RAILROAD NEWS.

Dublin had a railroad meeting Satur-
day. and Messrs. Perkins and Thomas, OF
the Wrightsville and Tennille Road, were
present. A large amount has been sub
scribed, in fact, a sufficient sum to as
sure the road. A survey has been made.
and the distance on a direct line is II
miles. The directors and stockholders of
the Dublin and Wrightsville Road will
meet the authorities of the Wrightsville
and Tennille Road on Dec. 1, in Wrights-
vile, for the purpose Of consolidating the
two roads.
The Florida Construction Company,
backed by ample capital, has signed con-
tracts, and given bond for the completion
of the Palatka and Indian River Road for
practical operation from Palatka to san
ford before June 1, 1885, and for the com
pletiOn of the Seville and Halifax Road
from Seville to DaytOna before April /,
1885. Much work has been already done
on the Palatka and Indian River Road.
A drawbridge has already been con-
structed over the st. Johns near Buffalo
Bluff, and the grade has been nearly COM
pleted between Palatka and Sanford.
Running across the Palatka and Indian
River Railroad, at nearly right angles,
with the intersection at Seville junction,
and connecting the broad waters OF Big
Lake George with the rich country along
the Halifax and about Daytona, runs the
Seville and Halifax Railroad.

An Effort Made to Bring Archbishop
PurcelPs Debts Before the Body.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 21.-The Plenary
Council resumed its secret sessions this
morning, but no intimation was given of
what was transacted. In the afternoon
there was a conference at the Cathedral,
when some DEGREES were prepared to be
voted on at the public session on Sunday.
Tonight Bishop Gross, of Savannah,
preached at the Cathedral on omissions
for COlored People," and Bishop Rade-
macher, of Nashville, at st. AlphOnsus'
Church on "CathOlic Schools-Their Ne
cessity to the Child, and Their Influence
on Society"
1t is understood that letter has been re-
ceiVed by one of the members of the coun-
ell from creditors of the late Archbishop
Purcell, of Cincinnati, asking the aid of the
council in the liquidation of their claims,
but it is said to be doubtful if the body
will take any action on a merely local
matter. On Thursday next a reception
will be given to the prelates and theolo-
gians of the council by the Catholic Be
neVOlent Legion of MARYLAND

ARTHUR HIS PARTY's ORACLE.

His Message to Sound the Keynote to
the Republican Policy of the Future.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-President Ar
thurs friends say that Blaine's Augusta
speech is not the keynote to which the
Republican party will listen and respond.
but that the President in his forthcoming
annual message will give direction to the
party's policy for the near future. They
say that the President will endeavor to
get his party on platform faVoring a re-
ductlOn OF the surplus revenues bV a re-
ductiCn of taxation and readiustment of
the customs duties. A friend of the Pres
ldent said to-day that one of Blaine's pal
pable blunders during the campaign was
the studlOus ignoring of the enormous
surplus revenue, and unnecessary taxa
tIon at time when the cur
rent of popular sentiment in both
parties favored a reduction of the
surplus by a reduction of taxation.
On an hundred occasions Blaine uttered
string OF glittering generalities in sup
port of protective tariff, but not word
did he speak in favor of tariff revision or
tax reduction. Now, said this gentle
man, while President Arthur advocates
the policy of protecting American indus
tries, he believes that many customs
duties can be reduced without injury to
those industries and thereby conierring
benefit upon the people.
Now that Blaine has been defeated,
President Arthur comes to the front as
the chief spokesman of the party, and
his friends say that his message will indi-
cate what course he thinks the Republi-
cans in Congress and the party leaders
throughout the country should pursue.
If these predictions should be realized,
the Democrats in the House would be
brought face to face with the question of
taking heed of the tax questions this
winter.

SELECTING PLACES.
Malone to Have Anthony,s Seat.

nave AnbnOnY'8 seat.
Since little Gen. Malone, of Virginia,
has had the honor of being United States
Senator, says a Washington special, he
bas had to be content with seat in the
rear row, to the left of the President,
where there has been little chance of be-
ing seen without an effort. During the
rest of his term, however, Gen. Malone
will occupy much better seat. The late
Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, had a
desk in the front row, almost in front of
the presiding officer. When Mr.. Anthony's
health began to decline with more than
usual rapidity, about two years
ago, Malone saw his opportunity.
He sought the veteran Assistant
DOorkeeper, who keeps record
of claimants for seats, and quietly put
his name down as desiring Senator An
thOny's seat whenever it became vacant.
He was, of course, the first on the list for
that seat, and he expects to OCCUPY it
next month. Both Senator Vest, OF Mis-
souri,, and Senator Pugh, Of Alabama,
evidently expect to be reelected, for each
has put in a claim to better seat then he
now has. Although his present term will
expire next March, Mr.. Vest, who is now
at desk beyond the outer row, wants
Mr.. PendletOn's seat, near the centre of
the chamber, and Mr.. Pugh, who also has
an undesirable seat in the last row, pro-
poses to move into Mr.. GrOOme's seat, in
the front row. SenatOr-elect Payne. of
Ohio, will probably occupy Mr.. Williams
seat, in the last row, near the centre aisle,

:. W. Dorsey, says a st. Louis special
of Nov. IS to the New York San, was
found to-day among the delegates in at
tendance on the great cattle convention.
''What do you think of Mr.. Blaine's
course in stumping the Northern States?"
he was asked.
81 believe" said he, ''the ablest man
alive is the man whose tongue has been
cut out. The chances are more than even
that when a candidate for great office
attempts to advocate his own claims he
viii make great mistakes. The moment
Mr.. Blaine opened his mouth he
made the mistake OF defense. When he
wrote the letter about his family he made
the mistake of accusation. He made
every woman in the country feel that
there was a basis for a false charge.
What he ought to have done was to have
pointed to MS children, his grandchildren,
and his family life for forty years. His
action cost a million votes"

PATENT DECISION REVIEWS.

The Recent Decision to Create COnsid-
cradle Stir Among Patentees.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-As a result of
the recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court in the case of ButterwOrth,
Commissioner of Patents, VS.. the United
States eX rel. Hoe ct al, wherein it was
held that an appeal cannot lie from the
decision of the Commissioner of Patents
to the Secretary of the Interior, Secre-
tary Teller has ordered the dismissal of
all pending appeals in patent cases. The
practice of entertaining such appeals
was begun in Secretary Kirkwood's
administration, and since that date the
decisions of the Commissioner of Patents.
have been reversed in some instances. In
these cases, and included among them is
an appeal relating to the telephone inter-
ference proceeding between Blake, Edi
son, and Drawbaugh. 1t is believed that
the Secretary's decision will be without
legal effect, and the parties in interest
must revert to the original decisions of
the Commissioner of Patents.

A FIGHT TO SAVE LOGAN.
THE SIXTH SENATORIAL DIS
TRICT TOFHLINOIS IN DISPUTE.

Republicans to Make an Effort to Count
Out SenatOr-elect Brand-The Figures
of the District Inspectors of Election
Challenged-The United States Com
missioner Puts His Finger in the Pie.
CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-A few days ago it
was announced in these dispatches that
Brand, Democrat, according to the returns
to the canvassing board, was elected to the
State Senate from the Sixth District, in
stead of Leman, Republican, who had
majority according to the police returns,
thus giving the Democrats a majority in
the State Legislature on joint ballot, and
power to elect a United States Senator to
succeed Gen. Logan. The difference was
found to be in the Second precinct
Of the Eighteenth ward. The police re-
turns give Leman 420 and Brand 274. The
returns to the canvassing board gave
Leman 220 and Brand 474, thus making a
change OF 400 in favor of Brand, and Civ
ing him a majority of 10. The figures on
the tally sheet seemed to be original
figures, showing no signs of erasure, but
the figures in the poll book appeared to
have originally stood as in the return to
the police, but to have been subsequently
erased and made to correspond with the
tally sheet. On behalf of Mr.. Brand it
was stated that the original entry in the
poll book was clerical error.
Mr., LEMAN's PLEA.
On behalf of Mr.. Leman, who claimed
that the returns had been tampered with,
it was shown that in this precinct the
Republican candidates for President and
Governor received 3S9 and 4O8 respect
lively, while the Democratic candidates
for those offices received 2SS and 2S7. and
he argued that it was impossible that
such large falling of should have oc-
CURED in his (Leman's) vote. The ques-
tion of calling on the judges to appear
and testify, and of the power of
the canvassing board to 90 into
the matter, has been under consideration
since and the decision is held until to-
morrow. This afternoon the United
States District Attorney presented the
matter to the United States grand jury
and the Republican Judge in that pre-
cinct, supervisor of election, and the
members of the canVassing board were
summoned to appear forthwith. The
board was also ordered to bring the bal
lOt-bOx and returns for that precinct.
The County Clerk, in whose charge the
ballot-bOx is, appeared with the others
and said that by the advice of his counsel
he declined to bring the ballOt-bOx. That
part of the order was waived for the time
being and the clerk sent for the returns.
He did not come back, and the grand jury
adjourned with orders that all parties be
brought before that body tomorrow morn
ing. In the meantime a squad of police
is guarding the ballot box.

VIRGINIA ELECTION LAWS.

Gov. Cameron VetOes the Mccormick
Bill and the Senate Overrides Him.
RICHMOND, Nov. 21.-The Mccormick
electoral board bill, recently passed by
the General Assembly. was returned to
that body to-day by Gov. Cameron, with
his objections to approving it. The bill
pFOvides for the election by the Legisla-
ture of county and city boards to be in
vested with the power Of appointing all
registrars and judges of election, the
effect OF which action is to place the
whole election machinery of the
State in the hands of the party
in power in the Legislature. The
Governor objects to the bill mainly on the
ground eff partisan legislation, insisting
that the appointment of registrars and
judges of election should be from the op-
posing political parties, and that the
present bill can be so construed as to
make nugatOry all attempts to have differ
ent political parties represented in these
appointments.
In the Senate the bill was passed over
the Governors veto by a vote Of % ayes
to 9 nays. The House took no action to-
day IN the matter.
