THERE have been many reports
afoat in relation to the sale and
transfer of the c. & o. II. Il. to the
Baltimore and Ohio X. r. and they
have in many instances been believed,
but they are entirely unworthy OF
credence. The Baltimore q Ohio
K. r. fears the C. & 0. more than
any other road in existence fears
its effect on their trade, and its com
petition in prices; consequently, its
efforts, ever since the road has been
built, have been directed to Gripping
it. Mr.. Garrett, and his friends,
have not been at all serupulous in
the use Of means, and the ingenious
reports in circulation, originate with
the friends and officers Of the B. 4
0. r. r.; they are a part of their pol
icy. Ii is stated in the article going
the rounds of the press, copied from
the y. Y. Tribune, that the B. & 0.
Il. Il Is prepared to purchase the c.
& o. Road, at a price that will pro,
tect the 1st mortgage bond-holders ;
that is they are prepared to give fit
teen million dollars, for what has
cost thirty-fve millions truly q won
derful stretch of generosity.
The Baltimore Company would
doubtless be glad to getour road, but
they cannot do so, unless the stock
holders are prepared to sacrifice all
their stock, and let a foreign compa-
ny gobble up, without any equivalent,
one of the best roads, and what will
eventually be the best paying freight
and passenger road in the United
States.
The same power will do fifty per
cent more work on the c. & 0. r. Il.
than on B. & 0. r. Il.
The curves are fewer and easier,
the grades are lower, and there are
less of them on the c. IL O. Road ;
there are more sharp curves on the
B. & 0. r. Il. between Grafton and
Wheeling, about 100 miles, than
there are on the 420 miles of the c.
so. r. r between Richmond and
the Ohio river.
The Coal and Iron along the G. &
0. r. Il. will develop much more
rapidly than that along the B. & O.
r. r. being OF much greater value,
consequently the local trade of the
road will of itself, be a paying income
in a few years.
Every consideration of reason in
railroad policy would teach that the
stockholders of the c. & 0. r. r.
who We know are personally able to
pay the whole of the Indebtedness OF
the road, viii not sacrifice thirty five
millions of dollars to save fifteen
millions.

SALT Rock, W. VA, April l0.-The in

The damage is reported to be consdera-

a great many from protecting their prop

great deal Of valuable timber was swept
away, and will prove an utter loss. The

The Remington Sewing Machines are
RAPIDLY becoming general favorites and
gaining favor in every household where

sought after by probably every Sewing
Machine Company in the land, has been
obtained in our Machines that is, an
even, round, bird's-eye stitch on all kinds
of goods, coarse or fine, without the use
of Cog Wheel Gears, Rotary Cams or
Levers, working silent and smooth while
in motion, is positive proof that it will
continue to run well for years without e1-

The Question In Louisiana.
the Editor of the Dallas Herald

To the Editor of the Dallas Herald
Amid the engrossing cares of every
day-life, there are very few who realize
the fact that the government under
which we live is in a transition state.
1t is matter of grave concern 10 us
all, what shape or form it will ulti-
mately assume. The original union of
the states was u confederation formed
by sovereign independent states for
NATURAL interest aud protection. One
of the most important features of the
constitution, then adopted, was the
section providing that the several
states should regulate aud administer
their internal affairs without any in
terference 10y the general government.
The strength of this feeling of state
sovereignty was SHOWN by an incident
which occurred during the administra-
ton of Washington, who, in making
u northern tour visit to Boston, the
governor OF Massa ,husetts declined to
call on the president, contending that,
as governor of the state and the repre-
sentative of its sovel eighty, that it was
proper etiquette that the president
should make the first call, and it was
Win uiliieui!y lhet he was induced to
pursue uiliereht course.

Loss the Weigh, of cotton.

The New Circumstances contains the
following on the subject of loss In
weight of cotton, about which there
seems to he complaint IN all the south
crn ports:
From the protracted drouth and IA
vorablc picking weather II might hive
been reasonably expected that there
would have been little shrinkngc In the
weight of the baled cotton; and that,
ON the contrary, If placed In humid
atmosphere, its weight would rather
increase ,hun diminish. In eXccp-
ton0l eases, we understand, such has
been the fact, but in many Others there
has been serious falling oil IN weight,
in II very short period, which cannot
be accounted for either from excessive
samping or inaccurate weighing. In
one instance, in particular, the weight
of - bales on the 18th Instant was To-
Ago pounds, while the same lot on the
! Nth, weighed ON the same scales, was
only l0,iOS pounds, showing II falling
OIL of 5S pounds.
Now, even If we allow eight pounds
for the second sampling, which Is actu-
ully cNCcSslNt, tlVIc 10 sui uucuNlNhNy
of 80 pounds. The attention of the
supervisor was called to the NATTER
but MS there was satisfactory evidence
that there had been no fraudulent alb
stractions, nor any excessive sampling,
his duty in the premises had been full
filled, and he could furnish no satslac-
ton to the owner. The conclusion
arrived at was that the cotton had
actually sbrunk So pounds, or two and
one-half pounds per bale. Without
explanation, the planter or country
merchant might hastily jump to the
conclusion that an average of fully two
and one-fourth pounds per bale had
been distracted from it in its handling,
and ms rashly conclude that it was done
10y the factor or his employees 1t is
thus, in fact, that the trade of New Or
leans has been held responsible for
losses in which they We're in no way
concerned, and that odium has been
excited against our factors and brokers
for which there was no real foundation.

A MASS meeting of the people OF
Memphis was called at the Greenaw
opera house, OH Tuesday night last, for
the purpose of memorializing Presi-
dent Grant to remove the federal
troops that were recently sent there.
The feeling was that the object of this
military demonstration was to intimi-
date the voters of Shelby county, and
affect the election in the interest OF
Barbour Lewis. While the Appeal
urges the people to attend, and hopes
that q manly and dignified protest
against the presence of troops will be
sent to the White House, 1t yet has
very little hopes of the object of the
meeting being accomplished. 1t says:
We do not know that a petition from
this people will avail anything with a
president who can be manipulated 10y
u corrupt and malevolent attorney
general, and who can be driven to do
violence to his oath of Office by carpet
bag adventures. We doubt, In view
of his recent almost ins0lent answer TO
our governor, representing the sover
eighty of the whole state, that Grant
will listen to anything we may say as
against the calls of the federal officers,
whose every effort is to keep Barbour
Lewis In congress, but since many of
our leading citizens will II, we second
the endeavoI. aud hope the opera house
will be crowded.

It's very hard matter to get any

IT'S y very hard matter to get any
thing authoritative as to Grants views
about third term. A short time ago
Robson, secretary Of the navy, stated
in speech that no such thought was
entertained by the president AS that
of being u candidate for reelection.
Now comes Belknap, secretary of war,
and says that Robson had no authori-
ty to commit the president to any
definite line Of policy.
There is no doubt, we take 1t, that
Grant Graves reelection and will be a
candidate, if he sees any chance to Sc
cure the prize. And we don't blame
him. He doesn't seem to be fit for
anything else, except to command an
army in the field, and there is no open
ing for his talent in that line.
