ing in reference to the proceedings of the Leg
slature on that day:
The lions were upon the path to-day in both
houses-Coghill and Guild in the House, and
Cochran and Thomas in the Senate. Their
roar rang to the echo. The bold and brave
fight Which Cochran made for Richmond should
meet d Warmf response from all of her citizens.
LIN the House Coghin opposed the lease of the
penitentiary, whilst Ould favored it. These
efforts We're great ones.

In week or two the Richmond Enquirer
will be. able to determine which is its s.man''
in the Arkansas embroglio, Brooks or Baxter.
It first tied to Brooks, then to Baxter, and then
again to Brooks, after learning that he had
been supporter of Greeley. As Brooks now
has the sympathy Of the administration, by rea-
son Of the action OF the court i'll the matter, the
next tack Of the Enquirer will be for Baxter
But it should NOT be hasty, and wait until the
legal Governor Is ascertained, and then oppose
him and abuse Gen. Grant.

Virginia for Virginians'' we thought had
been abandoned, and that Virginia was for
everybody who would come here and help us to
develop and build up Virginia. The Wing is,
however, still welded to its Chinese policy, and
opposing the change Of the gauge OF road
somewhere in eastern Virginia that has no con-
nection with the gauge OF any other road. vir-
ginia has been almost ruined by the character
OF her improvements heretofore. They were
conceived in local, exclusive spirit, and had
no reference to the outside world. We want
Virginia to be a part of this great country, par
iicipating in its increasing wealth, emulating
the spirit of progress and entering bravely into
competition with other States in the great en-
terprises of the age We naust get out of the
broom sage era.

LIE FAX BlLL.--While the tax bill was UNI
der consideration in the Senate on the 10th,
Mr.. kirkpatrick moved to postpone it, and adj
dressed the Senate in opposition to that fea-
tulre Of the bill which discriminates against
merchants and business enterprise generally.
lie assumed that the bill was unconstitutional,
which, according to our comprehension, is
true.
Mr.. Cochran followed Mr.. kirkpatrick On
the same side OF the question, and made q very
able speech, setting forth the impolicy and M
constitutionality Of the measure. He conten-
ded That the proposed tax would utterly crush
the cities OF the Commonwealth. In abiding
to the city of Richmond as she would be AZ
iected by the tax upon purchases Of merchants
MIR. Cochran paid anseloquent tribute to her
people. He referred to the succession Of disas-
tiers that had befallen Richmond-the losses by
fire and flood she had sustained-and declared
that the world did not afford an example Of
greater courage and enterprise under such ad-
verse circumstances. Now, just as Richmond
is getting strong enough to offer competition
to baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York, it
is proposed to strike her blow which will de-
stroy her prosperity, ruin her merchants. and
drive their trade away to foreign cities. He
could not contemplate such q. prospect without
horror, and he begged Senators not to be lead
INTO the fatal error Of imposing upon the mer-
chants OF Richmond and other cities and towns
OF the State Il tax which was unjust, oppressive
and too greivo,ls to be borne.

JUDGE HENRY E. BLAIR.-On the 10th the
Legislature elected Henry Il. Blair, OF Roam
oke, to fill the vacancy in the 14th District.
caused by the resignation of Judge Mahood.-
The State journal says OF Mr.. Blair;
It is seldom we feel justified in endorsing the
action OF our political opponents, and especial
" III their selection Of men to fill the high and
responsible positions pertaining to the Judicial
ny of the State. When we depart from our
usual habit our readers may rest assured there
is the most convincing evidence to us that we
are right. The Conservatives have elected
Hon. Henry E. Blair Judge of the Fourteenth
judicial district Of Virginia, an event which
surprises us the more because OF the. excellent
selection they made. The writer of this has
known Henry Il. Blair intimately. for many
years, and does not hesitate to proclaim him
peculiarly fitted for the position to which he
has been called. Pure as a man, able as a law
yer, and possessing mind far above even the
consideration OF an unjust judgment, he will
adorn the bench of Virginia with brilliancy
unsurpassed by any Of more wide spread repu-
tation. we tender our congratulations to the
people of the Fourteenth judicial district, and
especially to our Republican friends, who will
have judge to determine their differences, of
wisdom, OF honesty, OF ability, and above the
partisan prejudices which to so great an extent
reflect upon the present incumbents Of the
bench Of Virginia.
