SERIES OF GOOD THINGS, EMBRACING A
WEEK s TRIP WITHOUT PARALLEL IN
SUMMER EXCURSIONS.

A SERIES OF GOOD THINGS, EMBRACING A
WEEK s TRIP WITHOUT PARALLEL IN
SUMMER EXCURSIONS.
The interest in the grand series of ex-
curSiOnS over the b. & o. to Baltimore,
Washington, Harper's Ferry, Luray Cav,
erns. Old Point Comfort, Fortress Mon
roe, Mount Vernon, &C., increases as the
time draws near. Certainly no such at
tractive a programme has been offered by
any great railway line for years. There is
almost no end to the enjoyment provided.
OF course Baltimore will be the base of
operations, all the special trips named be-
ing from the Oriole city. The b. & o. s
tickets will be good to Baltimore, and sold
at the half rate, that is to say, one regular
fare for the round trip. Once in Balti-
more, the excursionist may enjoy himself
at will. If he concludes to go on all the
special excursions he does so and pays ac-
cordingly. If only part of them. then he
pays for those and no more. Ii none Of
them, then he pays for none. This GER
tainly is the only fair basis upon which
such series of excursions could be ar
ranged, and must meet the Endorsement of
all interested. Washington is but forty
miles from Baltimore, the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad running trains between the
two cities in the lightning time of fifty
minutes. The fare for the round trip will
be only dollar and twenty cents. Balti-
more is already getting into her holiday
attire; stands are going up everywhere,
and as for Examinations and the general
lighting Of the streets, nothing like it was
ever before attempted on the Continent.
The idea of making the affair Summer
Nights Carnival was capital one, as not
only are effects gained at night of a most
novel character, but time is given during
the day for excursionists to visit points of
interest within and about the city. The
scene in the harbor on the night of the ar
rival of Lord Baltimore will be something
to remember for years, while the mystic
pageant on the last night Of the Carnival
will be as vision-a bright and wonderful
dream. CThe Mystic Order of the Oriole
will mstFa programme on the opening day
OF the festival, which for artistic beauty,
well written descriptive matter and graphic
portrayal of the pageant will be wholly
without precedent. It has been ltho-
graphed in five cOlors, and is beauty
from any standpoint it may be considered.
AS it will be the only publication contain
ing the official programme details of each
day and views of the tableau cars, it will
be well for excursionists to make it
point to secure copy Immediately upon
arriving in the city. The b. q o. is max
ing the most extensive preparations for
the transporting and perfect satisfaction
OF the many who will go by the Picturesque
Line of America

Virginia Counnns :,

Judge Bond, in Richmond, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
in the coupon cases on Tuesday. After decis
ion was rendered by the United State Supreme
Court last spring in the Virginia debt case, coun.
sci for foreign bondholders in London. through
their attorneys. William A. Royal, Of New York
of the United States to test the conclusions
which Mr.. Royal insisted that decision led to.
Judge Bond decided these cases. He holds
first, that tender of coupons for taxes is lega
tender that all consequences which flow from
any other legal tender flow from this, and that
this is the effect of the Supreme Court de-
cision; second, that officers of the State
will be enjoined from levying on q taxpay-
ers property after q tender of coupons has
been made; third, that as the Questions
in these suits depend upon the constitu-
tonality OF the State legislation, the suits arise
under the constitution, and that circuit courts
of the United States have Jurisdiction of them
without regard to the citizenship of the parties.
Judge Bonds Jurisdiction extends over the EN-
tire State. If his decision is not reversed II
would seem that the State can collect no more
revenue until she provides for the coupons

The invitation Of few of the Bourbon

ton, Sam'l F. Coleman, Holmes Conrad
and several others, These gentlemen are
all familiar to the public in connection
with Bourbon politics. They represent
the old moss-baok element of Virginia,
not the young and active energies of the
Commonwealth. 1t is the same old az
rangement galvanized under Mr.. Bar
bour's leadership. Even Mr.. Barbour
himself belongs to the "reminiscences of
Virginia and cannot sympathize much
with the ''young men, "who several of our
contemporaries would have lead the on
slaugh against the Liberal forces. The
young men, indeed, are fast arraying
themselves against the moss backs, and
when they come to the front it will not
be to lead Bourbonism.

The State publishes an extract from the
history of the Kansas struggle in 1856,
as written by DIR. Gihon, private secre-
tary OF Gov. Geary, of that Territory. In it
l.. A. Maclean is named as worthless char
acter and A. w. Jones, now running for
the Senate in this State from the Hanover
district, is classed with him. We hap
pened to know Maclean. He was Scotch
man by birth, well educated, talented, dar-
ing to recklessness, but every inch gen
tleman. He married Miss Smith, of La
fayette county, an accomplished lady, and
of one of the best families in Missouri. In
those turbulent times in bleeding Kansas,
there was little to restrain the ardor of
youth, and on both sides men did things
they would not under ordinary circum-
stances have done. We guess if Maclean
had written a book, he might not have
painted Dr.. Gihon in any more rosy col
or than the DIR. embellished Maclean with,
and if Col. A. w. Jones has no greater sins
to answer for than being compared with
Maclean, his friends need feel no uneasi-
ness about the matter.

For the first time in years there is a
prospect of Albemarle going anti- Bourbon.
Not long ago the anti-Bourbon vote was
so cut up into factions that it amounted
to little as an opposition force. Two
weeks since there were no less than five
so-called parties in the county. One styled
itself Readjuster, one Coalitionist, one
Republican, one straight-out Republican
and one Democratic. On Monday last.
however, 4 thorough reorganization was
effected and ticket nominated which will
re-unite all of the elements IN opposition
to Bourbonism. There are yet two dis
tnct wings composing this opposition, but
they will work together in the next cam
paign, polling solid vote. One of these
parties is the Republican of which Capt.
"A. M. Lawson is chairman. This party
held meeting in the Town Hall at Char
lottesville, Monday, and nominated Capt.
Lawson for the Legislature. The other
party, Coalitionists, has for it's chairman
Mr.. II. II. Fife. This party met in the
Court House the same day and nominated
j. Howard Smith, who formerly repre-
scented Albemarle in the legislature. AS
Albemarle is entitled to two delegates,
Capt. Lawson and Mr.. Smith will be voted
for solidly by the parties represented by
both, and it is believed will win the race.
The joint ticket is recognized as strong
one, and as each candidate will poll his
full strength, the chances for success are
encouraging,

CAPITAL FOR VIRGINIA.-A special from
Philadelphia to the Petersburg appeal,
Aug. 80, says: An officer of the Norfolk
and Western Railroad company stated to-
day that capitalists from the north had in
vested several million dollars in Wythe,
Pulaski and other counties of southwestern
Virginia, where minerals of the most val
liable kind abound in vast quantities. The
bulk of these investments is in Pulaski.
Smythe, Wythe, Grayson and Washington
counties, and is in iron ore lands. The
company has in contemplation and will
build at an early day branch line from
its own road into these counties to afford
an outlet for the minerals there. and the
product OF the numerous furnaces in that
section. The furnaces at Roanoke which
were started up under the auspices of the
Norfolk and Western railroad company,
by reason of the fact that the raw materi-
ais are dug from such near points, are pro-
ducing iron at ten dollars per ton, against
cost OF production in this state of eigh-
teen dollars per ton.
Richmond, and all it's greatness, seem to
be severely snubbed by MI. Barbour,
Chairman of the Democratic Central
Committee. Headquarters have been
removed to Alexandria. A campaign pa
per has been established in Lynchburg,
thus giving the cold shoulder to the Metro
politan organs, and in all things connected
with the active work of the campaign the
Richmond headlights seem to be ignored.
The disasters which have heretofore at
tended the Bourbon party may be justly
charged to the laundering emanating from
the Executive Committee, whose centre
was ut Richmond. The Executive Com
mittee has been dispensed with and now
all the movements of the party are di-
rected from the sleepy old town on the
Potomac. Mr.. Barbour shows himself to
be Il pretty decided and active Boss, and
by implication is condemning the meth
DDS and the men which have heretofore
dominated in State contests, on the Bour-
bon side.

accommodated by these several continent
tai lines, it isnow impossible to forecast.
That State after State will be formed and
admitted into the constellation in that
time, there is no reasonable doubt. The
agricultural. pastoral and mineral capaci-
ties of the country cannot be estimated
AS the lines of civilization are extended
and the agencies Of human progress and
improvement set in motion, we may ex-
pect to witness the desert to blossom as
the rose and the school house and church
shed their mellow and refining influences
over the habitation of the savage and the
waste places Of the continent.

MY DEAR SIR: The expenditure of
$50, 900 by your committee will insure the
electoral vote of Virginia for Garfield
and Arthur. Help us. Cassius, or we
sink" Yours truly.
JOHN F. LEWIS.
Mr.. Lewis was chairman of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee of Vir-
ginia. at the time. The capitation tax
restriction Oh the ballot was in force. and
there were at least $4,000 voters in the
State who were not qualified to vote. be-
cause of it. The letter had reference to
that and nothing else, and was doubtless
sent to the Chairman of the National Re-
publican Committee to let him know the
condition of affairs in this State. We
know that was Mr.. Lewis estimate of the
amount necessary to circumvent the I'M
constitutional restriction on the ballot.
and we further know that there was no
favorable response to it. All who know
John +. Lewis are fully aware that he
would not countenance the use of dollar
corruptly in any election. 1t was hoped
that aid would be given to make the bal
lot free and if it had been the State would
have voted for Garfield and Arthur.
