innate on which to base the county levy

nary one and adjourned to meet next Mon
day. At this meeting of the board will be
submitted proposition to call meetings OF
the citizens of the several townships to APP
point delegates to general Convention to
be held at Staunton, and at which this city
shall also be represented, to deliberate on
the propriety of petitioning the legislature

A SPECIAL ROAD LAW
for this county, which shall enable the
county court or Board of Supervisors to let

proved entirely inefficient for improving
the main roads, though it might still be
used to keep the minor roads up. 1t is a
plan which is demanded by the people OF
the county, and but needs being put in
shape to be successful.

A LONG ENLE.-The SdratogiGn gives the
story of former resident of that county.
who has just returned home after an en-
forced exile of thirty-seven years, during
which he has undergone an almost incredi-
bic experience. The name of the hero of
this tale, who is now about sixty-seven
years of age, is Henry A. Ballard. When
quite young man he left his native place
and went to Kingston, Canada, where he
worked for lumberman. On returning
from one of his numbering trips he found
thatth Papineau war had broken ont, and
that every stranger was looked upon as
Papineau ally. He was finally arrested
upon suspicion Of being a rebel, and incar-
eerated IN the government prison. Being
without friends or means, it went hard with
him, and after short confinement.
without even the farce of a trial. he
with a number of others, was SUMMARY
ly transported for life to Van Die
mans Land, the English penal COLONY.
There he underwent seryitude which was
appalling. 1t was among his lighter tasks
to be harnessed with other convicts and
compelled to perform the farm labor ordi-
narily allotted to .beasts of burden. He
made continued efforts to secure his free
dom, and at las, after struggling through
an interminable amount of "red tape," he
succeeded in proving his innocence, and
was given his liberty. He was released In
the fall OF 1871, worked about year to get
the wherewithal to come to America, and
last November he arrived at Quebec in
sailing vessel. Slowly working bis way

The Louisiana Middle.

The continued discussions on louisiana
matters seem only to make palmer the abso-
lutte contrariety of the conclusions reached
by intelligent students of the case The
| Albany Journal, after an extended review
of the affair, considers the following things
established First, that a majority of the
voters of Louisiana were for the Kellogg
government second, that the Lynch board
was the only legitimate returning board, so
decided by the Supreme Court of the State :;
third, that the board gave the certificate of
election to the Kellogg government; fourth,
that the Kellogg legislature properly met
in extra session under the call of Governor
Warmoth, having an undisputed quorum in
the Senate and more than quorum in the
House, with the certificate of the Lynch
board; and fifth, that the Kellogg legisla-
ture and government have been pronounced
lawful by the Supreme Court.
The Journal reasons further from these
premises:
Why do not these plain, undeniable facts
make clear case in favor of sustaining the
Kellogg government? If the action of the
returning board be questioned, there is the
decision of the Supreme Court supporting
it. If the decision of the Supreme Court be
questioned, there is the will of the people
plainly pointing to the same result. Why
is not the determination of the returning
board and of the Supreme Court decisive?
Even if they are admitted to have done
wrong, upon what ground can the federal
government 60 behind them? John t.
Hoffman was not rightfully elected Gov
ernor of this State in 1868. The frauds
were notorious and colossal. Yet would
the general government have been justified
in disregarding and attempting to nullify
the action of our State canvassers? Ger
tainly not. The remedy, if there was one,
rested elsewhere. And how would the gen.
eral government be any more justified In
disregarding the determination Of the State
canvassers in Louisiana, especially when
expressly sustained by the Supreme Court
But if it were to go behind the decision of
the State authorities at all, then it ought
certainly to go clear back to the will of the
