ASIDE from the public interest that is
felt in the investigation of the Credit
Mobilier scandal, thereis another and more
cogent reason why the committee should
open the doors upon its reassembling,
after the holiday vacation. The experience
of the people with respect to close inyesti-
eating committees has not been Of kind
to promote confidence in their verdlcts.
The people want to know the evidence
upon which these verdicts are based. 1t is
not enough to furnish this evidence IN
printed reports which never reach the peo-
pie, and which are not even published until
long after the interest in the controversy
has passed away along with the opportu-
nity for doing justice.

MosT persons who receive letters have
complaints against the carrier. He, in his
turn, complains that he is delayed in his
delivery by being compelled to ring the bell
and wait until the girl'' is ready to
come and answer it. The Postmaster
General at Washington and Postmaster
Jones, of New York, have united in cir
cular asking the public to provide letter
boxes or other safe receptacles where
mail matter can be deposited by the car
riers without delay. The safe and quick de-
livery of letters can in no other way be
accomplished as the Postoffice Department
is at present organized. Here is sug-
gestion which our people can act upon,
and thus avoid all complaint in future. A
suitable letter-box can be affixed to doors
at very small cost.

THE formal protest Of Great Britain
against Russian occupation of Afghanstan
indicates that the Eastern question is again
looming up into prominence. Since the
Crimean war Afghanistan, which lies be-
tween the British possessions in India and
those of Russia in Turkomania, has been
an independent State, constituting an i'm
portant barrier to the Russian schemes of
territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT in the Orient.
Latterly Russia has renewed in threaten
ing manner her traditional policy for the
extension of her domains into Hindostan,
and the action of Great Britain evinces a
determination to check, at all hazards, the
aggressions of Russia, Prince Gortschakoti
having been notified that, in event of Rus
sa's invasion of Afghanistan, England
would support the latter in maintaining her
independence.

MOMESTEAn EXEMPTION.

1t would be wise policy in the govern
mert to encourage and secure as many
homecoming citizens as possible; such
have larger interests and must havea strong
er desire to promote enduring government
and perpetual peace than persons who own
no permanent homes. Other things being
equal, man with a family, who owns and
occupies portion of the soil, must be
o better citizen than he who does not
though we have many good and reliable
citizens who do not own their homes, still,
however good, they would be all the better
if they did own them. They have greater
interests and treasures at stake, and more
inducement to suffer IN case Of war and
disorder. Besides they will be more likely
to secure obedience to and prevent viola
lations of the laws; hence, lawmakers
should do all that is reasonable to exempt
homes from forced sales, and secure fami-
lies in possession of them.
We have ''household exemption" law
in Virginia, but there is an unjust excep-
ton in it IN .faror Of la,cyers' fees, but
no exception in favor of the farmer who
supplies bread, or the doctor who cures
the sick, or the merchant who furnishes
clothing and groceries. The lawyer alone
must be protected in his greed for fees.
This is not right !; and when majority of
farmers, or other than lawyers make the
laws, this injustice will be corrected. All
honest debts should be paid, but industry
and honor will secure the payment of all
just debts better than law.
Here is point for the patrons of industry
as well as the advocates of law to consider.
Do away with the fragrant injustice that
now exists under the rulings of our courts,
which give most unrighteous discrimina-
ton in favor of a,de-bcltim debts, and you
will see industry, thrift, ana even honor
taking a more conspicuous apd advanced
position in regard to both private and public
indebtedness. So long as the law fayors
the grasping and INSCRIPTIONS creditor
to the prejudice of the man who would
g live and let live, we shall
have every possible subterfuge to
avoid meeting pecuniary obligations. Even
the worm will turn to inflict sting when
trampled upon by the wanton and unteel-
ing in their arrogance and strength. Sc
cure the Virginia Homestead against ex-
tortion and swift-looted creditors-against
the craft of lawyers and the injustice of
courts-against even profiigacy and unthrift
in the individual owner, and you will
have Honor to take the place of Law in the
collection Of debts, and thrift to supercede
prodgal waste Of means, or, what is
equally clog to prosperity, a desperate
indifference as to success when it is even
possible Of attainment.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Whtg,
writing from Buckingham county, speaks
in earnest approval of the proposed Rich
mond and Trans-Alleghany Railroad line,
a charter for which has been prepared by
General Imboden Of this city, with map
of the proposed route, for the consideration
of the General Assembly, and says that
the people of that vicinity highly appreci-
ate and approve the action taken by
General Imbodcn. This county, the writer
says, has /" back bone' just suitable for
this route, if it is built, which will save a
million of dollars in obviating the graders
work. This " back bone" consists, in the
main, of the divide in the water sheds of
the SLATE" and willis" rivers, and is
forty miles long, running northeast and
northwest.

A STEAMSHIP designed for the special
work of laying submarine cables is to be
built for cable manufacturing company
in England. 1t will be able to take on
board 5000 to 1000 miles Of cable, but
will be smaller than the Great Eastern,
and will cost much less to run than that
great vessel. The difference indeed is
such that the new ship is expected to effect
an important saving in the cost of snbma-
rine lines. But what is to become OF
Brunel's gres. masterpiece Hitherto the
existence of the Great Eastvr- at the time
when the new industry of cable laying be
gan, has been looked upon as one of the
happiest providences known in history
and is very doubtful whether cable laying
would have been SO successful without it
We shall look with curiosity to the future
of the splendid but not over useful ship.

of the sentence of Alexander A. Semmes,

pended him from rank and duty, and he
will again be ordered to duty by the De-

he received, however. by the Secretary at

therein that if the sentence of the court
had been severer the Department would not
