thirty-four years, and that this sum will

accumulations, constituting, at the end OF
thirty-four years, a fund large enough to
pay off the entire principal of the debt,

WE recolect reading an essay once on
Irish Swearing by an author full of wit
and extravaganza, and we thought that,
next to fighting, the Irish could beat the
world in swearing, and especially in swear
ing an abb. But the Irishman's oath is
very innocent and harmless, and often
finely illustrates the nature of the sub
ject to which it applies. If you want
to swear him on Catholic PRAYER
book or Douay bible, for instance, he
will promptly anticipate your pur-
pose by an mpromptu foath like the
following: "By all the books that niver
wor opened nor shut" and thinks, there
upon, that you ought to be satisfied
with the extent of his swearing; and if
you still press the Douay bible,
he will Immediately duplicate his
oath and swear ''By the five crasses,''
meaning his five fingers, while you arc
left to infer as many sacred embems OF
his religion. But fertile and ingenious as
the Irishman is in multiplying his oaths,
he can never approach your Conservative
editor in swearing the ''race issue" upon
his political opponents. In this particular
your editorial quill-driver of the Conserva.
tive male persuasion is entirely unriyaled
and unapproachable. He swears toweringIy,
and witha fortitude and love of freedom in
the exercise that eclipses all other swearers
in christendom! The Irishman's oath of
"By the holy poker" is not half as
brazen-faced, nor has it half the vis con,ica
in it. 1t would convulse with laughter, il
it did not thoroughly overwhelm and as
tonish with impudence. Brass, they seem
to think, is the winning metal in politics,
as gold is in love and war.

In the opinion of the London Mining
Journal, 'the decline in the American
demand for British railway iron, and the
development of American metalurgy, are
the greatest circumstances with which the
British iron trade has just now to deal. y
This would also seem to be the opinion Of
the Democratic leaders of Virginia mas
much as, by publicly declaring, through
their several organs in this state, that tar
iff or no-tariff was not question which
should disturb the harmony of their coun-
ellis and should not be thought of for one
moment as an element entering into the
present canvass, they virtually adopted the
the sentiment of The Mining Journal. But
this unpatriotic game of playing into the
hands of our most formidable Industrial
antagonist, is not the one to win.

WAS General Kemper in Richmond on
the morning after evacuation, when the
city was fired? If so, how many of his
superior officers were still here, and which
of them ordered the brand to be applied to
the public warehouses? While the Con-
servatives are making so much capital out
of the war record Of their candidate for
governor, it is well to make little his.
tory, and ascertain definitely who fired
the city of Richmond? History will
be incomplete without this information, as
it unfortunately is with regard TO the STOOL
that fired the Ephesian dome." We have
been told that General Kemper was here
at the time named, and that most, if net
all, Of his superiors in tank had dsap-
peared the night before. In making these
inquiries, we are 'laying" for history, and
not General Kemper. VIII the witnesses

history?
