BucktailS against FirginianS.
MARYE'S BILL.
Tom SCott'S Flank Movement upon
Ragland's Bill.
EGyAED BY TIEE VIGILANCE OF
SENATOR GREENE.
NO TAX REQUIRED.

In the Dispatch Of Saturday morning IL
vas publicly announced that the Senate
Committee on Roads and Internal Naylga-
ton would not meet again till Tuesday.
Nevertheless, on Saturday morning, Ill the
absence of Senator Taylor (chairman), o
meeting of the committee was quietly called,
and quietly held in the basement OF the
CAPITOL, and Lieutenant-GoYernor John l..
Marye appeared as lobbyist to propose 10
the committee in the first instance, without
previous notice in the Senlte or el>ew here, Il
bill to amend the charter of the Fredericks-
burg, Orange and Charlottesville Railroad
Company and grant that company authority
to build branches from Matthias Point to
Fredericksburg, and from Fredericksburg
to Hanover Junction, thus realizing the long
delayed aspirations of the Southern Railway
Security Company, and embarrassing The
efforts of Dir. Ragland and his VirSinian
associates to establish continuous line under
the control and management of Firginlans.
The bill was sMUGGLED through the COM
mittee as a merely local matter involving the
pecuniary interests of some excellent people
in Fredericksburg, creditors of the first
named railroad company, and was sum-
marily reported to the Senate within the
hour.
Senator Greene called for the reading of
the bill, and 1t was read accordingly.
Wheieupon Senator Greene remarked that
he had heard of that bill before, and found
that il was about what he expected; that 1t
contemplated, and that its passage Wouid ac-
complish, an object which he and bis friends
had long desired. That being the case, he
expected to support the bill, but he desired
to have it printed that it might be considered
| and understood.
Whereupon the bill was passed to It's
second reading, and ordered to be printed.
Senator Greene then inquired whether
THE TAX HAD BEEN PAID, and the President
said No. ;,
Mir. Greene then moved that the commit.
tee inquire and report whether any, anu u
any what, tax should be paid?
After some remarks by the President anu
others, the Senate proceeded to other pt'sl-
ness.
Mr. Greene's motion was never put, nor nor
was it withdrawn. ...I

These are facts beyond contradiction, and
demonstrate to its policy-holders the good
management of the company.
Well may the superintendent say In his
official report "that the company has been
managed with superior ability and integrity,
and that its condition is eminently sound."s
The Hon. William Barnes, while supertr-
tendent of insurance, officially said In, refer
ence to this company: &
"Holding the rank which you have held so
long as the leading lile insurance company
on this continent, am happy to see that
your condition was never stronger or more
impregnable than Mt this date. Your assets
are in such condition that either Board OF
Trustees or the superintendent can at any
time accurately test tho solidity Of the same,
md in such manner as to satisfy beyond
car,l any honest and intelligent policy-holder
as to the soundness OF the company.
~ shall also feel it to be my duty, as the
legal guardian of the public interests com
nected with life insurance, to disabuse the
public mind from any ignorant, false, or ma {
liciouS assaults upon your standing, man
lgement, or responsibilities"
This was only three years ago when said,
and is emipenty appropriate to be repro.
dueed at this day, when so much faisehood
and Instrumentation Is being circulated
against the old Mutual by interested parties
for selfish motives. ~
The last statement shows the company to
be more prosperous than at any previous
date of It's wonderful and successful history.

Senator Wilson's determination not to give
up his seat in the Senate just yet excites the
indignation of many of Mr. Boutwelps
friends, as the delay will of course postpone
| the time for an election to succeed him by tho
Massachusetts Legislature, and in the mea,
while it may be known that Dawes, the oni,
opponent for the senatorship that Boutwell,
fears, will not be idle. His chances Dawes's
are improved by the new situation, ant
among the least he can do is to thank Wilson
for giving him more time to arrange his bust
ness with the State legislators. 1t will ais,
be seen how Wilson's shifting course will
affect the Cabinet question. OF course, i
Boutwell, is not elected to the Senate he will
not feel like retiring from his present Office
and now everyone seems 10 have succumbe,
to the impression that there would be
change at least in the Treasury, although
is to consist only in the promotion of th
present assistant secretary, Mr.. Richardson

consultations with regard to questions il

Assistant Secretary OF tho Treasury
Commissioner Douglass, Of the Interns
Revenue Bureau, has been mentioned in cor
nection with the Assistant Secretaryship {

Richardson; but as there is 81 500 differenc
in the salaries of the two officers in favor c
the Revenue Commissioner it is not likel
that Douglass would care to make the change
