vene in Lynchburg tomorrow. Bishop
White is expected to be present and
preside.

Ties south of the James river TO the
boundary of Nelson county, including
the counties of Nelson, Augusta and

dolph, assistant bishop of Virginia, will
elect whether he will remain in the Old

Bishop Whittle will remain with the
old. In tbs event that Bishop Kan
dolph will also remain with the old Ill
occse, then the new diocese would
proceed at once to elect a bishop

VICTORY FOR THE RAILROAD CoMPA-
NY.-Among the important cases decid-
ed in the Court of Appeals last week
was that of T. w. Picllesimer against
the Richmond and Danville Railroad
Company. This is the second time that
this case has been before the Court of
Appeals and it has attracted considera-
bic attention in consequence of the
large amount involved. Picklesimer
was a stock drover, travelling with car
load of cattle from North Carolina to
Richmond. While attempting to
cross Dan river at Danville, he fell
from the side of box car up which he
was attempting to mount, and was Sc
verelv injured. Suit was Immediately
instituted against the company and
Judgment recovered for a large amount.
The railroad company carried the case
to the Court of Appeals, where this
Judgment was set aside and the case re-
manded to the Hastings Court of Dan
vile for new trial. At this new trial
a verdict was rendered against the com
pany for $4,000. From this judgment
an appeal was taken by the company
to the Court of Appeals, where, as above
stated, decision was rendered last
week reversing the judgment of the
lower court. Judge Hinton. in his
opinion, declares that the accident was
the result of the gross negligence of
Picklesimer himself and that therefore
there can be no recovery against the
company.

On SEVERAL occasions since the re-
cent election, Mr.. Cleveland has rciter-
ated the expression that public Office
is public trust and should not be used
for partisan purposes. Ifhe shall put
into effect the idea contained in that
expression few of the present Office
holders will hold their positions much
longer than will be required to iind
Others to fill them, for, from Cabinet
ministers down to tide walters, nearly
every man in the governments service

doned his office, for a longer or shorter
time, to work for the denomination and
reelection of Mr. Harrison, or was 9th
erwise actively engaged, either per

sort of work. If the civil service law,
OF which Mr.. Cleveland seems to be so
much enamored, be enforced by him,
few of the men now drawing govern
ment pay will continue to do so after
the 4th of next March.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES
Mr.. Cleveland.

New YORK, Nov. 22.-President-
eject Cleveland left town to-day IN
search of much needed rest. Since the
election he has been fairly overrun with
callers and the volume of his cores
pondence has been something enor-
nous. A reporter Of the Associated
Press called upon Mr.. Cleveland this
morning. In speaking of the absolute
necessity or relief from the annoyance
and exactions which are his daily lot at
home, he said:
81 have been amazed and gratiiied by
the thousands of letters of congratula-
ton which have received since the
election from the American people OF
every station in life and from every
quarter of thelland. 1t has been, how
ever, utterly impossible for me to read
even the letters of that description
which 1 have received, with the other
Interruptions which have thus far
seemed unavoidable. fully appreciate,
however, the good will and friendliness
which these letters indicate, and shall
not omit, as time allows, to read every
one of them. These good friends, of
course, will not expect any replies to
their communications, for that would
be utterly out of the question, and the
most that I can do is to say through
the press that 1 am not unmindful OF
their kindness. Many of the callers
whom have been obliged to receive
would not, 1 think, have encroached
upon my time if they had given the
matter moments reflection. Those
who have called upon me to talk about
offices, it seems to Inc, have
been little inconsiderate, and
certainly unnecessary and prema-
ture. l desire to give rs much
publicity as possible to the statement
that l do not propose to consider APP
plications for Office prior to my inaug-
ulation. and | shall avoid all interviews
on that subject. Those who under any
pretence gain an opportunity tc pre-
sent their applications orally, and those
who burden me at this time with writ
ten applications, cannot possibly do
anything which would so interfere
with their chances of success. Writ
ten applications will be so little regard
ed that l doubt if they ever see the files
in Washington, for there is no reason
or decency in my being overwhelmed
with such matters at this time.
Upon being asked how long he ex-
pectcd to be away on his vacation, Mr..
Cleveland replied: Gas to that 1 am
not certain, it would depend upon vari-
Gus conditions. expect, however, to
be absent about two weeks, and when |
return, unless I am somewhat relieved
from the unnecessary demands upon
my time to which / have been subject
ed here thus far, I shall shut up my
house in the city and find some more
quiet place to spend the winter. Ger
tainly between now and the 4th of March
ought to have sometime to devote
to other matters than receiving callers
and considering subjects which should
be postponed

BERLIN, Nov. 22.-The ceremony o
opening the session of the Reichsta2
was performed with the utmost pomr
and splendor. Emperor William read
his speech opening the session. In re-
ferring to foreign affairs the Emperor
said II cherish tho hope that Ger
many will not be disturbed in her
peaceful endeavor to promote her ideal
economic interests. At the same time
the development of the military power
of other European states imposes on us
the serious, nay imperative duty of
strengthening the defensive capacity of
the empire by thorough going meas
ures. In order to tighten the burdens
to be borne for the honor and security
of the Fatherland, so far as possible,
the period of service in the army will
be reduced to the extreme limit which
can be conceded. At The same time q
more extended training and the en-
ployment of younger men for the mill
tary service viii diminish the economic
military disadvantages arising from the
older class ofmen being called to serve"

as rewards for political work, the fact
never striking him that he would still
be selling dry goods in New York, or
practising law in Delaware, if he had
not been rewarded with Office for polit-
ical work. But his declaration seems
to be approved by Mr.. Cleveland. In

SOME AMERICANS are blaming China
for refusing to send any of her ships to
this country to take part in the pro-
posed naval review here next year.
People who put themselves in others
places never entertained for moment
the idea that China would accept the
invitation to do Sc. The Chinese are
subject to the same influences that opc-
rate upon other intelligent people. If
the laws of the Chinese government
made such an invidious distinction be
tween Americans and thepeoplc Of 9TH
er nations, as those of this country do
between the Chinese and other foreign
ers, does mortal man suppose this gov
eminent would accept any sort of invi-
tation from China, except one to fight?
China is not devoid of self respect, and,
what's more, she acts upon the princi-
pie that if all things do not come to
those who wait, time at last sets all
things even.
