fraud at this precinct is established, aud the
vote thrown out, Johnson will lose his cleo
ton. Full county returns are still light, hut
enough has been received To show that the

ierially changed. Caroline county elects
Swami, conservative, and S. j. White. indie
endent, for the house Culpeper county
elects Hall, Independent, over Strother, con-
Servative. HenricO county elects fallen, re-

The same county, has but one majority, I'M
ofhclal. In Augusta county, Hon. A. II. II.
Stuart was run for the house as an indepen-
dent, against his wishes, and is probably
elected. The official count is needed to de-

Minister to the Court Of St. James-Mr.

capitalists. andliGgation, costly and prolix, Is
likely to ensue. We see that Professor
SiLLlMAN, Of Yale College, is entapgled in the
matter. One OF the defendants On q suit has
sworn that the Professor was not guilty OF
the charge Of selling his opinions. hpt his re-.
port on the mine had its weight in the trans.

BsnaaKABuE xSD GooD.-Under the in
junction of the Superior Court of OsnnectI-
cut the principal, railway Of that State was
prohibited from issuing free passes to Gov
erpmcnt officials. The first cases under it
were those of General GRANT, Ficc-Presi-
dent WILSON, four members of the Cabinet
and several lesser dignitaries. 1t could not
have happened better. They all bad to pay
and were none the worse for it, while the
railroad funds were happily increased.
Talk of cheap transportation! Stop dead
headism, and freigbts could he lowered.
That is the way to cheaper transportation.
Vast is the sum that escapes from the rail-
road treasury by this dead.head business;
and the railways have to make it up By sad
ding the commerce aud the industry Of the

lessen the freights on produce.
