The Loyal Leagues.

Uuler the caption of Lessons of the Re-
cent Elections" we took occasion in our last
issue to advise our people to adopt policy
Of generous forbearance towards the blacks Of
our county-to overlook their hostile action
at the November election and to let bye-gopes
be bye-gones. We then said nothing that we
now wish to qualify Or take GA ths
contrary, deeper and wider reflection has
but tended to confirm the business and wis
dom of our original counsels. 1t is only per-
sistent prescription that should be prescribed
1t is only oath-bound Leagues, drawing
their inspiration from secret midnight con-
claves in Washington and other places and
waging war against men because they have
been once slaves and are now land owners,
that we would denounce and outlaw. We
are only for prescribing proscriptinn-only
for exposing, denouncing and affecting Sc
cret, malignant and dangerous organization,
engineered by selfish outsiders and by sins-
ter insiders-and not for waring upon mere
differences of opinion. Let black men make
themselves familiar with this distinction and
disrupt their fellowship with the Leagues, if
they really desire to continue in neighborly
communion with their old friends. It is in
the very nature of things that marked dis
tinction should soon be made by the capital
list and the land owner between tie man,
black or white, who runs with the League
and the man who knows it not, or knowing
it, has washed his hands of it, Apart from
the revelations that have been made in regard
to the League by truthful and reliable men,
of both colors, who have been formerly con-
nected with it, are not the acknowledged facts,
that it is political association, that its DELHI
erations are covered up by the night of secre-
cy, that its written communications are car
ried on in cypher, that it has secret pass
words, that it's members make themselves
known to each other by grips and converse
by signs, and that they vote without open in-
quiry and in solid column, sufficient to con-
denim it as dishonest of aim and un- American
in character? Let US have peace and let all
the recent election scores be spunged out and
forgotten. This is our motto, but it is a mot
to that we neither adopt ourselves nor expect
our friends to adopt without slight qualifi-
cation. The loyal League connection must
be given up. This is an imperative condi-
ton precedent. Nor is it an unreasonable re-
quirement. Our people and the League I'm
derstand one another and are bitter enemies,
nor is there the slightest prospect of their
ever being otherwise. Those, therefore, who
are for the League are against US and rice
versa. Choose ye between us-S. Mary's
Beacon.

Letter from Commodore M. r. hIaury or
Immigration to Virginia. - aEt

Letter from Commodore nj. r. Maury on
Immigration to Virginia. - - 2
CommodoreM. F. Maury has just issued an
interesting circular to the farmers Of Virginia
setting forth the wonderful undeveloped re-
sources of the State and the advantages of
immigration. To encourage immigration he
proposes the following plan: -
/ have already indicated concert of action
and joint contribution. Let me ILLUSTRATED
Suppose the farmers in one of the counties
should club together and aim to get two hun
dred well-to-do immigrants, with their fami-
lies-say 1000 souls in ALTO come from a.
broad and settle among them. Suppose that
they were to offer forty acres of land on long
credit-say seven years, without interest-on
condition that the new corners would settle on
it and'improve it.
Let US calculate the profit and loss: In the
FIRST place, the wealth of the county would be
increased 81 100000 by the presence of these
1000 new corners, and the old residents woHld
have to pay taxes on one million of dollars
less than they now do; and this, including
county. State, Federal, school and other taxes,
count up to not little sum, as you well
know.
In the next place, the new conner would
pay the taxes on your 40 acres, and relieve
you of burdens to that extent.
Again, these l 200 new corners would spend
In your county in money-or in services the
equivalent of money-something like $780,
900 the first year, and smaller sums annually
for several years, until they could get their
farms fairly under way, and themselves sufi-
GENTLY provided to become producers ; and
of these expenditures the landowner would
get the lions share. a 5
Finally, the new corners, by their presence,
their labor and their improvement, would
greatly enhance the value of real estate. It
is by no means an over estimate to assume
that by the time the first payment fell due,
after this long credit, the value of your own
lands would be increased to the extent of sew
eral dollars an acre.
Indeed, if the plan. were adopted by the
landowners of the State generally and sue
cessfuly carried out, you would soon see real
estate in Virginia changing hands in figures
at which it is now held in Delaware, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey. 1t would not be
unreasonable for any of US here to expect to
sec that day. Each Of the ninety-nine coun-
ties of the State introducing during the next
seven years, 200 families from abroad, averag-
ing Eve souls each. Why, in round numbers,
that would be the introduction of 100000 new
citizens into the State, and an addition of
s 100, 100000 to its wealth. These people,
paying their own passage, would come from
the Old Country to Virginia direct; thus
placing at your doors, at their own expense,
empty ships ready to carry your produce back
at low rates of freight, and so you would have
the boon of direct trade which You have COW
eted SO eagerly and so long. a..-

Fort Washington.

1t is stated that the stone and brick work
at Fort Washington, is to be removed, and
the defenses to be constructed solely of earth,
as the experience of late wars has demonstrate
ed the great superiority of the latter as a

The War In Europe.

The military situation in France is more
clearly explained by the dispatches Of yester'
day. The battle at Beaume, twenty-five
miles northeast of Orleans, on Monday, ap.
pears to have been an effort of the French
Army of the Loire to break through the Ger.
man lines between it at Paris. The attack
was concentrated on the Tenth Prussian Corps
which was quickly reinforced, and after q
ard-fought battle the French were repulsed
and badly defeated, according to the account
from the headquarters of King William al
Versailles. One thousand Frenchmen were
left dead on the field, and the victors were in
pursuit of the flying army. On Tuesday the
garrison of Paris attempted sortie from the
Capital on the south side, under cover of the
fire of Forts D'Ivry, Bicetre, Montrouge, Van
'res and D'Issy. They attacked the besieg-
ers at La Hay, between Mount Valerien and
DIvry, but were repulsed and driven back
into the Notifications with heavy loss.
accounts indicate that the movement for1
relief of Paris by sortie from the city anu a
simultaneous .northward movement of the
Loire, was attempted on Monday, and disas-
trously failed. 1t was rumored in Loudou
on Wednesday that Paris had surrendered.
but there is nothing in our dispatches to con-
firm the report King William telegraphs
that the Prince Frederick Charles reports a
complete defeat of the Army Of the Loire on

Self-Operating
Clothes Washer and Boiler
PATENT RIGHT SECURED.
The Best Labor-Saving Clothes Cleaner
ever invented.
Thomas Greene, sole Proprietor of the
Patent Right for the Pacific Coast.

There are but few inventions or discoveries
which produce Il complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed, year ago,
that tho dirtiest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty or thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have been regarded as an indication Of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt, that this process not only cleans the clothes
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such surposition has no
foundation in fact. and is contradicted by the ex-
perience of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing.
Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
its operations. 1t must be seen to be fully appre-
ciated, as its full merits cannot be properly set
forth in ordinary advertisement
Public and private tests have been given Of this
apparatus for the last six months, and more than II
million of people have witness ed its success Ten
Thousand boilers sold in New York City in less
than five L Onths, from stand, and at this time
the orders reach about hundred a day. Ne
used it as directed that did no. recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by more than five
thousand persons in less than six months. Among
the are those Of the mos; distinguished cit
izons of the United States but the best rccommen-
dation is to take the boiler and it yourself Do
just you directed and you will be more than
satisfied 1t appeals to us all as matter of econ
omy, aud can be shown to be the best kind Of an
investment. 1t will rctNrn yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT. on the
money invested. For instance, we will suppose
your white clothing such as he'd and table linen
ladies aud gentiemens' wear, and childrcns' cloth
ing. only cost you $40 year. They will last twice
long washe in this way as by the Old method.
Thus, you a~tually save $50 year by investing 10
OF zee per cent. annually. There is no family
scarcely but spends Fsau here stated but this
is taken a very low average of this branch Of
family expense Added to this is the great con-
venience and comfort of the thir~. which, all taken
together. makes it luxury which no family can
well afford to be without.
This Boiler sells the best of any article ever ofer
cd TO tho public. Anybody after trying it fairly
will not let it go ont Of of the house.
