TEE CENTENNIAL IN CONGRESS.

We hope to see the great Centennial
Fair a: Philadelphia, success. We
disagree with Mr.. Garfield that the
Fourth of July is an inappropriate day
for the holding of it-for we believe It to
be the p-operest thing in the world for
one big. grand, monster Independence
day celebration and blowout. But while
we hope to see the Fair success, fnan-
eially and otherwise, we have very grave
doubts of the prop-ie.y and policy of ap-
propriating of the national flnds for the
before Congress and the asking for an
appropriation invites the critic tointrude
himself behind the delicate but gauzy
veil of patriotism which has been hang
ed between the popular vision and this
s,rea. scheme. and look at il with the

and without any considerable delay.
We cannot see how any man can question
his ability to do 80. Look at the amounts

Engagement was made. Such connection
would be OF great moment to Baltimore, rs
it would make it the centre OF a complete

Runors are thick as autumn leaves aoou'
the matters referred to in this paragraph
from the american. AS far as we bave Deen
able 10 ascertain the facts and probablilties,
we feel authorized to say that no contract
with regard to the route ola Lynchburg ana
Dsnyille has been entered into between the
Baltimoreaps and the Pennsylyanians, VINO
are supposed to have controlling power
over the Danyille and Piedmont roads.
The american alludes to the desirable
ness to Baltimore of change OF gauge Mt
Dauyile and down to Charlotte to suit the
gauge of the Baltimore line. As our read
ers al! know it is this prospective change OF
gauge that has initiated the discussion about
the change Of gauge from DanYilic to Rich
mond. If Baltimore shall be accommodated
with a gauge 20 Charlotte it would be folly
indeed for Virgins to refuse TO change the
Danville gauge.
There is to be an effort made to repeal the
clause in the general railroad law authoriZ'
ing railroad companies to construct branches
tea miles long. The repeal OF this clause, IL
is contended, will prevent the Baltimore
road from constructing line beyond its ter
minus into North Carolina. Should then
there be no power to change the gauge OF the
Pi: dmont line the Baltimore road cannot
70 through to Charlotte on four-foot eight
ard a half inch gauge.
As things stand we should prefer to see
the North Carolina roads changed to five
foot gauge, so that our communication upon
hat gauge will be unbroken to the Gulf.
lut to be wise and practical We must accom-
3hodate ourselves to the situation, and take |
that course which will best protect us. We
repeat, that if the Baltimoreans get By Dan
vile on the four-foot and half gauge then
we must have that gauge from Richmond to
Danvile, OF we shall lose a good part Of the
very best and most promising trade that we
have.

Mr. Editor !: Let the Legislature at once
repeal the 9Th section of chapter 81 of the
Code, which gives railroad companies, under
u vote Of two-thirds Of their stockholders in
general meeting, the right to make branch
roads or lateral srorks not exceeding ten
miles.
This section was incorporated in the gene
ral railroad law for the benefit of Virginia
interests and Virginia roads, but the time
has now arrived, and the circumstances now
conspire, when it will enable outside corpo-
trations, working against Virginia interests
and Virginia cities, under the operation of
this provision, to inflict irreparable injury to
both, and should, therefore, be repealed at
once. -...... +
It is to be hoped that the able chairman
OF the Senate Committee on Roads, Judge
Critcher, will at once call the attention Of
his committee to this provision which will
enable Garrett to carry out his declared
purposes to extend his road from Danyille
