gret5 the decision. however mistaken we
may think It, no good government In g
democratic country can ignore It. I feel,
therefore, that as an immediate practical
policy the question Of preference to the
colonies cannot be pressed with any hope
Of success at the present time although
there is a very strong feeling In favor of
tho other branch of fiscal reform. which
would give fuller discretion to the gov

the mother country, and says he can best
promote the cause he has at heart In q

The legislative commission appointed to
examine the State oyster beds during ths
recess, ana report to the coming session
upon the advlsability OF breaking the Bay
lor survey returned here yesterday from
a second tour OF inspection OF about tvs
weeks, and 1t is understood that strong
sentiment prevails among the members
In favor of breaking the famous lines,
The commission came UP from Old
Point having left the State steamer in
which the voyage was made, and come to
Richmond by rail,
& While the commission as a body did not
care to make any official statement, pre-
ferring to embody their views In a report
to the Legislature, 1t Is understood to be
the sentiment of at least q majority OF
the members that the interests Of the Stats
will be hest subserved by taking out Of
the lines the vast area OF alleged barren
rocks, both on the eastern shore and
elsewhere In the oyster sections, and II
is A believed that bill will be offered on
the line of the Jordan measure at the
coming session and vigorously pressed,
II is alleged by those who contend that
the survey should be broken, that In Ac-
comac and Northampton alone. there
are 100 900 acres Of oyster lands in the
Baylor lines, when only 5000 should be
so included.
