Proving too Mnch.

II the agitation of the debt questio brings
out no Other fact, it certainly has demon
rated that two Republicans were ch eatef
out of their seats in the Legislature from
Albemarle comfy. The Chronicle, in crit
icising remark said to have been made BY
Mr.. Massey, that he had received more votes
| than both the regular nominees OF the Con.
servative party and the Republican, in 1876
says:
''The truth is Mr.. Massey did not receive
as many votes as either Of the Radicals. and
would not have got to Richmond at all but
for an unintentional blunder in printing the
Republican tickets. A portion Of tfese tick
cts were printed on paper that Was slightly
tinted-the law requiring white paper-and
| one hundred and forty-seven votes east for
the Republican candidates 1t the court. ouse
precinct were not counted. But for this
Parker (cnlored) and Hammer (white), Re
publicans, would have represented Abe
marie at that session OF the General Assem-
bly,. Parker actually received LAS votes
against the ! All cast for Mr. Massey. 1t is
therefore, incredible that he should have as
serted, as stated by the correspondent of the
Dispatch, that he ''got uore votes thin the
Radicals and Conservatives together.
This is proving too much for the integrity
of the party the Chronicle represents. If
popular elections mean anything it is that
the candidate receiving the highest number of
legal votes should be declared elected, aEd ths t
the mere inf rmality alluded to should not
have been interposed to defeat the popular
will. 1t is a pertinent inquiry, too, as to
when and where the tickets were printed
The tinted paper is unusual material upon
which to print election tickets, and it has all
the appearance of a put up job to defeat
the Republican candidates by ways that
are DARK We know that our respected
contemporary would have no hand in any un-
fair method to control an election. Indeed,
we believe he would rather see the whole
Democratic or Conservative party go to the
bad, than be party, in any sense, to
an intentional wrong. But cannot he let the
public know how it was the tinted paper
was used

iro4 deposits in the New River country.
The following extract shows the drift Of pub
lie attention in tAs east; but it will not be
necessary to confine the approaches for the
ores SO essentialsto Pittsburg TO The New
River section. Hon. J. w. Hopkins, Presi-
dent ola bark ia Pittsburg, and also of a
Narrow Gauge Railroad starting at Pitts
burg, and originally aiming to tap the New
River country, has recently made personal
inspection of iron sections in West Virginia
now directly on the line between Pittsburg
and the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, at the
shoftest distance, and is convinced that it is
the policy q his company to press for the re-
gion of country along 4f!ngthony's Creek, in
Greenbrier county, where is one Of the most
magnificent ore beds on the continent. The
1fe of the iron interests Of Pittsburg depends
upon tapping the ore regions of.Virginia and
West.Vir2inia. and this Narrow Gauge Road,
of which Mr.. Hopkins is the President, will
pen trate section of mineral country thai
will supply them with all the ores they want.

not because the miners and the proprie-
