The extra session of Congress has been a
losing game to the Democrats. They will
not be able to recover from its effects be-
fore they receive another severe back set in
1880. All they want is an opportunity, and
the blunders will be sure to come.

On Thursday last, the jury in the case of
Miss Lille Duer, tried for feloniously shoot
Ing and causing the death of Mss Ella Hern
at Pocomoke, Nd, several months ago,
brought in a hesitating verdict of man
slaughter, with recommendation to the
mercy Of the Court. The penalty is con-
finement in the Jail or penitentiary for a
certain period OF time, or fine, or both, in
the discretion of the Court. The Judge ex-
creased his prerogative by imposing fine Of
$500, and RENTING imprisonment. The
friends Of the young lady paid the money
promptly, and she was released. We
read the evidence in this case fully and
closely, and are clearly of the opinion that
she should have been acquitted of the
charge.

State Credit.

We see statement in our exchanges to
the effect that bids for the new State of
Pennsylvania four per cent. loan of 50, 600,
900, which were forwarded Oh last Tuesday,
aggregated s12, 1854, 300. The bids for per
cents ranged from par to 1O2.51 at A per
cent. the rates ranged from 101 to LOGIC,
and the bids at per cent. ranged from
102.50 to 111.06. The figures show how
cheaply States with good credit can obtain
money.
This shows that State credit can be placed
on as favorable footing as national credit,
by demonstrating to the world our purpose
TO pay just debts. There is no reason why
Virginia's credit should not gradually ap-
proach to what Pennsylvania IS is. BY a
prompt acceptance of the conditions of the
recent settlement and a full compliance with
the obligations as stipulated,it would be but a
few years before our bonds could be placed on
the market, with results similar to those at
tending the bonds of Pennsylvania. Nat
urally Virginia has as many advantages if not
more, as Pennsylvania, and by determined
and earnest effort, on the part of all classes
Of citizens, her credit would be raised to
equal that of any other State. Is not a
matter so seriously affecting our present and
future prosperity, worth the effort?

Tangible Prosperity.


The sale of the Quinnemont and Eliza.
beth Furnace properties to the Pennsylva-
mia and Virginia Iron and Coal Company has
been co nsum mated and formal possession OF
the latter has been assumed by its purchas-
ers. Mr.. r. N. Pool, the President OF the
Company, is now at Elizabeth superintend-
ing the preparations for its entire renova-
ton and Improvement. The work has al
ready been commenced and will be vigor-
ously pushed to completion. Mr.. Lewis, a
thoroughly competent and experienced min
ing engineer OF Pennsylvania, will have
charge, and no expense will be spared to
make it one OF the most important and ex-
tensive of the iron manufactures. A con-
tract for three branch railroads, over which
the cars of the C. 6 o. r. w. can be run
direct to the various parts OF the mines, has
been let to that veteran railroad firm, Nc
Mahon & Green, and an S0-ton furnace will
soon be under construction. In the mean
time, the furnace now on the property will
have its capacity greatly increased and be
set to work the present store-house will
be enlarged and an additional building for
the same purpose erected. A large amour
Of heavy castings to be used in the hot blast
furnace has been ordered from the Staun-
ton Iron Works, and a number OF hands
are now busily engaged on the works.
At QuinEemont extensive improvements
will also be made. Besides the building OF
roads, &C., Messrs. Mcmahon s. Green have
contracted to erect 200 additional coke
ovens, by which the capacity Of the works
will be greatly augmented.
The gentlemen who have become the pur-
chasers Of these two magnificent proper
ties, than which there are none more val
liable on the continent, are experienced
and possessed OF ample means. BY con-
Meeting the immense coal deposits and cox.
ing facilities Of Quinnemont with the
splendid ore beds ofElizabeth, they will have
solved the problem of the cheap mannfac-
ture of iron, and be in position to, in
measure, control the market. 1t has been
heretofore demonstrated that iron can be
cheaper in this section than
at any other point in the world, ard
the advantages which this company will
command will still further reduce the cost
Of production.
We have only space in this issue to
mention these encouraging facts. Hereafter
we shall have an opportunity of presenting
details. aud giving our readers some idea
Of the bright future which must come to
Virginia through the medium of her iron
Industries.
