CATION Of local Republican politicians
With this example before the properly
holders and the intelligence of Virginia,
ought they hesitate to use their position in
the coming election in Virginia ? Here the
questions that come up are not of any ordi-
binary political kind, but tower in the way
of importance, and eliminate in the problem
as to whether our property is to be confsca-
ted in the way Of taxation by an irrresponsi-
BILE class, and whether our rights of trial by
jury arc to be anything else than q solemn
mockery. ~ %" IT,

WHITE Sulphur SPRINGS, W. Va, May
20.-A company Of intelligent and cnterpri-
sing gentlemen, principally from New York
and Pennsylvania, engaged in examining
the mineral resources Of Virginia and West
Virginia, have just reached this place on
their way to the rich coal and iron fields Of
the Great Kanawha. Among them are the
Hon Hester Clymer, Of Reading, Pa, /,
Mr. Firnistone, the extensive iron manufac-
turer, of Easton, DR. Woodhouse, Dir. Free
man, and Jacob Hyland, Esq, Of Philadel-
phia, Elisha Riggs, Thomas Bond, A. B.
Clark, Esqs,, and Col Thomas L. Bourn,
of New York.
By an agreement among themselves be-
fore leaving home these gentlemen, with 9TH
ers of their party, determined to explore in
leisurely way the mineral products and ia
cilltics Of the great central route from Rich
mond to the Ohio river.
Commencing their Virginia tour at Rich
mond, they have leisurely prosecuted their
travel to this place, portion of the party
spending several days in examining the va
rious interesting iron placers in the counties
Of Botetourt and Allegheny. They will
now prosecute their trip further west in a
cereful survey Of the immense coal fields Of
Kanawha and the deposits of iron ores which
are said to exist in convenient proximity
thereto.

In the election to be held on the 9th OIL
July very important item is the selecting
of good men as members of the Legislature
Should the expurgated Constitution be adopt
ed an important duty will devolve on the
Legislature. With it will remain the last
hope Of a once Free People.
The XVIII Amendment will come before
that body for ratification, and should be de-
feated. Many desire its ratification that
they may enjoy the sweet morsel ofrevenge.
Negro suffrage was forced upon us in our
adversely by the exultant North and now
they desire to see it forced on the North and
by the oppressed South. There is some sat
isfaction in the thought only. Itwould fas-
ten it irrevocably on the whole Country.
The North cares little but for the principle,
having comparatively few negroes, but the
South would be affected by it for all time
We have never regarded colored suffrage,
as at present forced upon us, as a fixture
We look for a time and not very distant,
when the rights of the States will be religi-
ously defended as the mainstay of Republi-
can Institutions. Gin 'act the Republic must
cease if this be great while denied In
that event the old order of things will re-
turn, if we do not fix universal suffrage on
ourselves. Let us then vote for such Leg
islators only as declare their determination
to labor and vote against the ratification of
the XVIII Amendment. Ifthat be defeated
in the Legislature, we remain just where we
are and the odious county organization will
fail just there This is second chance to
defeat the "cxpurgated Constitution" which
should be borne in mind. Put no man in
the Legislature who favors the ratification
of the XVIII Amendment.

is said to do away with engine, derrick,

to accomplish the work rapidly to any depth
required, by the motive power Of one horse
attached to sweep, There is a well now
going down by the new process, at a CON
tract price Of $l,25 per foot. Such an in

development everywhere, as under the pre-
