ASHLAND, HANOVER COUNTY, VA, !

IhSHIlaND, INV hlt "OoNt M!
January %, 1878.
I have seen in the Richmond papers OF
the last few days what seems to be Il move
ment to put General Joseph T.. Johnston on
the track for Congress. While we all love
and honor "Old Joe," he is not the man
for Congress from this district ut this time.
We all admit that Virginia owes a debt Of
gratitude to him, and the General Assembly
should elect him Acknowledgement OF the
State, with salary OF $1,000 year. This
would support him comfortably in his de-
clining years, and show how Virginia, in
her poverty even, never forgets her cold
Guard" But for the active, live, ener-
.getic, dashing, and intelligent congressman
from this district, give us q younger man.
We do not longer " banker after" adorE-
ments. HANOVER.

How many congressman are his, equals IN

so much attention that the business OF The

General JOHNSTON seems to be candidate

STATE REPOSITORIES.
Senate resolution declaring the First Ma
tional Bank and Union Bank State deposit
tories was taken up out of order.
General ECHoLs explained that the Treas
ury was out of money; some gentlemen
had interposed to assist the State, and that
the money was in the First National Bank,
and this resolution was necessary to en-
able the officers of government to check it
out to meet urgent necessities.
The resolution was passed.
THE BARBOUR TAX BILL.
The vote>by which the House postponed
the tax bill until tomorrow was reconsid-
cred, and, in the absence Of both Messrs.
BARBOUR and MoFFETT, Speaker ALLEN Mr..
LACY in the chair), with but a few minutes
notice, consented to lead off in the discus
sion.
The bill sets forth that the people cannot
bear taxation greater than the present rate
of 80 cents on the S100; that that is insufti-
Gent to support the government under the
most rigid system Of economy and main
tian the public schools and pay the present
rate on the amount claimed as the prin-
cipal os the debt, and as the prcServa-
ton of the State government IS alb
solutely necessary, "not only for the
protection OF the persons and property
OF the citizens Of the Commonwealth, but
for the preservation OF the rights and pro-
motion of the interest Of the CREDITOR" &C.,
that tax OF so cents on the hundred dol
lars value OF real and personal property be
assessed, in brief, as follows: First, % cents
for government expenses IN money; second,
10 cents for public schools in money; third,
Is cents g for general school purposes and
to pay the interest on the public debt, OF
which one third shall be applied 10 pay the
arrearases due the literary fund and the
general school fund.-"
The bill under consideration Mr.. ALLEN
regarded as the necessary forerunner OF
readiustment of the public debt. After
paying what we owe to the school fund,
after retrenching to the utmost limit, after
paving what the Constitution requires OF
us, il we can then pay three or four per cent.

OF doing so. He was willing to pay all that
was possible after reduction OF expenses

dissraceful attitude OF repudiating interest
on one third OF the debt. !.

the whole scheme was in theth firstlines

The Herald storm Predictions.

Our special despatch from Paris tells the
story OF the recognition by the learned men
of France and some other countries Of the
great success and usefulness Of the HERALD's
weather service, as exhibited in those strik-
ing facts, the regular and repeated predic-
ton Tor many days ahead Of storms that
were to be severely felt in Europe The
Director of the French Observatory at the
Pic du Midi, in Auvergne, position from
which the advent or failure of the storms
predicted in these columns might be noted
with peculiar precision, is an expert, if any
man is, on the points raised in the discus
sion of the paper read yesterd " by Mr..
Collins before the meteorological section of
the French Society for the Advancement of
Science, and this gentleman declares that
to his knowledge eighty per cent of the
predictions made had been fully verified.
Other men whose attention had been
especially given to tho same sub
ject made equally warm declarations
as to the success of this service, while the
able paper read evidently convinced oil
those quaint men of science who cannot be-
lieve in anything till they are shown how
it is done. Our report chronicles a great
break down of opposition when the theory
on which the storms were studied was made
clear. Ii sounds little odd to hear that
| French men of science exhibited an oppo-
sition that gave way upon the production
of information, for this implies that they
had taken decided positions on subject OF
which they had no knowledge, which, to
say the least, was not the conduct OF philoso-
pliers. But the whole subject of meteor
ology in this aspect is new, and the success
of the predictions has been such that We
need scarcely wonder that the average mar
of science failed to comprehend it,

England maintained her navigation laws
until her navy and merchant marine were
developed, and her superiority on the sea
was established" Suppose the United
States would do the same, as Mr.. Roach's
citation is intended to suggest, about
when would our merchant marine be devel-
oped and its superiority on the sea estab-
lished? Here is pretty. little sum to be

laws who prefer even 6 small monopoly to

In his letter to the HERALD on the Mayor
atty Mr.. Kelly makes the following refer
cnce to an important event in city politics
and history
s'You too we'll remember the combination
of selfish and unprincipled men, democrats
and republicans, who formed the Ring for
purposes of pIunder and robbed the city Of
millions of dollars, piling up the enormous
debt under which our taxpayers are suffer-
ing to-day. Had both parties been thor
oughly organized these men could not have
got the power and had these men been
held to rigid responsibility by the parties
to which they belonged no such combine
ton would have been possible, and the city
would have escaped immense losses and in
delible disgrace"
Yes, we remember it all, and we agree
with Mr.. Kelly fully as to the evil,
iniquity and disgrace of it. But we do
not agree with him at oil as to its causes
or as to the remedies that are to preserve us in
the future from repetition OF that melan-
choly part of our municipal history. All
that was due to the reign OF professional
politicians, and to that very "party organ
ization" which Mr.. Kelly fondly believes will
guarantee US against such evils. 1t was the
consequence, not Of the want of party or
ganization and the dangerous practice Of
endeavoring to ill public offices with cit.

Oil is supposed to be a remedy for
troubled waters, but at present it seems as
if the operation should be reversed, and
water-very cold water-should be thrown
upon oil. Some figures, facts and statements
in another column will severely startle any
one who has fondly imagined that COM
petition is general right in this country.
and that only vested rights can prevent
competition. There seems to be an impress
sion among those charged with unfairly
monopolizing the petroleum trade that
their business interests only themselves,
and that any curiosity on the part of out
siders is due to impudence. But this is o
great mistake. When two boys devote
themselves to the enterprise of swapping
one else, 80 long as the youngsters restrict
their operations to their own property.
When, however, they steal knives from
every one else, steal money to buy
others with, and break all which they
cannot control. the jackknife question
Petroleum, in its refined form Of kerosene
oil, is In constant use In three-quarters OF
the homes in the United States, and it ranks
directly after breadstuffs and cotton as an
article of export Compared with q mo-
nopoly of such O staple any railroad or
manufacturing monopoly is IN insigniH-
cant affair. Yet there seems general I'M
derstanding that single concern virtually
controls this whole business, makes prices
to suit itself and can increase them to any
extent; browbeats railroads into discrimi-
mating against other producers or into
entirely refusing them transportation, and
even manages, in its own name, the bust
ness of discharging oil freights which are
brought to New York by OF least one trunk
road II we are cursed by q worse mo-
nopoly than all this seems to signify we have
not yet learned what it is. The public will
await with more than ordinary interest the
coming developments Of this subject.
