A DESERVED CONFERENCE.-The Old Common
acealth, Harrisonburg, makes the following brief
but pertinent allusion to several opinions recent
ly published in the Virginian, delivered by Judge
J. W. Green Smith, of the Hastings Court of
Staunton. AT the solicitation of number of cit
liens, who desired to see the opinions published,
we procured them. Although very brief they are
comprehensive. The language used in them is Pc
culiarly judicial expressing the thought concisey
yetpromincntly. We agree with our cotemporary
who like ourself has known Judge Smith from
early boyhood, that he sgouzd do honor to am 5u-
dicial position.'
JUDGE JOHN W. GREEN SMITH.-We have re-
Gently read with interest two opinions from Judge
Smith, published in the VALLEY Virginian. They
are learned and able. Judge Smith has mind Pc
honor to any judicial position. His old Rocking
ham friends will be glad to hear from him.
DEATH OF PROF. WHITE.-Prof T. T. White
died on the 18th inst, at his residence on Messy
Creek, Augusta county, of cancer Of the Throat, in
the 45th year Of his age.
Mr.. White was widely and fayorably known
throughout the Valley, as teacher He had for
ihIuy yoAAo' oooH cASd Peu III tpat vocation, for
which he was peculiarly fitted, and had establish.
ed an enviable reputation. He was a christian
gentleman of many excellent traits, and univer-
sally esteemed. He leaves widow, and a large
family Of young children. About year ago, at
the persistent solicitation of friend and rela.
tive he was induced to take ont a policy of $780,
600 on his life, in the Piedmont s. Arlington Life
insurance company, which will be promptly paid
| over to his family, as soon as the necessary pa
pers have been arranged. Mr.. White had been
unfortunate in his business affairs, not by mis-
management, but Providential events. His Acad-
envy was burned some years ago. He subsequent
y opened his school at his residence, and several
years ago that was entirely consumed, only a few
days after an insurance policy had expired. He
was then left without means, and entirely de-
pendent on his profession for the support of his
family Some months ago, he was stricken down
with the disease that terminated his life. The
policy on his life, will leave his family in comfort
able circumstances.

PROF JED. HoTcuKIss.-Prof. Hotehkiss de-

before the teachers of that city-Su9ect- "Geog

Lecture, and concludes as follows:
The lecture of Major Hotchkiss was very clear
and admirable, and was listened to with earnest
and appreeiative attention by the teachers Those
who were educated in the methods Of Geography
could not fail to be impressed with the freshness
and vigior of his views. The immense superior
ity of Prof. Guyot's maps was also clearly de-
monstrated. We trust Prof. H. will continue his
valuable lectures to the teachers.

Large property, and is as deeply interested in the

properties, and Col. Peyton is we'll known for his
oentlemanly bearing, and courteous attention to
the comforts of his guests. He was gallant SOL
dier in the late war, his armess sleeve atests,
and equally true IN all the relations of life. We
are always glad to hear of the progress and pros

ulsry so, as we have always regarded Charles S.
Peyton as a model gentleman

them what they really should be-a place OF gen
eral resort for invalids and pleasure seekers:
The restorative and healing properties OF Taylor
Springs, have been amply tested in by gone days.
and the only thing that has confined their virtues
to the knowledge Of limited few, is the tact that
no effort has ever been made to bring them into
notice. We understand that DR.. Burke Chris

yno. F. Lewis is one of the Stockholders. The
Company is am ly able to push the improvement
forward, and make them sufficiently spacious for
any number Of visitors.

All this, with the many other schemes for

most clearly to prove that the Republican or

honest and corrupt men, for these schemes are
all confined to that party, as it is in power

VACCINATION.-Wef find in late num-

ing important observations on vaccination,
which will be found of interest Just now
/. Infantile vaccination Is an almost
perfect safeguard until the fourteenth
year.
.. At the beginning of fourteen the
system gradually loses its capability oi
resistance, until about twenty one, wher
many persons become almost as liable tc
small -pox as if they had not been yacci
mated.
3. This liability remains in full force
until about forty-two, when the suscepti.
bility Begins to decline, and continues for
seven years to grow less and less, becom-
ing extinct at about fifty, the period
when the general revolution of the body
begins to take place, during which the
system yields to decay, or takes a new
lease Of life for two or three terms oil
seven years each.
4. The great practical use to be made
of these statements is, let every youth be
re-vaccinated on entering fourteen. Let
several attempts be made, so as to be
certain of safety. As the malady is liza
BILE to prevail in cities during the winter,
special attention is inyited to the subject
at this time.

What Shall we do With the Indians ?


The attention of rhilanthropist and
Christian men will naturally be attracted
to that portion of that report Of the Sec
retay Of the Interior which treats of the
condition and prospects of'the Indian
tribes. Upon the territory left them,
which is all the time growing narrower,
there is steady pressure from the ad-
vance of our population, and the organi-
zation of new States and Territories
This is indeed inevitable, and yet it nat
urally disquiets those who hold their
lands by treaty, and with the guarantee
of the national government. With ne-
lancholy forbodings, they recall the past
experience of their race, ard therepeated
remnyals-sometimes forcible-to which
the different tribes have been subjected.
Their experience too of the white man S
greed and cruelty, has been Of a nature
TO confirm their fears.
1t is not strange that in such circum-
stances they should be little disposed to
adopt the institutions of civilized life, or
provide themselves farms and dwellings
for permanent occupation. Uncertain
how long they can remain upnolested.

THE FISK Stokes MURDER. Ney

THE FISK Stokes MURDER.-A New
Ioik dispatch says:
Interest in the Fisk tragedy does not
decrease. There is The greatest curiosity
to see Stokes. who is more fastidious than
ever IN his dress, and has fitted up his
cell with comparative luxury. He ap-
pears perfectly calm and seems uncon-
cerned; has an excellent appetite, and
gives no outward sign of remorse.
Stokes counsel are making every effort
to induce the public to believe that Fisk
was armed, and expected to attack Stokes
when they met. This is an old trick of
John Graham. John McKeon's claim
that he was in such daily fear of his life
from violence at the hands Of Fisk en-
employees, that, for months past, he was
afraid to go out alone at night. is char
acterized as mere buncomb.
1t Is stated that a number of persons
will swear that Fisk never carried arms OF
any kind in his life that on that particu-
lar Saturday afternoon they knew be had
no pistol.
The coroner's jury on Thursday after
hours deliberation returned a unanimous
verdict that the said Fisk came to his
death in consequence of wound OF

ing habits are better suited to their con
dition, and that the arts of civilization are
not what they demand.
There can be no question that under
past administrations our government has
failed to do them justice. Unscrupulous
agents have acted in such manner as To
make them feel thati the white man was
the Indians foe. Under President Grant
new policy has been adopted, and in
some instances with the happiest effects.
Facilities for missionary labor among
them have been provided, and different
tribes assigned 20 the special care of diff
ferent UNCONVENTIONAL or missionary bod.
les. For the first time in our history, a
comprehensive and consistent plan has
been devised for extending to our Indian
tribes the blessings of Christian civili-
cation.
Yet this plan is and must be imperfect
~ carried out, while the tribes retain
their rowing habits, and while they stand
continually in fear of the white mans en-
croachments. The Secretary of the In
terror therefor favors the project of con
centrating all the tribes (those of Alaska
excepted). embracing a population of
nearly 100000. within limited area,
where, under the strongest security af-
torded by the guarantees of the govern
ment, they can prosecute without foreign
intrusion, the arts of civilized life.
This plan seems the only on for pre-
serving and benefting the feeble remnant
of the almost countless Indian tribes that
were once spread over the broad CONT
nent. Yet its execution must be attend
ded by great difficulties, not the east of
which will be the reluctance of some Of
the tribes to adopt it. They may. indeed
we'll listen to the proposal with feelings
of despair, and prefer to waste away on
their prairies or amid their forests, be-
fore the advance of civilization, rather
than submit to those civilized restrains,
by which alone their race can be keut
from extinction. Their reluctance can
only be overcome by the confidence which
they repose in those true friends who
have acquired it, and an apprehension
OF the inevitable alternative in case of
their refusal to comply.
Yet we must not despair of su ,cess
The project can at least be tried. 1t
would be an offset to the dark record of
the past if the gathered fragments of the
wasting tribes could be brought together
and united in civilized and Christian
state. To promote such a consummatiop
is at least worthy of last nationa
effort. T. EUdngztst.
