NOT so BAD A BARGAIN AFTER ALL,
Two small rocky islands in the Behrine
Sea-" says the London Globe, twill soon
have paid back to the United States
Treasury the whole sum expended upon
the purchase of Alaska. When the cession
Of this territory was granted by Russia, peo-
pie smiled at the bargain made by Ameri-
cans. 1t was asserted that Yankee shrewd-
ness had deserted Mr.. Seward in the mat.
ter. He knew better, and did not buy
with his eyes shut. st. Paults and st.
Georges islands. belonging to the Aleutian
cham, have since been leased to the Alaska
commercial company for seal-fishing at a
yearly rental of $4,000. A tax Of near
ly S3 on each fur seal skin taken and ship
ped from the islands is also imposed. AS
100, 900 skins are exported yearly now to
San Francisco and New York. fruitful
source of revenue is obtained from these
two barren rocks. This territorial enter.
prise of the United States is therefore a
great success, and will probably help to de-
velop the idea so rapidly growing in Ameri-
ca that colonial possessions are useful from
many national points of view"

Resignation of senator Greene,

We publish to-day letter from Mr.. R
G. Greene, of Petersburg, addressed to
his constituents. announcing his resignation
of the office of state senator, which he
has held for the past three years. While
we regret to lose Mr.. Greene from the sem
ate, we can but approve of the eminently
patriotic course which he has seen proper
to pursue. He has been diligent,
faithful, and conscientious member,
and has earned and enjoys an honora-
BILE reputation, not only among his own
partisans, but among those of opposite
views, as a most faithful representative of
the people and the interests of the state.
His resignation creates a vacancy in the
Senate, which we presume will be filled at
the general election next fall, and if by
gentleman SO fully qualified for the posi-
ton as Mr.. Greene, the district will have
cause for sincere congratulation.

PETERSBURG, VIRGINIA,

George and S,o~y::
| have this day transmitted my resigna
ton as senator for this district, to the gov

issue his writ of election to fill the va
cancy.
While my reasons for this step are gen
orally known, l take this method of com
municatlng my action to you, that all may
understand my position.
The general order of the President of the
United States forbidding federal officers
holding certain state Offices has been &C.
cepted by the people as measure eminent.
ly wise and proper. In order that you
might not be deprived Of representative in
the Senate for the concluding thirty DAYS
of the last session of the General Assem-.
bly,, and on account Of the deep interest
felt in certain public measures then pend
ing, | was very glad to avail myself Of the
kindness of President Grant, who, unsoli-
cited by me, made an exception in my case
in the application of his order.
Now that the General Assembly
has adjourned, see no good reason why
l should longer remain an exception to
general rule, and therefore have rendered
my resignation so as to afford ample oppor-
tunity for the people to fill the vacancy
before the assembling of the next legisla-
ture.
In doing so take occasion to renew the
expression of my heartfelt thanks for your

takes, and undoubtedly have erred in
Judgment. Yet, looking back over my
legislative course-which | shall ever
regard as the most interesting period of my
life-I cannot now remember any vote or
act that l would wish to change. l know
that my associates in the senate, of both
political parties, will testify to the regularity
of my attendance upon the sessions of that
body and its committees, and my interest in
al subjects that came before us concerning
The material interests or general welfare Of
The people of all shades Of opinion. And
10 not believe that any one will charge me
With the neglect of any private interest con-
