THE PRYOR AND POTTER DFFIoULTY.-A due
between Mr.. Pryor, of Virginia, and Mr.. Potter,
of Wisconsin, was on foot at Washington last
week. On Wednesday, Mr.. Pryor called atten-
ton in the House of Representatives, to the re-
port of the proceedings in the I4ovejoy difficulty,
which occurred few days before He charged
that Mr.. Potter had interpolated matter in the
report. Mr.. Pryor in his alteration with Love
joy, said sHe shall not come here gesticulating
in a menacing and rufhanly manner" and the
report represented Mr.. Potter as saying: .you
are doing the same thing Mr.. Pryor alleged
that these words were not spoken-Mr. Potter
affirmed that they were, and that he stood by
them. q 9s-ss assaa 50 ss.8
Pryor challenged Potter, and the latter,
through his friend COL Lauder, accepted and
chose bowie knives. Mr.. Chisman, Mr.. Pryor's
friend, objected to the weapon as unusual and
barbarons. Lauder offered to take the place Of
his principal and fight on any terms, but this
was also declined, Mr.. Pryor having no quarrel
with him. Washington correspondents, who
keep catalogue of congressional scenes" label

sion Mr.. Potter was arrested at Washington,

The HAY Crop.

The Richmond Examiner states that 1895
bales of Northern hay were brought to that city,
from the 1st of January to the LIST of April, this
year, against 5, 450 bales during the same period
in 1859. 1t has been boosted by the press of the
North, says the Examiner, that the value OF their
hay crop nearly appropriated to that of our
great staple, cotton-that We could no more do
without it than the New England mill owners
could do without our cotton. The above state
ment does not sustain this idea. 1t goes to show,
on the other hand, that Virginia can produce
her own hay whenever she finds it to her inter
est to do so. We have very little doubt that
Augusta county could supply the State. Our
farmers have not given much attention to this
crop till recently, because the local demand was
limited and the means of transportation abroad
were wanting. Since the Central Railroad has
made provision for conveying hay to market, it
has become more important crop in this region,
and the supply viii hereafter only be limited by
the demand abroad. Comparatively little hay
is required for home consumption, as it is not
uncommon here for stock to run out the whole
winter, and do we'll, without provender of any
kind, except what they find in the fields

state and Corporation Tndebtedness,

There seems to be tendency throughout the
country, on the part of State and town authori-
ties, to the contraction of large public debts
BECAUSE money can be borrowed on time, all sorts
of improvements, real and imaginary, are CON-
menced and carried on with reckless prodigality.
The consequences of such course are, sooner
or later, most injurious to every community
where it is pursued. Taxes are necessarily
increased the value of real estate is deprecated,
and population is driven away or excluded
Economy, and caution in contracting debts, are
essential to the promotion of individual wealth
end prosperity, and they are equally necessary
in the management of public affairs
The Lexington (Ky.j Observer publishes a
letter from gentleman of high standing in Iowa,
which gives gloomy picture of matters in that
State. The writer had just sold lands for which
he paid $40. in 1857, at 81 per acre! He says
mo man living out of this State can have any
thing like correct idea of the utter hopeless
ness of the state of things in Iowa. Speculation
has been the ruin of the State. The river towns
are SO fat that they never can get up again un-
| til there is change Of population. Towns
| themselves are SO hopelessly in debt that they
can never get start again unless by paying of
Indebtedness by reputation. This place, which
contained a population in 1857 Of 10, 600, is now
reduced to less than 10000, and people leaving
just as fast as they can get money to get away
upon.n So it will be everywhere undsr the
same circumstances

Merchants and Distillers

Under the law passed at the late session. Of
the Legislature, all merchants applying for Ii
cense at the next term of the County Court, will
be required to answer, on oath, the following
interrogatories to the Commissioner of the Rev
enue: ta
1s:. What where your gross sales of all goods,
wares and merchandise of every description
lother than ardent spirits) within the year end
ing this day
End. What amount of goods thus sold were
imported by you from foreign countries, not in
bond, but directly into Virginia.
3rd. What amount of such sales were of goods
manufactured or produced in Virginia by you
4th. What was the amount of your gross sales
of wine, ardent spirits and mixtures thereof,
within the preceding year, ending this dayG
The law in reference to dstilers is SO changed
as to require all to obtain license who disti1
fruit or grain not of their own production, how
ever short q time they may be SO engaged. It
does not require the owner of a distillery to OBJ
tain license for distilling fruit or grain pro-
duced by himself, unless such distillery is kept
in operation for more than four months in any
one year; but if it is suspended within the pc
riod of four months, it shall not be resumed in
the same year without llcense

Admission of Kan SaS.

A bill for the admission of Kansas into the
Union, under the Wyandotte Constitution, passed
the House of Representatives, on Wednesday,
by vote of 1874 to rs. 1t was warmly opposed
by Southern members on various grounds
Messrs. Maynard and Quarles, of Tennessee, OBJ
iected to it because Kansas has not the popula
ton required for representative in the House
because the Constitution permits unnaturalized
foreigners to vote, and because Indian lands are
included in the boundaries of the proposed State
Messrs Smith and Garnett, of Virginia, opposed
it mainly on the ground that the people of Kan
sas, in presenting themselves for admission, had
not complied with the law.
The vote was nearly sectional one. Only
three members from the slave States-Barrett
of Missouri, Etheridge, of Tennessee, and Web.
ster, of Maryland for the bill and only
three from the free States-English, of Indiana
Sickles, of New York, and Scott, of California
voted against it,

Baptist General Association i.

We call attention to the card in another col
umn with reference to the meeting of the above
body. We commend the appeal of the commit
tee to the kind consideration of our citizens
though it is hardly necessary for us to do so
since the proverbial hospitality of Stauntor
gives ample guaranty that the town will moi
prove wanting upon this occasion. We are in
formed that the delegation will be large, ani
that the Association has never before met wes
of the Blue Ridge, nor in a town where The
Baptist membership was SO small, though it has
been amply entertained in Charlottesville ani
other towns of less size than this. These are
facts which will only serve to stimulate oul
citizens to use their best efforts for the accom-
mediation of our Baptist visitors.

~ A correspondent of the Vindicator, wri
ting from Washington on the 31st of March,
mentions the passage, by the House Of Repre-
sentatives, of bill for the relief Of the heirs OF
the late Gen. Robert Porterfeld, Of this county,
and his brother, Col. Charles Porterfeld-both
soldiers of the Revolution. The writer gives
great credit to our representative, Mr.. Harris
for the zeal and tact he displayed in carrying the
bill through. Col. Porterfeld was the young
officer, who, in 1775, left his native county Of
Jefferson, in Virginia, with a company of men
for the defence of Massachusetts,, which was SC
eloquently described by Mr.. Boteler some
months ago. He fell during the war, in South
Carolina. The bill has since passed the Senate
and grants about 5000 acres of public land to
the representatives of Col Porterfeld.
