We therefore, say we are pleased to see
his name spoken Of in connection with

thing by nominating him. We modestly
without desiring to be understood as med

The New York Tribune Of Friday co.,
taincd the following paragraph concerning
the success Of the scheme Of the Chesn'
psake and Ohio Railroad Company 10 fund
lis bonds in order 10 proceed with the
heavy operations Of its road and the COM
plelions Of its western connections, which
are indispensable to that high degree Of
activity aud prosperity Which the company
itself ard all Of its friend have so cohbden'
tIy anticipated for its road;
"Iu regard to the funding Of The coupons
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio bonds, as pro.
oo.ed by the company 10 the circular Of
The treasurer dated October 81, we learn
that he has received already the acceptanceS
ofboIders of over 81, 900, 900 Of the bonds,
and It is probable the plan will be carried
out substantially as laid down. At the
suggestion of some of the largest holders Of
the bonds it has been proposed that instead
of an absolute surrender ofthe coupons OF
the company they should be placed in es-
crow, so that should foreclosure under
either Of the mortgages on the road occur
the coupons will still be entitled TO their
lines under the mortgage. OF course as
interest is paid on the income bonds On
equal amount Of the coupons held IN Gs'
crow will be cancelled and delivered to the
company This reasonable suggestion
of the bondholders will no doubt be acced
ed to by the managers Of the compaoy =
With this modification, the objections to
the plan as FIRST put forth aro removed,
and will doubtless insure its general adopt
ion"

The Act authorizing The Board of Pub
lie Works to issue certificates to the mem

nature Of the Governor By the way, this
Congressional question is getting warmed
up down in those parts, and the matter is
causing considerable discussion 1t is
lhoughtby some, that Congress will not
recognize either those who were elected in
October or those in August, but will send
the whole matter back to the people aud

pers of Sherif's sales, the list Of lands de-
iinqcut for taxes, and other legal matters
of public interest aud Importance, has been
passed by the Senate, and is nov under
consideration in the House Of Delegates
1t ought to become law, and We doubt
not that the members Of the House will
give it their concurrence. The old system
Of posting important legal notices upon the
door of the Court House has been out
grown The publicity attained thereby
is not sufficient for the protection of either
the parties immediately concerned or of
the people at large The county neTspa,
pers of the State afford by far the best
meaus Of giving information Of important
sales, aud we wonder that they have not
received fuller recognition heretofore :
The present Legislature will do itself cred
it and deserve and receive the thanks of
both the press aud the public if it gives US
good law in relation to the advertisement
Of legal notices
