The election has occupied the time
and attention of both Houses, so that
the great Consolidation fight will not
come off till these are over. In the
meantime the advocates of the BILL as
well as It's opponents, are not idlc.-
Will the bill PATS? YOU ask. Yes, aft, +
/ Baltimore, with Garrett, the Orange
Road with Barbour, the Valley with
/ Harnlan, the Chesapeake q Ohio with
| Huntingdon, and its salaricd advocate
Baldwin, with foolish old Richmond,
in her dotage, have fumed and ffetted,
4 planned and schcmed, worked ana
worried, Consolidation, gr ut, go.ious
and grand, linking the green noun-
tlins of Kentucky with the blue waters
/ that lash the shores of The Chesapeake
and lick the sands of Virginia, will
triumph. Then, we will have n great
line owned by Virginians and operat-
ed in the interests OF Virginia cities,
then, | say, will Virginia be herself
again.
Among the advocates Of this great
I work Robert w. Hughes has been
foremost. Able, enc; getic, and persc-
vcring, he has never taltcred in its sup
port. Though our people. differ with
Mr.. Hughes, on political questions,
they will remember him for his great
devotion to this enterprise.
The great injunction case is being
argued before Judge Underwood in
the United States District Court. Gen.
Wise has been speaking for two days.
He has just gotten through with the
committee of nine, and it is thought
he Will hang John Brown this even
ing. Great interest il manifested and
IL matters but little how the case is de-
cided as IL seems destined TO be taken
to the Supreme Court. The city is
quiet and there is no longer danger OF
riot.
Gen. Lee spent Saturday and sun.
day here on his way South. His health
is not very good. Col. Mostly is here
Lobbying for friend.
Brick i'omeroy lociured on Monday
evening upon MEMS Wives.n III,
had fair audience and is a miserable
humbug. lie is about five feet siS
inches, has light hair, blue eyes, IL
bald-hcaded and vain, walks the stage
and scarcely rises TO the dignity of 4
clown. His language is mean, vulgar
and disgusting, and the man who goes
to hear him once is not likely to repeat
ii.
We are inundated with Judges and
candidates for Judicial honorz. IL any
one at the Exchange says, How ar,
you Judgc?n Three hundred mel
start toward him.
The Committee Is at work on th'
boundary line and steps will be taker
to recover all the territory north of tho
line midway between the Walker ant
Henderson lines. If Tennessee refuses
J, to appoint commission suit will bC
brought in the Federal Courts. The
recovery of this territory will lead t
, the organization OF some new coIn
ties. Washington will, doubtless, b
divided, so as to give Bristol Court
house.
