Leather, common, was one of the feat
ures OF the market this morning as it was
during the last hour yesterday It ad-
vanced to II 3-8 before noon and seemed
quite able to go higher before the end of
the day. 1t is said that Mr.. Wormser has
sold out $1,000 shares Of the stock during
the past two days and it is matter of
some mystery where the big buying is
coming from. There is nothing more of
merit in the stock than there ever was and
1t is always certain that the advances III 1t
are purely manipulative.
The earnings of the Southern RaiIway
for the second week of October made an
excellent showing. The increase for the

the increases being s56. $40 and S661 ,S65.
Norfolk, common. continues strong and of
course there is talk of dividend for the
stock, but there is very little foundation
for 1t and il is given little attention in
conservative quarters. The stock is
worthy OF an advance without reference
to any dividend possibilities.

The question as to what is to be.
come Of supefsnnuated clerks in the
government service is becoming more
and more serious every day. In pri-
vate life, they would simply be drop
ped, but in the government service
they can nearly all bring influence
enough to bear to cause their reten-
ton, even when entirely beyond all
work. The salary cost is the least
evil that results for many bureaus
have really twenty or thirty per cent
fewer clerks than are shown on the
rolls. Being apparently well sup
piled, Congress will not furnish Others
and the service suffers. All sorts Of

The House of Delegates was very
conservative body. There were quite
a number Of new members and they
generally voted on all questions with
out regard to how any one else voted.
| do not think it can be said that we
had a leader. Captain r. S. Parks,
of Page, was a very influential man.
lie had a voice like fog horn and
was insensible to fatigue. He was
as a rule very level headed anu as an
advocate was eloquent and foTcible.
Z. w. Saunders made a most able
presiding officer and when he took
the floor, as he frequently did, to ad-
vocate some particular measure he
was listened to with close attention.
w. II. Graveley, of Henry county,
was another man ofrecognized ability.
He was something of free lance in
regard to political measures, but was
always conscientious, able and fear
less. There were numerous other
members who won great praise for
the conscientious way in which they
followed up their bills and the faith
full discharge of their duties.
Some of the members who were
most highly esteemed, and whose
opinions carried great weight seldom
made speeches on the floor, but did
their work in the committee room.
In the Senate was 4 galaxy OF able
men. Flood was more in the public
eye, although Billy Barksdale was
more in the press. Barksdale
thought to reform mankind with his
pure elections bill, and indeed the
genial members from Halifax made a
most gallant fight for it, but the odds
were too many. He was probably
the most pupular man in either
branch of the Legislature, and 1 think
deservedly SO, for he had a kindly
heart and an open, frank disposition.
McIlwaine, of Peter sburg, the law
partner of Alexander Hamilton was
probably the best lawyer in the Senate
although Munford. Wickham and
Graham Clayton were not far behind
him.
Clayton championed the bill for a
majority verdict in civil suits, and
this is about the nnly time he was far
wrong on public questions.
The Southwest members were as
whole far above the average and as a
rule voted solidly when any measure
came up affecting then portion Of the
State.
There was much political gossip
floating around during the close of
the session. Edward Echols, Monta-
que, Ellyson and Swanson were spok-
en- of for Governor. 1t was rumored
that Montague intended making
his home. and if he does
the fight between he and Ellyson will
be interesting.
Ex-senator Fl. S. Kane spent about
two months in Richmond during the
session and was warmly received by
his old colleagues in the senate. He
is regarded throughout the state as
one of the leaders of the party and
ne was much sought .efter by the
candidates. 1ie was free
