THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 12.
That Suit for a Million.?Mention has
been made of the fact that suit has beeo
brought in the Dame of Hoo. Alexander H.
Stephens against the Western and Atlantic
| .Railroad Company and Mr. HazleburBt, of
? Georgia, to recover one million of dollars. It
appears, however, that Mr. Stephens never au
thorized this >uit, and from facts now made
public it sc-eius that the case has no basis. At
the time thu company was formed to lease the
ioad from the State Mr. Stephens applied to
Gov. Brown, as his friend, to get him an in
terest iu the lease. Bruwn inststed on this iu
the formation of the company, and secured the
interest for Mr. Stephens. Soon alter the
lease was made it wad intimated that there was
something fraudulent about it, and Mr. Ste
phens, not caring to face the storm, conveyed
his interest back to the State. After be bad
returned it Governor Bullock, acting under the
law, which required lum to lease the whole
road, was unwilling to/make the State a part
ner in the lease, aud, with the consent of the
lessees and their securities, he substituted Mr.
Haz'.ehurst for Mr. Stephens. It is also learn
ed that while there vzas assigned to Mr. Ste
phens one-half ot a share, it was done with the
understanding that he convey half of that to
S. K. Johnson, Superintendent of the Georgia
Road, which Mr. Stephens did. The interest,
therefore, which he conveyed back to the State
is but one fourih of a share, or one-ninety
second part of the whole, and for the profit on
which one million of dollars has been claimed.
According to this claim, the lessees must have
made ninety-two million dollars of profit up to
this time, an evident impossibility.
Colling wood Co operative Homestead
Association.?The Washington Chronicle of
this morning says : An adjourned meeting of
this association was held last evening iu the
Board of Trade rooms,. W. H. Snow-Jen in the
chair; M. A. Tappan, secretary. Much inter
est and enthusiasm ?were manifested. The

discussed by Colonel Daniels Colonel Chase,
Mr. Nelson, Mr. Tappan, W.H. Suowdeu, and
others. All agreed that the establishment of
a suburban place on the banks of the Potomac,
easily accessibly at convenient times and sea
sons, where the proprietors could enjoy all the
advantages of country and city bleuded, wa> a
great and growing need of our citizens. The
association adjourned lor one week, contem
plating at that time tp take immediate steps
for a permanent organization.
