that are now controlled or owned by |
the capitalists alluded to, and to take |
up or combine with the North Missouri, |
Missouri Pacific and Kansas Pacific to
Denver construct an extension from Den |
yer to Salt Lake in order to establish new
through trans-continental railroad which
will combine peculiar and attractive adyan-
tages. The traffic from the Pacific to the
Atlantic can be transported without break
of bulk from ocean to ocean the route
will be in more temperate latitude than
any existing road, and the grade over the
Allegheny mountains is much lower
These and other features are expected to
render the new route the shortest, cheap
est and best, and constitute it as forni-
dable competitor for the most valuable por-
ton Of the Pacific carrying trade. i
| We give the following outline Of the va
rious lines Of railroad, projected or in
course of actual construction, included in
the proposed trans-continental road: E0g

This grand scheme affords another ex-
ample of the apparently irresistible ten
dency toward abroad concentration, and
if it were not for the thoroughly responsible
practicable parties connected with it-re-
i presenting capital to the amount Of scores
Of millions of dollars-it would appear to
be merely Utopian. There can be little
doubt that the parties concerned possess
the means and the energy to consummate
the scheme. - -#s.a
The advantages that will accrue to Rich
mond from the construction of this grand
trans-continental railroad, can hardly be
estimated in the growth, power, and mtiu'
ence it will impart to our local industries
and to every interest that shall hereafter
spring up here. The Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad will not only open up to us tho
richest mineral region in the world, but i
will bring to us all the wealth that lies be
tween the Golden Gates of the Pacific ant
our own favored Atlantic coast.

should succeed it will probably be followed
by representation from Canada, Australia,

TROUBLE IN GEORGIA.

For the past two years there has been
protracted and hotly contested litigation
in several of the State and Federal Courts
for the possession of the Alabama and
Chattanooga railroad. This road lies in
the four States of Tennessee, Georgia, Ala
bama and Mississippi. In the two latter
States the road is in the possession of Re
ceivers, appointed 10y the State authorities
by virtue of authority vested in the Gov
ernors by statutory mortgages obtained
through State aid to the road. But
at recent hearing Of the cases
shad before Judge Bradley, an As
sociate Justice of the Supreme Court Of
the United States assigned to the Circuit
including Alabama, Judge, HARRISON, of
Alabama, and Lewis Rice of Boston Mass.
were appointed receivers and ordered to
appointed Mr. ]. G. Stanton as their Su-
perintendent, and he is now endeavoring
to operate the road for the benefit of the
cities and counties on its line, that for
months have felt the need of q reliable
and regular management.
But the State of Georgia, through its
Governor and Gen, Wofford, Receiver
for the State, has assumed TO sit as a
Court of Appeals and has decided that
Judge Bradley had no right to decide as he
did. They, therefore, refuse to yield pos
session and are now defiantly resisting the
United States Marshal and his deputies in
executing the fiat of an Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court. Gen. Wofford has
been interviewed and says he has been in
structed by Gov. Smith to resist the Unit
ed States authorities by force If necessary.
He is ordered, he says, TO "tedr up every
rail and burn eU6ry bridge in Georgia" be-
fore he will surrender. Gov. Smith has been
heard from and he says he intends to hold
the road il IL takes every able bodied man
in the State Of Georgia, 6etlOeen the ages Of
Is and 45. This is bold Southern talk and
evidently means business.
tt seems to us the position of Gov. Smith
is indefensible. The case has been decided
by court whose jurisdiction is not ques-
toned. If wrongfully decided the law af-
fords him a clearly defined remedy. AS
the case stands, his opposition is resistance
TO the laws of the land and can lead TO but
one result. Judge Bradley can not
power of the Government at his
back and if he does not use it
in case the folly of Georgias Governor
is persisted in, he isuot the man we take
him TO be. We hope the State authorities
of Alabama and Georgia will reconsider
their position and submit peacefully to the
judgments of the courts of the land. If
they do not there is way of making them
submit and we suspect the authorities will
not low to use it if necessary. ..4. .

HOW ALABAMnNs WILL VOTE.
One of the Faithrui Talks Ou i.

An intelligent and thoroughly reliable
gentleman Of East Tennessee, now in the
South, writes private letter to a friend
in this city, from which we extract the
following.
In view of the shameless frauds and the
farce of an election recently held in Geor-
gia this proposed corrupt mode of carry
ing the election is not improbable. He
says:
At Mobile, there was gentleman
came into the train and took his seat next
to me. We had not been long together be-
fore conversation sprang up between us.
l soon learned that he was on his way to
New Orleans after his family, his home be-
ing Mobile county, Alabama. He said he
had recently attended convention at Mo-
bile and the House adopted the following
resolutions
That we, the leading men Of the
Democratic party, in particular, and
the whole party at large, shall make use of
every means in our power to elect officers,
in the coming election, both for our State
and United States, from the Democratic
party.
That all of us, severally and
collectively, shall ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to
divide the colored vote in all the elections
Ol l1e present. GILL palSu'
He further informed me that they had
a general understanding, that in order that
they might be sure of success, they in
particular, and as many of the party as
could, would vote as many times, and at
as many places as they possibly can with
out detection.
He said that Mobile county would, in
an honest election, vote five thousand ma
jority in favor of the Radical party. But
in their last county election they adopted
the plan of repeating votes and were there
by enabled to out vote the Radical party
He said he voted eight times in that cleo
ton and that he knew several men who
voted as high as fifteen times. He also
said that he, with others of his party, went
to the cemetery where the confederate SOL
diers were buried and took the names of
of the tomo stones and voted them, and
that it was their intention to do the same
thing in the coming election. He said
that they could elect all their State anG
county officers in this way and would give
good majority for Greeley. But they die
not care so much for the present as they
did for their internal officers. This is tht
plan which Mobile county has adopted fol
their election of their officers.
