his uisls are severe. After, a trip rom
New York to Memphis Tie one eyed
Arithmetic nan is again sotcly afflicted.
This time from beinga one'eycl Arith-
metic man, he gets his one.eye crossed
and we are presented with a one eyed,
cross eyed Arithmetic man. From the
misfortune of a cross eye he makes
column ard half article tower two col
INNS" Yet, it is more than likely
that after reading thai article he thought
it was two columns and half. 1t was
a hard lick, we know, but we thought
the l'irginion could bear it. We
turned his flank completely aud opera
ted in his rear.
The issue in the outset was Candy
military order ll9, and we drove the
Virginian entirely from it. Then it
started to show that the tariff in force
now is the same as the tariff in force
in 1866, and here the TirJiuioh has
again been compelled to change base.
Now, says The Firgiaidn, that is not
the issue. awe soy there is discrim
nation against us and in fdcOr of Wes'
tern and Southern shippers" As this
is the third hue of defence for the Vir-
ginidn (the others being abandonsd)
we infer that be is in the last ditch
To this third position Of the FrVintdn
we say, yes there ras u very great dis
elimination against US, and that the pet
management of the VIyinidn made
and Vim. Malone unmade it. Where
was his great Virginiaa when the peo'
pie of Southwest Virginia were being
charged 5000 for that which the Salt
Works paid only $500? VS. sax where
was the Abingdon Frg,a,an hem
Where, when goods were being shipped
frou New York TO Knoxville for 81 cts
per cwt., while the citizens of Lynch
burg paid for the same service 90
Now, then, when the present manage
ment has done away with the monopo
lies and the NrgiaiGa finds, it impossi
Bile to satisfy the citizens Of Southwes
Virginia by its ceascless attacks upoI
the present management, il undertake
to bamboozle the people aud get up
fictitious sympathy. The Abingdon Va
giaian stood by and saw tie people rob
bed of IS, 80 on every car load Of sal
that parsed adistance of nine miles owe
the road, but said nothing Now whe
we let the cat out Of the bag the Va
ginian says, Hush Bristol Neps, that
not the Sssuei We can only account TO
this silence by supposing be was wit
Patrick Henry and Jobny Hook eatinI
beef. The Kirginidn is as far behin'
n this RAILROAD question as Johny Hool
is long winded and pointless.

is it! The Ti1ghtdn is oppcscd TO dis

if you will discriminate an fduOr IF me-
won't say anything about it. RI
Jor you then! Vie shall admit noibin

We say put all men on an equality, a

The Viyginion has u great deal t.
say about those who built the roud =
We tell it that all she pecPleof Virgin
ia built tho road; that the State contrib
uted moro than three times as much u
the other stockholders, aud that it h0
no right to dis animate against one par
Of the State in order to advance Ii
other. 1t is not because the road di
eliminates but because it does dot dis

As to the delay in shipment of sal
If there be any, it is to be regretted
For in anticipation Of a heavy bushes

great increase, in the rolling stock, Il
