'SrOWEISM AND BLACK.sWANIsM


The New York Express administers to the
subjects of Queen Victoria, who have gone de.
liberately mad about Uncle Tom" and the
'sBiack Swan" the most clustering fagellation
we have met with for long time. 1t contrasts
the silly, but honest, enthusiasm of our coun-
trymen with regard 10 Dickens, WITH the manu-.
factured-to-order excitement now prevailing in
England. First, it touches upon the reception
of that "impudent Niger" Fred Douglas,
who was treated on perfect footing Of equality
by naughty English ladies, whose condescen.
sion scarcely amounts to bow, when the
brightest and most gifted white men of our
land appear among ihem." Those naughty

JAMES RIVER AND KANAvHA CoMPANY-We
have possessed ourselves of the following points of
information to the present condition of the works
now In progress The facts are definite, and worth
looking at. Every citizen has an immediate inter.
est in the prospects and movements of our vast
works of internal Improvement
The work between Buchanan and Craig's Creek
distance between IS and 80 miles-will be placed
under contract the first day of August, including
the locks and culverts The appropriation of 5000,
600 is considered sufficient to complete the work
thus far.
Before the work can be completed to Clifton
Forge, at the mouth of the Cow Pasture River,
further appropriation will be necessary. 1t is of
immense importance TO the public interests that
this last connecting link should be supplied, to
complete this connection with the Coyington and
Ohio Railroad.
The latter work is now all ready for contract
Covington and Buchanan are so miles apart, and
the distance from Clifton Forge to Covington is
only IA miles. We believe that by next spring the
Canal viii be complete, and ready for operations
1t is one of those gigantic works only to be contem
plated by the boldest and most enterprising minds
Of great State, and when finished will swell the
wealth and resources of Virginia aim est beyond
the power of competition.

The general impression seems to be that Linn
Boyd, of Kentucky or Col. Orr, of South Carolina
viii be Speaker. 8
As to the important position of the Clerk of the
House, Col. Forney, Judges Young and Sturgis, Of
Georgia, and Harris are candidates. The chances
are in favor Of Forney. There is. however, much
opposition to hi but much of this is actious and
prosecuting. Forpey is man of the first order of
talents Selfmade without the benefit of early ed-
ucation, he is of the best paragraph writer's in
the United States. AS editor of the Pennsyl yanan
he moulded the political character of that great.
State, the purest form of State-rghts democracy.

tues made to operate to his disadvantage
