The mass meeting at Woodstock,
Va, on Saturday for the purpose of
inaugurating movement for the
consolidation of the Funders' and
Readjusters' electoral ticket, appears
to have been distressing failure. 1t
was not countenanced by the presence
of any party leader on either side
the Committee on Arrangements
found it impossible to secure speakers
of any political prominence, and all
that could be done was to get few
signatures to petition to the State
executive committees of both wings,
asking them to bring about COM
promise on the basis of allowing The
Funders and Readjusters each to
name five electors on the new ticket
and the National Democratic Com
mittee to pick out the eleventh man.
This petition will have about as much
effect with the rival leaders as a cir
cular signed by Hottentots. The
Funders and Readjusters hate each
other much more bitterly than do the
Republicans, and both would rather
see Virginia carried for Garfield and
Arthur than fol- the rival faction, so
that there is really no way of bring
ing about compromise that would
be mutually acceptable. Each party,
indeed, claims that 1t is able to carry
its electoral ticket, Notwithstanding
there are three tickets in the field,
and with an obstinacy that cannot
but be gratifying to Republicans,
persists in quoting the figures of last
years election in support of their
assertion. Of course, one of the two
must be laundering but in a game
of bluff nothing wins after all like
a good hand, and VINO holds the win
ming cards cannot be told until the
hand has been called so that moth
ing but the actual count of votes at
the November election will fix the
responsibility for the failure of the
compromise propositions. Outside
of Virginia, of course, the Democrats
perceive clearly enough that disaster
must result from this refusal of the
Funders and Readjusters to subordi-
nate state to national issues, but re-
cent events show that they are pow
erless to effect harmony. AS in a
case of quarrel between man and
wife, to interfere is only to invite the
blows of both antagonists. We wish
the managers joy Of the Kilkenny
cats of politics.

The SHowINGS OF THE CENSUS.
The harvest Of some of our prin-
cipal crops and the pros poets for
the others should call forth the graf
itude of the whole nation-ay, in
deed, of the whole world, for we are
looked to now for the deficiencies
which may be experienced in other
countries. The net result cannot
show much less than. 80, 900, 900, as
against 3s,500,00O in 1870. This is an
increase of nearly 30 per cent. But
our increase in wealth and produce
ton is far greater. In 1870 we had
$1,000 miles of railroad, but in 1880
we have $1,000 miles, equal to an in
crease of 40 per cent. Our exports in
1870 amounted to 1928, 900, 900 against
$3.50, 100000 in 1S79-an increase of
nearly SO per cent. The increase in
coal production from 1869 to 1878 was
over 60 per cent. Our agricultural
exports in 1868 amounted to $780,
900. 900; in 1873 to 1892 900 ,OOO-an
increase of So per cent. The cereal
product of the country in 1868 ag-
gregated ,450, 5000 bushels, inclu-
ding Indian corn. In 1878 the total
was 2,36S, 900, 000-an increase of IS
per cent. In 1865 the wheat crop
was 149, 100000 bushels. In 1879 it
was 440, 100000 bushels-an increase
in fourteen years of nearly 200 per
cent. From 1870 to 1878 the cotton
crop rose from 100000 to $685. 900
bales an Increase of 20 per cent.
The expansion of American manu~
features has kept pace with the in
,reaBe in agricultural productions;
American cotton prints are selling in
Manchester, American cutlery in
Birmingham, and American watches
in Paris and Liverpool. 1t may be
startling to contemplate the number
of mouths that will call for food in
the near future, but in view of the
above rate of production. the task Of
feeding them should not occasion any
alarm.

Governor HamiIton's Position.

Governor Hamilton is doing
nothing now, and you think he is
politically dead but wait until the
time comes, and he will show his
teeth" said prominent friend of
Governor Hamilton the other day to
one who had opposed the Governors
policy in the last Legislature. Though
the faction opposing Hamilton have
control of everything Except the
Governors patronage though they
appear now as political Samsons in
the political temple of this State,
there are politicians acting with the
ring who think that the probabilities
point to the defeat of the managers
next year. The congressional Skin
mish so far has dt yel0ped the intense
feeling against the ring in some Sec
tions of the State. Said prominent
ring politician yesterday, 81 am
afraid of the primaries for members
of the legislature next year. We
shall probably lose Southern Mary
land, great part of the Eastern
Shore, Baltimore, Cecil and Carroll
counties, and probably number of
the Western counties. They will raise
the reform cry against US, and
Hamilton's friends will urge that the
majority in the legislature was OPP
posed to reform measures favored by
the Governor, and they will rest the
blame on u.s."
1t has often been a matter of WON
der how it was that one of the reform
bills advocated by the Governor. and
which passed the Senate and was be-
lieved to have passed the House,
never reached the Governor. The
bill abolished the law under which
the Secretary of the Senate drew a
salary of 81, 200 year for doing moth
ing or, in other words, compiling
the statistics of deaths in the State,
which never were complied, and
which work is now done by the Sec
rotary of the State Board of Health,
who is paid for it. 1t has leaked out
that the bill was stolen towards the
close of the session-stolen from
member of the House, in whose pos
session it was at the time, and who
was then drinking wine with others,
and had probably partaken too freely
of the cheering as well as inebriating
stuff. The bill has never been heard
from since. and Governor Hamilton
/ is, no doubt, still waiting to append
his signature there to. - Baltimore

one ofthe most annoying set-backs
which the Democrats received during
the recent session of Congress was
when thew passed resolutions lament
ing the delay in the payment OF
bounfies, back pay due discharged
volunteer veterans, and demanding
of the Secretary of the Treasury an
explanation. The shallow attempt
to throw the responsibility of the un-
just delay upon the Republican adj
ministration was promptly met by
the statement that the delay was
solely due to the failure of Demo-
cratic Congress to provide for their
settlement without the delay CONS
planned of. This fact, together with
the persistent refusal of the Demo
Gratis in Congress to provide a suitable
clerical force to settle promptly the
various pension claims, are now
causing considerable annoyance to
the party managers who, on the basis
of a Union soldier candidate, are
trying to get the soldier vote for the
Democrats /; but the violent way in
which they refer to what they call
this latest and biggest of plumbers,
does not help them much. The facts
are there, and they find that the sol
diers do not care to vote with the
party that binders the payment to
them OF their just dues.

The last financial operations of a
Democratic administration were
those of Buchanan, whose Secretary
of the Treasury paid from 8 to12 per
cent. interest on loans. The excuse
generally made for this depressed
state Of the national credit was the
unsettled condition of the public
affairs and the fear of civil war but
that this was not the cause is shown
by the fact that after the war began
the Republican administration sold
S189,321 $50 OF per cent. bonds at
par in gold, and afterwards $40, 094,-
$50 of 70 per cent. bonds at par in
gold. The weakness of the public
credit under Buchanan's administra-
ton arose simply from mismanage-
ment. For several years there had
been annual deficits, and people were
not prepared to lend money to a
government that was not meeting
even its current expenses.

The National Road.
iCONCLUDED.)

Ed. Ne,0s NO doubt readers and
writer are weary of the articles on
the subject of the National road. L
propose to close the series on the
subject of staging. Just what date
coaches for the conveyance of travel
ers began l have not been able to as
certain-somewhere about the year
1915. The institution, or whatever
it may be called, in the beginning
was very crude and imperfect.
Coaches in those days were called
turtle. back" on account of the roof
resembling that reptile. They were
very uncomfortable for travelling, but
were about apace with the times.
Stages were running between CUM
berand and Baltimore some years
before they commenced plying from
here West. The Troy and Concord
coaches were very popular in after
times and were called post coaches,
| suppose, because they carried the
United States mail. In their day
they were thought to be as grand as
Pullman's palace cars of these ex-
quisite times. The first coach of the
Troy pattern was sent here from
Philadelphia by James Reside. in
the winter Of 1929. 1t had been won
by the owner upon a bet on the pres
Idential election the previous year,
and he intended President Jackson
should be the first to ride in it from
Cumberland to Washington TO take
his seat. Our townsman, Charles
Howell, now 80 years Of age, was
the driver. The President elect
came thus far in his own private con
veyanee, and poor one at that. No
doubt he was pleased with the finest
vehicle he had ever seen, but "by
the eternal" he would not ride to
Washington in free conveyance no
matter how attractive and comfort
ablo it might be. He would be I'M
der no obligations to any one. So
his old shabby two-horse carriage
not only took him to the seat Of gov
eminent but back to the Hermitage,
eight years thereafter. However
