rge True VIEW. The Norfolk Ledger
has the following practical remarks:
FOR the next three months the contest
flor Governor, Legislature, &c.,] cannot be
begnn without great detrlment to The peo'
NE jn the country. This is equally true Of
ihe cities, where building and improve
men;s arc going on. Let Us, therefore
complete our local organizations, when
NAV be done without excitement; seiecl
delegates to the State Convention; ana
when. we are ready TO 60 into the canvass
lei there be union Of sentiment ana actlon
fitting the important issues involved. lhiS
is the only way that the threatened EVIL can
be ayerted and glorious victory won:
1T often happens that those most mpa'
tiept 10 begin a campaign soonest tire OF the
woIk. For good reason, our Convention
meets late IN The summer. and we can Dlde
our time aud wait with patience Tor future
developments"
These considerations are worthy OF atten'
ton. We have not presented them our
selves. but we must conc2de that they are
rot iTifing.

The Wing pleads Nj Debet. Very well.
Ucre * your bond for thousand dollars.
CAL the witnesses. The Legislature OF
1871 lesti6es that it passed the law. The
CAPITOL officers testify that the bonds were
issued and signed by them-ihe States own
agents. The Governor tesiIiies that he
found that the money was owing, and so
signed the funding bill Of 1871. The SD
preme Court OF Appeals tcsiifes that it
thoroughly Investigated The matter and de-
ciGed The debt to be due, the bond TO be in
proper form, and that the money was owing.
WIZ. can follow but syerdict for the plain
ti1's
And every bond stands on the same
footing.

1t is known that Mr. Huntington few
weeks AGO made a tour OF inspection over
tbe projected line Of :he Memphis, Paducah
and Northern railway, with view OF pur-
chasing the road a. a part OF grand trunk
line from Memphis TO the Atlantic. lie has
coutrol of the road running from Hunting
ton, on the Chesapeake and Ohio, to Lex
iucton. Ky., and the road from Eliz Ibeth-
town to Paducah. IL is eighty miles from
Lexington to ElZabethtown. When this
pap il completed, aud the gap between
Coyington and Trimble station, in Teu-
nessee. there will be a continuous line from
Memphis to tidewater at Newport News, on
the Chesapeake bay, distance Of about one
thousand miles. The Avalanche is reliably
informed that Mr.. Huntington has had in
contemplation one OF two terminal points
for this important trunk lne-one at Cairo
and one at Memphis. He prefers Memphis
as the terminal point. provided he can Sc
cure from the taxing district govern
ment suitable terminal facilities. Gene
raj EcboIs, one OF his directors and CONT
dental friend, is now in Memphis repre-
senting Mr. Huntington in an effort to Sc
cure these facilities, and il he is successful
the purchase of the Memphis and Paducah
road will be effected before the lst OF Nay,
and this trunk line will be completed at an
early day. 1t will require large concessions
on the part OF the taxing district in order
to enable so long line OF railway to con-
duet its immense traffic, and the gentle
men OF the Board will doubtless prove
equal TO the demands OF the occasion.
Mr.. Huntington asks no subscription from
the city or the country, or contributions
from our citizens. He wants elbow
room only TO handle the commerce OF the
road This enterprise indicates great
future for Memphis. Ii Is known that Mr..
Huntington and his associates control eX-
tensiye lines Of railway through Texas,
California, Oregon, and other western State
and Territories, many OF them completed and
others in process OF construction. IL l.
therefore plain that this line from Memphis
to Chesapeake bay once in operation, tb'
western connections logically follow. Th'
Memphis aud jefferson road will then be
come a great fact. Memphis will not onl.
have direct rail connection with Southern
Texas Ad Mexico, but with the Pi cihc an
San Francisco.

MalIOtie's Men.

ctauntOn Spectators %OlH'J
The meeting at the courthouse on yester'
day had been heraded and advertised as a
grand mass meeting OF the Readiusterr
party OF Augusta county for the purpose OF
electing delegates to the 2d-of-June Con.
ventlon. We have, we believe, attended
every Readjuster meeting that has been held
in Staunton since such party nomiualism
has been known in Virginia, and yet we
have never, even in the incipiency OF the
party, seen such small gathering as
met on yesterday. Heretofore, whilst
the followers OF Malone have always
been in hopeless minority. they
have always succeeded in bringing to-
geiher, IL not large, yet an enthusiastic
gathering; but on yesterday, as far as We
could gather from the votes cast, there were
not over fifteen persons who acknowledged
themselves as participating in the "mass'
meeting" 1t seems that the Resdluster
Democrats of Augusta cannot stomach the
Republican tendencies OF Malone, and as one
OF the staunchest Of Readiusters remarked
In the courthouse yesterday =" am good
Reddjuster, bat not Republican Read.
juSter $50 1t is with u large majority OF
those who followed Malone last year, re.
garding him as a Democrat they cannot
follow him into the Republican party.

ENDLESS CABLES FOR STREET-CARs.- The
project of propelling Chicago street-cars by
means OF endless cables has received an i'm
peius from the visit of Superintendent
Holmes to San Francisco, whittier be went
for the purpose Of examining the system as
II Is there employed. He has returned en-
Enthusiastically In favor Of adopting 1t in
Chicago, and a preliminary trial will soon
be made. Without doubt 1t will cost more
to propel street-cars In this way in Chicago
than II costs in San Francisco, owing to
heavy SHOWS and freezing weather, compel
ling larger outlay to keep the cables in free
working order, but Mr.. Holmes does not
anticipate any serious obstacle from this
cause,
