The report here in railroad circles to
the effect that General Malone has in
written communication demanded the re-
moval OF certain well-known officials OF
the Norfolk and Western railroad, ana
threatening the company's interests In case
of noncompliance, Is exciting general
criticism; and the popular expression is
that the proper thing to be done is for some
one OF the gentlemen whose removal Is
sought to be effected to procure rawhidc
and Ito employ the terse phrase Of General
Wise) "cut the shirt" from the back OF
this prince OF presumptive traitors. 1t Is
reported that the offence Of one OF the gen.
tlemen whose removal Is desired by Ma
hone consists in his having exclaimed in
the hearing OF an informer that the Read
ulster party had few, II any, gentlemen
among the leaders, and that none OF them
could boast drop OF blue blood. This, |
positively know, is nothing more than a
report, and entirely contrary to the we'll
known reputation OF the gentleman in
question for courtesy toward political OPP
ponents; but there seems to be little doubt
but that Malone has made the demand
above referred to.
Colonel A. III. Lcftwich went to one Of
the newspaper offices last evening for the
purpose Of announcing himself an indie
pendent candidate for mayor; but after re-
questIng and receiving the friendly advice
OF the editors determined to devote his at
tention exclusively to bis large tobacco in
terests, and altogether eschew politics. His
card OF declination is published to-day.
Work was commenced to-day on the new
