pow. cxcort BY tho government Itself
Aid what tho United states government
needs IS direct help from This Stale with
Whicf to supplement- tho rolls In It's pos IS
scssic1, nnd consolidate them carefully
ana put them through The press With dle
fewcst possible errors.
After what has already occurred, IT
would DO nconccivnblc folly upon t ne
part OF Virginia to neglect 10 sec That
her rolls aro as complete and as nccp,s
ate. as we can possibly make them, 70
ithis cht, tho original rolls now IN pos
session Of tho tinted States government,
along viii other captured property. must
b Supplemented BY a great deal Of mat mat
ter. which remains TO be collected IN This
state and by virginla's own efforts.
The collection Of this material is to be
tia CHEF duty or.9tho Secretary, whose hose
appointment Is Urged by Senator 2 i anicl.
Judge Christian and the Confederate
camps.
we say this will be his chief duty,
bit 1t will not DO his only duty. Much
material that wc can collect, tho govern
mcnt at Washington will not use. FOR
its needs, It demands "orlE!nalp rolls
or COPIES OF thcm-wlllci we cannot sup
NV III III, cases. But after the govern
Inent has made such ,lsn as 1t deems
proper Of our material, 1t will be return.
&C; to tho State and Virginia can mako
any further use or 1t IL deems proper.
Tho House bill, referred to, which yes
terday passed the Senate, provides for
the appointment BY tho Governor, upon
the recommendation OF. the commander
of tho Virginia Grand Camp Of Confcd-
crate Veterans, ofa secretary whose d tiu
ties shall be to proceed forthwith to coll
lect all records showing the officers and
enlisted mon furnished by Virginia to the
armies and navics Of the Confe ty,
ana the names Of all yirginians or what
ever rank In the military, marine or ma
val service of tho Confederate States;
t.whcther regulars, volunteers, militia or
reserves 8
1t Will be observed that 1T is not the
purpose OF the bill to have recorded the
names or all the militlamcn Of Virginia
during the war period, but only those e
who went into tho service Of the Con-
fcdcracy. AS We have before said, the
militia, or home guard, distinguished
themselves In front Of Petersburg when
the onen,y first appeared before that city
IN 1851 They also met and turned back
Dahlgrcn's raiders upon their approach
to Richmond, and they furnished cons
siderable portion OF tho men who were
present, along with cavalry the veterans
VIXEN Dahlgrcn was an1bushed and Kill XII
cd.
surely the names Of such milltlam!en
should be recorded and preserved!
II is proposed that the secretary OF mil
itary records shall he paid at the rate
Of $500 per annum, and That the total
expenses OF himself and his office shall
not exceed 5000 per annum. The State
librarian is required to cooperate with
him in the performance Of certain d u
ties.
we. arc gratlfied that the bill has pass PASS
cd both branches Of the General Assem-
Elf and 1t will doubtless receive the sig-
nature Of the Governor as soon as IT
reaches him.

Senator Platt has been ousted from tho

Mr.. Platt is not. and never has been,

him President by forcing his nomination

make a most strenuous fight in opposition

misstate the facts when they say it is pro-

should do this; they should take the ini-

has been made and after an exhaustive
hearing, both sides being present and rep

BRIDE IS KIN OF
PONCE DE LEON
American Soldier Wins Philippine
Relative Of Deluded Old
Spanish Navigator.

Williamsport, Pa, Dee. pa ro-
nance Of the Philippines has just been
fully disclosed in this city. The cen
trail figure is Remedies Ponce de Leon,
descendant Of the gallant old discov-
erer Of Florida, and she has come here
as the bride Of Lieutenant Enoch R.
l.. Jones of the United States signal
service. The marriage took place in
the Philippines.
Mrs. Jones is daughter Of the Phil
ippines whose ancestors went there
from Spain hundred years ago. The
Ponce de Icons are the leading family
of the island Of Cuyo. They are one
fifth native blood.
Governor Taught Her.
When the United States rule began
in the Philippines, Governor Phillips
of the island Of Cuyo took an interest
in Remedies and taught her English.
Within three months she had progressed
SO far that he placed her in charge Of
the American school he had established.
Lieutenant Jones, who had been a
resident Of Lewiston Junction, Pa, was
made telegraph inspector Of the island
of Cuyo four years ago. He went to
board with the first lieutenant Of the
island, Lemuel A. Beren, a young Amer
lican who had married one Of the Ponce
