It bas tweii asked, !n connection with recilt'tepdrts'that- tbeT "Virginia Mid landVBtiU adhered toita purpose to luild the extension : from Danville to Char lotte, what would -be the -advantage of such a connection beyond the access' gained to the belt of country lylng.be tween these two points, since on run ning its line Charlotte it would be cut off in the same manner as it is at Dan ville to-day. In reply, it may be said that when "thjeyreaci Charlotte, there will be the same motive for going fur ther as now prompts them them to go beyond Danville. We have heretofore .alluded to a proposition which is said to have originated in South Carolina, to build a road from Camden to Charlotte. The distance is less than that which it is proposed to cover between States- vUle and Danville. Arrived at Cam den they would have an advantageous connection with the South Carolina svstem with both Columbia and Charleston bv the South Carolina Rail road. It would do more. Only a day or two ago it was announced that the Georeia Railroad 'had been leased to the South Carolina and a tripartite al liance formed by which these two witn the Georeia Central could be operated as one system in the interest of the Louisville and Nashville. A line to Camden would then tap this whole sys tem. eivine access to Charleston, Au gusta, Columbia, Atlanta, Savannah, and all important points in Georgia. Whether a line of railroad represent ing the Baltimore & Ohio interest would meet with a friendly reception from this Southern system, we can net pre tend to sav. or if this could be distinct ly affirmed to-day, it would by no means Bignify that the same thing could be said at the time when the Camden con nection would be made. Still, it may be remarked that this alliance is inimi cal tothe Clyde Syndicate or Richmond & Danville corporation, and hence it is 'natural to supppose that it Would not object to an ally which is avowed ene my to the same corporation, particular ly since it would place an additional lever in their hands. All this, however, is only a suggestion intended to snow that the Virginia Midland might have an object in coming to Charlotte, even since it failed to secure the control of the Air Line. The Philadelphia American, edited tyW. R. Balch, offers $1,500 in prizes to American college students and grad' uates, for the best editorials, the best special essays and the best poems, writ ten by college students or college grad uates. There are two sets of prizes 21 in all offered by the American. One set is for college students only ; the sec ond set of prizes is for those who have been graduated from American col leges. The topics are not limited ; and all articles unsuccessful in the compe tition, but which reach the standard adopted by the A mericam, will be ac cepted by the editor for publication in the American and be paid for at regu lar rates ; thus, each competitor, if he can do anything at all with his pen, will not lose his labor. The judges of the editorial and essays will be active journalists of national reputation. Here is a chance for the college boys to show what is in them. If they do good work their efforts will not be vain even if they fail to secure a prize. The win ners of prizes will stand a good chance to secure employment upon other jour nals besides the American, and we ad vise the boys to off with their coats and enter into the competition. Female suffrage has almost come to be a reality in this country. A bill has actually passed both houses of the In diana Legislature conferring the right of suffrage at all elections upon women, and now only needs the signature of Gov. Porter to become a law. In the Senate the Democrats voted with the Republicans In favor of the bill, which originated and was championed by the latter party. The Legislature of Ne braska, by a three-fifths vote, submit ted a woman's suffrage amendment to the constitution of that State tothe popular vote. These are the days of reforms; are these the entering Wedges which will by continuous maul- ing split the country? That which a few years ago was ridiculed as an old maid sentimtnt and laughed at as the mushroom growth of disappointed hopes, appears to be about to enter as an important element of odr govern ment. Senator1 Brown, of Georgia, says that the efforts being made to run Fusion tickets in the Southern States against the regular Democracy will have the efecMtaniting . the latter and will really strengthen the Southern Demo cratic party. He says the Independents ot Georgia will not ally themselves With the Republicans, that any move to -Win . a Republican success under the guise of AFusion or so-called anti-Bour-bn coalition will send nearly all the Georgia Independents back into the tegular Democratic ranks. Senator Johnston has received a let ter from ex-Governor Kemper of Yir- ginia on- the subject of the pending question in the Senate. The . conclud ing paragraph of the letter is as follows i If the Democrats of the Senate triumph ) ndw, then 'the Democrats of Virginia : Will triamph next November, but any Step backward now means defeat next ! .

There have been so man; statements of the attitude of affairs In the Senate, by the speakers who axe daily attempt ing to give variety to the descriptions of the situation, that some confusion may exist as to what it really is. We do not remember to have seen it more concisely or forcibly stated than in the following, being an extract from a let- ,4r of the New York Sun's Washington correspondent: "Mahone s majority is tied up oy tne caucus, mat unseen out aespouc Eower holds it with a tight grip. Ma one has ordered .the party to stand in tne way to an executive uusiness ; vu block the wheels of the Senate ; to hang up two hundred and fifty nominations, and to interfere with the regular course of justice. "Tne party nas ooeyed orders, oe- cause the so-called 'constitutional ma jority" depends on Mahone's vote, and he demands tne election ot uornam ana Riddleberger as the condition precedent to any other action. The Democrats have daily proposed to go into executive session, so as to act upon the pending nominations and treaties. Tne isenate was convened for this object exclusive ly, and the committees were conceded to the Republican side in order to pre vent delay. "Rut Mahone will not consent to go on regularly. He tells his confederates plainly: 'I will not trust you out of sight.' Elect my men, according to the contract, and afterward you can com mand mv vote. If vou refuse I will bolt and leave you in a minority, when the Democrats can organize the com mittees.' "This is the true explanation of the deadlock. The Republicans have fallen into a trap, from which there is little prospect of escape at present. Some of them are weary of the contest, which becomes more odious the more it is ex posed. "The country wants peace and repose, and the bargain not only disturbs both, but it threatens a reopening: of tne whole sectional agitation in a new con troversy, tue end tne results or wnicn cannot be foreseen. "One man, and he an ex-Confederate, who declared in the Senate he had no apology to make for . having sought to destroy the Union, holds tne KepuDii can side in the hollow of his hand, He dictated the nominations of Gor ham. Riddlebersrer and the others. He commands the caucus from an adjoin ing room. He orders the party policy. Mahone is the Republican majority, Without him it could not exist. Hoar, Hawley. Dawes, Sherman, and the other Republican managers are the or gans of Mahone on the floor of the Senate. He gave them prominence on the committees, and he can reduce them to the ranks. Therefore they are his obedient servants." CURRENT FACTS AND CO.TI.T1EIVTS, The father of Hon. W. II. Robertson, recently nominated for collector of the port of New York, died Sunday last.

Tne Bemocrau Keepins; Hp lhe ir irresslTe Warfare Brown Ajroases Boar Washington, April 14. Senate. The Vice-President laid before the Senate the unfinished business, being the resolution for the election of offi cers of the Senate. Owing to the fact that there was ev idently no quorum present, Pendleton refrained from making bis usual mo tion to go into executive session. After a few moments, nowever, Da vis, of West Virginia, said that with the consent ot tne senator from Massa chusetts (Dawes) he would submit that motion. Dawes replied that he would prefer to take a vote, to which Davis rejoined by stating that if he waited for that he would wait until his hair was grayer than it was now. Dawes expressed his regret at hear ing such an unpatriotic remark. The motion to go into executive ses sion was lost, yeas 20, nays 21. Morgan then took the floor. He gave a brief resume of the debate in which the Senate had been engaged for the last twenty days. At first the Demo cratic side, not suspecting any inten tion to prostitute the high powers of the Senate to become a part of the ma chinery of a great political organiza tion, had thought that the Senators on the other side were greedy for a few officers ; that a mere scramble for office would be bad enough. But the next step in the debate had developed the fact that there was a coalition of fac tions to degrade the patronage of the Senate for the purpose of electing a successor to a gentleman on this floor (alluding to Johnston.) That fact had raised a spirit of indignation and re sentment throughout the country that the United States should use its patronage for the purpose of capturing Virginia and placing in this cham ber a man who would become more of a slave of the Republican party than any man who had ever had the privil age of disgracing a seat on this floor. He referred to Gorham and Riddleber ger as pot house politicians, brought here for the purpose of destroying the Democratic party and its policy. He therefore charged the other side with the purpose, of which the country was in no way ignorant, to abuse and prostitute the offices of the Senate for the purpose of making a campaign in Virginia, the object of which was to put in Senator Johnston's seat a man whom the Republicans could handle at their will and pleasure. He criticised the speech made some days ago by Sherman, and alluded to that Senator as taking the bit in his mouth, and, un der the guidance of Riddleberger and Gorham, marching up and attempting to justify the action of the Republican side. That justincation, according to the Senator, was a desire to break down the Democratic party; that the Senate should be put into political harness for the purpose of executing a plan like that. What could he (Morgan) call it but a prostitution or tne senate? it was nerfectlv apparent that the obiect of the Republicans was to supplant in the local governments of the South, carpet-baggers with the party which the Senator from Virginia claimed to lead.- - He referred to the Senate as sit ting here like a great debating commit tee, while the States were acting en tirely in harmony with each other. He did not know the State which had any quarrel with another. These tacts were a reproach to the United States Senate to-day, and a deadly reproach to those men who made it their business to get up and undertake to create an excite ment against the communities in the South which were laboring to do their duty. At the conclusion of Morgan's speech, Brown took the floor. At the close of the war he had, he said, taken a posi tion of absolute acquiescence in the re construction measures, and after the adoption of the 15th amendment he had favored a free ballot and a fair count. To-day the Democrats of Georgia stood fairly and squarely on that doctrine and practiced it. He then proceeded to criticise the Republican party for its injustice towards the colored race. There were seven cabinet ministers, he said, and yet not one of them repre sented the race, which composed one fourth of the Republican party. The Republicans need not be astonished if, when the Democrats met in grand council again, they should do the right to the negro as the Republicans had failed to do so. That was his opinion ; that was his advance line, and he was a Democrat right on that line. He would not do it for party purpose. He would advocate it because it was right. Referring to remarks rhade by several Republican Senators, that they desired to break up the solid South, he asserted that it could never be broken by any attempt to Republicanize it When the North was no longer solid; when no more was heard about Republicanizing the Southern States, the South would cease to be solid. Let an issue be pre sented, such as the tariff or currency, and the South would divide as soon as the North would, and without regard to the color line. Hoar, replying to Brown, said : That Brown, upon his election to the Senate, had taken an advanced position. An advanced position on what? On the subject of obeying the constitution, which every public officer in the South ern States had taken his oath to sup port That was a commentary on the statement that there was a free vote in the South. Brown suggested that in Massachu setts a class of people in whose control it was proposed to place Virginia, would not be allowed to vote. While the Senators from Massachusetts lec tured everybody else on the subject of suffrage and the right to vote, they did not practice it in their own State. A running and good-humored discus sion ensued between Hoar and Brown, which was kept up until Brown, mis understanding a statement made by Hoar, and a misquoting was excitedly interrogated by Hoar as to whether he implied that he (Hoar) had said what was not true. Brown denied any intention of mis stating the Senator's remark, and good humor was restored by Beck's simula ted fear that the Senate would lose both Senators from Georgia. The Sen ate soon after adjourned until Monday. Why tne Atlanta Bank Failed. Atlanta, Ga., April 14 The cause of the failure of the Citizen's Bank was the number of debits for which proper ty instead of money had been taken. This property could not be converted into cash, and the recent court decrees give the State priority in the settlement of bank claims, and this had the effect of alarming the depositors who made a rush and found the bank closed and an assignment made. It is thought the loss will not be severe. Tne Flood, at Yankton. Yankton, D. T., April 14.
