While it was nominally private and
no formal publication Of the proceedings
has yet been made those present do not
hesitate TO impart details. IL was Doth-
ing less than an effort made by the
Mccarthy national committee 10 create
new national organization, which shall
represent all Irish constituencies and in
dorse the action Of the Irish mem 'ers OF
parliament in ousting Mr.. Parnell and set
ting uP in the patriot business On their own
account.
The policy TO be advocated Is that pur
sued by the United Nationalist and Eng
lish Liberals since 1856, and 1t is hoped
that The Irish National Federation, as
the new organization iyto be called. will
be powerful enough and representative Of
the entire country 10 such an extent that
Mr.. Parnell will be harmless in the future,
whatever course he may decide to take.

LEXINGTON.

LEXINGTON, Va, Jan. T.-lSpecial. J
The question may yet be well asked where
will the jackson monument be placed; for
while the executive committee decided
some time ago that it would gOi the Gene
terry. that decision was made before the
formal offer Of the Board OF Visitors Of the
Virginia Military Institute, through Gen
eral scott Shipp, mad reached them; be
sides at that time there had been little dis
cussiOn OF the matter. Now, however, that
opinions are being so freely expressed, IL
any concerted action is taken by the body
opposed 10 the C, meterY the directors may
give their appeal due notice. This Is an
opinion gathered from the streets, as the
committee apparently wish 10 keep the
matter ont Of print.
AT a meeting. held this week Of the
ladies of the Jackson Memorial Society the
site for the Monument was discussed at full
length, and while no vote was taken, the
consensus Of opinion seemed TO be decidedly
in favor Of not placing the statue in the
cemetery.
Among other reasons named, were that
the cemetery would in few years be filled.
and following the natural course Of such
places would be neglected, the situation
Of it being such that it cannot be enlarged.
The arrangement, too, is such as TO debar
any attempt 10 make drive either practical
or pretty around the statue. Visitors. OF
whom there are now a great many u the
grave, will alight at the Main street en-
trance and walk TO the site, 2 very short
distance. however.
some people simply take the broad view
that cemetery is no place for such statue
as this will be, life-like reproduction OF
heroic size, thinking rather that marble
shaft would be better suited.
The cemetery is situated on the south side
of Main street, near the centre OF the resi-
dent portion Of the town, and Is very pretty
plot Of grt und for such a purpose. Its
principal ornament is the large and beautl-
fu trees, anyone Of which spreads its giant
boughs over the quiet resting places Oi

g,tten. Among one of these groups is the
humble and unpretentiOus grave Of the
Great Confederate general, enclosed within

white slab, which shows the mark OF time

LYNCHBURG, VA, Jan. 17wlspecial.l !
On Monday committee viii start out
among the business men and others Of this
city 10 obtain subscriptions to a fund OF
$4,000 for the purpose Of aiding in adyer-
tising the resources Of this vicinity and the
advantages Of Lynchburg in particular.
When this amount has been raised the
Common Council will be petitioned to ap-
propriate a like amount, making S5,-
900 in all, with which TO conduct
the enterprise. The idea is to have
a concise but complete description OF
all the various lines of business
centering here or carried on here, as well
as OF the many interests appertaining to
Lynchburg. These descriptions are 10
be written by men who not only understand
each line, but have comprehensive kn0wl-
edge Of LynchbuTg as whole. In addition,
the lowest advertising rates Of leading pa
peTs throughout the country will be ascer-
tanned, and contracts which will be as ad-
vantageOus as possible will be entered
into looking to the dissemination Of
these descriptions which will be
truthful, uneXaggerated statement Of the
present condition Of Lynchburg and its en-
terprises. 1t is proposed that one competent
man be at the head Of this scheme with
probably six assistants, all Of whom will
have the confidence Of the entire commu-
nifty. They will, however, act under the
direction Of the business men OF Lynchburg,
and no fayOrtism will be shown to any one
interest. This is for the benefit Of Lynch
burg as a whole and that of the citizens,
and a similar plan adopted by every county
and city in the State would contribute
greatly TO their interests.
The sales of tobacco the present year
show a decrease of 2,0l0,jOO pounds, but
prices show no material change in any
grades. Few factories are at work, and
shippers find /: a dull business. There is
less internal revenue received per week
than ever before.
