TIE Southern railroad, that large white
elephant in the hands OF Cincinnati
tramps heavily upon the conscience OF
that enterprising community. The city
is already bonded for ten million dollars
to build the road, but that is not sufii-
cient, and bill is before the Ohio Legis-
laturc asking authority to get six million
dollars more in the same way. The Com
mercial rouses the city to the present stu
alton in these words

so expended, that il the work is stopped
with the exhaustion Of the fund, 1t will
not be Of any value to Cincinnati what

millions is unconditional and immediate

while the delay continues, our outlay in,

equal $1,000"
A few Of the wealthy people OF Gin
cinnuti are said to favor the new subsidy
others think that it will raise taxes so
high as to drive manufacturers away to
smaller towns, and large number insist
that the road be sold as it is for what it
will bring and that Cincinnati pocket the
loss with its experience and quit.

THE TWEED MYSTERY-GENEaAr. SUR
PRISE THAT 80 TRACE OF Him HAS BEEN Dis
CovEREp.-Neariy four months have elapsed
since William NJ. Tweed disappeared, and
no trustworthy information as to his hiding
place has been received by the authorities.
In speaking OF his escape people remarked
that it seemed almost an impoSsiblity to hide
such an immense person so that his place OF
conccalment would not be discovered easily.
1t is stated that it was a difficult feat for him
TO step into carriage. and that it would be
impossible for him to run or even walk for
any considerable distance without becoming
utterly exhausted. II Tweed had gone to q
foreign port which is not included in the
cxtraditon treaties with this country, some
one. it is believed. would have recognized
him there and sent word to this city. The
fact that he has not been seen nor positively
heard from as living in or passing through
any other State or country. has influenced a
! great many persons to believe that Tweed
never left this city, but is now concealed in
some secure place, where he has every want
! supplied. and is seryedb by faithful attendants
who would guard his secret with their lives.
! Superintendent Walling says that he be-
! lieves that Tweed is living somewhere IN
! Canada. Nevertheless, the superintendent
admits Tweed may still be concealed in this
city.-Ne,o York Tribune.

MEETING OF THE NEW BOARD OF VISITORS.
Correspondence OF The Richmond Dispatch
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, April 10, 1876.
Al the meeting OF the new Board OF
Visitors OF the University held last night
Mr.. Stuart was elected rector. Messrs.
Stuart, Bocock, and Randolph were consti-
tutcd the Executive Committee. Rector
kcan, OF the former Board, was present by
request.
The special business OF the meeting, for
which the action of the Miller board last
week had prepared the way, was OF most
interesting and gratifying character, being
the acceptance OF the muniflcent donation
OF a gentleman OF Rochester, n. Y, through
Professor Henry A, Ward, OF that city.
This gift is q fiilly-appointed cabinet, In
Guiding mincralogy, geology, and zoology,
to be made complete by Mr.. Ward at cost
Of twenty-cight thousand dollars. This col
lection is expected to be one OF the most
finely appointed OF its kind in any OF the
higher educational institutions OF our coun-
try. To this gift, splendid in itself, the
donor has added building at a cost of
twenty-five thousand dollars, to stand in a
prominent position on the University
grounds in full view OF Monticello. The
building and cabinet will be completed be-
fore commencement-day, June 20, 1877.
This liberal benefactor declines to permit
his name to be made known in connection
with this magnificent gift. IL.
