years ago. should be presented still
the Conservative party has REDEEMED
Its pledge, has solved the great diill-
Guilty, has brought the debt within the
ability of the State without new bur
dens upon the people, and has preserv-
ed in the settlement the good faith and
credit of Virginia.
We claim this wise and beneficial
settlement to be distinctively q con-
servative measure.
Here again we appeal to the record
The McCulIoch bill was Senate
bill, and passed that body on the 5'h
March, 1879 by recorded vote OF %
ayes to 0 noes. (Senate Journal, page
453.) In the list Of the % ayes no
name appears but that of II Conserva-
tive no Republican, no Independent;
while Of the 8 noes but were COnser-
valives. The bill passed the House OF
Delegates March p 1860, by record
ed vote Of 1G ayes to 50 noes. blouse
Journal, age 546.) or these 70 ayes,
~ were Conservatives. Thus Of the
l20 Conservatives In the Legislature
who voted upon the bill 100 voted for
1t. showing that more than three Joaths
of the Conservative members of the
Legislature sustained the bill, while OF
the 81 Independents and Republicans
who voted upon the bill 80 opposed
and only 4 sustained II, No commen-
tary Oh these plain figures Is needed to
prove that IL was the Conservative
party, acting through their chosen del
egates, which introduced, shaped, and
carried through hisgreat bill Of peace.
As might be expected In shaping the
features of tho bill, there were con-
1lcts OF judgment among these true
aud faithful Conservatives; but they
exhibited patriotism sufficient to yield
their personal Views and compose their
differences In order to accomplish u
great public good. For this benehcent
public service, fcllow-Conservatives Of
Virginia, your party IL assailed, your
organization repudiated, and your au-
thority dched by faction who show
no claim TO your countenonce or sup
port.

THE MOZART AdrAToRs.

In tho midst of the labors Of this

tlou appeared. Under call for eau.

loch bill, a convention composed OF
independents and Republicans assem.
blcd at Mozart Hall, In Richmond, on
the 25th February, 1870, and proceed.
cd to organize new party, with a
complete party machine, outside OF
the Conservative organization. The
LEADERS Of this faction, who call ia m.
selves "roadjuaters," without waiting
for the result Of any amendments or
notifications TO tho bill then pending
In the Legislature, proclaimed their
hostility TO IL, and avowed their pur.
pose on this single issue TO set up RI
val aud competing party organization
throughout Virginia, pledged to resist
the McCullooh bill, no matter by what
imposing weight Of Conservative judg-
ment the bill should be passed. They
tried TO induce Republicans 10 join

In this. They resisted every remon.

I met Artemus Ward but once. was
quite young at the time and was acting
as city eii,o. O, the Sal. pu0nshed at
chenectady, n. Y. While l was city
editor of that sheet / met Artemus. l
was standing on bridge atthe time.
and in talking abou. newspaper work
was about to say something IN regard to
my heavy editorial responsibility. but
Ward checked me by asking:
"What creek is tbis?"
"Crsskn' exclaimed, Why, this is
ths Erie canal
'How far is it navigable?"
"Wuy, of course 1t is navgable from
one end to the Other"
"Well," solemniy replied Ward. "that
beats oil the streams | ever heard Of.
By the way. think can make out
soms large boats anchored up the stream
thsre-wh.t aro they, propellers or sido
wheelars?"
replied that they were merely canal
boats, and were movsd by horse power.
"Ah! [ didn't think the stream wns as
shallow as that" said Artemus.
"As shallow as whst?"
"Wuy, YOU says that these boats are
pulled along by horses. Now. of course,
they must walk along IN front of tbs
boat, nnsu't they? used to run stoae
boat on my lsmented Uncle Johns farm,
aud distinctly remember that the horses
walked along in 'front.'"
| mentally declared that | had never
before met with such ignorancs. spent
some time in explaining the prculiarities

to think that ut last had set the stranger
right on tho subject, he knocked my
hop-s into kindllng-wood by remarking
- suppose when the stream dries ur
in Summer they put boats on wheels
don't they?"
Then | bagau again and explained
every feature in the c,aA., from Nrw
York to Erie. How atteniively he listened
to my words! / can stall see that nelsn.

nearly half an hour, going fully into the

FoURTEENTH SIDING. ."-Ysuterday in

which to u States" man, could not have
bu. melancholy, though romantic
aspect. There was bridal couple aboard
the train. He was pleasant intelligent
appearing young man, with evidence OF
farm training and a fair education.
She was as fair as Maud Muller the day
thu Judge met her IN the tabled field; of
evidently far superior trsinisg to her
sturdy consort, she was one Of the love.

ing in sight save the one room 6xlO
shanty barracoon of the switchman, and
the eye lost itself trying to iathom the
dreary beyond. THIS WAS the stopping

was taking her to his new home, fifty
miles back on the plans; but there was
no one to meet them as expected, and
tbs threadlike trail disappeared over the
horizon. five miles away. with no sign

aloud. The scene told its own mslan-

HUMID REDUCTION OF METALs.-An
improved mode of operating in the sap.
aration OF lead, zinc. silver or copper in
mix ores or metallic mixtures has been
patented by Mr. F. Maxwell Lyte, OF the
Scientific Club. Ssvile.row. The inven.
ton relates to the app ioation of me-
thodical, alternate and continuous system
of treatmt Mt OF ores or metallic con.
pounds by means OF acid. wherein con.
vrni-nt disposition OF the vessels and a
special order OF decantations the same
acid is caused to pass successfully over q
series of two or more patches Of ore, thus
becoming completely saturated with the
Zinc and copper the said ore may contain.
and becoming consequently as neutral
as possible. Thus while the utmost pos
sibe economy of acid is obtained the
least possible quantities of lead or iron
ara carried over in solution with the
z'nc or copper (the said lead or silver
and most Of the iron remaining behind
with the gangue). so that the lead and
silver which have become converted into
chlorides can be readily taken up with
boiling brine aud precipitated together
as usual with metallic zinc. He so ar
ranges the attacking watts In which the
ore is treated with the acid as to be able
to dtcant the liquids from one Of these
to any othrr. and he so ordains the order
of decantatiops, the withdrawal of the
saturated liquors, and the additions Of
fresh acid, that each time batch of sat.
urated zinc or zinc or copper ohlorides is
withdrawn from one end of the series q
fresh batch of the acid can be added al
tha other end-[London Mining Jour
