RICHMOND. Jan. 2i.-Tbo indications arc
that tic so called Baltimore and Cincinnati Rail-
read will not get through Virginia. The Com.
rli.ce on Roads in the Senate Teens to have
accd over hastily in reporting this bill. For
tic las! three years The Legislature Of Virginia
has been very cautious in dealing with railroad
hi!ls-inttc, sire, Malone got such sic,
from the State 10 the shape Of railroad, our
legislators have been moro oareful-thati is pre-
vious Legislatures. Of course no one can tell
what this Legislature will do. For instance, if
Mahono were to command the majority to vote
for this railroed bill tho bill would be passed.
There vas smile all over the hall of the
House yesterday when Mr.. Fairs letter to
Judge Stuart was read. in which Farr menli,n.
Cd that &c had seen Mahone. and Mahone
was favorable" And some of the Mahoneites
WINGED, toe, when the namc Of the man who
ruDs thi N YVES read. 1t manifested this fact
that Mrhono's sly settled tho question of the
county Judges. It is undo rstood that Malone
has promised Farr his in6uorc, to help him to
get to Congress.
The stc,ud c!ucus nomiLee fer tho position
OF judgo of Albemarle appears to be as bad as

to dag by MIR. Duke and others it seems that
The election is pretty mrci equivalent to elect
log Pnrvis himself, as Taylor is bis intimate
friend, The bargain bad been made between
them that if PurVis got the judgsship Taylor's
son should be made instructor 10 tho Miller
Scheol. 1t cannot DO wondered that Mr.. Duke
made an earaest speech against this election. for
| tho judge of AlbemarIe has the control of The
| Miller Manual Labor School and the disbursc-
ment OF $45 .000 year belonging to that fund.
Perhaps the most whitening sarcasm on the
| sel;c ion OF Judges by tho rsscjuster5 comes
from Mr.. Taylor, their newly elected Judge of
Albemarlc, woo, when be heard Of Lis ucmina.
