The Pollution Of Rivers.

long years we have urged 1t upon the con-

importans that could be studied oy the

manufactures, and their shores he sf:tttei

How gHE GOOD Make OF SPOTsYLvLtIA HAS
BEEN DsMAGED.-We clip the following in
regard 10 Il Ialr meeting held at Spotsy!yania
Courthouse from one OF our eXchanges-thc
Warren Stntinel: "The people Of Spotsyl-
yania county, Va, in public resolution, say
that all that the people OF Virginia can stand
is three per cent. tax as an.nterest on ihsT
millions, or six per cent. on fifteen millIon-.
in our Impoverished condition. Ii you are
boor, or bankrupt, what good to tell every
body about it, Courage. No more whining.
if you please; do you more harm than good.'
This is mild in comparison TO some Of the
comments, the responsibility OF which the
Whole people of the county have to bear, as
made on the so.called meeting, which, 10
effect, denied the States obligations as to
fifteen millions of the heretofore SolemDly.
acknowledged debt Of the State. 1t should
be remem bered that only some twenty-five
persons participated ia the meeting, which
has brought oblCquy on the good name Of
the people of the county. AS far as We
know, not one citizen OF Fredericksburg was
present when the resolutions were passed.
