No RIGHT TO ERECT WIREs.-An important
question was decided in the Court Of Appeals at
Richmond on Thursday affecting the right of way
OF telegraph companies in the case of the Western
Union Telegraph Company VS.. Williams, on sp
peal from the circuit court of New Kent county.
rhe controversy grew out of q claim of the tele-
graph company that it had right under an act
of the general assembly passed in 1850, to con-
struct its line along the public roads Of the State
without regard to the property rights of abuttng
landowners. The court held that this act WAS un-
constitutional and void, because it failed to pro-
vide compensation 10 such landowners, and that
Williams, whose property rights were invaded by
the company, had right of action for trespass to
cover damages. The judement of the lower court
was aft rmed. 1t was test case, and practically
settles about twenty-five cases pending in New
Kent county 1t will probably lead to the insti-
tution OF many suits in other sections OF the
State where the telegraph and telephone COM
panies have erected lines along the public roaas
under the act declared void by this decision.

LEX A NDRIA, W
sATURpAy EvENISe. MARCH %.

Two BILLS we're recently introduced III
Congress to allow certain applicants therefor
tbe privilege of erecting hotels on the nun.
tarv reservation at Old Point, One set OF
applicants were white, the other negroes.
The bills were referred to the Secretary OF
War. Reports Oh both reached Congress on
the same day. That on the former was:
"That all the hotel privileges at Fort
Monroe that can be granted consistently
with the military interest of the United
S; ates have been granted, and all that the
ynterests Of the public require, and as the
very limited space now reserved for strictly
military purposes at that point ia indispenss,,
BILE. it should not be further encroacned
upon for any other purpose
That on the latter was:
1.-THE site proposed is for small hotel
narti,ularly for the use of colored people
and il far less Questionable than any OF the
othsr sites shat have bsen given"
Isit any wonder that Mr.. Proctor should
have refused to Ag the flag over the war

IT Is reported that the money has at last
been raised to build the West Virginia
Central Railroad from Charleston to Harris
onburg, Rockingham county, Va, and thence
through the counties Of Madison, Culpeper,
Fauquier, and Stafford to Qaantico, on the
Potomac, and that the work will be COM
menced at once. Why some one OF the
many proposed new railroads in this section
of the State doesp'C avail itself of the thirty
miles of the graded bed of the old Manassas
Gap Railroad, from the town Of Manassas to
thirty feet of water at Jones's Point, is pass
ing strange. The saving in the grading OF
thirty miles would reduce considerably the
cost Of small railroad.

that at elections at which the individual

INA lecture delivered in Washington last
Thursday night, the famous Bishop New
man of the NJ. E. Church, once an ultra re-
publican of the straightest sect, expressed
the opinion that "the Caucasian race need
have no fear of the colored people ever
gaining control. There was no instance IN
history, he said where an emancpated race
ever gained the ascendancy." OF course
NOT. and in the case referred to it would be
unnatural were it otherwise, for the negroes
belong to an inferior race But for all this,
the northern South.haters ia Congress are
inctssantly engaged in vain and futile at
tempts to put cities ard counties and even
whole States in the South under control OF
the negroes, and to establish negro ascead-
ancy in the South wherever the negroes
have a simple numerical majority.
