Such partial legislation, however, as order

which we published yesterday, we mad
vertently stated that the resolution in
structing representatives to urge the pas
sage of bill providing for re-assessment of
lands, was adopted at a meeting of Repub-

To Fairfax, not Fauquier, we are indebted
for the first public response to the wishes
Of the farmers, and approval of our course
in urging the people to assert their claims

The managers Of the Alabama State Fair
held this year at Selma, had all kinds of Ie-
vices to secure patronage. Premiums were
offered for excellence in departments which
are not generally considered open to public
competition. For instance, the prettiest
young lady on the grounds was awarded a
handsome set of furs, and for the rest of her
life her envious competitors willaell her that
if she chad gone further she might have Jared
worse &c. too, the ugllest man was pre-
scented with suit of clothes, which is an in
direct encouragement to the cultivation OF
features resembling those of the original
Darwinian. The ''prettiest man. received a
set of shirts, which may, therefore, be
considered rs his clay" But he was unfair
ly treated, since the ugiest man took higher
premium and must have been better "suited ."
The only wonder is that no premium was
offered to the one with the largest foot. The
managers might have given him chance to
"put his foot in it." The claim of the shome-

llAPr-t.

We find the following in the columns Of the
Eastern Argus
LETTER FROM Ex-Governor CHAMBERLAIN.
To the Editor Of the Argus.
SIR My attention has been called to a
paragraph in your paper in regard to an al
legged improper conveyance of the public
lands to the European and North American
Railway Company, with the implication that
the evil was caused by the error OF the Gov
enor in signing the deed; although you are
good enough to extend the clemency OF char
ty for his "honest intent"
Will you please to inform your readers,
first, That the Governors deed could not
convey anything not granted by the legisla-
ture. Second, That the same authority
required he Governor to give deed. Third,
That the compliance of the company with the
provisions of the law emitting them to the
de- was made a matter of vigorous investi-
cation by the Governor and Council. Fourth,
That the description given in the deed follow
ed strictly schedule from the land agent 8
Office, purporting to include the lands coming
within the effect of the grant, and in order
to guard against any difficulty arising from a
possible Aistake in so extended an enumera
ton, clause was appended to the deed ex-
| pressly limiting the conveyance to those lands,
and 10 others, intended to be conveyed under
the acts and resolves referred to. Fifth, That
after the deed thus carefully drawn had re-
ceived the unanimous approval of the council,
it was not then executed and delivered until
it had been submitted to the thorough scruti-
ny of the Attorney General of the State, and
by him pronounced correct.
You will thus allow it to be seen whether
there was culpable want of care in so impor-
tant an official act, and whether the ''disas-
trous effect" of this act is chargeable to the
obtuseness of perception or imbecility o.
judgment which your informant would seen
| to insinuate.
Very respectfully
Your obedicnt servant,
JosHUA l.. CHAMBERLAIN.

tainment of the Grand Duke Alexis in Boston
and that Of New York's efforts on similar
occasion. The Grand Duke had all that New
York cooks, wine merchants and upholsterers
could do to make his visit agreeable and a
charming trip around the harbor was thrown
in. But Boston bids him welcome with such
voices as those Of Winthrop, Eliot, Holmes,
and Lowell. 1t is something to have plenty

The Hon. Henry L. Dawes has written an
article, which is published in The Boston
Congregationalst in which he foreshadows
what may be considered as his probable policy
on the Mormon question. He shows that by
the, breaking up the existing Mormon house
holds by law, over Is, 900 adult females, with
numerous offspring, will be beggared and
thrown out of the community. He argues
that this great suffering should be avoided, if
possible, and that the death of Brigham
Young (Which cannot be far off, the influx of
"Gentle" population, and other causes, will
soon help to crumble the Mormon organiza-
ton. Mr.. Dawes intimates that he would
prevent by law the contamination of any
more plural marriages, but would leave the
polygamists where they are now.

Gen Butler is examining the subject of
State Indebtedness, its magnitude and pros
pective increase. He considers that the prac-
tice Of State Government of carrying out inn
provements, and assuming additional debts
therefor, is one which bids fair to assume
such importance as to demand the notice of
the Federal Governments. Especially would
the intervention be required, he thinks, in
case the United States foreign relations be-
come seriously disturbed.
