We unite with the Richmond Enquirer in
the hope that the Bribery Investigating Com,
mittee of the House of Delegates will probe
the matter committed to their change to the
very bottom, and that the guilty parties vii
be brought to punishment. If there are Gle
ments in the Legislature that constantly invite
appliances of this sort, the sooner they art
taught Il lesson the better.

THE CHEsApEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD
EXTENSION. In the Senate yesterday the bill
for the extension aud completion of the Chesa-
pcakc and Ohio railroad was ordered to its en-
grossmcnt, after Il spirited debate The fight
was upon an amendment offered by Mr. Snow

to run through Alexandria, This amendment
was pushed with zeal and carnestness by the
Senator from Alexandria, and, although it did
not meet with favor at first, was finally agreed
to by vote Of II to o. The only other amend
ment WAS one making the proposed branches
subject in all respects to the general railroad

DAIRY FARMs.-'.The Utica Herald says that
Nicholas Smith. Of I1erkimer county, New
York, has made as hig n as Il, 200lbs of cheese,
shipping weight, in one year, from a herd of
twenty COWS He makes his milk up at home,
and sells for the highest prices paid in Herkl-
mer market and why cannot dairy farms be
established in this and the adjoining counties,
good old Fairfax and Loudoun, &C., 50 as TO-
supply the markets of Washington, Alexandria
and Georgetown with every pound Of butter
and cheese used, and sold, in these markets
Why, with suchan adjacent county stretching to
the Blue Ridge, and over into the Valley, with
close and direct communication by railroad with
Alexandria, should we send thousands upon
thousands of dollars every year to the North
for the article mentioned? Why should our
cities depend upon Dairy farms in New York,
and the Eastern States, for that which could
be made as good, and sold as cheap, at home?
The demand in the markets we have mention
ed, is always great and is increasing. The land
in this and the neighboring counties is as well
adapted to the grazing of cattle as the lands in
the Northern States; the expense of keeping
COWS and Of making cheese and butter is no
more than in the States beyond the line OF the
Potomac; the cheapness of transportation to
market is grealer We have always believed
that Dairy Farming and the manufacture Of
Butter and Cheese. in this section, would be Il
most remunelative business Let some of our
enterprsing farmers commence the business Oh
large scale and they will soon see that our
predictions of profit to them will be realized.
Small beginnings even will lead to more extern
sive operations We believe a cheese manu-
factory has been established in 14oudoun, and
We hope its results may be 30 favorable as to
encourage Others Butter always brings the
highest price, and no body would buy New
York butter if they could procure the article
from the tide water Piedmont. and the Valley
country, fresh and good, or packed for winter
USE The farmers means could be enlarged,
and his resources much increased, by devotng
some Of his time and attention to Dairy pur-
poses and the sending to market Of Butter
Cheese and Milk. In many cases they would
realize more by this than by raising wheat or
corn. And the Dairy business is safe aud sure

radicals have been greatly mistaken in
counting upon the negroes as the basis Of
their party. "Tho negroes, now that they
are satisfied there is no danger of being
re-enslaved, will vote just as their en-
ployers tell them. They can't afford to
do anything else. They are attached to
their old homes, and have no money with
which 10 move and find new ones, and
they will not risk being discharged by
voting against tho planters who hire
them" Two-thirds Of the negroes In this
country voted with the democrats last
fall, he said.
General Toombs characterized the ku-
klux as the natural protest Of an Cypress
cd people against tyranny. Madame do
Stael, he said, had described the Russian
government as a despotism tempered by
assassination. Although he did not say
SO in explicit terms he let it be clearly
inferred that he considered the recon-
structed governments Of the southern
states as despotism tempered by kuklux-
ism.
