SEVERAL members OF the Legislature friend
ly to the liquor law, as it stands in our stat
utes, met at the "Green Room" of the State
House, on Friday last and after much discuss
ion, appointed a committee to confer with the
executive in regard to the removal of the state
agent, Mr.. Burnhan from that office. They also
agreedto favor the amendment ofthe liquor law
so far as to require the appointment of an agent
during particular month of each year, and
the limitation of his term of service to a single
year. 1t is notorious that the present manage
ment of the State Agency has done very
much to make the law disreputable. Physi-
clans almost invariably distrust the liquors
which bear the mark of the State Agent, and
testimony is abundant which throws discredit
on the entire management of that responsible
place. 1t is due to the public that an office
which has fallen under general suspicion
should be either placed in new hands or clos
ed 1t is favorable omen that the attention
of members of the Legislature has been called
to the subject and that change will be made
necessary, if not by removal, at least by egis-
lation

The CAPTIVE Observation-Disclosures
or Wise describes old John Brown thus =
ale is the gamest man l ever saw" The re-
porter of the Baltimore American concludes
personal description of Brown and Stevens as
follows =
"Both men seem prepared for death-seemed
to court it, rather; perhaps under the idea that
they will be acknowledged martyrs; but more
possibly under the conviction of having per-
formed sacred duty. However much the
writer hereof may differ from them there must
arise feeling of respect for them in their bold
rashness."
These men are very different from the crea-
lures who invaded Kansas as border rufIians,-
very different from "Buford's men," While
Gov. Wise appears to be capable of appreciat-
ing the brave, unquailing spirit of Old Brown,
he is by no means complimentary to the Vir-
ginians, whom he taunts with cowardce and
hkens to sheep. And it must be confessed that
Virginia has not seemed to be over-brave on
this occasion. The people in that quarter were
scared beyond measure; and the fright has not
passed away, for one of the latest items of news
is that the shaking of a tree ION the mountain
opposite" had caused terrific alarm, and it
was added that ''the excitement was increasing
throughout the state" AT the Jail an extra
guard had been stationed, with "a piece of
cannon placed in the courthouse yard, near
the Jail"
