A Protest Against the Nomination of
James Mclaughlin.

a FrOtest Against the NOminatiOn OF
James Mclaughlin.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-A small delega-
ton of citizens Of Lynchburg, Va. headed
by Col. Parsons of Natural Bridge, who are
opposed to the confirmation of James M.
Mclaughlin as postmaster at Lynchburg,
Va, appeared before the Senate committee
on postoffices and postroads this morning
and stated their grounds of objection to
MoLaughlin's confirmation. 1t is under
stood that the objections were based upon
charges to the effect that Mclaughlin was
not a republican, that ne was barkeeper,
a Catholic, and that he had failed to account
for some campaign money given to him in
1882. The committee postponed action on
the case, but there is little or no doubt that
Mclaughlin will be confirmed finally.

court to-day affirmed the decision Of the
court Of claims in favor Of the Alabama
Great Southern Railroad Company for

by order Of the Postmaster General under
the act Of 1876, declaring tnat railroads
constructed in whole or in part by land
grants shall for mail transportation receive
only 50 per cent of the compensation
authorized. The Postmaster General
originally ruled that the act
railroad as mad been aided by land grants,
and not 10 the unaided portions. This con-
structiOn continued until 1888, when Post
master General Villas received the ruling Of
his predecessors and decided that the act
applied to the whole line Of railroad which
had been aided 10y land grants for part Of
its line and subjected the entire line of the
Alabama Great Southern company TO re-

struck a si1-foot vein Of rich carbonate ore
in the Iron Chief, near the end line of the

several weeks and sunk . shaft some fifty
feet when hs found the ore. Il has been
the opinion of many all along that the CAL

property may make him q millionaire yet,
and we hope it will.
