We have heard that some, who have been

We have heard that some, who have been
spoken to in reference to subscription for
the completion of the Covington and & Ohio
Railroad, at once reply that taxation is so
high at present that they can not agree to-
make it higher by voting subscription to
the completion Of that railroad. We res
pectfully submit that they have not reasoned
correctly on the subject. In the first place
the interest for several years would have to
be paid on the amount subscribed, but then
the stock to, which they subscribe, is a pre-
ferred stock with an interest of s per cent.
guaranteed, which would thereafter pay the
interest without resorting to taxation.
When the whole road is completed, the
stock will be better than any railroad stock
in the country and will readily command a
premium, and doubtless large one, and
nothing surely can be lost in that transac-
ton. The ultimate advantages, however
are greater By the completion of this road
the rapid development of our great mineral
region will follow, source of immense
wealth to the State, while, as we increase
the facilities of communication and transpor-
tation, our lands must appreciate in value
RAPIDLY. But say some " we do not desire to
sell our lands, and their appreciation in
value will not advantage us, but will rather
be detriment, as we must pay more taxes
on them than we do now" Of course as
you grow more wealthy you must pay more
taxes, whether your wealth comes from the
increased value of your lands, or from any
other source, but we opine that the man who
would object to receiving present OF
H1O0 900, or farm of l 900 acres, because
he would have to pay more taxes than he
does at present, would be considered, by the
very men who make the objection spoken of
above, as a fit subject for an Institution To-
Gated near this place. What we work for is
to advantage our posterity- We desire to
leave our heirs as much as possible with
which to begin and run the race Of life
Whether we leave them few dollars kept
back from the taxgatherer and farm worth
only nominal price, and for whichssthere is
no demand, or leave them possessions Of
value, which viii command almost any price
in reason, on account of the facilities OF ac-
cess and for the transportation OF their pro-
ductions, is q question for each one, but
which we think will be generally answered
by willingness to risk a great deal to in
crease the value of what we possess. In all
probability this question will shortly be pre-
scented to the people along the line of the
Central and Covington and Ohio Railroads.
How they will answer it remains to be seen,
but if they fail to cast their votes for the COM
pletion of this road we think they will have
let slip golden opportunity to advantage
themselves and posterity greatly, and at a
small cost, and will thus retard the pro-
gress of the cold Dominion to an immeas-
urable extent.

A TRIBUTE TO VIRGINIA.-The New Or
leans Commercial" ON the 18th, thus
speaks of the action of this Commonwealth
in providing for her debt:
ssVirginia convenes her public creditors,
exchanges her stocks in public works for her
bonds, cancels her loans by one department
of State finances to another, and having re-
duced her public debt by this process nearly
fifty per cent, announces that she is prepar-
ed to resume the payment ofinterest with an
estimated balance in the treasury over and
above her annual expenses. Has there been
such a spectacle of good faith exhibited in
history? There is true loyalty-loyalty to
obligations -voluntry compliance with en-
gagements which might have been suspend
ed or denied

THE PHENIx SLATE COMPANY

Have established, at Marquis Kelley's Shop in
Stanton, an agency for the sale of States and
for the reception of orders for roofing and other
purposes for which states are used.
1t will be seen from the specimens of their States,
at Messrs. Marquis h Keley's, that in quality and
appearance their FOOTING States cannot be excell-
ed by any quarres in the country. Experienced
and reliable Skaters will be sent TO execute any
roofing that may be ordered. The advantages Of
Slate Roofs overany other material consist in the
greater durability, comparative exemption from
fire, saving reinsurance charges at an outlay far
short Of the difference in the cost of the different
roofngs.
All work promptly executed and srarranted in
all cases.
For prices and specimens apply to our agents,

We do not expect any such thing, and
the testimony Of Surratt, under the cir

doubt BY candid people.
We have no doubt that the plan of
killing Lincoln, Seward and others, was
proposed to the Confederate Government
at Richmond, that it was there approved,

Davis, or others there, were cognizant of

1t is common saying that Religion

simply false. 1t would be just as wise
to say that the atmosphere has nothing
to do with the principles of architecture.
Some kinds Of stoneare so friable, that
though they viii last for centuries in a
dry climate, they will crumble away in a

Of doors, windows, apartments, oil de-
pend upon the air that is to be admitted
or excluded. Nay, it is for the very sake
of procuring a habitable atmosphere
within certain limits, that architecture
exists at all.
The atmospheric laws are distinct
from the laws of architecture; but there
is not an architectural question into
which atmospheric considerations do not
enter as important conditions of the
question.
That which air is to architecture, reli-
gion is to politics. 1t is the vital air of
every question. Directly, it determines
nothing; indirectly, it conditions every
problem that can arise.
