WHEN the Atlantic, Mississippi Il
Ohio Railroad became bankrupt under
Mahone's administration the laboring
men and employees Of the road had not
received their wages for months, and
they have never been paid up to this
time-and there is no prospect fer
them ever 10 receive their wages in
full. Mahene has received every cent
Of his salary of twenty-five thousand
dollars a year which accrued before tie
road went into the hands Of receiver,
and IS now claiming twenty-five thous-
and dollars year during the time the
road was in the hands of the receiver,
for over four years. The employees Of
the road and their fan i'll 8 were gre al
sufferers as a matter of course. John
w. Daniel, who was then the member
OF the Virginia Senate from the city Of
Lynchburg, determined that the labor
ing men OF the Stale should never be
subjected to such an outrage again
and accordingly he introduced into the
Senate on the 18th day OF December
1876, (see Senate Journal 1860 bill

employees, of canal, steamboat, a1d
other corporations. That Bill was pass

doubt about their being able to deliver

he will be able to deliver about two.

"HOnOr Won't Buy q Break

w 1luN lille, Ocpl, IL loo L,
We have heard rumors several
times heretofore that Capt. F. S,
Blair h ad denied that he ever used
the expression Honor won't buy
a break fast While the denial
was only based on rumor we did
not feel called upon to affirm tie
truth OF the report which charged
him with having used the language
attributed to him by us, but within
the past week we have seen the
charge denied in the Richmond WHO
WytheviIle Dispatch, and in
printed circular posted in public
places, and we feel called upon to
speak in order that the public may
not be deceived, and in order to
vindicate ourselves. In the month
of August, 1879, in joint discus
sion at Taezwell Courthouse lie
tween Colonel R. E. Withers and
John w. Daniel on one side, and
Capt. Blair Gen. Malone, and John
E. Massey on the other, Capt. Blair
who opened the discussion, in the
course of his speech said: "They

Galveston News.
Capt. Classou, of the sloop Tom
my, plying between Clear Lake and
this city, gives the Netcs au account
of an act OF heroism by young
girl that is emineutly worthy OF
record. He says that during the
last norther a small sloop, In which
there were two men, was capsized
of Edwards Point. Both succeed
ed in getting upon the bottom OF
the boat, aud in this perilous posi-.
tion were buffeted by the wind and
the sea, and exposed to the cold
for about "a hours. One of the
men, utterly exhausted was ready
TO succumb, but his companion
bound him to the boat with a rope,
aud thus prevented his destruction.
Finally they were carried by the
waves TO within about a mile OF
the shore, when they were seen
through sypglass BY MISS Evans,
a 16 year.old daughter of a gentle
man residing at the Lawrence place
on the bay shore, between Edwards
point and the mouth OF Clear creek.
The brave girl, realizing their i'm.
minent peril, and knowing that
there was no one OIL the place to go
to their rescue, herself launched u
frail skiff and set out to aid them.
With such sea as was running,
this would have been hazardous
undertaking for D strong man, but
the little heroine was not daunted
by danger. Pulling through the
billows until exhausted, she would
drop her anchor, rest,and, hosting
her weights, would start anew. In
| this manner she slowly worked heI
way to the men, whom she relieved
from their dangerous situation, and
safely conveyed to land, attending
to their wants, aud gently caring
for them at her fathers house.
