Virginia gentleman one Of the o1den
time o--and lie has q peculiarly agreeable
way OF making one feel at home with
hin at once. Mr.. Bouverie told me
that many years ago he had travelled
through the western States with .ex-
President Tyler, and that DIR. Tyler
had given him such glowing accounts OF
Virginia that from that time to this he had
felt personal interest In all that concerned
the Commonwealth. He assured me that
not only among the bondhoIders, but among
Englishmen at large. there was q warm feel
ing OF affection for the Old Dominion.
"For younger sons like myself" said be-,
81 should think Virginia the best place in
the world, provided they go out when
young" MIR. BouYerie said TINT he bad
the utmost confidence in his Excellency
Governor Holiday, and that the bond
holders were prepared to Loyalty coGpe-
rate with the Governor and the Legis-
Iature in settling the debt question.
"You need money In Virginia." said Mr..
Bouyerie. "and Us soon as this debt ques-
ton is settled you will lind English capital
lists ready to help you. II Yirginians only
understood that credit is money these diff
entities would soon be ended." Mr.. Bouve-
rie thought that the publication Of Messrs.
McCulloch & Co.'s scheme was premature,
and that no scheme could succeed without
the aid of Messrs. Barring Brothers 81 GO.
The house of Barring and the Council OF
Foreign Bondholders even, he said, agreed
in policy, and both were ready 10 sustain

w. 7. Robertson, OF Albemarle, speaking
very highly Of Judge Mclaughlin, and say,
ing TINT the people OF the circuit would
sustain great loss If the General Assem-
bly should fail to reflect him.. MIR. EcHoLs
referring to the. charges OF Mr.-EF'RAzlER,
inserted his belief that 1t would be 1mpossi.

seen the Judge drunk on the bench. Mt.

or four years Judge Mclaughlin had been

also smoke. and with great effect, OF the
ability, purity, modesty, tirmness. bravery,
and kindliness of Judge Mclaughlin.
M 4 TURN OF AFFAIRS.
Mr.. MoFFETT seconded the nomination OF
Judge Mclaughlin. He declared that he
had never known Q better man or 1uoSc,
and that he would be almost afraid TO 20
back home through Augusta county II nc
voted against the Judge. He declared that
nature had rarely made q man OF such great
and good qualities.
Mr., FRAZIER begged TO withdraw the
name OF Major Dorman;. but declared that
he had tried TO do his duty and to truly rep
resent his county, and now, after present.
alton OF the facts, the odium OF the result
would be not upon him, but upon tnose
who should vote for the gentleman.
Mr. PoPHAM spoke in favor OF the reeiee-
ton Of Judge Mclaughlin.
Judge Mclaughlin received all the votes
cast (96), with one exception (Mr: JOHN K.
CATER, who voted for Major Dorman).
Messrs. FRAZIER and LADY, OF Rockbridse'
did not vote at all.
The House then proceeded with the cleo
ton OF judges for the Fourteenth, fn-
tecnth. and Sixteenth circuits. The present
incumbents Judges Blair, Fulton, ana
Kelly were reelected.
The vote this day, in each case leAceP'

The Tobacco-Tax.

A turn has come to the course OF the re-
duction of the tobacco-tax. 1t has The sup
port OF men OF great potency in financial IN
finenee, and we should think it quite sufti-
Gent that such influence should be taken
from the opposition and placed on the side
of reduction to secure its success. Thus
changed it counts double, and the defeat OF
last wear was attributed to the influence OF
these men.
We feel quite confident thot the bill re-
ducing the tax will pass. Commissioner
RAUM is rather transcending the duty OF his
office in his constant and passionate opro-
stion to reduction OF the tax. 1t is the
duty OF the executive department to keep
the legislative informed OF the facts bear
ing upon tie measures Of public policy and
matters of public concern, but when that
Is discharged by the Executive officer, we
think he is ut the end Of his tethpr. To the
representatives OF the people should be left
the argument and the weighing Of facts and
deciding what bearing they have upon
pending propositions. Mr.. RACM hasstrug-
cled like a partisan anG not like an execu-
tive officer, whose position would suggest
the propriety OF a little more discretion,
a little more Difference to his superiors.
We take occasion to say. this, and to add
that Commissioner RAUM is not at all pattern
ing after the men in public responsibility
in other days. Suffice it to say that all in
favor OF the reduction Of the tobacco tax
look upon Mr.. RAuM as much like partisan
lobbyist see,: ing to push forward for personal
consideration some matter Of policy or i'm
provement. We mean no intimation that
Mr.. RAUA is under corrupt influence, We
could not from what we know possibly
throw out such an intimation. But we do
say that Commissioners RAUM trenches upon
the province OF the representative in going
too far with bis executive intervention.
We do not mean to say what effect re-
duction will have, but we believe it will
not diminish much, II at all, the Govern
ment revenue from tobacco; and we think.
it will likely increase the revenue from that
subject. at all events, the tobacco bust
ness will derive much good from the reduc-
ton, and the revenue, if temporarily di-
minished, will soon return to its proper
condition s..@ p. ."-.u.-s
