THE INSPECTION OF GUANo.

When the worthy aud patriotic, but prejudicia,
Col Boudurant vas cooy left at home, by the lawful
voters Of the county of Buckingham, last spring,
congratulated ourselves that the time Of the present
Legislature would be occupied with the discussion Of
less fragrant and somewhat esher subjects than that
OF ;ho inspection of gusno. We knew that Mr.. Deaue
was a member Of the House of Delegates, but know.
ias that his special moaomoMa or aversion, was the
inspection of four We thought that guano, at
least was safe. Not so, however. Augusta has sent
an aveager Of the lamented Col. Bondurant and Mr..
McCue Is TO put the inspection Of guano to DEATH or
DO su by ammonia and ooalgas in the attempt
Tho worthy gentleman in question, oficiated, We
learn with distinguished Skill at the birth Of the
bill before the House of Delegates for the abo.
N:!oc Of the inspection Of gusno. 1t is only to be
regretted, that the appropriate committee did not
vouchsafe to the friend, Of inspection bearing b..
fore reporting the bill in question. Had this poor priv
lsge been allowed and had there been discussion
before the committee, the fragrant prose Of Colouel
McCue would have been throtted 10 the committee
and nothing more would have been heard Of it.
With much the larger portion Of the press Of this
city We stand prepared to defeud the inspection sys
TEN OF Virginia. The arguments In favor Of 1t are
overwhelming and most conclusive. Wherever
the subject has been fully and fairly discussed
the friends Of inspection have Invariably won
complete victory. The policy has been su..
tanned by repeated legislative verdic,s. and
should be advocated by every friend Of the .pri.
cultural Interests Of tho State Not only should the
present system be sustained but the inspectors houd
b. protected 10 every possibe way in the discharv,
Of their duties.
DO,
50 favor Of our position but those who remember the
discussions In the newspapers and in the Legislature,
two yesss DO, will recollect that the opponents of
inspection were routed, home, foot aud dragons.
tits to be regretted that the pertnacity Of few in.
s,viduns sheuld render the renewal of this discus.
sion aocea,sry whenever the Legislature meets.

large audience will be attracted by curiosity to see
a lady who has filed so large space in the dramatic
criticisms Of the press.
Mr.. Lorraine deserves full house, and we heartily
wish him bumper.
