OUR REPRESENTATIVE IN:CON-
(sRESS.

West Virginia has every reason 10 ie'i
some pride in her able and efficient dele
CATION in Congress. 1t is true that ours
is a small State, and nur representation
small, but our d-i"S@t,'s occupy position
and wield M inauence, in proportion to
number, equal 10 the representation of
any other State.
In the Senate there is Mr.. DAVIS,
who, while not talking man, is a work
ing member, and by his untiring energy
and close application to his work enjoys
wonderful popularity among his
fellow Senators that gives him
an influence unsurpassed by. that
of any other Democratic men,
Der of the Senate. His colleague
Mr.. CAPERToN, although new member
has that force OF character which will
naturally elevate him TO a position of IN
fiuence and before the present session
closes will rank as one of
strong men Of the Senate.
Mr.. CApEEroN belongs to that school of
high toned old Virginia gentlemen that
always did exert wonderful influence
in our American politics.
In the House is Mr.. FAULSSER, who
in ability, superior :attaiments, finished
manners and experience is the peer of
any man in Congress His State pride,
national reputation and his wonderful
energy all combined give him every op-
portunity to render tine ser
vice for his constituents. 1t is true
that he is pretty well advanced in
in years, but he has all the vigor and
elasticity of youth. Mr.. HEREFORD
long experience and splendid record in
Congress give him an exalted position.
He is a gentleman who never loses sight
of the interests of his constituents but
exerts the best energies of his nature in
protecting their interests. 1t was but
Just recognition of his worth and services
in assigning HIM to the craftsmanship of
an important cornmittec. The repre-
sentative from our District, Col. WILSON,
is well known rs gentleman OF splendid
attainments, lawyer of great ability
and wonderful energy in the discharge of
his duties. Owing TO the fact that " est
Virginia is young State, Of small area,
with sparse population ard her wealth
to a great extent undeveloped
il could not be expected that she should
take front rank in our National Coun-
clls when brought along side with New
York, Pennsylvania and other great ana
wealthy States of the Union. Still she
is to-day occupying an envisble position
in Congress. One of her represen-
tatives is chairman OF sn important Com.
mittee, and the other occupying high po.
sitions on some of the most important
committees of the House. 1t will be
matter of great surprise if the State does
not derive some very substantial benefit
from their united efforts. And then when
we remember that we have n solid Dem
ocrstic delegation in Congress, it becomes
= matter of congratulation with the
Democracy that our Representatives are
rejecting so much credit upon the party
that elected them.

the opinion that not only has an Aus

provinces been determined upon, but that
some foreign occupation is absolutely ne
cessary as a protection against most
probable massacre of Christians wher-
ever they are unarmed and helpless.

SIR: The proposition pending at Albany to reduce

duction. But of course, it will do nothing OF the

often happens that to decide htty-doilar suit De-
