WASHINGTON, D. O., April 4, 1856.


WASHINGTON. D. O., April 4, 1856.
A well-known Mahoneite, of republican
antecedents, from the Second Congressional
district of Virginia, here to- day, in talking
about the condition of political affairs in his
State, said that from present indications he
thinks that the republican party there is
doomed to defeat, for many years at least
He says that while General Malone has no
reason to expect larger white vote than he
received last fall, he has good reason to fear
a much smaller colored vote than he got
then, rs the negroes now know not only
that there.i no danger of the democrats
reenslaving hem, hut that so far as offices
are concerned they get as many from the
democrats "a they got from the Generals
party and are treated with certainly as much,
if not more, Kindness and consideration by
the democrats as they ever received from
the Mahoneites. He also said that 30 far as
the Gubernatorial nomination is concerned,
the General did not intend to interfere, but
would apply himself solely and entirely to
the work of securing the election of enough
members of The Legislature to secure his re-
election to the Senate, and that to achieve
that object he will resort to every con-
ceivable means.
It's the solicitor of the Treasury who has

The FASTEST TRAINS IN THE WORLD.

THE fastest TRAINS IN THE WORLD.
To morrow new schedule OF through
trains will be put in operation Oh the lines
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, in
which the system Of rapid transit, so long
and so thoroughly tested, and so successfully
and safely conducted by this great company
on the eastern division Of the lines, will he
extended to the important through service
between the Atlantic seaboard and the
great cities of the West. The entire train
service of the road east and wes,hound,
between New York, Philadelphia, BAi!i
more, Washington, Chicago, Cincinnati, aud
st. Louis will be rearranged. old trai"s
quick ened, and new ones added, and the
time of all through trains reduced TO the
lowest possible limit.
No such sweeping reduction in running
time has ever before been attempted by an.
railroad, and none has ever succeeded In 90

lance covered this is the fastest train in the
world. 1t carries with it every requisite
for comfort or luxury that one could enjoy
in ones own house. Is time from New
York to Cincinnati is q hours, and to st.
Louis % houls with corresponding re.
duction to other points. In addition tn the Lin

Express, will leave New York vt d p III i, Philadel

time of the New York and Chicago Limited The
Fast Line formerly leaving New York t oO 4.
NJ, will leave Mt 900, and about one hour later
than formerly from Philadelphia. Baltimore, and
Washington, and will perform It's surface in much
quicker time. The Western Express will al>o
leave an hour Later, hut is so quickcned as To
gain 8 considerable amount of time in arriving a:
western points.
There can hardly be 4 question that the time
to be mado under this new arra cement Is the
best that any railroad could accomplish and III
order to secure this desirable result the managers
of the Pennsylvania have worked assiduOusIy for
years. Not only have they equipped their road
and their cars with every appliance that modern
ingenuity has devised, but the road itself has
been brought so nearly to a state of perfection
that results almost marvellous in the way Of speed
and promptness may now be attained 1t is the
triumph of earnest, thorough Conscientious and
persistent effort.
The inauguration Of the new schedule will not
only mark era in the history of the great cor
poration. but will prove most important event
in the railroad history of the world.
