B N GARDEN W THE ftOKTM SAI.KU LAND CM'R. *ThoNlate Ncedn Credit"?Mr, George TV. Coo, oT Ilia AdvUory Hoard on the Annie AnbJ?ct?Cooper Not in l?. Committee to Meet on Jnlj 131b. Captain Hugh N. Garden, of the Virginia bondholders' committee, in au interview published in a Now York paper, says: "No plan has yet been formulated stating the figures on which a settlement should be reached, [ for the reason that the committee de? sires to have the conservative opinion and advice of those who have studied the question from the Virginia stand? point, the creditors' standpoint, and the disinterested standpoint, before we formulate any scheme for submis? sion to the advisory board. We hope that when our plan is finally submit? ted to the State, tho Virginia people will feel that it represents a consen? sus of opinions, based on ttie highest considerations of sound finance and public policy, and that thus the State will have to accept the plan. 1 be? lieve that Virginia will gladly accept it. "There is an excellent prospect that, the creditors will join in this plan ot adjustment with practical unanimity. The bondholders' committee an? nounced their proposal at the first of this week, and although creditors were not asked to deposit the bonds before July, large amounts of the Vir? ginia obligations have already been deposited both in London and at each of the American depositaries. We an? ticipate no opposition whatever to the proposed plan of adjustment. "The State needs credit at this mo? ment in an especial degree. Virginia is just starting on a tide of prosperity after many years of commercial and industrial stagnation. The mineral and manufacturing opportunities of the State are just being appreciated. Almost every town has its improve? ment company, with prospects of fur? naces, factories, new buildings, etc. The development of the iron and coal deposits within the last year has been phenomenal. There is, therefore, every reason to urge the State and the people of Virginia to lend assis? tance to the present attempt to settle the Virginia debt in a way that will restore the credit of the State." Mr. George S. Coe, of the advisory board, also said on the same subject: "This movement for the settlement ot the Virginia debt is an effort to bring public opinion to bear apon the State in such a way as to induce the legis? lature to accept an equitable plan, devised by men of known ability and fairness after tliey shall have consid eredalltbe conflicting interests. Both in London ami New York the belief is general that the committee will sue ceed in formulating a plan which will be accepted alike by rhe State and bondholders, thus terminating the long and costly strugg'e between the parties." Mr. James P. Cooper, the financial agent of the foreign bondholders' committee, has gone to London to at tend the meeting of the committee to be held there on July l?. Mr. Cooper is considered here a functns officio. The committee have had no dealings with him, but only with the prin? cipals for whom he has acted as agent. More than a majority of the bonds have already been deposited, and all the necessary consents to the carry? ing out of the committee's plans ob? tained. As they 6ay on the track, "He is not in it."

Mr. Trout was elected temporary chairman, and he announced that the nomination of a president was in order. Mr. Scott nominated Mr. J. R. Han thorne. Mr. Woodward nominated Mr. Buckner, and the vott- stood o to 0 in favor of Mr. Hanthoru?, who, after a brief address stating the appreciation he felt in Icing elected CO tie position am! promising to preside over their deliberations iu as tail and importial a manner as possible, took the chair.

When the roll was called every councilman answered to his name The retiring councilman were Messrs Evans, mayor, and W. K. Andrews Their successors, Messrs. W. P. Hufr and J. K. Skinker, were on hand,and did not seem as strangers in the hall so far as any backwardness to regis terakickor volunteer a suggestion was concerned when their convictions dictated. The mayor's report was quite an elaborate one, filled with sound rei ommendations, and was acted upon in sections. In the matter of assess ments he urged that great diligence should be exercised in their collection, and that this is particularly impor? tant while real estate is changin hands so rapidly, to insure clear titles to property. Referred to city solici tor. His suggestion that two extra policemen be appointed to look after the S0? or 900 untaxed dogs in the city, and to ai tend to any other police duties which may come under obser vation, was argued from various standpoints, and eventually referred to the police commissioners. That more adequate arrangements for im? pounding livo stock be provided was referred to the public property com? mittee. His sucrgestion that cellars on Salem avenue and other flat localities, which become filled with water every time it rained, be filled at expense of the owners, was objected to by Mr. Wood? ward, who argued that this was in a large degree clue to inadequate drain? age, and parties should not be sub? mitted to t he expense of digging and filling up cellars under these circum? stances. Thematter was referred to sewer committee with instructions thai eojnm'ttce HC?gest a^ remedy ABOUT THE HOTELS. Just at this t ime the hotels of Roan? oke are taxed to their utmost capac? ity.

Tennyson, one of the enumerator said : "Really I wouldn't like to esti? mate, in fact couldn't with any de gree of authenticity. Of this much, however, I feel assurtd, and that is that the population of the city ac? cording to the count won't amount to near aB much as the people antici? pate." The Grand Jury.
