THE NEW ENTHUSIASTICALLY by this
evening the Richmond and Allegheny Rail-
road Company will have completed Its tracks
so as to make passenger connections with
the city. Yesterday a portion Of the Tired
egar wall was taken down at point about
fifty yards east OF the present end OF the
track, and the graduation completed along
the tOw.path through this gap into the
Tredegar yard TO the Tredegar CompaDy's
track. To-day, when the Allegheny rails
are laid down between the points named,
the line will be pretty well completed, so
that cars may run into the Byrd.street de-
pot.
The new company will probably not be
able TO make any permanent arrangements
for freight business until the Council meets
in the fall, when the company propose TO
ask that they be allowed 10 connect their
tracks with the basin and other adjacent
property. At present, however, they will
be compelled TO use the Byrd-SLreet Union
depot.
The friends OF the new road are now
anxiously looking for the day when the first
train will be put upon the road, but the
time has not yet been fixed.
Temporary arrangements have been made
for rolling stock, and Two locomotives have
been pun chased and orders given for others,
which will be filled as soon as the orders
already ahead can be filled.
Vice-President Parsons will be at Clifton
Forge on Friday on business connected with
the road. General Manager AXtell is in
Lynchburg or similar duty.

In 1871 the corporate limits Of Manchester
were extended. The extension embraced o
territory spsrsely settled-not containing,
probably, more than 200 persons. so but
little importance Is due to this extension.
The limits OF Lynchburg were extended
in December, 1870, after the taking OF the
census Of that year. We do not know how
that extension affects the population OF that
city.
The growth OF Richmond is shown by the
following table:

THE SECOND DIsTMCT.-The Readiuster
Convention at Norfolk yesterday on the
third ballot nominated Judge b. w. Lacy,
OF New Kent, as a candidate for Congress.
Judge Lacy's competitors were Colonel
William Lamb, mayor OF Norfolk, and
Judge ID. J. Goodwin, OF the Hastings Court
OF the same city. Hon. John Goode is the
Conservative nominee. The Republican
Convention has not yet been held. Judge
Lacy was the Speaker OF the last House OF
Delegates, and is the present judge OF the
Eighth judicial circuit, having been elected
during the last days Of the last General AS
sembly to succeed the lamented Judge Ro-
bert l.. Montague. He is a man OF fair
ability and considerable personal popularity.
He is an agreeable speaker, and will no
doubt make an active canvass. Judge Lacy
is the second circuit Judge thus far honored
with congressional nomination, the other
being that Of Judge Garrison by the Con-
servatives OF the First district last Saturday.
Judge Lacy's star has lately been in the
ascendant, and in case OF Readiuster SUI
premacy in the State he has been very promi-
nently mentioned in connection with seat
on the Supreme Bench, on which he has
long cast wistfu eve, and which is said to
be the darling object OF his life.
