rival of the Emperor last night,
whilst the second train containing
the baggage was on the way hither,
an explosion occurred. One lug
gage van was blown to pieces and
seven carriages were thrown off the

Kremlin to congratulate His
Majesty upon his visit to Moscow
previous to the Emperor's arrival
in the hall of the audience.
Dec. 3.-The explosives which de-
stroyed the Emperial baggage train
are stated to have been placed on
Monday evening under the rails at a

RICHMOND, Dec. 3.-The Read
justers met in caucus at s o'clock,
and were still in session at midnight.
They claim to have 80
members of the General AS
sembly, which would give them a
majority of 20 on joint ballot.
Nearly two-thirds of the Repub>
lican members took part in the
caucus.
The participants were bound to-
secrecy, hence it is impossible to
give any idea of the proceedings,
except that long series of resolu~
tions, embodying plan for future
action was adapted. These resolu-
tions are said to be extremely
liberal in political sense.
The caucus also made a full list of
the nominations for the offices of
both houses, with Judge B. w.
Lacy, Of New Kent, as Speaker of
the House: o. 2. McCaull, Of Pu-
laski, as Clerk; G. W. Cook, (col.J

The Debt Payers also held a
caucus, but made no nominations
nor took any decided action.
The General Assembly met at
noon to,day in the first biennial
session under the recent amend
ment to the Constitution. All the
Senators were present, and all the
Delegates. Two organizations were
effected by the election of the Res
adjusters candidates in both
Houses, by maiorities ranging from
eight to thirteen In the Senate,
and from fifteen to eighteen in the
House, showing that the Readjust,
ers have majority on joint ballot
Of about thirty-seven.
Governor Holidays message was
then read. II is almost entirely
devoted to the n discussion of the
State debt. 1t approves the set
tlement made last session, the terms
of which were embodied in the mea,
sure known as the McCulochs bill, and
states that Notwithstanding the re-.
cent agitation in favor of the recall
of that law, which has to some ex-,
tent interfered with its operation,
nearly So, 100000 ofythe old bonds
have already been exchanged for
new ones. With regard to the
merits of the McCulloch bill, the
Governor says it was regarded by
the outside world as a fair and rea>
sonable, settlement, one which in no
way impugned the, honor Of the
State. Thisfhe says, was . matter
of vital Importance in any
settlement that might be
made. " Why, then,' he asks
"should it not be accepted sby the
people of the State as in@every way
a desirable conclusion of the ques-
tion whose agitation has cost the
State more that the whole sum in.
volved ? My views are very clear
and decided, that the money repre-
sented by the interest, or even by the
principal of the debt, large as it is,
is of little Importance in compari>
son with the States credit, and that
nothing save inability can justify
or excuse non-payment.
After the reading OF the message
in the Senate, a resolution was
adopted, under suspension of the
rules, fixing Friday, 18th inst, for
