The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1882-01-19
lie is a cousin to Mr.. Frazier, Of Rock

patronage was assigned to the Seventh dis
trict, and when, through the insubordina-
tion Of Mr.. Massey, there was an opening
for another man from that district, Mr.. Al
len stepped forward and got the nomina-
tion after stubborn fight.
Whoever is elected Auditor will have
ten clerks and a messenger under INN.
IL Is the belief OF some that the Read-
iusters OF the Allen wing will not be con-
tent TO give Massey week to organize,
but that to-day or tomorrow they will re-
new the effort TO go into an immediate
election.
VIRGINIA AND CAROLINA RAILROAD.
In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Walker
called up the bill TO incorporate the Vir-
ginia and Carolina Railroad Company, with
permission TO build n road from Richmond
TO the North Carolina line.
Mfr. RIddleberger, by general consent,
modified his amendment to read rs follows /:
Prorided, That no existing railroad
company in this State having or claiming
"to have n charter exemption from taxa
"tion shall become interested by subscrip-
"tion To the capital stock Of this road, or
"hayc any interest therein or have any
representation in IT, board Of directors,
charter-eXcmpton shall previously file n
"contract with the Board Of Public Works
"surrendering and releasing such charter
exemption"
Mr.. Walker opposed the amendment.
He said the railroad wanted to connect,
but not TO consolidate with any and all
railroads running out OF Richmond.
Mr.. Powell spoke in favor Of the bill
and against the amendment, which, If
adopted, he thought would kill the project.
| Mr. Glasgow followed on the same side.
Mr.. Riddleberger said the amendment
would simply prevent the Richmond and
| Fredericksburg or the Richmond and Dan
vile railroad, or any other company having
charter exemption from taxation from pur-
chasing this charter. The gentlemen who
get this charter must either build this road
or throw the charter into the fire. This
railroad will be competing line to the
Danvillc, and the Danyille Company will
buy the charter in less than twenty-four
hours, il they can, rather than see this road
built.
The amendment was rejected.
The bill was ordered 10 engrOssment.

RICHMOND AND DANvIILE.
Mr.. Diggs. i'm the senate. yesterday
moved to reconsider the vote by which the
bin authorizing the Danville railroad to
discharge its indebtedness to the State in
bonds of the state was ordered TO engross-
ment. that members may have time to eX-
anime the statement Of the Auditor in re-
sponse TO a resolution OF the Senate, which
l.. hoo
Mr.. Hurt and Mr.. Walker explained IN
brief the merits Of the bill, and opposed
reconsideration.
Mr.. Bailey could see no reason why a
railroad company whose stock Is now
nearly two for one, and which pays no tax
TO Virginia, should have this favor grant
ed it.
Mr.. Walker. replying to some remark OF
Mr.. Bailey. said that the indebtedness OF
the road was to be paid in the best bonds OF
the State.
Mr.. Hurt responded that all the company
asks is that it shall pay an Indebtedness OF
1920. 600 in the bonds OF the State. As Tor
the stock being two for one, that speaks the
praise Of that eminent PittSylvanian who
has brought the road from insolvency to It's
present condition.
Mr.. kOineT commended the management
of the company, but favored recOnsidera-
ton and careful inquiry before the bill is
passed.
NIr. Hurt informed the Senate that the
building was on fire, but that there was no
reason for alarm; and thercupon the SEN
ate adjourned.
