Two would-be dime novel heroes
conceived the idea of running away
from their parents at Louisville and
going to Alabama to find adventure.
One ofthem was put into a trunk as
the baggage Of the other. Before he
had gone many miles, he was COM
PEELED to cry out for assistance, to
keep from being suffocated. The bag
gage Master was badly scared By the
voice from the trunk, but the boy was
released from his rerilsus situation.

STATUS OF THE VIRGINIA MIDLAND ROAD-UN-
DINE AT THE 1HgATRE-DANylLLE TRADE
FIGURES FOR THE WEEK.
Correspondence OF the Richmond DispaichI
APRIL 3. 1880.
There is in the Pitsylvania Tribune IT the
| I'd instant long and interesting letter from
Colonel W. Il. sims, a. 10 The status OF the
Virginia Midland railroad and the stock OF
the county therein, and the policy The c0un-
ty land bv implication Danville and Lynch
burg should pursue. He says blow at the
new company Is Il blow al the extension. In
talking his morning with one of the leading
and most clear-beaded businessmen here.
who is himself private stakeholder, found
that he Is decidedly of the opinion that this
county and The CITY should enter into the
new arrangement, by which they are 10 get
81 OF the new stock for 50 Of the old, and
should cooperate with the new company in
effectpg ire extension into North Carolina.
He thinks, however, that the proposed eX-
tension will not begin at Chatham, and that
il should not. | note that Colonel Sims
says: al believe that The count, OF PitiSy-
vagia Is aDXlOus to secure u road through
the southern and wesi ern part Of the coun
", and if the sale is eiftcIed to the new
company capitalists are ready to take hold
OF the North Carolina extension"

Auditor MASSEY 10 trying to distinguish
hlmsef a. the champion Readjuster and
enemy Of coupons. He has directed that
coupous shall no, be received for 50 mnc''
q any Individuals taxes as will 20 Into the
school fund-about one 9th part. Tbs
order viii not iniure the bondholders at all,
or even annoy them, 50 far as we can sec.
The coupons maturing annually amount
now. thanks to the McCuLLocH bib
"a somewhat less than sl,2o0,000. The
taxes OF ali sorts amounts TO nearly u
mot ouiie twice as much. The school
fund and the coupons together absorb
less than si,70o,o0o Of the States re- e
nue. So that taerc will be a demand forF dth
counops II not one OF them should ! q use,
IN having the one fifth part OF tbe take
which TIE law g,ves to the pub Htc schools
Mr.. NAssEY's object, therefor .. could hav,
been only to make little <ly capital on
Of thst popular instiiut on the puelic
school sy.ten,, or to annoy the bsndboiders
or to compel the Cover no TO call an extri
session Of The Lesisls ture. The school
fund was Just as safe before as now. The
HsxKsL bill allows u rec fourihs Of 1t to bt
kept Ia the cou.ttes where collected; and
Mr.. MASSEY bad y In bis power to protect
the entire fund without issuing this last
pitiful, spteiui order.
We sag the coupons will all be absorbed
by the fsxes. even though none OF them be
received for the tax that goes into the scieo
fund. Mr.. MASSEY, among bis other oo'
jests, is D oubtless trying to make the state
governw ent run short Of money, and thus
to conn rel the Governor 10 call az extra ses.
sion Of the Legislature. But we doubt that
he w Il succeed. The law gives the Gov
erBc r The power TO remove from office such
mef ldlesom busy bodies as MASSEY for
/" nisbebsvior, iGcspacity, or neglect OF
Official duty; and we would fsin hope
fthat OF two evils the Governor would choose
the lesser. IL he Is forced to choose be-
tween removing MASSEY and calling an ex-
ira session OF the Legislature, we beg him
to let AIbemarie take MASSEY back. MAS
SLY will have nobody to blame but himself.
We trust that no Conservative voter or
paper will ssd the Parson in making any
capital out Of the school fund.
