ROADWAY AND OTHER PROPERTY.
The track has been greatly improved
through its entire extent. During the
year iron rails have been replaced with
60-pound steel rails, as follows:
On the Richmond and Danville and
Piedmont roads, $50 tons; on the
North Carolina road, 2,027 tons on
the Atlanta and Charlotte Airline
railway, 6,955 tons renewing in the
aggregate l0l3 miles of track. On the
Richmond, York River and Chesapeake
road about Is miles have been sub
stantially repaired by the substitution
of partly-worn fish-bar rails for the old
char rails in use on a portion of that
road.
That section Of the James-Riyer
bridge rcxt to the Richmond station
has been replaced by an iron structure
of two spans, securing permanent and
convenient crossing and aiiording great
er protection against danger from high
water. Other structures of this class
have received such repairs as their sta
bility and safety required.
The safety and economy Of the train
service has been improved by the addi-
ton of about three (3) miles of side
track at such points as were deemed
most suitable. Some additional station
accommodations have been made at Jc-
tersyille, Va, Charlotte, y. c., and
other points. At South Boston, Dan
vile, Salisbury, and few other sta
tons, improvements are much needed.
and will in part be provided during the
present year. The eompany's wharfst
Rockets, accommodating valuable
traffic interchangcd with shipping at
that point. has been thoroughly rebuilt
at cost of about $l2. 900, and terminal
facilities elsewhere as required have
been sufficiently provided for.

DISPATCH.

There was some significance in
QUEEN VIoToRIA's very prompt &C.
ceptanco of GLADsToNE's resignation.
He sent II In, nor did she hesitate a
moment in Its acceptance. The princi.
pal deduction from this fact to a party
unacquainted with anything save the
custom Of British Legislation and exec.
utive action consequent thereon,
would be that the Queen, In observ.
ance of British custom, had recog.
nized the right of the people to dictate
GLADsToNE's resignation and the per.
formed duty of the premier to surren-
der his premiership upon the expires.
sion of such will.
Yet there appears to have been a
surprise that the Queen should have
acted so very promptly. There is oc.
casion for no such surprise. Al
official head Of the nation over which
she presides, her duty is simply to aci
as it's mouthpiece, and whatever pri.
vate opinion she may entertain, her
duty as Royal Goyerness is very plain
There Is vast amount of practical
Democracy In aristocratic England.

NASHVILLE, June l7.-Delegates
from Tennessee to the national en-

Republic at Portland, Maine, on the

Alta representative meeting of citl-
zens at the Board Of Trade rooms
this morning expressions were very
earnest in support of an invitation
to the Grand Army to hold its
next eacampment in this city. Reso-
lutions were adopted expressive OF
profound respect for the patriotic in
splration OF the organization, symps-
thy with its national spirit, approval
of its non-sectional purpose and of its
freedom from political or partisan
bias; admiration for the manliuess OF
its membership and their devotion to
the principles of American fraternity,
on which rests the best hopes
for the perpetuity of free
American institutions. Believing
great and lasting good to result from
closer social intercourse between the
sections, and in no better way signal.
lied than by visit to Tennessee from
the Grand Army, met by a welcome
which should be eloquent of Tennos-
sees appreciation OF the honor. The
Tennessee delegates TO the encamp-
ment were requested to extend an in
vitation TO the Grand Army of the Re.
public TO meet in this city next year.
