Hill Or Cleveland, Which !?

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Herald gets off the following
General Black today. in speaking
of the selection of a Presidential candi
date, remarked with an air Of extreme
confidence:
"The great American people will settle
that question by naming Grover Cleve
land,
If the Cleveland people could only
know how many of the Democratic mem
bers of the House who fastened to the
Senate to 'pay their respects to Sena
tor Hill voluntarily avowed themselves
for that gentleman as the Presidential
candidate and rendered their support, it
would be a revelation calculated, per
haps, to diminish their confidence.
If Senator Hill had kept a note book
and inscribed therein the name of each
Democratic Congressman who, in greet
ing him, said: Put ME down for Hill. .
"l'm a Hill Democrat YOU'RE the
kind of man we want in the White
House" and "lIy delegation will be fol
you" and similar pledges, it would make
mighty interesting reading.''
The Tammanyites and Hill Democrats
OF New York have o very kindly feeling
for Maryland's senior Senator. 1t is
common to hear them when discussing
the Presidential question say s'Gorman
is good enough for me-"
General GARRISON, chairman of the Re
publican National Committee, makes 6
suggestion as to the holding of the Dem
ocratic convention. He says the wises1
thing the Democrats could do would be
to hold their convention in Des Moines,
the capital of Iowa. By that move he
says the Democrats might create an en-
thusiasm which would anchor Iowa II
their party. But the Democrats are
likely to regard with suspicion any sug
gestion emanating from General Clark
son, as he is one Of the ablest ane
shrewdest feld-marshals of the opposi-
ton.

Potts Valley Railroad.

In the State Senate, on the 18th, Hon.
j. w. Marshall. State Senator from
Craig and Roanoke, introduced q bill to
incorporate the Potts Valley Railroad
and Iron Company. The company is
empowered to construct and maintain q
railroad from point on the Chesapeake
and Ohio at or near the town Of Coving-
ton, and through the intervening coun-
ties to the State line. The road can con-
meet with the Norfolk and Western at or
near Big Stony creek in Giles. The
com pany is given authority to construct
ore, &c. The capital stock is to be not
less than million and may be increased
five millions.
This is one of the most important en-
terprises that has ever been inaugurated
for this section of country. 1t will open
up one of the richest iron ore districts in
the world, and expose enough of hema-
tite ore to supply all the furnaces in
Virginia. 1t will cut through the west
ern part of the property of the Rich
Patch Iron Company, which is the most
valuable of it, and enable that company
to open mines and ship ores from
both ends of their 5000 acre tract. The
mines now being worked are located on
the eastern side, and furnished with a
complete mining plant
The Potts Valley Road will, according
to the terms Of the bill, open up the
Flat Top coal fields to this section, and
give us the advantage of both the New
River and Flat Top coal fields. With
the Warm Springs road completed to
Warrington, in Pocahontas county, w.
Va, there to unite with the Camden
system, the Pittsburg market would be
accessible for he ores of this section,
and thus additional outlet provided for
the abundant minerals Of this region.
We have been informed that the mon
ely has already been provided for the
construction of the Potts Valley Railroad
and that with the charter secured, oper-
atoms will commence in the early spring
for building it. A corps of engineers is
now in Potts Valley, and have been for
week or ten DAYS

Valley Railroad.

A dispatch, dated at Lexington, Va,
January 18th, says:
"a well known railroad man here to-
day from Baltimore, who enjoys TO no
limited extent the confidence of leading
Baltimore and Ohio officials. said that
the Baltimore and Ohio people had fully
decided to extend the Valley branch of
that line South to Roanoke, where a
junction for Southern traffic will be
made with the Roanoke and Southern,
now about completed to that point.
The gentleman says This move has been
decided upon and that work on the ex>
tension will begin as soon as weather
will permit. Before the financial panic
of 1873 this road was graded to Salem,
Va. a distance OF fifty>two miles south
of this point, with all the heavy fills
and masonry completed, but the finan-
cial crash of that year caused a suspen-
sion of operations. Very little work
will have to be done to reach Roanoke.
This new line will give the Baltimore
and Ohio an independent line into the
South, a big reach into the Richmond
and Danville line territory"
The charter requires that Salem shall
be reached by the railroad. This will
be an important improvement for Bote-
tourt and Roanoke counties, and for the
city of Baltimore.

STATE COURT OF APPEALS.

In the Supreme Court of Appeals
Thursday last two very important cases
were decided. In that of Barbour, re-
ceiver, against Melendy and Russell,
which was IN appeal from a decree oil
the Circuit Court of Alexandria rendered
November 22nd, 1888, the Judgment In
| the lower court was affirmed. The case
involved the killing of the thoroughbred
horse Bfistow, owned by Meiendy ana
Russell, appelees, and was tried by jury
by consent in the Circuit Court OF Alex>
| andria, where a verdict OF $lV,VoO was
awarded the plaintiffs An appeal was
then. taken to the Supreme Court and
the case was subsequently remanded 10
the Circuit Court of Lynchburg. where
new verdict was awarded in the sum
of $170 The verdict was approved
by the trial court and certified back to
the Circuit Court of Alexandria and
made the basis of the decree OF that
court, which was appealed from.
The most important point in question
was the value of the horse, which wit
nesses differed with regard to, and the
opinion declared that the court could
not upon this single question change the
decision of the lower court. The horse
was killed while being shipped by rail
from Lynchburg to Culpeper, where he
was to enter the races. The opinion was
delivered by Judge Lacy.
