Gov. OFerrsll has not AS vet ex
nmiued the papers submitted to him
by the court Of inquiry and, there

1t IL pretty well understood, how
ever, that tue court sustaIus the of
ticers who constituted the court
martial, refusing to proceed with
the trial OF ~ case, believing the
BODY to be illegally constituted, who
were ceusured by Col. Jones. IL
other words, the report according
to gossip i'll military circles, sus-
tnins the opponents OF Col. Jones,
but no one appears to be able to say
how far 1t goes. Gov. O'Ferrnii
told me to day that the report ana
accompanying papers would be ex-
nmIned Just as soon rs he could get
IA chance to do SO, but at 2 p. IN. he
had not united the string that bound
them together.

PorhIhitlonists. MIR. Hobson has
invited only Capt. Il. Il. Cooke, OF
the Popnlist party, to be present.
President Cieveland's financial
message appears To meet with gen
eral favor among the bankers ana
business men of richmond. AS eX
pinined III this correspondence yes
ieruay, the iinnnclerS Of this city
are almost Unanimously IN favor o.
an ISSUE OF bonds TO lido over the
present emergency and they THINK
well of popular loan. But OF al,
things they are most ANXIOUS for
prompt action on the part Of Con
gress. "What we need" snid Mr..
John II. Williams, of the banking
house OF John IL. Wiilmms ~ Son.
