CORRESPONDENTS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. D, 1910.
Dear At the expiration of the hour for
resolutions and presentation of petitions, the Sen
ate adjourned because it had nothing to do -
An act was read establishing mail route from
New Orleans 10 Galveston and Corpus Christi,
and inland this was the only act of a public ma
tnre of any importance in the Senate, and that has
not yet passed.
After the adjournment Of the Senate, took my
seat in the House, and found Mr. Gddings of
Ohio. speaking on the Oregon question. | deem
1t OF no consequence 10 follow this gentleman
through all his twaddle, and confne myself to but
a single sentence. Mr.. Giddings remarked, that
in the event Of war with England, the northern
people would stand aloOf, aud that not northern
heart would beat with sympathy for the South
they would laugh and mock them. He would
only vote for the notice to be given to England on
the joint cupancy-5ecause he believed it
would give the North Canada, Nova Scotia, &c 81.
and restore the balance Of power between the
North and South, which had been lost by the An.
nexaion Of Texas, purchase of Louisiana, Flori
da, &c.-.he wished 10 see justice done the black
population. Sc. &c.-he believed there would be-
no war-becluse he believed the President
would back out" This question has been S,
thoroughly discussed before the American people
that it has becpns stale, fiat and insipid. S., far
the discussion has been conducted by declainers
with few exceptions. 1t has been the eff,rt of
certain class Of politiciaa to connect the Oreuon
question with Texas. M two things could be
wider apart than these two. Texas was foreign
erritory-free, 10 be sure-asking TO be admitted
into our happy Union, that she would be STRENGTH
ening by the c,mpact. Oregon is our own terri
tory-a part and parcel Of this country, and in
my humble opinion, cannot be surrendered The
President has expressly stated that Great Britain
will not make any offer which this country can
accept with honor; and thus stands the question
1t has been the custom by certain clique in all
great questions which England is connected with
to hold that country IN tcroru7l over This.
Is it possible that in the year 1886. when
America has increased to twenty millions Of free
men-when every important river and lake is
connected by either canal or ralroad-when
the agricultural productions have become so great
that it is now nothing in the fields while the
miserable Pauper population Of Europe are starry
ing,--when machine shops, foundries, iron works.
umcries, and powder mills, are sea TERED over
the land-when all this, say, is now in exist
ance, Is II not strange that there should be found
ooe coward heart in the whole length and breadth
Of this land who would, at this late day, fear the

GOV. WIN. SMITH.

sB"Ihe GAINESVILLE Herald, (asneural pa
peru speaks of our newly elected Governor,
Mr.. Smith. in the following very complimentary
terms. The Democracy have, indeed, great
cause 10 make the welkin ring with their shouts
of victory }"
GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA.-Willam Smith,
Esq, Of Fanquier county, was, on the 10Th inst.
by the Legislature, taken from the stage boot
and elevated TO the Gubernatorial chair of Vir.
GINA In the election Of Mr.. Smith, to The chair
OF State, we see worth fairly victorious over the
arlstocracy, deceit, and false show wealth A
poor but honest man-an active and business off =
cer-the Democracy of the Old Dominion have
much cause to make the welkin ring with their
shouts of victory! The sneers Of Extra Billy
and the charge of being plain citizen, are no,
disadvantages. The true spirit of Republicanism
smiles upon plain and efficient officer, and
stamps beneath her feet the proud, aristncraic
and bralnless ape, whose notions are anti every
thing apperlaning IN the true meaning of our
free republic"

VACCINATION.

DIR. FahnestOck, of Bordenown, in an article
on the Small Pox and Vaccination, comes to the
following positions as the result Of his observation
and experienced
/. That vaccination is the best protection from
small pox. 1t modlfies the disease and preserves
life. although it dues not in all cases exempt en-
tlrey from an attack of varioous disease.
2. That re- vaccination becomes necessary TO
Test the protection of The system.
8. That after re- vaccination. an individual may
have a reasonable certainty of exemption from an
attack of variooid.
4. That re. vaccination should be- res0rted To by
all persons upon whom it has not been repeated,
whenever the small pOx assumes an epidemic
form as the changes constantly taking place in
the human system, render an individual liable to
infection at one period who may have been ex-
empt at another and particularly as that liability
is greatly increased by the existence Of the yario.

GONE TO IT AGAIN

Our old friend G. G. Eastman, Esq, formerly
Of the Knoxville Argus, and who lately took
an office in Washington, see by his paper,
has again put the editorial harness, and is
dragging the Democratic plough over the now
barren fields Of Federalism in Vermont He has
taken charge Of the Montpelier Patriot, and we
have no doubt but he will 'ough deep, and sow
good Democratic seed, taken from the granaries
preserved by Thomas Jefferson. He says in
very brief and independent Introductory =
The Patriot, under my control will continue
to be thorough democratic paper. 1t will take
high ground. both in matter and tone, and, moving
entirely above personal controversies and local
contentious, it will be made 4 PAPER FOR THE
WHOLE STATE-discussing leading National and

WHAT WILL IT COST?

We take pleasure in assuring the authorities at
Washington that the poor devils of Clerks and
other officers in Navy Yard, are busiy employ
ed in making out the estimates of the cost of fitting
out the ships in this port, which are as well
known in Washington here. If the Head Of
the " Buro oh Destruction" az Jonas says,
had only thought of looking over the multiplied
reports, on this very subject, in his office, he
might have ascerialned what he has sent for here,
without all the trouble he has taken to get it
fresh. We hope the Committee on Naval Affairs
will see that the law is complied with in the
selection of Heads to the Naval Bureaus

We take much pleasure in calling the attention
of all our citizens. old and young, t" the perform

hibiton he will be able To give here. The Doctor
is sworn enemy 10 blue devils, ennui, and all
such bad spirits, and will call up hearty laugh
out of the most confirmed hypochondriac in exis-

him for some thing handsome; and therefore, at
the risk of having perfect jam, we notify all to
be there early. We shall have lots of 'Droll

THE SONS OF TEMPERANCE.

This beautiful and benevolent order, established
on strictly Temperate principles, is rapidly ex-
tending in this State. In Norfolk the Division
is highly prosperous; but we cannot say as much
for our own Howard Division. A variety of eau
ses have tended to depress it, among which we
may enumerate the want Of employment general
y. Much sickness has also reduced the funds of
the Division, besides several deaths We think
the crisis has heen passed, however, and the gen-
erous energy of our saunch members, will, we
have no doubt bring the Division into healthy
and vigorous action. On Tuesday evening the
Officers of the Division were installed by Depu-
,y Grand Worthy Patriarch, Morrissett, and are
as follows:-

SIMPSON VS.. BOOTH.

A trial was commenced Tuesday, in the Com
mon Pleas, says the n. Y Mirror, between the
above parties, to recover damages for breach of
contract. In June, 1914, Mr.. Booth engaged
with Mr. Simpson for six nights at $50 per night,
the plaintiff rcseryng the right Of putting up Nh
Booths namo for benefit on the sixth night. and
it is alleged that on the benefit night he did no,
appear, and the theatre was closed. For the de-
fence it is contended that Mr.. Booth was there.
ready TO perform, and that the closing of the thea
ire was premature. The case is continued to
