The Poor DEBTOR There have been
brought in the Circuit court Of Augusta coun-
ty, only about 25 uits for the June term
against something like four times that many
last year. Lawyers and creditors are not
pushing debtors so industriously as they did
before the passage Of tie amended bankrupt
law, for fear of driving them into Bankrupt
cy. They will off for while, doubtless.
until the law is modified or repealed, and
then let loose the dogs of war" Those who
may not have then secured their bankrupt
exemptions, will find that patience has been
exhausted, and the mill will begin to grind
again 1t is wonderful how small a thing
will create fellow feeling, and cxeits sym

have suitable grounds for the purpose.
In this connection, we have heard it intimated
that some of the stock holders have suggested
Ia divide. in consequence Of the recent sale for
600 of the grounds. We hope nothing Of the

the enterprise of the county and city, and convey
the impression abroad that instead Of keeping

CITY IrEMs.-The City Council did not meet on
It's regularly appointed night last week, Tuesday,
in consequence OF the Indictment weather, and
we could not therefore give regular report Of
the proceedings in our last issue. The Council
met on Wednesday night. Provision was made
for raising the amount due on the condemned
property for the Chesapeake & Ohio Raildroad
workshops by Issuing this city bonds to be sold at
par to amount to cover the sum adjudged, the
bonds to bear eight per cent interest, payable
semi. annually, redeeriable in twenty y ears, and
exempt from taxation.
The committee on the poor were instructed to
take into consideration the matter Of providing
an aims house for the city poor.

and letters received were laid before the council.

his authority, and here the matter rests.
Mr. English offered resolution instructing
the finance committee to Examine into the pro-
prIety and legality Of re assessment of the real
estate Of the city, and report thereon. There is
certainly great inequality in the assessment Of
property in this city. There should be read
ius:ment of it, if it can lie gotten at without in
aicting wrong We, however, leave the matter
for the present with the fdanee commit ee, whose
business it is to look into it, and report whether
it is possible or not.

company assembled at their house. With their
apparatus, they soon were placed on special
train of cars and fats. and speeded away to the

there they found that nothing effective could be
accomplished by them by reason of the falling
timbers in the tunnel and the insufferable smoke.
They returned, after doing all they could. the
next morning.
We hear from Maj. E. McMahop, who returned
home on last Saturday from Fayete county,
