TIE NV CUsroMHoUsE.-The work upon
this handsome building is progressing with
fresh energy since the return of the superln7
tendent, Mr.. Olkshott, who arrived In the
city on Friday last. During the summer the
work has never been entirely stopped, aud
few hands have been kept steadily employed.
Additional stonecntters, bricklayers and Ia
BOXERS have now been set to work by the
superintendent, and, with full complement
of men in every part Of tbs building, .the
work goes bravely on" The east front on
the river Is nearly completed according to
the. last alterations, and the granite bases e4-
tending out beyond the north and south
wings, which were intended formerly to sup
port columns as on the east and west sides, are
about to be taken away entirety. On Inc
west front, single section Of the south col

make it complete, and the column will be
finished as. soon ss the section arrives. This

LAND SALEs-Efect Of q Railroad.-The
following sales are reported by the Charles
ton wv. Ea.) Courier to have recently ia ken
place in the counties traycTsed by the line
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad:
"a tract Of valuable coal LAND on Loup
creek, Fayettc county, containing $4,000
acres, has been purchased by 4 party Of
Baltimore and New Jersey capitalists. This
is part of the "Wilson survey" and lies
Immediately on the kanawha river and
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. A tract
containing 10, 900 acres, lying between Gau-
lev and New river, and near their con-
tlucnce in Fayette and Nicholas counties,
has been recently purchased by Bal
timore parties. Several tracts, contain
ing in the aggregate $4,000 acres of land,
situated in Fayette and Grcenbrier coun-
ties, have been purchased by Howell,
Fisher, and others, Of Pennsy lvania. A
tract containing 5000 acres in Nicholas
county has been purchased by George W.
Norris, of Baltimore. Several tracts Of val
liable coal land on the great kanawha, con-
tanning 900 acres, have lately been pur-
chased by c. p. Huntington, of New York,
from the heirs OF james G.. Paxton, de-
ceased.'' The Courier adds "TheSe pur.
chases show what the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad is doing for this portion ol
West Virginia. Its rapid construction and
the certainty Of itSspeedy completion have
given decided impetus to land sales along
the line Of the road, and left no doubt that
the capital OF other sections will be literally
and judiciou>ly invested for the develop
ment of our portion of the State. The
prices of the above lands range from - to
10 per acre."

Mr.. GREELEY ON THE FREEDMES.--Mr.
Greeley devotes letter in the New York
Tribune to the present condition Of the
freedmen in the cotton States. His conclu.
sions are tersely put in the following SEN
tenceS:
"The planters who were formerly slave.
holders have uniformly assured me that
their cx-slaves are working better than they
expected, and better this year than ever
before. cannot recollect single dissent
from this averment. judge that the freed
men of the cotton States are this day IN as
rood circumstances rs the hired workers
who till the soil of any European country.
On the whole, must regard the question,
s win free niggers work!' satisfactorily an
swered. The four and a quarter million
bales of cotton grown in the United States
in 1870 are not to be gainsaid.'

the affair, which was being kept very dark.

HENRICo CONTESTED ELECTIoN.-lt will
be remembered by the readers Of the Dis
patch that when the Judges Of election in
yarina township made their returns they
awarded a certificate of election to Lewis
Harris (colored) as magistrate, who ap-
peared by the figures to have run ahead OF
his ticket about 20 votes. The other sue
cessful candidates-al Conservatives-were
elected by very small majorities. 1t was
subsequently discovered that a mistake had
been made in the figures, and that Lewis
a. Guy Conservative, and not Lewis Har-
rs, was elected. The only way in which to
correct the error Was to contest the cleo
ton, and steps were accordingly taken in
that direction. The case came before Judge
Minor Yesterday. When the case was called
letter was read from Lewis Harris which
does him credit. He says that he "shall
not attempt to contes. the election, as the
figures will show who is the chosen candi-
date"
The Judge then being satisfied that Mr.
Guy had received the largest number OF
votes, ordered a certificate OF election to be
given to him, and it was accordingly done.

LAWYER vs. DRUMMER.-Commer

LAWYER vs. DRUMMER.-COmmer
travellers, commonly called " drummers,"
have been rather unlucky in this city for the
last few days. They were arrested, indict-
ed. lined, and, after great efforts, they be-
came convinced that there arc laws in Vir-
ginia which even 4 drummer is bound to
respect One OF the said fraternity, citi-
zen of the City Of Brotherly Love, tried to
turn the scales, and instead Of being fined
himself, attempted 10 "bcat" his lawyer
out OF his fees. The good man of the Qua
ker village, on Wednesday, promised Mr..
Schisrowitz to settle his bill Oh the yt
morning; but when the said morning came
he quietly slipped of to the Petersburg de-
pot, undoubtedly thinking that Il Phiadel-
phil drummer once, at least, got the
best of Richmond lawyer. But the disci-
ple of Blackstone and Kent got an inkling
of the sudden retreat Of his northern client,
and with hasty steps and armed with an atii-
davit, which unfortunately was not yet sub
Scrlbed and sworn to, quite Unexpectedly
made his appearance before the a>tonlshed
"drummer" just as he was about to step
into the cars, which, as he "gucssed,'
would carry him away from the ungrateful
CITY of Richmond with all the quickness an
express train is capable Of. The rest can be
easier imagined than described; the harm
less paper in the lawyers hand very etitctu-
ally performed its duty, the attorney re-
ceived his fee, and the drummer" unre-
stricted, Wasat liberty to pursue his travels
through the sunny South.
