The Norfolk and Western's Fight to En-
ter Washington.

The Norfolk and Westerns Fight to En-
ter Washington.
From the Now York Sun.
One OF the stubborness fights during
the pros ont session of Congress, and in
which an active and persistent lobby is
engaged. is that made by the Norfolk
and Western Railway Company to OBJ
tain an entrance to Washington through
the old city Of Georgetown. which is
legally part of Washington, and
which, during all it's existence of CEN
fury or moro, has never had railroad
within it's borders. The Norfolk and
Western bill passed both houses OF Con-
gress two years ago, but failed to be-
come law.
The present bill has been opposed by
tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company or
the ground that Congress was about to
compel that company to build new
bridge across the Potomac in place OF
the historical Long bridge, and that oil
railroads entering Washington from the
south should be compelled to use the
sa ne bridge, whereas tho Norfolk and
Western bill involves bridging the Poto-
mac above Georgetown. The citizens of
Washington, by mass meeting and petit
ton, forced the passage of the bill
through the House, and it is now in the
Senate committee. The bill involves
something more than simply the en-
trance of the Norfolk and Western into
Washington, for should the Norfolk and
Western obtain the privileges itdesires,
the Baltimore and Ohio would have
belt line around the city OF Washingt ton,
with two important terminals in the
heart of the city. The Baltimore and
Ohio already has Maryland charter to
the District line on the southwest.
1t has also acquire the charter Of the
Washington and Western Maryland
road from the District line to the Aque-
duct bridge, and also the charter of the
Washington Dock and Barge Company
from tho Aqueduct bridge to Rock creek,
and it is working in harmony with the
Norfolk and Western to secure for the
latter road right to use the Baltimore
and Ohio tracks, and also to gain access
to Washington over Rock creek. Tho
great advantages which such an en-
trance would give to the Southern roads
has led to demand on the part of the
Richmond and Danville, the Washing
ton, Ohio and Western, the Virginia
Midland and the Metropolitan Southern
to be allowed to use the tracks OF the
Norfolk and Western in case Congress
should grant charter to the latter road.
There is every indication that the fight
begun in the House will be continued in
the Senate, because the new measure
involves the building of an entire new
set of terminals within the boundaries

A SENSATIONAL CASE.
Explanation OF tho Tarring and Feather
ing In Albemarle County.

Explanation OF tho Tarring and Feather
ing In Albemarle County.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Jan. ga
sensational story has been published OF
tho tarring and feathering OF an Eng
lishman named Arthur Flower March,
near Gotham, this county, by John Arm
strong Chanler, husband of Amelia
Rivcs Chanler, and party of friends q
few days ago.
Whilst the story is exaggerated, it is
true that March was decorated with
some feathers and ordered to leave tho
county. The fact that lady is con-
cerned in the incident will not be sur
prising, but that she is young, beauti-
full. highly connected-the daughter of
a distinguished Virginian-wilI add to
the interest Of the story. March began,
it is alleged, by seeking church coz
nection and became tho organist at
Grace Church, pretty Gothic edifice
quite In the English style, near Castle
Hill, the residence of Col Alfred l..
Rives, Of the Panama railroad, and the
home of Mrs. Amelia Rives- Chanler.
The rector, Rev. Mr.. Jones, soon sus-
pected that March was not all that he
claimed to be and dispensed with his
services. This, it is said, angered March
and led him to threaten violence. Cap
tain j. d. Frizzell, highly respected
Englishman, who lives near Gotham,
and of whose homo March was an in
mare, requested him to leave, and
as he seemed reluctant to do so,
he FASTENED his departure, it is as
serted, Oy presenting shotgun. All
this time March had been very alton.
tive to the high.b born lady already re-
ferred to, indeed became an inmate of
her fathers house, and the report
gained currency. much to the annoy
ance Of the young lady's family, that
they were engaged. The father ordered
him to leave his house, which he did
The young lady believed that injustice
had been done to March, and she rode
to Trevillian's, several miles away,
in order to have an interview
there with him to ascertain from
his own lips whether the charges
against him were true. She spent the
night with the family Of Mr.. Hancock,
and the next morning March put in an
appearance. He drove up in q buggy
and asked if the young lady was there.
Mr.. Hancock said she was, but refused
to let him see her except in the pres
| ence of himself and wife. To this
| March agreed and o stormy interview
| ensued, at tho conclusion of which she
| dismissed him.
March SOON returned to the neigh or-
hood and. the young lady's father not
| being at home, Mr.. Chanler took the
matter in hand, and the tarring and
| feathering incident closed the chapter.
There is a rumor afloat to-day that
March has determined to appeal to the
British minister to demand redress for
him. Not much sympathy is felt for
March, and YET Mr.. Chanler's act is far
from receiving tho approval of this com
munity.

UnfrIendly to the Road.

From the Washington Post.
The Senate District committee gave
hearing yesterday afternoon to repre-
sentatives of the Norfolk and Western
Railway, as we'll as to representatives
of other railways, which propose to
have some voice in the matter OF the
entrance of the Norfolk and Western to
this city. About one hundred people
were present. and the committee room
was in consequence badly crowded.
Mr.. w. G. Bullet, chief attorney for
the Norfolk and Western, appeared for
his road, and stated the objections to
the various amendments proposed
Chief among them was the alteration
suggested by lines which wished to use
the bridge which the bill authorizes tho
Norfolk and Western to build at tho
Three Sisters.
Mr. Bond, representing the Richmond
and Danvillo, urged an amendment
which requires the Norfolk and West
ern to make connection with his road
some five miles below the Long Bridge
and enter the city upon the Richmond
and Danville track.
There was a lengthy discussion, but
nothing definite was reached. Tho
principal amendment to the bill as it
comes from the House is one requiring
it to enter the city above or below
grade, and to this the road seriously
objects, alleging that belo " grade would
force it to attempt the construction Of
an impossible route through swamp
land, and above grade would send it
above warehouses. much interfering
with business.
After adjournment Of the full COM
mittee the sub committee mot. 1t con-
sists Of Senators Faulkner, Mcmillan
and Gibson. For some reason or other
the composition OF this committee is said
to be decidedly unfavorable to the Nor
folk and Western. II is understood that
Senator Faulkner favors the bill, while
1t Is said that Senators Mcmillan and
Gibson oppose it. The sub committee
came to no conclusion, but will have a
report in readiness to lay before the
full committee, which meets on Friday
next,

AN ANT1-pRorEcrIoN ARGUMENT.

Senator Chandler, OF New Hampshire
diverted the Senate Monday by ar
raigning two Republican Senators
(Messrs. Hoar, OF Massachusetts, and
Platt, of Connecticut,) for putting for
ward against the anticipation bill con-
stitutional argument that would be
equally strong in its application to the
tariff law. He warned them that they
would be called upon to defend the tar
iii law in the next Congress if the Dem
ocrats were true to the platform on
which the Presidential ticket had been
elected, and he intimated that their con-
tention that taxes could only be i'm
posed for the purpose of revenue, not
for the purpose Of destruction, would be
fatal to high protective system.
The constitution has been perverted
from it's original lines by the decisions
of a Supreme Court on more than one
occasion, organized to partisan ends and
purposes. Yet the contention Of the
keen Republican Senator from New
Hampshire is deep one. Some con-
oui W. tiOhai obuoOhoo 0OhJ ouo AAb hO Va
the Government to tax save for revenue.
Certainly revenue is the first purpose of
tax, though two other objects have
been brought prominently into sight.
One is the restrictive tendency Of tax
alton as exemplified in high license
taxes, and the other the same idea car.
ried to it's extreme as in the pro .ective
tariff when certain taxes are so high as
to be prohibitive.
We are under the impression, how.
ever, that decision of Chief Justice
Marshall is on record wherein he de-
clares that the right to tax involves the
right to con6scate and destroy. We
fear the constltuti onal argument against
the protective tariff tax is unsound
Yet tariff reform is sure to come.
