ESSEX COUNTY.

correspondence OF the Richmond Dispaich.I
The spring term OF the Circuit Court for
this circuit (the Ninth) was held at the
county-seat, Tappahannock, beginning on
Wednesday the 1st, and continuing four
days. A lorge amount OF business was be-
fore the Court, comprising one hundred
and seventy.eight chancery and twenty
eight common-law cases.
Two important cases occupied most OF
the time of the court-one OF which irl-
volyed the question of title to all oyster
front on the river; the other, Taylor rs.
Fire and Marine Insurance Company, for
amount of policy of $1,000, being insur-
ance on store and goods. The defence
charged fraud, and the trial resulted III
hung jury.
The wheat crop throughout this county
is seriously affected with rust, which made
its appearance several weeks since. SO far
it has only attacked the blade, and hopes
are entertained by the farmers that al
though short crop will necessarily result,
it will not be total failure, as might have
been expected had the stalk been attacked
SO early as well as the blade. ~
Complaining is generally over, and the
hot weather, with frequent and heavy rains,
has brought most OF it up in an unusually
short time. The favorable season OF late
has forced the oat and grass crops ahead,
and they are looking promising. The gar"
dens, from the stimulus just above named,
are also very promising. .
Should the wheat crop prove failure in
this section it would be heavy blow to our
farmers, many Of whom, under the impress
sion that there would be a general European
war, bought largely Of fertilizers last fall for
that crop, to be paid foron s'crop time"
and the prospect OF low prices and short
crops must be very disastrous. OMEGA.

Light.

We have been careful to put before our
readers every piece Of information that has
come under our eye concerning expert
ments with regard to the electric light. we
incline to the opinion that gas will soon give
place to this light. Experiments have
established the fact that streets can be more
perfectly Illuminated with electricity than
with Gas, and at much less expense. The
application OF this. superior light to print
ing.ofices and large manufactures is GER
tainty not far in the future. Some improve
ments in the apparatus that are needed for
such purpose will assurediy be made.

a m erican Anti-IIsury Society.

This is one Of. the organizations into
which are divided those demons OF discard
who are just now exploiting their mad
ideas. This society has Just deliberated ID
New York. Il is one OF the hydra-heads
OF the Labor-Reform League. Its members
have lust reached the solid ground that I" all
claws securing the repayment OF money
.sloans or the interest .thereupon should
ant once be abrogated." Of course this is
the worst OF tbieyiDg. II is worse than
piracy, because the pirate takes his life in
his hands and perils that to win the goods
he coYets. The New York Times makes
an accurate description OF the real objective
point OF . this INDUSTRIOUS organization, as
we'll as OF other combinations with less
startling names, as follows:
The OBJECTIVE point Of the Society, as a
achols, appears to be a millennium. n. tohach
there shall be a currency Of unlimited Uot-
anae, arlsicA shall be got ,oathout ta6or, tent
aeithout interest, and borrowed aosthoat
thought of repayment" ".
Admirable! People OF Virginia, kno"
YOU not such men? Are they the men you
would approve? Are they the men whose
philosophy and morality would promote
your peace and prosperity and content
ment. You want the. peace OF life and
mind and heart that can only now from
order. Industry, and honesty. Alb, you
haye experience enough to know that no
thing that promotes any virtue, public or
private, can possibly proceed from counsels
that advise faithlessness, public aud PR.
yate, as means to self-respect and social
credit and happiness.
This mad Society dreams not at all OF the
social structure and philosophy. They only
blundered into that ultimatum to which the
doctrines OF the mad politicians OF the day
inevitably lead.

The proiane and filthy people who seem

Labor-Reiorm League, which has been hold
ing its convention in this city for the past
two days, are of no possible consequence.
even in the eyes OF the public; nor are
their speeches OF any interest to the
public except as showing how little
these raying agitators are to be feared.
It is more than most OF them can do
even to break into the newspapers, and
their widest flights OF revolutionary nom
sense cannot earn so much rs glance from
the eye of Government. 1t may be that
dangers Turk in our great cities, OF which
we do not yet know the full extent, and that
the Commune is trying to get its mobs to-
gether for actual service. But the Ameri-
can Labor Reform League will never do any
fighting. One Of its members believes that
fifteen minutes should be the extent of q
days labor, and another that more than
four hours toll is slavery. People who are
SO sorely afraid OF hard work as these lazy
ranters will never get up a revolution
Neao York Tribune.
These people, who are not eXtravagantly
represented by the Tribune, can hardly find
sympathy in a single Virginia mind. They
are engaged in the labor OF disturbance and
disorder. They want nothing like order,
but would raise the howl OF triumph over
social suffering and calamity. How can the
Virginia farmer-the intelligent, generous,
and humane man-tolerate the idea that he
should be for moment the companion OF
such beings in the business Of impairing
public virtue, public honor, and private
peace, integrity, and contentment3 Not at
all. 1t is but sufficient that the voice Of
#sedition aud destructiyeness shall be raised
