The Situation in Virginia


WASHINGTON, Oct. 3f.-Colonel Cam.
eron, the liberal candidate for governor
of Virginia, who is now in Washington
expresses the fullest confidence in the
success of the liberal ticket of that state
Since July Colonel Cameron has been
actively engaged in the canvass, and has
addressed meetings in every Legislative
district. Wherever he went the liberal
candidate met with an enthusiastic re
ception. The large attendance at tho
meetings shows the people were fully
aroused to the importance of the pend.
ing struggle, and sympathy is largely
with the liberal movement. Colonel
Cameron SAID tonight wherever he went
he saw unmistakable evidence of the
progress of the liberal cause among
white people. In every county many Of
leading white men, who heretofore have
acted with the Bourbons, have declared
for the liberal ticket, and some of them
are taking an active part i'll the cam
paign; and last year some counties
while mostly aTrayed on the Bourbon
side, and the only votes cast against
the Democratic ticket were cast by col
ored men. Great changes have taken
place in these counties. The great en-
couraging feature of the campaign this
time is the division that exists among
the whites. Colonel Cameron, General
Malone, Colonel Bandy and other lib
eral leaders, who closely watched the
campaign, believe the liberals will poll
at least 10000 white votes, of which
nearly one half twill aggregate the white
vote that will be cast November s, in.
Guiding the white Republicans. The
estimated colored vote will reach about
Go 600, of which no more than 5 per
cent. will be induced to vote the Bour.
bon ticket. The aggregate vote pOlled
for the Garfield and Hancock election
was 81 200. 1t is believed that the vote
next week will be rs large as that of last
year, and on this basis the liberal leaders
are confident the reform ticket will re.
ceive from 10000 to 10000, which
would give that ticket a majority rang.
ing from 10000 to $4,000 votes. The ex-
tent of their majority is regarded by
the liberals as question of ability to
qualify the voters by the payment of a
poll tax, 81 per capita. The cOlored
men are united and enthusiastic for the
Cameron ticket, and large numbers are
paying one poll ticket, an evidence OF
the earncstness of their feelings. Great
interest is taken in the contest.

What English Capitalists Want with
ConEederafe R0nda

WASHINGTON, Nov. There have
been several applications at the treasury
department recently by persons To make
contracts to collect for the government
a balance remaining in the bank OF
England TO the credit of the defunct
confederate states. One man of this
city named Agar, had contract of this
kind made with Secretary Sherman.
This contract expired last September
and Agar failed TO get the money. 1t
Is said this money was deposited
in some peculiar manner and controlled
by five trustees who now collect the in.
terest annually, and that JEFF Davis and
Judah p. Benjamin were two of these
trustees. II is with the hope of getting
this money that English capitalists are
buying confederate bonds and that
Benjamin, has been retained by these
capitalists as their buyer, as he thinks
he can recover the money in payment of
confederate bonds. Solicitor Raynor, of
the treasury, intends to call the British
governments attention to the money
with a view of recovering it for the
United States.

Railroad Earnings,

In respect to the railroad earnings for
May, the financial Chronicle remarks:
They show that the growth in traffic
which began with an increase of 3 per
cent. IN May, 1879, and went up to "a per
cent. over 1879 in May, 1880, has now fur
ther advanced in May, 1881, to IT per cent.
over the corresponding month q year ago
1t should be remembered however, that
this years statement is on IA per cent larg-
er mileage. But even with that qualifca-
ton the result reached is remarkable This
only illustrates what we have so often said
that the revival of our internal commerce.
which began IN 1879, has by no means cul-
minated but is still in progress.of develop
ment. In fact, critical examination of all
our industries show great healthfulness
everywhere, but no considerable expansion
