The Virginia legislature, which
meets biennially, will assemble on the
first Monday in December, and one OF
its first duties will be the election of
a senator to succeed Malone. The
bitterness of feeling engendered by
the late campaign is so deep aud wide
spread that Malone probably couldn't
buy enough democratic votes to be
re- elected, though he had the wealth
of the Indies at his command. Thus
far, the two leading-in fact. the two
only candidates are State Chairman
John S. Barbour and Major John w.
Daniel, but it is likely others will
spring up. Old Parson Massle would
like to go to the United States senate,

many of the valley politicians; but

January 9TH, 1865, warning Gen. Nc

INDUSTRIAL enterprise in the
porthern states continues to progress
year by year. and never before has it
developed as in the last year. The
Manufacturers Record of Baltimore,
Maryland, and the Mercantile and
Manufacturing Journal, of Richmond,
Virginia, shows that the last year has
attracted the largest amount of capi-
tai to the state. For the nine months
eading October the 31st, 1885, the sum
of $50,OOO,O00 was invested in southern
enterprises. West Virginia heads
the list of states In which capital has
been invested this year. Her miners

amount of capital, and citizens are

TIIE objection of a witness, who

dirty volume of the holy scriptures
that were presented to him for the

his testimony, is very illustrative of
the folly of some legal forms.
An oath is entirely useless if the
same penalty is imposed for testifying
to a falsehood.
The formality of an oath 'on the
