The Democrats are terribly agonized
over the loss ofthe unconstitutional foreign
miners tax; but if the Chinese should
all leave, and cause further loss of pro-
perty, road, poll and hospital tax, they
would commit suicide. They are mourn
ing the anticipated loss of exorbitant fees,
and no matter what occurs, the county
officials must have three or four times as
much pay as other people, or the poor ifel-

WHERE lO SlOf IN tNEV 1Oitn'
If any of our travelling friends reach New
York, dirty and tired, or half sick, as we
did, few days ago, we have apiece of adj
vice for them.
At No. Is Laight street, is a quiet retreat,
half home and half hotel, where the best of
food, beautifully cooked, may be had good
clean beds, and, what is better than all, that
renovater of the physical man, a genuine
Turkish bath. If you are well it will not
hurt you, and if you are sick it can hardly
fail to benefit; and many case it is one o {
the supreme luxuries vouchsafed to man.
Here, too, you will meet refined and
intellectual circle of people ; and the propri-
etors ,Drs. Wood and Holbrook, spare
no pains to secure the comfort of their
guests and make them feel that they have
found home in that Babel of strangers,
New York. Those who look only for style
and display may go elsewhere, but we know
there are numerous visitors to New York,
who would be delighted with just such quiet
and refined stopping place as 10 Laight
street. In our advertising columns will be
found a fuller account of this deserving es-
tablishment.

We call the attention Of our Goochland
friends to the following communication of
correspondent from that county.
We trust that the members of our party
in that good old county will lay aside all
differences of opinion as to the past, and
come up and unite as one man in support
of the nominations of the party. Major
Banks, the regular nominee for the House
of Delegates, is young gentleman of
worth and ability, and his nomination was
undoubtedly wise and judicious one:
GoocHLASD, c. H., Sept c, 1871
Mr. Editor--I desire through the columns of
your valuable Journal to impress upon the Re
publicans of this county the great Importance of
nnanimity OF action in the rapidly approach
ing electin, on account of the many and material
issues involved They have made wise and
judicial nomination, wholly acceptable to ALL
save few disatfected percons, who are aspir-
ants to political pleierment ard SO much we'd
ded to conside- -ntions of their own personal
advancement as to be easily induced to try and
defeat the interest of the party, in case they fail
TO be nominated themselves, which shows u
selfshness of purpose that deserves the execra-
ton of all good and hish-mindcd men, and
ought to fix upon them the seal of eternal
infamy. We are thoroughly enlisted in the
cause and have firmly resolved not to leave un-
tried any means calculated 10 conciliate the
conflicting elements, which,. if we succeed in
doing, you may safely look forward to the glori-
ous triumph of the Republican party in this
county With Major r. G.. Banks as our stan
sRard bearer, and who is eminently fitted for the
position by moral, mental and political qualiica-
lion, and who, we believe, will faithfully repre-
sent the Republican sentiment of this county
This is a busy season with our political adver-
sares who are now engaged in sowing the seed
Of dssension Republican soil, but unless
they are more successful than we believe they
will be, they will fail TO reap very remunera-
tive harvest. There will be a large and enthusi-
astic gathering of the Republicans at our court
house ON the 10th inst, at which time al who
feel an interest the welfare of the Republican
party, are invited to attend

The habit which prevails among mem

The habit which prevails among mem
bers of Congress of endorsing indiscrimi-
nately applications for positions under the
government, is altogether inconsistent with
purity and efficiency in the public services
and should be abandoned forthwith. AS
illustrating the carelessness Of Representa-
tives and Senator's in this matter, the
Washington Star mentions the following in
cident: A we'll known Southern member
of Congress called at one of the depart"
ments day or two ago to procure the re-
lmoyal of party who, he ayerred, was not
only rampant Democrat, but member of
the Ku-Klux-Klan. The papers of the
party against whom these allegations were
made were sent for, and it was found that,
with the exception of the member of Con-
gress referred to, they were strongly en-
dorsed by the entire Republican delegation
of the State. The member of Congress
who had waited upon the head of the
department, however, insisted that the
party was nevertheless well-known DEM
.0crat, and that, to his certain knowledge,
not more than one of the honorable gentle
men who endorsed the papers were ac-
oquainted with the man they recommended.
He even went so far as to intimate that he
could obtain paper signed by every one
of the same honorable gentlemen asking
for the removal of the very person they
had formerly recommended. In another
case Senator, calling to demand the remo-
val of clerk on the ground that he was in
competent and no Republican, was con-
fronted by letter written by himself some
months before, in which he had recommend
ed, in the very strongest language, the per-
son whose removal he now demanded.

quiet of the community preserved.

AN INGENIOUS AND USEFUL INvEN-
TIoN.-Mr. George r. Harding, of Mani
chester, has shown us the model Of a
mouse trap, which is so ingeniously ar
ranged that an indefinite number of these
little mischievous animals may be caught
without resetting the trap. MFR. Harding
has obtained patent for this invention.
This ingenious trap is made of tin, having
two separate apartments, one of which is
stripped up in the form of a cage, while the
other resembles closed box. Inside the
box is the simple machinery which adjusts
the trap for setting and springing it.
Two small doors, one on each side OF the
box, are so arranged in grooves as to easily
slide up and down. The mouse on enter
ing the trap steps upon nicely adjusted
spring which closes the door, by causing
them to fall. Seeking daylight the mouse
makes his exit by passing under a small
latticed gateway, the hosting of which also
hoists the doors, leaving them open for the
reception of those wishing to enter. Alto
gether, it is a simple and excellent arrange
ment for catching mice, and it will likely
supercede all others now in use. Mr.. III.
has two beautiful white mice, with which
he illustrates the practical workings of his
invention. We wish him great success
with his new enterprise. Mr.. ii. is also
the inventor Of new and useful fire and
thief detector, many of which have already
been sold to the public and which are Civ
ing general satisfaction. he is also the in
yentor of other useful inventions.

TURNPIKE TRANSFERRED = The
Board of Public Works has transferred so
much of the Junction Valley turnpike as
lies in Botetourt to the Board Of Superyi-

the act approved March 9th, 1871, which
gives the Board of Public Works power to
do this with the consent of two-thirds OF
the supervisors of any county. 1t further
provides that private stockholders in such
roads may follow the States example and
make like transfer of their stock. These
provisions, however, do not apply to self
