look quite formidable. Il Is noticeable
how large proportion Of the writers Of

FALSE ALARM.

We, in common with the other city pa
pers, yesterday published the Associated
Press dispatches, stating that General Ba l.
lock. paymaster of the Frecdnen's Blu
lreau, had been suspended, and that a run
was progressing on the Freedmen's Bank.
This morning we were shown special
telegram from j. w. ,Alvord, president of
the Freedmeh's Bank in Washington city,
to the effect that both rumors are false
We give the dispatch as received:
The rumors published in lle papers of your
city or elsewhere about Gen. Ballock and n run
on the Freedmen's Bank are totally groundless.
There is no more connection between the
Freedmen's Bureau and the Freedmen's
Bank, than there is between the bureau
and any banking institution in the city !;
land why they should be connected in this
matter, we do not understand, unless to
iinjure the prosperity of this growing and
wcry popular institution. Depositors in
the Freedmen's Bank need have no fears
for its safety, as its affairs are in the hands
of capable and honest managers.

A New Source ofWeaI,b.

The sulphuret of iron, or iron pyrites,
commonly known as the covering Of coal,
lead and other mineral veins, and called
among miners the ''iron hat, )" has not hith-
erto been generally in this country consid-
cred of any economic value, although con-
siderable quantities aie used in England
and Germany in the manufacture of sui
phuric and nitric acids, and for other pur-
poses not commonly understood. 1t has
been lately ascertaned, however, that it is
an indispensable material in the manufac-
ture of caustic soda, of which large quanti-
ties are imported annually into the United
States from Great Britain, but of which
none is made here.
1t is also stated, incidentally, that in its
combination and chemical reactions with
lime and salt, new products are formed,
such as copperas, alum, chloride of lime,
as well as caustic soda, all Of which are far
more valuable than the raw material.
These manufactures are very profitable
when the materials can be obtained cheap
ly and in large quantities. Enormous de-
posits of this mineral exist in certain por-
tions of Missouri and other States, and we
have no doubt that this heretofore over
looked element of wealth will be developed
to the great profit and advantage of the
country.

ANOTHER GOOD MONTHS WORK.

Secretary Boutwell's last monthly state
mcnt shows still further reduction of the
public debt of about s13, ,500,O 900, and in
creasing the reduction for the two years and
seven months of General Grants adminis-
tration to nearly $265, 900. This d-
minishes the annual. interest on the debt
about SS00,00 more yearly, and makes the
whole annual decrease of interest $l5 $780,
900. Every month since General Grants
inauguration has shown decrease in our
interest account of half million of dol
lars-that is, each month during that time
she people have. been required to pay
half a million of dollars less interest than
they paid the month before. And this re-
duction will undoubtedly continue while
the Republicans are in power, if the re-
sources of the Treasury remain as they
now are. While Republicans have been
diminishing the national debt at the rate of
more than 500, 900, 900 annually, the cop
perhead Democracy Of New York city have
been increasing the debt of that city at the
average rate of full $50, ,O0O,O a year.
And so they are plunderng the people
wherever they are in power, and so they
will plumber the people of the nation should
they ever regain control of the National
government. "

SHENANDOAH.
English RepubIicanism.

The Times publishes long letter from
Mr.. George Potter, in which he endeavors
to account for the spread of Republicanism
among the working classes. Mr.. Potter
says:
The way to account for the demand for
Republicanism, which is beginning to be
heard in England, is to remember that mil
lions of our fellow-countrymen have I'M
satisfied want, and are bowed down by
unjust burdens, and therefore the upper
and middle classes cannot be astonished at
such a demand being made by portion of
the working classes. 1t is against nature
for the poor to be in love with-a costly adj
mmistration of public affairs. The COM
parison in this respect between England and
America is so favorable to the latter, that
the wonder is that English workingmen
should have remained so long content to
admire the advantages of Brother Jonathan,
under a Republic, without desiring to share
in them.
The constitutional monarchy under
which we live has fallen upon comparative
ly happy times. BY character, conduct,
and domestic experience the Queen has OBJ
tanned place in the hearts of the people,
WITHOUT at any tilile cScltlng leeimSS OF
distrust, still less of hostility. 1t remains
to be seen whether the her-apparent will
be wise enough to follow her example.
Could we fix the court where, morally con-
sidered, it now is, there would be Strong
and general disposition to give the limited
monarchy longer trial. As it is, Eng
land throughout the present reign has pre-
sented SO pleas NJ contrast to most
European States that great many of us
who are Republicans in theory will be con-
tent to remain loyalsts in fact so long as
no oyermastering motive shall arise for
perfect popularization of our national insti-
tutions.

THE project Of tunnel under the straits
of Dover, to connect England and France,
is by no means abandoned. Engineers as
competent as are to be found in Europe
have reported upon it favorably time and
again, and the prospect that the work will
be soon entered upon is better than ever
before. Indeed, the French government
was quite prepared, before the late war, to
grant concession to any company that
would tunnel the straits, and that was all
that company already formed was waiting
for. Now it is expected that the conces-
sion will be given very shortly. The origi-
nal estimate of the time necessary to finish
it was nine or ten years. Now it is said
that a hole through can be made in one
year, and that in two or three years more
it can be open to travel.
A similar reduction has been made in
the estimate Of the cost, originally set at
ten million pounds sterling. The biologists
report that the tunnel will run through gray
chalk for the whole distance, and that can
be scooped out as easily as Dutch cheese.
The plan looks so feasible, and the cost is
set SO low, that it is now seriously in con-
temptation to construct two tunnels instead
of one, so that trains shall never be run
ming in opposite directions through the
same tunnel. The ex-Emperor was the
first to suggest this great work, but he will
get only small share of the credit if it
shall be carried out, unless the wheel of
fortune should take another turn in his
favor

LEEsBURG, October II.
Yesterday being the opening of court, &
meeting was announced for the various can
didates, Republican, Independent and Con
servative, at which each should be permit
ted to present his respective claims. Ii
spite of the rain the night before, large
crowd gathered. Thomas Il. Tav'or, late
State Senator, and candidate for ie-election
VIM. Mathews and Captain head, candi.
dates for the House of Delegates, represent.
ed the Conservative party. Judge Will
Daniels, of Fairfax, candidates for the SEN
ate, appeared on the Republican side.
The meeting was opened by Judge Will
loughby in temperate and discreet speech,
presenting the claims of the Republican
party to the sutfrages of the people with a
force and cearness which produced mark
ed impression upon his hearers. He was
followed by an elderly gentleman of the
fire-eating school, who made a rambling
and violent assault upon the government and
all loyal men, with the usual appeals to
sectional prejudices and hatred, rctailed by
fire-eaters generally. After him came
Mr.. Mathews, q gentleman whose speech
was in far better temper and very
well delivered, showing much ability as an
orator. 1t was very good defense of an
indcfensible policy-as good as any man in
the State could make,
Colonel Daniels next took the stand, and
proceeded to dcmolish the arguments by
which the pretensions of the Conservative
party were sustained. lie exposed its ne
glect Of the great material needs of the
State, in the interests of bitter and barren
partisanship. He indicated a cultivation of
wholesome enthusiasm for the CONNER
cial and industrial interests of Virginia, as
the essential condition of prosperity. The
needs of the people were distinctly and
wildly portrayed, and their inability to
bear any increase of taxation clearly proved.
The injustice and illegality of the funding
law, the value of the school system and
the dangers which threaten it, the need
of emigration with capital and skilled labor,
were clearly shown.
To this speech, earnest and convincing,
kindly in spirit, and free from all personal
illusions, Captain Head replied in violent
harangue, destitute OF argument or relevancy
to the discussion.
1t was rehash of the bitterness and per-
sonal slang, which makes the stock of the
leading Conservative presses of the State.
The disasters of the war, the expressions
of Judge Bonds court, and the bad con-
duct of carpet-baggers were portrayed in as
many forms as the pieces of painted glass
in kaleidoscope. Vituperation, abuse of
Northern men and discreditable misrepre-
sentations, made up the two hours speech
of Mr.. Head, during which he was vocife-
