THE AVERAGE republican Congress.
man ofthe present age is not particularly
admirable. Yesterday many OF them, on
an unrecorded vote, sustained motion
to adjourn until Monday, so as to avoid
q night session set apart for the consid.
Grafton of private pension bills, but
when an aye and no vote was taken,
they turned tail and voted for the
night session. The fear of the "soldier
vote" or rather of the pension agents,
is as potential now as it ever was,
though nearly all the real "old soldiers"
are dead.

Judge Harrison, OF Winch ster, yester-
day received a letter from officials of
the Southern Railway stating that
they would comply with his decision,
rendered in the Circuit Court at Wood
stock several weeks ago, in regard TO
making connection with the Baltimore
and Onio Railroad at Strasburg juno
ton. The court ordered the Southern
to have its afternoon train arrive at
Sra burg junction not later than 5:52
o'clock, and for the Baltimore and ONO
to meet it there. The latter at once al
tered its schedule to comply, but the
Southern, while now announcing an ac-
quescense 10 the courts order, will
take the case to the Court of Appeals.

THE STATE MILITIA.

Gov. Tyler sent special message to
the General Assembly yesterday trans
hitting q bill providing for the reor-
ganization OF the Virginia volunteers,
in accordance with the regulations of
the regular army. The Governor says:
I'm my message, presented to the
General Assembly at the beginning of
the present session, | made mention OF
the fact that in order to have the
organization of our State volunteers
conform as nearly as possible to organ
izatioDs of like arm of the service of the
United States, have designated a
BOARD of officers who are experienced
and deemed capable to report a plan,
which it is hoped will promote the in
terest of the service. l. will be my
pleasure to submit their suggestions as
soon as they are completed
IL am pleased TO report that this
board, after long and careful investi.
cation of the subject, has formulated
bill suggesting plan for the reorgani-
cation of our State volunteers in con.
formity with the laws governing like
organizations in the United States ser.
vice, and l respectfully submit the
same for the consideration of your hon.
orable body with the hope that it may
meet with your approval.
ut is not necessary to call your at
tentiCn in detail to the various provis-
ions OF the bill further than 10 state
that it does not impose any additional
burden upon the treasury. 10 view OF
the great simpli6cations suggested and
the urgent necessity for proper laws to
govern the organization of our State
volunteers at this time, l hope that the
bill may receive as early consideration
as can be given consistent with other
duties devolying upon the legislature"

Railways without Tunnels,

There are, naturally. q number of
sweeping curves through the Urals, but
all tunneling has been avoided. The
writer did not see single tunnel In
the Ural range. 1t is remarkable fact
that during the Transsiberian railway
inspection the writer did not observe
tunnel anywhere, and even after con-
tinuing the inspection right into the
heart Of Russia about 2,0G0 miles more
Of line had been covered before he saw
the first tunnel; this after G,OOO miles
Of overland railway inspection.
The Russian railway engineer will
sooner blow up small mountain than
make C tunnel. leaving q yawntng
chsssn between .s1e rocks, with two
"streaks Of rust" at the bottom hereof
as souvenir OF his activity; or, If he
finds that, after going to the mountain,
the mountain is not likely to yield to
him his instructions are to circumvent
1t by long detour. Anything to avoid
tunneling! The primary aversion to
tunnels in Russia is not alone their
first cost, but their subsequent cost,
for tunnels, like houses, always have
something the matter with them."-
