The st. Louis Republican announces
the death of James Long, who removed to
the West with his father, Lawrence Long,
from Caroline county, Va, in 1875. He
was native of Port Royal, in that county.
Negotiations are pending for the estab-
lishment of the publishing house of the

"A colored man named Cornelius Car
ter was struck with a club and stabbed in
the arm with knife while in the custody of
an officer at Petersburg yesterday. 1t is
said that Carter resisted the officer, who
called for assistance. Preston Roper was
arrested and held to bail in 800 on the
charge of striking Carter. A warrant was
issued for the arrest of Henry Jarvis, who
is charged with doing the cutting.
The term g Old Dominion" as applied
to Virginia, is said to have originated from
the following facts: During the protecto-
rate of Cromwell the colony of Virginia
refused to acknowledge his authority, and
sent to Flanders for Charles III. to come
and reign over them. Charles accepted,
and was about to embark when he was
recalled to the throne of England. After
his accession, as reward to Virginia for
her loyalty, he allowed that colony to
quarter the arms Of England, Ireland and
Scotland with his own, showing her to be a
member of the "Old Dominion" The
historical facts on which this statement is
based seem well founded, and such is said
to be the origin of the term as applied orig
inally to the colony and now to the State.

The STATE-HoUsE.-The impression
which has long prevailed that the State
House is unsafe has been much strength
ened by the discoveries which were made
yesterday. A great many of the arches in
the basement show ominous cracks and
breakages, and furnish abundant reason to
apprehend a tremendous crash at any day
or hour. The statue which was yesterday
removed from its accustomed position,
weighs not less than five tons, we should
think. We presume this work of art will,
under the circumstances, be removed en-
tirely from the rotunda, to await further
action on the part of the Legislature.
We regard the SLate-House as wholly un-
safe, as it is wholly inadequate in size and
appointments for the transaction of the
public business. 1t is worn out by use and
time, and no amount of patching will rem
der it safe or serviceable. 1t is extremely
unfortunate that so much money was spent
upon it during the past few months. The
question of building a new STATED House is
one which the people of Virginia will have
to consider at once and speedily determine.

Returns of the Election Coming in Slowly
Jacob Undoubtedly Elected.
Wheeling, W. Va, August 27-The
returns of Thursdays election from coun-
ties beyond the reach of the telegraph come
in very tardily. Corrected reports from
thirty-five counties reduce Gov. jacobs
majority to little over 1880.
Thirty Counties as now reported give
100 for the constitution. 1t is
generally conceded that the rest Of the
State will increase the majority for the
constitution and diminish that of Jacob |;
but it is not considered possible that MIR.
Jacobs majority can be overcome, as the
populous part of the State has been heard
from. Davis election to Congress in this
district is assured by 500 or 600 majority.
Mr.. j. M. Hagous, Republican, was voted
for Congress, without opposition, in sever
al counties of the Second district. The
proposition to insert "white" in the Con-
stitution as qualification for Office receiv-
ed but $50 votes in this county in some
counties it received the full Camden vote.
1t is, undoubtedly, defeated.
FURTHER RETURNS.
Wheeling, August 2S.-The Latellsgencer
has corrected reports from forty-six coun-
ties, most of them official, which give Gov
ernor Jacob a majority of 3,206.
Reports on the Constitution from forty
one counties give majority Of 900 for
ratification. Eight counties are yet to be
heard from on the Governor, and thirteen
on the Constitution.
The Iptelligencer estimates that these
will reduce Jacobs majority to $500, and
increase the majority for the Constitution
to 1900.
Davis for Congress from this district has
l,olo majority, with one small county te
hear from.
