Thursday, with Prince Augusta
Leopoldo, Duke of Saxeand grand

New Orleans abont two weeks, and
and will then proceed to Cuba. and
afterwards visit Charleston, Nor
folk, Baltimore, Washington and

We call attention to the Wash

concerning Virginia light houses.
There iSho doubtof tlle state of feel

Loyal and true to party as this peo-
pie have always been they have
reached the point when forbear-
ancc ceases to he a virtue. In the
last congressional election but for
Accomack this district would have
gone largely Repuolcan-and in
the presidential contest that year
she gave nearly one-siXth of the en-
tire majority of the State. These
are facts it will be well for Mr..
Cleveland 10 scrutinize. The re-
fusal to give to the men who cast
these votes the offices to which
they are entitled and the deSpicahle
action of Commander Evans in the
case Of Joseph 3. Amcs late keeper
of Hog Island light-has raised Il

action is imperative to still. If
the administration desires to make
uncertain the return OF Il Democrat

trict let it refuse to take action in
this matter. 1t is the last straw
that breaks the camcl's back. We
commend MI. CroNton for his

The whole country is panied to
learn of the illness Of Secretary
Manning-who was few days ago
stricken with appoplcxy. We are
glad 20 know, however, that he is
somewhat better and that his med
ical advisers rive hope of his ulti-
mate recovery. But that he will
ever be able to resume his official
duties is very doubtful. Few men
have been able to work so we'll and
so thoroughly as he-and should
lie be lost to the service of his
country it will be very hard to fill
Ills place. TO the President his
loss will he almost lrreparablc.-

We observe with pleasure tina
an effort is Icing made to secure
an appropriation to dredge out the
mouth of Onancock creek. This is
one of the most important of ouI
creeks, and the filing up of it's
mouth is ofvcly great interest not
only TO the private interest con.
rcrncG Tut also 10 the government.
Il is tie port of entry for very
large shipping interest and when
1T shall so occur that vessels and
steamers shall lie unable TO enter

nothing of he Baltimore mer
chants-to go by default. We are
sure that Baltimore will instruct
misrepresentation to aid Mr.. Crox
toE-and we trust that their eff
forts will meet with success. We
cannot afford to lave this creek
closed-to do so will carry ruin to
many whose livelihood depends on
its constant condition for safe and
sure egress and ingress. Congress
should by all means make the ap-
l'rcpriation-&nd liberal one too. :

To he cdiior Of The A'crand,ia Gazette:
AS my name has been mentioned among others
in connection with the democratic nomination for
Congress from this district, desire to state that
l see from the papers that it is possible if tho dis
trict shall generously, freely and without his So
licitation rcnominatc Mr. Barbour lie might sacri-
flee his wishes to theirs in the matter.
This in my opinion, ought to be done, and not
ungcnernusly force Mr.. Barbour TO declare his in
tentnns | believe that tho best interests OF the
district require that his services he secured, and
in tho most graceful and generous way by a
unanimous nomination.
To moro fully show my sincerity, desire to
recasc my friends and retire from the contest for
myself and enter it us = warm advocate of the
nomination being placed ut Mr.. Barbour's dis.
posal. As for myself can never forgot the great
services rendered our party by Mr. Barbour when
he led to victory in three several contests with
Mahone, and trust that tho people Of the Eighth
district shall never DO unmindful of what they
owe to him. Very respectfully,
E. E. MEREDITH.
