"Fellow citizens of \ Irginla : While I thank
you most sincerely for jour kind reception ,
nnd reconnUe In Its heartiness the hospitality
for which the people of Virginia always have
been distinguished. I am itilly aware that
vourwelcomols tendered not loan Individual ,
but to the Incumbent of the olllcc which
ciowns the government of the United

of presidents , seven of whore
sons have tilled that liUli olllcc ,
to-day ureet.s thti inesldent , who , for the litst
time , meets Virginians upon Vliginla's soil.
I congratulate unbelt that inv first Introdnc-
tloii to the people of Virginia occurs at a
tlnui when tln v are suirounded by exhibits
of the productiveness and prospeilty of their
itile. . Whatever there may bo of honor In
her history , nud liowevcr much pride there
may bo In her traditions , her hue greatness
Is hero exemplified. In our sister
hood of status the leading nnd most
commanding pl.iro must bo gained and kept
hv the commonwealth which by labor and
Intelligence of her citizens can produce
most of these things which meet the neeosi-
ties and deslivs of mancind. But the full
advantage of that \\hlch maybe yielded to
the slate by toil and tlie Ingenuity of lier people
ple Is not mea uied alone by the money value
of the product * . The ctforts and etrugulos
of her fnrmeis nud artisans not only
create values hi the Held of agriculture nnd
in arts and manufactures , but they at the
s.ime time produce nii-ged , self-reliant and
Independent men , cultivates that product
which , more than all others enobles the state
patiiotlo. variiyst American cltl/on-
fillip. This will llourisli in every
pait of the American domain ; neither
drouth nor rain can Injure It , for it
takes root In tiuo hearts enriched by love of
country. There are no new varieties-Ill tills
production ; It must be the .same wherever
seen and Its quality Is neither sowed or ma
tured unless it crows to deck ni-d beautify
the entire region , and to support unit sus
tain the Institutions nnd goveinmont founded
to protect American liberty and happiness.
Tlio present administration of the govern-
nient is pledged to return for Mich imv.
bandry not only promises , but actuaLtendcrs
of fairness and justice , with equal protection
nnd full participation In national achieve
ments' If Intheuastwu have been estranged ,
nnd the cultivation of American citizenship
has been Interrupted , your enthusiastic wel
come of to-day demonstrates that there is an
end to estrangement aim that the time of
suspicion and fear Is succeeded by an era of
faith nnd confidence. In such kindly atmos
phere nnd beneath such cheering skies , I
greet the people of Virginia as co-laborers in
the tield wheretrows the love of our united

Condition of Honduras.
Now York Graphic : In referrinii to
the industries of Honduras a lew clays
njo { the Observer called attention to the
fact that with proper cultivation the
country could bo made ono of the most
productive of the Central American
states. The only reason why its progress
has been so slow is to be found in the
character of its inhabitants. According
to a recent authority society is scandal
ously demoralized , and drunkenness ,
debauchery and "amblinc prevail with
out restraint or limit. Money is plenty ,
comparatively speaking , and easily ob
tained , and as in tlio mining camps of
California in 1840 and 1850. it is used to
gratify the lowest vices. Tliero is no ef
fort whatever to save. The
largo amount of money which is
constantly bclnt ; distributed along ti !
coast in exchanges for fruit would make
any civilized ami temperate cbmiminitv
prosperous and happy , savs Consul
IJiirchard , of Truxillo. Hut in tlio place
of tlio neat houses and handsome public
works that ono mightc.xpect to see onij

with leaves and plastered with mud ,
with dirt lloorn and no windows , meet. '
the eye. Men go barefooted and dirty ,
ragged and profane , tlioir sickly and
bloated looks telling of bail living nnd
dissipation. Women whoso loud dross ,
flashy ornaments and goncral demeanor

cided that no land grant road should be con

OUIl OANAlTlAN COLONY.
Kornmllon or the United Stolen In
voluntary K\ilc CnpltnlUtH1 Club ,
The New York Sun. In Its Montreal
letter , prints the following account of an
Interesting meeting ot American capitalists
said to have been held in tlmt city , the
outcome of which Is repotted to have been
the partial organlyattoii of the " United
States Involuntary KMlo Capitalists' Club. "
U Isdithcult to ascertain what was doncatthe
meeting. Thu Knights of Laboi could not
be moio chary In giving infoim.itlon to thu
press. Indefinite leports , however , indicate
that the capitalists had an Inharmonious
time. If these reports me correct , John
Keenan called the meeting to order and
nominated John C. Hue for piesident
Mr. Nathan M. Xeeld , late of Chicago , op
posed the nomination on the irround of Mr.
Kno's lack or moral ehai.icter. Mr. NVeld
said that they had among them n gentleman
who occupies a piomlnent position In iclig-
lous ciicies , and whose Christian example
and pious le.ilgnatlon ointlit to endear him to
the exiled capitalists fiom tlio west. If not to
those Inteiested in New Vork street rail
roads. Influenced solely by a sense of the
duty that he owed to socletv , Mr. Nceld pro
posed the name of Mr. Geoi.c Bartholomew ,
laid of Hartford , tor piesldi'iit.
Tills brought tlie Hon. William Moloney
to his tcct. Ho said that Mr. Kno could pro
duce a certificate of diameter , signed by an
eminent divine , and be insisted that the
hoait of the icllgious element of the country
beat as strongly for Knoas for Bartholomew.
Mr. Stewart , late ot liiookljn , and four
other Sunday school oflieials spoke In favor
of Mr. li.irtlilomew. Mi. Haitholomew was
then elected bv a vote of eUht to seven ,
much to the chagrin of the Xew York capi
talists , who called it thotuumphof hypocrisy
ovei honesty.
AlterOiigiatulatlng the e present upon
the compliment piid to tlie belter element of
society bv lib I'lcction , Mr IJaitlioIemew ie-
fened feelingly 10 the moral attributes of the
New Voile delegation. He c impared them
unfavorably vvitn the o of New York exiles
of the Tweed eia. "My experience , " said he ,
"convinces me that while honesty is un
doubtedly the best policy , it Is not safe to
trust thosftshoso honostyIs governed by the
aloneFor - " cotitin'-
dictate of policy alone- - yraw ,
uedMr. Uartholomew , "i have btootl on the
decayinj plaiiUs of the old S.iybrook plat-
foi m , governed bv a mistaken but honest
sense of policy. Now that 1 have advanced
to a piatfoim moro in consonance with the
spititot tills religious age , I tiust that my
seu.se of moial rectitude will ever be con
trolled bv nn unmlstnkuu and politic sense
of honesty. "
Mr. Bartholomew again thanked his hear
ers for the honor paid him. On motion of
lion. Charles Uempsey the association
adopted the name ot the "United States In
voluntary Exile Capitalists club" . Thu chair
then appointed the following committees :
On Morals Sayles , Stevvait and IJaitholo-
uicvv.
On Finance Molonov. Eno nnd Keenan.
On Extradition Xeeld , Moloney and Man-
delbaum.
On Sunday Excursions Jones , late of New-
Jersey , UeLacy and Demp.sey.
At this point Mr. Keenan said that no club
could get along without a treasurer. He
proposed the name of Mr. Eno , whose fin
ancial abillt ) had been demonstrated in a
New Yoik hank and whoso character as to
Integrity was well known. Mr. Stewart ,
late of Brooklyn , favored the claims 01 Mr.
Xeeld , late of Chicago. Ha said tlmt while
Mr. Nceld's financial operations w ere not so
stupendous and successful as those of Mr.
Euo , they were marked by far more brll-
"liancy aud honesty of pmpose. A greater
brain for business was requited in Chicago
titan In Now York.
To this Mr. Maloney promptly objected.
A ballot was takciii The result was a tic.
There was much excitement. Tlio New Yoik
delegation held a conference , and a lizht was
imminent. Five minutes'afterward tlie Jer
sey delegate proposed the name of Mr. Molo-
noy as a wmproml.se candidate lor treasurer.
Mother Mauuelbauin strenuously opposed It
This precipitated the threatened row. and
the convention broke up In a free liirht nil
around. In which Mr. Daitliolomovv's gold 10-
neatcr disappeared. Whether it went to the
Chicago or New York delegation Is still nn
undetei mined question. Mr. liaitholotnevv
will pioDably avail himself of the services ot

deacons of his chinch , and as such was
