ty view in that quarter. They no
that by the extension of the Valley
road 10y way Of Buchanan, the Tennes-
see line will draw off the trade of the
southeast from the Virginia cities to
Baltimore. We opine, however, that
the extension would develop new trade,
which otherwise would not come for
ward, that Mr. Mahone's, Atlantic
Mississippi and Ohio road would still
have grand and growing business,
while the people Of all southwest VIII
glnia would have the advantage Of Two

vantages sure to ensue to the pr, fit Il
the whole State Of Virginia, while OF

connection would be made with the

With 50 much territory yet to develop
Virginia should invite all the railroads

Of the law that they seize every oppor-

ENFORCE THE LAW.

The Christian community of Cairo
ought to be lectured. II is an iceberg
even in this hot weather. Nothing can
~.oseo Vur CHRISTIAN ana temperance
people into life-iuto vigorous labor;
and 1t is fact, apparent to the most
casual observer, that, if the sinners Of
Cairo were az lazy as the saints, Satan
would soon become a beggar
for followers in this part Of the
earthly vineyard, Sin could not long
live IN this city if it we're as inactive
as lazy-as Cairo godliness.
What do We mean by this We will
proceed to explain
A few days ago, man of the name,
Of Gupton-a desperate character
became drunk and killed a citizen Of
the name of Eschbach. A large GROVE
Of angry citizens gathered about tn,
Jail in which Gupton had been con,
fined, and demanded the prisoner they
were determined TO hang him to lamp
post. When asked why they were
making this demand, they said: al
we do not hang him. he will not be
hanged the laws are not enforced in
Cairo, and our citizens can be shot
down and murdered with impuuity
The laws must be enforced, if we our
selves enforce them"

may appear strange, but it is fact,
that the most active leaders were ga
loon keepers. They were the loudest
| in demanding the enforcement of the
laws, which they claimed--and not
without truth-were being with impun-
| ity daily violated in Cairo.
| We told them ii was the fault of the
people if the laws were not enforced
that the mob-law they proposed to in
dulge in, might in turn bevisited upon
tho mobbers. We entreatcd the angry
people to take action in their cool mo-.
ments to secure the punishment of Cup
ton by due process of law Ofcour.c, this
request has been forgotten. The lynch
ers have retired aud there is now no
person, except the officers of the law,
who will take any interest in the trial
of Gupton; and how many will put
themselves to the trouble of iuquiring
in what manner the widow and orphan
of the murdered mai are supplied with
the necessities of lie?
But the Gupton mob gave express
sion to sentiment that all our people
should act upon the laws must be
enforced and no man be permitted to
violate them without suffering the pen.
atty. If this rule is adopted, we will
have few murders few nets of lawess
ness in Cairo. Let u then, citizens of
Cairo, act upon this suggestion.
Gupton killed Eschbach lulawfully
let us all labor to have him punished
in accordance with law. 4 saloon
keeper or saloon.keepers of this city
sold TO Gupton, who was drunk, liquor
on Suu5ay-'old him liquor unlaw-
fully, aud this made him a maniac
ready to kill any person. lie killed
Eschbach, without malice because he
had never seen Eschbach, and did not
remember the next morning that he
had killed him. 1t was, in fact, liquor
that murdered Eschbach, and liquor
that had been sold to Gupton unlaw-
fully. Let US all then labor to have
tho saloon keepers who sold Gupton
liquor unlawiully punished in accord
ance with law. Let us take up the cry Of
the saloon keepers who wished to hang
Gupton, and say "'rhe law must be
viudicated. He who violates it in
Cairo, whether lac bo temperance
man or Il saloon keeper, Christian or
u ,inner--whocver he may be-mus,
be punished
What do the Christians say to this :?
We sinners have come to the conclu.
sion that the laws must be enforced.
and if the Christians will only wake
up the programme can be carried
out
Come, now, painNo ~,.l siunars don't

valuable shibboleth. Will they profit
by it?
Who will lead? Will the church
