kilograms from various quarters OF the

that meeting of the New York Cham
Der of Commerce would be held to-day
to protest against having the country
hurried into war in its unprepared
condition. Two of the Virginia mem
bers of the House not previously inter-
viewed on the subject said they had
not voted for the bill to appoint the
commission to Venezuela. and did not
think it conducive to the best interests
OF the country. Indeed many of those

TIE GOVERNOR was right in sending
troops to Pocahontas to efforce Law and
preserve property there, and if county
and city officers be indisposed or either
morally or physically afraid to call on
him to quiet disturbances elsewhere,
he should be authorized to act in IT,,
premises without such calls. Law and
order must be observed. or life and

TIE MONROE doctrine. as construed

parties in Congress, means, practically,
that the United States shall hold pro
tectorate over the whole western henri

their hands more than full, for, owing
to the numerous revolutions and insur-
rections in the Central and South
American so-called republics, one or an
other of them is constantly getting into
trouble with some European govern
ment by reason of damages sustained
by foreigners. The government OF this
country has all it can we'll do to attend
10 its own affairs, aud, by following the
wise advice of General Washington,
to avoid meddling with those of other
nations, it will conduce greatly to the

The legislative investigation into the
State House expenses, during Barney
Ford's management, thus far shows sur.
prising amount of fraud. 1t appears that
the State House has been twice refurnish-
ed within the past five or six years, better
furniture having been thrown out than
that put in. The charges for these sup
plies were more than double what they
could have been bought for at retail in
open market. Over hundred thousand
dollars has thus been spent, showing a
plain robbery of over fifty thousand,
without reference to the fraud of furnish
ing rooms when they were already fur
nished. Several prominent politicians ap-
pear to be involved in these transactions
and more surprises are promised.
