SATURDAY EVENING. MARCH Z.

In ALLUDISG to the indecent behavior OF
Mr.. Riddleberger in Directing to the con-
tirmation of the nominations for the Presl'
dents Cabinet, the Philadelphia Recora
says:
"Poor Virginia must mourn the day OF
madness and folly in which she surrendered
10 q faction of repudiatiug demagogues ~
would be an insult to the Senate to suspect
that it contains another man capable OF Inc
act of Rddleberger. Fortunately, no party
in the country is responsible for him."
The Record is one Of the few Northern
journals that usually have correct ideas
about the South; but in the last sentence OF
the above quoted paragraph it could not
have been more incorrect if it had tried to
be. The republican party, and not that OF
Virginia either, but the national, that Is the
Northern, republican party, headed by the
national republican administration, and 1t
alone, is solely and entirely responsible Tor
Mr.. Ridd!eberger; for had it not been that
the whole weight of the republican ad-
,niuistra,iou was thrown III favor OF Ma
home" and that he received the countenauce
and support oi the uational repuhilran
party, Reputation would have been I'm
possible in Virginia, nor would the Stale
have been disgraced by having such man
as Mr. Riddleberger to misre:'r--ent her III

the order of the republican President, sup
ported therein, as hs was, by the republican
party Of he North, transmitted to them

GALVESTON, Aug. Especial. The
special master of tho Houston Il Texas
Central railway, in his report
to the United States circuit court,
recommended the substitution Of steel
rails on 45 miles of the Austin branch,
and II miles Of tho Waco
branch on the road on which
the iron is still IN use. lie statos that
tho old rail on the Austin branch has
beon III use since 1865 and 1870, and
that on the Waco branch
since 1875, and that they
arc practically worn cut and are liable
to cause accident. To displace those
old rails on the two sections mem
tinned ny steel rails Weighing 81
pounds to the lineal yard,
the master estimates he maximum
cost 10 be S2Ol 800, and that II will cost
S32,4OO to remove tho old iron
and lay the steel. The yield
from the sale Of the old
iron II estimated at 1913, 4i0,
making the aggregate minimum Of
tho cost OF improving the track $780,
$40. Tho master therefore recon-
mends that the receivers DO author
lied to make the improvement.
