STATE Finances.

The House Finance Committee-Mr.
Buford chairman-met yesterday morn
ing and made encouraging progress in
considering the general appropriation
bill. The disposition is rather to de
crease than to increase the expenses OF
the Commonwealth, so that there shall
be ample money to pay the 3 per cent.
on the public debt if the creditors fund.
Tomorrow this committee will meet
to consider private bills.
AS soon as the appropriation bill is dis
posed of the State pension law will be
taken up. Most of the members ap.
prove it, but there are many details to
be determined upon before it will be safe
to submit it to a vote OF the House.

REMOVAL OF RAILROAD OFFICES.
n Called Meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce Ou the Subject.

A called meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce will be held this evening at
o'clock to receive the report of the
committee charged with the conAdera-
ton of the question as to what right
railroad companies chartered by the
laws OF Virginia have to remove their
general Offices out of the State.
This Is an important question, and it
seems to he the purpose OF the Chamber
TO push the matter while the Legislature
is IN session, so that if a remedy can be
devised the Legislature can be called
upon to apply 1t.
This meeting was not determined upon
by President Ainslie until last night, and
because of the limited time members
will not receive printed postal notices as
usual.
This meeting is not of the members OF
the Board of Directors merely, but of
al members of the Chamber. All who
pay the annual dues are entitled and de-
sired to attend.

Held by The Enemy" " at the Acad-
eEny

An enthusiastic audience witnessed the
production OF the drama Held Ivy the
Enemy" at the Academy last night.
The play is a good piece Of dramatic
work. The opening scene is laid in one
Of the old hOmesteads OF Virginia during
the war, and Confederate aud Federal
soldiers figure in the performance
Throughout. While the members of
the cast are quite equally balanced,
ye5 there are two or three charac-
ters specially good. Mr.. Perkins as
Uncle Rufus, who wanted to be shot in
place of his master Mr.. Farrell as
Thomas Henry Bean. Special for Leg
lies, and Miss Du Pree as Susan Ne
Creery, who is very fascinating, were
better than the rest, the latter two i'm
pregnatin9 the entire five acts, and espe-
ciGlly the last one-the best-with
bright aud .exhilarating vein of humOr.
The imitation of the horses canter WAS
forcibly real and was much applauded.
The audience was very large, and quite
a number of veterans from the Soldiers
Home were present on invitation. Gov
ernor Lee and family occupied one Of
the proscenium- boxes.
"Held by the Enemy" will be repeat
ed to Onight.

nothing was oyerstrained. There was
no tearing a sentiment into tatters. but,
though thoroughly dramatic and founded
on an incident of the terrible reign of
terror Of the French Revolution, seemed
to be domestic in its realization. 1t is
undoubtedly treat to see this novelty.
OF the characters Mr.. Warde OF course
stands first, and as the French Soldier
and Patriot he fills the character every
"inch." Miss Eugenie Blair is Therese
that no citizen of La Belle France could
allow to remain the Countess de Ire
venue. The cast was good throughout.
The play will be repeated Saturday

Speaking Of the history of the war he

1t was only when troops were ordered
iuto her territory and the Constitution
was crushed in the mailed hand of war
that these border States, driven to their
last resort if the exercise of constitu-
tional nights, withdrew from the Union,
against their interest and against their
wish. Proof of the deep sincerity of the
principle which inspired them is the
uuanimity with which the South accepted
the issue From the instant that war
was declared the whole people were in
arms. 1t was not merely the secession
ist, but the steadfast Union man, who

THE REASON.

The solution OF the mystery is found,
] think, in the wonderful rapidity of the
development of the country. The pro-
gress of the nation was 50 marvellous
that there was no time TO record it, The
race was so mOmentous that their Young
Atalanta had no time TO pause even to Sc
cure the apples Of the Hesperides.
The SOutherner was cmInently self
contained. He cared not for the worlds
applause. As there WAS no human tri-
bunal which he recognized, why should
he keep a record of his life? 1t was a
life which the outer world misuhder-
stood and misjudeed. The Southerner
was not OF Il spirit to take misjudgment
meekly. He met it with pride which
success did not temper and defeat could
not Quell.
