,s,.sv: CLARKE COURIER.

We copy the following editorial from
the Clarke Courier, of last week, and
congratulate our contemporary upon
the heallhful change Of sentiment 1t
evinces towards the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad:
Bnt while rejoicing with him and his
people upon the suspicious fact of the
road being finished to and beyond Der
ryville, and on the impetus it has given
TO trade there, We must be permitted
also 10 add that if it had rot been for
the obstacles thrown in the way of the
progress of our road by certain cliques
ia Jefferson, Clarke and Page, it would
have reached the home and have re-
ioiced the heart of our esteemed friend
of the Courier many months if not
years ago -
Our GRow1NC PRosPERITT.-WhilSt
it can not be in any respect said that we
are an enthusiast respecting the future
Of our town, we claim that the spirit OF
Improvement is active and progressive.
WheH TIE community upon which the
Town depends is being benefited we
know TIA, the :own itself IS II the d.
fectioD Of permanent improvement.
Resting in the very lay OF the beautiful
Shenandoah Falley,;he county Of Clarke
bids fair TO take the position which she
SC long ,.eld precious to the late war.
Her lands are unsurpassed 10 beauty and
fsttiii.y. Her roads; without exception,
are as good rs any in this macadamized
region: But we design speaking more
particularly in regard to Berryvile and
her surroundings. The extension OF the
5. V. Il. Il. to this point has given ali
impetus to trade in which our farmers
are interested, that has never before
characterized the town. Formerly the
farmers, in the neighborhood Of this
place, were compelled to hanl their
wheat from TO If miles. Many who
sought Winchester as the best market
for produce will now find better mar
ket at Observation-Disclosures saving the
expense of hauling y thousand bush
els per day have been shipped from the
Berryville depot by the enterpris,ng
gentlemen having the grain interest IN
charge. 1t was not an unusual thing in
The late fall, to see wagCna heavily laden
with wheat aud corn passing through
Berryville TO Winchester, distance OF
ten miles; this need, and will, be no
longer necessary:
When we first came to this town
nearly nine years ago-everything was
depressed, because Of the large indebt-
edness of the people and the many suits
in court for Settlement Of their indeot-
ednesS. The number of farms placed
under the hammer brought about de-
preston in real estate. Three or four
wears AGO farm within half mile OF
this place sold for $50 per acre. 1t re-
Gently changed hands at about 4D per
cent. advance-a very healthy lndica-
too. The lands Of the county are now,
for the most part, in the hands of those
who are abie 70 hold ami improve them,
and this fact, with better seasons, has
greatly increased their yield. On all
hands there are signs Of returning and
continuing prosperity, and tie hope is
general that the people of Clarke will
soon occupy tirmer footing, financially,
than they hate ever done.

thority for saying that he will not approve
the bill with the proposed legislation at
tached. II Is also understood AMONG those
cognizant Of such matters that the cabinet
is Il unit in holding the same view Of the
question. 1t woull appear, iIoiG this,
that the only hope of a com
promise is the possibility that
the Democrats may conclude to content
themselves with the repeal of the obnox-
ious jurors test.oath law and the statutes
authorizing the presence of troops at the
polls, and allow the supervisors law to re-
main in force. 1t is doubtful if the Demo
will consent TO this. 1t is asserted that the
majority will stand by the action Of the
cuucus till the last, and in case of veto, that
the appropriation bills will fail again The
repeal will divcst the national government
OF all authority to appoint chief supervis-

act cover all possible laws it is provided

appointment Of any supervisors or marshals,

The question as TO a short or long extra
session is still undecided and viii. doubtless
be controlled Wy future developments. The
majority in the senate is strongly in favor
of adjournng as soon as the legislation

is finished: but there is disposition

WASHINGTON. March %, 1870,
Not until yesterday did the joint caucus
OF the majority agree upon programme of
action il regard to the apccia! legislation
for which the extra session was called. It
has been agreed TO allow the law providing
for the appointment of two supervisors al
each voting precinct, in cities Of 10000
inhabitants and upwards, to stand, but
taking from the supervisors all authority
to arrest or in any manner interfere with
the election, and requiring that they shall
be bona tide, residents Of the precinct IN
which they serve; that they be authorized
to remain beside the ballot-boxcs during
the entire election, and supervise the count;
that they may witness the registration of
voters, if they choose, but they shall not
have the power to challenge or in any way
intericre; they may watch every proceed
ing, and acquaint themselves with all that
is done, they may make memoranda; the
idea being that these supervisors may be
used before the court as witnesses, or, in
cases of contest, before congress.

president will sign The legislative bill with
