Miss Mary Garrett and Mr. Spence.


A special dispatch from Philadelphia says:
the ousting of Samuel Spencer from the
presidency of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company was the work Of woman.
by the CARROTS, President Spencer had for
some time been regarded as inimical 10 The
Garrett policy. The election OF Chas. F.
Mayer, to succeed Mr.. Spencer, was accom-
plished through the energy aud shrewdness
of Miss Mary Garrett. II has been known
for some time that Miss Garrett, who, since
the death of her brother, T. Harrison, and
the illness Of her other brother, Robert, has
been \ control Of the Garrett stock, has been
opposed to President Spencers management
of the company's affairs. Spencer was a
protege and trusted friend Of John w. Gar
rett, who, fading that he was . young maa
of ability, steadily promoted him. Robert
Garrett had inherited confidence in Spen.
GERS ability, aod supposed that he was
thoroughly devoted tc the CARROT interest
Consequently when Robert Garrett was com
PEELED to relinquish the presidency OF the
company Mr.. Spencer was made president
of the road He at once began policy d.
rectly opposed to that OF the CARROTS, and
aroused the opposition of Miss Mary Carrot,
who had always taken lively interest in
the management of the company. Miss
Garrett had been her fathers conidaute
and often his advisor, and she was said at
one time to be more familiar with the de-
tails of the company than any one connect
ed with it. 1t was against her protest that
Mr.. Spencer entered into negotiations with
Jay Gould for the sale of The Baltimore and
Ohio Telegraph, which was Robert CARROTS
pet hobby. While Robert was on the ocean
on bis way to the Uai;ed States, and could
not interfere, Spencer copeummated the sale
of the telegraph lines When T. Harrison
Garrett died it was believed that Mr.. Spen.
Ger would be able to hold bis position, but
Miss Garrett did not propose that he should
be continued 10 control, and with that ener
gg and tact which she had always displayed,
she set to work to accomplish the over
throw of Mr.. Spencer and his policy. The
Dire xe- Morgan syndicate had advanced s..
BOO, 900 to the road uuder Mr.. Spencer's
and that official wanted to ne
poiiate another loan from the same parties.
This would have placed tbs company more
in the control Of the banking

Special Correspondence OF the Alexs. GAZETTE
WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec %. 1855
All additional that can be learned to day
about the conference that was held here
Yesterday by the Virginiens. referred to in
this correspondence Of that date, is that the
members of the Virginia legislature WIS
were present, were 10 favor of an extra ses
sion of that body, some to impose further
restrictions on negro suffrage, some to pro-
tect the negroes who want TO vote the dem
ocratic ticket, and some to make fnrthe!
vain attempts to repudiate the State debt,
By preventing the receivabi!itY OF coupons
in payment of debts due the State; but tn! t
the others, or rather the wiser among
those who were not members OF The leelsla
ture, were opposed to an extra session for the
reason that there is no popular call for one.
that the existing election laws are sufficient
for all practical purposes, aud that the
trouble in the State is not with the negro,
but with the white voters. The conference
was prolonged one, but none of those who
took part in it seemed to have any we'll de.
find idea of what is best to be done in the
face ofth existing condition, and, as stated
Yesterday, 20 definite action was taken
1t is probable that a meeting of the
State democratic committee will be held
next month, st which the proposition for IL
extra session of the legislature will be con
sidered.
Among the strangers in the city to day is
Col. Ktlgore, formerly CT Alexandria, bat
now of Rockville, Nd. The Colonel says
people are such tetotalers 10 his, Mont
gomery county, that it is impossible even to
buy glass of cider there; that last month
81 100 was collected as fines for selling
liquor, and that the month before 81 500
was exactsd from one man alone.
A gentleman here interested in the
Brookes patent for using petroleum for loco
motive fuel, says it has been tested satsfac
toriy at Toledo, Oaio. been adopted by one
abroad company, and is expected to revoIu
iionize tie present system of generating
steam. Mr.. Brookes, recently lived in Alex
andris.
