The Canal Railroad.

House bill 76, to authorize the James Riv-
er and Kanawha Company to sell its works
property, and franchises to the Richmond
and Allegheny Railroad Company, was re-
turned by the House to the Senate o-day
The House agreed to allof the thirty three
amendments OF the Senate except the fourth
seventeenth, and thirtieth, which were
agreed to with amendments. To these
amendments, it is believed, the Senate will
agree, without discussion or delay
This bill gives 800 days within which the
contract OF purchase may be made by the
Richmond and Allegheny Railroad Com
pany. TO provide against the contingency
of this contract not being made by said COM
pany, the stockholders of the James River
and Kanawha Company desire another act
giving them the right, at the end of 40 days
to make similar arrangement with any
other corporation, person or persons. The
bill to effectuate this was presented on yes
terday in the Senate by Mr.. Johnson and
in the House by Mr.. Bocock. To-day the
Committee on Roads reported the bill, ant
it is now on the calendar of the House. The
Importance OF this subject and the lateness

The Richmond State, OF Saturday last,
published what it regards, a bill of ''great
interest to the people, styled bill to pro-
tect the interest of the sinking Fund.- in
the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad.
It provides for the appointment of a board
of trustees to be composed of Chas. B. Duf-
field, Of Norfolk city; John B. Davis, OF
Richmond Allen Watts, of Roanoke cour.
ty; Moses Walton, of Shenandoah county :;
and Floyd B. Hunt, Of Washington county
s'whose duty it shall be to take such meas
ures as may by them be deemed expedient
to protect and the better to secure the in
terest OF the ''Sinking Fund" in the said
railroad. 70 do this they are authorized by
this bill to employ the sinking FUND.- OF the
State to purchase the franchises of the rail-
road company, to hold the same and provide
for the management thereof, &c. In other
words it is a proposition for the State to
embark in railroad speculation, and vo-
late the Constitution which prohibits the
credit of the State from being loaned to any
such purpose. Wehave not the remotest idea
as to the, hidden purpose of the bill, or who
are to be the beneficiaries. There is job in it,
and the State should have nothing to do with
it. The ssSinkng FUND.- was not designed
forany such purpose, but to pay the principal
of the public debt, and to that it should be
sacredly dedicated.

The repeal of the election laws is urged
by some Democrats in the interest of State
Rights. Such gentlemen are not willing
to commit themselves to repeal measure
on the ground of party necessity. To do
so, would be to admit that 1t was the prac-
tice of Democrats, in some localities, to vio-
late the law, otherwise it would ibe inoffen-
sye as no punishment would follow when
there is no ofense. Singular enough, how
ever, some OF the same Democrats, favor the
amendment to the army bill comforting
upon the railroad companies the right to
transacta regular telegraph business. This
amendment. is in direct conflict with the
state rights pretence as to the election laws.
Certainly, if it is right to recognize ma
tional authority over the telegraph lines, it
would not be wrong to admit national con-
troll of the laws to regulate national cleo
tions. .4., ....-.--. t,,.~ .,t.,
The late war determined the question
whether this Government is nation or a
confederation of State Sovereignties. That
was the issues of the conflict, and how it
was decided is not necessary here to repeat.
The same principle is involved in the cleo
ton laws and telegraph amendments. fit
is public policy and in the interest Of good
government and tthe public welfare to
maintain the present election laws, and as
sumo regulation of telegraph negotiations,
there cannot be serious question as to the
right, in view OF the history OF the country
for the past fifteen years. n, se

Rasnmntion Assured.

In the the House of Representatives on the
22nd, the business on the Speakers table
was reached, and the first bill called up-by
Mr.. Ewing, of Oho-was that to repeal the
resumption act. The New York Herald s
correspondent at Washington, under date of
the 23rd, says:
The decisive defeat Of Mr.. Ewing's attempt
against resumption in the House yesterday has
been general topic of conversation here to-day,
and there is reason to believe, if he should try it
over again. he would be even more badly beaten.
The republicans claim the victory for sound mo-
ney as their own and the fact that they voted al
most solidIy to kill the bill justified their boast.
Thirty republicans who last session voted for the
bill to repeal the Resumption act now voted
against it, and they are now jubilant at having
committed the democrats SO completely to the
nfiation side. The democrats sore over the
matter and good many of them savagely blame
Mr. Ewing for forcing the question before the
House, and declare that they are glad he was bea-
ten, and that they are tired of his too frequent
attempts to lead them into dangerous water. But
they say this privately, and far as their votes
CO. they are, unfortunately, committed on the
wrong, and what they see is fast becoming the
unpopular side. However they may resent Mr..
Ewing's action, there is no doubt that he has done
a service to the country in forcing the House to
q vote on his measure, thus securing its defeat
by handsome majority.

Rockingham Business Men.

The business men of Rockingham are not
pleased with the result of the meeting, last
County Court day, which adopted resolu-
lions favoring the Re-adjusters Convention
and opposed the proposition of the bond
holders to settle the State debt. They do
not believe those resolutions reflect the sen.
tlment OF the county, and the merchants OF
Harrisonburg have issued card, calling upon
the citizens in the various sections of the
county: to meet at their neighborhood stores
to give expression by resolutions, to the real
views OF the people. This is a very sensi.
BILE movement and indicates that the bust
ness men of the Valley are not disposed to
higgle about sentimental notions, but will
demand practical settlement of the debt
question, upon the practical, liberal basis
offered by the .bondholders. 1t would not
be out OF place if the merchants of other
counties would show their interest in tn is
matter by following the example of the
Harrisonburg merchants. A fault of this
class OF citizens is that they do not manifest
sufficient concern in public questions until
ills too late. If they would see to it, that
in all public meetings the business interests
OF the community were properly represent
ed,ana that the politicians and their strikers
did not assume to speak for the masses. much
harm would be forestalled, and a healthier
tone be given to the legislation of the
State. 1879 Glad rdeiiis ~ sg9o-4 ..f

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Times of the 2lst says
The House to-day decided the Finley Bisbee
contest ed election in favor OF the Democratic
contestant Mr.. Finley. Messrs. Turney and
Mackey, of Pennsylvania, were the only two Dem
ocrats who voted to retain the sitting member
The contest was decided to sustain the Demo-
cratic theory that Tilden carried Florida, rather
than upon the facts and evidence submitted in
the case. Mr.. Bisbee was returned by small
majority, and the contest turned upon Archer
Precinct, No, 2, Alachua County, which figured so
conspicuously in the Presidential contest. Bis
bee proved his vote in Archer Precinct by the
testimony of the individual voters, but Finley
failed to prove his vote, depending upon the De-
mocratc majority to sustain his vague allegations
of fraud. Prior to the appointment of the Potter
committee the House Committee on Elections
were disposed to abandon this case and report in
favor of Bisbee; but, during the progress Of the
Potter investigation, it became partisan neces-
sity, in order to sustain the Democratic theory in
regard to the vote of Florida, to deprive Mr.. Bis
bee of the seat to which he was unquestionably
legally elected. Mr.. Hiscock made an able argu-
ment for Bisbee his recital of the facts, his ex-
PLANTATION of the law, and his analysis of the testi
mony making it perfectly clear that Finley had
no right whatever to the seat given him to-day.

Senator Bayard on pemoorat,c Reyolution.

The Washington correspondent Of the
tor Bayard's position on the proposition of
the Democratic House to stop the wheels OF
government, if they cannot have the Elec-
ton Law repealed, and thus open the way to
frauds at the ballot box, with impunity:
Senator Bayard is very pronounced in his op-
position to the revolutionary methods adopted
by the Democrats of the House to secure the re-
peal of certain sections of the Revised Statutes.
In conversation to day with the Times cores
pondent Senator 'Bayard said: 'It seems to me
that this would be dangerous precedent to set.
It would simply put in the hands OF the majority
of any party in the House the power to say to a
minority in the Senate. you submit to our de-
mands or the machinery of Government shall
stop. /. for one, cannot and will not lend my
self to policy which approaches so closely to
revolution. While am willing to serve my par
ty, think my first duty is to serve my country
Referring to the present attitude Of the majority
in the House, Mr.. Bayard said mo good can
come out of this contest. am as much opposed
as any to the legislation sought to be repeal
ed, but there is proper way and q proper tim e
to effect the repeal without doing violence to es-
tablished rules as well as public policy. The SEN
tlment OF the country is said to be every day
growing more apprehensive OF these political
contests, and wants harmony and good feeling,
and 1, for one, will do my best to bring it about.
This may not be policy, but it is the prompting Of
my conscience. This is not,'' continued Senator
Bayard, ''the first time a majority OF the House
has tried and failed to coerce the Senate. In 1856
the House added to the Civil and Diplomatic APP
preparation bill an entire revision of the tariff,
and threatened to let the bill fail If the Senate did
not agree thereto. Both houses were then Dem
ocratic and Mr.. Hunter, of Virginia; Mr. Benia-
min, OF Louisiana; Mr.. Dougla as, and many other
able Senators took strong ground against it, de-
nouncing the proposition in the most unqualified
terms as coercive and revolutionary. am will
ing to stand upon their judgmen and be guided
by their example. Ny father" said Senator Bay
ard, s'was in the Senate at that time, and find
that he took strong ground against the right OF
the majority in the House to force minority to
sustain its demands. He said: 81 hold that in
any parliamentary body, in any free country. 1t
is impossible long to maintain the rights OF a
minority and the rights of deiiberation, ii sys-
tenn of coercive legislation is adopted by compel
ling men to vote for measure under the penalty
of stopping the operations of the Government by
denying it necessary supplies. That is my view
of the subject now. 1t may not be possible at
present, but it will stand the test of time, and
am content to await the verdict of the sober
Judgment of the people, which is bound to come.
