The West Virginia Central Railroad
company has about completed arrange
ments for building the road from the
from the Pennsylvania line through the
heart of West Virginia to Charleston,
the future capital, thence to the Ken
lucky line at the mouth of Big Sandy.
The sale of historic spot in Virginia
is announced. The old "Temrle Farm"

wallis surrendered his forces. and signed
the articles of capitulation, has just been
sold at auction. 1t contains from four to
five hundred acres, and is said to be one
of the best cultivated farms in that Sec
ton of the State. 1t brought $8,005.

they are called, and their operations this
season have been very damaging to the
trucking interests hereabouts. Peas
ruled low, potatoes and tomatoes were
frequently not worth shipping, and 9TH
err articles were damaged in the same
way.
The subject is one worthy of the es-
pecial consideration of our citizens and
those interested in raising early produce,
and the object of this article is merely
to call the peoples attention to it. The
truck farms surrounding our city are a
source of great wealth to our people, and
unless some means are devised to keep
the people who work them from being
swindled out of their labor, they of
course will cease to be source of reve-
nue. to us. We have no suggestions to
make public aS a remedy against the
evil, though wo think it can be easily
remedied if our people will take action
on the matter. Possibly the Norfolk
Pathological Society should start the
ball.

MR.. BOUTWELL,.

In contradiction of the statements
heretofore published respecting Mr..
Bou twelps ultra course, special tele-
gram of the 10th from Washington to
the New York Evening Post has the
following
There is reason for believing that Mr..
Boutwell's position in regard to the
Virginia election has been misstated in
the public press.
To his personal friends he has not
expressed any intention Of opposing the
admission of Virginia to representation
in the next Congress, but, on the contra
ry, holds that as the election was fairly
conducted, and in accordance with
the reconstruction acts of Congress, no
just cause exists for longer refusing the
State voice in the national councils.
The ratification of the fifteenth
amendment is insured by the result of
the election just held, and as the danger
of allowing ex>rebels political rights
which existed when the reconstruction
laws were framed-has passed away, it
would be simply an act of consistency
on the part Of the Republicans to accept
and abide by this result.
The New York Times trusts that
this statement is correct, and remarks:
1t is difficult to understand how any
Republican, having no sinister end to
serve, can object to result which Sc
cures the reconstruction of Virginia; and
with proper management may secure it
to the Administration and the Republic
can party. The election was fairly
conducted we have General Canby's
testimony on that point. 1t was in
strict accordance with the Reconstruct
ton acts, and accomplishes the only
object those acts were intended to
promote. What more should be de-
sired ?
We assume, of course, that the Leg
islature will ratify the Fifteenth Amend
ment, and give faithful effect to those
provisions of the Constitution which
are dependent on the legislative action.
Governor Walkers declarations are con-
elusive as to his position and purposes,
in regard to which the Republican party
and the country will hold him to strict
accountability. With Governor and
Legislature elected on a platform es-
sentially Republican, and with Con-
stitution ratified to which the most rad
ical Republican cannot object, there
ought to be no hesitaney or doubt OF
the part of the Government in perfectine
the work. We are quite prepared tc
believe that Mr.. Boutwell, is more dis.
posed to help than hinder it's consum.
nation.

OUR TRUCKING INTERESTS.

We published in these columns on the
goth inst, an article from the N. York
Sun, about a swindle on the part of sew
eral commission merchants in that city,
on persons who send them country pro-
duce from the South.
The article was of special importance
to the people of this section at this time,
as bearing somewhat on the small re-
turns our truckers are receiving for their
produce. The swindling concern spo
ken of was detected in the very act Of
having sold the produce of Mr.. Robert
G. Lowry, of Florida, at So so abarrel,
and made returns of only ST. so a bar
rel, on which they exacted their usual
commission.
The prices of trucks have ruled so
low this season as to determine many of
our producers to abandon the raising of
them hereafter; and these low prices
have mystihed many OF our people. The
quantity raised is considered no great
deal beyond what is ordinarily aised,
Notwithstanding much stuff comes from
further South; but the prices Of much of
the stuff forwarded has been literally
nothing, in many instances bringing the
producer in debt.
Now it is thought by the most intel
ligent producers, that this state of af-
fairs has been brought about by the
swindling operations of rings, and 9TH
er combinations in the cities Of Baltimore
Philadelphia and New York, These
rings it is believed, watch the receipts
at each port daily, and govern their OPP
erations accordingly. These rings are
formed among the middle men, as

Reg" The Herald says The ultra
radicals go for the continued disfran =
chisement of Southern rebel whites, tne
copperheads for the continued disfran-
chisement of Northern blacks, and
radicals and copperheads are roundly
rating each other for their inconsis-
tsncies on the suffrage question. 1t is
the old story Of the kettle calling the
pot black. The women's rights women
cover the whole ground. They 60 for
universal suffrage, to men and women,
white, red, yellow and black, and for
equal rights all round, and SO they are
far ahead of both our radical and cop
perhead halfway politicians, and ahead
even of the Walker party of Virginia.

g-We repeat again and again.

HeE- We repeat again and again, to
our people, do not let the papers which
opposed the election of the Walker
ticket cast a gloom over your spirits, by
their course in searching out "wet
blankets" to abstract the cause of
Walker and reconstruction. They did
all they could, to defeat the cause, and
now that it has proved successful their
modification can only find vent in
heaping up distractions and throwing
in doubts. We say to you, emphati-
cally, Gall is Well" Possess your
souls in patience, and rejoice that you
have escaped the evil intended for you
by your foes, and in some instances
aided and assisted on by those who
should have been your friends but
proved themselves recreant.

WILLIAMSON AND TAR
BOROUGH ROAD.

The different contractors upon this
Road are pushing their work rapidly
forward.
There are now two hundred hands
actively employed, who have, at va
rious points along the line, fully graded
about ten miles. Between this point
and Bethel are employed one hundred,
and grading is finished three miles from
Marlborough.
Mr.. II. D. Robason, at Jacksonville,
has about thirty, who have finished
two miles, and force of fifty at Will
liamston has pushed the work more
than five miles from that place.
A much larger force will probably
soon be put upon the Road, and work
will be then going on at every point OF
the line.--Southerner.

University, Baltimore, and DR.. J. G.
Wise, also Of Virginia, has been elected
to an adjunct prefessorship in the same

Havana, July 22.-Manzanillo mer-
chants have been arrested for dealing
| with rebels.
The loyal Cubans of Santa Espiritu
have issued an address urging their
rebel brethren to return to their allie
glance.
The insurgents, eight hundred strong,
have been defeated, with heavy loss.
General Jordan was wounded.
The army officers lately on duty in
Virginia in connection with the regis,
tration of voters have been ordered to
Mississippi for assignment for like
duty there. There are in all nineteen
of these officers, and the fact of their
having been ordered South at this time
would look as though registration was
to be commenced very shortly.
The New York Journal of Commerce
says: ga subscriber in Norfolk asks
us if we think that Virginia State bonds
will be improved by the recent con-
sentative victory in that State. We
have no doubt of it, if there is no se-
risus attempt to evade or set aside the
result by the manipulations of external
authority"
Spain is in sad condition, Judging
from latest advices. Excitement pre-
walls throughout the whole country.
The people are in fear of another revo-
luton, The army is disaffected and
several officers have been arrested for
disloyalty. A fight between the gov
eminent troops and the insurgents oc-
Cured at Ciudad Real on Tuesday. A
foul plot to assassinate SerraHo, Prim

Large quantities of wheat are daily
arriving at Richmond via the Ricbmo nd
and Danyille railroad. One day last
week forty-three carloads were brought
in on another, thirty seven and on
Saturday night, in addition to the regu-
lar freight, special train, through from
Salem, was brought in loaded with this
cereal.
The Democratic State Convention at
Des Moines, Iowa, last week, denounced
the Maine liquor law, a high protective
tariff, and so on, but laid a resolution
against the fifteenth amendment upon
the table.
1t is creditable to the Republicans of
Virginia, that whilst Walkers majority
is only about $4,000, the majorities ag-
ainst the DISTINGUISHING and test oath
clauses are each about 10000,
In the British House of Lords on Tues

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

The people Of the United States are
particularly anxious TO know what
part the American bishops will take In
the Ecumenical Council. SO far as the
affairs of the Catholic Church are con-
cerned in their relations to the United
States there can be no change. 1t is not,
perhaps, generally known that our
form of government was elaborated
from that of the Swiss Republic, while
the general outlines of the latter were
the grand ideas of St. Thomas Ac-
quinus, the most profound of the theo-
logians of the Catholic Church. The
idea of religious liberation in the Colo
NAL times was first practically observed
by tho Maryland colonists, and their
representatives urged its Incorporation
in the framing of the constitution.
Again, it is we'll understood that under
our form of government a hierarchy is
incompatible with the interests of the
Catholic Church in this country, so that
it will always remain as now, composed
of provinces subdivided into dioceses,
presided over by archbishops and
bishops. What may be determined
upon respecting ecclesiastical discipline
will scarcely reach the clergy in the
United States.
On the other hand the influence of
the American bishops will undoubtedly
be felt, particularly as the prelates of
the Catholic Church in England will
unite with them in presenting their
views Of political and social economy;
and their relations to the growth of
Christian civilization in every part of
the world.

We find the following neat para
graph in the Baltimore Gazette
"Who routed the Virginia Radicals is
an interesting question much agitated
at present in that State. The Rich
mond Wing blushingly acknowledges
and modestly quotes from several pri-
vate letters attributing the success Of
the Walker ticket, sin great measure,
if not entirely" to that paper. A COR
respondent of the Richmond Dispatch
invokes the public generally to render
homage to Capt. W. E. Cameron, of
the Petersburg Index" as the planner
of the whole thing. The Native Vir-
ginian Orange CONTINUOUSLY issues a
sort of proclamation giving the honor
and glory of the victory to General
Malone. The Governor elect claims to
have done the thing himself in six
weeks, and doesn't say anything
about any other man-except inciden-
tally--when he speaks of the policy of
General Grant as being "the bridge
that carried him safely over" Raleigh
T. Daniel insists upon it that Grant is
the man that did it. Grant evidently
believes that he is the man that did it.
If we were permitted to express an
opinion we would reply in the we'll
known answer to the query "who
struck Billy Patterson 2" and say that
| whoever dealt the blow it was "a
blamed hard lick, that's all"
We find the above article in the
Lynohburg News, of the 22d, copied
from the Baltimore Gazette. We
presume the News can scarcely plead
ignorance of "Who did it," as that pa
per, together with the Norfolk Vir-
ginian, put it on record in their own
columns that the Norfolk Day Book
"did it," at a time when the "New
| Movement" was not quite SO popular as
| it is at present. 1t is known generally
that we originated the "New Move
ment" and claimed its authorship re-
peatedly when the measure was any
thing but popular; and it 10 somewhat
singular that the memory of some peo-
pie should become oblivious so suddenly
since the success of the measure. There
Is no one named in the above para
graph but what did their utmost for
the success of the measure--after they
became converted to its feasibility; and
we do not believe there is single one
of them named that will lay claim
to its origination. Whatever
credit or discredit there is in its
authorship belongs to our humble
selves. We know it was "a blansd
hard lick, and we told our readers often
aud over as much, when w were
preaching up the doctrine. Some
believed us and joined their efforts with
ours for its success, others would not,
and did all they could to defeat it;
among the latter we might mention
the Lynchburg News and the Norfolk
Virginian particularly.
We happen to have it on record that
the Day Book originated the "New
Movement" and the record is vouched
for by the News and Virginian, and
would say to all would be claimants,
gentlemen, if you have any evidence
bring it into court, if not, let the pro-
perty be restored to its rightful owner,
the Day Book, without further dis
pute.

stands, in which the tax on incomes is
to be collected. The amendment passed
in 1867 to the 10Th section of the law
reads thus "1hat the taxes on in

on the first day of March, and be due
and payable on or before the thirtieth
day of April, in each year, until and
