ALBANY, n. Y, Nov. 6.-The Bartlett
exposure has fallen fat throughout the
state. Coming so late in the campaign IL
is regarded by all voters as a political story
of lutte worth. II is not probable that the
revelation OF Bartletts relations with
Marsh in selling post traderships under
Secretary Belknap will influence any voters
The Star correspondent has been watchful
of the effect in this city.
The story was published simultaneously

strength will not be lessened by its publ

So far as the other features OF the cam

sin.e the advices to The Star last week.
THE only doubt exists 10 the election OF
MAYNARD and the election of a majority OF
democratic assemblymen. Democratic con-
troll ~ the legislature il in jeopardy, with
the chances of election favoring democratic
success.

The Virginia Goyernorship.

Several counties elected delegates
Monday last to the Virginia Demo
cratic State Convention. The Isle
of Wight county delegates were in
structed to vote for the nomination
of Hon. Charles T. O,Ferrall for Gov,
ernor. Franklin elected % O'Ferrall
and Q Tyler delegates. In Prince
William a majority of the delegates
chosen are in favor of O'Ferra!l. In
Prince Edward county two districts
elected delegates, all O'Ferrall men.
The fourteen delegates elected in Pu-
laski county were instructed to vote
for Tyler for Governor as long as his
name is before the convention. An
analysis of the result OF the recent
primaries held in Rappahannock
county shows that O'Ferrall gets
seven and Hoge Tyler four delegates.

The action of the Board of Trus-
tees of Margaret Academy, will re-
ceive, we believe, the endorsement
generally of the people of the East
ern Shore In arriving at their con-
clusion, the sentiment doubtless pre-
vailed, to locate the Academy where
it is most likely to be a success and
such decision is in accord with the
wishes of the great bulk OF our peo-
pie. Onancock is of course the place
for the Academy. There it will be
no experiment. but success, not in
the future but at the beginning. 1t
might have been success elsewhere,
but there it has been demonstrated
for years that such school as it was
the duty Of the trustees to establish
could live and flourish. We, of course
have no disposition to criticise the
action of the trustees who preferred
the establishment of the school at
some other place. Their preferences
were not only reasonable, but good
results are likely to follow. Their
differences indicate that Onancock
is not the only place for good schools
on the Eastern Shore, but the liberal
contributions offered by citizens OF
certain localities to secure the Mar
garet Academy funds, show that they
are likely to have them and we hope
they will. The Academy at Oman
cock is more certain of success if it
has such schools to draw its material
from and everyone on the Eastern
Shore surelY-Willl BE ghaaAft tad 55 # ct
education can be secured equal to
those at any academy in the State.

Sunday Opening q Failure.


CHICAGO, July 2.-The Sunday
opening Of the Worlds Fair is q fail
ure. Two thirds of the exhibits are
covered up so that they cannot be
seen. The exhibitors say they do
this because they want to give their
employees days rest. Many OF the
State buildings are closed because the
people of those States are not III
favor of opening the fair on Sundays.
The Art Palace alone has all its ex-
hibits uncovered as on week days.
If the admission fee to the grounds
were reduced to twenty-five cents on
Sunday the opening on that day
might prove a financial success, but
not otherwise The. paid admissions
to-day were only a., 754, not half the
usual week day number.

The Long and Short Haul.

ATLANTA, GA, July 4.-Judge
Newman, of the United States Court
of Northern Georgia, has just rem
dered a decision which takes all the
yirility out of the long-and short
haul clause of the interstate COM
merce act.
A Cincinnati firm brought com
plant against the Cincinnati. New
Orleans and Texas Pacific, the West
ern and Atlantic and the Georgia
Railroads, charging them with violat-
inc the long-and short haul clause,
by making $137 rate from Clncln-
natl to Social Circle, Ga, while
charging but SLOT to Augusta, lSS
miles further, on the same line.
The commission ordered the road
to make higher rate to Social
Circle than to Augusta. The roads
disregarded the decision, and the
commission entered suit to compel
obedience.
! Judge Newman reversed the order
of the commission and incidentally
its order to lower the Augusta rate
to 500.
that through rates were quoted from
Cincinnati to Augusta, and not from
Cincinnati to Social Circle; by
|ouoting local rates only from Atlanta
to Social Circle it formed a different
| line.

The Third party campaign was
opened in Virginia, at Amelia Court
house, on last Wednesday. by Gen.
Jas. G. Field, late candidate forvice-
President on the Populist ticket. He
predicted bright future for his par
ty. He never fails to abuse the Dem
ocratic party and did not on that oc.
casion, and usually with a reckless
disregard for the truth. Notwith-
standing the fact, that tho evils
which now threaten the country are
due to financial measures of the Re-
publicans, he is so ignorant or I'M
fair that he says that the Democrats
alone are responsible. He wants to
be the nominee of the Populists for
President in 1896 and, wanting the
republican votes, doubtless does not
think he can afford to abuse them.

C. f.. Va, as second-class matter.


President Cleveland has issued a
proclamation calling Congress to-
gether in extra session on August
18th. "Unwise laws which must be
executed until repealed" has called
for the exercise of that prerogative.
and the tone and spirit of the procla-
mationseemst to indicate that a speedy
remedy is demanded for the tinan-
cial evils under which the country is
suffering. The action of the Presi-
dent is by no means unexpected, as
it has long been known that he has
attributed the financial stress to
which the country has been subject
ed to the Sherman Act and has
therefore favored its repeal. His
delay, III the matter, it is stated, was
for the country to be enlightened
as to the exigencies of the
case and his uncertainty as
to what Congress would do
until public opinion had pointed out
the line of duty which many mem
beers of Congress should follow. With
the crisis which seems to be at hand,
enough patriotism ought to be found
in Congress, to correct legislation
which has caused the present i'm
pending danger and distress, y
whether the Sherman Act or any
other is responsible for the same

Ex-Congressman, John NJ. Langs-

ering of colored people at Wythe-

them some excellent advice. He adj
vised the colored people who live in
Virginia to remain here, giving as a
reason for this advice that ''in no
country, England not excepted, and
in no State in this country were the
colored people SO well treated, and
nowhere did they live under such
just and equitable laws or have q
better chance to become somebody
than in Virginia.

The executive committee of the
Virginia Agriculture and Mechanical
Society met in Richmond, Saturday,
to arrange some of the details of the
State fair. 1t was reported by the
body that if early indications prove
anything the show will be great
success. Particular attention is being
given to the races.
Col William L. Calhoun, of Atlantn,
has forwarded his check for 81, $50 to
the Jefferson Davis Monument Asso-
citation at Richmond. This sum was
collected in Georgia for the proposed
