WHERE YLRGLNIA'S MONEY
GOES.

It is always the fashion to complain OF
taxes, and we are much more apt to COM
plain of that part of the Government near
est to US than to look into the real cause
more apt to complain of the saddle that
rubs than of the weight of the rider in
the saddle. Notwithstanding her poverty
and wasted lands, the United States Gov
eminent according to its official report just
published, took from the poor State OF
Virginia in revenue during the year just
ended SEVEN MILLION SIX HUNDRED AND
FIFrY-NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS, being
more than the states of Massachusetts,
Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island and New Jersey put to- ether
pay. She is the fifth State in the Union il.
the amount of revenue she pays, and pays
81 500 900 more than the great State OF
Pennsylvania. The county OF August;
alone pays to the United States on whisk,
above 800 900 every year, which is nearly
twice as much as is paid by the Who'll.
State of VermO 1t; twice as much as Is
paid by the whole State Of Oregon AM
nearly twice as much as is paid by Nevada.
The said sum of $4,000 taxed out of ont
Virginia county alone by the United States!
If the corruption in the collection of the
tax, which seems to have ho2ey-combed
the department, and has the effect of ma
king the honestly paid taxes higher to make
up for the deficit caused by criminal nom
payment, ever ceases, we will be able to
keep half this money in Augusta. But
this wont come till the National Govern
| ment gets in new hands.

A POPULAR CLERK.-Every member Of
both branches Of the West Virginia Legis-
lature has signed a circular addressed to
the members Of the next Congress, certi-
flying to the ability and fitness of Col. J..
B. Peyton for Clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives. The Wheeling Register"
says:
Colonel Peyton, the accomplished Clerk
of the House of Delegates, is winning
golden opinions by his courtesy and abili-
ty. By the way, his chances for Clerk of
the House Of Representatives are bright
ening, the members from several States
having already signified their. intention to
support him. Certainly a better man, or
one more qualified for the position, could

DEATH OF VICE PRESIDENT
WILSON.

The Vice. President of the United States,
of whose recovery much hope had been en-
tertained, died UNEXPECTEDLY in Washing
ton last Monday morning. His history is
we'll known as an illustration of how bility
rising from the humblest walks of life
may reach the highest position in the
country. He was not great man, and
unlike his compeers, Lincoln. Greedy,
Seward and Chase, was very slow in learn
ing the true secret of reconstruction, it
being only in the last two years that he
had been able to see both sides of the
questions; but he was a man Of great
power and in his twenty years in the
Senate lad made himself felt in all the ques-
tons that agitated the country. The
South is fast forgetting its prejudices and
has not time to nourish haiti ed against the
memory Of any NAH on the other side
who believed he was right, and there was
little in the honestly meant life of Henry
Wilson to merit the hatred of any.

1 sert you already an account of the pro-
ceedin gs OF Lexington Presbytery here. 1t
adjourned to meet in Stanton on 3Oth
inst. at y P. M.,-when full meeting is
desirable, as so much Importance is attach
ed to the call Of Staunton I'd Presbyterian
church for serv' ces of Mr. McDuff Simp-
son. The meeting here, though small, was
composed of some of the soundest theolog-
ians After the solemn services of ordain-
ing and installing Rev. Sam1 McCune, the
members left for their homes, leaving Rev.
McDuff Simpson, who remained to assist
Rev. S. Mcclure in his first communion
Mr.. Simpson preached on Saturday even
ing, Sabbath morning and evening. The
sermon before communion, from Galatians
VI; IA, was very appropriate, able and i'm
pressive. feel that these rich gospel ser
mons, with their beautiful Illustrations, so
earnestly delivered, have made many good
impressions '. hich time cannot erase, and
which 1 trust will terminate and bring
forth fruit abundantly, to the honor and
the sterrer sex, that no purer gospel could
ever be proclaimed from that pulpit. One
beautiful result connected with Mr.. Simp-
son IS sermons is that one will always find
something that will impress.
The services connected with the meeting
of Presbytery here, together with those fol-
lowing will long be remembered, and we
hope ere long Lexington Presbytery en-
naasse may honor us at Mcdowell with a
regular session. Indeed, we now extend to
it an invitation to meet here next fall Our
hearts and homes are open to receive the
brethren.
Our new pastor seems very much at home
and is fast winning the hearts Of our people.

in Virginia, says it understands that
there is ''nothing political in it, and that

Then he won't get the office! To obtain a
Federal Office in Virginia man snust
change his political opinion if he has been
a Conservative. If he holds the office and
his former opinions too he has sold himself
and holds besides his office most pitiable
position. The fact that a man can't hold

and act with the Conservative party shows
that there-is something political in it,

REMOVAL OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
OF. THE EASTERN LUNATIC ASYLUM
A few weeks ago the Richmond cores
podent Of the Petersburg News" wrote
that ssthe new Board of Directors of the
Eastern Lunatic Asylum would meet to
GUST the present Superintendent, Dr.
Brewer" Sure enough the Board met on
Friday and elected DR.. Harvey Black of
the Agricultural College, Superintendent
DR.. Brewer receiving but one vote. If he
does not accept, the same correspondent
says DR.. w. j. Christian of Middlesex will
be elected. The Board Of Directors in their
report bear 'willing testimony to the great
ability and untiring energy and industry
of the superintendent in conducting the
affairs of the institution and they rec
omend to the legislature the appropri-
alton of $67, 900 to enlarge the Asylum for
the accommodation of one hundred addi-
tional patients. There are now SO5 there,
of whom only Is are pay patients. Dr.
Black, the new Superintendent, was not
an applicant for the post. He was on
Stonewall Jackson's Medical Staff during
the war.
