The RAILROADS of the State having re-
fused to become subject to the domination OF
General Malone. his few white followers
want their management taken out OF the
bands Of the people who own them and put
under the supervision Of a State Commission,
who shall conduct them according to its
own will. People who own railroads have
the slime right to manage their own prop
erty that owners Of other sorts Of property
have to manage theirs, and as it is to their
interest TO make their roads as popular as
possible reasonable people cant help think
ing that the owners Of railroads are better
qualified to conduct their OWE business than
any STATE officers, no matter how dlslnter-
ested they may be. No money would ever
be advanced to build railroads if the men

HAM SHEPHERD ON JUDGE SHUMATE.-
The Committee for Courts of Justice of the
House of Delegates met again yesterday to
continue the investigation of Judge Shumate
of Fauquier. Mr.. Ham Shepherd was ex-
amined and testified as follows That the
Judge packed the grand jury to prevent the
conviction Of his politicians, who violated
the election laws at the November election,
1882, by issuing an unlimited order relative
TO blank tax receipts and scattering them ali
over the county. The facts were that the
grand jury list up to the 18th January, 1888,
had on it only two men who were not pro-
no,lnced democrats; that at this date which
was at an unusual time 1.-THE law designating
August rs the month for the judge to make
out the list he returned to the clerk new
grand jury list of forty-eight containing only
twenty. six democrats, aud that the jury
fixed by him for the March term was COM
posed of twelve coaIitionists and twelve
democrats: that he knew of the fraud, and
testified in February, 1883, that he received
some forty or fifty blank tax receipts of the
collector and distributed them among his
partisans: that he never called the grand
jnry's attention to the fraud, or in any way
sought to punish the perpetrator for crime,
though he (Shumate) testified that he knew
the law prohibiting the issuing by the col
lector of blank tax receipts. Mr.. Shepperd
testified to Stimulates ignorance as Judge,
and said: The general impression of our
people since it was known that he issued
these receipts is that he would not hesitate
to use bis official position in any way to
further his party interests, and that his party
zeal and prujudice were SO great that he
would almost unconsciously decide cases
with reference to the effect his decision
would have upon his party"
At night the committee remained in ses-
sion until II o'clock, examining Captain
Scott, Commonwealth's attorney for Eau
quier Captain Alex. Payne, and Mr.. w. C.
Marshall Next Wednesday Judge Shu-
mate will bring his witnesses before the
committee, and they will be heard.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. II, 1884.
The Mahoneite news here to-day, accord
ing to current reports, is to the following eff
feet. 1t comes from republican and scala
wag sources, and is believed to be true.
General Mahone's son Butler will be ap-
pointed to the place in the Office of the Sec
rotary of the Senate now filled by COL Gill
man. Riddleberger wanted the place for
one of his friends, and Malone had almost
abandoned the fight for his son when the
Secretary was informed, by whom has
not vet leaked out, that Riddleberger's
friend, year or two after the war, had
written an article in which, with one or two
exceptions all the federal generals were
spoken of in contemptuous terms. AS soon
as the Secretary heard this he said it was
enough, and that young Malone should
have the place unless his father objected.

power to license only a certain number Of
hooks Of each sort, it might he alleged that
they considered others superior to those We
have named, but because four series OF
readers are licensed, there is no earthly
reason except its own arbitrary action, why
there may not be six biographies and forty
arithmctica. We are Of opinion that oa'
series, uniform throughout the State, would
be more economical and better in every
way, but if the City and County Boards are
to have choice, why not license crery book
not positively exceptionable-like the &c
lec,ic History for example. The three Sc
ries of books above named were used in this
CITY; the State Board did not relicense
them, and they had 10 be changed at
