ALBA, Knoxville a DEs MONIES
po.p.-We understand that Messrs.
etnbbs & Go. have finished up the
grade on this road from Abba 70
Knoxville and discharged their haDds-
Their time had been extended 10 the
first OF October on account OF the ex-
tremely wet weather they have had
10 contend with all summer, 80 that
they did not forfeit anything by not
getting through by the first OF Sep
tember. We presume they made
some money aud are quite sure they
deserved 10 do 20 on account OF the
extraordinary pluck and courage they
DISPLAYED under the most trying and
djscouraging circumstances. The
work Of track -iaying has been resumed
and Messrs. Wells, French d Go. will
pnsii forward the work Of putting
down tile track ~ rapidly as possible.
Within a few days now the rural
town Of Knoxville will be startled by
the snort of the iron horse. and will
have railroad and telegraph connec-
ton with the city OF Abba and the
business world generally. ANU

WOOdIaWn Farmers Club.

Reported for the Alexandria Gazette
The regular monthly meeting OF the Wood
lawn Farmers club was held at the house of
Charles Balllngsr, near Collingwood, on Sat
urday last. Notwithstanding the almost i'm
passable condition of the roads, consequent
from the recent protract9d rainy weather, there
was large attendance of the members
The principal topic of discussion was the
ways and means Of maintaining and keeping
in good order our public wagon roads; and the
interest manifested by all present. in the I'M
portant matter strong encouraged the belief
that there Is determination on the part of the
enterprising farmers of old Fairfax to make
their thoroughfares easy of travel and fully
commensurate to their increased and Increasing
needs as progressive agricultural community.
A special road bill for the county of Fairfax,
which had been prepared by a previously APP
polluted committee, was carefully considered,
and, after some amendments, unanimously
adopted, and recommended for enactment by
the Legislature.
Mr.. Person, our delegate, aud an active
member OF the club, took charge of the bill,
and Will present it an early day

there Was but little concert Of action in regard

CHURCH AND STATE.
VIEWS OF THE RICHMOND CLERGY

The Richmond clergy have been interviewed
for the purpose Of ascertaniug their opinions
in regard to President Grants Recommended
tons to tax church property, &c. The follow
ing is synopsis:
Reporter: presume, Bishop, that you have
President Grants message?
Bishop Gibbons: have read tho document
carefully.
Reporter What is your opinion, Bishop, of
the school question which has Of late agitated
the 'u.try?
Bishop l think that the constitutional almond.
ment regarding the school question proposed by
President Grant if carried out would reduce
our American republic to the condition of
things which formerly existed in Pagan Rome
In the old Roman empire the individual was
absorbed by the State The citizen WAS looked
upon only as a part and parcel of the vast ma
chinery called the State. | think that the gen.
ersl government has no more right to dictate to
the father when and where and how he must
educate his child than it hasato prescribe the
quality Of his food or the shape Of his clothing.
think it would be injurious to the autonomy
of the States if the education OF the masses were
controlled by the Federal government This
would necessitate the creation of another hu-
resu. We have quite enough already. If pop
ular education is wrested from the family and

MONDAY, DECEMBER Is.

There seems to be some reason to hope for
revival Of the ship building industry of the
United States. 1t is hoped that the ship yards
on the Potomac will soon feel the benefit of
the revival of this branch Of enterprise. The
Boston Globe, Of q recent date, claims that
there is an actual revival of this important in
terest throughout the New England States
10 Massachusetts, the ship yards of Newbury-
port, Quincy, Chelsea and East Boston arc
turning out 6rst-cIass ships. But Maine leads
in this industry. Her shipping, built last
year. amounted to 1872, 54S tons, an Increase OF
30, 720 tons over the year 1878. The value of
this tonnage was about S7,500,000. The cur
rent year will reach about the same figures
1t is also stated that wooden vessels are now
built as cheap in the United States, as 10 the
Dominion Of Canada, while the builders OF iron
steamships claim that they are prepared to turn
out first class ships, of superior quality, as
cheaply as they can be constructed in any 9TH
er portion Of the world Let US then have a
tonnage equal to the wants of our foreign com
MERGE, our international mail service, and our
immigration.

A plan for the reorganization of the Chesa-
peaks and OHIO Railroad has been devised. 1t
is proposed to obtain decree for the sale of
the property as early as practicable, under
both the six per cent. and seven per cent. mort
cages, so that the purchasers may acquire a
perfect and satisfactory title to the entire prop
erty, franchises, and corporate rights of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company, sub
ject only to the liens Of the Virginia Central
bonds Ito be provided for by a renewal or ex-
tension of these mortgages, or otherwise, as
circumstances may require), and that it be
purchased, ON behalf of the bondholders and
creditors, who shall unite in the plan, by a
suitable committee or trustees, to be hereafter
selected by them.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Richmond Christian Advocate is oppos-
ed to taxing church property which is used for
church purposes
lie was one OF our most energetic trustees,
says village paper 10 an obituary notice, land
we trustees happy
Radical papers are printing third-termaedi-
torials and Government advertisements in about
equal proportions now.
When Bishops commence to do the work of
politicians politicians will soon begin to do tue
work Of Bishops
Bishop Haven thinks that the country would
be benefited by the reelection of Grant. We
are sure there is one Republican who will not
agree with him, and that Republican is--Mr.
Blaine.
Some at least, of the Richmond cergymen
were wide awake enough to keep out of the
trap which the Richmond reporters set, last
week, to catch the ministers aud make them
fill up the newspaper columns.
'Lct no guilty man escape" was Grant
catch phrase for the public ear. Henderson
caught Babcock. Such result never was
intended" says Grant, therefore dismiss
Henderson from the case at once"
Dickens and Thackcray were walking in Co.
vent Market one day, when they came to a
place where there were two piles of oysters in
window, one pile being marked Dinepence a
dozen, and the other sxpencc Dozen Thack-
cray stood with his hands behind him and said
to Dickens: "How they must hate each
other"
