Cameron, who to-day sent in to the two
houses his first message. His cXccllen-
cy is suffering greatly nom vaccination,
and Is in no condition for hand shaking.
Gov. Cameron graccs, in Il manner very
pleasing Ia his friends, the executive
room. The Governors mansion has
been inspected and found ina mournful
condition Of dilapidation and neglect
For eight years it has been n sort of rat
hole, neither woman or child grazing its
spacious and once elegant halls. Many
Of the rooms are mouldy and damp, not
having ha,ln fire IN them formany Years.
Even during Gov. Walkers term there
were no children in il. 1t seems that
the line of Finder Governors, now sup
posed to be ended, has forscveral years
thrown about the Cxecutivc mansion the
shadow Of coming extinction. As soon
as the Legislature can remodel, rcfit,
and rfuruish the old Brown House in
becoming style, tile new Royal line Of
liberalism will be installed in manner
COMFORTING with the dignity Of the COM
mOnwcalth, Once more It's doors will
be open to those inequalities which
have long made the name of Virginia
an lonored and an enyied one in the
world.
The bills TO give tho knife to the cou-
pom and TO settle the public debt Will
soon be before the people. The calcutta
tions have all been revised, under the
light of new and improved sources Of
information, and learn the true amount
Of the debt is $2l ,03j,377. or course
two years more of interest is Included in
this sum. The Fundrr Bulls are striv-
ing hard to keep up the prices Of consols
and .4O's, Int they had just as well
come down TO the true value Of PCClcrs.
Come thtyanust and come they WILL
OF the $500, 600 lo be received from the
wreck of the 4. NJ. Il O. II. r., and
which sim was saved to theSStatc by the
faithful attention Of Senator Malone,
will all 90 to the Free School Fund
$500, 600 Oft to the common schools, and
100000 to the building of Normal
School for the preparation of colored
teachers. 1t seems that Judge Mon
cure. President Of the Court of Appeals
WILDE retired on full pay for life, and
also Judge Anderson. This will leave
two vacancies on the Supreme Bench
1t also appears likely that the Board of
all.thc public institutions, asylums and
colleges, will be unpocLcd and new
deal made in which public opinion will
not be dctled.
The Legislature will soon pass 4 bin
asking our Senators and Congressman to
vote for The. Blair School Bill in Con-
grcss. ltappfopriocs n large amount
of money from the L, S. Government
for purposes of free education in the
various States in proportion to the ilit-
cracy, but the States must supplement it
by liberal appropriation. Mr.. koncr,
of the Senate, and Mr.. Glasgow also Of
the Senate distinguished themselves by
Offering the only opposition to the bill.
They are both Fundcrs, and Mr.. koincr
Is the Chairman of the Fundcr State
committee. The Rcadiustcrs will all
Vote for the bill,
The bill to change the power of the
police force of Norfolk to board to he
appointed by the Hastings Judge drew
the combined fire. Of the Fundcrs, but
these virtuous politicians were confront
eel with the fact that they were the ar,-
thors Of such remedy, and had really
tried II on in the cities of Portsmouth
and Petersburg. The bin was prompt

Tie two holScs to-day made more
than usual progress Tor Saturday, on
which day Of the week many members
cvincc a degree of decentralization that
sadly consorts with business. Both Of
them passed resolution to appoint a
Joint committee to confer with the city
authorities for the purpose of clicilng
the exact facts rs to the prevalence Of
Small poX in The city. Roth the House
and Senate have closed the galleries
against the promisruous and idle classes
that daily throng them, thinking no bet
ter pan to spread small poX could be
devised than to draw every day to the
capital these CLASSES IN h"ated assem-.

have no fear of Small l'uN, rs yaCGlua-

prevention If taken In time. The city
authorities have ordered certain physi-
