RAILROAD GRANTS,
Proposed New Transatlantic Line BE.
tween Newfoundland and Ireland.

ST. JOHNS, n. F., May 10.-Saturday night
the House of Commons of Newfoundland
passed an act incorporating the Great Ameri-
can and European Railway Company. Large
and important concessions are made TO the
company. They are to receive from the New
foundland government 5000 acres Of select
crown land for every mile of railroad they
construct; they are conceded an exclusive
monopoly of the country for railroad pur-
poses for a term of forty-five years, and they
are to enjoy during that time an immunity
from taxation all material required
for the purposes of railway construction.
The question proposed by the representative
of the syndicate of an annual subsidy to the
company or an Endorsement of their roadbed
bonds to the extent of 100000 has been
left to the constituencies, as the current term
is the last of the existing Legislature and
general election takes place in the ensuing
autumn. The new railway syndicate, which
is composed of New York and London capt.
talists, contains, among others, the names of
William Bond, Norvin Green, Frank w.
Allin, Domingo Vasquez, Albert L. Black
man, Golden Y. Hobbs, John M. Walton and
il. OConnor. The object of the company
is to establish more rapid, safe and certain
communication between America and Eu-
rope across the Island OF Newfoundland than
at present exists. The outline of the scheme
is the construction of railroad from the
most eastern point of the Newfoundland
coast across the island to Cape Ray. This
western terminus will connect by steam ferry
with the railway to be constructed from
Cape North over the Island of Cape Breton
to the Straits of Canso, the straits to be crossed
by ferry. The line will traverse the north
shore of Nova Scotia and form a junction
with the Intercolonial railway, from which
connections will be effected with The rail
ways communicating with Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Montreal, Chicago, st. Louis
and San Francisco. From the east shore
of Newfoundland the company will establish
a line, consisting of ten powerful and
swift dispatch steamships, TO connect with
the west coast of Ireland, and thence by fast
express trains with London and all continental
cities The minimum saving of time between
London and New York is estimated at forty
eight hours. The whole sea voyage is reduced
TO 100 miles between these great commercial
centers, and the dangerous coast, thousand
miles in extent, lying between Cape Race
and New York-the grave of numerous
ocean steamers and sailing ships-is COM
pletely avoided. The company anticipate
carrying annually across the Atlantic by this
short line not less than 100000 passengers.
They are also sanguine that they viii SO
largely facilitate as to completely absorb
the transportation of the mails of the
governments of America, Europe and Asia.
The work of construction is to be proceeded
with Immediately.

The Guiteau Case.

WASHINGTON, May I1.-Argument on the
bill of exceptions in the Guiteau case was
resumed this morning, and Colonel Corkhill
opened for the prosecution. After detailing
the circumstances of the shooting he passed
on to the question of jurisdiction, and pro-
nounced as absurd the position taken, that
because President Garfield was not allowed
to remain in Washington and die, therefore
the court has no jurisdiction. Colonel Cork
hill discussed this question at considerable
length. He quoted the decision of the Su-
preme Court of Tennessee, which held that
the offense was committed at the place of the
blow, though the death occurred elsewhere.
He argued that the evidence admitted for
the prosecution to rebut the defense OF in
sanity was competent and properly admitted
that it was justifable in rebuttal for the
prosecution to go to any length in showing
that the acts of the defendant, which had
been offered as evidence of insanity, were
rather the product of immortality. Counsel
discussed at some length the exception TO
the evidence of Mrs. Dunmore, Guiteau's
former wife, claiming that the domain of
confidential communications between hus-
band and wife had not been invaded by the
prosecution.
At the conclusion of Colonel Corkhill's
address Mr.. DAvidge Immediately began
closing the argument for the prosecution, ad-
dressing himself to the question of jurisdic-
ton.
The court adjourned before Davidge con-
cluaed his argument.

LARGE COTTON FACTORY
To lie Started at weldon, N. a., by Sem
at0rs Malone and Cameron.

RALEIGH, n. G, May 11.-Senators Don
Cameron and William Malone have decided
to invest in real estate and water-power at
Weldon, in this State, for the purpose of
erecting works for the building Of railroad
cars of every description, and for spinning
cotton. Many years ago the State took
stock in the Roanoke Navigation Company,
and aided in digging canal from Weldon
to CASTOR, distance Of twelve miles. By
this canal il was intended to avoid the shoals
and rocks at Weldon and CASTOR, and take
boats up and down the canal to deep water
at CASTOR. Like all investments of the kind
in which the State engaged, this company
soon ceased to operate the canal for the pas
sage of boats, and since the war it has been
used to carry portion of Roanoke river 10
Weldon to run two corn and wheat mills
With little expense the entire volume of
water in the river can be turned at CASTOR
into this canal. The fall from CASTOR to
Weldon is so great that mills and factories
can be erected in close proximity without
ever being interfered with by high water.
This is the most powerful water-power
in the State. Weldon is at the junction of
the Raleigh and CASTOR, the Wilmington
and Weldon, the Seaboard aud Roanoke,
and the Petersburg railroads, and has more
advantages for m tnufacturing purposes than
Lynn, Mass. More spindes can be operated
IN weldon Dy means Oh luis wafer power
than are in existence in all the New En-
gland States. Each of the railroads runs
through large coiton-producing country,
so that all the cotton needed can be brought
to the factory door in the raw state, should
car-works be erected. The four railroads run
through land heavily timbered. This prop
erty, by order of the Supreme Court, is 10
be sold very soon to the highest bidder. 1t
was sold few weeks ago, and the sale was
set aside and a resale ordered. 1t is under
stood that Senators Csmeron and Malone
have decided to buy the properly, and that
extensive car-works will be Immediately put
up, and that large cotton factory will also
be erected at Weldon. The canal will be
cleaned out, and dam will be thrown across
the river at CASTOR high enough to turn the
river into the canal. Water privileges from
Weldon 20 CASTOR will be purchasable, Sd
that the canal may be lined with mills and
factories.

star-Rouic Prosecutions.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE government
has not found John w. Dorsey, but warrants
have been issued for him and placed in the
hands of government officers. Texas, Yer
mont, New York and District OF Columbia
detectives and other officers have been in
structed to spare no effort which may lead to
his ,arssa..-rL redeIl case is still before
the grand jury. / indictments which have
been found thus Tar are against the Dorsey
party, and the cases are of such nature that
the trial must be long one. The govern
ment intends to secure the indictment within
short time OF other persons connected with
the Star-route frauds, and Mr.. Merrick says
that the cases will be brief, compact and
complete, so that they can be quickly tried.
Very little has been SAID about the iudict-
ment of Vale and Sanderson. These men
were indicted with the two Dorseys, Minor
Peck and IredslI. Wales connection with
the Dorsey party was described several
months ago. He was not one OF the
orig nal members of the combination, but
came in some time after the contract
term began, when the original members
needed the assis ance of a practical mail
carrier. Mr.. SaDderson is supposed to have
no direct connec. ion with the schemes of the
Dorsey plrty, but be came into the posses
sion of some of their routes by ans of
sub-contracts. He is the head of the con-
tracing firm Of j. L. S1nderson 6 Co., which
succeeded the firm of Barlow & Sanderson,
and was therefore identified with another
Stsr-route group. For many years he has
been well known as a manager of stage lines.
When Bradley Barlow, king of the conlrac-
tors, retired from business, some of his ser
vice fell to Sanderson & Co. Neither Vale
nor Sanderson can be held by the indict-
ments found against them. Neither OF them
have been arrested. The indictments against
them are defective for the same reason that
the Iredell and Armstrong indictments were
defective Mr.. Vale was indicted az Henry
NJ. Vale, but his christian name is Harvey.
Mr.. Sanderson was indicted as j. L. Sander
son. His christian name is Joseph, and the
indictment would be quashed in accordance
with the decision in the Iredell case.
