LOCAL MATTERS.
Tiik Co>**oM1?ation Smikmk ? Mkrtivo
? op tiik Board of Pim.ic Works.? The ad.
; journed meeting of thy Board of Public
i Works took place in the Senate chamber
; of the capitol on yesterday, commencing
at 9 o'clock.
A conversational discussion ahonithe
j order of speaking took place, at twfcon
| cli"?it?ii of which it was agreed that the
speaker* on the different sides of the con
, solidation question should follow earh other
I alternately.
i Governor Peirpoint railed attention to a
report in the Richmond Times newspaper
which contained inaccuracies, and which
utterly misrepresented some of the state
ments he had made the day before.
Colonel August said a correct report had
{appeared in the Dispatch.
Mr. Preston, of Washington, arose to
participate in the discussion of the consoli
dation question before the Board, lie said
that there were questions of private feel- i
ing agitated which have no connection
| with this matter. The connection of Mr.
; Owen or General Mahone with these roads
has nothing to do with this question. It
j matters not whether they havo worn armor
on the battle-field or not, for, in my 1mm
j hie opinion, after both are dead, the sun
I will continue to rise and set as usual. This
I personal question is too small. If these
! men cannot agree, then get men who can.
What interest is it that asks that the policy
1 of the past shall be ignored f You are all
j familiar with the fact that anti-internal
j improvement once reigned in Virginia. It
stood separate and apart from the people,
1 and, like the Pharisee of old, thanked (lod
j it was not as other men. It comes now to
; take us in it? arm* and embrace it* Whether
' we will or not. But I adhere to the old
system of improvements. It turns out that
i tr, were seeking for an outlet to t ho sea,
and were opposed by them ; and yet we are
' now a?kcd to take them to our bosom. We
1 contend that such road ha*> its own direc
tors, president, ami stockholders to
I itself. I deny that the policy of
1 Virginia is to give growth to particu
' lar cities, and contend thai the re
1 venues from its great resources are to
i be added to the wealth of the whole Sf :ito.
I R<*ad the preamble to the charter of the
Virginia and Tennessee railroad, and you
| will see its great resources wen* intended
' to be added to the wealth of the whole
State, lie disagreed v.iili the views ex
pressed by the President of the Hoard of
Public Works ; they were as full of mis.
i chief as Pandora's box. lb- denied their
| correctness. Virginia's policy has been al
' ways ft) be faithful and true to the pledges
j she has made. There arc charter and
vested rights which this Hoard is bound to
respect. Are we to be told that4, vox
! populi vox Dei." Sir. I respect the feel
ings of the people, but I know that the
: t 'onMitution ami the law have proved not
! strong enough to prevent wrong and out.
I rage. The Virginia internal improvement
policy has ignored the one-man power ?
, the Governor of Virginia has never been
I allowed the veto power. Who are the
' people to whom power belongs t Are tfoey
the people who reside along the line of
| the Southsideand Norfolk and Petersburg
railroads ? The people of the Southwest
j are opposed to it, and so are the people on
the Orange and Alexandria and Virginia
Central railroads. And yet you are a?ked,
! within two months' time of the nice!
ing of tin* Legislature, to inaugurate ;
a new system for the benefit of
; Norfolk! Why. Norfolk docs not occupy '
the position of a respectable depot on the :
route t'roni Memphis to New York. And '
yet Norfolk is discriminated against, and
Richmond too. With Petersburg it is dif
ferent and better, for she is situated ??n i
j the line that trade must take. There is j
; another tiling. The enormous debt that j
Virginia contraeted for interim! improve- '
incuts was not eontraeted with a view of i
operating against eities which command ?
I trade ? and yet this will be the elfect of
j consolidation. 1
1 This discrimination has been made in j
the green tree. What will it be in the 1
dry ? what will it be when the consolida- ;
j tion asked* for is completed. The con- ?
solidation scheme is a novel one, and not '
! born on Virginia soil, nor will it live here, j
| Mr. Goode, of Norfolk, had insisted that j
this consolidation would aid Virginia cities, j
The speaker disagreed with him. The idea !
j is not merely a harmless mistake? it is* a |
destructive one. It is directly opposed to i
the policy of Virginia, which has. been to j
leave these questions with those whose j
; money has been invested in the works.
The State has 81.400,000 in the James
River and Kanawha eanal, and other I
works to a heavy amount ; yet you are
asked to favor works which are not worth
one-third of the amount. It is certain that
whatever of ability may have been dis
played in forwarding this scheme, there I
lias not been much of modesty.
In view of these and other facts, he asked |
that just helbro the meeting of the Legis
j lature the board would not sanction
placing this trade at the disposal of a
j steamship company at Norfolk. Who they
I were he did not know, but lie was certain
they would Heece the State. Why should
| the pasi policy of the State be ignored for
an imaginary benefit, which, unreal as it
was, no one dreamed would redound to the
henctlt of Virginia cities, and which would
actually be subversive of their interests.
Shall you ii.steti to a demand from a quar
ter where these wrongs are to be perpe
trated, or will you listen to the voice of a
majority of the people of Virginia.
General Mahonc was induced, he said, to
speak at this stage of the proceedings be
cause of the interpretation his distinguish
ed friend had put upon this movement.
Mr. Preston had said that it was proposed
to conduct the trade between the -North
and the Mississippi Valley to the prejudice
of Virginia cities. While it was true that
goods were carried from New York to
Memphis, yet it was equally true that from
Lynchburg to Memphis three dollars was
charged. He demanded to know why the
Virginia and Tennessee railroad made these
charges? this discrimination against Vir
ginia cities. He challenged any one to
show that the Norfolk and Petersburg and
Southside. railroads ever discriminated
against Virginia cities, lie dcuicd that
tiie Southside railroad has charged more
on freight lrom Richmond than it did on
freight from Petersburg. He had always
advocated equal rights to the cities of Vir
ginia, and had advocated it in the conven
tion which adopted the combination tariff.
The consolidation had opposition at Knox
villc in carrying the trade to and from New
York. The" only way to tight that was to
have pro rota rates. Go on further, to
Nashville and Memphis, and we have
the same stato of things. look at
the Virginia and Toqnessee railroad, and
you find that they look upon Richmond
nnd other Virginia cities as way-stations,
and charge them for local freight just what
they please. All this was to be remedied
under and by combination or consolidation,
if they chose so to call it. When iu that con
vention 1 insisted that no discrimination
?honld he made against Virginia eitiee iu
Diyot of aorllMra ?IU?. I wm met with
the answer, "Well, if you can't take
these rat ns we will take tliem to the Oranjff
ami Alexandria railroad." After contend,
itig as long as there was any hope in con
tention for our release from this discrimi
nation, I introduced in the Senate the
Facility hill, which provided for the ftce
circulation of cars over mads connecting
Virginia cities with tho Mississippi Valley.
The Virginia and Tennessee railroad then
made every effort to defeat the hill, which
would have done everything that itSfriends
now claim can l>e done without combina
tion. The Richmond and Danville railroad
also opposed it.
Colonel August. ? Could you have got
ten a through ticket on the canal and Vir
ginia and Tennessee railroad by that bill '
General Malione. ? Ves, sir.
Colonel August.? Could you get a
through ticket over tho Kichmond and
Danville railroad ?
General Mahone. ? Ves, sir, by that bill;
bat the Danville people opposed it. They
Wanted to be out of the family altogether.
In the meeting of the Virginia and Ten
nessee stockholders, all we have asked was
that the commissioners should have the
privilege of speaking before it and ex
plaining the merits ol the plan ? a freo dis
cussion. This combination proposes no
consolidation of stocks, or debts, or reve
nue. It means to leave all those things as
they now stand. It means that the Vir
ginia and Tennessee railroad shall give the
ftuhic terms to the canal and to the South
side ami all other Virginia railroads.
Something had been said about its being a
grand trunk railroad. It is a grand trunk
.to dump out everything at Lynchburg.
And that's the State policy, is it To let
everything run loose ? No, sir! The Le
gislature made the guages the same,
and contemplated making the "trunk"
help out some other lines, and letting them
in turn help it out. A-- for the details of
the combination, which had been asked
phoiit yesterday, they may be attended to
af'ter the great work of combination is done.
That combination meant that firo rata rates
should prevail all along the line. He
scouted the idea tlini it would drive off
travel or freight from the Virginia and
Tennessee railroad. So lar from th.it.
it could not l<e expected that roads
which were working with it. and in a mea
sure dependent upon it for their support,
would do anything which would lessen its
business.
Mr. Shelley. jo? Smyth county, said that
the receipts oj,^e Virginia and Tenncs^e
railroad amounted to ?'j;(.uuu a week, and
this wa> w hilt' the countrx hail* been de
vastated from Mississippi to Norfolk. And
in view of this fact we liud Norfolk, with ?i
new-born love, sending commissioners to
woo by proxy this Queen of the West.
The speaker came representing the \ ir
jrinia and Tennessee railroad as a corpora
tion and himself as .1 stockholder. The
question now discussed involved the inau
guration by the Hoard of Public Works of
a system which was new and untried. He
referred to Governor F??rp? >int's past his
tory and the help that he had extended to
the people of Virginia in preventing their
oppression, and hoped that he would not
now aid *111 oppressing a portion of tin* peo
ple of the Slate who were opposed to the
measure. He denied the right of the
Hoard of Public Works, the creation of
the Legislature, to do what the Legislature
itself did n? ?t dare do. They themselves
existed by default. The law prescribes
that they should be commissioners elected
from each of the three great districts of the
State. They were not commissioners;
they had never been elected ; their olli
cial life would end iti six weeks if tho Le
gislature which is to meet does its duty
under the Constitution ami orders an elee
t Ion . And yet in this, tin* tost six weeks t
of your ollieisd ?'igony, Norfolk asks von to j
toy yptir hands on three great State iin- 1
provenient*.
He proceeded t<? discuss, lirst. the pow
ers of t he Hoard <d Public Works; second,
the policy, il* they had the power; and
third, whether tliev should exercise that
power if they lud it.
The Hoard, he thought, had no right to
instruct proxies, imr .should they do what
was the same thing ? appoint proxies in
favor of consolidation. Who is this 41 mas- 1
ter head, and mind, and hand'' that is to
manage tins consolidated road ' We arc !
not told, hut we are left to guess. Well, i
it' a railroad president gives evidence that
he can manage a road well. 1 will join
hands with him. President Owen, of the I
Virginia and Tennessee railroad, has J
proved that he is a man who can manage !
a railroad. When that road was torn up
from Bristol to Lynchburg lie went to work, i
and in an incredibly sh<>rt time had the
track repaired, and new iron upon it, and
the ears running the wlude length of the
lfne. He kept up the financial atlairs of ,
the company with great ability ; and now !
its receipts are over ?1.000,000 a year,
though the country through which it runs j
has been devastated by war.
The speaker could not reconcile the idea j
of consolidation with the independence of
the separate companies included in it. The ;
law declares that they shall have one pre- j
sident each, and that the board of direc- !
tors shall appoint all ollicers to conduct
the business of the roads. The speaker
read the law on the subjei t l<> show that J
? ach railroad was guaranteed the entire j
control of its own business, and with that ;
control the Legislature itself was debarred 1
from interfering. Suppose this consolida
tion was carried out with one president at ,
the head of all three companies, and the '
Norfolk and Petersburg and Southside '
roads were to swallow up the receipts of,
the Virginia ami Tennessee railroad, who
would rectify this wrong? What head oft
a company would be sued for it { liow
could one man bring suits if president of
ail the roads f
Lynchburg subscribed *000,000 to the
Virginia and Tennessee railroad, and Rich
mond $200,000, and of the ?1,2011,000 to be
subscribed, ?'J00,000 was raided, of which
Norfolk contributed nal o?<- dollar, nor has
she ever subscribed a dollar to it. And
now this gallant old grey-headed Duke of
Norfolk conies to this beautiful Princess
of the West and wants an alliance. He
says he will build up the country. We
don't want him to build it -up. Wo will j
extend our lines to the country washed by '
the waters of the Ohio. The Virginia and 1
Tennessee railroad a grand trunk in i
every sense of the word. It has no rival, j
It stretches its arms to the Mississippi and
Ohio, and is the pride of now poor but '
glorious Virginia. The law prohibits the
taking away or impairing the rights of any j
road ; and it cannot be doue even by the
Legislature, much less bv the Board of i
Public Works. Wheu did anybody confer
powers on any set of men that it did not
possess himself. If any man got such j
power over three roads In Virginia as this i
proposition designs to give him, he would
hardly rest until he had obtained control
of every road in the State.
Mr. Shefley expressed his general view ;
of the internal improvement policy of the
State, concurring iti the liberal ideas of the
Governor expressed in his last message,
lie regretted the tree manner in which
rights of way had been granted at the last
session of the Legislature, and would have
opposed that along the Valley iVom Win
chester to Salem. But the rights thus
given were vested rights, and could uot be
disturbed.
The multiplicity of the rival routes, aM
competing lor U? tradt W Up Virginia and
Tennessee railroad, wa? no go?nl reason for
interfering with the veste?l rights of that
road. The policy of that road was to treat
them all alike, and npon a footing of en
tire equality. He exclaimed most em.
phnticully against surrendering that road
to one of the rivals and subjecting its for.
tunes to the straits and exigencies of that
one. Under the active competition car. ,
ried on by them, the Virginia and Ten.
nessn railroad might be forced by consoli- ;
dation to carry freight at less than the cost
of the motive power employed, to the
serious injury or ruin of the road and the ;
interests of the stockholders. *
He quoted from the eontract of the pre- '
sent consolidation or agreement between |
the several roads for through freight to |
i show that the Norfolk and Petersburg rail- ,
road in that contract stipulated to repre
sent the steam line from Norfolk to Balti
more. New York, Philadelphia, and Bos. 1
ton. By that contract General Mahone ;
became tiie embodiment and very incar
nation of the corporation. He asked, with j
such powers and sneli alliances, was it not j
natural that he (General Mahone) should
run both through and way freight, if possi
ble, all the way through, and that he
1 should give every facility to their final ;
shipment to northern cities.
Mr. Shetfey contended that the only
benefit from "consolidation" would be !
conferred upon the Southside and Norfolk !
and Petersburg railroads. Noue of the I
Virginia cities would be benefited. The
freight would sweep by them all, ami he j
shipped off to the North by the strain line
represented by General Mahone, and the |
travel by the Atlantic Shore railroad, |
which was nearly completed to Northamp- j
ton, on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, and i
whose first connection with Norfolk by |
steamer took place this week. This he
considered to lie the inevitable result of,
that proposed consolidation which was to
place a flourishing corporation, as was the J
Virginia and Tennessee railroad, under the i
control of a sinking concern." He in
veighed against such a measure as this 1
and the placing of .so much power in the
hands of one man. as was contemplated by '
the "consolidation." lie dreaded *the |
'?one-man " power, lie had seen its op
pression in the war. when the railroads!
were placed under the control of one man. j
He then saw whole communities down- 1
Irtddcn under the heel of an irresponsible
i r/rann> .
j XMr. Shcil'ex adjured the Bosird to do no j
such thing as this ? to aid in the eonsum- '
inatioti of no measure which would reduce
to the condition of a dependency on New \
York the State whose interest it w;is their
duty to protect : that grand old Knipire
State in mind, in spirit, in physical wealth,
and all the elements of a great common
wealth.
The Board adjourned its meeting until
S o'clock P. M. There are several speak
ers yet to discuss the question, which
grows in interest.
KVKMN'li >KSS|o\.
I At 8 o'clock the Board met according to
adjournment.
James Barbour. Ksq., was the first
speaker. He said that few questions of
more importance had come before any as
sembly. This effort for consolidation had
been brought before the General Assem
bly of Virginia, but they had not thought
proper to grant the consolidation now ask
ed at the hands of the Board of Public
Works, I urged that the Bo.ird should
wait sixty days, until tin- Legislature should
meet. The members of that body will
come fresh from the people, and know
their will on this matter. Something the
Board of Public Works could not know,
lie entered int<? a legal argument to show
that this consolidation could not be made
without violating tin* plighted faith of the i
State. If tin* Board passed t his thing the
courts would >et the law .

Suprkmk Court ok Appeals.?' This tri
bunal was in session yesterday? Judges
Moncure, Joynes, and Hives being present.
The only case heard was an appeal from
the Circuit Court of Powhatan in behalf
or a negro who was sentenced to the peni
tentiary for three years for .stealing hogs.
Mavor'h Court? Mayor Mayo presi
ding. ? The following cases were disposed
of in this court yesterday :
George Saunders, negro, was arraigned
to answer a charge of stealing a watch
from another negro, wllo stated that while
he was on the way to the '-suckuv' on the i
night previous, a lady asked hint what time
it was. Ho pulled out his watch for the
purpose of giving the desired information,
when the accused snatched it out of his
hand and rau oil'. The theft was proved
by another negro, but George said that he
could produce a witness in the i>erson of
one Andrew Cox who would swear that
he was not in the neighborhood where the
watch was alleged to have been stolen ou
the night in question. A policeman went
for this witness, but failed to tiud him.
The prisoner was sent on to the Hustings
Court for trial, and bail refused. Saunders
is one of the witnesses introduced the
other day by the Freed men's Bureau to
prove that John Browu didn't steal a cap
from Mr. Pinkus.
William Lee, very black, aud dressed in
a blue uniform overcoat, was up ou the
charge of trespassing ou the premises of Mr.
William Palmer. In default of security
for bis future good behavior he w as ?' set
back." He told the Mayor that his real
name was ' William Leake Dennis Robin
son."
James Clarke, fauey-lookiug mulatto,
charged with threatening to shoot George
II. Nichols, white, was arraigned, but
owing to thettbsence of witnesses the case
was postponed until this moruing.
Arrkbt.? Ilexekiah Macklin was nr.
rested yesterday and incarcerated in the
first station-house on a charge of beating
his wife. He will be brought lie fore the
Mftjfor this morning for examination,
Negro Shot.-? We learn tliat a gentle
man near the city, while going the roundf
of his grounds a few evening* since, came
across a hag partially filled with cabbage.
Knowing that something wrong was going
on. he determined to find out who was the
thief. He accordingly got bis gun, aud
taking a position near the spot, prepared
to await the appearance of the rogue. He i
had not been " in position " but a short 1
time when a nojrro man came up with an !
additional lot of cabbages in a tub, and
emptying them into the bag. he immediate- j
ly placed the bag on his head and started ;
off. The gentleman then made his pre- j
sence known by ordering the negro to halt. '
Instead of doing so, however, he threw I
down his bag. fie was agaiu ordered to \
halt or he would be fired at, and the negro |
still tunning, the gentleman fired. The
negro did not stop ruuning,but as the gen
tleman was only some thirty or forty yards
oft when he fired, he is confident that he
struck the fellow. The rogue is known,
and if he attempts the like again may not
fare even so well as on this occasion.
Died of Starvation-. ? A negro woman
was found dead yesterday $bout half-past
1 o'clock on Main street between Twenty
first and T went v .second, and from tho facts
presented there cau be no doubt that she
died of starvation. This is a comment
upon the Freediuen's Bureau which it is
perfectly unnecessary to enlarge upon.
We may say, however, that no such cases
were known while the American citizens
of African desccut were in e state of ser
vitude. ?
Attempted Ui'Rcr.ART. ? On Wednesday
night an attempt was made to break into
the Masonic Hall, No. fill Marshall street,
between Sixth and Seventh. Tho would
be burglar, however, was interrupted in his
nefarious business by an approaching citi
zen, and made tracks incontinently.
Stolen* Property Recovered.?' The
copper boiler of a still which was stolen
from the front of Mr. Pelarue's locksmith,
ing e>tal4ishment, on Sixth street, a night
?>r two ago, was found yesterday at Mr.
Arnold's shop, on ('ary street between
Kighth aud Ninth. A gentleman engaged
in the concern identified the article as
one which he had seen lying on the pre
mises for some time past, and detained it,
but sullercd the thief to depart.
" Wot si?ki>. ? Two bovs got into a fight on
Seventh street yesterday, ami belabored
each other with some earnestness. 'The
two boys were of different sizes, one be
ing large and the other small. At the
height of the rencontre the big boy drew
a knife, and throwing it, struck his Lillipu
tian antagonist in the thigh, indicting a
painful though not mortal wound. After
this demonstration the two young bellige
rents separated, and no arrest ij.n been
made.
Prni.n* Temperance Meeti&j. ? A pub
lic temperance meeting, under the au
spices of Springfield Division, No. 1(11,
