Roads, Reads.

A lawyer friend advises US that there il
no law to make county in Virginia re-
gponsible for an accident to life or limb
growing out of defective county bridges,
roads, &c. This being true, the Lsgisla-
ture should lose no time in passing a Law
that will make counties responsible in dam.
ages in such cases.--Peters0urg in9eg-Ap
peal.
We agree with our Petersburg conten-
porsry. There is no more reason why city
should be responsible In damages for neg
lected and dangerous stFsets then that a
county should be for dangerous and exe=
cradle roads, and if the General Assembly
will pass a Law at its next session making
the counties SO amenable, it will have fiae
effect and will be worth hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to the State. The people
of Virginia do not appreciate what they
lose in value Of property every year by
neglecting to hav good roads in every
county. The road question is as important
as the debt question. Norfolk Landmark.

An Admlrer of Rev. Sam Jones.

An Admlrer of Rev. Sam Jones.
Among the thousands who heard Rev
Sam Jones on the last Sunday he cached
here, was Mr.. N. L. Blakemore, formerly
of Sangersville, this county, now resident
of Tenth Legion, Rockingham county, who
is quite an .admirer of him, az appears from
his letter to the Rockingham Register in
which he says
"Well, we went to Staunton, saw and
heard the great evangelist, Sam'I P. Jones
preach. We had read OF him and went to
hear him without prejudice or partiality
towards him, 80 we could be able to form q
proper opinion of him, according to our
judgment, as man and preacher Of the
Gospel. In our opinion, he Is the greatest
man on this continent in the course he has
espoused. There ia but one Sam Jones,
see his like. He cannot be duplicated.
There is more magnetism about him than
any man. we believe, now living in his call
ing. He electrifies all in his hearing. On
Sunday morning, the 5th inst, there we're
ten thousand persons present. Perfect 81
lence prevailed to illustrate, you could
have heard a pin fall. His sermon in the
evening Ito men only3, which was listened
to by at least eight thousand, was the
grandest we ever heard, in declaring the
doctrine of our Lord and Master 1t was
simply grand, and its effect was plainly
visible upon saint and sinner in that great
congregation. He said in substance, that
be would like to have some evidence Of the
approval or disspprovsl of his efforts for
the good Of souls since his had labored with
and for them, during the time he had been
with them, and said that when be CLOSED
his sermon, he wanted all present that az
proved of his course, to come and take him
by the hand. We believe, that as far as
we could judge, there was at least ninety
Per GENT, of that vast crowd of eight thou
sand persons who tooi hip by the hand.
And, strange az it is, the most violent per-
secutors and reviIers he has, are members
of the different branches of the Christian
church. We believe him to be man OF
God, the opinions of others to the contrary
notwithstanding. His amusing sayings, as
published by the newspapers, is not cor
rect standard to Judge him by. He must
be seen and heard before any one can ooras
to any thing like a correct opinion of him, "

Beaten by Her Own Figures.

Beaten by Her Own Figures.
The people of Dallas were so COM
pletely dszed by the figures of the
census report declaring San Antonio
to be the most populous city in the
state that they now publish an
amended return, by which they claim
to have her placed in advance of all
others. By this amended report, &C.
cording to the Dallas News, the pop.
ulation of that city is 36,067, with q
suburban population of 5000, MAX
ing their entire showing reach
46,067. The News is too mod.
est by half. Why did it not
include Fort Werth as well as Oak
Cliff, and other places on the road.
And yet, with all their figuring and
striving to create a population that
city exists OH paper. TheNews is not
as liberal rs San Antonio has been
when rating the population of Dallas.
In the folder published by the San
Antonio Commercial Exchange, the
population of Dallas is placed at 49,
l40, which Ia more than Is claimed by
the News under the revised report.
Make another effort and you will es-
tablish a reputation TOR enterprise If
not for correctness in figures. San
Antonio holds the age and does not
intend to pass it.
The winning card has been in the
hand of Mr.. Granville II. Martin,
secretary of the San Antonio Com
mercial Exchange, but he did not
care to play it till now. Give us an
other shuttle Mr.. News. The last
trick is ours and you are fairly
euchured On what you thought was a

troops of Charleston, who constitute
the only brigade of colored troops in
the United States, paraded today
and were officially inspected by the
adiutant general of the state. There
were several thousand men in the
ranks. 1t was the largest parade of a
military character ever seen In
Charleston. In the procession were
ten regiments of infantry of ten COM
panies each and a battalion of cavalry.
Most of the companies wore the uni
ted States army regulation uniform.
A striking feature OF the parade was
the blue palmetto flag of South Caro-
lima. 1t was the first time in the his
tory of the organization of the colored
troops that the palmetto flag has ever
been borne in the procession as regi-
mental colors.

point never before decided in Florida.
A prisoner was indicted for murder
in the first degree and tried three
times. At the first two trials he was
convicted of murder in the second
degree. On the third trial the YER
dict was guilty of murder in the first
degree. The supreme court reverses
the decision of the court below and
holds that conviction for the lower
grade bars trial for the higher grade
of crime. The court adds 'jurors
must get their law from the courts,
they have no right of access to law
books after retiring"

THE Willis Index is not exactly
happy over the Chiffon appointment,
Judging from the following comment
upon that selection:
Governor Hogg is evidently a
faithful believer in the you-tickle-me-
and-pll-tickle-yo style of politics.
United States Senator Horace Chiffon!
Well, well, well; wonder what Hub
bard and Herndon and Mills and
Culberson and Terrell think of that?
Governor Hogg will find out after
awhile that there are other places in
Texas besides Tyler, but he is little
slow in gathering the information.
The people of Texas are not shouting
themselves much hoarse over Mr..
Fosters appointment on the state
railway commission, but he seems to
be the best tickled man in Texas over
it."
This is a matter purely within the
democratic family and the children
