election for Governor. The Legislature is
probably Republican. Iiawlcy is reelected to

TIE CHESAPEAKE AND Quo CANAL. The
long and severe wiuter, that seemed so 10th to
leave, having relaxed lis hard hand even upon
the still waters Of the canal, it is again resum-
ing its functions, and with, We should suppose,
unusually good prospects for fine business
year. Having passed through the strike cpl
dcmic successfully, and fiually it may be hoped,
active navigation is at hand, bringingto market
ali the produce Of the region through which it
passes. Grain, -four, lumber, timber, bark,
lime, constitute some OF the articles transport
ed, while much the largest and most important
trade arises from the transportation OF that uu-
cxccIlcd quality of biumInous coal, which has
of late years commended Itself to the commerce
Of many lands beside our own. The people OF
the adjacent States of Maryland and Virginia,
as well as in the District, are interested IN the
prosperous condition Of this work, and it be-
hooves lis all to see that nothing Is done which
may permanently thWart the objects for which
it was first created, and thus far, through evil
aud gond report, inhcxibIy maintained. a
public canal is like common road, for any and
all that may choose to us it, whilst great rail
roads, though indispensable, lack the element
of common interest, for the reason that they
are owned by and worked for single company.
We hardly think it can be long before decid
cd improvements will be made in canal naviga-
ton. Steam will undoubtedly be Introduced
and become general, whereby this method Of
transportation will then approximate nearer to
the rapidi'y and pronlptitude which may be
predicted of railroads
There ought, however to be no ungencrous
rivalry between these different methods of con-
vcyance; let each pursue its own course without
meddlug or interference with the other; neither
need fear the fullest employment its facilities
vii! admit OF. = Washington Republican.

But the cat he wouln't Do chawed,
So he lit on the back of that there dorg,
And bit and chawed and clawed
Oh the hair it few, and the purp be howle,!,

Senator Lewis, Representatives Platt, Sto,
we'll anu Sener, and Col. Il. W. Hughes, hav-
ing been elected honorary members at previ

honor conferred were read.
The chairman Of the committee stated that
he could only report progress, as the committee
was incomplete. The other members should
he appointed at an early day, as a month hence
the township and county elections would take
place, and it was requisite that woik should be
commenced before that time.
Ex-Gov Wells and Mr.. i. II. Chandler,
who were announced to speak, did not appear.
a. L. Maukin SAID that 10 the present state
of politics in Virginia and theignorauce of what
had been transplring there he did not known
future, but Judging 10y general results he be-
lieved that with popular candidate and fair
ness Of election the State could be carried for
the Republican party against all opposition.
With the fact that they had patriotic prcsl
dent and sympathetic man with the people
they could look for a party from the white poo
pic of Virginia that they had never hoped for
before There was no hope Of the Democratic
party dividing the colorcd element, for their
power was dead, aud the Republican party
could go into the coming fight with every as
s,rance of success and strike hands on the
name Of Robert Hughes for Governor
The following was adopted:
Rcsolrcl, That the Democratic party Of Nir
GINA has proved treacherous to the principles
embodied in the constitution of the State, es
pacially in the provisions providing for free
schools and the freedom Of the ballot as well as
for the payment Of the public debt and election
Of Judges.

RAILROAD SUIT The following opinion was
delivered by the Supreme Court Of the United
States yesterday: The United States vs. thu
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. Error
to the Circuit Court FIR the district OF Mary
land. In lS54 the company inert gagged its road
to indemnify the city against i debt which it
was to incur in issuing certain boDds in aid OF
the company. The mortgage required the
company to provide the ci;y with the amount
needed to pay the interest on the bonds as 1t
fell due, and finally with the SUN needed to
pay the principal The company has retained
from its quarterly payments to the city the
amount Of government tax, aud the qucs' ion Is
whether the company Is liable for the tax. The
court below held that the interest taxed was the
property OF the clGy aud that it could not be
taxed tor that reason. This court atiirms tina,
judgement. holding the loan was solely for the
benefit of the city aud that therefore the tax,
If imposed upon the property Of the c.rpora
ton of Baltimore; that i is not within the pow
cr Of Congress to lax the properly Of 4 municipal
corporation, and that 1t Was not the lntcmt!rn
OF the internal revenue laws t. tax th2 properly
of such corporations. 1t is also held that the
tax imposed by the l22l section of the internal
revenue act OF 1864 was substantially tax on
the stock and ST ckholdcrS, and not on the
railroad or canal companies therein mentioned.
Mr. Justice Hunt delivered the opinion Of the
court. Dissenting. Mr. Justice Clifford.
