An Interesting Case.

Judge Paul, sitting at Lynchbnrg, in the
U. S. Court for the Western District Of
Virginia, has given an opinion In an inter
esting csse involving the right OF slave
before the war to own<property, and the
parties to the case were Woodland and
wife, now Of Baltimore, and Newhall's
administrator. Mrs. Woodland nee lizzie
Lem (colored), of Baltimore. was the
daughter of Paulina Isbell, a slave woman
of Amherst county. The latter had accu-
mulated considerable property during her
slavery, and placed it In the hands of New
hall to purchase her freedom and that Of
her child. AS Paulina desired to remain
in Virginia, Newhall agreed to stand in
the place of master to her, and at the same
time to give her all the privileges Of free
person under the laws of Virginia. Pau
lima afterwards accumulated $1,000, and
placed it in the hands of Newhall to buy
her home. Newhall bought for her a
house and lot but, on examination. the I'll
tie to the same appeared defective, and
| the purchase was annulled. Paulina af-
forwards died, and when Newhall made
his will, March 20, 1865, and soon after
died, he bequeathed his entire estate to his
two nephews, Sublitts. and at the same
time he executed writing, directing them
to pay Lizzie Penn, Paulina's child, $1,000
in gold value, the amount he owed her
mother. The money. it was claimed, was
never SO paid, and the suit was to recover
it. The defence offered four points of OBJ
| lection. First, the statute of limitation,
which WAS overruled. Second, res adflds-
cata, which was also overruled. Third,
that at the time Of the writings OF New
hall, March 20, 1864, Penn was slave and
could not hold property; oyerruled. Fourth
that there was no trust In finally ruling,
the court held that there was only moral
and not legal obligation resting on the
Sublitts, which could not be forced In
equity, and the bill must therefore be dis
missed.
The Judge also decided point in this
case which is of much general interest and
Importance, and that is, as to when slave
ry finally ceased to exist in Virginia. His
decree was that April 7, 1864. the time
when the Alexandria Underwood State
Constitution was adopted, was the date OF
!, which slavery in Virginia passed away.

" hat the Organ Says.

If any one has doubts as to the position
of the Democratic party in Virginia and
what is its object, let him read the fol-
lowing editorial In the Richmond State, of
the 23d, the recognized organ of the party.
The Wing has been writing some sensi-
BILE protection articles, and claiming that
1t speaks for majority of its party. The
State responds as given below. We may
soon find that the free trade organs will
follow the lead of the Louisville Comier r..
Journal and read the protectionists out of
the party. Read what it says;
We would say to the Wing that we dc
not propose to allow it to direct the policy
Of the State or to choose the topics the
State shall discuss. The Whig's assump-
ton that it voices the sentiments of a
large majority of the people of this
Congressional district on the tariff ques-
tion Is utterly groundless, and is evidence
of that fashion of reasoning in which the
wish Is father to the thought. So far as
the Democrats are concerned, we firmly
believe that no small majority of them in
this district are opposed to protection
for in the counties they are wellnlgh a
unit In opposition to it, whilst in the
cities they are divided. with the anti pro-
lection sentiment steadily increasing. We
would say to the Wing, furthermore, that
the State will not permit the Wing to be
it's self constituted guide on any public
question, having upheld the Democratic
principles it now upholds when the Whi9
under it's present management was I'M
known. We would advise the Wing not
to attempt to obtrude it's suggestions upon
the State, and, moreover, to become ac-
quainted with the wants of the people OF
this city and this district before it under
takes to assume the place of dictator tc
the Richmond press.

The Reported B. g. o. Extension 10
R;rmjpohapc



Several weeks ago we gave some partic-
nlars regarding the organization of the
birmingham q Baltimore Railroad Com
pany, which was Incorporated in Alabama
by large number of leading iron makers
and capitalists Of Birmingham. 1t is
stated in that city on the authority OF
those interested that this is a Baltimore
81 Ohio project, and that tie money has
been raised for construction of this line.
AS outlined before, the reports claim that
the Shenandoah Valley branch of the Bal
timore & Ohio will be extended to Dalton,
Ga, and there meet the Birmingham end,
which will be built to that point. 1t is
known that the late John w. Garrett was
fully determined to extend the Baltimore
81 Ohio into the South, and several years
ago he wrote a letter stating that this
would be done, and giving some points as
to the proposed route. Added to this is
the statement of Vice President Spencer
last winter, who wrote to a gentleman in
Virginia that in 1887 the Baltimore Sc
Ohio would extend its line to the South,
and hence was greatly interested in pro-
jects looking to the building of a railroad
south from Roanoke. The birmingham
correspondent of the Baltimore MolaaJac-
tsrers' Record, who is well posted as to
the movements in railroad circles in that
section, in his last letter says that ''the
engineers are about ready to start out on
this end of the B. & o. line from Balti-
more to Birmingham, ana expect to have
the section between Birmingham and Dial
ton, Ga, ready for grading within two
months. Should the autumn happen to
be a long and dry one, as often happens
here, some construction work may be done
before winter closes in +; otherwise, the
building of the road will te commenced
early in the spring and pushed to compile
tion. It Is understood here that the work
on the other end, from Salem, Va. south
| ward, is being arranged for, and will be
carried forward fast enough to meet the
track layers from Birmingham at Dalton.
when they get THERE
The Importance Of this line to Balti-
more and the South cannot well be over
estimated. So vast are the natural re-
sources Of the South, and SO great is the
present growth Of that section, that more
railroads are needed to open up the unde-
vsloped mineral, timber and agricultural
wealth. and to furnish transportation
facilities for the enormous volume of bus
mess that will be developed within ten
years. Baltimore needs to identify her
self more closely than ever with the South,
and the construction Of this line by the B.
& O., and the consequent flow Of capital
for investment there by the rich friends
Of this corporation, would do very much
to accomplish this desirable end.

Important Bankrupt Decision
