President Chester \. Arthur so far has
been marked with wisdom, patriotism, and

Mr.. BURCUINAL moved to lay the resolu-

a FEAT IN RAILR0AD-BUMDING.-Thc
completion OF the New York, Chicago and
st. Louis road. the " nickel-plate," sig
nalizes the most remarkable feat ever ac-
complished in misunderstanding. This
road, $40 miles long, extending from Buff
ialo to Chicago, has been built since May 1,
1881, the organization OF the company
dating from the April preceding. The
company was organized simultaneously in
the States of New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana. and Illinois.
The syndicate originally subscribed and
paid I'm SI5,OO0,0O0. Subsequently an adj
dltional subscription OF s1,OOO,oOO was
taken, increasing the cash subscription to
S22, O0O, 900. The company has since issued
SOS, DOC. 900 OF common and S22,OOO,0O0 oil
preferred stock, and Slj,OQO,OOO OF first
mortgage bonds. The actual cost OF the
road, including equipment-the greater
portion Of which is built by the Pullman
Commands stated to be between S25,-
OOO. COO and SIS, 100000. This Is not far
from $4,000 per mile. The stock and
bond OBLIGATION. however, Is $4,000 per
mile. At Q per cent. the annual interest
obligation is $3.50 per mile. The con-
tract price OF the equipment Is said to be
between ss,OOO,O 900 and So,0oO,Oo0. The
construction of these $40 miles OF road i
an instance OF unexampled dispatch. Al
times the trackIaying has been at the rate Of
four miles per day.

TIE NINTH DISTRICT SOLID FOR TIE DE-
MOCRACY--DEMOCRATI RrDJCSTERS OF THE
SOUTHWEST WILL NOT BE LED Ky MALONE.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.l
BRISTOL. GOODSON, September -. 1882.
Ii the Malone Arthur Radical-Cotlition
party is retrOgTading (aS | trust il iS) in
other parts OF the State in the same ratio
Is il has done in the Ninth congressional
district OF Virginia for the past few weeks,
| really begin to think that it will scarcely
poll a larger vote this fall than it did with
Mahone's spurious Hancock ticket in 1880
3l.0O0 in the entire state.
The speaking OF Massey. Fukerson, and
Ncwberry through the district, together
with the very able, fearless, sharp, and ill.,
cissiye exposition Of the little General and
his followers by the Dispatch, then the
powerful and truthful eTpOSE made through
your paper by Colonel Frank G.. Runin
has produced quite revolution all through
Southwest Virginia, and | would not be
surprised il the Ninth district should give
quite as large Il majority for Massey and
Democracy this fall as il did last November
for Cameron.
General Malone, as you very truly said
few days ago. never had any personal
popularity in Southwest Virginia but As the
leader perforce. He never was entitled TO
the leadership Of the Reddiuster party Cat
least in this part OF the State; Colonel Full
kerson was the man that deserved in. As
is his habit, he usurped the leadership, and
the people OF this sectional majority Of
whom were Readiu>ters-did support him
and his party. But the debt question be-
ing now finally settled, so far as legislation
is concerned, and it being patent TO the
most obtuse vision that to follow General
Malone further will lead them right into
the Radical camp. the people--or a very
large majority Of them-who were former
ly Readiusters, but white men and Demo-
Gratis, now have Il clear conception of the
selfish and corrupt intentions OF Malone,
and the base purposes for which he intend
ed to Use them, and are leaving him as rats
leave Il sinking ship.
You need have no fears Of a Coalitionist
or Radical Qor that is the right name for
them beng elected TO Congress from the
Ninth district. Fulkerson, Newberry, or
Trigg will be the epresentative-not Mr..
Bowen, OF Tazewell. BORDER.

Yesterday that in Philadelphia the Demo-

"a announce that on Wednesday last United

o; the First division OF the Fourth Ward,
charged with illegally registering votes.
Instead OF protecting the ballot-boX the
villains had caused to be registered the
names OF numerous persons not entitled to
vote at all.
The fact is, however, that the superyi-
sors aforesaid exceeded their powers.
They have nothing to do with hunting up
voters. Their only duty is to attend at the
places OF registration and voting to see that
none but lawful voters are registered OF
allowed to vote. So far rs we know, there
has never been any complaint OF the unfair
ness of any of the Federal supervisors here

KNEW THE MAN.-It is worthy of men,

that tried the Star-route criminals, was de-
scribed as follows in the New York Times,
in Washington letter dated June 9th:

challenge in his case occurred at once to
every friend Of the Government here. Was
it stupidity, or what, that he was not chal-

among our steady businessmen, who do
not prey on the Government was not Sc

Georgia's United States Senator

IL is stated that b. ii. HILL, Jr., has de.
clared that he does not wish to be appoint
ed by Governor CoLoUITT to serve out hi,
fathers unexpired term in the United
States Senate. Governor CoLoUIrr has no
right TO appoint anybody to ill this vacant
seat. The Legislature OF Georgia will
meet ON the LIST OF November, more than a
month before the United States Senate will
assemble. The latter would, OF course,
seat the senator elected by the Legislature
and ignore the one appointed by the Gov.
crnor. Perhaps Mr.. b. ii. HILL, Jr., had
all this in mind when he declined the post.

Why Malone Must Fnil.

10 the EdltOr0J inc DtSput"'
Colonel Rufiin never uttered finer thing
in all his life than when he told Malone he
could never become leader OF the Viz
cinia people because Of the narrowneSS OF
his political methods. The Colonel proba-
Div had in view a profound observation OF
General Trochce, who, upon the eve of the
late Franco German war, informed Louis
Napoleon that his military system was i'll
ferior to that OF the Emperor William;
that in the organization CT the army he re-
lied too much upon the physical support
OF his troops. and too little upon the moral
support OF the French people. In ether
words, General Trochec might have said
with great truth that in all warfare. whether
military or political, the moral force counts
with or against the physical as two counts
with or against one.
But Napoleon was too much absorbed by
, schemes OF personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT to
heed the warning OF Trochee. lie ran
upon his fate with his eyes open, just Is his
uncle before HIM did when he equipped his
Grande ArmGe for the chastsemcnt OF Rus
sia. General Malone, in smaller held,
takes as little account Of the moral forces
that are working for his ruin. Government
pap, party discipline, ample moneys, and
what not, are barely sufficient OF them
selves to gain victory for his party. he
needs the moral backing OF the people. lie
needs the countenancc Of the Independent
press OF the country, and the sympathy Of
one or the other Of the two great parties
which contend for the succession OF the Ma
tional Government. But he has none OF
these. His cause is like TO perish before 1t
can be brought to the arbitrament OF bat
te-so many Of his captains deserving, so
many OF his privates hanging back, his
whole army of spoilSmen and dupeS strlck-
en- with panic, and he, like another Rich
ard, left alone, as it were, to hew his way
up to the centre OF our charging squad
