The counties OF Northampton, Hall
fax, Granville, aud Warren in North
Carolina border on Virginia, and judg'
ng from the reported majorities there
in the late election the game OF coloni-
zation of negroes from Virginia was
successful. In 1868, when Grant car.
ried the State by over 1900. he re-
ceived AGO majority in those counties.
Now, by their colonization scheme,
they have increased the majority there
TO $3.50. The increase in these four
counties covers nearly the entire ma
jority which they claim in the State.
From present appearances the full re-
turns will show that the Radicals have
swollen their vote and mSorities in the
counties bordering on Virginia and
South Carolina by the importation pro-
cess, and if that fraud had beeu fully
stopped it would have been impossible
for them to count Caldwell in.

Crispin Organization in Counc

LYNN, August ia mass meeting
of Crispins was held this morning. but
what business was transacted is not
known. From an outside source it is
learned, however, that it was deter
mined to still adhere to the rules and
regulations Of the Crispin organization,
but at the same time the strikers have
proposed to the manufacturers that
each set of men working for firm shall
be allowed to labor for whatever price
may be agreed on without any inter.
ference from the order Of Crispins.
Several leading firms have been inter
viewed with regard to matters and are
willing to employ men on such terms,
but how it will be with manufacturers
who signed an agreement to employ no
no more Crispins, it is difficult to say.

fourteen years for committing an abor'

Upon.
Correspondence Pittsburgh Commercial
BELLE VERNON, August 10, 1872.
At last the proper authorities have
determined 10 construct, by way of this
place, the old Hempfeld railroad,
which is to connect that railroad at
Washington with the Pittsburgh and
Ceunellsville railroad at a point near
Laytons station. When completed,
this link will give the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad q continuous line from the
city o. Baltimore via the Connellsville
route to Wheeling, saving many miles
in distance and avoiding the high
grades which are such a source OF
trouble on the present route from Cum
berland to Wheeling. The Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company have long
sought the right of way through West.
ern Pennsylvania, and we feel gratified
that in our day their object has been
accomplished. Their engineer corps ls
now here at work in locating and
preparing the contract for a bridge
across the Monongahela river,
which, when finished, will be
one of the highest in the country, being
one hundred and forty feet high and
one thousand three hundred feet long
1t will be ready for the contractors soon.
1t will require two years to build It,
The completion Of this road will form q
new era in the history OF our town; its
new facilities for manufacturing will
certainly attract the attention OF capt
talists, and we hope soon to see 1t be"
come the principal manufacturing town
in the valley. Energetic measures are
now being taken to induce the Pitts
burgb, Virginia and Charleston Rail
road Company to have their railroad
cross the river at some point above
Monongahela City, and pass up
through our town. This would add
much to our advantage, by giving us
direct connection with your city. Al
though we are forty miles from Pitts
burgh, we are forty-seven miles nearer
Chicago, which is an important item.
Real estate though rapidly rising in
value, is nothing compared with prices
in the cities, and hence capitalists will
be able to procure eligible sites for a
small consideration, with q location for
outside facilities much superior. We
predict that in less than ten years we
will have a city Of ten thousand inhabi>

From each and every scroll OF honest fame;
Let no man trust him-none forbear 10 shed
Contempt and deep dishonor on his head :
Let guiieless children, AZ he passes by,
shrink from bis touch and shudder at his

Let lovely women loath him with disgust
And shun him like reptile In the dust.
And whilst he lives, let infamy, alone,
Claim the apostate a. her own
Until he dies and sinks into the grave,
To poison worms that feed upon the knave
There, midst the storms, let furieS foul
Hold mighty revels, and in concert howl:
Let serpents make that spot their home,
And be the watchful guardians OF hi
