There seems to be a misunder-
standing regarding the action of
congress upon the land laws. A bill
was introduced in the last congress
having for its object the changing
of the desert land acts and to annul
the pre-emption and timber land
acts. Upon the recommendation of
the senate a joint committee was ap-
pointed which formulated bill that
passed the house but never passed
the senate. So the matter stood at
the ending of the fiftieth con-
gress of the United States.
and in this condition it will remain
until next December, unless pres
ident Harrison calls special session.
The land laws stand to-day as they
have been for some time in the past.
II the next congress wants to do
anything towards revision of these
laws, they will have to be reintro-
duced as if no action had been taken
at all. There's one little change
the clause providing that lands
should be sold at private cash entry
is reported.

The Presidents BAY.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The presi-
dent has ut last established the regular
order of things at the executive mansion
and consequently he is enabled to devote
more time 70 his official duties. The Gus
tom of former presidents of receiving
callers from 10 to ~ O'Clock i'll the fore
noon will be followed by Gen. Harrison.
During these two hours there were many
persons received. Senators Washburn
and Davis, of Minnesota came early.
Others that called were Senators Stewart
and several friends, Senators Cameron
and Cullom, Representatives Wickham,
Dingle and friends and Reed, Senators
Blair and Hawley.
A number Of delegations came to press
candidates for positions. Among these
We're a committee representing several
states who favored Hon. r. r. Butler of
Tennessee, for commissioner of Indian
affairs. A delegation of District of
Columbia lawyers presented the name of
Judge job Barnard for the vacant posi-
ton on the district supreme bench. Mr..
Cleveland nominated Assistant Postmas-
ter General Stevenson for this place. but
the senate failed to act on the nominal
ton. Two more district delegations
called to request the president to nomi-
nate district commissioner from the re-
speetive sections of Washington that they
represented. At half past IL a meeting

state of Washington would make the
same declaration.
AT. Butler Zone of the members of the
select committee) said that he had not
supposed. when the select committee was
provided for, that there was any inten-
ton Of considering the question of the
annexation of Canada or of political
union of the two countries.
Dir. Gibson said that as there had been
distinct avowal that il was no part of
the business of the committee TO deal
with the political relations of Canada.
but that it was to confine itself exclu-
sively to business and commercial rela-
tons, he was disposed to support it very
cordially. But the United States had
very extensive relations with Mexico.
and inasmuch as this select committee
had no political mission whatever, he
suggested that it should be also instructed
10 inquire into the relations between the
United States and Mexico.
Mr.. Hoar said that he would cheerfully
vote now or hereafter. for a select COM
mittee to deal with the important and in
teresting subject of Mexico, but he did
not think il wise at this time to put that
burden on this select committee.
Mr. Gibson-Then / give notice that |
will offer a resolution for the appoint
ment of select committee to inquire
into our commercial relations with
Mexico. having nothing to do with our
political relations.
Mr.. Frye--If any one supposes that
annexation with Canada is to be had by
any movement on the part of the United
States. he is most profoundly mistaken.
Mr.. Call favored the appointment of
the committee and gave notice that he
would offer resolution for the appoint
ment of like committee ON the rela-
tions of the United States to Cuba and
the West Indies
Dir. Payne withdrew his motion to
strike off the list of the committees the
select committee on relations with
Canada.
The select committees We're then agreed
to, and after a short executive session
the senate adjourned.

rumors that the house is haunted. 1t has
borne this reputation for several years,
and has stood idle most of the time.
Tenants say they heard the rafting Of
chains on the stairs at night, and the ap-
partition of a young woman in white
Rowing garments, who walked ON the
parapet of the roof and then suddenly
disappeared, was frequently seen. A
party of young men who tried To brave
the spooks by sitting up all night in the
empty house say that they saw dancing
balls Of fire and they hurriedly left the
building. The people in the neighborhood
believe the house is haunted.

reaching this conclusion, these gentlemen
nave not been reckoning without their
most" The increased usefulness and
augmented attendance. which followed
the change from the local exhibitions of
lew years ago, incident to the District
organization. the location, extraordinary
railroad facilities. and the prominent
position already attained, justify them in
preparing to take the place left vacant.
Itisnot likely that the Richmond Exposi
tion will be repeated until a year or two has
elapsed, and even then its exhibitions are
confined to the illustration of the mechan-
ical and mineral resources of the Com
monwealth-the stock exhibit being a
mere sids-show and not extensive at that,
indeed, with rare exceptions, the premi-
ums awarded in this department were
won by exhibitors from the county of
Augusta. The counties adjacent to our
own, rich in minerals and fine stock will
come into more active competition. They
only need a little urging. We shall
recur to this plan again. and we welcome
the proposition, and congratulate the
Board upon its determination, and assure
it of the hearty cooperation of our people.
The whole programme of the annual fair
will be changed to meet the new condi-
tions and more suitable buildings will be
erected in time for the exhibition of '89.

Il CHAIRMAN FOR THE VIR-

Though it was not unforeseen, it does
not diminish the regret of the Democrats
of Virginia, to see that Hon. John s. Bar
bour has determined to resign the Chair
manshlp of their party at the next State
convention. While all will agree that he
has nobly earned respite from its harass.
ing duties, yet we suppose there are none
Of US who would not join in forcing him
to remain, if there were any probability
of our being successful. But if that is
hopeless, we think we can name man to
the Democracy, who is peculiarly fitted
for the leadership OF the party. It is Hon.
J. Taylor Elyson, late a State Sena-
tor for Richmond and now its Mayor.
There Is no man in Virginia who in a
greater degree combines the broad and
overlooking ability, the intuitive appre-
hension of political situations. the shrewd
forecasting of the enemy's movements, the
tireless energy, and the Barbour-like cool
ness of head. He IS man of the people
as public man could be. He is man of
wonderful concentration of purpose, and
boundIess ingenuity in the avoidance of
party boys and the selection of the high
open roads to success. He has had years
of experience, and its result has made him
one of the shrewdest party managers in
the State. If he can be persuaded to take
it, the Democracy of Virginia will have
done good work for its future.

GO SLOW,

We would suggest to any of our citizens
who may be suffering from symptoms of
the emigration fever, to 60 slow. By this
they may avoid a good deal of useless
regret. The starting up Of the Victoria
Iron Works distributes a good deal of
employment around this section; it
does more, it forms the first break in the
stagnation of enterprise around stanton.
The North Mountain Iron Mining Com
panY commenced work at Ferrol last
week and train on the g. & 0. Ry. was
loaded one day with large batch of
miners on their way to those works. More
than this. there is growing and restless
feeling among our people looking to start
ing some works to bring people here-a
feeling that once aroused rarely dies out
without accomplishing something. Wait
awhile before cutting loose from your old
town. If the pulse of progress has begun
to beat through her veins, the worst thing
you can do for her is to leave her. Go
slow.
