Mails The Cholera Reports, &C., SC.
We have had another day among the lawmakers
Of Virginia, at the Springs The discussion of the
report of the committee on the revised code, in
committee of the whole, was regularly prosecuted
from ten till two o'clock. The debates are almost
exclusively confined to the lawyers; the whole
subject being catalogue of questions of law-the
revision and simphfca,ion of the entire civil code
of the State.
A clause Of the report, for restricting the clcc-
lions 10 one day, was rejected and one day or
three days, at the option of the election judges
remains, as heretofore, recognised.
Members oil the two houses continue to arrive,
and we had the agreeable addition to-day of seve-
raj ladies' from Richmond and discovering, IN the
end OF the ballroom not occupied by the House of
Delegates, an attempt was made to get up hop.
The legislators crowded in see the sport, but the
hddlers played In vain F; there were not ladies
enough for dance, and the experiment exploded.
We understand that committee of invitation is to
be sent out INTO The neighbOrhOOd, TO call in some
Of the bellies Of Fauquler, for a grand demonstra-
lion on Saturday nights and that proposals are on
foot tor getting up scrub race Saturday after
noon, after the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT heats, two
ten dollars entrance, the winner to take the pool.
Among the arrivals, to-day, is DR.. Draper, of
Washington. He comes Recommended bv Mr..
Dallas, and several of the heads of the departments
as a physician competent, from his experience in
Philadelphia in 1892, 10 lecture the cholera He
proposes to give several lectures to the legislators
Virginia, ON the hstorv the nature, the peculia-
rites, the prcvenves, and the cure of this Asiatlc
destroyer; and we have no doubt his visit will be
beneficial to The House of Delegates and the Senate
~ revealing to them the mysteries of this strange
disease.
We spent an hour or two, to-day, in angling in
the Rappaahannock: After capturing several spec-
mems OF the small fry, we secured heavy, steady,
orthodox bite, and humoring our customer to take
good hold, we succeeded in hooking the gent e.
man. Standing half way down "a steep bank, with
fooihod III the clay, trequired nice calculate IN
to land the .h and preserve our equilibrium The
edge of the bank. where he dropped of the hook,
| and commenced process of ground and lofty
tumbl!ng, winch required our immediate SEIZURE, to
save hini. Spring'ng up, we slipped down. and
got TO the edge OF the water just the sucker fell
in An old log saved US, perhtps, the trouble of a
"crowner's quest" for the water was deep and
swift, and the eddy full of snags. That was mar
row escape 10 the fish and the isherman--a drawn
battle, both parties beating an immediate retreat.
IL was like the attack of the French on Rome the
attacking party coming out as fast as he went in
We give that sucker the full run Of the Rappuhan-
mock.
Al six O'Clock, the mails from the seaboard came
In, and as this event which only happens three
times week, the papers were in great demand.
The cholera reports were first examined and on
finding that the epidemic stlll existed in Richmond,
was apparently Increasing in New York, and not
diminishing IN the West. the members of the House
OF Delegates brcathed more freely, as If congrat,-
lating themselves on the wisdom Of their HeIira
from the presidential seaboard.
The day has been cloudy and sultry, and show
ers OF ram have been skirting along the mount,ns.
