Correspondence Of the Richmond DispatchI
May 81, 1879.
Colonel Fl. C.. Derrick was appointed
chief engineer Of the Danvile and New
River railroad at meeting OF the directors
held here yesterday. 1t has been arranged
that he and President Anderson, OF the
Dan-Valley and Yadkin.Riyer railroad,
shall start out from Danyille on a tour Of
observation within the next week, and that
Colonel Derrick shall soon afterwards enter
upon a survey OF the route. 1t seems agreed,
as I believe / have once or twice reported,
that the two roads shall have one track
in common for some distance out from Dan
ville-this with the view Of making as much
as possible of the $4,000 which DanVlIe
has promised for each OF the roads. You
know Colonel Derrick. He was one Of the
builders OF the Richmond and Danville rail
road, was captain Of engineers under Gene
raj Lee. and was chief of engineers under
the Khedive Of Egypt, with, think, the
rank OF acknowledgements. In the latter
days he has written some interesting letters
for the Dispatch under the name OF BAH
ister," and once he floored the Daily Ora
phic On an Interpretation OF prophecy and
subjects pertaining to that discussion.

CArITAL PUNISHMENT.-By vote OF 191,-
197 to 177,263 the people OF Switzerland
have declared the restoration Of capital
punishment to be necessity. Thus has it
again been proved that our ancestors knew
what they were about when they prescribed
that punishment for the most heinous OF
crimes. 1t is said that iuries are 10th to
bring in verdict Of guilty when the pen
atty OF the crime is death. But this objec-
tion would apply as we'll to Imprisonment
for life If this were the highest punishment
known to the law. Juries would then be
Just rs reluctant to be the means OF
inflictng that punishment. Whatever is
the highest penalty is what iuries will
finch before inflicting. II even lmprison'
ment for life is to be kept up as the highes,
punishment practically, then theoretically
the law ought to provide that hanging shall
be such highest punishment. Juries don'i
mind sending criminal to the penitentiary
for life so long as they can console them
selves by thinking that they might have
hanged him.

by DR.. David Steel, went down to him

,rhe Kinney Case.

Very much to our our surprise, the Sh Y !.
cage Standard, leading organ OF the s Bass.
tist denomination, takes sides with Judge
HuaHss in his opinion In the ceieofat ts q
KINNEY case. 1t devotes more than CO s
,urnn to the subject, oae-third OF tue CO.
lnma consisting Of an extract from the
opiaion. Wequoie a few Of The Stts''dardS $
remarks: b. ..,
q Y . s,,,,rosa that most citizens, whether
!, whites or blacks. do not took upon such
1 unions with any sort OF favor. They are
upna,ural and repulsiye, and always TO? be
discouraged, even In States where they are
legal"
the United States Supreme Court. Bit ~
can hardly be doubted what the decision OF
that court will be. Similar statutes nave
been passed by other States, Indiana amons
the number. Quite a number OF arrests
have followed this decision, and there seems
to be a determination TO enforce the ia"
wherever it exists. Whatever may pc Inc
decision or the Supreme Court ana the con.
yiclions OF people as to tbs .propfiety OF
such marriages, it. would certainly pc the
wiser co.lrse for everybody to waiC lor tne
question to be definitely settled before RISK
earding so PLAIN statutory prohibition"
In another place, the Standard says it is
@a careiul!y.reasoned opinion. AS to
Judge HUGHEs's discussion OF the point
that the fourteenth amendment forbids such
laws as the Virginia statute, the Standard
says that .sthis part OF the decision is Sc
clear, and it is SO important that it. be
uuurougnry understood, that we quote at
some length from it,
1t is good sign when northern church
papers can look at question like this in the
clear sunlight OF truth. There is in the
Virginia law absolutely no discrimination
against any person on account OF race or
color. The negro who denounces that law
thereby proves that he considers himself OF
an inferior race. No white man complains
that he is not permitted to. marry negro
woman. Why not? Because he considers
the negro not his equal. The negro man
who complains OF the law confesses that he
considers the white race superior to his
own. There can be no other reason. II he
thought it would bea degradation for him to
marry white woman he would certainly
MT claim that privilege. This is just what
lie white man thinks OF such unions, and
So be never dreams OF complaining because
he IS not allowed to degrade himself. If a
ne. 70 really considers his own race equal
10 he white race, he cannot possibly find
any hing to object to in a law which forbids
q "! tie man from marrying negress and
black man from marrying white woman.
There is a perfect equality Of rights be-
twecl the two races so far as this law is
concerned.

JACOB LOEILLARD'S SUIT-WHAT THE DEFENCE
HAVE TO SAY IN RETURN TO COMPLAINT.
II the matter OF the application to dis
solve the Philadelphia and New York Steam
Navigation Company, Of which William L.
and Thomas Clyde and Jacob Lorillard arc
the principal stockholders, the affidayits
OF the defence state that he snit iS
brought by Jacob Lorilard for the
purpose OF nsing certain technical
objections to promote unjust purposes
and to obtain the power OF the At
torney-Geucral to accomplish his private
ends, and that the counsel in the case are
The private counsel OF said Lo1iiiard, and
are paid by him, and are acting solely to
promote his individual purposes and inter-
csts. and not for the interests OF the public.
That no creditor OF the company has any
complaint or cause OF complaint. That the
company has paid and is paying all just
claims against it, and owes nothing but
small bills current.
The allegation OF insolvency made in the
complaint is totally denied by the defence.
The defence allegc that before the forma-
lion OF the company both the CYdes and
Lorilard had been running rival lines Of
steamers, and the latter had in every way
possible endeavored to prejudice the other
party, and the present suit is instituted in
the same spirit. The defence aIle@e that
the complainant, he believed, had received
due notice OF all meetings against the pro-
cccdings of which the plaintiff now OBJ
jects.

ments in many cases opposed each to the
