Congressman who failed to get a renom-
nation or a reelection have been talking
to a reporter lately about public life. They
agree pretty generally that congress is no
place for poor men, that only the wealthy
can be successful there. History does not
bear out this assertion, but the belief in it
ought to afford some consolation to the
statesmen who will remain at home.

and Accomack counties who were OPP
posed to the repeal OF the fish laws as
they now exist was held in this place

ing ever held in Cape Charles

those present that the representative
from Accomack should present bill for
the repeal Of the law that was detri-
mental to majority Of the citizens Of
this county. All those interested in the
fishery business who live III Northamp-
ton county, except, perhaps two or three
who live near the AccOmack lines, are
opposed to the repeal of the present
laws. and so expressed themselves at the
meeting held this afternoon.
A resolution was offered and passed
unanimously that committee lie APP
pointed and instructed to proceed to
Richmond at once and to protest against
the repeal of the law and insist upon the
delegate from this county, >. 5. wilkins,
using his best influence to defeat the
proposition as presented by the delegate
IRON Accomack. The following commit
tee was appointed to carry out the reso-
luton:
DIR. John T. Wilkins and Joshua War
ren, of this county, and Thomas Carmin,
of Accomack county.
The weather is extremely cold here to-
day and the ground is covered with ice
and snow. The thermometer registered
about twenty degrees lower than it did
at this time yesterday, and it is still
growing colder.

ANIMATED DISCUSSION.

lima HaiIrOad.
Special telegram to the Dispatch.'


PETERSBURG, VA, January ia
special meeting of the Common Council
was held this evening TO hear the report
of the committee appointed to look
into the proposed extension Of
the charter of the Virginia and
North Carolina railroad The com
mittee stated that at their request the
Senate Committee on Roads had de-
ferred consideration Of the matter until
tomorrow evening The report says
that in view of the fact that it is expected
to get a decree for the sale of the road
and It's franchises for the benefit of the
city at an eaily day and that if the char
ter and franchises of the road are taken
from it a sale would result in less benefit
tothe city than sale with the franchises,
it was suggested that instead of opposing
an extension of the charter the city
should propose an amendment of the bill
imposing a condition that security be
given that the road will be built and put
in operation. The committee thereupon
submitted for the approval of the Coun-
ell two amendments to the bill III sub
stance as follows:
First Provided, however, that should
a sale OF the Virginia and Carolina rail
road take place in the suit now pending
in the Chancery Court Of Richmond city,
which has for its object among other
things a sale of said road for
the satisfaction Of deed Of trust made
10 secure bonds OF the railroad company,
and the charter rights Of the present
company shall thus pass from 1t, then
no purchaser at such sale shall have the
benefit of this act or the extension of
time hereby granted except by consent
of the parties to said suit who shall not
satisfy the court that he purchases with
the b0nd- fdc purpose OF completing said
road at least from the line of the state
of North Carolina to the city of Peters
burg. which fact the court shall certify in
its decree of sale, and who shall also, if
the court shall see fit to require IT, give
to the court substantial security that I'M
der the extension OF the charter granted
the road will be duly completed. Should
the committee fail to adopt this amend
ment, then the second amendment is TO
he offered, providing that within one
year after It's adoption the company
shall build, equip, complete, and put in
operation as much as twenty miles OF the
road, commencing at Petersburg ; that
it shall within the next year build twenty
miles more, and within two years after
January !, 1889, complete and put
in operation the balance of the
road. The Council approved both
amendments, and adopted resolution
directing the committee, in case both
are refused, to fight any extension OF
the charter.
The Council meeting WAS animated,
and the discussions we're participated III
by members of the Chamber OF Com
mnrcn.
