gentleman in this House with whom
I have !>een thrown in contact will
acknowledge that I am at least a very
? lOdcst man. but L too, have my
' rale of woe" which 1 desire to lay
b -fore this body: In accordance with
the modesty which 1 claim for myself,
1 have introduced only one bill in the
Congress of'the Foiled States; and
that a bill for a public building in
the city of Roanoke, in Southwest
Virginia, a city which, in the last ten
year.-, has reached a population of
over 20,000 inhabitants, a city
that pays annually over $23,000
Of postal revenues to the gov?
ernment, yet it is without a public
building, and the government isrent
ing a little office so small that when,
on one occasion, I called for uy mail,
hearing Foine confusion, the post
master informed me?and you will see
that lam not a large man?that the
room was so small only one man could
come in at a time. [Laughter.] Vet
this great city, that 1 believe in the
next ten years will have a population
Of 60,000 souls, is not to have a public
building: j Laughter.]
"Mr. Chairman, I have noticed that
gentlemen*here like to allude now
and then to the length of time they
have been in Congress, and I have no
doubt, sir, that if I am permitted to
remain here until 1 getthat Koanoke
bill through, I too, will be able t?
point to quite a long period of service
in this House. (Laughter.) Although
1 am a new member lu re, I am not
wholly without political experience.
I served eight years 411 the Senate of
Virginia and never spoke half "Rn hour
during that tim<\ and I could Jtave
been there still, but my people, ap;,/?.
dating my silence and bard work as a
member of that body, sent me to the
Congress of the United States by
4,000 majority. (Laughter.) .Now,
sir. the gentleman from Maine has

a word of objection to my Roanoke
bill. Hi'was very pleasant about if.

?"There has been allusion made here
to political matters, "he continued,"
in connection with these hills, and
while this discussion has been going
on, I happened to cast my eye upon
the list and I saw there two hills re?
ported for buildings in places in Vir?

world, they were both for Republican
[districts. [Greatlaughter.] Idonot
I charge anything upon anybody in con?

the politest as well as the most modest
of men, hut 1 do say that it is a very

those bills should be for Republican

Fourth, is Demoeratic now. but in a

Mar-hall's Cafe, and .yesterday he
played a number of games, showing
renrirkable'skill. lie is a slim, lithe
young fellow with a curling blonde
mustache, and travels for a linn in
the Quaker City. There are but few
men on the road who can make Ryan
pay for a game, and he has made
several professionals feel ashamed of
themselves. A couple of months ago
he played a series of games here with
Koche, the Virginia champion, but
lost.
Mr. M. Summerfleld, of Danville,
was in town yesterday grasping the
hands of the many friends he has
made on his many visits here. Mr.
Summerfleld has a bushy black heard
and saw service running the blockade
during the late unpleasantness. He
is enthusiastic regarding the furure of
Koanoke and the whole .Southwest
section ami has shown his confidence
in it by making investments. He has
large interests at Big Stone Gap and
expects in tin* near future to see
tilings humming there.

Speaking of the Massachusetts
newspapermen, is a reminder that E.
Gerry Brown, of Boston, arrived in
the city ycterday, and is located at
t te Hotel !'? anoke. Mr. Brown is a tall
man ]w< an spectacles and abig heard,
and was one of the first party ol press

the opportunities offered by the
great Southwest section, that he deter?
mined to investigate further, and the
result is his present visit. He is ac

This was the gist of a number of
conversation- held in Koanoke yester?
day between citizens and census enu?

The latter"*are not particularly in

There are thirty questions to be

Brooks for shooting at: a colored man
named Walter Allen, on Railroad ave?
nue Saturday. The case was sent on
to the grand jury and the witnesses
recognized to appear at the July
term. One of the Commonwealth's
witnesses, Henry Coleman, when
placed on the stand and saw the pris
oner looking so dismal, with a face
that looked as if it hadn't smiled since
McKinney was elected governor, evi?
dently felt that it Was his duty to help
Lawyer Olliver in the defence. The
attorney was albe to look after his

and began to pour hot shot

in;e, t-toppirig every little while
to mop the perspiration from his
classic brow. He kept up his har?

This was spoken to George Harris,
