he Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and
the West. Virginia Legislature.

The select committee of the West
Virginia Legislature have made beth
majority and minority reports on the
matters submitted at the last session OF
that Legislature touching the relations
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to
the people of the State. Both reports,
while claiming that the company has
not strictly abded by the laws of 1887
and lS47 regulating charges for freight
and passengers, &C., are couched in a
temperate and cOnciliatory spirit, adj
uniting that such great and radical
changes have taken place in the railroad
s} stem Of the country since the dates
of those laws that literal obedience to
them would have been practically i'm
possible, and conceding that liberal
compromise upon the contrOverted
points will be the most equitable set
Element of the difficulty. Both reports
note the benefits that will accrue TO the
States commerce from the con cessions
embodied in the railroads. proposed new
schedule, and Senator Johnson, the au
thor Of the minority report, claims that
it will save the people of the State half
a million dollars annually. The Wheel.
ing Intelligencer, in commenting upon
these reports, says:
AS to the view likely to be taken
by the Legislature Of the points raised
by these reports we presume not to
predict. we incline to hope that the
Legislature will meet the company in
the new spirit of cancellation and COM
promise that it evinces. 1t is the part
of craftsmanship to recognize such an
overture. Nothing need be conceded as
a matter of principle affecting the con-
struction Of the laws referred to. The |
principle can be held in reserve as
protection when needed. 1t is well 10
have a reserve of that sort. The peo-
pie can be better trusted with reserve
than can any railroad. We seem TO
have the Baltimore and Ohio at an ad-
vantage just now, but let US be careful
how we avail ourselves OF it. The Bal
timorc and Ohio road gives more evil
dence now than at any previous time in
It's history Of desire te be on friendly
terms with the people of West Virginia
Let US meet the company in the same
spirit"

Governor Mathews OF West Virginia
recommends a settlement of West Yir.
ginia's portion Of the public debt of
Old Virginia. This sounds well. But
when he discusses the basis of settle
ment, il looks like he finds honesty to
be the best policy. He presents two
plans Of settlement. By the first, which
Is based upon the amount Of money
expended within the bounds of West
Virginia, he asccrtains the endebted.
ness to be less than one million dollars.
By the second plan Of adjustment. he
brings the present State OF Virginia in
debt to West Virginia in the sum of
$4,000. AState with an endebted
ness Of about thirty millions was divid
ed. About One-thrd the territory is en-
braced within the new State. This new
State has desire to keep up her credit
and is determined 10 do the fair thinc

The message oF Gov. Marks ofTenn.,
to the Legislature says the payment OF
no part Of the State debt can be renew
ed until there shall be an adjustment Of
OF it on such basis as will bring the debt
within the ability Of the taxpayers to
meet it. The Governor maintains that
each branch Of the debt should stand
upon its own merits and be adjusted
accordingly. He says the confusion OF
the just debt Of the State with the cues
tionable and fraudulent debt has result
cd disastrously 10 her interest and repu-
tatlOn. There has never been a time
when the State was not able and will
ing to pay the interest upon her just IN

has been made impossible. He asks
tina: legislative committee make an
investigation into the facts connected
with the debt, and any arrangement
should be submitted TO the people for
their ratification Or rejection.

The Cheyenne Fugiiiyes-A Conference
with Red Cloud.

FORT ROBINSON, NEB., Jan. lS.-A
conference was held here between Red
Cloud and Lieut.. Schuyler, of Gen.
Crooks staff, on the propriety ofLieut.
Dodd going to Red Clouds new location
to enlist fifteent Sioux warriors to assist
in recaptunng the little band of Chey-
enncs now corraled at Crow Ridge, 80
miles distant. The chief, in very
grave tone Of voice and without raising
his eyes from the ground, SAID: My
people are sad at heart since their breth-
rem were killed here moons ago. They
are very angry with the whites, and |
am nearly certain will not assist them. ,
Lieut.. Schuyler, in as few words as pos
sible, gave him an account of the Chey-
enne outbreak, how the Cheyennes fired
upon the soldiers, in fleeing from their
prison room, killing them. and sad in
trying to punish the Cheyenne bucks
the squaws were accidentally killed.
Lieut.. Schuyler finally got the old chief
to say: ~ Dung chief ( Lieut.. Dodd) can
90 to my camp and tell my son-in-law,
Young-m an-afraid-of his-horse, that it
is my wlsh that he would try to get
some Of my warriors TO help the govern
ment in capturing the Chcy cnnes."
Lieut.. Dodd. who is well known to Red
Clouds braves, started Immediately ior

what success we will soon learn. Red
Cloud requested that all the women and
children, now widows and orphans, held
as prisoners, being related to the O.al-
lalas, be turned over to them rs their
protectors. The request was telegraph.
cd to Washington, and the Secretaries
of the Interior and War have agreed to
grant the request. 1t is believed this
action will have q beneficial effect.

The action having been taken it is

for any good from the conference since
the proceedings Of the meetings which
the creditors have held among them
