The latest swindle in the rural
districts IS for two oily-tongued
fellows to call upon farmer osten-
sibly to obtain statistics for the ag-
ricultural bureau. They remain for
dinner, or over night, and insist on
paying for the accommodation fur
nished them, when they pass a
counterfeit bill upon their host and
receive good money in exchange.

Cheers Indeed!

DR.. CURRY, in his address ut the High
School on Wednesday, expressed in his
earnest and feryid manner his pride in the
schools and the qualification they afforded
to the public. AS citizen and as tax
payer, he declared his, great satisfaction
as a taxpayer ready TO bear his share OF the
burthcns OF taxation to continue the schools
and maintain the public honor, adding
with energy that be would be willing
to see his taxes multiplied several times
to pay the debt OF Virginia and lit herout
OF her troubles. He was applauded with an
earnestness and unanimity seldom equailed
in public assembly. Such applause shows
the spirit Of the people OF Richmond d. They
pay heavier taxes than any other people IN
the State, and they pay well; sud they
would be too happy II their fellow-eifizens
elsewhere would join them ia re s,l e 1l
the good, name and fame OF the dear old
Commopgeaith. They know that the loss
Of good name brings poverty indeed, and
they SO value that name that they are ready
TO fulfil their public fealty TO the extreme OF
patriotic duty rather than linger in the
shame and degradation Of public dishonor,
The sentiment uttered BIZ Dr. CURRY will find
hearty applause everywhere In Richmold.

PROSPECT. VA, June II, 1878.
In this section of the country, where to-
bacco is the moneyed crop, the people (gen-
orally professional men az well as farmers)
all feel much interest in the prospect for
plants. Very strangely, the farmers have
made great mistake in estimating the
number OF plants in the patches. After
drawing very sparingly. they find them
selves at this late day, when the crop should
have been pitched, without plants to finish
the small surface they had laid off to cuti-
waite. Worse than the loss of plants, it's to be
regretted that many of the farmers have lost
their energy. They have become dispir-
tied In other words, ''let down." While it
is disbeartening to people to toll hard the
year round, and when their crops are sold
not enough is left them to pay their guano
bills and taxes, it does no good to repine.
We must work on and hope for better times.
Evil, and only evil, can result in giving up.
The wheat; crop has come out astonish-
ingly. Many fields that few weeks ago
were considered hopeless will now yield
handsomely. The ,hail-storm that passed a
few days ago damaged the wheat very
much on the northern edge OF this county,
and also in the southern portion OF Buck
ingham. si.5,.g ri. = H go.

The Scapegoat.

1t is plain that Senator MATTHEWS is the
selected scapegoat. We see it in the leading
Republican presses. The New York Times
assured Mr.. MATTHEWS several days ago
that he must stand or fall by his act; the
Republican party could not take him on its
back. And now the New York Tribune
says bis explanation is not at all helpfut to
him. To this the Tribune adds remark
which must wound the Ohio Senator to the
Quick. 1t informs Mr.. MATTHEWS that
"Jesuitry in politics-the doing OF evil that
"good may come-will not be excused by
Republicans" .~,.....-.
Think OF that, Q, Senator from O. Think,
too, OF your earnest efforts to hide tie re-
turning-board scandals and villainies OF the
"count D.; and then think that instead OF
being needed in your warning and rewarded
for your anxious devotion you are to Resent
away to the woods, bearing the party sins
upon your back, with the consoling assu-
rance at parting that Republicans cannot
excuse the doing OF evil that good may come
of It'll This must fill the cup OF the Sena:
tors remorse to overlooking.
We really sympathize heartily with MIR.
MATTHEW'S. In our opinion he is the-best
man in his party. We feel so earnestly for
him that we would whisper in his ear, If
we could be near him, way to be revenged
upon his prosecutors. Aswe cannot in this
private way convey our hint to him, we
will print it:
Very many years ago, when military dis
ciplne bore the stamp OF the rlgor OF Inc
STERN old FREDERICK OF Prussia, the genius
of that discipline reigned in the garrison OF
the Public Guard of Virginia, under the
starch and unbending CAPTAIN BOILING,
who commanded it at that time. His pun
ishments were sharp and orderly. To ride
the wooden horse was a recognized Tetribl-
ton, and drumming out of the service was
mild and sentimental mode OF disgrace.
One day a somewhat undutiful and mo-
rose private had misbehaved in manner
which the Captain decided united him Tor
longer association with bis brother-soldiers,
and he was therefore ordered to be drum
med out OF the service.
In the afternoon he was seen sullenly step
ming out before the drummer and ffer and
a guard of" soldiers to the tune Of the
"Rogue's March" along the main street Of
Richmond. Crowds -beheld him. as he
marched to MAYo's bridge, and many fol-
lowed him to the southern abutment Of that
highway. 4
There the guard and musicians "abeut
wheeled" and commenced their return
march. The drummed-out soldier also
turned upon his heels and contemplated
his departing escort. Folding his arms
proudly, and assuming kind OF sCoRIo-
LASUs bearing, he uttered in loud voice
the following words: Well, il am not
eft to associate with such a company
ssas that what the - am tit for!"'s
Need we add q word to Mr.. MATTHEWS!

ness OF this opinion Of Mr.: t1axR by sew
eral OF his speeches and his late record.
Especially in his course on the Texas EACH
fic railroad do we think he rises above the
level OF ordinary craftsmanship. Some
months since, in an effort to harmonic the
friends OF the southern trans.continentai
line terminating at San Diego, he offered a
bill which embraced some lines radfating
from the main line near its eastern
end. 10 making this attempt he d's-
covered what he was frank in imparting to
Senator JoHNsToN-viz., that he had found
that it was impossible to carry through
Cor gress any scheme other than an inde-
pendent line from east to west, leaving to
the localities and the States the whole mat
ter OF tliverging and radiating lines for the
accommodation of the localities. In his
brief speech OF few minutes, in reply to
Senator JOHNSTON, he completely s"eyapo-
rated" that Senator's argument. AS a
friend said, he seemed with a, wave OF the
hand to brush away the cobwebs which the
Virginia Senator had hung upon the wall,
leaving that clean and unstained. rn
What was particularly admirable IN MI.
LAMAR was his utter reputation OF personal
considerations and his disdain for them.
His sense. OF duty TO his State, TO his ma
ton, impelled him to rise above questions
of individual or neighborhood interests,
and he went to the grand subject OF the
Southern. trans-continental road as a proud
and pure man who was determined IN
