RICHMoND's IMPROVED RAILROAD
FACILITIES.

Bevond a doubt the Richmond ana DAN
v,l,e railroad has been OF the greatest
value TO Richmond in opening UP vast
field FOR her trade throughout the south
While the Virginia Midland railroad was
owned and controlled by the Baltimore
and Ohio and the CARROTS the through
passenger business Of the DanVine was
done by Richmond. but with much neon
,,oDionce and delay on account OF the
then existing difference in the gauge OF the
fredericksburg and Danville railroads.
tJooyever troublesome IT was, the South
ern merchants came through hichinohu
and It helped her trade.
But when the Virginia Midland raiiroau
WAS absorbed as part Of the Danville sys-
TER. the through train was switched OH
AZ Danvine by way OF Lynchburg' ana
since then Richmond has been or the
line. She now has another opportunity
offered her 90 regain her place In this
connection, and II is an opportunity OF
which her merchants will avail them
selves The Seaboard Air Line when mas
recently been completed TO Atlanta, Ca
reaches by It's own rails or It's connec-
tons most OF the important cities and
towns in North Carolina. South Carolina
Georgia and the Gulf States. This line
has Just perfected traffic arrangement
with the Atlantic Coast line, Richmond
Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad and
the Pennsylvania railroad. by which It
runs its trains between Atlanta and
Washington via Weldon. Petersburg and
Richmond. and from Washington to New
York. Richmond is, therefore, again on
the route OF a great through line from all
points South TO Philadelphia, New York
and Boston.
Richmond each year numbers Of mer-
chants who now pass her by one hun
dred miles TO the northward, and these
merchants. once here, would open bust
ness connections with our merchants that
would bring thousands Of dollars here
that we never see now.
We have taken pains TO inquire into
some Of the details Of the schedule by
which this train will be run, and glance
Of the eye over them will show TO what
advantage Richmond can turn them.
Time from Richmond to Henderson. three
hours and half; Raleigh four hours and
a half: Durham five hours; Atlanta,

in Raleigh, Durham OF Henderson, spend
nearly four hours in Richmond, and be

train 10 Richmond are too obvious 10
need comment.
il IS a great comfort, 10 have another

Abiding 20 the removal of Stevens as
United States Minister at Honolulu and
the appointment Of Hon. Mr.. Blount'
Of Georgia. as his successor, the Mail
and Express suggests that on Stevens
arrival in this country, he be given a
general ovation. and says:
This is an opportunity 10 prove that
the nation rejoiccs 10 recognize the man
who hosted our flag on the pearl Of the
Pacific, and II is also an opportunity 10
stcrnly rebuke this unpatriotic admins
tration. which ordered old Glory TO be
torn down"
THE Nation" will rejoice In doing no
such thing. because raising the flag over
the Hawaiian Islands by force and con-
trary to the wishes of the people of the
islands. was an act of robbery, opposed
an every respect, TO the spirit of our con-
stitution and laws. II Stevens receives
any welcome whatever. 1t will only be
from Republicans who love force and are
always ready to condone robbery In any
shape, whether 1t be of a weak country
or OF the public money in the United
States Treasury.

Tho scotch-Irish Of the United states
hold a convention to-day at springneld'
Ohio. II will be composed Of representa-
two mon from all over the country. whose
eencalogy entitie them 10 be classed
among those sturdy citizens Of the Re
public.
The origin OF this society, as was mem
toned IN The Times at the time. was
NJ follows: Colonel Thomas 7. Wright
y, Nashville. Tenn, conceived the idea
little more than three years ago Of
e-otting together all the men OF Scotch
Trieh descent In the land. and forming
them into an organization. He wrote 70
OK Governor Taylor. OF that State, sug-
costing his idea. and received cordial
raspcnse. approving highly OF the propo-
clifton AS soon as It became known to
the citizens OF that descent in Tennessee.
they received It with enthusiasm. and
largely adopted IT.
From this beginning the movement
e,read all over the United States. Mr..
Robert Bonner and other well-known men
~ scotcb-Irish descent I'm the East, began
corresponding with Ex-Governor Taylor
aud the result was that very soon the
scotch-Irish throughout the country heard
., the nroposed organization, and as all
OF them promptly seconded It, conveh-
tion was held in Columbia. Tenn III
Nav. 1859. which was attended by about
: ooo nersons. This attendance was so
much larger than. the promoters or the
movement expected. that no building j"
the town was large enough to accommo-
date them, and they were compelled 10
hold their meetings in a tent on the
public green. At that time an organiza-
ton was effected which has grown stead
ny and rapidly. resulting in the formation
Of local societies in many cities Of num-
her Of States. which will send 70 the Ma
tional Congress to-day a very large mum
Der Of men.
The hardy and persevering race mas
given TO the United States some OF theT
most DISTINGUISHED and valuable men,
including among its representatives, such
names as those Of Patrick Henry Thomas
Jefferson. John Paul Jones' James Madi-
son. John Marshall. Andrew Jackson
James X. Polk, James buchanan and
other well-known citizens Of the country.
The congress 10 be held to-day will be
purely non-sectarian and non-partisan.
Its object will be to collect material
for a history Of the Scotch-Irish race
and for that purpose it will invite con
tributions bearing on the subject from all
who have such data as is desired. 1t is
stated that already "a large amount Of
valuable matter has been obtained, and
the aim of the congress bids fair to be
successfully accomplished.
The whole country bids the American
Scotch-Irish God-speed I'm their work.
Such a volume as they propose TO pub
lish will be Of absorbing interest, and a
most valuable contribution to the history
Of the American Republic.

Negroes have always had the reputation
OF being the most initiative creatures
I'm the world. and the recent action Of
certain colored citizens OF South Caro-
lima prove the truth Of that belief. II
has OF late been quite a common occur
renee for the South Carolina whites TO
lynch negro criminals charged with grave
offenses. The South Carolina negroes
seeing the whites do this, determined TO
initiate them, and when the negro, Ed
ward Donnan. was taken to Summerville'
s. c.. to be placed in jail for such a
crime as that for which the whites lynch
the darkies. a number Of his own race
attacked the officers having him in charge
and attempted 10 forcibly seize and hang
or shoot him. IL the colored citizens Of
the South will do as white folks do,
let them initiate the virtues and not the
vices OF their white neighbors.
