by the Board.
Mar. Baxter explained the method Of settlement with
the creditors of the Company who reside at distance
from the city OF Richmond 1t was absolutely me-
cessary to employ some agent to deliver the warrants

commodaton to the contractors and others to have an
agent sign their receipts for them and dispose other

Judge Mason said he WAS sure that no one intended
to cast any reflection upon the character OF Captain
McCorkle and that an lntnnaton from the Stock oders
OF their dsapprobaon of the system at present adopt

Anderson approved the policy and hoped that nothing

CENSUS OF VIRGINIA.

No subject ought to be more interesting to
the people of State than the statistics of itspopu
lation and resources. We presume, therefore,
that we can offer nothing more acceptable to our
readers than the Census of Virginia, which we in
sert to-day in full for 1890 1910 and 1850 From
the rather unofficial .mannerin which the returns
have been made to the Auditor, it is quite pro-.
bable that perfect accuracy has not been secured
in all instances. Yet the errors cannot be so
consider able as materially to diminish the present
value of the document to our State Convention,
or its interest to the public at large.
Forthe purpose of aiding the reader in gene
RAILING the facts exhibited by the census, we
have prepared the following condensed tabular
statement, showing the aggregate white, free
cooured and slave population, in each of the four
geographical divisions the State, at the Begin
ming and close ofthe decade which has Just ex-
pired, with the increase in the several cl asses of
population in ench division, and also the popula-
ton ofthe weole State in 1910 end 1850, and its

Mr.. Frencl's Locomotive.

The members of the Legislature and number
OF citizens and strangers went over the river,
Saturday morning, by the Danville railroad to
witness an experiment with Mr.. J. S. Frenchs
LOGON olive "Climber,' constructed according to
the plan of his invention, for ascending high
grades. The engine was upon track about a
third of mile long, constructed with
grade of about $50 feet to the mile The
idea of the invention is to produce friction
on the bearing wheels of the locomotive, by the
power of the lever, instead ofby dead weight
For this purpose the track was so made that the
rails laid on length-wise stills, shelved over on
the outer sides, and the engine was furnished with
small sub-whees, so attached as when the lever
power was applied, to revolve against the bot
tom of the iron rails, directly under the large
bearing wheels. The experiment appeared
to be entirely successful, although the ar
engagements were not complete when it was
commenced, the steam being not we'll up. The
locomotive easily assembled the inclined plane,
drawing car containing about fifty persons. On
returning at high speed, down the plane, the
conductor, by applying the friction, caused the
train to stop, in few yards, and reverse its mo-
ton. The sub-wheels can be raised at pleasure
so that the engine can run on an ordinary track
The engine weighs about three tons.

EAST TENNESSEE.


The Knoxville Register gives the census ofa
the counties of East Tennessee except three:
The number ofsaves in these counties is l9l43-
In 1910 1885, consequently there has been an
increase thus far of 32S9 in the number ofslaves.
Considering that East Tennessee is farming
and grazing country, this is rather remarkable
increase of the slave population.

Iewa and Cedar Rivers.

The Louisa County Times has an article relative
to promoting the navigation OF the Iowa and Cedar
Rivers, in which Burlington is called on for assis-
lance. We have not seen the project or charter of
the proposed ssjont stock company Of Iowa City
and Cedar Rapids, and cannot therefore tell what is
proposed to be done. Neither can we see how our
citizens are to be particularly benefited by such an
at the same time we favor the improvement. The
Times proposes a Mass Convention at Wapello on
the oath inst. and asks "Will our friends in Bur-
lington and other places coincide with in the
move, place and time appointed, or will they set a
more proper time and place, advising us thereof"
ton will sustain to this undertaking says: s'Bur-
lngton, without doubt, will enter into the matter
with that spirit Of energy and that has
heretofore characterized her upon every oce aston.
The advantages that would accrue to her in an en-
terprise Of this kind are incalculable-the trade
from the great extent Of country bordering on the
Iowa and Cedar rivers, together with what she al
ready has, from counties lying West and North
west Of her, would soon make her the QUEEN OF
the Upper Mississippi, and a very dangerous rival
for ST LOUISE
In setting forth some OF the enefits to be deriv-
ed from the improvements, We find in the same ar
ticle the following: ssH would give to the me reliant
the advantages arising from early shipments and
quick returns, without which they are unable to
compete with the merchants Of Burlington and
Muscatine."
