For a proper understanding of the difficulties atthe meeting of the stockholders of this im- portant company, held at Alexandria on the 15th iust., we copy from the money article of the New York Jerald, of Saturday, .he follow- ing, which is 4 full and doubtless reliable statement: The Board of Public Works of Virginia hay- ing called a meeting of the stockholders of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad Company for the purpose of electing a president and three directors tor the ensuing year, they according- ly assembled on the 15th inst. at Alexandria, Ya., for the purpose of organization. A com- mittee of nine was appointed to examine prox- jes; but they found such a mass of proxies to examine that they reported they could not be ready to decide upon them &s soon as request- ed. In the meantime the’proxy ofjF.L. Barreda, now in London, and formerly Peruvian Min- ister to this government, was presented by his friend and attorney, G. L. Fowle, of the firm of Fowle & Co., of New York. (Great efforts had been made qy Mr. John S. Barbour (the former president of the road) and his friendsto induce Mr. Fowle to cast his heayy yote in their favor, it having been pretty well ascer- tained that his own and Mr. Barreda’s yote would elect whomsoever received it. Finding Mr. Fowle firm in kis decision to effect a change in the old management of the road, a majority of the committee on proxies decided, by the most remarkable exercise of arbitrary power over individual rights, to reject Mr. arreda’s vote, upou the ground of his proxy being too general in its character. Upon this decision being made known, Mr. McKenzie, one of the committee, immediately announced his determination to retire from the meeting, and declined to take further part in its proceed- ings. The friends of Andrew Jamieson, the opposing candidate for the presidency, finding that they controlled a considerable majority of the stock, ‘assembled the same evening, and organized the meeting by the appointment of Robert H. Miller, of Alexandria. as chairman, and Reuben Johnston, of Alexandria, as sec- retary. Messrs. McKenzie, Fowle, and Smith were appointed a committee of proxies, who reported as present :— Totes.

Fowle, of New York; Philip Quigley, of Delaware, and Robt. H. Mil- ler, of Alexandria, directors on the part of the private stock. The three State directors are yet to be appointed by the Governor. The conclusion to be arri at by the course of the old managers of this company (and who were the managers at the time of the secession of the State) is that they must be allowed to rule or ruin. Ihe efforts made have been of the most persistent character to again get possession of this important improvement. They bave been defeated. Had it not been for the efforts of Philip Quigley, of Delaware, to get this road into operation promptly after it was turned over to the State Land War Department, it would not now hare nin the good condition it is; and it was expressly understood by the Government that it was in no event to be turned over to the State to its old managers, and this was the reason Gov. Pierpomt ap- pointed Philip Quigley and Andrew Jamieson to manage its affairs. This election was or- dered by Goy. Pierpoint at the request of these gentlemen.

They were escorted by Yright and Spanier’s band, and bore some wenty banners, great and small, some of them vy ry handsome, and with appropriate inscrip- tons. The sodality of the immaculate Con- cophon of St. Aloysius Church, numbering 0 persons, followed with this delegation. Sth. St. Mary's Church, (Alexandria,) num- bering 300. 6th. St. Mary’s MaleOrphan Asylum, 50 boys, in charge of two sisters—an exceedingly inter- esting spectacle. The St. Matthew's and St. Patrick's Soci- eties did not participate in the ceremonies, as, unfortunately, they were not notified in time tor them to get their children in readiness. The procession proceeded along 4 street, vuder the chief marshalship of the Rev. Father Wiget, with a number of assistants, to the Island, and thence to the site of the ceremo- nies. Here they were joined by the large and handsomely marshaled schools of St. Domi- nie’s, bs seer passed the church front and along F street to 7th, up 7th to l, along D to 6th (round the church square) and thence to the church lot, the clergy following the schools, and the congregation and others coming next. The procession entered the grounds precedea by the cross-bearer accompanied by the aco- lytes, and proceeded to the cross erected, where appropriate ceremonies were performed. They then proceeded to the site of the corner-stone, where the usual ceremony of blessing it ac- cording to the Catholic ritual took place. The stone was lowered to its place with the hand of Father Young upon it, in obedience to the injunction of the rubric which requires the hand of the officiating priest thus to put it into its place—ponit ipsum primarium lapidem in fun- damento. Psalms were chanted, the saints were in voked, and especialty St. Dominic, the patron saint of their order, and the blessing of God fervently supplicated upon the work. As the stone rested in its place, the officiating Father, in the language of the rubric, said: “In fide Jesu Christi collocamus Lapidem istum pri- marium in hoc fundamento, in nomine Patris, et Fil, et Spiritus sancti, ut vigeat vera fides hic, et timor Dei, fraternaque dilectio”"—In the faith ot Jesus Christ we place this first stone in this foundation in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, that true taith, and the fear of God, and fraternal affec- tion, may here flourish.” Inclosed in a glass vessel to be deposited in the stone were a copy of each eo ublished in this city, and of the leading Catholic journals of the country, viz: The Baltimore Mirror, the New York Tablet, Freeman’s Journal, and the Metropolitan Record of New York, and “Der Wahrheitsfreund,” Cin- cinnati. The case also contained specimens of each denomination of the fractional currency of the coin of the country, from a dollar down- ward, and a variety of emblems peculiar to the Catholic Church A parchment containing an inscription in Laun, o1 which the following transiation, was also sealed up in the glass : “A. D., November 19, 1565.—Pins IX Govern- ing the Roman Ustbolic Church. The Arch- bishop of Baltimore being the Most Rev. John Martin Spalding, D. D.; the Master-General of the Order of Friar’s Preachers, our Most Rev. Father Vincent Alexander Jandel: the Superior of the Province of St. Joseph, the Very Rev. W. Dominic O'Carroll, O. S. D.: President of the United States, Andrew Johnson; Mayor of Washington, D.C., Richard Wallach. “This temple, sacred to St. Dominic, founder ofthe Order of Friar’s Preachers, is commenced anew, the former one having become too small for the increased Catholic population, accord- ing to plans furnished by P. C. Keely, Esq., under the care and management of the local Superior, Rev. John Albert Bokel, O. S. D., Very Rey. N.D. Young, ex-provinaal, Rev- J. fd Lynch, Rev. H. P. ph, and Kev. P. C. Call, O. S. D., being his assistants.” The corner-stone, a handsome block of white marble, was contributea by Richard Morgan, Esq. After the corner stone nad been laid the cler- gy passed along the foundations of the new church blessing the same. The clergy officiat- ing, or present on the occasion were Rey. J. A. Fokel, O.S. D., pastor of St. Dominic; Very Rev. N. D. Young, O. S. D; Rev. Father Clarkson, O. S. D., (formerly pastor at St. Dominic's, now Prior of St. Joseph's Convent, Ohio:) Rev. Father John H.

Father Boyle, (orator of the day) pastor of St. Peter's Church: and Rey. Father McCarthy, assistant pastor at St. Pat- rick’s Church. Upon the conclusion of this ceremony the clergy mounted a platform erected by the bel- fry, holding the new bell, when Rev. Father Boyle proceeded to make a sbort and highly appriate address, epeating that portion of the rubric which ‘we baye quoted, he said that the first stone in the structure had been laid in faith, and in the great name of the August Trinity. They had come there for no hectare gee The doc- trine of the incarnation of our blessed Lord should be here solemnly recognized. The Church is itself but a mystic prolongation of the incarnation. The Church is herself the incarnation. Christ is the chief corner-stone. The worship of Christ incarnate is the pur- seed for which this building is to rise from this foundation-stone. Elsewhere a keen — hension that Christ is the Son of God ani for sinners may suffice. The Catholic Church demands of her children much more. The Di- vine Sacraments are here recognized as the agencies or sacred rites through which lostman can alone be sayed. The Church has always been accustomed, said the eloquent and rever- end speaker in concluding, to build temples ‘worthy of the great God who dwelis in them. This is thesecret of the splendor of her wor- ship. It isthe home where the spiritual wants of her children are supplied. Build here a spiritual home worthy yourself and of the e@fse, and in this and in many good works xr 4 you make sure of your vocation to Eternal ife. Rey. Father Bokel, in conclusion, expressed the gratitude of the fathers and congregation of St. Dominic’s at the large attendance on the occasion, and fer the generous contributions made by the assemblage in behalfof the charch enterprise. He invoked their further kind sid in bebalf of the fur to be opened at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall Tuesday night for the same objeet. The ceremonies off in the most satis- factory manner, and considering the immense crowd in attendance and the great pressure, it is & matter of wonder that not the slightest ac- cident occurred to mar the interest of the occa~ sio1 Mayor Wallach and a large number of prom- inent citsens of Washington were amongst those in attendance.
