POLITICAL ITBMS.

The Morgantown Post claims that Lucas
has .''set up the pins" and captured the
Mouongslia delegation for himself. IF this
be so, Martin will probably vote for an early
adjournment, or get leave of absence on the
ground that his fences are out of repair.
{ Wheeling Register.
Tho Tilden and anti.Tilden Democratic
State conventions of New York met at SYRIA
cuse on Tuesday let. The former warmly
Endorsed their favorite, and denounced the
processes by which he was supplapted by
Hayes in 1876; no instructions were given
the delegates to the national convention, ex-
cept to vote unit. The latter spent most
OF it's time in bitter denunciation of Tilden,
though an effort was made to harmonic with
the Tilden convention. Uninstrueted dele
gates were chosen.
Hon. Daniel B. Lucas, of Charlestowu,
was in town the greater Part of this week
He came to see his friends and make arrange
ments to address the people of the county on
the "Duty and Mission of the Democratic
Party nt some future day. The time for
holding the meeting is not yet determined,

HOME MANUFACTURES.

Home manufactures of allkinds should be
encouraged. They build up the prosperity
oftheir locality, because they keepthe money
at home instead of sending it abroad. 1t is.
by this means that the inhabitants of the
sterile lands and bleak hills of New England
have acquired not only the means of comfort
able support, but immense fortunes. As
contributor to the Anderson Enterprise says,
"why should we permit the ahrewd yankee
to palm off upon us his paper shoes, while
our cattle upon thousand hills are clothed
with the richest hides, and our forests abound
in brooks for converting them into leather,
and our shoemakers are starving for want of
employment? Why is this What excuse
have we? None none, whatever.
One will soy we have not the capital
Where did the yankee get the capital? He
started much poorer than we are-but he
started.
We have the capital. IF one man hasn't
got it, hundred have, and If hundred
cannot raise it thousand can. The secret
lies in cooperation. This is .he magieisns
wand which has built up the New England
manufactures and converted her barren fields
into a garden, and this is the only means by
which large enterprises of any kind have
ever been made successful"
WILLING TO LIVE UNDER GRANT AS

Horny Lishtfoot made speech in which, as
reported by the Culpeper Times, he said
"He did not think Grant would make
himself King if elected. but if he did they
would be willing to live under him as such"
