boys who delight to stalk about on stills
will now find that they can put their skill to
some practical use. There is hardly young

peculiar means OF locomstion, and when the

shoe leather, to say nothing Of the advantage
to clothes. The ambition of boy seems to
be to travel on little higher pair of stills
than his neighbor. Thus it is that the soles
of some boys shoes are four and some times
five feet from the ground. Any one who secs

ia the city who when mounted on stills
run as fast as horse, taking strides of ten
feet. To see one OF them skipping along the
ground Is a most aston ishlng sight. Some
strap the stills to their legs and are obliged to
climb tree in order To get start. If they
fall, their necks are very apt to be broken,

EVENT and COMM ENT

Judge s. 3. Baxter, Ex-Attorney
General of Virginia, died the 9TH inst.
OF the residence Of his son-in-law, Mr..
A. A. SPOTS, in Abb's Valley, Tazewell
county. For number of years since
the war he resided at Marion and prac-
ticed law at Abingdon, and Wytheville,
bis great obesity rendering it impracti-
cable for him to attend the courts off the
railroad. For many years he was among
the most active aud able lawyers in the
Commonwealth, and even down to his
18th year, in which he died, he retained
TO great degree the vigor Of his intel
tcllect.
A public meeting was held last Tues
day at Tazewell e.. II. to inaugurate
measures for the organization of the
Democratic party in Virginia, Col. II.
S. Bowen presided and speeches were
made by Col. May, Maj. Henry, and
Judge Graham, favoring the movement,
and by Mr.. Sterling +. Watts in opposi-
ton to it. BY unanimous vote of the
meeting mass meeting was called for
next county court day, and the matter
referred thereto.
6G7 pounds net, is rather remarkable

Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., Dec 10 1879
1t is hardly fair yet to say that the
proposed attempt to cut down govern
ment expenses has been abandoned by
the Democrats including those on the
House Appropriation Committee, who
had determined to attempt such rcduc-
ton, but the very earnest desires for
early adjournment will probably prev ent
their realizing all they desired.
The Pension Appropriation bill, re-
ported to the House on Thursday, We're
yesterday passed without opposition
The former owing to tie arrears of Pen
sion bill last winter, IL some two or three
millions more than last year. The mill
tary academy bill will be reported before
the holiday adjournment, and pass the
House. Efforts will be made to get
prompt action in the Senate on these
three bills. Other appropriation billr
will be ready whenever the House, after
the holidays, is ready for them.
1t becomes more aud more plain every
day that GrcenbaCk Legislation is not 4,
be expected at this session. senator
Bayard's calculation Is that his rcsOlu-
lion to 'denationali2c' grecnhacks woul
have majority Of votes IN the Scuatc
not borne out by cvent8. AZ It's mcetinr
yesterday the Senate Finance Committee
postponed until after recess considrr-
ton Of this resolution and Of all Other
financial measures before It, inclu ling
the Warner Silver Bill, and the bill at
thorizing exchange Of standard silver
dollars for trade dollars.
The Senate Democrats exhibit sIc
generosity in allowing the Radical MI
nority larger number Of employee
than was conceded by n Radical maloi-
ty to them ut any time.
An evidence Of the interest felt IN the
Mississippi River improvement IL fould
In the nunbcrlcss communications re-
ceivcd by the House Committee on That
subject. There arc no less than dozen
parties surveying the river from Cairo to
the gulf. The committee win ask con-
sent to make personal inspection Of the
river and will no doubt be authorized to
do so.
1t Is noticed rs proof Of the "reform
In the civil service" that ex-senator
Ramsey OF Minnesota just appointed to
the War department by Mr.. Hayes had
no connection whatever with The fraud
by which Louisiana was stolen from Mr.
ridden. He was not even an attorney
In the case.
The ease OF Senator Ingalls, was to be
further heard by the Senate Committee
on elections today but hearing was post
poned. The committee will probably
not report In this ease, or IN the Kellogg
Spoilard case until quite late In the ses-
sion. Don.

Senator Malone.

Ii may be assumed that Gen. MALONE
will to day be elected on the first ballot
M U. s. Senator, to succeed Col. WITH
FRS, whose term will expire in March
1881. lie was unanimously nominated
by the Rcadiusters caucus last Friday
evening, and that means al easy cleo
ton, as all efforts to dislodgc the Repub-
lican Readjusters from the position TAX
en- by them before the people in the late
canvass have signally failed.
In 1927, 81 years ago, GIN. MALONE
was born in Southamton, Va. At II
he entered the Military Institute, where
he graduated ut 20. After brief inter
val as n school teacher ut Port Royal, he
served awhile in the Engineer depart
ment of the o. & A. II. r., and was
nfterward rendered the position Of chief
engineer of the Norfolk & Petersburg
r. X. This position he accepted on the
absolute condition that he he allowed
his own way IN the location Of the line.
With the exception of an unavoidable
curve at Suffolk, he struck "bee line"
between the two cities, and built the
strongest and finest road on the CONT
nent, aiterward becoming ita President,
In the war he raised and commanded
the 9th Va. Regiment, becoming In
March 1864, Brig, General, and In Au-
gust following Maj. General, being sub
sequently given command of one of
I.gR's Divisions. When the enemy
broke our line by mining and blowing
II up, he captured the bloody "2rater"
and rc-establlshcd the line. How he
originated the only way by which the
line of roads from Tennessee to the At
lantic was kept from foreign capture,
and how by his genius he rcnfused into
it's consolidated fractions, life, beauty,
and power, our readers very we'll know,
How Il was wrenched from his hands by
,hc financial curocldony of 1873, that
broke nearly every road In the Southern
States Is equally well known.
In 1869 he formed coalition with the
best Republicans In the state, ana
wrcnchcd the Commonwealth from tho
clutches Of Wells and the Radical Vul-
ture, who had their bloody bcoks In her
liver IL known. How In 1870 just q
dccknde later much of this same Rcpub-
lican force came to the assistance of his
friends and removed from him the
shacklcs placed upon him by nm I'M
grateful party to whom he had given
life and power, II visible ut just this par
tlcular time.
Blown up again by the mtcd 10 he re-
nppcurs In his boots aud cooked hat IN
,he smoke of the bloodicst political era
ter Of the period, and Is the one supreme
hero of tho field. Predictions of his sub
.,dcnee IN the senate will fall as all Other
forecos,s of his future thus far have
failed. lie will undoubtedly make
Senator ON whom Virginia viii Fix rec
onciled and pleased gaze, for being u

ilIferous prcjudlccs, there Ia no telling
what new lines Of thought aud political
notion may not yet owe their birth ant

There was no Capitol office appor ion
