sessed Value.

We take the above from the Richmond
State Journal We were somewhat surpris-
ed to find in the Journal so unjust and erro-
neous conclusion from the figures given,
and so glaringly mistaken idea Of the
cause of the depreciation of values in the
Southern States The Journal, for parti-
ian paper, we have heretofore regarded as
remarkably candid and addicted to drawing
its conclusions from what it regarded as logi
cal premises To assume that "rebel violence
has been the cause Of the financial condition
of the South is SO far from reason and fact.
as to leave us at loss to find a BETTING
term, within the rules of courtesy, to demon
mate it, The evidence" has been Matched
and nourished in the Radical nest. A large
portion of the assessed personal property of
the Southern States, in 1860, was destroyed
by Radical evidence" and by reason thereof
the value of real property, was proportionate
iy deprecated. Radical evidence" forced
upon the Southern States governments of its

ed, ignorant and unpriucipled negroes and
Adventures, who robbed the people, swindled
the treasures, outraged Individual rights
and paralyzed all industries Radical 'vio-
lence' conceived the enforcement BILL the
design of which is to further work ruin and
destruction to the property and rights of the
Southern States. It is Radical violence
that is now seeking to goad the ong-suffer-
ing and outraged people of the State to some
show of resistance, that an excuse may be
given for another turn Of the screw. It is
Radical evidence" that is striking, with
fendish glee at the very vitals of the mate
rial interests Of the South, and yet the jour-
nal has the effrontcry to lay the responsible
ty at the door of "rebel Violence" when
no such thing exists.

The Tandicator feels compelled TO say that
it does not believe Mayor Trout should have
offered reward for the apprehension and
conviction of the lynchers Of Hodges. on the
ground that it was an offence against the
county. Was it not an offence against the
corporation, also ? Is there any ordinance
or e. actment Of any kind upon the records
of the corporation which would justify, ex-
cuse Or palliate the action Of mob in COM
ing within the limits Of the jurisdiction of
the Mayor to commit an unlawful act ? Was
it not an offence against the peace and good
order Of the city, as well as the county !?
Was it not violent transgression Of the
laws of the State, and is not the Mayor
bound, by his oath of Office, to uphold, de-
fend and enforce those laws to the best Of
his ability? Our neighbor has queer idea
of the enforcement of law and the preserva-
ton of the order and peace Of community to
compel him to attack the action Of the May
or in offering the reward he did. 1t was not
only his duty, but it seems to US it is the du-
ty Of the county authorities to likewise offer
a reward. We might as well resolve our
selves into barbarism at once, if the laws Of
the State are to be considered mere ropes Of
sand, without binding force, and to be disre-
girded and tranpled upon by unautho lied

IS. CoMMIssIoNER.-Jud Judge Rlyes has
rendered to Judge David Fultz, of this place
the position of u S. Commissioner for this
u S. Judicial District. It is matter of
great Importance to our people that we should
have well-informed, clear headed, firm and
impartial man to ell this office. The duties
and powers incident to and belonging to this
position are delicate, responsible and embrace
a wide range Of authority. Judge Fultz is
amply qualified for the discharge Of these
various duties, and will bring to his aid a
large experience as one OF our leading law
ycrs. We have not been informed whether
he will qualify, but if he does, it will not be
for the emoluments arising from the office:
for these, legitimately, are meagre. 1t Will
be with a view to protecting the people from
unauthorized arrests and unjust prosecu.t. ons
1t is notorious fact that in other districts OF
this and other States, rings" are formed for
the purpose Of squeezing money out of inno-
cent parties and thus making the position
enc Of enormous profits. We hope Judge
f. will deem it consistent with his other du-
ties, to accept the place, and by that means
give the people the assurance Of efficiency
aud impartialty in the administration of the
office.

PROCLAMA

lawless and deplorable act was perpetrated by
persons unknown to the Civil authorities in our
vicinity on Monday night last, by the forcible TAX
ing of charged with felony from the Conn
ty Jail and hanging him to death, without his,
having been convicted by the law of the land
or the judgment of his peers.'' 1, therefore. in
the name of the Commonwealth, call upon all
public officers and law abiding citizens to aid in
bringing to trial and legal punishment, the per.
sons who were engaged in said offence against
the majesty of thelaw and The peace and good
order of society.
A reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS is
offered for the apprehension and conviction of the
perpetrators Of this lawless deed

SHOE Factory IN Win
chester seems to be turning her attention to
manufactures. In addition to the extensive
paper mill now about going into operation,
the initiatory steps have been taken to estab-
lish Boot and Shoe Factory on large scale.
This is practical, common sense. We must
look to the enlarged operations in the me-
chanic arts to bring out the Valley and
the State. We have the material advantages,
and it is short-sightedness In our business
men and capitalists, not to turn their atten-
ton to this department Of enterprise. Prop
erty holders, mechanics, and every other class
of citizens would be greatly benefited, if our
own people would comprehend the lmpor-
lance of making Staunton manufacturing
town. Population would increase, money
would become more plenty, and the general
interest Of the community be subserved by
having factories Of every description in ope-
ration here. One enterprise inaugurated,
would induce others to commence, and few
years would find us the most prosperous peo-

DREL.-Last week, a man representing him
self as Col. Emmett, an agent for colonl-
cation society Of Canada, drove into Liber-
ty In a top-buggy drawn by two fine gray
horses. He called on several gentlemen,
principally those Of ourcitizens originally
from the North, our friend Mr.. Clark, be-
ing one of the number torwhom he paid
his respects. He protested to be DESTROYS
of obtaining all the information attainable
relative to lands in the county, average pri-
ces, &C., for that which was improved. He
cal ed on Mr.. r.. N. Kelsoe, on Fancy farm,
asking permission to stop with him fer a.
few days, &C., but Mr.. Kelsoe, having
suspicious aroused, declined to take him
in Mr.. G.. A. Nichols informs us that he
represented to several that he had bought
Mr.. Kelsoe's magnificent farm at the foot
Of the Peaks of Otter, containing about
l,lo0 acres, and that he paid ,p37 per. acre
for it. From here he drove out, to Mr..
Anderson Maupin's, near Thaxton's switch.
He succeeded in completely deceiving this
gentleman as to his real character, bought
his farm, and agreed to pay him $4,000
forit in English sovereigns, appointing
day for Mr.. NJ. to meet him in Liberty, to
receive. money on engagement. He. of

testimony was being taken upon the condi-

politician, was giving his testimony. He was

and outrage Il understand you to say,'
said General Blair, "that no Republican can
live in safety in your section of the country"
"The life of the Republican is not worth a
straw there, sir, was the humble response.
Well" continued General Blair, II observe
'that you are fat and happy. You don't seem

NATIONAL BANK NOTE REISSUES. -For
the fourth time since Congress assembled in
December, an attempt was made in the House
on the 18th, to cencur with the Senate in
providing for reissue of new national bank
notes. Although none of these banks nor
the comptroller of the currency has asked
for the reissue, there seems to be some out
ward influence constantly pressing it on Con-
gress As the reissue would cost the GOV
ernment about one and two-thirds of mil
lion of dollars Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, pro-
posed that the national banks and not the
government should pay the bill, and the
House, by 103 to 70, thought SO too.
In reply to letter of inquiry from Sec'e
tary of the Treasury Boutwell,, Attorney
General Akerman has delivered an opinion
that the claims of loyal citizens in the coun-
ties Of Berkeley and Jefferson, West Viz
GINA, and in Tennessee, for property taken
or furnished for the use of the Union armies
during the late war, are now, under the act
of March 8, 1871, upon the same footing
with claims of loyal citizens in other insur-
rectionary States.

LIGHT AHEAD.

A writer in the Lynchburg Fryinian calls
attention to a statement recently published
relative to the finances Of Pennsylvania, to
the effect that within the past two years the
tax on real estate amounting to 81 500, 600 per
album, has been entirely repealed and other
taxes considerably reduced, and that bill is
now before the Legislature providing that all
county license taxes shall hereafter be PAID
into the several county treasures instead OF
that Of the State as heretofore. 1t is further
stated the revenue for 1871 will leave a sur
plus of $50 600 after appropriating So ooo,-
600 to the reduction of the public debit
This, as contrast to the present condition
of Virginia in financial point Of view, says
the Richmond Enquirer, would not give
very cheering prospect to the citizens of our
State were we to look only at the actual con-
dition Of affairs as now existing. But the
samewriter goes on very properly, to add, as
the peculiar significance of this statement,
which we are to regard "that forty years ago
the condition Of Pennsylvania, was very
similarto that of Virginia now. The debt
was about the same in amount, the resources
but little better, and the sources from which
the present great property has been derived.
were nearly, if not quite, as uudeveloped as
they now are here. The same mountains,
hills and valleys, with the same treasures Of
mineral and agricultural wealth are here, and
the finger of experience points to them with
singular persistence as the true Eldorado of
all who love and would save Virginia" The
Alexandria Gazette, commenting upon the
above, says it is the recollection of this, which
at once dissipates all doubt and distrust as to
the future of this Commonwealth. With the
immense resources of Virginia, with the ex
tension of internal Improvements, with the
industry and enterprise now exhibited, with
material progress 10 full tide in nearly every
part Of the country, it will not take forty
years, nor the half Of 1t, to place Virginia in
the financial condition of Pennsylvania, even
if it is as favorable as represented. Virginia
can recuperate faster than Pennsylvania has
grown.
