Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND. Va. July 16.-Gov. Mann
came back to the city today after trip
through the state In which he made sew
eral addresses.
When the matter of the senatorship
was preached the governor declared that
he would not be ready to make an an
nouncement until the end Of this month
and declined to indicate just whom he
would name to succeed Senator Daniel.
The fact is that the names Of no less
than six persons have been filed with the
governor, making what he calls list
of eligibles.'' The names which are on
file have been made by the friends of the
candidates. and the governor declined to
allow their names to be disclosed 1t can
be stated. however. that former Confed-
crate soldiers, lawyers OF more than q
statewide reputation and former state
officials are included in the list.
For Unexpired Term.
Gov. Mann will possibly make two ap-
pointments in connection with the va
cancy. The first will be for the unexpired
term of Senator Daniel. That will be to
March Of next year. If the man named
for that term shall go into the primary
and win the nomination Gov. Mann Will
at once name him for the term beginning
in December, 1872 and he will be then
elected by the general assembly for the
term for which Senator Daniel had been
nominated and elected last year. In other
words. the man elected by the general as
sembly will serve the full term by ap-
pointment and election.
In no case has any one filed his own ap-
plication with Coy. Mann, and it Is not
believed that any one will do so. The sit
uation has become clouded in the last few
days.

Experiments Made.

These varieties and several others are
being acclimated and adapted to their
new surroundings. Some Of the strains
promise WELL but it is regarded as long
and tiresome process waiting for coffee
trees to mature, because it takes six
years to get the first crop. and the first
crop is seldom representative.
There have been experiments in hy-
bridizing the strains. but this Is scarcely
considered remunerative work, because II
a particular blend is wanted 1t can usual
ly be secured by blending the beans. How
ever, there is always a chance Of striking
something particularly valuable among
seedlings. it Is conceded. and the work is
allowed to go on.
