have the hthdry Of Democratic leaders in the Senate
But, with onrcrdtemp4raricso Of the Timss, We say =:
eve slalf words In descantng on tie cnormi-
ty Of this grand Democratic achievement, which the
rights Of the Wing people Of this State have been IS
scsndsously outraged The vital principle Of Repuhii-
can nsttatonsthe principle Of minority rspresenta-
ton--has beenspenT and fiagrantiy violated by The
self styled Democratic Republican party ofihis Comma

leaders 1.-THE Democracy have acted in this matter
any principle Al all. that principle Is that because they
haYe popular majority in the whole State. therefore
whole representation should Be Democratic This
doctrine has beea boldly avowed BY Democratic paper
in the interior and endorsed by the Rchmond Enquirer
within the last three days" $50
But what are we to aos Will the Wings 81 Virgins
permit themselves to be rictmized by this
gerrymandcrl We think we hear some Of them say
that il i useless contend against the heavy Demo
cratic majority in this Colamonw eaith. Now, even
there were well aseertaned Democratic majority O
1900 in Virginia. il ould not be useless tostruggle
ganst that majority for, i would keep in the State
powerful minority, WHOSE influence would operatc
check upon the destructive tendencies Of the progressive
wing Of Democracy inionf State, and animate viii
the moral force which Virginia Wings have ever cx
cred upon their brethren other States. the struggle
Of our Wing friends throughout the Union And, j
ought meyer to be forgotten that, small, united
active party has greater chances even of at th,
polls than lage which is nearly asnnder By
ts feuds al every division Of the spoils. The YOU
the last Presidential election, is however, test
the Democratic majority in Virginia! Thousands upor
thousands of Wings, every knows absented them
selves from the polls II is probable that the Democrat
c majority in Virginia may range ashigh six Thousand
though, the election Of Harrison and Tyler did
not rise to two thousand.
Surely it is mid and suicidal to give up all effort
when nearly equal in numbers TO the Demo
crAcy of the State and when ii would require but lit
tie extra exertion our part, very trling amount
Of secession from the Democratic ranks to convert
minority into majority.
We may gain much by union and encrgr. We must

THE SAN JUAN AFFAIR.-The Washington
correspondent of the Journal of Commerce
says:
The affair at San Juan may somewhat com.
plicate the difficulties which will attend Mr..
Slidelrs mission. The people of San Juan
have involved themselves in difficulties with
France and the United States, and, besides
have unsettled matters with Nicaragua and
the Mosquito King.
The British government has proposed to the
United States that San Juaa be made free
port, with an independent jurisdiction, and I'm.
der the guaranty of the two goyernments.-
But Mr.. Everett, both in his report and his
speech, takes the ground that it will be better
for all parties that the port of San Juan be in.
cluded in the jurisdiction of Nicaragua. II is
very true. as has been remarked, that no very
good result is expected from Mr. Sldelrs mis-
sion; and perhaps this government NAV not be
prepared TO settle the question upon the terms
suggested by Great Britain, or recommended
by the late administration.

NEW BUILDINGs-The number of new dwell.
ings in progress of erection in the suburbs of our
city, is absolutely surprising In the vicinity of Or.
egon Hill and Sydney, plain and substantial edifces
are IN contemplation, and are being constructed by
| the score On Church and Union Hills, carpen
tiers, bIicklayers and masons, appear also to have
taken an undisputed possession, judging by the
swarms that are seen busily plying the trowel saw
and plane, there, day after day, and the fruits OF
their industry that daily spring from the earth in
the form of tasty and commodious edices, In
truth, the cramped and expensive accommodations
which are afforded in the city for our enterprising
mechanics and trsdesmen, are necessarily leading
to steady enlargement of the suburbs. The waste
places are being filed up, hills and vaies graded,
gullies damned and bridged and vacant lots fenced
cultivated and improved. Wespesk within bounds
when we say that within the last six months. up.
wards OF hundred new buildings of various sizes
and adaptations, have been either commenced or
completed upon these hills. Within the last two
years, the value of large portion of the property
alone has augmented fifty per cent These then are
some of the more marked indications of the pros.
peEiiy and growth of Richmond Her prosnects
socially and commercially, are of the most cheer.
ing and stable character.

The BANK OF THE UNIoN.-Some months
have passed since the affairs of this defuucl
concern passed into the hands OF trustees
and yet we have no exhibit OF its condition.
We know this, however, that Messrs. Linton
and Chiffon, two of the three trustees, have en-.
tered suit against torty-four debtors of the in
siiuilon; but as no declarations have been
hied IN the court, it is difficult even to coniec.
lure when the public will have authoritative
information in the premises.
we are inclined to believe that the trustees
are moi idle IN the performance OF their duties :;
oul such Is Inc slow process of law, that a
