in the punishment of the races for
similar offenses committed by either.
Also contends that the action of
the United States District Court for
the Western District of Virginia, in
the case of the Reynolds Brothers,
is a matter fer the consideration of
the Attorney General of the State,
and with which the Legislature has
no concern, and that the Legisla-
ture should in common fairness to
class of citizens now previously
oppressed by the present admins
tration of laws respecting juries,
and enact measures for their relief.
Carter spoke at length in favor of
his substitute. The matter went
over without action.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 81
In the Potter Committee to-day a
subcommittee of FIVE was appointed
to take testimony in New York.
The subcommittee leaves Washing-
ton Sunday evening and will com
mence Investigation Monday after
noon. Marble, Pelton, Weed and
Tilden will be among the first wit
nesses examined. A resolution ask
ing for Anderson to be recalled still
lies on the table, and is likely to do
so. At a meeting this afternoon
Stenger, Cox and Blackburn, mem
bers of the Committee, gave eyi~
dence denying altogether the state-
ment of st. Martin with reference
to the corruption of witnesses who
came before the committee at New

pear when called. Thirty prison

RICHMOND, Jan. 31.-In the
House to-day the report on the al

by Federal Judge Rives came up.
Peter j. Carter, colored member
for northampton county, submitted
a substitute for the report, setting
forth that under the 18th Amend

Practical Wisdom.

An ancient adage says, "In time Of
peace prepare for war" Is il not
equally wise TO prepare for sickness in
time of health? When anticipating
journey, guide books and maps are
studiousiy examined, and all possible
Information of the route and country
obtained. Yet many make the "jour.
ney of life" and throughout the entire
trip remain almost strangers to them
selves, in profound ignorance of their
abilities, and have no knowledge of
the physiological laws that govern
mind aud matter. To suc1, life is like
boy handling an engine, he may
have asceTtained how to start aud stop
IL, but he knows not how to keep it in
running order. The Peoples Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser, an illDs-
trated work of over 900 pages, is des-
signed by it's author, as a popular
handbook of anatomy, physiology,
hygiene, medicine and the most COM
mon diseases to which all are liable,

Tiuatee- >wuu's cffice was thrOnged
mos, sil day yesterday with tax
payers, al.d The county, State and cor>
pOra ion revenue was smaTtly aug
merted. Owing tn he prevailing an
cer:aints AID misunderstanding as TO
what has been done by the Legisla-
ture regarding The postponemeBt OF the
q ate OF enforced collections, there were
great macy payments made which
would not have been had the post
ponement been settled fact.
For the information Of our readers
we wuuld say, that according to the
report in tie Banner, Of Wednesdays
proceedings Of the Legislature, under
the head Of senate bills on third read
ing, the folio owing was passed:
To amend the revenue laws so as to
postpone the pay ymeDt OF taxes due
February l. until September l, 1879.
The bill was 50 amended by the
House as TO exempt cities having a
popuIatlon of not less than 10000 nor
more than &c, 600. Concnrred IN.
This exemption was made for the
benz of Nashville and Memphis,
only, to give their collectors authority
to go on with their enforcement of
collections.
This is the latest information we
have had on the subject. Whether
the matter received the Governors
signature and was made law, to go
iato effect at once,is not known. 1t is
generally considered that such is the
case. but it seems if such action had
been taken the Trustee, at least, would
have had information of it. He re-
ceived no such information. and. like
the rest of Us, is at loss TO know
what TO DO in the premises.

THE EAST.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-A Liverpool
dispatch says with reference to the
arrivals of cattle from America, that
it is announced that the Priyy
Council Department have the subs
iect under consideration, and will
issue orders hereafter. 1t is proba-
Bile that for the present there will
be no general regulation laid
down, but that the arrival
of each consignment will be
closely watched and each
case dealt with on its own merits.
Those engaged in the trade con-
tend that an unnecessary amount
has been created out Of the
Ontario's case, and even dispute the
statement that the animals con-
demned have suffered from pleuro
pneumonia. For the protection Of
their own interests they have re-
tanned the services Of veterinary
surgeons of high repute to act as
check upon the Privy Council in
spectors.
A Vienna dispatch says: cit is
stated that Prof. Botkin, physician
to the Gar, advises the burning of
Wetlian and other villages where
the epidemic has broken out, with
all the furniture in them, and the
removal of the inhabitants to
healthy places. In spite of the
heavy expenses such a scheme
would involve, the Gar said he was
disposed to follow Prof. Botkin's S
advice"
