The energy and ingenuity displayed by
the Norfolk and Western Railroad Com
pany in advertising the advantages OF Vir-
Rinia are worthy Of oil praise. One OF Its
latest and best schemes is to send circu-
lar-letter to about 100 real estate agents,
located on or near its line, enclosing list
of names made 10 of persons who have
recently written to the company's officers
for pamphlets and maps in response to the
company's advertisements in the leading
agricultural papers of the country. Now
the real estate agent who has timber. mine
raj, or farming lands for sale can send to
those addresses his own circulars, and so
scores Of intelligent men are put to work
together to Get forth the inducements
which Virginia offers to new corners. Bull
letins Of this character are sent out to real
estate agents by the Norfolk and Western
Company about twice a week.

The determination of WHIrELAw REID
to quit the diplomatic business and return
to the editorial chair of the New York
Tribune is another illustration of how
difficult 1t is for a Newspaper man to be
happy In any other sphere of usefulness.
He no doubt wishes to be in the thick of
the presidential canvass, and perhaps he
has found that serving ones country as q
Minister to Paris costs more than 1t comes
to. He is said to have lived in grand style
and to have entertained sumptuously, and
it is quite probable that, as stated. he spent
in that alluring capital three or four times
as much money as UNCLE SAM paid him.

The Hon. JAMES G. BLAINE has written a

Inc Hon. JAMES ". DIANE naS Wrltten
letter to General ALoER congratulating the
Republican party upon its unity, and point
ing out the divisions in the Democratic
ranks. 1t may be observed that the hap
piness of the Republicsns--certainly Of the
Administration wing OF them--is largely
due to the withdrawal of MIR. BLAINE from
the presidential contest. And as for Al
Orr. he Is probably not in very contentel
state since the New York Sun recently
blasted his reputation as a soldier by pub
fishing the official record of his army ser
vice. which. to say tho least, is discredita-
bic to him.
Republicans generally need not whistle
too loudly until they are out Of the woods
i.e., until the Chicago convention has
acted.

Mr.. MURAr HALsTEAD writes from New
York to his paper, the Cincinnati CONNER
cidl Gazette, as follows:
The real question Is between Cleveland and
Hill, and Hill has tho State. This fact will be
placed before the country officially. Out Of the
1884 delegates to the Albany convention but thir-
teen are against Hill The opposition to Hill In
tho Democratic papers has dwindled away until
only the Mugwumps are manifesting their abill-
ty in protesting against the facts accomplished.
We trust that the Syracuse convention
will never be held. 1t has no good object.
1t will be q congregation OF Muswumps,
soreheads. and office-holders under CLEyE-
LAND looking out for new places. &C., &c.

Governor McY,nnsv.

Governor MoKnxBY's remarks at the
BIuss' banquet Monday night about the
settlement Of the debt and oyster ques-
tions would seem to indicate that he will
not disapprove the WASHINGTON CuAMsrRs
bill.
1t u, OF course, well-known that the
measure does not quite come up TO the ex-
pectations Of the Governor, a. set forth In
his special message on the subject. but it
Is certainly great advance on all former
legislation, and for this his friends may
reasonably claim great credit for him.
The bill to which he refused to give his
assent two years ago fixed the rental ut
20 instead Of % cents an acre, while the
present bill hxes it ct 81 instead of %
csnts per acre. So here. at once, is . de-
cided gain to us directly attributable to
the stand that the Governor has taken on
this subject. And the advance is far more
than at FIRST appears. 1t not only means
the increase of the rental price. but that
the land will be measured of to lessees
correctly hereafter. Unless the proposed
law Ia most faerantly and outragsously
disreRarded 1t will be possible no longer
for man to pay rent for six acres and
stake Of LOG. a. We are told by Tide
water member was true in one instance OF
which he had knowledge.
The members and the public seem to be
united in the opinion that the WASHING.
roN-CHAMBIBs bill 10 q tair one, and that II
will produce very considerable revenue
for Virginia. As we have more than once
said, IL 10 compromise measure: and
viewing 1t In the light OF all these circum.
stances, we trust that the Governor vii
And il compatible with his conviction OF
duty 70 give it his approval.
The public debt is triumphantly settled
and has gone to the credit of Governor
McKNxEY's administration. And 1t is
great and honorable distinction. Nov, t'
add to IL complete settlement OF thu
oyster question will mark it as one of thu
most memorable administrations within
the modern history of Virginia.
