MAerlSspqnG AND PoroMAo RAILROAD.

MARTINsBuRG AND PoroMAC RAILROAD.
The annual meeting of stockholders of the
Martinsburg aud Potomac Railroad Company
took place in Martinsburg, on Wednesday
week. President Kennedy asked permission
to make brief statement of the financial con-
ditiou of the company. He said it had been
estimated by the Engineer of the Cumberland
Valley Railroad that it would require $780,
600 under the last contract to complete the
road, but the road had now been finished, and
all must coucede it to be first class road, and
the costs, including depots and telegraphic
line, had amounted to but about S14O, OQ0.-
The receipts from the road had been fair aud
encouraging from the 10th of September,
when it was opened, until the first of Novem-
Der; but the trade in November and Decem>
Der has shared in that loss and depression
which were common to all other railroads over
the country. The meeting then proceeded to
the election of President and nine directors,
when the following named persons ware unau>
imOus4y elected Thomas B. Kennedy, Pres
ident. Dircctors-from Pennsylvania, Daniel
O. Gehr, John Stewart, o. N. Lull, VIM. L.
Chambers Frederick Watts; from West Vir-
GINA, Charles J Faulkner, f. S. Troxell, J.

SOUTHERN CHURCuMAN AND REV DIR.
LATANE.-The Southern CAurcAmum, the
organ Of the Episcopal church of Virginia,
publishes Mr.. Latane's letter and discusses
the reasons he gives for Withdrawing from the
Episcopal church, and whilst conccdng the
talents and VIRTUES of Mr.. Latane, combats all
his propositions but at the same time declares
that If the Episcopal general convention,
which meets in October next, does nothing
''to put end at once aud forever to the
scandal of ritualism, then it will be time to
take stand which is decided and which no
one can possibly misunderstood" Under the
Episcopal canuons it requires six months
before Mr.. Latane's resignation takes effect,
and the Ch"rchman says if he connects linn
self with no other ecclesiastical body the
bishop Of the diocese intends in the meantime
to consider him clergyman ofthe Episcopal
church.

FCOLoRED VOTERS.

The New York Tribune, though !
a Republican paper and one that
has done morsf for the negro &c
than any other in Auaer;cn. u cspa
bic of 70 king At the negroy votes
With an eye undistortea BY partisan
zeal. Its views are highly correct.
and until some break is made in the
solid negro vote Ct the South, it
should be watched as dahgereus
element in the hands of designing
men. The Tribune says: ~
AS long as the negro veto. IN the
South is cast old, Or nearly so,
there is no reason to expect any
anelioration OF the condition of,
politics in that section. While this
vast mass Of voting material remains
in the compact state which ever
since the war has made it the OBJ
| iectivc point of every adventurer in
search Of office, there is no reason
to hope for that intelligent discus
sion and watchful criticism which
are the only salvation of political
life in democratic gnyernments.-
The vote has hitherto been too
manageable. 1t has been sort OF
patent right in the hands of the
carpet baggers. and has been work>
ed without Infringement and with
results which are too we'll known.
1t is against public Interests that
this monopoly should continue. If
the aims and processes Of the Re-
publican leaders i'll tie South were
far better than they are, it would
still be bad thing for the Southern
States and for the country, for the
African race to support one party
>oldiy against the other. The al
most undivided support of the Irish
in this city is source If endless
danger and corruption to the Demo
cratic party, VII ch almost sets oil
he nnquestionabie advantages OF
the major'ties tA2y give. 1t is to"
plain for argument that It is morally
a great injury to political party
TO receive year fer year the unam-
lmous and unreAsonIng support OF a
certain race or nationality. The
; temptation is two>fold. Tue lead
ers, thus intrenchei by votes which
? are moved by mere partisan ma
chinery, lose their Wholesome regard
OF pubic opinion, and only seek tt
prrpetupte their hold upon power
by c,rrupting and buying a certain
number OF the local polItcl1ns oI
the race on which they rely. They
not onIy grow dishonest themselves
