VIRGINIA.

1t is known that in all the culations made
on the Presidential election, VIRGINIA has been
uniformly set down BY both parties on the JACK
son side. The Hsroies, from the very trst,
claimed the State, and have continued TO assert
that their majority will be great and overwheim'
ing. The friends Of the Administration, how
ever, are about 10 make an effort, the result OF
which will as'onish their opponents. We have
all along stated our belief, that the good cause
was stronger in Virginia than many OF our
friends believed, and we are now confident we
shall not be deceived. A respectable and intel
lisen, gentleman Of Virginia has, at our request,
furnished US with the following table, which
exhibrs, as he thinks, the probable state Of po>
lilical opinion, and which we submit, with
sin gle observation This calculation is not
made by heated and violent par,izau, but by
a gentleman who would scorn 10 misrepresent,
and who comedies to Jackson all that reasona-
5ly can be claimed fthere are errors, they
are in giving the opposition TOO large majori'ies
in several Districts

MIR. ADA MS,

The following, related by Mr.. Handy, Trea.
surer Of the Second Presbyterian Church ia
Washington, gives an instance Of Mr.. Adams,
generosity and noblencss Of heart, and efftc,u>
ally puts to silence some Of the mean ealumnis,
Of his cnemies:-
"Mr. Adams rented pew in the Second Pres.
byterian Church, in Washington CITY, the Is,
Oct. 1922, at the rate Of $50 per annum aud
continued at tina, rate until. the lst Of April,
1925, when he purchased the pew for 82o5, Sub.
ice: 10 the annual rent Of $50 and the pew i;
now his property in fee simple.
On the eth Of May, 1928, he was elected by
the congreg ation one of The trustees, in which
capacity he served until Msy, 1925, being Two
years, during which time he was one Of The
most attentive members Of the Board During
the period Mr.. Adams was trustee, the Church
was involved in debt, and frequent me, tings VI
the Board were necessary TO devise ways and
means 10 relieve il. On one occasion, when
the Treasurer stated to the Board that The car.
penter was in much distress for his money, aal
would be compelled to sue The building COM
mittee, Mr. Adams said-"Genllemen, will
loan 5000, if the other members Of the Boalt
will loan an equal sum"-to make 8, 200 the
amount due 10 the carpenter on the CONTRACT
The other members required time to consider
,their means being Iimted}-Mr. Adams SAD
off the treasurer will call on me, he shall at
once have the $500" The pastor OF the church
feeling lively interest in the concerns Of The
cnurch, called himself on Mr.. Adams fIr The
money, who asked where the other 5000 was
to n eS%ss da moi TX oow BE nHdsm: mms
aiely drew check for the whole amount.
Sl2oo. This SUM has been reduced, from time
to time, by the payment to Mr.. Adams Of small
sums. The treasurer has several times ex.
pressed to Mr.. ADAMS that the board of Trus.
tees feared he would think unfavorabIy Of them
tor their delay in payment, but Mr. Adams has
always said, gentlemen, make yourselves easy
pay me when you can" The last time this
subject was mentioned TO him, he told the r:ea
su'er TO "pay The Other debts first"

DELAWARE JOURNAL.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
EriAay, May %, 1S2S.

The General Of Beeves, and the " respectable
Mr. Jarvis" Editors of the Washington Telegraph,
talk about the - movement of the people, in New
England in favour of General Jackson This same
manouvre was tried till the last moment, in the year
1924, in this State, when the Legislature of Della
ware was convened to give their votes for electors.
1t may deceive some people. and keep up the spirits
of others I; but no man of common intelligence or
prudence will suffer himself to be imposed upon by
such statements. Jackson, without Doubt has
friends in New England, but they will not be able
to give any assistance, evident from the state
of the polls and other circumstances.
This deception of the Telegraph, copied by their
loving cousin the Patriot, is scarcely de(ensible,
even to draw of public attention from the fact, pub
lished in our last that at Nashville, under the very
nose of the General, public meeting has been held
preparatory to convention, to nominate an eector
favourable to the election of Mcssrs. Adams and
Rush.

We take the following from the Baltimore Patriot
Of the 10Th inst.
Extract Of letter from member of Congress to
his friend in Baltimore, dated
Washington, May l6, 1923.
" Our accounts from all quarters are of the most
cheering and anmating characteristic. Adams will
be reelected by triumphant vote. Late accounts
from Kentucky put it beyond a,doubt that MIR. Adj
will have the vote Of that State, by very hand
some majority. l rejoice to hear the friends of
peace, virtue, and religion and civil power are up
and doing. Perseverance to the end will certainly
secure great moral triumph over the contemplated
military power.

which merits the censure Of the House.
Resolved, That it is not expedient to have any
further proceedings in this case.
Mr.. P. p BARBOUR, from the same Committee,
made the following report:
The minority of the Select Committee, to which
was referred the message of the President in rels-
ton to an ASSAULT committed by Russell Jarvis, upon
his private Secretary, whilst they concur with the
majority in the results which they report of the ev-
idence and, also, in the expression of their dsap-
probation of the assault, in reference to the time
gohen, and the place aohere, it was committed, beg
leave to state their decided and unqualified dissent
from that resolution of the report, which athrms the
power of this House to punish the assault in ques-
tion as being breach ofpriyilege, and contempt;
and to present condensed view OF the reasons
which have conducted them to this conclusion.
Here follow three columns for which we have
not ROOM
The minority have felt that they owed it to them
selves to state the grounds OF their opinion, upon
great question of Constitutionallaw, which. to-day
is the case of Russell Jarvis, but which may be the
case OF any citizen in the Union.
Under the influence of these considerations, they
recommend the following resolution
Resolved, That it is not competent to the House
of Representatives to punish Russell Jarvis for the
assault upon the private Secretary OF the fresiden
as for contempt to the House.
