According to our latest advices
the contest for the seat in the Uni?
ted States Pen ate from Virginia
waxes warn betweeu the support?
ers of Hons. John S. Barbour and
John W. Daniel, with the chances
in favor of the latter. The contest
is one however, without bitterness
and \\ liatever the result, will be ac?
cepted without a n'ormur by the
grent body of Virginians. Either
of them will serve the Common
wealth with the ability and integ?
rity, worthy of her palmiest days
and will do much to lift our State
out of "the slough of despoud" in?
to which a vile aud degenerate son
has plunged her. Each of them has
bared bis bosom too often to re?
ceive the blows aimed at her, to be
rcrrcant now to the trust which
in;'y be imposed on liira and noone
distrusts either of them. Each for
distinguished services to the State,
has the confidence of all our people
:.i.d naught derogatory to the other,
could be said by the supporters of
eirlier. But when a choice has to
be made between two such worthy
sons, we do no injustice to one
v> hen we hope for the success of
him. who by reason of his peculiar
obilities is so well fitted to occupy
a tvnt in the United States Senate.
For honesty of purpose and zeal in
the service of his State, Mr. Bar
bom- could have no superior. John
Daniel would be the peer of Mr,
Rnrbour in these respects and in
t he requirements of a pnbiic speak
cr, on occasions where it is of ines?
timable value to a State, Dauiel is
vsis'ly his superior. But in com?
mon with the great mass of Vir?
ginians who 'ove Barbour only a
iittle less, than they do Daniel, if
the former should be adjudged, be?
cause of greater services to the
State iu the pasr,entitled to the po
sitiou in question, the will of the
m jority will meet with our hearty
frneiimnce. Between the friends
of Barbour and Dauiel there could
lie no ung< neious rivalry or dissen?
sions arise at the success of either.

The time has come when State
Hues of property iff the "Oyster

clearly settled, and laws governing
dredging and tonging? and above

all concerned and on a basis of lib?

ily onward and upward and under
the able management of M. Glen

among the journals of State. It has
1 ecu a mighty factor in developing
The material interests of Norfolk,
and as a most worthy and powerful

done much to save the State from
ruin and degradation. Long may
it live to dogocd?to support, main

tinued profit and honor to its own?

We have urged Virginians again
and again not to pa; their taxes in
coupons, bat to pay dollar for dollar
v, hat they owe to the State, and
we feel that we cannot too urgent?
ly impress this duty on the minds
of our people. Every man who
uses these depieciated coupons
aids and abets those who are try?
ing to force upon public attention
an issue that has been happily re?
moved from polities. Is the saving
of a few dollars to be weighed
.gainst the danger of again imper?
iling good and honest government?
This is the question to be consider?
ed carefully and fairly by every pa?
triotic citizen.?State.

Chesapeake Buy Not n Pan of the
H iyh Sens.
The Court of Alabama Claims
has rendered a very important de?
cision, which may become the sub?
ject of international discussion.?
It was in the matter of the claim
for the destruction in 1882 in the
Chesapeake Bay nf the New York
Ship Allogan. The point involved
was, whether, for international
purposes, the Chesapeake Bay
was part of the "high seas" or part
ot the. inferior waters of the United
States? This point has never be?
fore been decided. Judge Draper,
of New York, who delivered the
opinion, held that the Chesapeake
Bay must be held to be wholly
within the territorial jurisdiction
and authority of the United Stales,
and no part of the "high seas,"
within the meaning of the terms as
used in section 5 of the .Act of
June 5. 1S89
