THE CANAL.-Maior J. W. Johnston,
president of the James River and kanawha
Company, was in the city yesterday, and
left on horseback, in company with Super
intendent Harris. for ride over the entire
western portion Of the line, including the
Clifton Forge extension. He informed us
that the work would be completed to Lex
iugton by the first OF September, and to Bu-
chanan by October.
In regard to the Clifton Forge extension
the Major stated that he expected to resume
work on that in month OF two If he could
raise some money, which he seemed to think
he could do. But for the flood he would
have had the road completed now and ready
for the rails. He is hopeful that, notwith-
standing the disasters with which lie has
had to contend, that he will be able to push
the greatIy-needed work through to compile
ton The energy which be has displayed
leads us to anticipate the best results

Leake, of West Felicana parish, testified
regarding their efforts to induce the colored
men to vote the Democratic ticket at the

in many cases misarplcd. The last election
was peaceable and quiet. Letters were
read from Thomas I. Kelley (colored), who
will be remembered as the door-keepcr OF

dence, La, and addressed to the Pot
ter subcommittee, in which he states
that the names of Jefferson and Lev
