VIRGINIA NEWS.

A meeting Of the president and directors of
the Martinsburg and Potomac railroad (which;
az we understand it will in fact lie branch OF
the Cumberland Valley roal) was held at Mar,
tinsburg on the Sth instant, at which measures
were taken to commence survey and location
OF the road Immediately. or as soon rs tho
weather would permit, from the Potomac
river to Martinsburg, and from Martinsburg to
the Frederick and Berkeley lines, and also to
the town Of Winchester" ifan extension OF
the corporate rights OF the company TO that
town can be procured from Virginia.
The Culpcper Virginia Advance says: Our
Valley exchanges speak of the great come
OUT in the wheat A month since but little
OF the sowed wheat had come up and farmers
thought the wheat crop would be failure:
Owing to the late growing weather the stand
has improved very much and gives promise Of
very lair crop. We are informed by the
farmers that the wheat crop in this section of
the country is looking very promising"
The caucus OF the Conservative members of
the Legislature unanimously nominated
George E. Strother for Suncrintendcnt Of the
Penitentiary, and Joseph NJ. Stevens tor
Storekeerer Of the same institution.
The Richmond Journal states that James
Mcdonald. Esq, the new Secretary of the
Commonwealth, is said to have selected DR..

Gen. Spinner, u. s. Treasurer, has inaugu.
rated n new system of redeeming the old issues
of ereenbacks and currency, or of leIapidatcd
notes or bonds of any description. At the VA
rious Sub Treasures and National Reposito-
rles it has been the practice to count and re-
deem all this money and then transmit it to the
Tresurer's office. Now the Sub 'FroaSur-
ers and other accounting officers receive it in
bundles, give conditional receipt for it, and
send it to WASHINGTON for examination and
count. If the package Is correct in amount,
and no c1untcrfeits, the conditional receipt is
cashcd. If the count is short and there are
connterieits in the package, the amounts are
deducted from the face of the receipt. This is
done to prevent the redemption of countcrleits
at the Sub Treasures, and to make persons cx-
decdingly careful how they count their old
money.

covered on the farm Of Colonel l.. B. Northrop,

which we pay thirteen dollars Its also said
that the vein extends to Rev. MIR. Flies place,

General Grants Administration.

The administration of General
Grant is becoming more popular
every day. 1t is governed by hon
esty, prudence and sagacity. I'm
der his rule the revenues are collect
cd, expenditures are reduced, and 3
general prosperity prevails. A cor
respondent Of the New York Trib-
une, who styles himself an old Dem
ocrat, in speaking Of the administra-
ton of President Grant, says:
ave haze had an eminently sound
administration. 1t has been healthy
in sll it's parts. There is an air Of
peace, and steadiness, and smooth
ness-s sense that necessary work
is being we'll and quietly done. We
have had peace, and we sorely need
peace. We may have felt at times
that the administration would be
more popular, and :ould enliven the
country, by accepting some of the
romantic schemes of craftsmanship
which are ever tempting enterpris-
ing statesmen. We might have had
little more rolling OF drums and
sounding of trumpets, and attendant
clamor and enthusiasm. But we had
serious work to do, and it has been
well done. The financial administra-
ton has been honest and straight
forward. The debt has been steadi-
ly paid. Interest has been reduced.
Revenues have been collected. We
hear no more of those unlawful
rings, which, in their extent, and
power, and mischief, recall some OF
the rings of the fairy tales. Taxes
have been removed, and the coun
try's burdens have not increased
Our credit gains in strength. Our
bonds are the best in the world.
Foreign capital finds interest anC
surety in our securities. In fact
this alone-this financial result o.
Gen. Grants courage and sagacity-
is one of those victories Of peace
which far surpass the bloodiest vic
| tories of war.
We have pure administration
No American need be ashamed OF
the President. The air has no sus
picion of corruption and debauchery
We have no complications with for
eign powers. We are at peace, and
no cloud darkens the national hori.
ION. We have had the diplomacy
of common sense, which, after all, is
the highest and rarest statesman
ship"

The Way to Real Prosperity.

Plant the factory by the side of
the farm give diversity to labor
and home market for agricultural
products; increase the valuelof real
estate, growing interests, and iudic-
ious improvements; stimulating in
ventive talent, and securing employ
nent to the working classes, and,
our word for it, the American people
need never complain of a grudging
or unstable prosperity. Transport
ing grain across the oce an at vast
cost and loss to tho producer, and
bringing back foreign supplies, will
never build up this country. 1t is
as cumbersome plan as prevailed
in early ages, of doing the carrying
trade of the world by camel and
dromedary trains across the deserts.
What is done at home, both profits
and benefits. The constant draining
away of the specie of the country
to pay balances, shows the effect of
the free-trade plan of buying abroad.
The earni ngs of the people should
stay with them; and the pest
way to keep the money here is to
cultivate our own home interests and
let other nations do the same. That
is the true touchstone Of Americas
prosperity, now and in future
Chicago Republican.

Chance Of French Rulers

Louis XVI. was executed in 1893,
and his son, the Dauphin, after bar
barous usage, died in 1895. Napol-
con L. had two abdications and two
exiles. His son diediin Austria, and
never attained the Imperial sceptre.
Louis XVIII, who came next, was
an exile for twenty years was re-
stored to the throne by the bayonets
of Europe was chased off it by Ma
poleon and driven into exile, but was
again but back by the military forces
of the continent. His brother, Charles
X, whose youth had been spent in
exile, was driven from the throne by
the revolution of 1880, and died far
from his native land. His successor,
Louis Philippe, whose father had
been executed in 1868, was in turn
driven from the kingdom, when an
old man, after prosperous reign of
eighteen years. His successor was
Louis Napoleon. OF all the sover-
eigns OF France since 1873, he has
had the longest reign, as President
and Emperor They thus compare
Louis XVI. eighteen years.
Napoleon |. fifteen years.
Louis XVIII. nine years.
Charles X. six years.
Louis Philippe, eighteen years.
Louis Napoleon, twenty-five yrs.

Well Put.

Senator Morton recently delivered
q powerful political address at Terre
Haute, Ind, in which he exhibited
the following splendid record of tn Q
Republican party:
1t abolished Slavery it establish
cd Universal Suffrage; it gave liber-
ty to all sections it protected the
Civil Rights of all men it defeated
Reputation, it gave Republican
Government to the South it built
the Pacific Railroad it passed the
Homestead Law; it opened new
roads into the uninhabited public do
main it secured pensions and home
steads to the Union Soldiers it has
reduced the National Debt Sl46, 000,-
600 in IL months, thus certainly Sc
curing the extinction Of the whole
debt in less than Is years it has re-
duced Taration 100000 in one bill ];
it has passed Revenue Tariff with
full incidental protection to Ameri-
can labor it has reduced the pros
pective interest on the National
Debt.
In contrast he presented the fol-
lowing truthful picture of the Demo
cratic party:
Sympathy with the Rebellion
Devotion to Slavery Hostility to
Universal suffrage Persecution of
the Freed People Opposition to
the Civil Rights Bill Favorable
to Reputation Adverse to the Re-
duction of the Debt Votes in Con-
gress against Reducing Taxation

Return Of Victor Hugo.

One of the most noteworthy
events connected with the downfall
of the Empire is the return to Paris
of Victor Hugo, after being an exile
for twenty years. After the coup
detat of December, 1851, he escaped
with great difficulty from the hands
of Louis Napoleon, and betook him.
self to Belgium, where, however he
was not permitted to remain. He
found England his safe refuge, where,
during the long years he has been
absent from France, he has added to
his reputation by the production
of some of his most powerful
works of fiction. After Louis Ma
poleon had secured his seat upon the
throne, and rendered powerless by
murder, imprisonment and Danish
ment, the leaders Of those who OPP
perssed him in his usurpations, he in
vited some of the most prominent
OF them to return to Paris among
them was Victor Hugo. To tho lat
ter's unbending patriotism be it re-
corded that he always spurned these
invitations, and adhered unchang-
ingly to his determination of never
returning to France 80 long as Ma
poleon should cit upon the throne
That day has at length come. He
returns, and is received with I'M
bounded enthusiasm by the French
people. He gives his adhesion to
the Republic in a little speech over
flowing with patriotic sentiments.-
"Citizens," he says, 81 come back
from an exile of twenty years, sim
ultaneously with the Republic. The
Republic comes to defend in Paris
the capitol Of civilization. Paris
must not be sulied by invasion. To
invade it must be to invade civiliza-
ton. No such invasion shall tri-
umph. Paris will be saved by
union of all souls, all hearts, all arms
in her defense. The defeat of Paris
means new hatreds, new resentments,
new barriers between people and
people. Paris must be victorious in
the name of fraternity, for only by
making tho fraternity of all possible,
can the liberty of all be gained"
