THE CHESAPEAKE AND ONO RAILROAD
The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad is now so
far completed rs to permit the passage over
nearly the whole of the main line OF an eH'
cursion train containing Mr.. G. y. Hunting
ton. the president Of the company: y. y. Low,
ESD, and several leading citizens OF New
York. The road will soon he fully ballasted
and eollippcd, when it will be formally
opencd, and trains will run direct from
Richmond to the terminus Of the main line
at Huntington, on the Ohio, where they VIII
connect with branch roads to all points IN
the West and South.
Some of the New York eXcursionists VINO
had passed over the line for the first time
expressed their astonishment and adlnra-
ton at the wonderful richness and resources
of the country along the main line IN VIZ
gina. They stopped al various points IN tue
kanawha Valley and visited the immense
salt furnaces, which arc capable OF an almost
unboundcd development. They also visited
the various surlacc.iron veins in Augusta,
Bath. Aileghany, and Rockbrid9e, and com
pared them with the deposits in Pennsyl'
yania. where they are now sinking Shafts
from 800 to 400 feet deep TO reach veins OF
EIGHT inches thickness. The excurslonlsts
were astonishcd at the richness and abundance
of the minerals alongthc line of the railroad,
and said that the half had not been told
them Of the richness Of the mountains ana
hills OF Virginia and West Virginia. AT
some points the railroad travcr>cs mountain
gorges distance of scores of miles, where
the minerals to the amount of scores Of mil
lions Of tons can be detached from the hill
side. and loaded directly on the cars. The
entire region is destined to become the CEN
ire Of a vast mining and, ultimately, of a
manufacturing industry, as it is only ncees'
sary to develop, and at Il comparatively slight
cost, its wonderful natural capacities in order
to render it the vastest and cheapest iron
producing country in the world.
It is in contemplation to connect the
| Chesapeake and Ohio railroad with all the
great network of railroads in the North and
and Southwest, and even to the Pacific coast
| 1t will constitute new, valuable, and much
needed middle iue Of transportation between
| the West and The Atlantic seabOardt and will
| exercise vast influence in developing the

The State Journal, commenting upon what
the Dispatch said about The hopelessness Of
what the Tribune styles 'the publication Of
American politics" says:
"From this gloomy prediction we appeal:
The sky is bright trith better ot1ens than II
sees in its cloudy mood to-day. It mistakes
the movement OF nations and races when it
sees only circle lying forever in one plane.
The pathway of humanity is an ascending
spiral. It comes near its old experiences.
but aIwaysreaches little higher. The mani
fcstation of human activities in politics is
not exceptional. 1t partakes of the common
frailty of man. There is sclfshness, intoie-
rance, insincerity, cowardice, and hypocrisy
everywhere.
.'I'hese bad qualities confront us IN poll
tics, in trade, in social life, and even IN the
Church. There will be no publication OF
either until we can secure symmetrlc de-
yelopment of men and women. An educa-
ton which trains body and soul in harmony
can alone do this"
Then let us despair. IT nothing can save
US but the Training of "body and soul IN
harmony" we are "gone up the spout"

1t is astonishing to see how commerce ana

WASHINGTON, November %.
The prospects ola quorum, when Congress
meets on Monday (nine days hence), are very
certain. Members and senators arrive by
every train, and by the end of next week
there will be very large number of the SEN
ate, the "Lower House," and the Third
House " as well, in attendance Having been
duly notified by repeated paragraphs i'll the
newspapers that the President is busy upon
his message, and declines being tortured b?
visitors; not many of the persons having COLI
gressional Office make calls at the White House.
The more distinguished members do, of
to hear from the President, and give their
opinions upon leading topics when the pub
lie enunciation of the Presidents views has
been made. There is but little talk as yet
about the business Of the session, and still
less on topics more sensational, such as the
chances OF strong expressions of opinion by
the political warehouses with reference TO
debating the divisions of spols. though at
this time the victor is already in,
possession Of them, and the prospects of
equally strong comment upon the Executive
practical view Of ciyil-seryice reform and
other matters upon which few sparks of
difference iuay kinde fire of indignat ion
among the true and tried disciples of the
Radical organization. Cabinet speculatious
will crop out in spite Of the universal know
ledge that no one en- speak by the card.
1t is not an unpleasant occupation this ma
king of cabinets for the President, and be-
tween now and the 4th Of March there will
be ut least half Of the Senate fixed some
where or other, aud no one can say how
many others of prominence in public life.
If, as has been said, Senator Cameron
makes a fight upon the confirmation of Fair
man, the recently appointed Philadelphia
postmaster, there will be an example of in
difference to the Presidents reform policy
which will afford room for considerable
oratorieal display, which, even though it lie
confined to caucus and secret session, will be
too hot to remain within such limits, and the
people at large will early have opportunities
for seeing how the leaders respect the prin.
cples they set up as their platform at Phila.
delphia.
There is bound to be trouble in the party
now that the indications come fast and thick

A sorrowful tale Of "man's inhumanity 10
man" is told in our columns to-day. The
victims are three hundred men, women and
children, gathered from Italian towns and vii
lagos, under false pretcnces of being sent to
South America. Landed in New York In
| the beginning of our forbidding winter, these
poor people lind themselves cruelty deceived
and abandoned, without money, friends, or
personal effects The swindle is utter. and
the unhappy foreigners are just awakinS to
the terrorS Of their situation. The rascalS
who betrayed these immigrants are out Of the
reach Of our laws; hut the Immigrants them
selves appeal to Tie sympathies and benevo-
lence OF those among whom they have been
so ruthiessly filmg.-Ne,e York Tribune.
Such impcsitions upon foreigners are con-
stantly taking place. The immigrant bust
ness is lucrative. and such are the tempta.
tions to fraud and raScality in 1t that many
embarked in IL are as cruel and relentless as
was the siave-trader ON the seas. The poor
immigrant cannot speak our language. In
his helplessness be trusts nil to the man who
| undertakes to bring him over-his friend
and relap>ing into state Of entire reliance
upon him. soon finds himself pcnnilcss, and
friendless, and homeless in a strange land,
the language Of whose people he does not
| understand.
| Could any situation be more forlorn
Such swindles are ever repeated, and yet
there Is no way of getting at the swindlers.
The settling Of people In strange land is,
under the most favorable circumstances, at.
tended with difficulty; but when they are
robbed and despoiled of all they possess by
rogues we may vel! see the distress that Is
brought upon them. .....
This business of immigrant agencies, so
marked with fraud, Is oYerdone at the North,
and yet strange to say, we get few foreign
ers here in Virginia. We have the advan-
tage of generally acquiring the better class
Of immigrants, and may congratulate our
selves that the large importations Of all sorts
OF people arc not landed upon our shores.
Still, for tue good Of those who come to this
country to seek subsistence or fortune, it
would be well if they difused themselves
more over the land and part Of them
found their way southwardly. We
cannot well hope for this, however, as long
as the immigrant business is in the hands of
the agents Of the northern and western rail-
roads. The Immigrant tickets take them be-
yond the Mississippi, and the great bulk of
the newcomers hardly pause to take breath
in New York, before they IRE conveyed with
