The CITIZEN is gratified to know
that the oyster convention at West
Point adopted its plan for prevent
ing James River seed from being
carried out of the State as suggest
ed in these columns two weeks
ago. Also that the Legislature
has acted favorably upon the bill,
reducing, however, the severe penalty
tor violations as offered by the
West Point meeting. The matter is
one of great import to both planter
and longer, and all should aid in
seeing the law carried out.

Our rustic friend about ''sizes up
the situation, although he intends it
for sarcasm. The young Attorney
General has advanced very rapidly,
and it has not been altogether be-
cause of his brilliancy. Other lights
have been more brilliant and have
been snuffed because opportunities
were lacking. Opportunities have
been made for Mr.. Montague, and
made chiefly by one whom he is now
opposing. Notwithstanding his EN-.
Phatic denials there appear good
grounds for believing that, in a burst
