= With the opening of the 8. ". r. R.
to Waynesboro, the celebrated Luray Caves,
on the line of that road, and one of its most
important features, will be Immediately
reached and be thrown open to tho inspee>
tion of the world. They will be a great
feature in the attractions presented to tour
lists next year, and will produce no little
commotion in cur valley. The intimation
that these caves have become the property
of the Railroad Company is not strictly cor
rect, although We believe that they have. or
are about to pass into the hands of private
capitalists, interested in the 8. v. r. R., who
will make them a point of attraction to the
curious and scientific, and bring them into a
state of development with electric lights and
necessary accommodations worthy Of their
great nataral reputation. As we understand
it, the arrangements contemplated with re-
spect to the L4uray Caves are somewhat
similar to those made with respect to Pen>
Mar-the great Mountain resort on the sum
NIT of the Blue Ridge, and on the line of
the Western Maryland Railroad, which was
visited by thousands upon thousands during
the late season, and which. il is now pro.
posed to improve by theefurther erection of
a spacious hotel. This will be done by q
eomPanyof Baltimore capitalists, Interested

r9mor in connection with the S. v. r. R. is
that negotiations have been initiated and are

is altogether TO be expected. Indeed. the
activity with which the work of extension of

that an arrangement by which the S ". and

The talk that was current at Washington
last winter about Senator Eenry G.. Davis
intention TO resign his position in the Uni>
ted States Senate is again sasat in the news
papers. a Washington special in the Gins
cinnati Enquirer of Saturday makes the
following refereace to it:
The friends of Senator Davis, of West
Virginia, say that he has been meditating
for some time past resignins his seat in the
Senate, where he has become % familiar
character. He has become the president of
q railroad leading up the north branch of
the Potomac river and then continuing
southwestward tot point near the White
Sulphur Springs on the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad. On this course Senator Davis has
10000 acres of magnificent woodland ilnme.
diately available for timber when the road
shall be opened and it is all underlaid with
superb beds of coal. AT his time of life
the development of his regien and the com
pletion of the railroad will give him plenty
to do. His first cousin, Arthur G orman has,
meantime, been elected to the Senate from
Maryland. Senator Davis is the son of a
gentleman once quite rich, who failed when
the Senator was a boy, and he had to go to
work at whatouer came along. He has been
eSpSSeAS tutibeto puDilC mdu
between the West and the East, and has
played an important part in the construction
of tho Baltimore and Ohio railroad. [ was
asking one of his friends a day or two ago
how he came to question the integrity of the
figures presented by the goyernaept as to
its Indebtedness
THAT naturally arose." was the reply,
"from a s%traight.out business man finding
that three off eers Of the govern nent were
putting down different figures for the pablie
debt. The Register of the Treasury CALI
son) had a different bookkeeping from the
Secretary aud Treasurer, aad it was natural
that when a Ran took up these three re,
ports and found no two of them agreeable,
he considered that there might be something
wrong in the figures themselves."@
In commenting en- the above, the Cum.
-berland Daily Ners says:
TN regard to Senator Davis resignation,
we have lately heard that he at one time Sc
riously contemplated taking such a step, bat
has since concluded to serve out his term"
