Important Changes Proposed in
the Militia Law.

The Militia Committee reported to the
House of Delegates Saturday bill which
will be interesting to members of volunteer
companies. 1t is proposed to amend the
law of March goth, 1871. by the following
additional section: aA @ lts3
volunteer companies may be composed
of persons liable to military duty enrolled in
any regiment of the reserve militia and for
the encouragement Of volunteers, every officer
and member of any volunteer company Or
ganized as provided in the said act {March
20, 1919 shall be entitled,to have his name
struck from the rolls of the reserve militia,
and shall be exempt from jury service. But
to guard against persons becoming members
of volunteer companies for the purpose of
avoiding serving on juries, it shall be the
duty Of the commanding officer of every
company to strike from the roll of his com
pany the name of every man who fails or
neglects to perform any Of the duties incum-
bent on him as a member of such company :;
and be shall in every such case notify the
court Of the county, city. or town in which
the person resides that his name has been
stricken from the roll, and that be is liable
to perform jury duty; and shall otherwise
inform and notify the commandment of the
regiment of the reserve militia in which be
should BE- enrolled, SO that he may be en-
rolled in said regiment. Volunteer coinpa :
MES shall consist of not less than fifty nor
more than one hundred men, to be raised by
volup tary enlistment for five years. !"
The same committee has reported a joint
resolution requesting our. senators and rep
resentatives in the Congress of the United
States to take such action as to them shall
seem proper to secure the correction of any
errors which may have been made in the dis
tribution of arms by the War Department
to Virginia, and the restoration of the full
gu ota to which the State il entitled under
the acts ST 1903 and 1855, so as to obtain
for the State sufficient arms and equipments
to arm and euuip the militia,

During the past few days the large steam
force pumps used for supplying the engines
at the Michigan Southern Round House
with water have been working improperly,
and yesterday morning the supply of water
entirely ceased, though on measurement it
was found that the level of the bayou was
nearly four feet above the main that suppli-
ed the reservoir. On examination, the mys-
terry was explained. The we'll, ten feet in
length, six feet in width, and from twelve
to fifteen feet in depth, was one mass of live,
moving, Shiny fishes, varying from one-half
to six inches in length. Arrangements
were at once commenced to remove them,
and large quantities were returned again to
the water, but afterwards, realizing some

A Manly Letter.

Nobody needs to be told that Cassius M.
Clay was always consistent and uncom-
promising opponent of slavery. His opinions
were promulgated with vigor and elo-
quence which were not without influence,
at time when it cost something to pro-
claim them. He is, in fact, one of the
founders of the Republican party, and as
such his words are entitled to patient and
careful consideration. At the late conven-
ton Of the Liberal Republicans in Missouri,
an able letter was read from Mr.. Clay, from
which we make the following extracts:
If the Democrats are wise and just, the
blacks, FIVE millions of the South, will vote
with the South not because they are Dem
! ocrats Or Republicans, but because they are
Southerners No man is more Uniouist

New England interests, Western interests,

and must ever be dis!inct-aud yet all, the

There is still, however, faint attempt

England is greatly excited over the U. S.
claims for individual damages from Confed-
crate cruisers. One of these claims is for
the expense of the war after the battle Of
Gettysburg. President Grant is reported
easy on the question. He says the claims
are made out and before the joint arbitra-
tors, and if unjust they will decide it, and
asserts that he expects no trouble from it
Queen Victoria, 10 her speech to Parlia-
ment, says these claims, as she understood
them, would not be within the province of
the arbitrators. The English papers, how
ever, do not take it so cool)y, and intimate
that they may have to be settled in war
like way. We trust not, but we will see
