I The Domestic Curl

Mr.. WooD, Of Halifax, Ia the leader now.
OF the idea of "Yrginia exclusiveness
and distr1st OF foreign capltal and CORPORA
tions. Several enthusiastic. orators nave
quite an inarmisy that way, and take de-
light in frequent airings and ventilationsl
from this Virginia swing suspended by
grape vines from black jack. The soil 1s
not rich, and produces poorly. 1H@ss 20
But MIR. WooD, as is the case with some
others, rides the hobby when it suits his
humor, and kicks it aside when 1t does not.
When the advocate of the Pennsylvania
company's scheme, be was opposed to "Vir-
einia exclusiyeness," and derided the curl.
ing orations against foreign corporations.
Now-presto, change-he is spreading the
alarm against foreign corporations In order
to put Gen. MALONE In possession of the
Richmond and Petersburg road, and he
out-Herods all the curling orators about
"yirginia exclusiveness and the terrors
of foreign corporations. We can hardly
believe that he is the same man now that
he was when the great " Bucktal war" was
raging, and suspect some miraculous per-
sonal metamorphosis, which should be In
ouired into in Halifax, or the next nearest
locality thereto. @ ri
But a remarkable popularity in the sum-
| mersault OF Mr.. WooD is that in the case OF
the Pennsylvania company, he advocated
with his usual zeal and force the prompt
admission of O northern corporation into
Virginia, and in that now pending In Inc
Legislature he inveighs against admitting
southern corporation into the State /! he
will not allow North Carohnaans TO nave
any control of their stock, which is the neA'
thing to refusing to allow them to own
stock in Virginia, as no man wants to own
property that he cannot control. Most VIZ
ginians, if they would discriminate at all be-
tween northern and southern corporations,
would give the preference to the southern
company but there is no disputing about
tastes. Mr.. WooD can exercise his.
But how can Mr. WooD, as the friend OF
the DanYille road, ask anything like equal
privileges for that corporation in North
Carolina, when he inyeighs so bitterly
against trusting the Weldon and Whining.
ton railroad of North Carolina5 The DAN
vile railroad is fearfully tethered and ham,
strung in North Carolina by the combined
| line Of the North Carolina roads and the
Seaboard road. The people represented by
Mr.. WooD are deeply interested in the re-
| lief of the Danville road from outrageous
disabilities imposed upon it in the North
State; but If their representative fortelts
all claim to such relief by denying equality
and fair.dealing to the Weldon and Will
mington railroad, we cannot see how be
/ can show himself as the friend of the Dan
vile road to seek that justice for it which
| be denies to citizens of North Carolina.
These are matters worthy of considera-
| ton. Mr.. WooD is sensible and practical
gentleman, ordinarily, and we consider the
| inconsistencies in which he is involved as
strong proof of the injustice of the cause in
which he has unfortunately embarked.

that the railroad company will at all tunes
allow to all roads connecting with II, now

Your memoriaists have the understand
ing that Mr.. VIM. 7. Walters, wealthy
citizen of Baltimore, will take the stocB
from them on their terms, and after such
contract is made. But they propose te

your attention the great benefits whlct
such an arrangement will secure to tht

BY it they will have secured to the State
a premium of nearly 100000 of State stock
thus reducing the State debt to that extent
and they will also have guaranteed to the
two cities named especially, and to the citi
zens of the State generally, the use of a rail

Missizsipni Troubles.

The tra2ic scenegin courtroom IN Mis-
sisippf onghtte make q deep impression
upon the northern public mind. This af-
fair Of course viii be set down by the TN.
scrupuipM ..ultras as q manifestation Of
Southern hatred Of Union men." But
the nature of the tragedy excludes any
such idea amongst rejecting people. ,1-.1.
Wenever before read or heard of a case of
the shooting of judge on the bench. There
have been unjust and CRUEL judges, and be-
fore such men criminals of all grades have
been tried, and their sentences have been
sometimes cruel and brutal. Yet there
was a sanctity thrown about the office that
shielded both corrupt and cruel judges
from violence, staying the arm of the most
passionate and revengeful. But here, In
this Mississippi case, a negro shoots down
Judge while discharging his duty, and
thus brings on scene of violence In the
very presence Of justice. Such an unpre-
cedented act of barbarism is enough to ap-
pal the most prejudiced enemy of Southern
people, and turn their hate into commise-
ration. ..f #g 81 .'.--- .''' -.
It may be that the more violent men IN
Congress may select this event as added
stimulus to the alleged necessity for the
passage of new bill of expressions for the
South, which even General GRANT seems to
be pressing in a manner we at one time
supposed he could not be capable of. 1t is
evident that something of the kind is deemed
necessary to keep up the sectional irritation
for Republican advantage in the next Pres
| idential election. ~ ,'..t
If Republican Congressman do pass such
measure it will, we are sure, result to
their injury rather than their advantage.
The people of the South have troubles
enough: and the attempt to bring their
very Affections in accusation against them
as justification for the imposition of further
hardships, is kind of party trickery and
INSCRIPTIONS knavery that will not be long
sustained by the country. It is too shallow
and is too we'll understood everywhere.
Peace and prosperity have risen in the public
estimation, and the question between their
maintenance and the election Of any man
by sectional agitation and disturbance, is
one very readily settled in the minds of
most of the people of the United States.

Ashland is rapidly growing. 1t is more
than twice as large as it was when the col
lege was first located here, and houses are
still going up. A company has been organ
lied to build hotel, and we are hoping to
have fine one before commencement. You
know, too, the people are anxious to get
the courthouse here, as it will be nearer
the centre Of the county than at present.
When both of them get into full operation
this will be quite considerable place,
though, perhaps, not as large as Manches-
ter would be eff Richmond were an
neXed."
As l wrote you, we are working to build
new literary halls, and we are now very
hopeful of success. Each society is dong
its best, for a liberal gentleman has
promised to give 500 in books to the one
that raises the largest amount. This new
incentive makes them stretch every nerve.
The old members and friends of the asso-
Citations cannot come to their help at more
fitting time. A small contribution from
each would, altogether, make large sum,
and help much towards filling up the sum
necessary to start the halls, and at the same
time aid in gaining the books. STUDENT.
