THERE is mine of wisdom in this speech
Of Major Ilotchkiss, of Stanton, West vir.
GINA "Citizens of West Virginia, if you
would all take the same interest in develop
ing the resources of your country by opening
your rich mines, cultivating the soil improv-
ing your stock, and cultiyating habits of in
dustry, that you take in hunting public Of
fees for yourselves or friends, you would
soon have one of the finest and best states in
the Union"

Condition Of Arkansas.

Mr.. Charles Nordhoff, who has been " in
vestigating" Arkansas rs the "commis-
sioncr " Of the New York Herald, writes to
that paper that peace prevails in the state
and that its prosperity is reviving. lie says
that in this state at least the race question
which is so difficult Of solution in other
Southern states--is rapidly settling itself
And this is about the last southern state,
too, from which any one would have ex-
pectcd, even six mouths ago, to get such a
cheering report. But Mr.. Nordhoff, speak
ing from personal observation and knowl-
edge, asserts in the most positive terms that
the race issue is in process Of sure aud rapid
elimination from Arkansas politics. The
separation Of white and black into hostile
camps no longer exists there, either as a fact
of the present or a possibility OF the future.
The total voting population of the state /
about one hundred and twenty thousand.
The margin between the two parties-in ia
vor Of the democrats--is not much over ten
thousand votes. II obviously behooves the
party in power to leave nothing undone TO
conciliate the forty thousand oolored Repub-
lican voters, aud the democratic leaders, ac-
cording to Mr.. Nordhof, are fully alive to
the fact, lie writes
Arkansas l. ut peace. The condition Of parties
makes prescription for opinions sake impossible
Tor neither party can affor to sacrifice adherents
Both parties will try % secure the culored vote

in politics Is broken In the state The Republican

A Through Freight Route.

LATEST gUMoRs ABOUT THE WILMINGTON X READ.
ING RAILROAD.
One Of the latest rumors, says the West Ches
ter Republican, is to the effect that the Whining
ton and Reading Railroad is to be improvsed as
freight road for tho Baltimore and Ohio to
New York. II tho rimor should prove correct,
the cars would leave the Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore railroad at Wilmington, and
upon reaching the city Of Reading, be sent via
the East Pennsylvania and New Jersey Central
to New York, This route would add something
to the distance, but 1t is questionable whether il
would not be great deal cheaper than handling
the goods at Baltimore and FORWARD ing the same
by ocean steamers. This arrangement could not
be effected without the cooperation OF the Phil
adelphia and Reading Company.
