10, with tonnage Of 2,059,610 kokus. In 1873 the
number OF steamers had increased to 1s8, with ton
mage OF So 120 and Of sailing vessels to 49, with
tonnage Of 3O734, $40 kokus OF these, 81 sailing ves
sells and 50 steamers Of native build In addition
to the above list Of sailing vessels and steamers there
were IL 416 junks with tonnage exceeding 80 kokus
each, besides a large number Of smaller junks. The
small size Of the farms prevents the introduction CT

railroad has been extended from Hiozo to Osaka, from

THE STRUGGLE IN VIRGINIA.
IBY rELEaRAPH 10 THE rRIs0sB.l

WINCHESTER, Va, May 18.-The confidence,
amounting almost to a certainty, with which the
Democracy has counted upon the electoral vote OF
the Solid South for the nominees of the Cincinnati
Convention has lately been greatly impaired BY
the continuance of the bitter strife between the
two factions of the Democratic party In Virginia
In no part of the State has this quarrel been more
disastrous to the Democracy than In the Shenan.
doah Valley, where it was least to be expected
In the election last Fall the Readjusters and Re-
publicans made very serious inroads upon the reg
ular Democratic vote In this stronghold, ana even
tho hitherto iDvincible "tenth legion" Of Virginia
Democracy emerged from the contest completely
demoral,zed by divisions in its own ranks. 1t re-
ouires almost superhuman efforts and the votes OF
many Republicans to save this County Of Frederick.
Since last Fall matters appear to have been growing
worse rather than better. Alarm has
taken the place of the disgust and .
seized them at The prospect Of losing the
state next November. The recent meeting here
was called, and number of speakers from abroad
were invited to deliver addresses before IL, for the
purpose of arriving at some agreements as to wha4
should be done Two things were especially notice
able in all the speeches which were made on thst
occasion. In the first place, there was
not one word said against the purity OK
the present National administration. OF course
there was plenty of talk about "centraif-
zation," and all that, but nothing whatever
about Republican corruption. official or personal,
during the past three years. Another and quite -
s,enificant feature was the amount OF time de-
voted BY every speaker to attacks upon third term
Il was noticeable. too. that every expression on
this subject was received with tumultuous ap-
plause. and yet General Grant is SAID 10 be very
popular in Virginia. Among Republicans he prob
ably but here In Winchester he certainly 10 NOT
among the Democrats.
What the course Of political events In Virginia
during the next few months viii be no
one can foretell Prominent leaders Of the debt
paying wing Of the Democratic party begin
to express confidence that the Readiusters
will vote In body for the nominees OF the Cncin-
natl Convention. Readjuster leaders who are quite
as prominent, declare that under no circamstanceo
will this be done The debt payers say that the rank
and file of the Democracy Will not FOLLOW 0enernk
Malone next Fall, and thus bring dsaster upon ~.
Democratic party at large. There u reason "a S1t9
declaration, and 1t may turn out 10 % uue. xee't
facb cannot be avoided, however, that No.

Htical question in Virginia at this time. The
