The Richmond and DanvilIe Il. X.

The Richmond anu DanvlILe Ak. H.
The Richmond and Danville syndicate.
will. it is understood. become 10 short time
n railroad power in Washington of an i'm.
portance equal 10 the Baltimore and Ohio
or the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
The Danville company now owns all Inc
land on the south bank of the Potomac OPP
posite Washington and east of the Long
bridge. Their river front there extends
from the Washington and Alexandria Rail-
road track to Gravelly Point, and comprises
some thirty FIVE acres. As yet the only ap {,
prosch of the Danvilo syndicate's Virginia
and Washington Railway, recently bought
by tho Pennsylvania Company for 1000,
and the Danvilie Virginia MiGand) pas
senger trains which pass over the Washing
ton and Alexandria Railway pay very
heavy toll, while most of its freight and cat
tie trains, &C., cross the Baltimore and Ohio
ferry at Alexandria and go to Baltimore aud
the North via Shepherds aud Bladenshurg.
For many years the DInville managers have
been casting about for some connection with
w Washington, and matters in Alexandria
county that are now eliminating promise TO
aid Them 10 secure this result. The Alexan-
dria canal, left dry by The destruction OF the
aqaednct, runs from Alexandria to Column
Ola turnpike half mile south of the Long
bridge, on line nearly parallel with the AL
exandria and Washington Railway. This
canal will be sold at auction on the 7th of
next month. Its purchaser, after settling
come land claims, will have level line from
the Midland Railroad at this city to within
some hundred yards of the south end Of the
Long bridge. The congressional grant of
the Long bridge makes its tracks available
to any railway whose owners shall contri
butte ratably to its cost and maintenance,
and the Pennsylvania Company hasno mon
opoly there. The Farwel bill, pending in
Congress, gives the Baltimore and Ohio Pail
road the right of way down MARYLAND aven.
ue to the Long bridge, where tue Midland
trains can come at once on the b. and o..
Road L. is underso God that Danvlle de-
pot at Washington is one of the certainties of
the near future. and it seems most likely
that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will
have an all rail connection with the Midland
Railroad at this city entirely independent
of the prescott Washington aad Alexandria

TnE RESPONSE OF President Cleve.

THE RESPONSE OF President Cleve-
land to the Notification Committee
yesterday was decidedly the best pro-
nouncement that he has made since
he delivered his inaugural message.
1t is cool, collected and manly--the
utterance of q man who evidently
appreciates the responsibilities Of his
high office; of man who assumed
these responsibilities with more or
less distrust of his abilities to success.
fully carry them out, but whose sense
and conception of public duty have
been so clear that he believes himself
entitled to the credit of giving the
country an honest and efficient ad-
ministration.
We may not all agree with him in
the self-confdence with which he
declares his course, on "a fair inter-
probation, to be altogether above re-
proach, but there is no man Of either
or any party who does not accord the
President a degree of official con-
scientiousness surpassed by none Of
his predecessors, and his yesterdays
speech, brief and formal as it neces-
sarily was, will greatly intensity the
admiration which he has compelled
even of his most prejudiced critics.
There was not sentence nor line
in his remarks that had the slightest
SAVIOR of sentimentalism or any of the
nonsense usual to such occasions. 1t
was the declaration Of q courageous,
honest and self-possessed man, who,
feeling that he has done the best for
his country that he could do from his
tandpoint, has no hesitation in so
ating, even at the risk of being
arged with vain-gloriousness or
ism.
is very certain that no better
aign document has been placed

ends are not likely to improve

SENATOR VOORHEES, never makes
poor speech, but he made one of his
best before the literary societies of
the University of Virginia yesterday.
The theme of his discourse was the
illustrious and inspiring record of
Thomas Jefferson as statesman,
patriot and public servant. 1t would
naturally be supposed that a Demo-
cratic Senator, speaking of great
Democratic statesman before q Demo-
cratic assemblage, would tincture his
remarks more or less with Democratic
partisanship, but familiar as Mr..
Voorhees, is with the public career of
Jefferson, and inviting rs the oppor-
tunity was to give it a party coloring
on this occasion, it is greatly to
his credit that he abstained from
the least reference to Mr.. Jeiferson's s
character in public or private life that
could be given partisan or factious
construction. Mr., Voorhees, has
made the same address before, but it
had been suggested that he would
convert it at this peculiar juncture of
political affairs into a campaign
speech. That he did not do so is to
be commended from every point OF
view.

Two REPUBLICAN papers of Evans
vile, Ind, the Post (German) and the
Duty Bulletin, have given Harrison
the shake, and are ready to rejoice in
his downfall. They object to him on
the ground of the stiGT tariff plank,
his Chinese record, the bulldozing of
his managers against Gresham, his
prohibition views, his patronizing
manners and on so many other
grounds that he will either have to
lose their support or adopt an entirely
new record for himself. The Bulletin
says he will in all probability be
beaten in his own State by 10000
majority.
