Col. Walker acquitted himself nvbly,
and made the finest impression.
Speeches were also made by your re-
porter, Mr.. Gilman, and by Messrs. Ar
nett, Holiday and Barton.

duty. The people are fully aroused
and will register to a man. B.

BE91 A letter from one of the Liver
pool steamship agencies received at
New York Saturday morning says an
average of five thousand emigrants may
be expected at the port of New York
for the next five or six weeks to cone.
The pressure tor passage, the writer
says, is Notwithstanding was ever
seeh like it before. What is to be done
with the crowd when they come, unless
they push on west, is a problem. Even
now the streets in the lower part of the
city are thronged with the advance
guard, not only from Liverpool, but
from Hamburg. Bremen, Amsterdam
and Swedish and Norwegian ports.

SANITARY CONSIDERATIONS.

Ne
The attention of our Councils, the
Board of Health, AID the Mayor of the
city, cannot be too closely directed to
the sanitary condition of Norfolk. Our
almost entire immunity for several
years past from epidemic diseases, should
not be suffered to create vain conf
dence in the salubrity of our climate, or
relax for moment the ceaseless vigil
lance to which we have heretofore been
indebted for the preservation of the
public health We remind those 10
authority that the sanitary measures
adopted and enforced two years ago,
when few sporadic cases Of cholera
appeared in our midst, were the means,
in the greatest measure, of preventing
serious epidemic at that time. Those
means were intermitted last year, but
our exemption that season, must not be
considered a ground of belief that it will
be safe to omit them this year. The
whole of the winter aud spring, the sea-
sons and the weather have been pecu-
liar perhaps they We're as uuseasona
BILE as any we ever recollect Such
peculiarities may not be followed by any
misfortuae-they may not be sufficient
to ground serious apprehension upon
but they are sufficiently weighty to
warrant the exercise of all the salut ary
measures in our power to ward off dis
ease and to prepare for it should it
come.
Among the many conside ratons
which call for unusual vigilance a, the
present time, we may mention that
greater number of persons from abroad
will probably visit Norfolk this summer
than ever before-many of them on
the lookout for honest the selection of
which the question of health will be a
controlling motive. Norfolk, therefore,
must put its best foot foremost. 1t will
not do for all those numerous visitors
to find us with dirty aud ill-kept streets,
with heaps of filth in our alleys and
lanes, generating miasma and pestilence
which endanser the health Of the COM
munity and poison the unacclimated
strangers. The pure invigorating breeze
from the ocean must not be tainted
when it reaches the land with the rank
and fetid odors of corruption from heaps
of offal, decomposing fish, and rotting
vegetable matter-thus carrying not
health but infection on its wings, and
all who have to breathe it.
But we would recommend the same
system adopted in 1867. when
vigilant officers personally attended to
cleaning the entire city, and dispensed |
which neutralized the poi
son and deodorized the air. These
hints to wise men may DO sufficient. The

Washington, June 13-After the re-
eeption of the news of the abdication of
Captain General Dulco, the Cuban
agents here went to Secretary Fish and
insisted that the Spanish authority and
power in Cuba was practically gone, and
that our government should at once rec-
ognize the only de facto government ex-
isting on the island, that of the Cuban
insurgents.
Mr.. Fish promised to take the matter
into consideration and return an answer.
II is understood that yesterday he came
to the conclusion that it would not be
wise for the United States to depart from
the policy of non-interference hereto fore
pursued. Mr.. Fish does not regard the
Spanishsauthority over Cuba as having
entirely passed away. He does think
however, that it is in the last throes of
dissolution. His information from Cuba
official, of course-is that the Spanish
volunteers are likely to get up revolu-
ton on their own account. If left to
themselves, he believes the Spaniards
will be the agents of their own destruc-
ton. This will give the Cubans all they
want without the interference of our
government.

Decision by the Georgia Supreme
COurt---No Social Equality I'm Geor.

ATLANTA, GA, June 22.-The Supreme
Court of Georgia to-day decided that the
Code of the Statetadopted by the new consti-
tuition prohibits the marriage relation be-
tween white persons and persons Of African
descent, and declares such marriages null
and void. It decides
Second. That this section of the Code is
not repealed, nor is it inconsistent with that
part Of the constitution which declares that
the social status of theicitizen shall never be
the subject of legislation. That clause Of
the constitution absolutely denies to the
Legislature the power to pass laws in future
regulating the social status of or compelling
the two races to unite in social intercourse.
AS the laws then in existence allowed
churches, for instance, to determine for
themselves who should occupy their seats,
and where they should sit, and permitted
railroad and steamboat companies and hotel
and housekeepers to classify and assign
places to those using their accommodations
according tc-@scial status and grade, as they
might think proper, this construction puts
it beyond the power of the Legislature ever
to enact any law compelling them to make
definite classification or group together in
social intercourse those who do not recog-
niZe each other as social equals. AS the
social relations of citizens are not the proper
subjects of legislation, the constitution has
wisely put the matter at rest by denying to
the Legislature the power to enact or re-
peal laws on that subject.

AN IMMENSE PEACH ORcHARD.-A CORE
spondcnt of the New York Express writes
from Il village called Ridgcway, midway be-
tween Wilmington and Weldon, n. c., and
gives the following description of an inn
mcnsc peach orchard:
But the great feature of the picture is
peach orchard of $50. 900 trees, occupying
$500 acres Of land. An idea of its magni-
tudc may perhaps be better shown by the
statement that if the acres were iii row
they would extend to the distance of 100
miles, and if the trees themselves were III
row. would extend to the distance OF 1000
miles.
in the season for gathering, at only one
basket per tree per day, there must be on
the ground every day Il supply OF 2oo,O0o
baskets. AS the peaches pulled to-day are
to be in New York tomorrow Qor this can
be) it is easy to conceive the army Of gather
crS necessary to fill the baskets and place
them upon the cars. An enterprise such
as this requires no small capital and energy.

Il success. The parties have secured, am
