Something To Hold On BY.

A woman who had been q prominent
lecturer on infidelity came to her dying
pillow. Being much disturbed in her mind
her friends gathered about her and exhor-
ted her to "hold ON to the last"
eyes, have no objection to holding
on, said the dying woman, "but will you
tell. me what am to hold on by?"
These words so deeply impressed an inf
del standing by, that he was led to renounce
the delusion.
False doctrine may satisfy the heart
when in health and vigor, but 1t will not do
"to hold on by" in the solemn hour OF
death.

A Card from John w WoItZ. ESD,

Mr.. John II. Foster, charlottesville, IA:
SRI have read the article which you
have published in the Charlottesville Weekly
in which you refer to myself, as well as to
some letters written by me to the STATE
JOURNAL of this city, in relation to the
disturbance which occurred at the depot in
Charlottesville, on the twenty ninth day of
August last, and the subsequent judicial
proceedings growing out of the same.
| am ready at all times to discuss with
any gentleman, the question whether justice
was done in the case referred to, and,
whether the same measure Of justice is
habitually administered blythe courts of Vir-
ginia to the colored people as the white men
of the State receive, but regarding you as
neither gentleman nor person Of ordi-
nary responsibility, am compelled to de-
cline any discussion or speech with you ex-
cept such as is necessary to enable me to
express the contempt feel for a rascal, a
coward and a puppy. 1t is my duty, and
cheerfully declare that the statements made
by yourself in referring to me, are aoiuful
and malicious lies, h,aOacn TO be such aohen
you first peaned them, achen you printed them,
and sc]teis you circulated them.
You must not, however, with that infinite
conceit that distinguishes chiefly the loW,
bad ,W6ian, suppose that | consider you
personally, of sufficient Importance to be
replied to far from it, it is because your
falsehood is printed and published that it
has sufficient dignity to entitle it to be no.

You should know, also, that | take this
method of noticing you, rather than to 60
to Charlottesville and fog you like dirty
scullion because | believe that you are
such notorious coward that no man could
make his courage respectable by pulling
your nose or beating you in the streets.
Understanding that you are one of those
persons who have neither the genius, the
learning. experience or virtue, necessary to
qualify man to be public teacher

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Republicans of Rappahannoct Wide Awake
Nota Single Greeley Republican--The Coun-
ty Good for Grant.
RAPPAHANNocK, Sept. s..
TO the Editor Of the State Journal:
Presenting that you desire information
from all parts of the State in relation to
the pending canvass, will state for the
benefit of those interested in the great
struggle, that the Republicans in this coun-
ty are wide awake, and will give good
account of themselves in November. |
feel justified in prophesying that this coun-
ty will give a majority for Grant and Will
son, although it gave Walker majority of
514.
There is not Republican in the county
who will vote for Greeley; but Democrats
can be counted by scores who will not vote
for the Sage" and large number here
tofore acting with the Conservatives will
vote for Grant. AS this is the native coun-
ty of the eloquent and distinguished orator
and statesman Col. John r. Popham, who
heads our electoral ticket, we will take
special pride in giving that ticket major
ity. Poor old Greeley! After November
he will, l suppose, return to his former
occupation of cursing Democrats and in
sulting Southern ladies'. b.
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1872-09-07

The Hon. H. L. Dawes, member of the
National House of Representatives from
Massachusetts, who is, perhaps, as well
posted upon the financial questions of the
day as any man in the country, in recent
speech at Windham, Me-, presented the
following interesting facts:
''Mr. Dawes next turned his attention to
public expenditures. Take, said he, from
the general expenditures of 1871 that grew
out of the war, and you will find it less
for every man, woman and child than for
any year since 1910. These figures are
made out at my request, from the De-
partment records.
&c In 1860. reduced to gold basis, the
expenditures were 500, 025,7SS 50; this
was in the time of profound peace, with no
war burdens. In 1871 the whole expenses
of the Government were 1922, III, 1925.
Take from and the expenses caused by the
war, s21S 1928, O7.47, and you have $751;
554, 110.7S as the actual expenses of the
Government on a peace basis, this on agold
basis. This gives in 1860 the sum of $1.95
per capita, against $1.76 in 1871. The
reason why the per capita is lower in 1870
is because the country is more thickly
settled, the population in 1860 being 81 ,000,-
600, against IS, 100000 in 1871.
Sin the three years of Johnson's rule
the expenditures were 1857 100000, $751;
100000, and 1922 900, 900, while in three
years of Grants administration the sums
were s309,O00,0O0, 1922, 900, 600, and
$277.000, 900, showing large reduction.
johnson collected during the three years of
his administration 100000 on the
whiskey tax alone, while during the three
years Of Grant $l57 100000 have been
collected on the article, with this difference,
that the tax per gallon during Johnson's
time was 81, and only so cents under
Grant. The expense Of collecting the rev.
enue under Grant has been one-half less
than under johnson.
"These facts speak loudly for the econo-
my of Grants administration. During
Grants administration all the revenue has
become collected but one-tenth of one per
cent. The amount of $l5S, 100000 was
collected from customs, and but 1913, 900
lost, or one $1,000 part Of one per cent.
There passed through Mr.. Spinner's hands
$50, 200, 900, vast amount, and but $685.
900 lost, less than l 10,000th part of one
per cent. The defaulters were caught and
punished. The difference between the DEM
ocrats and us, they rewarded with office
thieves, while we put them in the peniten-
tiary. So frugal and wise has been the adj
ministration of the government that the
revenue is constantly increasing, while the
taxes are diminishing and our debt is being
paid.
SIN noticing some of the disastrous re-
suits of the election of Mr.. Greeley, Mr..
Dawes said that the Southern claims already
amount to $50, 100000. Elevate Greeley
to the Presidential chair and these claims
will be largely increased. A Democratic
President and Democratic Congress will
give to the South all it wants. Our pros
perity, now so glorious, will be turned into
disaster. Can you doubt? The Treasury
will 60 under; the public credit be destroy
ed disaster and ruin will occur.

The Washington Star says that at
Greeley and Brown meeting in Alexandria
on Thursday night, Colonel Z. w. Ashley,
in addressing the club, denounced ex-Presi-
dent johnson as the greatest of dema-
gogucs, a liar and scoundrel, and said
that General Grant had done some things
that he should always be grateful to him for,
when most of those present got up and left
the room; whereupon the speaker said
that while he might speak in praise of Gen.
Grant Individually, yet he condemned the
acts of his administration as heartily as
any man, but that as his sentiments did
not seem to accord with those of his audi
ence he would rot speak any further
whereupon the meeting adjourned.

Politics IN Susscx-Lively Republican Meeting
Court Day.
STONY CREEK, Sept.

STON1 CREEk, sept. otn, 1917.
TO the Editor Of the State Journal:
The Republicans of Sussex county held
an enthusiastic meeting at the courthouse
on the 9TH, court day.. The meeting was
presided over by j. Ii. Van Auken, ESQ.,,
and telling addresses were made by the
Hon. c. P. Ramsdell, Hon. John F. Dez-
endorf, and Hon. Peter H. Jones. The
remarkable feature of the occasion was the
interest manifested, and the strict attention
paid by the Conservatives in attendance at
court, who rallied en- masse around the
stand and listened to the speakers with
profound attention for nearly four hours.
The chairman noticing the presence of
several Petersburg lawyers and the Gree
ley canvassers of Sussex and Southampton
counties, made a proposition to them to
divide time with any speaker or speakers
they might produce, which after consulta-
ton they, for reasons best known to them
selves, declined.
You may surely count on Sussex for a
larger vote for Grant, Wilson and Platt in
November next than she has ever yet given
for the Republican ticket.
Yours truly,
SUSSEX.

"If the Convention deemed it of so much
Importance in the existing condition of

SMALL HoUsEs.-It is stated that Mr..
j. II. Crenshaw, who owns the greater
portion of the square OH Church HILL
bounded by Broad, Grace, Twcnty-sixth,
and twenty-seyenth streets, is preparing to
erect eighteen small tenement houses there
on, fronting on Grace and Twenty-seventh
streets. This is move in the right direc-
ton, and we have no doubt the investment
will pay the owner handsomely. Small
houses are very much needed in Richmond.
If the demand in this respect is promptly
met by capitalists, our population will in
crease more rapidly. Families are now too
often compelled to pay large rents for
large houses, when they could be comfort
able in small houses. To avoid this state
of things many move away, and others are
deferred from coming. We applaud the
project of Mr.. Crenshaw, and hope many
others will follow his example.
