and number of jackasses harnessed to the
rear car, emblematic of the States refusing
to ratify, and vainly trying to pull the trair

VIRGINIA RAILROADS AND VIRGINIA
PROSPECTS. Ts.-The coal field on the West

Monongahela to the Big Sandy Rivers, Is oy
far the largest, the richest, and is destined
to become the most valuable in the world.
In Europe nearly all the coal deposits he Tar

the water level. Deep shafts are sunk at
immense cost, to reach them the mines are
then ventilated and drained as they are being

leys, the coal crops out Of the hillsides In

iGahle waters of the James River to the rlv-
er navigation of the Mississippi Valley, the
greater part of which is already in operation,
crosses both the iron and the coal fields, and
unites them to the seaboard on the one hand
and the Great West on the other. Nearly
1000 men are employed upon this. great
work, and it will not be many months before
the cars will travel continuously from Mem
phs, St. Louis or Chicago, to and from these
great iron and coal deposits, ard if need be,
on to the navigation of the Atlantic at
Richmond These natural advantages, to-
gether with the encouraging rush of inimi,
grafton now finding its way to Virginia and
West Virginia, will give to those States a
vast wealth and industry. The completion
of the G. and o. r. K. itself will set free
wonderful amount of latent power, and is to
rank as one of the most important works of
Improvement now in progress. The loan of

in our columns, by the well known Banking

The Maryland Republicans are preparing
for a stirring campaign this Summer and
Fall, and they express themselves confident
of being able to redeem the State. A late
canvass of the State shows $4,000 black vo-
ters, and about 35. 900 white Republican vo-
ters. The Democrats cannot poll over TO-
600 votes, which will make the State close,
with the chances in favor of the Republicans.

Oa.hes-Oathcs-O athcs The Virginians
are likely to become the greatest Awearers
on the globe. There are SO many oaths
required Of our officials before they en-
ter on the duties Of their office, that ii
has become necessary for the Governor to
call the attention OF the Legislature TO the
subject, and to inYit. at their hands u de-
caratory act defining particularly how
much the officers OF the governor IN must
swear ID.
We have had an immense deal Of swear
ing to do all through the Reconstruction
business, and the legislation on the subject
has projected thia policy into our future ad-
,pinistration. There we're a number of
oaths required under the old laws of Viz
ginia, and what. with those prescribed in
addition by the new constitution and the
acts under which the State was admitted
to the Union, we have effcctually de,nol-
lshed the Scriptural injunction Swear not
at all. 1t is not settled as we have said
precisely, what oaths we shall take, a. the
Governor seems to think that some of the
old oaths are merged in the new ones.
But IN his judgner, The laws require
that every officer qualifying should at
least sw.er: l. That ha is a citizen of the
Commonwealth Q That he has not been

he will support and mau,ain the cons,isu~

constitution aud laws of the State 5
That he recognizes and accepts the civil
and political equality Of all men before the
law; = That he will faithfully perform
the duties Of his office; Z. That ne has
never taken an oath as a member of Con-
gr'ss or as an officer of the the United
