virginia Midland Raiiway-StOcl6-
holders, Meeting.

4 meeting OF the stockholders Of the Nir-
ginia Midland Railway Company was held
in Alexandria on Tuesday. After usual
routine business President Barbour pre-
scnted a series OF resolutions adopted by
the Board of Directors, asking from the
stockholders the authority TO issue income
bonds TO the amount OF $4,000, 600 to retire
the first and second preferred stock OF the
company and for other purposes, which
were unanimously adopted.
Mr.. Baldwin, on behalf OF the trustees,
reported that, rs authorized by the scheme
of organization, there had been issued TO
all proper claimants stock rs follows: or
the first preferred, 81, 900, 600; OF the second
preferred, S2,000,000; and OF the common
stock, $500, 900. The report was approved.
Mr.. Baldwin further stated that it had
been found impossible to prepare Il written
statement OF the financial condition OF the
road, but the trustees reported they had Is
sued S4,000,000 OF preferred stock, $500, 900
of common stock, and OF new bonds aggrc-
eating SOB, 900; that the trustees have
redeemed all the bonds presented to them
and paid all the existing obligations OF the
company. All claims, with but one eX-
ception, had been fully adjusted that
$4,000 had been passed TO the pre-
sdcnt Of the company for the redemp-
ton of bonds still out; that the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, as the banker for the
trustees, had claim OF $4,000. which
they had hoped to settle before the meet
ing, but which would be settled tomorrow,
or as soon thereafter rs possible. in man
ner which was regarded as only equitable
by giving bonds; that after the payment OF
all claims against the company there would
be remaining on hand nearly 100000,
which the trustees would turn over, after
the execution OF their trust, to the proper
parties, subject, however, to any claims
which might be presented. The trustees
would ask the Board OF Directors to APP
point a committee to audit all accounts.
President Barbour stated that he had, by
outside authority, subscribed $4,000 to
the North Carolina Midland railroad, and
requested that the meeting ratify that sub
scription made by him as president OF the
Virginia Midland Railway Company.
A resolution approving his action was
adopted.

The health officers report shows that
there were CT deaths In Petersburg during
fhe month OF November. or those VINO
died 20 were whites and Al colored, y
were males and "a females. One half OF
the whole number died under the age OF
Eve wears. No case OF contagious disease
Il reported In the city. The rate OF NOR
talify OF the whole population was BET
OF the white population 24.00, and OF the
colored population 4l.C0 per LOCO per an
mum.
The fines collected i'm the Mayors Court
this month amounted TO S20l.5O for the city
and $40 for the State, being considerably
more than necessary to meet the expenses
OF the Mayors Office for the month. In the
MAYORS Court during the month 100 cases
were disposed of-most Of them Tor Viola-
tions Of ordinances in one form or an
other. No case involving serious charge
was before the court, and this month inc
whites furnished more offenders than the
colored. Nineteen marriage-liccnses were
issued from the clerks otfice-ll to while
and TO colored couples-and 30 deeds
were admitted to record. The Commits
,ioner of Revenue assessed licenses to the
amount Of S922.7 for the city, and slS2.20
for the State.
At the last session Ct the General Assem-
bly bill passed the senate making an ap-
preparation for the erection in or near Pc
fcrsburg OF suitable buildings for the Cen
trail Lunatic Asylum. The I'LL failed in
the House at q late hour OF the session for
lack of n constitutional majority. y COM
mittee Of the General Assembly visited our
city and made examination OF the most
eli9ible sites for the institution. il j. un-
deTstood that the bill viii lie revived in the
Legislature soon TO meet, and IN effort he
made 10 secure its passage. II such should
be the case. it is probable site viii be Sc
lccted for the asylum on the suburbs OF the
city, in Prince George.
The officers and members OF the ponce
CORPS will appear this week in fine new
uniforms furnished by the Common Coun-
eli. In all respects it will be the hand
soonest uniform ever worn by the Peters
burg police.
George Royal, a very worthy eolorcd
man. was thrown from his dray on llaiiiaN

The Cano Presented 10 Major Daniel.

The presentation by the Baltimore Daniel
Club OF handsome cane to Major John
W. Daniel, which had already been an
nounced. took place on Tuesday night.
The Baltimore Sun says OF the affair:
Major Daniel is the guest OF General
Bradley Il. johnson, at his residence, cor
ner OF Maryland and North avenues, and
last night a committee from the Daniel
Club, composed OF Messrs. r. NJ. Blundon,
Willoughby n. Smith, ID. b. Taylor, and
Henry d. Beall, called upon him and pre-
scnted him with costly gold-headed cane.
In making the presentation speech Mr..
Smith referred to Major Daniel rs the rep
resentative Of the party OF honesty and in
tegrity in Virginia. Natives Of Virginia
in MARYLAND had, he said, recognized the
services Of the Major, and felt confident
that Virginia, although now stunned,
would before long receive fresh vigor and
bring back hope to all OF her sons.
Major Daniel, in replying, said that it
had touched him deeply TO know that not
only Virginians in other States but also
the people Of Maryland had taken an in
terest in the recent campaign. To him the
testimonial was something even more
worthy than office, which, unless 1t was
looked upon as something to do good to
the people, was only as sounding brass and
as tinkling cymbal. 1t was not by the hand
or act OF the people that Virginia had been
degraded, but by the corrupt and venal
forces set in motion by the great National
Government, which, by its acts, had stulti-
fled all its professions OF ciyil-seryice re-
form. Again he repeated his thanks, and
begged TO assure the committee that he
would treasure the testimonial rs q mark OF
perpetual friendship, aud hand il down as
an heirloom to his family.
The cane, which reflects credit on Balti-
more workmanship, was made by Messrs.
Hennegen, Bates & Co., OF this city. 1t is
OF the finest ebony, with a gold head In
shape OF an eagles head, the eyes being
sparkling diamonds. 1t bears the inscrip-
ton: presented TO Major John w. Da-
MEL, Champion OF Virgna's Honor, by
the Daniel Club OF Baltimore, 1881"
After the presentation the committee adj
journed TO the library OF General Johnson,
where they were Hospitality entertained in
old-fashioned Virginia style until late
hour.

Secretary BIainc Il EariT Man.

The following letter, read at the Tariff
Convention in New York on Tuesday, Is
especially interesting. aS it shows Mr..
Blaine's position on subject which ills
fair to be q most important one in the near
future OF American politics:
"DEPAETMENT OF STATE, WASHNGTON,
u. c.. November 2S.-Mr. d. 4. Houston,
Chairman, &C.: My Dear Shiny official
duties prevent my leaving Washington at
this time. | am hence deprived OF saving
some things which | would be glad 10 say i'm
your Convention il had the opportunity to
speak. In a brief note Of excuse | cannot
discuss the tariff or the shipping ques-
ton. and vet | will not omit the expression
of my belief that at no previous time OF our
country has the principle Of protection TO
American industry been so strong with the
masses OF the people as to-day. 1t was for
merly an issue somewhat determined by
latitude and longitude, but those limita-
lions have passed away, and enthusiastic
protectioniSts can now be found in Ala
bama A. well rs in Massachusetts, in Hi
noiS rs well rs i'm Pennsylvania.
.'The West and the South are Joining the
North and East in the common belief that
some manufacturers should he encouraged
and developed in every state in the Union.
wish could speak with the same conf
dence in regard to the prospects Of Ameri-
can shipping, but | confess TO some dis
couragement when see the American Min
iSter to Brazil at this moment en- route to
Rio de Janoiro, compelled to reach his post
by going first to England or France in or
der TO avail himself Of line OF steamers.
We are paying to Brazil annually more
than $40, 900, 900 in gold coin to settle the
balance OF trade against the United States.
.'Brazil in turn sends this money TO Eu-
rope to pay for commodities which we
might, i'm part at least, furnish her. Ii is
easy for the merchants Of Brazil to reach
England and France. We have never seen
the wisdom OF providing an easy mode for
the same merchandise to come to the United
States. So long as we fail to do so the
balance of trade will annually increase
against Us. 1t i idle to think Of selling
goods to a man unless you first induce him
to come into your store.
"Yours, very truly,
JAMES G.. BLAINE"

Speaking OF Mahone's proposed reSolu-
ton upon the assembling OF the Senate
directing the Committee on Finance OF the
Senate to inquire whether any State Of the
Union has repudiated, or attempted to re-
pudiate, any OF its bonded debt, and
whether any Of the trust funds invested by
the United States in State bonds have been
lost or impaired by the action Of any State,
the Charleston Is. C.) NelcS and Courier
says:
''But there is difference In the two
cases. Nobody denies that the State Of
Virginia received fun value for every dol
lar Of the debt which Malone would |read-
just while In South Carolina the greater
part OF the sixteen million OF dollars, re-
presented by the unscaled debt, was stolen
outright by Mahone's friends and admirers,
the gang Of Republican harpies who rioted
in the State-House, at Columbia, until they
were kicked out IN 1876. But apart from
this, the only Reputation Of public debt
which has ever taken place In South Caro-
lima was exclusively the work Of these
same Republican harpies, whose rascality
had created the bulk OF the debt itself.
Malone, II he be wise, will let South Caro-
lima and her debt Alone"
