 '.That idea of The Call Is grand thing, sure I am heartily in favor of it. But that proposed exposition should be done on grand scale in order to attract the people not only from all over the United States but from out side our boundaries. It will be an ex- cellent opportunity, indeed, to make magnificent display of olr unexam- pied resources.
 But the transcontinental railroads should be required to make rates dur ing the exposition that will entice the people this way. For instance, If the railroads would make such round trip rates as they did last summer TOT the

THE LEGISLATURE.

"There is no lack of evidence
from Democratic sources that the
Legislature which recently adj
journed in Richmond is the
weakest body of: men which ever
disgraced our State"
We take this from the Spirit of
the Valley, conducted we believe
by Mr.. ID. Shcll'cy Lewis, who
certainly DON'T believe the asScr
tlon he makes. That he should
make it, gives, another evidence Of
the unmitigated rancor Of that class
of Republican partizans who have
found themselves allied TO people
not of their kind, and who strive
to elevate their associates by
bclittleing their opponents.
The last Legislature Of Virginia
was a very crcditablc body of men
indeed, and as Il rule what they
did was in the right direction
They did nothing to ''disgracc the
State" and taken as n body
would compare tavorably with
any deliberativc body in the
United States, certainly not cx-
cepting the Lower House of Con
Sress. When the Spirit of the
Valley sees the bcneiiccnt effects of
some of the measures adopted it
will probably change its tune.
provided always that the blind
ana unrcaSoning prejudice of its
class, will permit it to see. How he
gathers no slack oicvidcnccr from
Democratic sources '.to back his
statement is one of those my StcricS
OF partizan journalism that are
past finding out. Compare thc
last General Assembly with the
gangs that Malone used to bring
together, and then qualify YOUR
statement. They elected Judges
