The danger to Virginia from reck-
less Legislation on the oyster question
has, according to the latest advices
received by us, been averted, and
now. it is believed, that no material
change will be made in the present
oyster laws at this session OF the
Legislature. The "Ellinger Bill, "
the source of that danger, and which
at one time so seriously threatened
the best interests of the State has
not only been abandoned, but Mr..
Ellinger, having concluded, perhaps,
that he YVES not authorized TO speak
for Virginia in matters relating to
her oyster interests has, we are ad
vised, shaken the dust of the capital
from his feet and left for parts I'M
known. Other bills equally objec
tionable might be introduced, but it
is not likely that at this time in the
session, that any bill however much
in revenue to the State it promised,
could be seriously entertained by
many of our Legislators. Two other
oyster bills are now before our Leg
islature-one to have all natural
oyster rocks omitted in the late
geodetic survey included in that
survey, which will likely be defeated
through fear, that to pass it, would
open up the whole oyster question
the other, if not intended as joke
so visionary that it must fall by it:
own weight, introduced by AIR. Clay
ton, and as follows: ITO authorize
the Governor to advertise for bid:
and enter into lease of the natura
oyster rocks, beds and shoals, in the
waters of Virginia, provided that the
lease shall be for not less than ter
nor more than twenty years and the
rental shall be paid annually in ad
vance; the lease not to grant power
to take oysters by dredging in water:
of less depth than twenty feet, ant

The election bill passed by the
Senate, has been rejected by com
mittee of the House, and another has
been reported in it's stead. The
House, it was thought, would approve
the Senate bill-the failure to do so
means probably that the Walton
election law will remain unchanged
at this session of the Legislature.
