Good PROGRESS.

To many inquirers the Dispatch answers
that 50 far as it can see the London and
New York committees are making good
progress in pooling Virginia bonds, pre-
paratory to formulating plan of compro-
mise.
The prospect is pleasing. Really it seems
that we are in sight of a settlement.
New three's (RIDDLEBERGERs) have sold
in New York recently as high "a 7O-the
greatest figure they have ever reached.
Consols are also unusually high.

Rla,ne Uncomfortable.

Tho enemies of BLAINE are conspiring
against HIM. and it is not improbable that
the Cabinet will be made too warm tor
him. RxRD and Mckinney are tho powers
that lie at Washington now. and the Presi-
dent is more in sympathy with them than
with Mr.. BLAINE.
1t would have been better for BLAINE had
he never accepted Office under Mr.. HARHI-
SON. Really he was never wanted. Now
he begins to know it,

Honor TO EwARr, OF North Carolina, who,
though Republican, has the courage TO
face the Moon-Faced Despot i'll the House
of Representatives and protest against the
iniquity of the proposed election law
His speech yesterday was a fine effort,
genuinely patriotic, wise and true. 1t
should have some effect toward bringing
the rabid northern Republican members Of
Congress TO their senses.

The state Committee.

This body of representative Democrats
will meet IN tins city tomorrow evening.
Two things seem tolerably certain-that
Chairman GORDON will insist upon the
acceptance Of his resignation and Mr..
B.nBouR viii not permit the committee to
elect him 10 fill tho vacancy. In this con-
tingency some new man must be sought,
aud the party leadership should he placed
in his hands at once, so that he may arm
and equip himself for the conflict which
the adjournment of Congress will precipi-
tate upon US.

A great amount Of this paper was emitted
by Virginia during the Revolution and
was received by the people at vastly de-
preciated value.
At first the notes were redeemable
"prior 10 December 1, 17Sj," but hostiii-
ties having ceased an act was passed re-
curing that they should be presented for
redemption prior TO October, 1882, and
providing that any holder failing 80 to do
should forfeit his due. The rate Of re-
demption WAS fixed at 1000 for one IN
specie. or Treasury certificates redeemable
in 1890 and bearing per cent. interest.
In October, 1856, an act was passed ex-
tending the time for redemption fifteen
months and after that we find no mention
of the matter in the Acts.
All, OF nearly all, the other States of the
Union found themselves in like condition

The vote stood seven for to three against

prohibit the use of blinds, screens. ground
glass, or any Other obstruction to the sight
IN bar-rooms, allowing no pool or billiard
tables to be kept, and allowing no liquors
to be drank on the premises except at the
bar. The penalties for violations are very

I The Original Package bill has passed
/ both houses Of Congress and has been
/ approved by President Harrison. Ii reads
as follows:
All fermented distilled or other intoxlcat-
ing liquors or liquids, transported into any
State or Territory for use, consumnrIon
sale or storage shall, on arrival In snch
State or Territory (or remaining therein
ne SUBJECT to the operation and effect of
The laws Of such State or Territory, enact
81 in the exercise Of the police powers to
the same extent and in the same manner As
though such liquors or liquids had been pro-
duced In such State or Territory, and shall
not be exempt therefrom by reason Of be-
ing introduced therein In original packages
or otherwise
Relative to this new bill the Bqngor
Wig very justly says.
This will put an end to most trouble
some question The rum sellers who have
oeeh laughing III their sleeves at this on
portnnity TO evade all State laws will not
be so mirthful now. In license as well As
prohibltory States the effect of the decision
was the same, namely, TO render the law
practically imperative. Under the terms
OF the Dill now signed by the President all
liquor Is made subject TO State law and the
original package nuisance will disappear
as rapidly as it sprung into existence, II
served the purpose of the rum sellers for n
brief period, but its day is over and the
people will rejoice.

Great Outburst of Natural Gas in Indiana,

CINCINNATI, Aug. II. A report receiyes
from Waldron. Indiana. states that a re
markable explosion of natural gas occur
red near there yesterday morning rocking
the entire country for miles around
Acre after acre of ground had been TORI
up to an unknown depth; from thousands
of points huge shafts of fame reared their
crests into the air
At times it appeared as if fiery lake
had settled down upon the earth, and as
the wind blew across it the appearance was
that of great field of grain swayed by
the moving atmosphere.
From the centre of the stream flames
thirty feet high came suffering and hiss
ing, throwing spray in glitterng showers
fifty feet each way The peculiar odor
that pervades all natural gas sections was
overpoweriDg. 1t was as strong as If a
vast quantity of gas was in the air.
Gigantic cracks like great wrinkles dot
ted the earth for hundreds of feet in some
directions. Stones were found scorching
hot two miles away and as the wind
occasionally parted the flames it was seen
that the earth was scooped out to depth
of fifty feet for over an acre in extent.
Natural gas was never suspected in that
vicinity and how it caught fire is mystery.
The greatest excitement prevails and
Of people are on the spot.
