HOME INDUSTRY.

We saw at e. A. Dayton's engine ware
house, to-day, bundle Of plough-handles
from Marion, Wytho county, in this State,
the first, we believe, received from that
locality. Mr.. Dayton informs as that
there are fifteen thousand poughs made
10 Richmond, the handles to which are all
brought from the North This is a sad
commentary on our industrial develop
ment. The forests Of Virginia furnish tho
finest oak, hickory and other varieties of
valuable timber in the world, yet we are
dependent wholly upon the North for the
simplest kinds Of wooden-ware. Here is
branch of manufacture for which, all the
material exists in vast abundance in State
transcendantly gifted with water-power,
and coal to make cheap steam power.
Why is it not improved Why are not
the opportunities given to our young men
to embark in these enterprises, and thus
gain independence for themselves and add
to the wealth of the State? The truthful
answer is just tais: Because defunct poll
ticians of the dead ages, insist upon keep
ing up a prejudice against Northern men
who have the capital 10 start new enter
prises, and the knowledge and skill to teach
others. With stupidity or recklessness
unexamped in history, they strangle in
dustry and enterprise to crafty their feeble
malice against New England. They have
no mercy upon the poor, whose bread they
trample in the dust 10 sympathy for
their own children, condemned by these
ignorant and pretentious arstocrats to in
fsriority; no regard for the State for who's,
past they affect such reverence, but whose
present they degrade, and whose future
they cloud with gloom.
Let every property -holaer, every busi-
ness man, and every mechanic in our midst,
who looks for quicker sales, expanded bu-
ness, and larger wages, in short, for indus
trial expansion AMI activity, unite to throw
of. this hateful influence.
Let US welcome every enterprising aud liz
dustrious man, from whatever place he
comes, asking no question as to his nativity,
his politics, or his religion.
Let our party newspapers cease to stain
the good name of Virginia by justifying
barbarous outrages, which our people all
condemn, and which nave no place among
us.
Let us do as the great West has done,
lberaize and enlarge our institutions to
meet the new enlightenment of the age
Then "peace will flow to US like river,
and capital and enterprise like the waves
of the sea"

A writer in the Washington Chronicle
thus alludes to recent speech of Senator
Stevenson in the Senate on the bill to sup
press outrages in the South:
The debate in the Senate has brought ia
light several interesting facts relative to
the Ku-Klux organizations in Kentucky,
aud places Mr.. Stevenson, tho venerable
Senator from that State, in position not
at all enviable. 1t is even remarkable that
the Senator from that State, who has, by
bis published offer of large rewards for the
apprehension of organized mobs, by his
messages to the Kentucky Legislature, and
by his organized effort (?) through the
State militia to suppress ~ mobs--I say
it is remarkable that he should SO
manliy declare in the United States
Senate that Kentucky is free from or
ganized resistance to the laws of the State
and the laws of the United States. No
oLe knows better than Senator Stevenson
that from the time he was inaugursted
Governor of Kentucky, to fill the vacancy
created by the death of Governor Helm,
to the time he resigned the gubernatoria
chair to accept his present position, more
than one Thousand citizens of the State
over which he ruled with an efficiency so
rare that he extracted praise from the
mouths of the innocent, organized Demo-
cratic mobs, have been murdered. aud not
one person punished for these murders
More than this No one knows better
than the Senator that Kentucky courts,
and Kentucky ministerial and executive
officers, have never attempted to punish
these night-masked murderers.
The Legislature Of that State has Just
adjourned without legislating on the SUBJ
jet of ku klux ou;rages, not because 1t
did not believe in tho existence of the Ku-
Klux, for it had ample proof in murders
committed by that Democratic organiza-
ton within teu miles of the door of the
capitol Of the State during its sitting, but
because this organ,z4'ion could be used by
Democratic candidates for election to the
