerly most important parsonage, the
county and circuit Clerk, Of the old days past
and passing away. Take him, all in all, he was
character peculiarly Tirginian and one that
only constitution and society, such as we shall
never look upon again, could produce. Gener-
ally gentleman and receiving his Office from a
race of gentlemen for generations, be was a
very Chesterfield 10 manners, if slightly pomp-
Gus and dgnifed withal, and mode of neat
ness, order and regularity in all things Portly
of presence, dressed in the proud Virginia blue
with spotless, ruthed shirt front and diamond
pin, low quartered shoes neatly BACKED and
white hose-who ofmiddle age has not seen
him, as with gold pen behind his ear and queue
neatly tied, he quietly but swiftly transacted the
varied duties of his office on Court day. 1t
needed not the musty records, extending from
colonial times or the ancient law books, to give
dignity to his Office, for he was dignity itself,
and woe to the luckless wight who intruded
upon it. A compendium of legal lore, inherl
ted picked up and studied, he was a better
lawyer than most of those who wore the gown
and sat upon the bench; the history Of his
county, people and State was at his finger ends.
and nothing delighted him more than to impart
it and diate upon the gories of the past, of
Henry, Watkins Leigh, Chapman johnson,
Baldwin, Shelley, and host of others; but it
was in the social circle that his varied attrac-
tons showed to the greatest advantage. Good
wine mellowed down the austerity of his Off
cia manner, and, inexhaustible in aDccdote,
ever ready to give and take Joke, he was the
life of the Court circle when business was con-
Guided. A few of these gentlemen of old days
gone, still finger among US, who for years have
conducted the business entrusted to them in
the most faithful manner, and whose books,
kept in a handwriting like copper-plate and
with fidelity to duty rarely equaed and
never surpassed, are the best monuments of
their useful, though quiet and unobtrusive lives
Long may they, live, examples to the youthful
successors of the Old Virginia Clerk, following
in whose paths they cannot 60 astray or fall by
the wayside. -Stdunton Spectator

The Richmond correspondent of the Peters

that from calculations made by the di>burSng
officers of the Treasury, it is ascertaned that
with the surplus now on hand aud the amount
that can be realized from taxation, at fifty cents
on the dollar, four per cent. interest on the
public debt can scarcely be paid next year
and that it is not probable the Genera! Assem-
bly, will attempt to raise the rate of taxation.

ermcp on the islands Of Zingst, Oars and Hid
