DIDN'T WANT ANY MoRE.-The
editor Of the Democrat went into the
Auditors Office one day last week,
after our paper was out, and called
for the Minute-bO0k Of the Board of
Supervisors, desiring to look up Mr..
Bousquets record little for himself.
In little while he came to page $40
Of the Minutc-book for 1869 being
the record for the 9th day Of the
session for that year--and there he
found Ql:0ther Resolution requiring
Mr.. Bousquet to report fees received.
This was too much for the Captain.
He didn't want any more OF the
record--and he slammed the book
together, and left the office without
looking further. And IL is especially
noticeable how he fights shy Of the
record In his paper Of this week. 1t
IL too much for him or any other
man to defend.

DREADrNG THE FUTURE.-There
are one or two articles in the Demo
crat of this week which remind Us
forcibly of that "fearful looking for
Of judgment and fiery indignation"
spoken Of In Heb. 10, q. The vera
cious editor therein pretends to re-
portconversations between the editor
of this paper and some persons whom
it calls "Heister," obi" and Others.
The conversations it reports never
occurred. Moreover We have never
yet said or limited one word in this
paper about Mr.. Bousquet's having
loose women in the Court House at
night, nor about his gambling or
drinking, nor anything Of the kind,
in any way whatever, notwithstand-
ing all the talk there has been about
these matters here in town. All that
we have said about him in this paper
has been about his official record
entirely, and we have shown from
that alone, without word as to
anything else, that he is not a fit man
for the Office. Why, then, should
the Democrat thus bring up this
other subject, for the first time In
print, unless with the desire Of de-
Tending its patron in advance against
something which 1t is awfully afraid
is coming? Is 1t not a "fearful look
ing for Of Judgment" There is an
old proverb in some Of the Spelling
Books, to the effect that "The thief
doth fear each bush an officer"

Shenandoah Valley Railroad.


This road is-now. attracting thc-s at
tention of Rock bridge county. and will no
doubt meet with liberal encouragement in
that section. This large and productive 4
county is completely Isolated from railroad
communication and is ready TO support the
first enterprise of the kind that gives guarantee
of success. The last number of the Licking
ton Gazette gives the following:-
This enterprise commends itself to the poo
ule of Rockbridge, and should receive from
us all the encouragement and assistance that
we eau give. The "Valey Railroad" is by
no means to be despaired of yet. We think
the apprehension that it will fail is altogether
premature 1t is now at the crisis of its fate.
Every effort is being made before the people
Of Baltimore and the Maryland Legislature to
ensure success, and so far nothing has hap
oened to destroy our hopes. The matter will
be decided at any rate in the course of the
next month, and we can afford to wait with
out taking any action as county until then
But in the meantime it is proper that we
should encourage all other lines of railroad
which are likely to pass through the county,
and after the VALLEY" road, none appeals to
our self interest so strongly as this ''Shenan-
doah Valley" road. 1t will pass through the
whole length of the county and will afford us
an outlet to our own as well as to'the Northern
markets. Ii Baltimore aud the Baltimore
road should fail to subscribe the means neces-
sary to complete the Valley road we think
the best thing the county of Rockbridgs could
do would be to transfer its subscription to tho
"Shenandoah Valley" because it will more
fully satisfy the wants of our people than any
other now proposed. But evenifwe get the Val.
ley road, we should encourage the othertoo, for
it will give US a rival line. which will greatly
benefit US by reducing freights &c. Compe
tition is good thing in railroads as in all
other business.
From communication to the last Warren
Sentinel We make the following extract:-
The extention of the Cumberland Valley
Railroad is now regarded conceded fact, and
we have reasons to believe that, in very
short time the question between the two COIN
pcting routes will be decided one way or the
other. In few days charter will be OBJ
tanned through West Virginia, and everything
be in readiness to take the sense of the people
of Jefferson as to subscription. Warren
adopted the Charlestown extention and holds
herself in readiness to adopt the action of JEFF
ferson and Clarke in voting a county appro-
priation. Steps for that purpose were taken
at our last county court, and met with almost
unanimous endorsement in which our next
county court are petitioned to appoint day
for voting an appropriation by the county in
connection with the adoption of the Charles
town extension.

Through Tickets Around the World.

We learn that one of the leading Eastern
railways has an arrangement nearly completed
to issue through tickets by rail and steamer
around the world. 1t is believed the whole
thing can be completed by the LIST Of February.
The tickets are to be good until used, giving
travellers an opportunity to make excursions in
Japan, China and the Holy Land, or where
ever tourists may he disposed to leave the main
line of travel. Tho arrangements are now
complete and prices fixed from New York as
far east as Alexandria, in Egypt, and Yoko-
hama and Shanghai An agent is now on his
way to arrange an English steam ship line be-
tween China and the head Of the Red Sea and
the railway TO Alexandra. AS soon as this
is done, it will be announced in New York by
telegraph, and the tickets will be ready for
delivery A table of distances with time be-
tween important points, &c, is to- be printed
upon them, and a synopsis of all information
that will be essential to the traveller The
whole trip can be made inside Of ninety days.
and the entire cost will be about seven hun
bred and fifty dollars in gold. We are not
informed whether this sum illinclude state>
room and meals upon steamers, and berths on
Pullman's Palace Car line, from New York to
San Francisco, but we presume it will for it
is intended to combine the highest possible
speed and comfort for the traveller. The
scheme is important in its magnitude and prob
able results upon the commerce and the civili-
cation of the world. but it is now certain that a
few weeks, at most. will see it fully realized
The cost Of the entire trip around the world
will be from thousand to twelve hundred
dollars in COIN Chicago Tribune.
