Meeting of the Creditors of c. S. w his


On Wednesday some 40 or so of the
creditors Of c. S. Whistler, Of Davenport,
held meeting to investigate his affairs.
A list Of his debts, amounting to 800, ,603,-
48 was read, but this did not include mort
cages on several pieces Of his property.
A committee, consisting of Messrs.
Whitaker, Squires and Dessalnt, was ap-
pointed to investigate who was in charge of
Mr.. Whisler's store, whether any goods
had been removed therefrom since the as
signment, and if so, by whom.
James Armstrong, of New York, and
Messrs. J. D. Campbell, Mayor Rose.
Foster and Whitaker, Of Davenport, were
appointed to i1vestig ate the affairs of the
estate, its liabilities and assets, and report
some plan to be pursued which will be fol
the best interests of all concerned.
The Gazette says,of the meeting:
None of the gentlemen had smiling
faces, and most of them were inclined tC
use bitter language. Come to get the his
tory of Mr. Whisler's business manage
ment, the wonder is that he did no
fail years ago."
The Democrat says:
There seemed to be an ugly feeling
against Mr.. Whistler by some of thost
present, especially the class who were no
possessed of a superabundance of thi:
worlds goods, and who loaned the few
hundred dollars they had to spare, believ
ing it was as safe as if in the bank. A re
port that Mr.. Whistler had left town. whicl
was spread among those at the meeting, i
not true, as he is in consultation this af
ternoon with the committee last named
The report grew from the fact that Mrs
Whistler and one of the girls left for Iii
nois, having been summoned thither to at
tend the funeral of her mother.

Captain James M. Steuart

% Saturday afternoon, at two o'clock, the
Democratic members of the House of Repre-
seutatlves will meet in caucus to nominate a
Speaker and to select gentlemen to fill the
other important positions in the House. While
We 10 this section of the State feel interested
that good man should be selected as Speaker
(tor 10 the wisdom of the selection the success
OF the Democratic party in the next campaign
will greatly depend we are more directly inter-
ested 10 the success of the gentleman whose
oame heads this article At the solicitation of
many Influential friends, Captain Steuart has
consented to become candidate for Postmas-
ter of the House. No one could be found bet
ter fitted for the position. Firm and uoyield-
ing where principle is involved, be is genial
and courteous 10 bis manner and prompt aud
efficient in the transaction of any business en-.
trusted to him. Captain Steuart has filed
many Offices during bis life, and 10 all of them
has shown himself capable and worthy. For
some years previous to the war he was sheriff
OF one OF the largest and wealthiest counties in
California, and many old Californans will re.

ties OF his Office, when to do so required cour-

The General Assembly of Virginia convened
at the Capitol, 10 Richmond, at noon to-day, a
quorum being present in both Houses.
Lieut. Gov. Thomas presided in the Senate,
and Marshall Hanger, esq.,, Of Augusta, who
has tor several years past SO worthily filed the
Speakers chair in the House, was again elected
to that position.
The organization having been completed, the
Governor sent 10 his message, which was read,
and ordered to be printed.
And now it is to be hoped that there will be
no unnecessary delay on the part of tho body 10
proceeding to transact the business that has :
be done, and that the complaint heretofore so
justly made OF dilatoriness will not again be
heard this winter. There is no reason for a
proloDgatloD OF the session, or for putting of
the important work to the last, when, on &C
count of the hurry and confusion consequent
upon the closing of the session, it is generally
imperfectly done. Another evil justly CON-
planned of, and which should be "nipped 10 the
bud, Is the habit some members have of alb.
sentiug themselves from their places on the
most frivolous pretexts or to atteod to private
business at the public expense. A remedy for
this crying evil should be at once devised and
put into effect, and good results will follow.
Amending the code might, with great pro-
prlety, be dispensed With, and with proper
diligence there seems DO good reason at pres
ent why the session should last over sixty days,
and to this end We hope the members will
direct their energies. Such as do so will re-
ceive the plaudits Of their constituents, while
all others will rather receive the condemnation
they will justly deserve We hope for the best
results from the Legislature.
