THE Washington Republican notes the
significant fact in Fauquier county, the
home of Mosby, that the Republican gain
was fraction less than two hundred. Per-
haps the influence of such staunch sup
porters of the administration of President
Grant as Major Richard FL. Carter, had
something to do with this result. 1t is a
pity that few more national Republicans
and state Democrats like Mosby had not
been at work for Kemper. That was all
that was required to insure the election Of
Colonel Hughes.

lT is gratifying to note the many
pleasant things our local contemporaries
are now saying of the 'Northern man
settling upon u.s." He no longer has
horns in front OF forked narrative in the
rear, but is just the man 1--WE Virginians"
want to have come among us-"carpet-bag
it'' into the state, as we have lately been
saying. The late oarpet-baggers are now
assured that the "gallant and gifted
Prentiss was as good and true Southern
man as if he had not been native OF the
North !" that eve are all of one coun-
try" and that principles, not birthplace,
make the man. All this is very gratifying,
pleasant ands instructive, and we are
pleased to note the sudden change that has
come over the spirit of their Dreams
dreams of wealth, thrift, power, enter
prise, and everything else but political
voice and influence in the state. The mo-
ment there is any evidence that these
northern settlers seek anything of this sort,
away 60 all the sweet, sugar-coated adject-
ives, and such pleasant little epithets as
''carpet-bagger," "Yankee scum" "puii-
tanic rif.raff, :" INSCRIPTIONS scoundrels,"
etc., ETC., leap to their lips, or trickle from
their penis point, and ''Virginia for Vir-
ginians" is again the grand ralIying cry.
If the result of Conservative success in
the campaign just closed, is to dispense with
these pleasing explosives on the part of our
local journalism, we shall consider the late
election as not without its compromising
features. To hear the leading Conservative
journal of Virginia assuring the people of
the North that 1--WE are all of our country"
Is a circumstance most especially worthy of
note. And so we make the note.

A LOVE MARRIAGE.-The following
is stated as a fact a, rich broker in
San Francisco lately made a desperate
attempt TO prevent his pretty daughter
from marrying a man who mended
harnesses for S65 a month. The girl
loved the man, and seemed determined
to go ahead with the business of true
love. The broker offered the harness
member = 1000 TO desert his daughter
forever. The young man refused the
bride as no equivalent for his claim.
He then went TO the young mans en-
ployers to get them TO discharge him.
They could not think of doing this. as
he was a good, faithful fellow, and gave
entire satisfaction-so that the old
broker didn't know what to do next.
His daughter helped him out of his un-
certainty, but plunged him into deeper
trouble than he had ever known. She
disappeared one day and search for her
proved upayailing. In two or three
days, traces of the missing girl were
found in the Office of Justice of the
Peace. There was a record there of
her marriage with the faithful harness
member. The broker draped his house
in mourning, according to the custom of
MS IeHStoh, andtOI course regards his
daughter as dead. She immediately
found place as saleswoman in a mil
hnery store at $45 a month, and S45
and S65 make $40, which is not so bad
a figure at all for young married
couple to cut. 1t is just the sort of a
beginning that POUNDS a happy home,
into which mother-in-laws are not apt to
enter with their disturbing influences,
and where fathers do not break through
and steal their daughters away.

is to be found to considerable extent.
Going back to the mountain, striking the
road to the Notch, another opening MADE
by Mr.. s., is found. This opening has
also produced good results, and prepara-
tions for working have progressed some
what, and some blasting has already
been done. 1t is scarcely probable that
these deposits are confined to the farm
of Mr.. Spellman alone. The possible
and probable state of the case is that
these are but the faint indications OF
vast stores of the iron near by, and
that when investigation and examination
have been carried forward sufficiently,
limitless quantities may be found. Some
experts have been upon the ground, ana
Mr.. Spellman has had good offers for
his farm, all of which he resolutely de-
clines. 1t is expected that some expert
ments will soon be made, to test the
suff1ciency of the quantity of ore, and
if these experiments prove satisfactory,
other arrangements win be made for fui-
" prosecuting the work of mining.
There is also to be found in this vicin-
ity gold-bearing quartz, and the deyel-
opment of the iron store-house may
bring to light some hidden deposits of
the precious metal. There is money
there for somebody, and we anxiously
await further developments which we
will note as made. ...-sst ./.sf ~
Mr.. Spellman made the first opening
something over a year ago, and the Sec
ond, on the Notch road, at later date.
Of course, alone aud unaided, and with
out means or experience enough for min
ing on a large scale, his work has neces-
sarily been slow, but it has gone far
| enough to show that this is no mere chi
mera; that, in fact, there is iron here,
and much of it. We hope he will soon
be assisted in carrying on his work, and
| that it will result In the addition of val
liable mining operations to the present
business of Rutland.
