Ches. and Ohio Railroad from Richmond to
Covingtou Liable to State Taxation.

The Court OF Appeals in session in Rich
nlond OH Thursday last rendered decision
that the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad from
Richmond to Ccvington is liable to State tax
alton. The following is an abstract Of that
opinion
Commonwealth rs. Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company -four casesl-From the
Circuit c07rt Of the city Of Richmond. These
suits were brought to impose unon the compa-
ny the penalt~s prescribed for failure to make
the Returns Of property, &C.. required under
the various fax bills for several years past
The court below held that the company was
exempt from taxations that therefore the COM
pany was not rigitfilJy required to make the
returns demanded, and Was, consequently, not
liable to the fines sought TO be imposed. The
Court Of AppeaIs-Judye Anderson delivering
the opnion-reyersed the court and eld that
so much of the real and | ersopal property ri
the company, with a fair property Of rolling
stock, lis lies east Of Coyingion is rot exempt
from taxation, and that this property IL liable
to the income tax imposed by the Legislature.
The property from Covinston westward to the
Ohio river was exempted from tixati ty .lie
act OF 1873 until its receipts reach ten per cent.
of the capital stock OF the line from C0vington
westward to the Ohio. At that time the Vir-
ginia Central became the owner OF the Cow
ngton and Ohio railroad, the terms of the
contract only continued the exemption of the
Covington and Ohio road and did not extend
the exemption to the Virginia Central. There
is only about sixteen miles of the read in Vir-
ginia west Of tovngton. The Court also held
that the tax on the bonds of the company is
good rs to resident holders. but not rs to hol-
ders d0ncicd in Dther States or countries,
and that the State has the right to require the
company to collect this tax and pay it over to
the State when the reports, prescribed are
made. 1t is said that the cases will be al,-
pealed to the United States Supreme Court.

We are not much given to bcastins OF the

the ''29'' mentioned by our co.emporary were

the part Of the people Of the energy and news
paper talent displayed in the Findicator. We
hope they were all additions. And while we
cannot state that so many have been added 10

been entered upon our books within the past

THE LEW ISES OF AUGUSTA. A wr ter in
the Richmond Wing, signing himself VIM.
Nee. Montague, and claiming to be a deseen-
dant of the Lewises, after referring to the
inscription on the tomb of John Lewis, on the
McGnffin farm. two miles east OF this city, re
latcs the circumstances under which his anccs-
tor came TO America. lie says that John Lew
is lived in the North Of Ireland, and married
Margaret Lynn, the daughter of the Laird of
Loeb Lynn. He rented u large landed estate
of nohleman; the nobleman became tired OF
his bargain and came with small body Of
armed men to drive Lewis away. He made
all sorts of threats and endeavored to frigllten
him. Failing in this and seeing about twenty
of Lewis domestics (who were devoted to
hin) coming to his assistance, the nobleman
became so much eXasp rated that he fired at
Lewis, but missed HIM and wounded a sick
sister as she lay in her bed. Then it was that
he took down his sword, rushed upon the Lord
and slew him.
L. was death to the man that killed noble
man, but through the assistance Of friends
Lewis cvalrd his pllrsuers. and escaped to
America. This happened during the reign of
George III, and after full investigations his
Majesty sclit John Lewis Il pardon and grant
of two thousand acres of land in Augusta
county, Colony of Virginia. The writer nev-
err knew where the family Of Lewses located
this grant, but is lie TO believe from the in
scription on the grave stone, that it was about
where Staunton now stands.

THE NARROW GAUGE.-rhe Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore San furnish
es the following in reference to the Narrow
Gauge Railroad, now being constructed from
Harrisonburs to North River Gap, in Augusta
county, and which is designed ultimately TO
correct the sea-board with the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Vallies:
Representative Jones recently made re-
port FROM the Committee on Railways and Ca
nails on the bill TO authorize the Washington
Cincinnati and ST. I.ouis Railroad Company to
Construct q narrow gauge railway from tide
water TO the cities OF St Louis and Chicago
The Committee consider it policy to favor All
experiment on large scale, like this proposed
line, which will test the importance OF cheap
transrol tation. especially as the projectors
propose to invest their own means.
The Washington, Cincinnati and St. Louis
Railroad Company was chartered BY the Cen
eral Assembly of Virginia, May Is, 1872, with
a capital Of $l5000,0C0, and organized June
II, 1872. In 1873, Sixty-tive miles were put
under contract. and the committee are inform
cd that the work is progressing. The road
runs through Il county as yet poorly supplied
with railroad facilities, and the consequent
wait OF employment for all manufactures and
all labor connected with that industry, would
Scent to recommend the policy of encouraging
and faye!lng all s,,ch enterprises of real merit
and substantial promise.

THE CONTESTED WILL CASE.-The case of
Sandy Washington vs.. Samuel H. Lushbaugli,
which engaged the attention of the Circuit
Court for three days last week was one of
special interest. The court room was pretty
well filled during the progress of the trial, and
the gallery crowded. The facts of the case as
developed by the testimony were substantial
ly these: About eight years ago, a negro girl
came to the residence OF Mr.. Samuel Ii. L.sll-
baugl, in search of employment. She was en-
gagged by Mrs. Lashbaugh, and remained in
the capacity Of servant up to her death. The
girl had formerly teen the slave of Mr. Will
liam Carroll, an old resident of this city, who,
at his dealt. beqneatlled her Il legacy of about
$1,000. After HE death Of Mr.. Carroll the
girl WAS taken care of by Thomas Campbell,
one of the most respectable colored men in the
city. and she remained with him for several
years. during which time, Campbell testified,
size required to be watched continually, as
she was regarded of u,lsou,id mind, and scarce
ly able to take care of herself. So troublesome
did she become that Campbell was forced 10
get rid of her, and he therefore sent her away
and she went into the employ Of Mrs. Lush
baugh as stated. In July last the girl died,
leaving her property to Mrs. Luslibaugh for
whom she manifested the greatest affection.
and by whom she was treated with the great
est kindness.
A brother of the deceased tried to nyalidate
the will on the ground of unsoundness of
mind, and great many witnesses were exam
ined. Among them W. re some of our most
prominent citizens and several ladies' The
white witnesses testified generally to the san-
ty OF the deceased, and her entire competency
to make Il will, whilst the blacks regarded
her as crazy. though as she had not associated
with any of her color for eight years, they had
aad little opportunity nf judging. The evil
dence was Overwhelming in support of the
tcstatriX' ability to execute y will.
A resume of the case was ably presented
and opening argument made by Mr.. Richard
Bell, for Lushbaush, and Messrs. d. and A.
II. Fultz, represented the contestant The
case was closed by Major Ii. NJ. Bell, for Lush
baugh, and the jury brought in verdict SITS
tanning the validity of the will.
