Of September ~. 1869, and asserts that If

INTERESTING DISCUSSION IN THE
HOUSE OF DELEGATES.

House bill No. 46, in relation to pilots,
being on its engrossmenta and third reading,
elected discussion between the delegations
of Richmond and Norfolk, the former rep
resented by Messrs. Lovenstein and Dooley,
and the latter by Messrs. Borland, of Nor
folk, and Watts, of Portsmouth.
The questionis an exceedingly important
one, and under the present pilot laws, the
prosperity of our commerce is materially
affected. The Chamber of Commerce re-
Gently took action upon this subject, and
its views and conclusions were doubtles en-
bodied in the present bill recommending a
change.
Norfolk and Portsmouth nave evinced
considerable interest in this question, aris-
ing principally, we fear, from a sympathy
with the pilots. We cannot see how the
interests of those cities are to be affected by
a change in the present laws relating to
pilots.
Mr.. Watts made an able and interesting
speech in behalf of the pilots, and offered
such an amendment to the present bill as
would be satisfactory to them and the city
he represents. His amendment was re-
jected by vote of 81 to 81.
We are prepared to expect an exciting
debate upon this question, when the bill
comes up on its final passage.

RETURNED DIAMOND SEEKERS

A RETURNED DIAMOND SEEKERS
REPORT.-Wm. p. Burns, of Buffalo, N.
y, has returned to his home from the dia-
mond fields Of South Africa Mr.. Burns
was at the diggings from May to October,
inclusive, and managed to accumulate about
10 gems, varying from one quarter of
carat to 27l carats in size. His most valu-
able find, stone of % carats, brought him
&930 in London. The diamonds of South
Africa, as is well known, mostly incline
to straw color in hue, and, as the supply
has been immense. this variety of stone
has fallen proigiously in value.
Mr.. Burns adds, however, that his own
good fortune is by no means fair sample
of the luck usually met at the diggings.
He says that not more than two persons
out of hundred, on an average, succeed
in making a handsome thing of the busi-
ness. Many suffer and toll for months and
months, and are glad at last to get away
penniless. Mr.. Burns reports the further
interesting fact that a large proportion, if
not a majority, Of the seekers at the dia-
mond fields are Americans.

MAY THE BEST MAN WIN.-Thcre
are already four candidates announced for
the position Of Superintendent of public
printing, viz: Mr.. G. A. SchafIter, s.
McG. Fisher, VIM. Mcfarland, and John
j. Palmer. @a
We dare not express preference for
either of these gentlemen, as the opposite
party have habit of always doing Just
what we don't want them to do. Our
choice, if expressed, would be fatal to the
one upon whom it would fall. 1t is no
fight Of ours, and we must be content with
whatever our enemies give us. In such a
dilemma we can only hope the best man
may win. ~
The Democrats will hold a caucus to-
night for the purpose of nominating can
didate for this position. We wish the Gov
ernor would quit appointing notaries pub
lie and let the Legislature caucus for them
-'twould keep the members out of bad
company o. nights.

THE JOINT COMMITTEE ON THE PUB.
Lie DEBT had another sitting last night
in the Senate Chamber. But little actual
progress was made in the matter under
consideration. The debate was, at times,
quite excited, and the spirit of compromise
and Cancellation SO much talked about re-
Gently, was not made specially manifest by
the speeches of some of the members.
It's not very probable that any satisfac-
tory solution Of this mixed question will be
arrived at, and that the final action of the
committee will be likely to result in nothing
more than complication of financial diff
culties. We are without hope, unless
the committee agree to repeal the funding
bill from beginning to end. We believe, il
they do not. the General Assembly will.
