Unbarden The Yankees.

The National Banking Combination
Of New York is flooding the country
with petitions for signatures asking
congress to repeal the so-called WAR
Tax" on the banks. The petitions are
SO worded as to capture the unsuspect-
ing and bring powerful district in
fuence to bear upon representatives. in
congress. The tax is called the last
relic of the war; IS characterized as
burthensonle beyond measure, and its
effect is to increase the discount rate
which the people have to pay &c. All
Of which is mere bosh. Il il be a war
relic, the national banks are also war
relics. Again, while the government
exacts her one per cent Of revenue. the
government pays these same banks
interest on capital stock IN gold, besides
supplying 30 per cent of currency upon
which they realize eight to twelve per
cent. by loans and discounts.
Let our people, before signing such
petitions, and our congressman before
needing them. reflect that the debt
which we are taxed to pay is a war
relic that Virginia pays seven millions
annually from her scanty store to pay
interest GA this war relic that these
national banking relics are Withholding
from her people the benefit Of local
banking currency by prohibitory ten
per cent tax on State banks of issue !;
that the relief which such states as Viz
ginia ROW need is the repeal of this
prohibitory tax on their own
institutions, and that their next interest
is in taxing national banks, and all
taxable subjects that preponderate
North and East, to the highest possible
limit.
Virginia now pays more revenue taxes
than the six New England states while
Massachusetts, National Banks hold 80
millions Of the currency and Virginia
banks millions. Let our people
ponder these things before being further
duped into schemes for relieving the
yankee at their own expense.

WOODSTOCK, VIRGINIA.
Thursday February 4. 1877.
strasburg VS. The Railroad.

The old fight between the town Of
>trasburg and the B. & O. R. +. is
going on in the Legislature. The contest
is over resolution which passed the
House thee years ago. and which then
failed in the Senate, to instruct the
Attorney General to institute proceed
iags to compel compliance with the
charter, or forfeit the franchises Of the
company. Judge Allen rcintroduccd
the resolution last winter and the COM
mittee reported it adversely. This
winter he has tried it again with better
results. 1t Is now On the House
calendar on favorable report, and will
likely pass that body. We understand
the railroad company were represented
taere by counsel who now propose to
compromise by building depot near
the centre Of Strasbmg and running all
trans to it; and, further, that the
authorities Of the town have indicated
that they will be satisfied with this.
The company never had any right to
construct the road to any other point
than Stasburg, and it is only Just to the
people,there that they should be compell-
ed to cure the wrong done them. We
occasionally hear some bigoted ass talk
about the relative cost Of running the
railroad to Strasburg and moving Stras-
burg to the railroad. The question is
not one Of dollars and cents-the
standard by which too many men
measure their scruples-but it Is one of
fine right Of corporations to violate
charters whether they have right to
franchises obtained under false pretenses;
whether the state will enact for the
special benefit of her people, and then
allow foreign corporation to ignore
both the state and people. Neither is
the question affected by the cost of
building the road to Strasburg. The
charter says the road shall run to Stras-
burg. The company accepted the
charter with this condition, and if it
cost twice as much to 90 10 Strasbtlrg as
. 10 run to the junction the obligation to
90 there was none the less binding.
Their remedy was in an amended
charter, an application for which would
have given both sides a chance to be
heard.
Virginia owes it to her people to
protect them il their every interest
against entertainments and inpositions
by corporations. We have no other
authority to look to. The corporations
have Us at every disadvantage in means
for litigation. ard, unless the state will
interpose hey power as the creator Of
corporations, there is little hope that
railroads will long subserye the end for
which they were designed, chartered
and constructed. Almost all the other
states are now exercising a Jealous
supervision in respect to many other
matters than the mere compliance with
charters.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1877-02-01
Wait A Week.

This day the work Of electing a presi-
dent is begun in Washington. Both
houses OF congress having passed the
compromise bill, the five committeeman
from each branch andifye justices of the
Supreme Court WILL meet in some
chamber of the capital building to de-
termine the questions, whether Tilden
OF Hayes shall be President, and wheth-
er Hendricks or Wheeler shall be Vice
President.
What the decision Of this National
Returning Board will be is not tc be
conjectured. We are just now as if
there had been no election by the peo-
pie for this board may find that Tilden
received a large majority ofthe popular
vote-that he received a majority of the
electoral vote. and yet it may reverse
the popular decree by Juggling in the
radical special plea Of Intimidation. :"
On any pretense whatever, it may say
Tilden or Hayes is elected, and neither
House can interpose objection. How
many questions may arise or how in
significant an one may influence the
judgment Of one or more Of these weak
creatures Of the flesh in settling party
political dispute cannot be surmised.
Therefore wait a week if you would
know certainly who are to be,the next
President and Vice President.
One thing, however, the compromise
has clearly done for US. In the debate
upon it i'll the Senate large majority
of that body cmphatically rcpudiatcd
the doctrine chat Mr.. Ferry could, under
any circumstances, have counted the
vote and declared the result. Conk-
ling and Edinunds spewed the conspira-
cy plan out of their mouths. This be-
ing their position, without the comprom-
Use bill, Tilden was sure of Inauguration.
If ne shall lose it now he will owe the
loss to his compromise friends. IF he
shall still secure it, he will but Just
have, by second election, what was
already his. Conkling and Edmunds
were too smart for even Thurman and
Bayard. They knew they could not
sustain the conspiracy plan, and that
their descent from it was Tilden's in
auguration. They prepared the allur-
ing compromise. bulldozed the calico
heads Of New York, Boston, PAiladel-
phia, Baltimore and other cities with
dread apprehensions Of bloody civil war,
shifted all responsibility from their own
shoulders, involved Tilden's Inaugural
ton in doubt enough to satisfy radical
constituents, if not to secure Hayes, and
thus they were made happy. Tilden,
who was sure Of his office, is now draw
ing lots with Hayes. Wait a week if
you would know who gets the long
straw.

Who Holds Tie straws

Readers who get ali their information
from the average daily newspaper are
not to be held to strict accounta bility
for what they mislearn. As general
thing these wonderful dailies are owned
by joint stock companies for certain
selfish purposes, and what they have to
say in the political line is supplied by
professional pin heads who scribble for
a rare steak, fried potatoes and three
beers day. The exceptions to this
rule are not many.
When these Sir Oraclcs Dramatically
assumed to say that nobody but fool
would object to the compromise they
set up all sorts Of theories Of fairness in
the constitution Of the Court umpirage.
Now the truth is, there is but one Judge
ofthe Supreme Court who was appoin-
ted as a democrat. That one is Clifford,
Of Maine. All the rest were appointed
between 1862 and 1872, by Lincoln and
Grant. Not one Of them even came in
during Andy Johnson's term. Strong.
who is pulled around as a democrat,
was put on the Bench as Pennsyl-
vania republican, when the court was
enlarged to reverse the Legal Tender
decision. If Mr.. Tiiden is given the
presidency it will be Justice at the hands
Of republicans. The joint committee
will be FIVE democrats and FIVE repub-
licans, and the court arbiters four re-
publlcans and one democrat, as far as
it is possible to arrive at the politics &c
judges.

gresS. ia passing the bill providing for

Even the Richmond Wing could hurl
a vituperatjve paragraph at Senator
Eaton Of Connecticut for voting
against the compromise. Here at home,
the Wig is superior fossil puff sheet.
1t takes the grarnies in and around the
capital merry ride every now and
then. Men whose craftsmanship is
measured by whiskey tax bills OF 'cou-
pon currency for domestic trade' are
bailooned into magnificent notoriety at
regular intervals: but Senator Eaton is
81 extremist. or worse, for daring to say
that it was the business and duty OF
congress, under the constitution. to
count the vote and declare the president.
He said he would neither dodge nor
shirk' duty imposed upon him by
the constitution. Nor has he ever done
so. He was a democrat when some
Virginians were casting about with
resolutions, to Judge General Grant
impartially By his official conduct" for
some national party" with which to
-'indentify" the conservative major
ity" of 1873. The E-hig should learn
to hold its tanlper or preserve its con,
sistency. Senator Eaton stood squarely
By the very policy which the Wing adj
vocated up TO the day the compromise
was foresladowed. The Whtg even
thought lone word ought to be stricken
from the farce convention resolutions
that cur bloody attitude might be seen
Of men abroad. Eaton had the pluck
TO pursue his constitional and legal
duty to the end without Boosting or
fear.

The Judges who are to Count the Veto.


Mr.. George Alfred Townsend. in a
letter to the New York Graphic. thus
briefly sketches four of the members of
the Supreme Court who are to assist in
counting the electoral vote:
Clifford is man stepped in reyer-
ence for the tribunal where he has pass
ed so many years. This old man,
colossal in size, weighing about or above
300 pounds, made the treaty with Mkt
co in l847. He was appointed by a
democratic administration, and is hard
ly ever heard to refer to political ques-
tons.
Judge Miller speaks pleasantly
about the new duty devolving upon
him. He IS universally regarded in
Missouri by the ex-rebels as well as by
the republicans of Iowa as the ablest
iiurist west Of the river Mississippi. BY
birth he is a kentucEian, and was once
a doctor.
Judge Field is man of stupendous
reading and information. the ablest law
yer on the Pacific side. and the peer of
anybody in the court. He is man of
ready opinions, but as judge his i'm
partiality is unquestioned.
Judge Strong IS the most judicial
looking man on the bench-of noble
head, with grey locks from his crown.
His position in Pennsylvania was Of the
highest; he is seldom heard of here ex-
cept in the legal social circle.
while many look upon Davis as the
fifth judge, some say that Conkl;ng's
appointee-Ward Hunt-would be apt
to initiate Conkling's ennopled motives
and forget the partisan in the public
officer, and that he may be the choice.
Others think that the judges will select
the easy and agreeable Bradley. who
was appointed republican, but whose
State went for Tilden by so great a
majority that he viii be evenly balanc-
ed in the Influences which environ him. :"
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1877-02-01

WHO ARE THE OPPOSITION 1.-The
Boston Journal says it has met but
three classes of republicans that oppose
the proposed commission to settle the
presidential question First, a very few
subo- dinate ofiice-holders second, a
few politicians who have aspirations for
Office ; thiro, few men who are always
IN the minority out of pure cussedness.
The business men, without distinction
Of party are cordially in favor of it.
The cry of the politicians is that s'on.y
the business men of the country favor
the electoral bill, and they do so because
they think it will benefit the industrial
and trading interests" In reply to
which The New York Herald pertinent
ly adds: Are not the industrial and
trading interests a little more important
than the question as to which set of
partisans shall enjoy the fat offices of
the government for the next four
yearssn
