SALEM. April -, 1871.
The Circuit Court for this county (Roan-
oke), Judge Alex. Mahood presiding, has
just closed, after session OF ten days. The
trial Of Judge Mahood before the Legisla-
lure, just before the end Of its session, is
still remembered. 1t will be gratifying to
the members, and to the whole people, to
know that the judge has been disposing OF
the business which had accumulated on the
docket in a manner emlnently satisfactory
10 the bar and the people.
Crops Of every description are unusually
favorable here as with you. The prospect
for large yield Of wheat was never finer.
Rye is not so good. Owing to the OPEN
ness of the spring, farmers are husily pre-
pairing for Il plentiful harvest.
Money is scarce, but the people are hope
full owing to the fact that taxes are lower
tnan was expected. We notice with plea
sure the growing prospects, both CONNER,
cial and manufacturing, of the good city OF
Richmond. Richmond manufactures OF
every description are 1T Il premium in thus
section. Roll on the ball. L1GHTFooT.
A Sensational orgcrles by q Prominent
Merchdt-He LeaceS for Europe.-Quite
q sensation was created Yesterday i'll bust
ness circles by the detection OF several
forgeries by former prominent merchant
of this city, who has been largely cohnecl-
ed with the trade of Lynchburg for several
wears, and who has occupied high posi-
ton as a reliable business man, We allude
to MIR. Ambrose r. Woodroof, late of the
firm of Woodroof 81 Co., grocers and COM
mission merchants. 1t seems that ON
Sunday last he left the city, ostenslbly
to be gone few days on some private
business. Two or three days AFTER
wards bis brothers were surprised at re-
ceiving Il letter from him announcing
briefly his purpose to sail Tor Europe, never
10 return. No cause was assigned. rms
Information gave rise to suspicious, which
resulted in the discovery that, before leaV-
ing, he had perpetrated number OF
toreeries, the full extent of which has not
vet come to light. 1t Is known that most,
if not all, the banks and brokers OF the city
are sufferers, in various amounts ranging,
it Is said, from 81 800 up to $4,000. We
have heard also of three or four private
parties who were defrauded in the aggre-
rate to the extent of probably $4,000.
There may be others in a like predicament,
and most probably are. AS far as known,
the forgeries will, we suppose, mount up
to something like $40, 900, and they may eX.
coed these figures. The tather-in-law OF
Woodroof (Mr. George T. Peasants, OF
Amherst county, is the party whose name
was l"rged.-Lyrehburg News.

What is Republican progress? +?
What is ''the spirit of the time and
age" which the party vaunts so much?
1t is President who appoints his
relatives to office? A President who
is the notorious taker of bribes in the
name of gifts? A President immersed
to his chin in gold gambling? A
President who employed the power
of his administration to depreciate the
credit of his government ? A Presi-
dent who sells himself for a consider
alton to joint stock company in New
York, whose members, having secur-
ed to themselves all the valuble fran
chises of the Island, bribe the execu-
tive head to employ the power and
patronage of his great Office to force
ABSORPTION of San Domingo abomin
alton into our system of government?
S Or is it Congress, whose members
habitually sell themselves to the lob
by, until the lobby secures land grants
large enough for whole states; until
the lobby rules the customs and die
tates the tariff plunder until the lob
by regulates. internal taxation in a
word, until the lobby rules absolutely
and omnipotently in every enactment
whereby special privileges may be
won, or money obtained? a!I IS
i. Or is it in the rule and robbery of
the Southern people; the sway of.car-
pet-baggers the advent of Reyels to

the sWarming of counterfeiters, biga-
mists, forgers and cadet peddlers in

the, time ? Is this the spirit of the age ?
Is it in these things, and others of a
like nature, too numerous to specify.
that the Democracy lags behind?

WHILE the Governors of the South
ern States, including carpet-baggers
as well as others, assert that law aud
order prevail within their borders,
Grant sends message TO Congress
upon the subject of Ku kluX out
RACES accompanied with letters and
documents dug from the dusty pigeon
holes of the War Department, which
ical politicians from 1866 to 1868, and
by careful suppression of dates at
,tempts to convince the country that a
State of lawless insurreetion and re-
bellion against the authority of the
Government exists there which re-
quires the attention of Congress, and
which will warrant another effort at
reconstruction. Governors Scott, of
South Carolina, Yarmouth, of Louisi-
ana, Clayton, of Arkansas, and Bull
lock, of Georgia, in their messages to
their several State Legislatures, give
the lie direct to all such assumptions.
And these are all Radical authorities.
But a Committee ofthe Senate has been
appointed to Investigate these alleged
outrages, and to dig up some pre-
text for re-reconstructing the South
ern States so as to secure the success
of the Jacobins in 1872, without which
they have no hope left. When will
the country have done with this folly
and wickedness? @ .a3el
