Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, d. G., May 8. 1870.
The Baltimore Sun Of this morning
has the following:
1.-THE Democratic members OF the
two Houses were again in separate
"caucus yesterday discussing the sit
"uation and exchanging views as to
1.-THE character Of the legislation of a
political nature which is to be
drought forward. Nothing occurred
(which is likely to make any change
''in the programme which lie that the
sixth section of the Army bill would
"now be passed In an amended form
''as separate measure, but there are
"yet matters Of detail TO be resolved
upon. II Is understood that some of
"the Democratic members will take
ian opportunity to learn the private
"views OF the President within the
"next day or two."
This Is the truth as to caucus action.
1t Is, unfortunately. true as TO the In
tention OF 'some of the Democratic
members" They will visit Mr..
Hayes. They will be deceived as Of
ten as they visit him. There are Dem
ocrats who will not learn.
There has been an attempt to rev.
oncile differences between the two
projected Southern Pacific railroads,
and yesterday Senator Johnston Of
Virginia introduced bill on the sub
ject. 1t authorizes the Texas and Pa
cifc Railway Co. to extend Its lines
from It's present western terminus,
FL Paso, there to unite with the South
ern Pacific Railroad Co. Lands grant
ed to the foimer are transferred to
and invested In the latter, extending
along its portion Of road. Each COM
pany is required to complete Its road
within Q years. Provision is also
made for other railroads TO unite with
other roads at III Paso, the object be.
Ing to form complete lines TO the Pa
cific from the Gulf and South Allan.
tic States.
Senator Edmunds objected-o
course he did--and the bill went to q
Committee. II any one thing Is fair
In morals and for the benefit OF the
whole country, II is that the Federal
Government should extend to some
Southern trenscontinental railroad the
aid necessary to its construction. -
Probably one-tenth Of the money ac-
.nally voted to the Northern roads
would be sufficient.
Yesterday there was informal con-
Blderation by the Senate of the right
Of Kellogg, Of Louisiana TO a seat In
that body. The subject came up by
reason Of request OF Senator Sauls-
bury, Chairman OF the Committee on
Elections, that the Committee be au-
thorlzed 10 take testimony In the case.
| hope to announce next week that
the case Ia under consideration and,
later In the season, that Judge Stat

JOHN COX.

We are satisfied that Bro. Fowler
thought Capt. Dotson's statement true
and intended no reflection upon Scott
county. and we think no will give all
parties interested Justice,
Since our last Issue. we learn from n
reliable source, that John Cox was
coming from still.house owned by
his brother-in-law accompanied by
his two brothers, whom they were or
dered to halt, the command being fol
lowed by the shot that killed him.
The question Is, did these officers
have the right, admitting that John
Cox was q "moonshlner,n to murder
him, even had he offered TO resist p
Ia the death penalty to DO inflicted be-
cause Of violation OF tho Revenue
Law-by making few gallons Of

Suppose John Cox had killed one OF

the Federal Court, by negro Jury,
convicted Of murder, and would be
hung. The law governing tho one
case must necessarily govern the
other. .i.Itf I|fI.fIl|I

The Ghsta Is mistaken in assuming
what 1--WE thought as to the truth Of
anybody's statement. We expressed
no opinion at oil. We merely gave

Hon. A. H. Stephens, in a recent
interview with a Herald reporter, got
off this good thing, and we doubt if
Ben Franklin or Josh Billings could
have said a better one:
Courage is a great virtue, 1t is that
from which springs the highest excel
lence Of human nature and human
attainment; but the truest and grand
est of all courage Is that spirit which
enables a man to act in accordance
with his own codvictions of duty
without being controlled by the opin-
ions of others, whether In public or
private life.

THE N. G. r. r.


The necessity Of a connecting line of
Railroad between the tide-watcr cities of
Virginia and the fertile vallics Of the
West has long been felt, but unavolda-
bic circumstances have TO this time pre-
vented its completion. Virginia has
long cherished aud persisted In the de-
sign TO unite her system Of railways with
that Of her oldest daughter, the State Of
Kentucky. The prophetic eye of WISH
ington saw the advantage 10 his native
state, n hundred years ago. of opening
up n great highway to the West, and
since his day, the idea In different forms
has never been abandoned. In IA short
time after Virginia began to develop her
system Of Railroads, the necessity Of
connecting her system with the railroads
and navlgable rivers of the Wost, by
way Of Cumberland Gap, began 10 be
urged. AS Ear back as March, 1882 the
legislature authorized "tho Virginia and
Tennessee railroad company to extend
their road from at or near Bristol 10
Cumberland Gap, and at the same time
provided the said Virginia and Tennessee
Railroad company did not acccpt the
provisions Of said charter at or before
the second annual meeting of their stock
holders" Under the provisions Of this
Act the Virginia and Kentucky Railroad
company was formed aud In earnest they
commenced work on their road before
the war, The war only arrested their
work after the work OF grading

Beet Sugar in New England.

The experiment which . company is
Eaking in the production of beet sugar
is one of general importance. Last year,
as our readers are well aware, the ex-
pertinent vas tried on . small scale and
proved Satisfactory. The farmers along
the lines of the railroads found that
the beets at the prices paid would pay
moderately. and the company at Port
land found no difficulty in making good
sugar from them. This year the com-
pany has entered upon the enterprise
with vigor. Early in the season . suf-
fcient number of acres of the root we're
arranged for to run the works at Port
land to their full capacity. Seed has
been planted in three States, Maine,
New Hampshire and Massachusetts,. 1t
is stated that the return of the business
VA 30 promising that . better price for
the raw material is paid this year than
last. Those who have given most at
tention TO the matter in Maine are conf
dent of success, and confidently predict
that the production of beet sugar is an
industry which win give agriculture in
New England . new impetus and open
. new field Of profitable investment
