Tribute TO General Early.

Richmond, Va, January 7.-Malor
John w. Daniel, who served with
great distinction on the staff of
General Jubal A. Early during the
civil war. presented to r. E. Lee
Camp. No. 1, tonight q magnificent
portrait of his gallant old comman-
der, and in presenting it made most
eloquent and beautiful address,
eulogizing in the choicest language
the old war horse.
In the outset the speaker drew q
word picture of Lee and Jackson
in battle, with Early and Stuart
forging to the front to support them;
He told of how at times "Old Jube, ]"
as he afrectionately called him, was
rude and uncivil, but said in ex-
PLANTATION of this that he was at
tackled with inilammatory rheumati-
SIN while in Mexico, and while he re-
covered from the rheumatism he
never got over the intlammatory
part.
The Senator paid high tribute
to Early rs u commander, and said
that his campaign of 1864 was one of
the most remarkable in military
annals He might, he said, have
taken Washington after the second
battle of Manassas, but he had only
10 900 men, and, therefore, could not
have held it, and had he gone into
the city he would not only have
been driven out, but wonld have
shown Sheridan what bluff he had
been making all summer.

Hon. T. Weldon Berry, member OF
the House Of Delegates from Stafford
county, will it ia stated, Introduce a
hill soon in the House to abolish cap
ital punishment. He has convinced
himself by an investigation Of the
records of the State, that severe pen
alties do not prevent crimes and Will
be able, he thinks, to demonstrate to
the satisfaction of the other members
of the legislature that capital pun
ish1nent is a failure. He may be able
to do so and perhaps can explain why
several states which have abolished
capital punishment have been com
pelled to re-impose it again. The
majority of our Solons will doubt
less be hard to convince that the
terrors of the law are not the best
representatives. Of crimes.

A bill has been introduced in the
Senate of Virginia, which is designed
to amend the constitution, SO as to
reduce the number OF elections. The
amendment proposed is to abolish
the May elections and to have the
county officers elected at the State
elections in November. This is re-
trenchment in the right direction,
about which their can be very little
difference of opinion, we presume,
among the members of the Legisla-
ture and the reputation of the Legis-
ature as working body will be i'm
proved by hunting up some more
amendments of similar kind.

SATURDAY, JANUARY Is, 1898

That there will be some legislation
on the oyster question at the present
session of the Legislature seems to
be foregone conclusion, but just
what its character will be no one can
tell. Every member almost of that
body, beyond Tidewater. seems to
have some pet scheme for getting
"the millions of dollars out OF the
oysterbeds of the State they profess
to believe there is in them, but as
yet no agreement has been reached
bv them as to the way of doing 1t.
Bills looking to that object are not
wanting. but the provisions OF
most of them are so visionary that II
is hard to fathom the depths of the
knowledge of the patrons of the
various bills concerning oysters.
They, perhaps, don't know what
they mean themselves and we would
suggest to them, that their knowl-
edge would be improved in a way to
enable them TO legislate more sepslbly
on the oyster question, than is pro-
posed by them. if they will take the
pains to inquire as to the hard life
the oystermen often lead and the
meagre support they find oftentime'
in the business. Taking, as the most
of the legislators do, the numbers Of
acres in our oyster beds and multi
plying them by so many dollar:
and cents per acre will give
very pretty picture OF the wealth
that is in them. but as evanescent a.
the fleeting shadows are. Theories Oh
the question amount to nothing ane
it is to be hoped, that there is enough
of plain, practical sense among ou'
legislators to make them take com
mon sense view OF the question.
