LOCAL MATTERS.

RAIERoAD INCIDENT.-At the Blacksturg
mine, on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
near Charleston, W. Va, there is some dis
agreement between the miners and their en-
ployers. Saturday about 700 miners from
different mines near Charleston went to
Blacksburg and caused a cessation OF work.
They went on steamer, and many Of them
returned on railroad train. They did not,
however (as has been represented in some
northern and western papers), "seize" the
train. They simply got On it and refused
ss te epnose them etV aeeensd p1M tSc
situation. The train arrived at its destna-
tion on time and was not injured.
Accounts which reached the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad Company's office in this
city yesterday represent that there have
been no further disturbances at Blacksburg,
but the mine there has not resumed work.

HARvEsT.-The fields OF wheat in some
localities near the city have ripened unto
harvest, and reaping began in them yester-
day, and by Monday all the farmers in this
vicinity will be busy with their reapers.
This is from six to ten days earlier than
usual, and probably from four to five days
earlier than for twenty years past. The
Weld is much better than was anticipated
three weeks since, and the acreage sown
being greater than last year, the quantity
secured will not be much less than the last
crop; but the quality Of the grain may not
be so good as then, owing to the blade-rust
which attacked the growing crop about a
month ago.

Mckenzie ON Tobacco
LCourler Journal.l


Representative Mckenzie, of the
Second Kentucky district, made an
elaborate and weighty argument in
favor of the repeal of the tobacco
tax, in the House, a few days ago.
He argued that tobacco, supplying
want among all classes, could not
he called a luxury; that the restric-
tion of the Revised Statues which
depriVeS the producer of the right
to sell to other than licensed dealers
j. of doubtful cOnstitutiOnality. In
order To secure the privilege of sell
ling his crop or any part of it to any
other than certain classes specified ,
the planter is required to pay to the
Government a special tax of $500,
and if his annual sales exceed 81 900,
he has to pay, in addition, fifty
cents for every dollar of his sales in
excess of 81, 900. In other words,
Congress prohibits the cultivator
and owner of an agricultural pro-
duct from selling it i'm open market
to anybody who will pay him the
best price for it, for the purpose,
Mr.. Mckenzie argued, of COmpell-
ing the whole product to go through
a manufacturing process before used
by the people, which subjects it to
a very heavy rate of taxation. Such
a tax as this imposed ON the produ-
GERS of tobacco would not he permit
ted on corn, wheat, rye, apples, bar
ley, peaches, etc. Yet the largest
portion of the tobacco tax is paid by
men with an annual income under
$500. Mr.. Mckenzie showed that
the tax had caused the withdrawal
from business of several thousand
dealers in leaf and manufactured
tobacco, entailing a corresponding
decrease in the revenue, and that a
reduction would injure no one eX-
cept the mon0polist.

Hell?

The Memphis Appeal condenses
the whole thing in a few words
thus:
The shell OF our fathers" is crea-
ting no little discussion in theOlOgi-
cal circles up North at present. In
this city people are satisfied with
the old plan of salvation and dam
nation, because they believe they
might go farther and fare worse.
What's the use in discussing a thing
you can know nothing about until
it is too late either to retrace your
steps or TO give information to those
who are following. The theOlOgi-
cal agony should ease up, and those
considering it should ponder over
the following story: "a young man
once went to a country place to be
examined for the position of school
teacher. a careful committeeman
said, Young man, do you larn the
children that the world is round or
fiat - This was leading question,
but the young man got the school
by saying that he taught either
way, according to the taste of
parents. So it must be with the
young preachers who expect to
thrive and be sent to Europe for
sore throat. They must be willing
to let those be damned who Insist
upon it i; and they must be ready to
talk of a comfortable hereafter for
the benefit of those who think they
find trouble enough In this world"
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1878-03-02

Young men often fail to get along
in this world because they neglect
small opportunities. Not being
faithful in little things, they are not
promoted to the charge of greater
things.
A young man who gets a subordi
nate situation sometimes thinks it
is not necessary for him to give it
much attention. He will wait till
he gets a place of responsibility,
and then he will show people what
he can do do. This is a very bad
mistake. Whatever his situation
may be he should master it in all
its details, and perform all its duties
faithfully.
The habit of doing his work
thoroughly and conscientiously is
what is most likely to enable a
young man to make his way. With
this habit a person of ordinary abil-
tiles would Outstrip one of greater
talents who is in the habit of slight
ing subordinate matters.
But after all, the mere adoption
by young man of this great essen
tial rule of success, shows him to be
possessed of superior abilities.

The present financial issue is, in
reality, upon the question of the
payment of debts. Indeed, there is
no other issue involved in the bust
ness. Men who sold goods or loaned
money at greenbacks now want to
be paid in gold. The whole ques-
ton is very simple and very easily
understood. Resumption means
that the poor man who borrowed
money or bought property at green
back values will be compelled to
pay his debts in gold values. This
is the secret of the enthusiasm of the
mOnometalists. 1t would be well
enough if resumption meant only
the bare fact of bringing greenbacks
up to the value of gold, but resump-
ton means the bringing of every
debt to gold value. When, there
fore, we say that the country is not
prepared for resumption, we mean
that the debtors are not in a condi-
ton to sustain a measure which adds
a per cent. to their indebtedness and
increases their poverty. This is
what resumption means.-Ndshrilte

Millions of Drinks.

A recent Richmond, Va, letter
says: "The statistics of the opera
tions of the MOffett register in Rich
mond for four and a half months
have just been published. From
the middle of September to the first
of February the people of Richmond
took 1865 alcoholic and 706,676
malt drinks. That was what was
reported by registers. 1 think that
we may safely rely upon the current
belief that One-third more are taken
by persons who bought in large
quantities for home use, and only
sold by dealers who neglected or
forgot to turn the crank. Accord
ing to the official figures, we take
100000 drinks per annum. Ac-
cording to my theory, 5,330,O00. l
believe we have 10000 voters. The
allowance per annum is 408 drinks
per voter, or, if the population is TO-
900, rs drinks per annum for every
man, woman and child"

Messrs. Cnas. G. Smith, 4. O..
G0OdIet and others Gentlemen:
The communication of the Clarks-
Vile Bar, requesting me to become
a candidate for the office of a Judge
of the Supreme court, reached me
this morning. | am profoundly
gratified at this evidence of your
good opinion, and by the very kind
language in which you have eX-
pressed your wishes, the more so
because | really commenced my ac-
tive judicial life, as special Chan
cellor, in your city. The office to
which your partiality would assign
me is, as you well say, "the high
est position that can be bestowed by
the people," and at the same time
the most labOriOus and the most
responsible. To your request l can
only say, that if it be the wish of
the people of the State, expressed
through the convention, TO be called
for the purpose Of nominating can
didates for the Supreme Court, and
ct the ballOt-bOX, that l should
serve them as one of the Judges of
the Court, il will be both duty
and II pleasure to yield to their wish
t.. With high regard, very truly.
w. +. COOPER.
