Stewart,s Fortune.
IDapalch 10 The Chicago Thlnne.l.


Enough data was secured to-day TO
show that the popular estimates OF Mr.,
S,ewart's wealth, as in the case Of all very
rich men, are greatly exaggerated. Many
persons will be slow to accept the state.
ment that his property, personal and real
estate, will not exceed thirty millions, and
yet the best estimates will justify no high
er figures. On an assessment roll in the
tax Office among the real estate held by
Mr.. Stewart appears the following:
Wholesale sore, Broadway and Chambers
Metropolitan HOte VOC ,OOJ
Retail store broadway aud Tenth streets 10000
Residence, Thtrty-iOurth streets and Filth
nVenuc..."........"..." .""..".......,.... 000O0O
Workng-GIrl's Home."............".....""" $4,000
The above figures, OF course, represent
the assessed value Of the property mem
toned. In addition, Mr.. Stewart owned
considerable real estate leased to tenants,
who paid the taxes, and consequently it
did not appear on the tax record in his
name, but this is estimated not more than
S550,00O. The assessed value OF all Of
Mr.. Stewards real estate foots up little
over S0'O0O,0 900, upon which he paid tax
last year Of Sls6,000. Property in this
city is supposed to be assessed at two:
thirds OF it's market value, which would
make Mr.. Stewards real estate worth
about SS,000,000.

The TuscARAwAs VALLEY RAILROAD.
An informal conference took place at
the st. James Hotel last night between
Seth Chamberlain, DR.. Streator, and
other parties, representing this road, and
a number OF our leading citizens on both
sides Of the river. The object OF the con.
ference was to talk over the present con-
dition and prospects Of the road as regards
its extension this way from Urichsyille.
It's present terminus. The road TO that
point is doing well. 1t is paying cx-
penses and earning interest on $4,000, 900
OF bonded Indebtedness. The project, as
is we'll known, Is to extend it,
via Flushing, to this point, but,
preliminary to SO doing, its present man.
gers ask subscription Of S5OO0OO-and
the right OF way. On the basis Of such a
subscription and such grant, they think
they can bond the fifty miles at mil
lion and half, and with this and tho
subscription finish and stock the road 10
this point. This would make the whole
capital and bonded debt OF the road
about six millions, or say $4,000 per
mile.
The people along the line OF the road
have manifested great deal OF interest
in securing its completion. Something
like 100000 in one shape and an.
other has been pledged to ii between
Urichsville and Bridgeport. Two hundred
thousand more is wanted. Whether it
can be obtained in these times OF dullness
and depression is the question. The road
will traverse an exceedingly desirable sec.
ton OF Ohio when iinished-a section rich
in agricultural and mineral weuIth-aud
should become an important avenue Of
local trade between this city and all
points along its line.

THE Co1oRED CONVENTION AT NASH
ynLE.-so far as we have seen, the pro
ceedings Of this body at Nashville las
week did not amount to much. Wewer'
at a loss before hand TO see what could bt
done, and we are at loss now to tell
what has been done. The position oi the
colored race in the South does not admit
Of settlement, nor even lerceptiOle
change, at the hands OF Convention Oh
their race Their status is, in the main,
already unalterabIy fixed by their nece''
silios. Their ignorance and their poverty
have much to DO with this status. Until
these two drawbacks are surmounted
TO something like general extent,
the race cannot possibly take any
higher position than they now occupy,
The white race is the poSscssor Of the in
tcIIigence and the property Of the South,
,nd must and should be the governing
element. The duty they owe to the col
ored people, and the duty we all owe to
them, is to see that they receive full pro.
lection in the exercise Of their rights.
They must be thoroughly shielded by the
law from every vestige Of oppressive dis.
elimination, and this is substantially the
case now. There are many exceptions OF
course at various places in the South.
The disposition OF the whites is,
in too many instances, to ignore
the rights OF the negro and treat him as n
political inferior. Seeing that he is
really their intellectual inferior, ,--seeing
how childish and improvident he is
seeing how unreliable he is as a laborer,
they cannot bring themselves to tolerate
his political equality, and still less to
permit him to exercise potent voice
in the destinies Of the State. This feeling
Of the white race in the south is alto
gcther natural. The only thing to do is
to hold it under proper control and
give the negro all the chance to rise that
the nature OF the case will admit OF.
The negro race in the South, that is the
leaders Of them, have IN idea that they
are entitled to much more than they have
received in the way Of political and
social recognition. And to this end they
call conventions to set forth their griev'
auces and demand redress. Underlying
their calls are the personal and political
schemes OF such fellows as Pinchback.
We must look out for them. The carpet
baggers aud the negro politicians OF the
South are suspicious characters as a rule
Those who know them best are not filled
with admiration. 1t snot to the interest
Of the negro race to give them their ear
to any great extent, but TO rely on the
Justice Of the government, as in the past
for proper protection, and give their
principal attentionto the every day work
that appertains to the proper support
and education Of their.families.

also whether the Union Pacific Railroad
Company has not forfeited its charter,

THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL.
In the evening session, the first para
graph that provoked any discussion in
the legislative appropriation bill was one
appropriating $780, 900 for detecting and
furnishing evidence OF violations Ot the
internal revenue laws.
Mr.. Hill moved to strike out the ap-
preparation, and after nm animated dis
cussion the motion was rejected.
The item for the Bureau Of Statistics
was the next stumbling block. After
some discussion on it the Committee rose
in order TO have the discussion closed,
and then as the members on the Republic
can side could not get ten minutes longer
for discussion they insisted that the bust.
ness should not proceed in the absence OF
a quorum. Without making any further
progress in the bill the House adjourned.
