DoINGs IN CONGRESS.

Representatives Jones, MAYNARD
and Lamb went to Wilmington DEL,
to attend the dinner given by the
Board of Trade for the purpose of
encouraging Interest in the ship canal
which it is proposed to construct
across the country between Ohesa-
peake and Delaware Bays, and thus
provide an inland WATERWAY for ves-
sells in the coastlng trade. 1t is
probable that the entire Virginia
delegation will vote for az appropria
ton for the construction of the
canal, when the matter comes up in
Congress. Representative Jones saws
the people of his section were deeply
interested in the canal project and he
hoped to see a canal constructed
across the peninsula.

OF its best men. His example had
always been for good. This he i'm

lance. He was 81 years old, and fol-
half a century had conducted the

that the bill was defeated, not on

HEATHsvILLE COURT.

Nothing but routine business
was transacted in the county court
this week, which is the last under
the old order. This people regrets
exceedingly to part with Judge Jno.
q. Eweilin his official capacity. The
new Commonwealth's Attorney, @. s.
Towles, was not present, to the great
regret of his many friends. His
absence was unavoidable. More than
a week previous he was called to
Philadelphia on business and for
several days made an effort to get
home through the ice- blockade. The
failure of steamers to leave Baltimore
melted him to take passage on a sail
vessel, and it is presumed at the
time of court that he was blockaded
in the ice in the Chesapeake bay. .
Only two important cases were on
the docket-the Kent (colored) seduc-
ton case and the case of assault and
battery by one, Bell. on Mrs. Fallin
in Lottsburg district. The latter
case has aroused much interest ia the
upper end of the county. 1t seems
that Bell was tenant of Mrs. Fallin,
and when moving out "a few days ago
ne claims to have been annoyed at
his house by Mrs. Fallin, whereupon
he drenched her with three buckets
of water. The lady swore opt a
warrant before magistrate Eichel-
berger, who fined Bell $50 and Jail
sentence. Bell took an appeal to the
Circuit court. Before Judge Wright
next month it is presumed that the
Kent case will be nolle pressed and
the Bell case gone into. Asa Rice
will assist the commonwealth and J.
w. Chinn the defence.
All the county officials had proper
ly qualified and ready to enter
upon their duties. Messrs. Booth,
Brent, Flynt. and Cralle were as
smiling as ever and seemed to feel
secure in their tenure upon the af-
fections of the people. Their depu-
ties were making ready to rush the
work OF the coming year.

THE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN
THOMAS 8. MARTIN.

We publish below a discourse,
which though somewhat facetious
has the ring of sincerely about it,
and we congratulate the Norfolk
VirginiGn-Pi that fractional feeling
has not blinded 1t as it has come
OF smaller calibre, since it generally
accords merit where merit is found.
Says the Pilot editorially:
"The big guns of the Democratic
party are beginning to shell the
brush in the hope of driving out a
suitable man to head the next Ma
tional Democratic Committee and
engineer the Democratic end of what
promises to be the fiercest political
contest of twenty years, barring the
1896 compaign.
"lnasmuch as suggestions seem to
be in order, the Virginian- Pilot takes
occasion to remark that the party
might go further and fare worse than
by the choice of Hon. Thomas
Staples Martin, Senator in Congress
from the State of Virginia. It can
make the suggestion with the better
grace, it should be explained, because,
for reasons that seemed to it suffi-
cient, it has fought Mr.. Martin in
Virginia politics. 1t suggests his
name to the National Democracy
solely because it believes that under
existing conditions there isn't a bet
ter man in sight than Mr.. Martin.
"Thomas s. Martin is an organ
izer from the ground pole up. He
doesn't splash around in the puddle
and quack, but he took to politics as
naturally as a duck takes to water.
Incidentally he took what he wanted
and did it so quietly and thoroughly
that people are still wondering how
it all happened. Alec he has had
the admirable and necessary faculty
of keeping his mouth shut at the
right time. Ii is safe to say that
the predictions of Hon. Thomas
Staples Martin would not be a matter
for mirth in the galleries, though
they would, when made, receive the
most respectful attention from the pit.
1--WE do not know whether Mr..
Martin would take the chairmanship
IL it were offered him. We have
heard 1t asserted that he would not.
But We do know that outside of Hon.
Arthur Pue German he is about the
only man in sight who would be
match for some timber the Repub.
licans have.
ave feel entirely safe in saying
that If the party should select Hon.
Thomas Staples Martin as chairman,
our friends the enemy would speedily
lind that the days for making a mon.

About 6 o'clock in the evening the
