By stipulation between the opposing
factions in the House, the railroad bond
bills were yesterday made the special or
der in committee of the whole for Mon
day morning at 10 O'Clock, to be discuss
ed at length, and after the committee
shall rise an immediate vote shall be taken
on their passage if the committee shall
recommend it for passage. There is no
agreement as to the duration of the de-
bate, and if the lungs of the members
hold out it may be prolonged for two or
three days. Judge Wilson's health will
not permit of protracted effort, but
there are about score of,,other members
who are in good talking condition. 1t is
to be hoped, however, for the sake of
suffering humanity in this part of the
world, that the debate will not be unduly
prolonged. The people have heard all
the arguments that can be advanced On
both sides of the question, and the minds
of all the members are already made up
on the question. All the oratory in the
world will not alter single vote, and if
a final vote on the passage of the bills
should be taken this morning without a
word of debate, it would result precisely
as it will after it has been fully debated

SoRRowFULLY and reluctantly the
members Of the legislature have come to
the conclusion that they will be unable
to pass any Congressional apportionment
bill at the present session. The indica-
tions from Washington are that action
will not be taken previous to the expira-
ton of the present Congress on the pend
ing bill, and our legislature will there
fore be left without basis to work upon.
Hold Strait and Jim Baker, who have
been industriously fixing up districts for
themselves during the past week, will
have to quit the capital without the
prizes they have so diligently sought. Be-
fore an extra session shall be called,
events may occur that will wholly upset
all existing arrangements, and both may
find themselves left out in the cold.

The result CT the elections of Tuesday proves
more favorable for the republicans as the fuller
returns come In. In New York, though losing The
legislature, they have elected leading state OFF,
GERS and have achieved more OF a success
than might have been expected considering the
diSadva Et,.CeS under which they laDofe0
through bitter internal divisions OF the
thirteen states which voted Tuesday only Mary
land and Mississippi went democrats, and in both
thSse states the party is considerably torn up AM
confronted by growing opposition. The Oppo>E
tim In Mississippi is how organized, and it carried
a suf.il tent number OF the counties Tuesday to
courage still further Efforts In the present aspect
o politi al afrs, however, the loss OF Virginia Is
tae seveFeSt blow to the democracy. The Old Do
mniOn has been the cornerstone of thesol;d south
heretofore She was the first of the states which
cratic fold Her white voters practically unitedin
party appell5tion having been adopted out of con-
sileritiOn to the old wings who still disiaed the
title OF democrat Now Virginia has declared
against the democracy; has voted TO cut looo"
from that party. 1t will not do for the democrat
to say that this result was achieved by the coored
vote While IL is true that but for the cOlOred vote
the readjusters could not have succeeded, neither
could they have won without large proportion OF
the white vote Many OF the counties which are
denOminated 'whte' in the political parlance of
the state because they do not contain any colored
voters, have given majoritieS for the readuSter
ticket. Had all the ''white" counties gone demo
cratic the readjlsters would have been defeated.
This new departure OF Virginia looks very much
like break In the solid south.

The Virginia readjuSterS will have the power,
this winter to enforce their financial policy, with
cut let or hindrance. They stand pledged to set
tlement OF the state debt upon the terms of the
Riddleberger BILL which cuts the principal down
from S3 zoo to s20OOOC00. This will be the first
business OF the legislature, which meets In Deem
Der. Governor Cameron will, OF course approve the
measure, and, as the creditors will resist it, the
matter viii then go to the supreme court, or court
OF appeals, as 1t l. termed There can be no doubt
OF the eci5on OF this court in favor OF the cOnSti
tutionality OF the Riddleberger BILL because the re-
adJustsr legislature will have the composition of
the court In its own hands. With single excep-
ton the terms OF the Judges OF the present
court OF appeals expire next year, and the
duty Of electng their viii devolve upon
the legislature The readjusterS make no secret
OF their intention to elect judges pledged to the
Ridleberger bill. The states creditors will in the
natural order of things, appeal to the United
States Supreme Court.
The legislature will have to choose a
successor to Senator Johnston, whose term
expires March 81, 1883. There are several as
pdrants for this honor, and it may prove the rock
that Will split the coalition. The talk has been
that Malone agreed to make Lewis Semi
Tor, In return for the of his name On the suite
ticket, and that Lewis accepted upon this con-
dftion- There is report since the election, how
ever, that Lewis Is to be provided with place on
the Court of Appeals bench. He is not popular In
the southwestern part of the state, because as U.
s. marshal he has been compelled to interfere with
dtSttiling operations in that section. 1t is said
that the readjusters leaders OF the southwest pro-
tested against the plan OF making Lewis
Senator and that Malone Modified them by
promising that it should not be done. Com
eron Is credited with senatorial aspirations,
and Riddfeberger wants a seat In that
body. Auditor Massey, who failed to get the
gubernatOrtal nomination, it Is said cons0ed him.
self with the prospect OF becoming United Stltes
Senator. Cameron and Riddleberger are both
deservedly popular with the readjuster element,
and their friends in the legislature will probabl
stand by them.

Curiosiiies Of Nature.

Among the papers published in
costly style by the Smithsonian In.
stitute at Washington, is one on the
microscopic plants. and animals
which live on land in--the human
body. 1t describes quite a number
of insects. The animal which pro-
duces the disease called itch, is illus
trated by an engraving half an inch
in diameter, which shows not only
the ugly little fellows body and legs,
but his very toes, although the ami
NAL himself is entirely invisible to
the naked eye. When Lieutenant
Bergman was sounding the ocean,
preparatory to laying the Atlantic
telegraph, the quill at the end of the
sounding line brought up mud,
which on being dried, became a pow
der so fine that on rubbing it be-
tween the thumb and finger, it dis
appeared in the crevices of the skin.
On placing this dust under the mi
croscope, it was discovered to consist
of millions of perfect shells, each of
which had a living animal.
