THE LAUREL FORK s. ORE
KNOB q. G.. II. K.

The abOre named new measure
Was introduced by Col. Fulkerscn
into the House of Delegates the
day before adjournment and passed
to its engrossment, so that the Sem
ate had it next day and before dark
it was in the hands of the Govern
or ard received his signature.
The Ore Knob Company has its
base of operations in the mineral
hills of Ashe Co., N. c., and they
propose, with proper assistance to
construct a narrow gusge r. r.,
south of White Top mountain so
as to enter Laurel near Taylors-
vile and tap the A. M. & o. r.
R., at point not east of Glade
Spring. The line will be some fif.
ty or sixty miles in length, and will
open up and serve a vast and i'm,
portant section of this county. The
Ore Knob Company is believed to
be one of wealth and, besides the
aid expected. flom counties and
private parties, it is expected that
the A n & o r r Company will
extend it substantial aid. We see
no reason why this very impor-
tant enterprise should not succeed
and be built in something like the
same rapidity with which it was
passed in the very last hours of the
session. There werc few persons
in the Legislature that knew any
thing of its value or importance,
but the people Of this county will
see that it ought to mean business.
We believe Gen. Mshone will meet
these men in a most liberal spirit,
and that if they can make sub
stantial beginning he will make the
move a success. Let our friends
in the South Side talk this matter
over while the subject is warm.

Pulaski, Mon gomery, Allegheny, and
Craig, and the entire Senatorial Dele
cation from the Southwest, with pos

Fuikerson amendments aud resOiu-
ton. The delegate from Wythe was
q violent auti-funder during the ses-
sion of 1874, and was so persistent in
bis opposition TO the Funders that MIR.
Stewart. of Augusta, in an effort to
bring him into ridicule, styled him the
Lord Chancellor of the EXchequer.'
This same Wythe delegate, during the
last session, declared himself an auti-
funder but could not support the Full
kerson amendments, because he said
he could not see how Fifty cents could
be discharged by the payment of Forty
cents in lawful money of the United
States. The Delegate from Giles,
while denouncing the Funding bill
and the FundeTs, being member of
the Finance Committee, voted against
the FulkersOn amendments, because
majority of his committee were OPP
posed To them.

what We soon May Hear.

There is something interesting in the
efforts of the republican party to obtain
control of New York. Whatever mistakes
Governor Tilden may have made, whatever
errors his record may show, on one point it
is clear, in support of reform. We thought
that nobody outside of a lunatic asylum
would question this; yet, when we read the
republican exchanges, we are amazed to find
that all this time we have been laboring I'M
der Misrepresentation. Governor Tilden,
we are told, has never been sincere in his
reform efforts. His war upon Tweed was q
sham. His controversy with the Canal Ring
is a pretence. We are asked to believe the
whole movement for the publication of the
government of New York, which has attracted
trick to gain votes.
The canvass which begins as briskly as this
is capable of any possible range. Our read
ers must not be surprised at anything they
hear about Governor Tilden. We shall prob
ably learn that he was the author Of the six
million board of audit robbery. Perhaps, if
the truth were known, it would be discovered
that Ingersoll and Garvey and Corson and
Wilbur, when they robbed the Treasury,
divided with Tilden. The bottom fact of the
whole business is, no doubt, that Tilden was
interested with the Court House Commission
ers that he shared with Fields his plumber
of the fremen that he was the real instru-
ment of Harry Genet's escape from justice.
No doubt the whole business of Tweed going
to Jail and Tilden becoming Governor was
shrewd plot between these two great chiefs of
the democratic party. Tweed sacrificed him
self in order that his old companion and
friend might become Governor and by that
means President. When Tilden is President,
when he has the disposal of all the public
patronage it will finally come out. Sweeny
will be recalled and made Secretary of the
Treasury. Tweed will be released from
prison and appointed to the sub-treasury-
ship of New York Genet and Fields and the
other exiles will be accredited to the European
Courts. All the Tammapy statesmen of the
Empire who, since the fall of Tweed, have
been working on the Fourth avenue improve
ment at one dollar and sixty cents
a day, will be summoned to the positions
they once held -judgeshps, seats in
the Assembly and the Senate to high
stations under the administration. For
arc we not told that this Tilden is crafty
old fox that he whispers his condolences
with Morrissey; that he owns John Kelly;
that his ambition by day and his dream by
night is to be President of the United States?
Since our republican friends have gone
into the canvass of defamation against Tilden

The Present Era OF Crime.

While the Legislative Commission now
in session in this city to investigate tho
causes of crime are pursuing their labors
it would be we'll for them to look
around and see for themselves the fright-
full prevalence of murder, burglary and
highway robbery at the present time The
columns of the daily journals are filled with
accounts of every species of crime to such
an extent that one can scarcely reconcile such
reports as picture of everyday life in a
great city. 1t is but natural for the commits
tee to inquire what measures have been
adopted by those constituted guardians Of
the peace, the police to correct such dis
graceful state of affairs, and why in certain
sections of the city where crime is being
constantly perpetrated rowdies and ruffiana
ply their nefarious trade unmolested. We're
the police to do their duty fearlessly and
honestly thieves and murderers would soon
find New York an uncongenial place, and
would be compelled to seek other cities less
dangerous to them. A thorough reorganiza-
ton of the force, commencing with the COM
missioners, is desirable.
toward Kidding the great metropolis of
America of the horde of rufians that prowl
around it at night. There is little use in
going back few years to the investigation
of crimes which have either been forgotten
or at least are replaced in the public mind
by offences equally heinous and more recent.
The Nathan and Rogers murders, terrible
though they were, have their counterparts
within the past few months. The cases of
Noe and other victims of burglars are stilE
fresh in the police records and the Commits
sion of the Legislature might turn their
minds toward such subjects and attain mora
satisfactory results than by investigating
crimes of less recent date. The evidence
of the terrible crimes committed within the
last three months-and they are many and
easily ascertained in regard to authorship
can be at once ascertained by the Legislative
committee. 1t is not difficult for interested
parties to conceal the traces of completely
with crime or equally criminal negligence on
the part of the supposed guardians of the
peace, when the criminal calendar of a few
years back is alone investigated. There ara
scenes of murder, violence and robbery
chronicled every day, and the Commissioners
need not consult other data than the daily
papers for month past to convince Them
selves of the utter incapacity of the present
police force to deal with criminals as the pub
lie would desire.

There is no use taking halfway measures
in work of this kind. 1t is just as easy to
prove that Tilden is the partner of Tweed, in
creature of the old Tammany Ring, as it is
to make the country believe that he is not
sincere in his efforts to break the Canal Ring,
and that in his war upon theTammany Ring
he did not act from the highest spirit Of
patriotism, regarding the good of the people
as OF more consequence than the success of
