THE RECENT OUTRAGE.

The great indignation naturally evok-
ed by such q crime as that psrpstrated
by the negro Tom Jessecks upon Miss
Dooly, In Prince Georges county, Md,
on Tuesday last, gave rise to the appre-
hension that the perpetrator would DO
dealt summarily with. This induced
the Circuit Court, then in session at
Upper Marlboro, to dispatch Sheriff
Dyer to the vicinity, with orders to take
charge Of the prisoner, and to summon
posse comitatus, If necessary, to Sc
cure his safe conduct to the Jail, but
Justice had been already satisfied, and
the coroner was engaged in holding an
inquest upon the body when the sheriff
arrived. Upon the communication Of
this fact to the court, Judge Ford adj
dressed the grand jury in the following
words: .@-
Gentlemen Of the Grand Jury-The
cour TT this morning learned of an act Of
violence committed in this county
which no law abiding citizen can look
upon with favor. In the State of Mary
land our courts are open, and law is
here supreme, and no matter how heni-
Gus the crime, this tribunal can never
sanction its punishment by violence
and mobs. The supremacy Of the Law
shall be fully vindicated whilst we have
seats upon this bench. Under your
oaths, gentlcmsn, y it becomes your duty
to investigate this matter fnlly and
fairy. tits your sworn duty to bring
these offenders to punishment,if you can
possibly ascertain who they are, and
trust you will spare no exertion in the
Investigation Of this matter.
|. The Prince Georgian says a large
number of witnesses have been sum-
moned and are now undergoing exami-
nation before that tribunal.

s@The Secretary of the Treasury
has recently received evidence Of the
source of supplies of the swindling firm
in New York who deceive people by
proposing to furnish them with 'genu-
inc imitation legal tender notes. The
matter has been referred to Solicitor
Banefeld, and if there is any authority
to suppress the swiudlers, Secretary
Boutwell, will properly exercise it. We
have recently seen several circulars
from these getters up Of counterfeit notes
offering great inducements to invest in
their legal tenders

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

Building railroads and cotton fac
tories has become a lively business in
the Southern States says the Richm ond
Wing. There is scarcely single thriv-
ing town of 5000 Inhabitants in Ala
bama and Mississippi that is NOT pres
pairing to erect mill for making coarse
cotton or ,,woolen goods. The leading
topic of interest at Coriath and Hunts
Vile at this time is the effort to raise by
subscription money enough to erect a
factory in either place, and the vigorous
sarnestness with which it is being
pressed gives assurance that it will sue
coed in each case. But railroading is
the leading mania in Alabama, Missis-
slppi, Tennessee, Arkansas and. Texas.
New roads are planned, and some Of
them being built, in each Of those
States, to place Gotten, regions within
reach of markets from which they are
now almost debarred, or that are aceessi-
bleonly by expensive carriage. Gen.
Forrest has charge of one of THESE roads
IN Alabama, and is pushing it forward
with prodigious energy !; and indeed,
many Of the most enterprising ex-Con-
Sederate officers in the South are taking
the lead in works Of internal improve.
ment and industrial undertakings. The
yich cotton crop of last year and this
affords part of the means of building
these roads and capital from the North,
encouraged by the brilliant future Of
the South, is being literally furnished
to aid the work. In five years there will
hardly be a product i've region in the
South not supplied with railroad.

MONDAY MORNING, Oct. 10, 1869.
THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.


This body meets in Richmond to-day
to finish the business of the extraordins
airy session. They have nothing now
to do but to elect two United States
Senators, which we presume will be
done to-day or tomorrow, We have
seen nothing as yet to cause US to
change our views as to who the parties
will be that are to receive the choice of
the Legislature for those two important
positions. Mr.. Franklin Stearns and
Mr.. John F. Lewis stand so prominent
ly forward that one can hardly 60 astray
in looking upon them as the men for the
positions. Some of our contemporaries
through the State have labored hard to
bring out their personal favorites for the
occasion, but the demands Of practical
bility have silenced all the din they have
been able to raise, and Stearns and
Lewis still keep command of "the situa-
tion." ....
The progressive idea has a much
stronger hold on the people than some
are disposed to concede, and the bring
ing forward Of gentlemen who have
heretofore been connected with the par
ty which has held sway in the State for
so many years back and never profted
the State by their rule, but on the con-
trary have really retarded her progress
and kept her behind other States in the
Union not half so we'll naturally bless
cd; the bringing forward Of such men
we mean to say can do no other good
than operate merely as balm to their
wounded feelings for the inevitable po-
litical shelving that is in store for them.
If this is why their friends trot them
out on all prominent occasions, we do
not know that we should begrudge them
the little amusement and qualification
arising Ihererrom. but wu havo new
era dawning on Virginia, and we have
plenty of new men to take hold and
guide its destinies. While we respect
the old men, we still insist on their
standing aside; we do not want the
machine" run on their old time sche-
dule or in their old fashioned ruts.
Theirs was the role of national politics;
the present is the role ofState policy
and material prosperity; and for its sue
eessful enactment we have plenty of
good men and true to carry it out
We believe our legislators, who are
nearly all new men, thoroughly under
stand this impulse in the Virginia peo-
pie, and will act up to it In all matters
they may be called upon to take action.
TO secure success as a. State we must
learn that the science Of government il
closely allied to the science Of success
ful business operation, that there is no
"divine right" in the matter, or other
inspiration than good, strsng, practical,
business sense to guide the ruler.
