West Virginia.

1t is to be hoped that the result of the
late election in this State is favorable to the
liberal side. They call it out there the
.'let-up" policy. The returns thus far re-
ceived are encouraging. In no State is there
more proscriptiye system of elections and
qualifications for office. An immense por-
ton Of the population are completely de-
MED all participation in the Government
save to pay taxes for its support. The
Wheeling Gazette, commenting on the re-
turns, says:
of the balance of the State has done rs
well in the liberal way, we may look for a
very general modification of our disabling
laws by the next Legislature, if not Tor
ceeds upon the assumption that the .let-up'
Republicans will adhere to the platform
upon which they were elected"

DIR. L1v1NGsToNE.-Th New York Herald
has special which processes to settle the
question of DR.. LIvINGsToSE's safety. But
the latest from him according to this is the
Sth day of August, 1863, the interval since
which date is quite enough to renew anxiety
for the rather gaseous traveller, whose fate
is in the hands of the capricious Africans
The information from him was received at
Zanzibar in September last, and was written
on bits of paper begged from the Arabs
He too "has discovered the actual sources
of the Nile" No doubt of it! He wants
the almanacs of '6S and 80, and some pro-
visions. He might do without the former
but if he has had to wait until now for the
latter he is quite hungry.

EXPORT OF WHEAT TO ENGLAND.-Thc
London Times of Tuesday, in its money AZ
ticle, comments on the rapid increase OF
importation of wheat from the United
states. The most interesting question, the
writer says, is the extent to which it can be
kept up in competition with Russia and
Central Europe, when railways in that sec
ton are fully developed. The great ques"
tons for the United States to consider In
this direction are reduction in freights and
other charges, and the enlargement of com
munication with the Mississippi.
And in what manner is it possible so ef-
fectually to accomplish this as by completing
the water communication between the
James and Ohio rivers:

a Sure Sign.

There are few houses for rent IN Rich
mond. See our rent department-howp poor
it isl Houses are wanted-wanted to rent
and to purchase. The population is in eX'
cess of house accommodation, and as soon
as spring returns the enterprise Of build
ing must be pushed ahead with energy
We learn from an experienced real estate
agent that he has never known houses so
scarce and so much in demand. This is en-
couraging, but it is a complaint that ought
not to be permitted. Real estate men and
capitalists should see that it isnot continued
long. The rent roll is the most lucrative
and reliable of incomes, and now IS the
chance to extend it.

TENNEssEE.-Another sensation is caused
in Tennessee by an effort Of the JOHNSON
party to Dust Mr.. COOPER, the newly-elected
United States senator. On Monday Mr..
WHITE offered n resolution, reciting the fol-
lowing clause of the State Constitution
ono senator or representative shall, du-
ring the time for which he was elected, be
eligible to any Office or place Of trust, the
appointment to which is vested in the Exc
cutiye or the General Assembly, except to
the office of trustee of literary insti-
tuition - .r...
And declaring that the election of HENRY
COOPER to the United States Senate is g ille-
gal and void"
A member moved that the resolution,
which he declared an insult to the Legisla'
ture, be acted on at once by suspension OF
the rules. The motion was rejected-3O tc
Sand the resolution was referred to the
Judiciary Committee.
JOHN BELL was elected United States
senator while member Of the Legislature
and no exception was taken to his .eligi'
bility. The JOHNSON men say that may be
precedent, but it is not law.
So that we may look for another JOHNSON
CONFUSION in the Tennessee Legislature
The constitutional clause is peculiar. II
shows an earnest desire to preserve the
Legislative virtue and if it was part o.
the old Constitution of Tennessee, it was
adopted at time when such restraints were
less necessary than now.

The iron bridge across the Mississippi, at
st. Louis, is going ahead rapidly. 1t has
been already noticed that the granite used
in its construction is from the quarries near
this city of the James River Granite Com
pany. of which Mr.. GEORGE BLUaENTHALL
is the superintendent. Some grand speci-
mems have already been sent around by
water, and ether shipments are ready. Sup
pose the James River and Kanawha Canal
was finished now, how easy it would be to
send this fine stone straight across the coun-
try.to st.Louis, whereas it has now to &c
by sea to New Orleans, there to be tran
shipped and sent by steam up the river,
many hundred miles out of the way, and at
the heavy cost of transhipment.
This magnificent work is to consist Of
three wrought and castiron arches-one Of
Sid feet in length, the other two 1877 feet
each. The lower part Of the bridge is in
tended for the passage Of railway trains
the upper for ordinary travel.
