gzs~The Legislature of Virginia is taking the
bull by the horns in very positive way. ItprO-
poses to cut down all the salaries of State officers
and members of the Legislature, and do away with
a number Of useless clerkAhips, thereby saving to
the State seventy thousand dollars year. When
Gov. Holiday, of that State, proposed to the Leg
slature that 81 goo per year be taken from his
salary he did an act which ought to rebound to
his credit, and the good effects of which are al
ready being made apparent.

same on a table without uttering n wOrd.' They
are then to spend an hour in silence, but may com
municate by signs, deaf and dumb alphabet ges-

within the hour is to pay forfeit to be imposed
by a majority of the attendants. The fun on such
occasions is sometimes sidesplitting.

~ Miss Susan Dickie, an educated maiden
lady of forty years of age, has been liberated
from the Bloomingdale insane asylum by the Su-
preme Court of New York, after a confinement of
six years and half. She was sent there by some
relations, but she is pronounced to be o: sound
mind, and was never otherwise. Her father late
ly dying, leaving an estate of over a million, and
she being one of the heirs, brought her to the
public attention. That sane person can be thus
incarcerated shows that there is monstrous crimi-
nalty somewhere.

On the 3lst Mr.. Williams, probably in a face
tious mood, proposed that the House take no re-
cess on the 22d, but that the Declaration of indie
pendence and WashingtOn's farewell address be
read. and then the House proceed to the business
of the day as usual" Mr.. Perkins, republican
offered an amendment to add the Constitution OF
the United States. The House rejected that in
stantly. The previous question was called for and
sustained. The House refused to accede to Mr.
Williams proposition, and adjourned until Mon
day.
In vain Mr. Williams fought on Thursday, the
bill to establish free bridge over the Patapsco
river, at or the present site of Light street
bridge A motion to re-cOmmit to the Judiciary
Committee obtained only 9 votes, with 56against
Then Mr.. Johnston took up the cudgel and tried
to get in an amendment to leave the purchase or
building of the bridge optional This was tug.
The vote was close, being yeas %, nays 80. The
bill was then ordered to be engrossed for third
reading.
The Senate amendments to the Baltimore cOun-
ty Wild Fowl bill were adopted to-day, and the
bill was passed, as amended by the House.
On Monday Mr.. Williams obtained leave for the
Committee on Ways and Means to introduce bill
10 pay Nathan Watts of Baltimore county for
laying stone and constructing stone wall at State
Cattle Scales.
On the same day Mr.. Williams presented the
minority report from the committee to consider the
Eastern Shore Senatorial law lie and Mr.. Den
mis- oppose repeal. Messrs. Scharf, Brace and Key
favor repeal. The consideration of the reports
was made the order of the day for Friday.
On motion of Mr.. Williams the bill to author
ize the appointment of commissioners to adjust
and settle the boundary between West Va. and
Md, was, on its second reading, referred to the
select committee that subject.
The anti local optiOnists are aroused, and Mr..
Higgins of Baltimore. it seems, is of their
leaders. They even attack and gnash their teeth
at district bills to prevent the sale of intoxicating
liquor, at or within mile of the village of Ash
land, Baltimore county, and when this was before
the House its second reading, Mr.. higgins
wanted it made the order of the day for Tuesday
next. That is an excellent way to help to kill an
unpopular bill. Eight votes was all the motion
could secure, and AZ responded may, verify. The
bill was then ordered to be engrossed for third
reading.
Mr.. Banks attempted to-day to get the vote re-
considered by which an unfavorabe report was
adopted on bill in relation to streets and pave
ments in Baltimnre county, but was too late. The
rules of the House prevented motion to recon-
slider to be made after three days had elapsed

The President on the Chinese Question.
Washington, Jan. 19.-There is no
authority for the published statements
that President Hayes is opposed to leg
islative enactments for restriction Of
Chinese immigration and that he be-
lieves the only proper way to prevent
wholesale Mongolian immigration is by
treaty stipulations. The President
fully recognizes the power Of Congress
to legislate on this subject, and in case
Congress manifests willingness to take
the short and certain road for attain
ment of the relief and protection de-
sired, he is not at all inclined to inter-
pose any obstacle to the exercise of this
power. He would, nevertheless, for
obvious reasons, prefer that restrictive
action should be taken by the Chinese
government if possible, or that China
should formally acquiesce in such ac-
tion on our part. He is disposed to
think that it would be wise and proper
to Immediately invite the attention of
the Chinese government to the subject.
