Suu, say GA prominent republican Senator
who has lately had the opportunity of seeing
the South for himself, has remarked since his
return that if the present condition OF affairs
continue, such States as South Carolina and
Florida, for instance, must inevitably be Atrl-
canized. The result, Of course, must be the
exodus of the whites, the utter decay OF mater

those States into wilderness. These observa-
tons apply equally as we'll to Louisiana as to

pfi Baron dItaiuba and Count Sclopis, the

deriug that Mr.. Adams and Chief Justice
Cockburn did not also receive some recognition,
The distinction seemed to endorse the views of
Cockburn that he and Mr.. Adams were on the
commission as lawyers not as judges, a posi-
ton which Mr.. Adams steadily avoided. But
now it comes out that, while these two gentle
men accepted regular salary, the foreigners
refused any such reward There is nothing

TROUBLE WITH RAILROAD HANDS. Some
dissatisfaction existing with a number OF the
hands on the western division of the Q. u y.
r. r. has within the past few days given rise to
trouble on that part of the work. Happily,
however, up to this time there has been. but
little damage to the company, and no lives have
been lost. It appears that few Of the white
hands. to whom small amount of wages is
due from the company, on Thursday, by means
of coaxing and threatening, induced small
number of negroes to join them in a strike
They then laid their plans for revenge, or more
probably plumber. Their first wor was to mis-
place switch about mile west OF the Hawk $
Nest, by which they hoped to cause COLLISION
of the eastward bound express freight train
with a material train which was there lying on
the siding Their plans were we'll laid, and
eliminated as calculated, but fortunately not to
the extent desired. AS the freight train was
moving very slowly only slight damage was sus-
taiued, and such as the engineer speedily re-
haired. Finding themselves unsuccessful 10
this, the next day they succeed in getting hold
of can of nitro glyccrine, and placed it on the
track so as to blow up the next express train
that passed, and also threw a disabled Hat car
across the track. Both distractions were, how
ever seen 10 time to prevent damage, and re-
moved before the trains reached either point.
Matters became so serious that some measures
had to be taken to put step to these dlaboll-
cal attempts to do mischief, and on Friday
about twenty-five of the principal men engaged
in it were arrested and taken to Charleston,
but subsequently discharged. They all return
ed to the scene of their operations on Saturday
but UP to the time of this writing they have
been quiet, though threats have been made to
tear up the track. Beyond slight detention
of one or two freight trains, thirty dollars will
cover all the damage sustained by the company.
Capt. Breckenridge, on whose subdivision the
troubles occurred, came to this city on Sunday
morning to consult with Colonel Whitcomb as
to what is best to be done in the matter. There
has been some talk of sending up body Of re-
gular troops, the local authorities of Vest Vir-
GINA seeming to be unable to protect the COM
papy againt these raiders. 1t may also be re-
marked that the negroes for time made
bold stand against the railroad authorities,
having previously succeeded in securing num-
Der of muskets or firearms Of some kind from
a neichboring house. These guns, however,
were soon taken from them by a bold charge,
and thew are now in the custody Of proper per-
sons. Richmond Dispatch.
