PRoPosEp INTRODUCTION OF LINEN INDUS
TRY IN VIRGINIA. The representative of a
large linen mandatory in Ireland is now
prospecting in Virginia, with view Of es
tablishing an extensive manufactory in our
State. The reason for the change is that
the lands in ireland SO long devoted to the
production of fax. have so deteriorated that
the bre is too short for successful and ex-
tensive manufacture, and the object is to
place the machinery and skilled labor en-
ployed in close proximity to more extensive
and better supplies of raw material. This
Irish gentleman is fovorably impressed With
many OF the advantages which our State pre-
SCENTS, and is strongly prejudiced in favor Of
Lynchburg as the point for his future oper-

The first was on bill proposed by Mr.. Ac-

all persons from the legal as we'll as the 20 :
litical disabilities of the fourteenth amend
ment. This was lost by 106 to 90. two
thirds not voting therefor. Then Mr..
Dawes, of Massachusetts offered bill to re-.
move all political disabilities, but this was
also lost by 131 to SO. Mr.. Hale, of
Maine, at this stage submitted bill remov-
ing all disabilities except those imposed on
officers of the army and navy, and Senators
and members who left the service of the
United States to join the rebellion This
was carried by ITO to 81. Among those
voting in the negative were Mrssrs Hoar,
of Massachusetts, Mercer. of Pennsylvania
Porter, Of Virginia. and Rainey, (colored J
of South Carolina. The only difference be-
between this and the other House bill
now in the Senate is that the latter adds to
the list of exceptions all members of State
conventions who voted for ordinances Of
secession. 1t is now believed that the bill
will finally BECOME law in the latter shape
as it is quite evident that neither house is
willing to 60 as far even as the President in
favor Of general amnesty. 7a b.
