to his lodgings at the Imperial Hotel.
He had numerous callers During the
day. among whom were several news

was reticent, and said that he had
no policy to be forershadowed. The
Chronicle says:

than he did last October. His face

preston than it did then. The thicl =

all been snloOthed out. and the harsh

erect as ever, his step quick and firm
as boys, his shoulders still suggest
that they might have been laid out
with carpenters square, aud ex-
cept the silver hair that curls grace
fully about his round. comba;iye
head. there is nothing in his person
to tell the story of his trials snd tib-
ulatiOns, nor anything to suggest ihat

The House of Delegates has passed
"a bill appointing commissioners of
transportation and defining their du-
ties and powers" The Board is to
be composed of the Governor, Secreta-

The commissioners are to have the

shall examine the same and keep
themselves informed as to their con-
dition, and the manner in which they
are operated, with reference to the Sc
curity and accommodation of the pub
lie, and the compliance of the several
railroad corporations with the provis
ions of their charters and the laws of
the wealth
Whenever in the judgement OF the
commissioners it shall appear that
any railroad fails to comply with the
terms of its charter or the laws of the
State, or whenever in their judgment
any repairs are necessary upon its
road, Or any addition to its rolling
stock, or any addition to or charge in
its stations or statiOn-hOuses, or any
change in its rates of fares for trans
porting freight or passengers, or any
change in the mode of operating IS
road and Conducting its business, is
reasonable and expedient, said COM
missiOners are to inform such railroad
corporations of the improvements and
changes which they adjudge to be
proper by a notice thereof in writing,

certified by the commissioner clerk.
with the president, treasurer, or any
director of said corporation and re-
port of the proceedings snail be inclu-
ded in the annual report of the COM
missioners of the Legislature.
The powers and duties conferred
upon the Board of Public works, so
far as they relate to the supervision Of
railroads., are to be transferred to the
commissioners OF transportation.
1t is to be the duty of the commits
sioners, upon the application of the
Council of any city or town, to make
an examination of the condition and
operation of any railroad, any part of
whose location lies within the limits
of such city or town. If upon exam
inatiun ii shall appear to said commits
sioners that the complaint alleged by
the Council is well founded they shall
so adjudge, and shall inform the cor
poration operating such railroad Of
their adjudication in the manner be-
fore stated.
The railroads are at all times to fur
nish the commissioner with informa-
ton required, and are to transport The
commissioners and their clerks free
when in discharge of their duties
The clerk of the Board of Public
Works Is to be clerk of the commits
sioners, without additional eompen-
,atioa.. The commissioners are to re-
rort to the Legislature in December of
every year. Upon the occurrence OF
any accident upon railroad which
shall result in personal injury or loss
of life the railroad company shall no.
tify the commissioners, and the COM
missioners are to investigate the same.
This bill is yet to be acted upon by
the Senate:

THE NEW PROPOSITION.

The London agent of the Vir-
ginia Bonholdcrs has made a new
proposition, which is a monstrols
one and yet we iird Virginia Leg
islators and Virginia journals adyo~
eating it. Itprovidcs for rccapital~.
izing the debt of tic State so that
BOTH PRINCIPAL AHD INTEREST are
to be paid in gold, In London. At
first it named five per cent as the
rate of interest but now four per
cent is the rate named. Against
we add the price of foreign ex-
change and the premium on gold.
the two per cent conceded will
amount to no concession at all.
In the name of Southwest Vir-
ginia We warn our Legislature that
these terms will never be submit
ted to by the people and the at,
tempt make them binding will lead
to prompt and complete repudia-
ton.
The Bondholder demands that
VIC shall pay the debts of our an
cestors without the right to inherit
their property, and the people will
do no such thing!

ROAD-NIASTER BENSON.

Tie COURIER is mistaken as to
Engineer Holloway being ordered,
under pain of removal, by Road
Master Benson, to cross the fatal
tfestle. Mr.. Conway and Mr..
Waldie were both present and
from them we learn that Benson
told Holloway there was no dam
ger. Mr.. Waldie told him there
was and that he ought to send h's
engine over crtipty and allow his
fireman to mount it after it cross
cd. This he declined, saying he
believed there was no danger, yet
as matter of prccaution he told the
fireman to dismount, as one was
enough to go over.
Mr.. Benson's error was merely
one of opinion and it seems to have
been fully shared by Mr.. Holloway.

fine valley which will average
two miles vide through this
country. 1t empties into the Arkan-
sa5 river one mile from the Indian
Territory. The soil is a black loan,
Its depth is from three feet upwards
The Arkansas river runs through this
county in a SOutheasterly direction.
1t has very large bottom from eight
to twelve miles in width and its soil is
y sandy loan and very productive
There are many other streams run
ming through The country with rich
and beautiful yallies. We haze three
grades of land. first, bottom. second
bottom and high land. The finest of
this land can be bought for ten dollars
per acre. Winfield, our county town,
beautifully situated on Walnut, with
fifteen hundred inhabitants, has three
papers i: one Democratic, one indie
pendent. and one Republican also
one Democratic paper published at
Arkansas city, making four papers in
this county. How is that for cOun-
try that has been settled only four
years?
We have remarkably healthy
country ; the climate is somewhat like
the climate of East Tennessee. only we
have no mountains to break the winds
We have had the coolest winter ever
known in this part of the country

low zero. l should be very proud TO
