GALLIPoLIs, o., April 18th, 1875.
MAJOR HoTCHKIss-Dear Sir We are
sorry to learn that you will leave our city in a
few moments. We hae hoped that you would
find time to make us a long call as we had bus
mess Of Importance to lay before you-espe-
cially as we know that yeur Whole heart and
soul are wrapped III the interests Of the c. &
0. r. r. " hat you have done, under all the
adverse circumstances, to draw freight from
this city to the city OF Richmond, doubtless
the officers of the C. & 0. r. r. cannot fail to
fully appreciate. We were anxious to know
what you thought would be the advantages to
Richmond of a road built down the Kanawha
Valley from Scarry to this place to connect
with the Gallipols, Macarthur and Columbus
road. Now, sir, as your early departure will
deny us the privilege of a personal chat,
may we ask that you will lay this matter be-
fore your Company, and especially before the
people of Richmond.
The writer feels great pride in the build
ing up of Richmond, and, having studied the
matter carefully, has become convinced
that Richmond's greatest interest demands an
all-rail connection with the Northwest. We
believe that q road down the Kalawha Valley
via Gallipolis, thenca over the Gallipolis, Nc
Arthur aad Columbus road, to offer the most
direct communication with the great North
west We are sure that if you feel and think
as we Go, and will present this matter with
the same zeal and energy that you solicit bust
ness for youl~oad, that you will succeed in in
dncing the people Of Richmond 70 build the
Scarry and Gallipolis road. Please excuse
this hastily written note. From

MARRIAGE OF Miss IDA GREELEY I'll

MARRIAGE OF Miss IDA GREELEY.-The
marriage of Miss Ida Greeley, eldest daughter
Of the late Horace Greedy, to Colonel Ncho-
las Smith, OF Covington, KY, who served
Throughout the war in the Confederate army,
took place on Saturday morning at the resi-
dence OF the BRIDES aunt Mrs. John F. Cleve-
land, in New York. The services were sol
emnized according to the Roman Catholic
fornl-that being the faith of the BRIDES moth
er-by the Rev. Father Farrell. The spacious
par!ors were crowded with invited guests
Misses Greeley and Cleveland acted as brides
maids, while Whitelaw Reid was one OF the
groonfsmen There was no display Of bridal
presents, except rich and exquisite floral gifts.
After the ceremony the bridal party and num-
Ter of guests took carriage to proceed to the
steamer Abyssinia for Europe on their we'd

This matter of Il c employment Of labor has
become too serious to be lightly tossed aside
and dsregartled. Throughout she common
wealth everywhere, we find willing hands with
nothing to d. Stalwart men are ldling about,
begging for employment to keep the wolf from

dying enbers and stale crusts. The rich ores
which lie ia ample abundance all over our

without turning a wteel-the finest OF valuable
forests that could be converted into millions OF
ready cash, raise their green tops 20 the sky,
as though invoking the anger OF heaven upon
the stupidity and folly Of man that will not
convert them for his use. All that is wanting
is capital and enterprise to inangurate indus
tries out OF these natural elements, that labor
may be employed and suffering h&manity re-
lieYed. And these essential motive powers are
kept away by the criminal legislation OF the
law makers OF the commonwealth. whom these
suffering people have entrusted. One bold,
manly effort upon the part of the legislature of
Virginia, could have changed this gloomy con-
aitien, and laid the foundation for the prosper
ity Of all classes Of the people-that was to
come squarely up to the work OF making pro-
vision for the public debt, in some satisfactory
shape, and thus restore the credit Of the com
monwealth. It was not done, and so long as
the class of sniveling demagogues who have
disgraccd the legislative halls, continue to be
entrusted, it will not be done. It is a duty
the people eve to tliemselves,t to their children,
and to the country, to assert their power at the
ballot-box and place good and true men in au-
thority that they may yet save the common
wealth. redeem her forfeited credit, give en-
pigment to labor, and lay the foundation for
substantial and lmmutable prosperity.

ID A LIVELY PRosPECT.-The Washington
cor.e spondent of the Baltimore Sun, of the Sd,
says:
Although Congress does not meet for seven
months the interest in tie organization of the
House of Representatives is becoming quite
lively One of the candidates for Speaker and
two or three of the candidates for clerk are
spending their time here and arc very brsily
engaged in the hope Of advancing their indvid-
ual prospects. Candidates for some Of the
other offices are also quite thick, as they seem
to think that more can be accomplished here
than at any other point. With the possible ex-
ception of Gov. Walker, of Virginia, the South
has no candidate for Speaker, but she looms up
strong and mighty in candidates for all the
other offices under the House. There will be
some disappointed people about these parts be-
fore next Christmas.

laboring for the success of the Republican

The New York Euening Post, which has
been Independently inclined of late, says of Mr..
Adams programme for the Liberal party:
The assumption that third party can long
exist in such a relation to Che other two is con-
trary to all political experience. 1t must inev-
itably yield to bad control, or modify one of
the two so as to merge in it, OF else dwindle
into insignifcance. III any event its mission
and career are bound to be temporary. Inde-
pendence of partisan control on the part Of the
individual voter is one thing, but the paramount
organization of a tody of voters to be bid for
like goods at an auction sale is something very
different.

volving the payment Of usurieus interest on

We have too much partizan spirit in this
country. 1t carries otherwise good men to too
great extremes. It blinds the Judgment, it
gives lose reign to passion and prejudice, and
peryerts the whole object OF free institutions
1t is carried beyond the mere act Of an election.
After it is over, and the people have recorded
their verdict, making it the law OF the land,
Partizan bitterness continues, manifesting it
self in opposition to the persons and legislation
of the sue cessful party for no otler reason than
difference as jeopardy names. It matters not
what the service to his country of the success
full candidate for office has BEEN or what the
virtues displayed in the execution of his trust.
his party opponents consider it religious duty
to denounce and SANDER him, Partizan pas
sion does not respect the government of the
country, unless it is run in the interest Of the
organization with which It is allied. In no
other country in the world is so much latitude
| given to the baser tendencies Of human nature,
and nowhere is SANDER and abuse against the
recognized authority of the country tolerated
with such inpunity. Legitimate criticism OF
public men and acts serves to elevate and pur-
ify legislation an Il administration, but when
criticism degenerates into malign defamation,
| it becomes crime against tie nation.
| Probably no man who has been honored with
| the confidence Of the people and who has serv-
| ed his country under snoh difficult and embar-
raising circumstances, has been the object of
such unmitigated and malign SANDER from his
political opponents, as Gen. Grant. Although
he has manifested. Oh all proper occasions, q
| disposition to accommodate the wishes Of his
party opponents-sueh indications have been
invariably perverted, and the kindness shown
availed Of, to misconstrue his purposes.
| Political leaders and professional dema-
gogues, however, do not represent the honest
sentiment OF the country. The people, when
their real opinions are made known, will show
that they appreciate the great service Gen.
Grant has rendered the country, and they rec
ognize the necessity Of an impartial enforce
ment Of the laws and the protection Of the
rights OF citizens. Wanton and reckless assault
upon the chief Executive officer of the nation,
will find no sympathy with the impartial jndg-
ment Of the country, and the solemn convic-
ton of the people will repudiate such conduct
when the proper time comes.
