THE MitrailleuSe.

A new orator is in the field, and from the
fuss his partisans are making over his ap
rearance one would think they regard hin
as the mitrailcuse, with the capacity &c
shoot in all directions and kill everything
in the line 1t commands. This orator is nc
less a man than General MALONE. We
bring up the comparison with the mitrall
leuse as very appropriate, for his partIsan'
evidently think that he is as fully charged
with figures and facts as is mitrailleust
with powder and ball when loaded. Bu'
whoever heard of that sort OF weapon
doing any execution worth mentioning?
aWe venture the suggestion that orator
MALONE makes a mistake in changing lis
WeanoDS.

Some Good Blood.

Colonel HARMaN HlSER-from Bath and
JIigbland-is 8 man OF the old stock-we
NAV say of revolutionary stock. HIS
grandfather, HARTMAN HINER. OF The county
OF PendIeton, was the Democratic elee!oi

nresdert;al election when cod Hickory .

eldest son succeeded to the position anc
bonors of the father. and was always con-
sidcrcd as one of the most sensible anc
trustworthy men in The Legislature. The
county OF Pcpdeton had been much GU
ND to form other counties when it was VIC
lently torn from Virginia and attached te
West Virginia.
b. this act The son was thrown into West
Virginia. But the HISER blood, neverthe
less, still remains to Virginia through the
gran dsoD, who is citizen OF Hishiano
county, and who represents the Legislative
district OF Highland and Bath.
This true Virginian has just returned te
his constituents, aud has published letter
giving a brief account Of his stewardship
In this letter Colonel HINhR explains tht
debt bin, asserts that it will save the State
twenty millions OF dollafs-that the reye'
pucs of the State are ample 10 pay the cur
rent obligations under that bill and main
tain the schools and support the govern
ment. He declares that il will cost less than
the measure known rs the ''BARBoUR bili''
would have cost by s35o,o0o, and congratu-
lates his constituents and the country upon
its passage. He concludes thus:
thank God that we were able 10 pass Inc

More Summer Resorts.

There is no portion Of the country
that more abounds in pleasant scenes ana
abundant subsistence than the grand coun-
ties Of Tazewcll and Russell. They belong
TO Virginia. We may be thankful that they
were not appropriated 10 the wholesale rob-
berry by which the venerable Commonwealth
was disnlembered, and so monstrousIy dis
figured that her own children cannot now
rccvs ui1r her by her boundaries. Inese
fine counties were left to Us, and we may
we'll be proud OF them.
The Cliach Valley NelcS brings us notice
OF the tine retreats in the valleys and along
the sweet waters OF the Clinch river. So
are there lovely inches amongst the hills
and coves OF Russell; and the day will come
when they will be favorite summer retreats
for men from the Atlantic coast cities.
When a railway may be built to reach that
locality OF dellght-Of rcfreshmcnt and re-
juvenalion--tiIere will burst upon the tray.
cling aud notwithstanding public resources
Eoi whose loneliness and qualifications the
world knows nothing.
The people out there want an outlet, which
Of course viii! be an inlet. The INDUSTRIOUS
president OF the Atlantic, Mississippi ana
Ohio, who, when seeking the passage OF
consolidation and other bills, was lavish OF
promises about building the projected road
to Cumberland Gap, most feaifully dlSar'
pointed the expectations and disrupted
the feelings OF those people when he came
suddenly down upon them with petition
10 be relieved irem the necessity Of build
ing the Cumberland Gap road. Those reo.
pie knew how impossible it was to beat
.'wet groceries, and the power to draw
money ut will from rich Golfers. and they
wiltet. They sought last winter TO compel
others to make up for the delinquency in 4
quarter where four millions had been re-
served to do the work they wanted done.
Very unreasonable, indeed, was it; but the
| unreasonable demand was sustained by a
zeal in an inverse ratio to the very feeble
character OF tticir claim.
Never mind. They will have railway
some day soon. They are too highly blessed
with natural riches long to linger without 4
road. We shall! build it ourselves ii nobody
else does.
3. What we desire to ask OF our friends OF
| Russell! and Tazewel is for their own sake>
to send good, practical, fair-intentioned
men to the Legislature. Those they have
sent for years have done nc good for the
Commonwealth and little for their own con-
stituents. They were socially kind and
hospitable, and there an end on it.. They
were indignant at their former disappoint
ment, and yet we know no legislator who
did more than they did to crafty the wshe:
and minister 10 the ambition of those who
disappointed them. Ii their Representatives
will change their policy, take new latitude
and departure, heartily join in the settle
ment OF the State debt, and "turn over &
new leaf" we can predict for them good
fortune. We shall stand by Ciinch river
and Wolf creek and all thei: tributaries I'm.
til the mountains OF their land wash away.

WHOLESALE LIQUOR-DEALERS' LICENSE
We would say to the Norfolk Ledger, and
any other paper that may have copied our
article stating the changes in tue Mof1ett-
register law, that though the words sup 10
and including five gallons" we're stricken
o;lt OF the eleventh section OF the old law
for the purpose OF making wholesale deal
yet the wholesale dealers i'll this city are not
willing 10 acknowledge that the Legislature
has accomplished that object. We quote
from the section as it stands:
II. Wholesale liquor-dealcrs shall be IL
ccnscd in the manner prescribed in this act
for retail! and bar-room dealers, and may,
in addition to the wholesale license, obtain
n license to sell by retail, as hereinafter pro-
rided. Under license to sell by whole
sale the dealer shall be allowed to sell only
in quantities OF five gallons or upwards !;
and unde: a license to sell by retail, in addi-
ton to wholesale, he shall be allowed TO
sell In quantities Of one gallon OF
more. The specific tax, to be paid at
the time the license is granted, shall
in the case Of the wholesale dealer be $3.50 ;
and for the additional privilege to sell by
% lIOflutu lOi III lllls SSS'ich' ~
shall pay the additional sum or tax OF Sloo
and the further sum OF tecenty,touT cents or
.. every sale Of one gallon and ttcenty cents
gallon on each gallon in excess of one, ant
g be subject to all the provisions OF this act II
relation to retail dealers when selling il
quantities greater than one gallon, for con
sumption within the State, TO persons Other
than licensed retail and bar-room dealer;
under this act, &c.
The words Sup to ana inclasGingf re GAL
Ions" were stricken out after the word:
leach gallon in erceSs Of one" And tht
9Th section was changed and made to rea(
as follows: s~ss -,ss>.
"And 1t shall he the duty of every whole
sale and retail liquor. dealer who sells to {;
person or persons other than licensed
dealer, and every retail liquor dealer, t.
keep book, as prescribed in the 18th sec
ton OF this act, in which he shall keep
record Of all liquors, sold by hin. in quanti
ties OF more than one gallon" &c.
We suppose no one doubts that the Gene
raj Assembly intended to put the same ia:
upon rich men who buy five gallons or NOR
al time as upon poor men who buy les
than five gallons ut time. But we mus
confess that that intention has been eX
pressed very feebIy in the statute. In fact
SO Tar as we can see, the object OF the Legis
lature can only be effected by constituting tn,
law SO as to make 1t mean that the wholesale
dealer has 10 pay tax upon all sales TO coli
suners, even il made under bis whoesal.
license, for the privilege of selling by retail
to anybody. The Attorney-Generai. We
learn, is considering this point, and vii
probably soon give to the public his con
stiuc;idn OF the law. Even il he gives II
this construction, wholesale dealers whe
take out no retail license will not have tc
pay any tax upon sales. The most favora
BILE construction for the wholesale dealer:
will. however. leave the tax Just as it was
last year on them.
