The Democrats of the Ninth district
have renominated tho Hon. JOHN A. BIZ.

districts where the Republicans will make

His FIRST appearance upon the floor OF

indicative of the practical and snccessfui
representative. In Congress he has taken
high rank. and in the discussion on the
bankruptcy bill particularly was be able to
render el5sotive service. and several amend

the farmers were adopted.
Mr.. BUCHANAN is fine lawyer, Q calm

Convention Hall.

We sympathize in the desire expressed
by many that the Democratic convention
which is to be held here next Tuesday
may have more comfortable and commo-
dious hall than that secured for it's use.
Probably the District Committee feel
doubtful about the propriety Of making a
change at this late date lest their motives
DO misconstrued.
The best thing that can be done now, 80
far as We can see. il to obtain good large,
airy hall which viii seat all the delegates
and alternstes and several hundred specta-
tors, and give to the convention, after
organization. the option of adjourning to
II.
Tickets for outsiders might be printed in
advance and handed TO the delegates in
equal numbers for distribution among
their friends.
We feel satisfied that il arrangements are
mado to admit visitors many country peo-
pie will come to Richmond Tuesday TO
witness the proceedings of the convention
If the sessions are held in the Ballard
House Hall there will be room there for
very few OF them; indeed the limited Co.
pacity of that place will require the exclu-
sion Of all persons who are not delegates
or alternates.

NORFOLK, Va. August IA. 1890.
The cities of both Norfolk and Ports
mouth are now in need Of new cemeteries.
While thousands Of new homes are being
provided for the living and population is
rapidly increasing the people Of the two
communities are passing away ut some-
thing like the rate Of 200 per annum, and
the limits OF the resting places of the dead
are exhausted. Several months ago the
last lots in the two cemeteries in Ports
mouth were sold. and authority was
granted by the General Assembly TO issue
for new grounds, but nothing has been
done. In Norfolk the last lot in Elmwood
was sold last week. and the Councils are
now looking for suitable site for another
Gods acre" not too far from the city
limits.
TO ELECT DELEGATES.
The Democrats will hold ward meetings
on the 18th Of September to elect members
of the new City Executive Committee and
10 elect delegates Ito the Suffolk congress
sional convention. Norfolk is entitled TO
thirty-three delegates 10 the convention.
The Real Estate Exchange of this city
has appointed committee 10 confer with
the real estate agents throughout tho State
as to the advisability of holding a conven-
ton in Norfolk on the LIST of November.
The Exchange is also looking into the mat
ter of lawyers aud others making busl-
ness of taking options and selling pro-
perry without taking out license to do
that kind Of business.
THE DEATH RATE.
During the month of July there were
seventy deaths in Norfolk, the colored
element being in excess. Exactly the same
number Of deaths occurred last July. The
health authorities are getting up report
on vital statistics of this city.
/ The Business-Men's Association is en-
gagged in registering the heads of house
holds and others who were not called on
by the United States census enumerators.
Several manufacturing industries IN this

The Henrico Murder.

An unpleasant feature Of tho prosecu-
tons in the matter Of the alleged murder
of SANxox RospErrcHER in Henrico county
is that it is quite certain that Of the foui
persons accused one or two or three are
innocent.
That they are all guilty as principals
or as accessories either before or after
the fact Is wholly Incredible; and yet fol
the time being. and possibly ALWAYS, the
guiltless must suffer in public opinion with
the guilty.
This is terrible hardship, and one fol
which the law offers no adequate relief.
The only thing to be done now is to
hasten the investigation, and make it SC
complete that the real culprlts will be
shown to the world.

The Governors Vacation.

Governor NckISNEY is about TO return
tothe city from his summer vacation. which
we know he deserves. and hope he enjoyed /;
though there has not been day that big
official envelopes and matters OF business
have not found their way to him.
The burdens and responsibilities Of the
executive Office cannot be escaped by mere
absence from the capital The pardoning
power. which By our Constitution is vested
In the Governor. brings upon the incumbent
of this office an army of visitors. aud i'm
poses upon him oftentime painful duties
of refusal. Many other States have found
il expedient 10 create boards Of pardon,
and il may be that in the course of time
Virginia will adopt the idea. and thus to
20 some extent relieve her Executive Of q
burdensome duty.
But there are hundreds of other respon-
sibilities associated with and incident to
the Office and these have been many times
multiplied since Virginia has been at war
with her creditors The debt business in
one or another way, has given our Cover
nors since WAIKKRs administration almost
enough work to occupy their whole time.
Governor LEE laborod day and night on
IL for years. and If he could not secure a
settlement he laid foundations upon which
Others. possibly, may build. Now comes
Governor McKrSNEy's turn. and the pa
friotic public indulges the hope that
during his term settlement may be reach
oil which will be- thoroughly acceptable
both 10 the taxpayers and to the bond
holders.
We do not doubt that in the quiet Of his
summer retreat the Governor gave to this
extremely important subject deal OF
thought II he is able to fix upon q
plan which will be acceptable to the
creditors, TO the voters. and to the two
houses of the General Assembly he will do
a service which, of itself, Will entitle him
TO historic renown in this Commonwealth.
1t may be said that the creditors are the
ones who should frame and submit q
scheme. Well. of course they are going to
lo this. but if theirs is not practical we
will want substltute-and this perhaps
the Governor has thought of.
Before the Governor lies The prospect OF
an extra session of the General Assembly
this winter. Reapportionment OF the re-
representatives. in the two houses of the Gen.
eral Assembly must be made before the
next legislative election; reapportionment
for representation in Congress Is also to
be made, after Congress has distributed
representation upon the basis of the GEN.
sus of 1890.
Altogether we see before the Governor
much labor. His renewed health and
strength will therefore serve him in good
stead and will enable him, we trust. to pilot
the old ship of State Of every rock and
shoal that threaten her course.
