The VIRGINIA CONVENTION, on Friday last after
an animated contest, and the rejection of several
other propositions adopted the plan of representa-
tion proposed by the compromise committee, which
had been once rejected and again moved in COM
mittee Of the whole with very slight alteration.
BY this plan the western section Of the State will
have majority of fourteen in the House of Dele
gates and the eastern section majority Of ten in
the Senate, giving the west majority Of four on
joint ballot II also provides that in the year 1865,
in case the General Assembly shall not be able to
agree to the principle ofrepresentation which
re-apportonment shall be made, the question shall be
decided by the qualified voters Of the State. This
proposition was adopted by a majority of seven
votes, and appears to be regarded as settling the
vexed question which has SO long impeded the
progress Of the Convention in completing the busi-
ness for which it was organized.

THE CUBAN "pATRIoTs" IN FLORIDA.

The Tallahassee Sentinel of the 18th instant
states that some Of the expeditionists belonging
to that place have returned to their home with the
intelligence that the invasion Of Cuba had been in
definitely postponed, and that Lopez had hurried
on West to stop the movement in that quarter.
The Sentinel adds:
The assigned for abandoning the expedition were,
the arrest and detention by the Government of steamer be-
longing to the expedition with 1900 volunteers on board,
and the untimey arrival Of two Government armed steamers
off the bar Of the ST. Johns The steamer in question was
undoubtedly the Cleopatra, detained in the harbor of New
York. and the invaders dwnde by the newspaper reports
down to some 800 men, mostly Hungarans and Germans.

Some of the Members Of the Convention that
formed the present Constitution Of the State of New
York lin ls46) have endeavored to give strength to
the opposition to the bill for enlarging the Erie
canal by calling together the defunct Convention to
express its opinion on the constitutonality Of the
measure. This meeting was invited at Albany on
Thursday. The movement however, proved COM
plete failure. Only about twenty members respond
ed to the call by their presence, and as many more
sent letters saying that they would agree to what
ever might be done by those who should meet to-
gether. Those in attendance, nevertheless, adopted
some resolutions and address adverse to the ca
nal bill which, under the circumstances, ought not
to have the least possible influence with the people
in determining the question which the resignation
of portion Of the State Senators has referred to
their immediate decision. Whatever may be the
right or wrong of the matter, such an endorsement
as this ought to count for nothing.

An extra session Of the Legislature has become
necessary in MICHIGAN. None Of the members
resigned, as was the case in Albany, but the con-

The appropriation bill and many other important
measures were thrown over. Gov. BARRY has ac-
cordingly reconvened the Legislature, to meet at
Lansing on the 9th of June next.

PLANK ROADS

We learn from the @Fayetteville Observer
that the tolls collected on the Fayetteville and
Western Plank Road,during the month Of April,
amounted to the handsome sum of 1926 o.
For about a week of the month, tolls were col
lected on SO miles but, for the previous part
of the month, on Is miles only.
We are glad also TO see, from the Observer, "
that it Is the determination o the Commissioners
for the projected Plank Road between Fayette-
vile and this place, to goto work and build the
Road as far as the money subscribed viii go,
confiding in the popularity of such works to
bring it through to Raleigh, at no distant day.
We do hope that our citizens viii properly ap-
p~reeiate the advantages that cannot fail to arise
from such a connection. In the event of the
probable failure to be rebuilt of the Raleigh
and CASTOR Road-cven though it be but 1
temporary failure-the benefits of a Planl
Road connection with Fayetteville will be al
most i~nestimable.
