One of the most i | portant measures to be considercl by the body is Mr. Nicol’s bill author'zing the state banks of issue, The message proviles for the organization of state banks of etr- culation, said circulation to be secured by a deposit of state bonds with the treasurer of the state of Virginia. Of course the act cannot take effect untti Congress shal have repealed the tax on state banks. ‘The bill provides in detail for the organt- | zation and conduct of state banks, and the circulation {s so well guarded and protected that it is believed that it will answer two purposes: First, a local circulating medium and supplement tq the present currency, | and, second, provide a market for Virginia | state bonds, enhance their value and cause the interest to be paid and kept within the | state instead of going, as at present, to parties outside the state. The Oyster Question. Another most important subject to be considered by the legislature before ad- journment in March is the oyster question. The governor's message was devoted largely to this subject, which the proper \ committee is acting upon with a view of | securing some wholesome legislation. It is believed that an attempt will be made to secure a uniform rental of the oyster beds at the rate of $1 an acre, without discrimi- nation against parties residing outside the wit ‘the governor's, recommendations are adopted, which is quite likely, the oyster in- dustry will be placed under the control of a special commission, with a shellfish com- missioner at its head, whose headquarters are to be somewhere in the tidewater dis- “"Keretofore all matters concerning the oyster question have been referred to the | board of Chesapeake and its tributaries. | That body consists of the governor, the auditor of public accounts and the state treasurer. All of these officials are kept busy with their other duties, and they have found it very difficult to give the necessary time to this subject. It is therefore probable | that that board will be abolished and its authority conferred on the special commis- sion if created. If the governor's recom- mendation for the indiscriminate rental of the oyster lands is embraced in the pro- {posed oyster bill {t will meet with strong opposition from the tide-water representa- | tives. The governor proposes to give the people of Virginia a given time within which to take up these oyster lands. If at the expiration of that time there are any remaining unoccupied these shall be thrown open to all who may desire them. Reducing the Criminal Expenses. Another subject which {s a proiitic source of discussion at each session of the general assembly is the subject of reducing the \crimiral expenses of the state, which are claimed by many to be far in excess of | actual requirements. The court of appeals | about two years ago decided that under the jexisting law each accused could insist in criminal cases upon his right to be tried by a jury. This decision, of course, greatly added to the expenses to be incurred by criminal proceedings. It is now proposed by the criminal reformers, as they are called, to in some way change the law so as to admit of the trial ofeminor criminal ef- ‘enses in other ways than by juries, and at | the same time avoid violating the constitu- | tion of the state. | Dinfranchtsing the Negro. | Hariy In the session Mr. Stubbs of Glou- cester introduced a resolution in the senate | providing for submitting to the qualified voters of the state at the November elec- tion in 18%5 the question of assembling aj constitutional convention. This is in the line of the agitation of a subject considered in Virginia politics for some years past.

Pamphlet edition, 10c, Address Dr. WILL- |dueing to such a convention shall be called, one of the most important propositions that would be submitted to it would be the changing of that part of the constitution in regard to suffrage. Probably an educational quaiitica- tion would be suggested, such as now exists in Mississippi. The uit of this would practically be to disfranchise the negroes. The proposition is by no means a new one. far back as li. C. Parsons ad- ‘ated some such provision being inserted in the constitution. The object of the re- publicans then in wishing to disfranchise the negroes, a race that solidly supported their party, was that they thought,by elimi- nating the negro from politics, the whites would then vote on economic and financial issues instead of as one race against anoth- er. However, should the democrats insert any such clause in the constitution of Vir- sinia, their object would be to insure the supremacy of the white race in this state. Ansiralinn Ballet Proposed. It is believed that the assembly will con- sider the proposition of modifying the elec- tion laws of the state.

Pleasant greetings which filled the room where the Association of Oldest Inhabitants meet with the cheerful hum of life and ac- tivity was the feature of the meeting of that organization today. As the name in- dicates, the members are those who have, as a rule, advanced some distance in the path- way of life, but when ihey come together on holiday occasions they bring the spirit of the day with them. It is evident that they have an abundance of enthusiasm and they are not ashamed of it. They en- joy living and like to be happy themselves, and make others happy. They exchange New Year greetings in no half hearted way, and if the president, Mr. John Mar- bury, jr., was not as jovial and cheerful as the other members of the association he would no doubt consi the propriety of appolating a sergeant-at-arms to reduce the meeting to the staid level which is called in some bodies parliamentary order. But the president manages to say all he wants to say and there are lulls in the tide of talk and laughter, which makes it pos- sible for everybody to have a chance to say what is cn their minds ani so if the most perfect order is not preserved it makes no matter. Everybody is happy and busi- ness goes oa. It must not be inferred that the meetings are disorderly, for such an imputation wold bev. unj to the substantial citizens who constitute the membership of this rssociation. simply carry on the meetings in their own way and ace-mplish the nurpose of coming together and enjoy each other's society 18 well. can the President. On the first day of the year, in accora- ance with a custom that has prevailed for a good many years, the Oldest Proceed in a body to the White House and pay their respects to the President. They have a place in the official program, and it is probable that those who prepare this list would as soon think of leaving out the dip- lomatie corps as the Association of the Oldest Inhabitants. It is the rule to meet in their rooms in the Corcoran building. and, after holding a business session, th members are formed in line and the march is made to the White House. The attend- ance of members at the meeting this morn- ing was unusually large, no doubt due in part to the pleasant weather. The presi- dent, Mr. Marbury, was in his place and Was surrounded by the officers—Mr. Robert Ball, whe handles the funds of the associa- tion; Mr. J. M. Cutts, who keeps the record of the proceedings of the meetings; Mr. J. A. Wineberger, who is the marshal. end J. 'T. Howard, who writes the official letters. The president always has a pleasant greet- ing at these holiday meetings and in his cheerful vein he says a good word for the year that is closed and bespeaks for the members a happy experience for the new year. His little speech today was in_ his characteristic style and was listened to with evident satisfaction by the members, who heartily indorsed his words by ap- plause. New members were elected as fol- lows: Chris Dickson, Edgar H. Bates. During the year the as- sociation lost by death the following mem- bers: Aquilla R. Allen, Robert S. Wharton, Henry Lyles and Henry Ruppert. The treasurer's report showed that the financies of the association were in a flourishing con- dition, as there are no debts and there Is in the treasury some $520, besides the prop- erty in the way of furniture, &c. Washington's Birthday. ‘The birthday of the first President of the United States is always celebrated by the association, and a com nittee, consisting of Messrs. Eichorn, Ragan and Prather, was appointed to make the necessary arrange- ments. The friendly relations that exist between the association and the veteran firemen was manifested in part by the rec- ognition given to Mr. Richards, whose pres- ence was announced by one of the members. He would have been elected an honorary member on the spot had it not been dis- covered that he was already a member. The association adjourned in time to form @ procession, under the direction of the marshal, Mr. Wineberger, and then pro- ceeded to the White House. Among those in attendance at thé meeting were C.

Just now amateur oarsmen are speculat ing on the result of the next meeting of the executive committee of the National Asso- ciation of Amateur Oarsmen. This meeting is to be held at New York on January, 12. It promises to be one of the most import. ant gatherings ever held by the followers of the sport.

Db. Standish of Detroit, O. P. Schinid of Washington, and H. K. Hinch: man of Philadelphia, have prepared a num- ber of important amendments to tne regat- ta rules.

A junior oarsman is one who has never won a race. A junior coxswain is one who has never steered in a winning race. An intermediate sculler is one who has | never won au intermediate or senior race. An intermediate oarsman is one who has never won an intermediate or senior race. an intermediate coxswain is one who has never steered a winning intermediate or a winning senwr crew. ‘The most interesting thing to be done at this meeting, however, is the selection of a place for the uext ammual regatta of the rul- ing body.
