ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1876.

The Town AND ITS ENTERPNlsE.-lhe un-
swering vlgur with which the people OF Alex
apdria have strained every sincw to grasp op-
portunitles Of improving the commerce o! the
town is monument to its enterprise, which,
however much success may be delayed, must
teach those who think before they speak that
of all accusations thai are sometimes made
against the town, that Of want OF enterprise,
is the most groundleSs.
We have heretofore noted the immense sub
scrlptions to the Chesapeake and Ohio, aud
the Alexandria Canals. The first fruits OF the
canal were not what was expected, and 1t was
seen that many years Gust elapse before the
full development ct the resources opened up
by that great work could be made. AT once
the towa turned It's attention IN the direction
of railroad enterprises, aud Tor years stinted
not OF its means or It's credit to obtain all the
facilities that the construction of such works
could afford.
Retrocession was accomplished 10 1917, aud
the commonwealth If Virginia assumed three
ffths of the iuternal improvement debt OF
Alexardrla, and took VI $272 900 of the caosl
subscription. At once railroad enterprises TO
the southwest to the valley of Virginia, aud
to the northwest we're projected. For time
these projects, with the limited meaps at the
command of the toWr, sccucd only dreams, but
they were set Oh foot and are now 10 good part
accomplished by the liberal contributions OF
the towu and the energy Of It's CITIZENS 10 at
tracing aid from abroad.
la lS49 the town made subscription OF

road. La 1850 II subscribed Sl5O OOD to the
Manassas ciip Railroad. 1G 1851 it subscribed
$4,000 towards the construction OF works to
suroy he town with water. 10 1858 1t sub
seribe.l $50. OOy nure 10 the Orange aud Alex
an lrja Railroad. In 1851 100000 more was
sub crlbed,to the Manassas Gap Railroad, and
when il was found that the unbouoded enter
prise of the towD had so affected it, credit that
its bonds had sunk too far below par to be re
ceived for the subscription, the people, by a
vote, authorized a subscription 10 cash, and
the iowa with wild enterprise that Is simply
amazing paid nearly 100000 sddl.lonal to
render the first subscription or 100000 avail
able. Besides this, 10 order not 10 be behind
the times. the town spent large sum 10 build,
ing gas works. The Alexandria, L)udouo and
Hampshire road Washington and Ohio) was
constructed without public aid by munlhce ut
private subscriptions, aud its creation and It's
progress have been due mainly TO citizens OF
Alexandria A small Alexandria company first
constructed the Alex ndria and Washington
Railroad. Thus up 10 the period of the war
the town of Alexandria had made subscriptions
to works Of Internal Improvement as follows:

DRMOCRATIC VICTORY IN ALA
Rama.

The election for State officers and
members of the Legislature came off
on the 9th inst, being the LIST Mon
day in August. The result was
$4,000 majority by the Democratic
party, which is a large gain over
tho election two years ago. We
are now satisfied that Alabama will
seat o Democratic Senator in Con-
gress, and thel efore Calls well that
ends. WELL" We are heartily glad
to know that our sister State, after
having such q hard struggle and
fighting so gallantly has achieved
such glorious victory; having Won
the first battle in the Presidential
campaign. All honor to Alabama,
and let Mississippians be encour-
aged to go Oh in the good work
earnestly and honestly. Tho vote
of this State may decide the Presi-
dental election, and this thought
should stir up the lukewarm and
arouse the energy of every Demo
cratic voter to be jealous workers
in the great cause Of reform. We
hope to see the admirers of Tilden
and Hendricks work together in one
mighty effort, which may be effectual
and worthy of the great principles
of WHICH they are the representa-
tIyes.

Mr.. Schurz is either grossly de-
ceived himself or only seems SO in
order to grossly deceive others. In
either case 1 must be sorry for him,
and in neither case can [ follow
him. And an, glad to be met by
the most unmis akable evidence
that the same spirit ahimates thOus
ands of others who, like myself,
formerly followed Mr.. Schurz's lead.
Especially is this the case " it'll the
Germsn-American element of our
republic. l know from tho most
careful examination that one hun
dred:: aid .ven.y-seven Germ
papers in all parts of the country,
or over t.cO thirds Of all in number,
and nine fenths in real circu alton
and influence, are to-day supporting
not the candidate of Mr.. S,:hurz,
but Tilden and Hendricks! In
fact, the number of such news
papers which support Hayes and
Wheeler is only sixty-elght. The
great majority Of the Germans of
tho Union do not stand behind Mr..
Schurz /; they stand against him.
Of all the able representative Ger
mans, Mr.. Schurz is almost the only
one who does not support Tillen
and reform. The unhOly alliance
between Mr.. Schurz and the "ma
chine" politicians will be truitless
SO far as the Germans are concern
ed. They love the country of their
adoption too much to wish cOntin-
uatiOn of the present era of shame
and disgrace; They want q thorough
national house cleaning, want new
hands in high places, want reform ;
and their good instinct leads them
to expect the vital changes SO sorely
needed for national honor from
the man who stands today as the
foremost practical RetOrmer of the
republic who. regardless of party
has purified the most corr upt Gov
ernment of the first city IF the
Western world and the first Sia'e
of the Union, and utterly annihil-
ated the most gigantic organiza
tons for public plumber that eve:
existed until Grants associates set
up q greater one.

BARBECUE At GOODMAN.

The barbecue at Goodman, oil
Saturday last, was great success,
the crowd numbering between six
and seven hundred people, while
the table was literally covered with
the "good things" prepared by the
whole-souled Drmocs ats of Holmes
for the great "Unterrified."
We need not say that many of
our colOred friends were present,
for no county IN poll 30 heavy a
democratic vote without embracing
in it's fold its cO;Ored citizens.
After the raising of the Til,len
and Hendricks flag, amid enthusias-
tic cheerlngs and the loud roar of
cannon, the crowd wendell their
way to the shady grove prepared
tor the exercises.
T. T. Singleton VAS first intro
duced by Capt. Burkrnrosd, and
handsomely entertained the crowd
for forty minutes.
Col. II. ID. Money followed in a
very effective speech, placing before
the people the work Of the sO-called
''CUnfederate Congress" i'm reducing
the expenses Of the Government,
and in revealing and up roofing the
corruption 50 prevalent III our
National Capital. Col. Money is
already actively engaged in the
canvass, dealing effective blows
wherever a Republican head shows
itself Mississippi can not afford to
lose his presence in Congress, and
we trust that he may be triumphant
ly returned. receiving even Il hand
sOmer majority than he received at
last November election.
The speech of the occasion, how
ever, was that made by Major II. s.
Foote, who held the unwaveiing at
tention of his audience for over an
hour while he poured hot shot into
the Republican party. While he is
always equal to ali emergency, on
this occasion there seemed to be an
inspiration in the air or the sur
roundings that took complete CON
troll of him and gave an unusual
brilliancy to his utterances OH this
occasion. He especially directed
his remarks to the colored voters
present, showing them that Lee and
his brnther carpet baggers had left
Holmes forever that AS there was
NO cause for disagreement between
the white and cOlored people of the
county, they dwell together in bro
therly live and vote together.
This line of argument seemed to
strike the colored people very fOrci-
bly,. and their replies of "That's sn,"
aud 'sYea, Lord" showed that the
seed planted by the orators hand
had fallen upon good ground.
After the dinner, enjoyed by both
white and black alike, the Club met,
aud e. L. Ross was called for. His
speech wound mp the days exercises
Holmes is already kindling her
camp, fires, her sons are already
on their armour, while her
fair daughters are cheering them
Oh to the great political battle to be
fought in November. Let not Mad
iSOu lag behind.
