have had during the month of June. The potato
bug has appeared in many places but not in des-

promises well, and a large breadth has been
sown.

The annual interest on this sum is $780,
00S.10. Now how much OF this are we pay
ing? It has been asked, II the delegates
and senators from Southwest Virginia had
known while the debt was being created
and the roads built that Eastern Virginia
negroes would be freed and relieved from
taxation, and that the Southwest Virginia
lands would have to bear the burden and
pay the debt, would they have voted for it?
In The first place, Eastern Virginia negroes,
by the Constitution OF this State, only paid
capitation tax which could not exceed the
tax assessed on three hundred dollars worth
OF land, and until twelve years OF age didn't
pay anything. They now pay almost or
quite as much on their heads and property
as was then paid on them. In the next
place, the act OF April 0, 1888, in express
terms, declared that the faith OF the State
was pledged to levy a sufficient tax on her
property to pay the debt. So property was
pledged IN the beginning. But to the real
point: Is Southwest Virginia bearing the
burden OF the taxation? Is she paying
more than she has received value for? Is
she paying enough taxes 20 meet the inter-
est on the money spent for her direct ben
eft?

of the immortal Toodles "Pleasure
first and business afterwards" On
Thursday was another grand pa
geant; again the Shah put in an
appearance, and for the benefit OF
your readers if asked to describe
him briefly, I should simply say ::
unintelligent and dirty, with 8
skin the color of Indifferent parch-
ment and the vulgar manners of q
clown.
One of the most striking features
of the review was the splendid es-
cort of the Marechal President.
Slightly in advance Of Gen. McMa- NJ Ia
hon came a magnificent body Of
mounted Bedouins in the wild CO.'S
tune of the desert, led by one of
their most celebrated chiefs. By
his side rode the inevitable Shah,
and following came a splendid cor
tege of Princes, mobiles and warriors
gorgeous in military decorations.
The Place de la Concorde and the
public gardens were Illuminated
and the evening closed with a num-
Der of grandes tetes given by the
different Cabinet ministers a nd 9
royal reception by President Nc
Mahon.
The Exposition, in the meantime,
grows apace the walks and every
ching else around the grounds begin
to assumea more finished and settled
appearance. The grand gallery, in
the east wing of the Trocadero
palace is open; and the Exhibition
is interesting and unique. From rom z
historical standpoint it is probably
the most profitable to be found in
the entire Exposition the collec'
ton of majolica is particularly in
teresting and the collection of
arms, armour carving, and ar
ticles Of virtue a2q ornament |!I;!4 Ft proc'F
only very fine, but very rare. A
superb collection Of Illuminated
missel works gives especial value
to this exhibit in the eyes of the
historical student.
The weather has been exceedingly
unsettled, rain being the rule andE
sunshiny days the exception. The
entries seldom fall under 100000
day, and on Sundays they reach
from 13O to 140 thousand.

PLANS OF THE EMIGRANTs.
The plan Of the emigrants is to
60 up the St. Paul's River into
the Bopoora country, between
fifty and sixty miles northeast OF
Monrovia. There the government
allows each head of family TWEEN
ty FIVE acres, and to a single man
ten acres"
"What does your association
propose to do now.?"
"We propose to go right ahead.
We have learned a.lesson from the
experiences Of the voyage Of the
Azor: and we will guard against
similar mishaps in the future. We
have made arrangements with
physician of Dedham, Mass; 10 60
On the next three trips, and we
shall have energetic sanitary
supervision over the amigrants.
This afair will DO US more good
than anything else. We intend
to send out two hundred more
emigrants as soon as the vessel re-
turns. There are over twenty
thousand already booked, and we
intend to keep on sending over all
who want to 60. We have bought
a tract Of land Of seven hundred
acres in Charleston, on which the
cmigrauts can settle uqtil trans
portati0n is ready for them. We
are making our arrangements now
for the purchase Of a steamship
for about $4,000 and with a
capacity Of seven hundred passen-
gers. Although We shall only
send two hundred and fifty at q
time, We shall have her on the
line by January l. We shall buy
it out Of the stock subscriptions
Qike we did the Azor,) which,
with the Improvements we put on
her, will cost about $4,000. Our
intention is to bring about COM
nereial relations between the col
onists and this country, and we
are trying to interest business men
in the matter. There they pro.
duce coffee, rice, sugar, indigo,
palm oil, arrowraot, ginger and
aamwood. The ivory trade Of
Liberia has increased tenfold in
the last six years, but the ivory
obtained from the interior is sold
to British merchants. Now we
want to sell it to American rner-
chants. In the event of want and
destitution among the colonists
we shall relieve them.'

tions enable you to undertake so

are casting about in that direction
now. We are willing to assume
the responsibility ofthe enterprise,
and have confidence in it's success.
We are bound to make it a grand

B. F. Porter, President of the Libe-

who is stopping in this city.
Mr.. Porter will be "a years Of age

man of intelligence, great steadfastness
of purpose, aud has strong faith IN
the success of the Liberian emigration
scheme, which he is so earnestly pro-
noting. He is quiet and rather re-

questions put to him frankly and free

African Methodist Episcopal Church,
and is pastor of the Morris Brown
Church of Charleston.
A PHYSICIAN ON BOARD.
In regard to the absence Of a ply
slcian on board the Azor, Mr.. Porter
stated that arrangements had been
made with DR.. J. W. Watts, of Wash
ington, to accompany the emigrants,
and they had confidently expected him
up to the time of the sailing of the
Azor. About week before the de-
parture of the ship he had sent them
telegram stating that he would be
sure to come. When the time came
and he did not appear Mr.. George
Curtis, one of the directors, who with
his wife was going with the emigrants,
offered to undertake the duties OF a
physician, and he was presented as
such to the Custom House authorl-
