tFrom the Washington National Republican
sham. CONSERVATIVE Railroad COmbIna.

How little the people and patriotisl
have to do with great number of politics
movements is illustrated in the case of Il
present conservative movement in vi
glnla. The Conservative party in the Vii
ginia legislature has done little else for fou
years than TO attend to the interests I
certain powerful railroad corporations
For the paltry consideration of free passe
over the roads the legislature has vote
away, in that time, to sundry companies
assets of the state which, on the estimate
of Governor Walkers financial message O
1870, were worth about 500, 00O, 900.
The Republicans had placed claus e i,
The state, constitution prohibiting any in.
crease Of the state debt. There could b,
no squandering, therefore, OF publ,
money in that direction. But no law conlt
be framed to prevent the squandering d
the convertible assets of the state. AnC
so the conservative party of Virginia have
with corruption and extravaganza which
puts to shame everything that has beer
done in South Carolina and Louisiana
made way with more than TWENTY-FIVE
millions of the stocks and bonds for which
the state debt was created for the benefit
OF the great railroad corporations.
