TIE "SPLIrn IN VIRGINIA.

We have never attached great
deal of Importance to the "demo~
cratic split in Virginia, so far as it
concerns the presidential election.
With the existing temper of the
southern democratic mind, word
from Governors island, where the
superb Hancock resides, or from
Seven-mule Barnum, the chairman
of the national democratic commit
tee, spoken at the proper time, will
unite the democracy of any state on
the ticket. Theexperience and his
tory of the past twenty years, if
it proves anything at all, proves
that the democratic party is party
of expedients, ready at any time to
sacrifice a principle if it can thereby
gain temporary advantage. Il
showed this in 1872, when it nomi.
mated for the presidency its bitteres'
and most active enemy in the per
son of Horace Greedy, when tn
whole party machinery of the south
was at once put to work to cleo
him. It showed it again when
set aside every prominent leader il
the party at Cincinnati and nomi
mated Gen. Hancock, for the reason
that he is without a record.
And whenever the edict goe
forth from headquarters to the dem
ocrats of Virginia they will lose n
ime in harmonizing their diferen &c

THE VOICE OF VERMONT.

The news from Vermont, which
has appeared in our press dis
patches, in broken doses to be sure,
is all that the most ardent republican
could have anticipated or even de
sired. It shows that the Green
mountain boys appreciate the situao
ton, and understanding it, that
they know how to act. The major
ity given to the republican candi-
date for governor is the largest that
has been given in ten years. The
majority given Hayes for president
four years ago was something over
1000, and it appears now that we
have gained nearly or quite 1000
over that 1t is voice, the pur-
port of which can not be mistaken.
{ It means that the people of the
north accept the challenge made
long ago BY the democratic polls
ticians Of the south, and that a
solid south is to be confronted by a
solid north. Y e
We regret that matters have as
sumed this shape, bat in the end it
will be better for US. We regret
any thing that may divide parties on
sectional lines, but the republican
party is not responsible for it. 1t
will not occur again. The success
of the republican party this year
means the breaking up of the bour-
bon solid south, and in the future,
parties in this section will assume
an entirely new form. The success
of republicanism this year means
the red emption of the south from
the thralldom of those who have
been an obstruction in the way OF
our prosperity for these fifty years.

tn the citizens -.

In submitting the above report to the
citizens of Frostburg and vicinity we feel
it but courtesy to return our sincere thanks
to those who gracea the hall with their
presence, and to the ladies whose untiring
devotion and exertions so materially con-
tributed towards the success of our enter
prise. In the name of all the miners in
this vicinity we thank you.
Passing over the rough pathway of life,
like travelling the stony roads of our coun
try, there arises at intervals along our
route the pleasant memories of happy
hours spent with friends; and though the
barren wastes and hot, dusty plains open
before us, still, drawing strength from the
object of pursuit, the mind again and again
reverts to those who aided us in cortnbu-
ting our mite to the cause we believe to be
right ana just In our efforts to elevate
ard advance the interests of labor you
have generously answered our appeals,
and in the name of those we were chosen
to represent we repeat that the kindness
thus shown shall ever be cheris he'd in our
hearts as memento of friendship and
love, which shall inspire us with strength
for future exertions.
We deeply regret that the cause f51
which this effort was made is lost, but
there is still need for help of those who
through their loyalty, will still suffer
while the traitors reap the reward
With grateful feelings we subscribe our.
selves respectfully and sincerely,

PLEASANT RUN THROUGH A MINE.
A few days since we jumped into
the "palace car" at Borden mine and
run through with Mr.. John Davis,
mining boss. The ladies along were
much interested in Mr.. Davis and
our explanations of the science o.
mining, especially ours, which took
place before we reached the mine,
1t was little embarrassing, therefore,
to have ourselves contradicted in sew
eral important particulars. For in
stance, we had stated that no matter
which way one stood the coal in front
was the "breast !" at the side the "rib,
and everything underneath the "gob.
Mr.. Davis, to our horror, did not put
it exactly that way, though, fortunate
ly, he agreed with our statement that
the "roof of mine was overhead
With regard to discrepancies between
us otherwise we we're not obstinate
outholding on to opinions of mining
matters. Even miners themselves
have been known to differ about siml-
lar things. Why, then, shouldn't
Mr.. Davis differ with us?
Seriously, this is an old mine, pre-
senting some pretty displays of fungi
growing from the deoaying thinkers
along some portions of the main head
ing. Everything is secure and in geo.
order under Mr.. Davis careful! and
skillful management.
