COST OF LABOR

With the appointments to a dairy, the
cost of labor remains to be considered
No dairyman can lay claim to Cunning
or keenfiess, or can manage his estab-
lishment upon sound business principles,
who does not know what himself and
his cows are doing, and no one can know
who throscs in his time howto figure out a
questionable profit.
In the more than one thousand indus
tries of this brief and busy life, not one
imposes harder work, or more hours of
labor, or more days Of toll, than that of
a farmers, and turking his time into
money, or its equivalent value, Is a COM
mercial feature of his industry, which
lies at the base of his success. The Ia
Dor, and the cost of that labor, is an es-
sential condition in dairy economy.

DEPRECIATIyE VALUE.

By the premises assumed, when a COW
has passed the turn" from butter TO
beet, her value has lessened from so. 90
to $4,000, one eighth Of which, or 81 25,
is to be debited, each year, from four
years old to twelve, in which she was
making butter, and this must be added
to the interest upon the first cost of COW,
or the owner is $1,000 out of pocket
In truth, the difference is oftener more
than ten dollars, thar less.

Uniustihable Assault.

The Valley Virginian of week before
last having stated, in an editorial article,
that Maj. Marshall Hanger had changed
his position upon the subject of the
State debt, the Spectator of last week,
in accordance with the request of Major
Hanger and in his own language, pub
lished the substance of his remarks at
Greenville on that subject. 'f'Na.f
The Vsrginidn of last week, instead OF
combining itself to defense of the state
ment it had made, INDUCED, without
the "shadow of a shade" of provocation
or justification, in a gratuitous :and Ii
belous assault upon the Spectator. What
motive prompted it, we are unable to
understand. We have RETAINED from
making the Spectator a medium of per-
sonal controversy, and will continue to
do so. The Spectator cannot be injured
by such .unjustifable assaults. They
can injure only the paper that is guilty
of such wrong in the estimation OF all
sensible and right-thinking people,.
The course Of the Virginta'e has been
such as to render it powerless to injure
the character of any other journal by
adverse criticism. 1t is not its censure,
but its praise, that is to be dreaded.
The Spectator cannot be diver ted
from pursuing the even tenor of its
way" in what it may conceive to be the
path of right and duty by anything the
Valley Vrginia,a, or any other journal
NAV saw.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1877.
The Issue Of To-day.

This is the day of the election, and we
hope that it will res ult in the election
of those who will, by their course in the
Legislature, protect the honor and good
name of the County and State. The is
sue is between those who would stand
by the, pledged faith of the State and
those who would evade the payment OF
an honest debt. The debt is an honest
one. and the State is deriving every day
the benefit of the improvements made
with the money borrowed, and this
County has received and is yearly re-
ceiying more benefit than any other
from the annual appropriations to its
public Institutions, and for this county
to vote for candidates who would evade
the payment to the creditors Oft the mon
ey honestly due to them, and for which
the faith of the State is solemnly pledg'
ed. would be discreditable to this good
old County, whose good name and fame
should be dear to each of its citizens.
The candidates on what is known as
the seawright, or re-adjusters, ticket,
are respectable citizens, for whom, per-
sonally, we have great respect and kind
ly feelings, but they are unfortunately
on the wrong side of the issue, and thei
erroneous positions should not be en-
dorsed by election by the voters of thil
county. Voters should not allow thei
personal friendship for the gentlemen
on that ticket to influence them to vot
for them, and thus endorse the polio.

STRANGE, BUT TRUE.-One day last
week a deer was chased from the noun.
tain into Jackson's river, closely follow
ed by pack of hounds. The deer cross
ed the river and jumped into a field
near by, belonging to A. T. Stephenson
Esq. A small mischievsus mule was
grazing in the field, and as soon as he
spied the deer, took up the chase, fol.
lowed it closely until the fence on the
opposite side was reached. which the
deer attempted to clear, but failed and
fell to the ground, whereupon the mule
struck it with its fore feet and held ii
there until the dogs came up and cap
tured it. The feat was witnessed by
several respectable gentlemen of Jack
sons river, who will testify to the fact.

A LADY ATTACKED BY Docs AMT
BADLY TORN AND BITTEN.-We learn
that yesterday afternoon, while Miss
Mary Johnson, residing in the eastern
portion of the city, was on her way to
visit her sister, Mrs. Tatum, near the
Crater farm, she was attacked and very
badly bitten by three dogs in the neigh.
borhOod. The flesh of her arms, neck
back and breast was SO badly torn, and
her injuries are SO severe, that her con.
ditiOn is feared to be critical. She was
still alive last evening, however. But
fer the assistance rendered her, it is
probable she would have been killed on
the spot, and the dogs had to be slain te
make them desist from the attack.
Miss johnson is lady between forty.
five and fifty years Of age.

lection of material for the history Of the
war between the States, and that their
Monthly has come to be regarded as the
highest Confederate authority on all
questions pertaining to the war. The
report alludes to Confederate documents
in the archives bureau at Washington,
and insists that the time has come when
they should be opened to seekers after
the truth. fo
The orator of the evening, Gen. John
7. Morgan, United States Senator from
Alabama, spoke on the relations of the
people of the South to the peace of 1877.
He insisted that the peace Of 1895 was
violated by Congress in the reconstruc-
ton measures, which were simply fierce
war on the constitution, until the peace
of 1877 dawned on the land. He spoke
Of the cause of the South, and insisted
that the people of the South will keep
every pledge they have made, and will
never violate the terms of the people of
1877,

r. B. Hayes on the Debt OF Virginia.

We desire to call the attention of our
readers to the speech of President Hayes,
delivered at the Fair Grounds in Rich
mond last Wednesday, full report of
which will be found in another column.
We consider it speech that will be
worth millions of dollars to Virginia.
But at this particular time we desire
more especially to call attention to the
following language of the President in
regard to the State debt. After speak
ing in glowing terms of the advantages
Virginia offers to the immigrant, he
said: "- a.
"But, says some one, they are dread
fully taxed in Virginia. They are now
divided over there about the debt, as
they say. Are you heavily taxed?
am not here to discuss before you local
questions. I do not mean to drop a
word to tell on which side may be-
Laughter. 1 will say this You are
not as heavily taxed as where I live in
Ohio. I will say this also: That take
your State debt and add to it all the
other public debts of cities and coun-
lies of the State, and I think, upon the
whole, that Virginia is not heavily in
debt" -- JOY -''' t
Though the President disclaims any
intention of taking sides in our local
questions, yet it is plain to be seen upon
which side he would be were he a citi-
zen of Virginia. Verbuns sap, oh We re.
pudiating office-holders but "whom
the gods wish to destroy they first make

Meeting of the Synod Of Virginia.

The Synod of Virginia will me ct this
evening in the Union Presbyterian
church in Alexandria of which Rev.
DR.. Bullock is Pastor, and will be open
ed with sermon by the last Moderator,
Rev. Henry G. Alexander, D. D., OF
"UnionTheological Seminary" Theter-
ritory included within the bonds of. this
Synod, says the Alexandria Gazette,
covers the whole State of Virginia and
West Virginia, and the Synod also ex-
tends its jurisdiction over the churches
in Maryland which are connected with
the "Prebytery of Chesapeake" If all
the ministers and elders of the entire
Synod should be present there would be
between $50 and 500 members. There
will probably be present about 200 mem
bers, more than half of whom will be
ministers, and the remainder, ruling
elders. Among the ministers are some
of the ablest and most distinguished in
whole Presbyterian Church, men who
would occupy the first rank of any pro-
LESSONS in any part of the world. To
mention any by name might do injus-
tice to others equally able and deserving.
Among the ruling elders there are al
ways present at these Synodical meet
ings goodly number of able and eff.
cient members who add greatly to the
delight and interest of the body. The
Synod usually remains in session foul
or five days. The sessions are open tc
all who may desire to attend. The dis.
cussions are generally of great int rest
and are marked by ability, correctness,
and courtesy. The evenings are usual
ly devoted to preaching by members Of
the body, or to some kind of religious
service. Two subjects Of great interest
will be brought before the Synod fol
consideration 1.-THE Division of the
Synod" and the case of DR.. E. T. Baird
the late Secretary of Publication. Both
, subjects will doubtless elicit able anC
earnest discussion. Many of the goot
people of Alexandria, outside of thu
Presbyterian Churches, have opened
+ their houses to entertain members o
the Synod, and doubtless others of on
f liberal minded people, ifoccasion shoult
require it, will do the same, thereby
maintaining the past reputation of thi
, ancient city for liberality. DIR. Alexan
: der, who will preach the opening ser
t mon, is one of the most learned and ex
D tensively read men in this country, ant
! belongs to a family of distinguishes
: preachers. His father, the late DR.
D James w. Alexander, for many year

' pit, and was one of the most accom-
' plished scholars in this country. Hi

e DIR. Archibald Alexander, was in man,
Y respects the most remarkable ministe
}, of his time, and did more to mould tn

IS ministry, in this country, than any ma
