receptions everywhere, save in Kentucky.
No wonder Eastern papers demand his re-

CRED1T.-The credit system is too prevalent
in Virginia. and we hope the passage of the
amended bankrupt law by Congress, by which
all the exemptions of State laws are allowed a
bankrupt will have the effect to curtail the
credit system, and approximate the cash sys-
ten. There is entirely too much credit for
safety and success in business. No man is
safe when he has to carry on his books, nearly
the entire amount of his clear profits. 1t has
become too much the habit to study how not
to pay debts, instead of making denials and
personal sarifces to pay them, and the sooner
our people educate themselves to the gold

A REMARKABLE OLD MAN.-There is man
residing at North Branch Bridge, six miles be-
low this city, named John Russell who is nine
ty-fve years of age, aud he is still able to do a
good days work He retains almost unim-
paired the use of all his faculties, and is able
to distinctly read newspaper without the aid
of glasses. He is employed upon the canal
there as lock tender, the duties of which he
performs regularly and satisfactorily. He has
an aversion to railroad cars, and frequently
walks to this city and back again 10 few hours.
Mr.. Russell owns farm 10 Indiana, and he
contemplates journey on foot to that distant
State Tor the purpose of seeing his land. From
present appearances we have no doubt Mr..
Russell can perform the feat We doubt
whether another man can be found in this coun-
try possessing as good health and as able
bodied, at the age of IS years. as Mr.. Russell.

suit is in progress of Henry A. Tilden
against Benjamin F. Butler, to recover about
$4,000 damages for the seizure Of the steam

steamer Fannie which sailed from Baltimore,
few days ago, one hundred picked men, and a
large amount of arms, and ammunition of all
kinds, intended to be landed in Cuba. Other
steamers with troops, it is said, are to sail I'M
mediately, or have already gone to join the ex-

formidable attempt yet made to aid the Cubans
in establishing the independence Of their island.
