HENDRICKS FOR PRESIDENT,

From strong endorsement of Hon. Thos.
a. Hendricks for President, made by a
writer in the Clarke Courier, we mako the
following extracts:
Napoleon knew that in the most doubtful
hour of battle, Marshall Ney and the "Old
Guard" would pluck victory from the very
jaws OF defeat The convention, assembled
at st. Louis in 1876, knew that Thomas A.
Hendricks, with the gallant State of Indiana
at his back, would form a rallying cry that
would strike terror to the hearts of the foe
The friends of Mr.. Hendricks were there in
sisting that he should have the first place ON
the ticket. Subsequent events have shown
that their choice was wise one. Who of
all the men, prominent before that conven>
tlon, have retained the influence of Mr.. Hen
bricks Where is Mr.. Tiden to-day? His
State, By reason of internal dissension. has
been "bound hand and foot" and turned over
to Republicanism. Ohio, Mr. Thurman's
State, is also under tho enemy's control,
whilst Pennsylvania refused to follow the
lead of Mr.. Randall in his efforts in behalf
OF the standard bearer of 1876. How are
things in Indiana? She has a Democratic
Legislature, Democratic Governor and two
Democratic q. S. Senator'S All of them
together with thousands of Democrats in the
private walks of lite, in blaze of en-
thusiasm for Hendricks. Much has been
said about Mr.. f'iIden as an organizer. Look
at the condition of New York and then look
at Indiana, and let facts prove whose power
as an organizer is better exemplificd, that of
Mr.. Tilden or that of Mr.. Hendricks? Is
New York solid for any one of her emine q I
citizens! No. Is Ohio? No. Not even
little Delaware, of which it may be said the
largest part is the head Of Thomas L. Bay-
ard, Is unit upon the question of the Pres
ldential candidacy. But when you come to
Indiana, you find solid array for Mr. Hen
bricks. What does this mean? 1t means
tho people of Indiana, the heart and centre
OF the great West, are terribly in earnest
1t Is not SO much the size of State as the
power of its enthusiasm that decides con.
test. The French army under the command
OF Napoleon, made every throne in. Europe
to totter. Yet in comparison, the entire
French population bore an insignificant ratio
to that of the powers which eudeavorcd in
vain to crush the spirit of liberty.
Hendricks is a 'born leader" a knight
more gallant mover drew blade. Uniting the
''ponderous stroke of Richard" with the
''skillful thrust of Saladin," no adversary
can stand before him alive. Let the proud
Old Dominion follow in the lead of t.him
who gocth to battle as one who goeth to vic>
tory" With Hendricks as our nominee. a
spirit of enthusiasm would be enkindled all
over Virginia which would cause "Indepeu>
dent Electoral Tickets" to be scattered as the
Hghtest "dowu of gossamer" upon the infu,
rated breast of an Alpine storm.

SHENANDOAH RIVER IMPROVE
MENT.

1t is remarkable fact that in the report
OF Major Hutton to his superior officer, COL
CraIghill,in reference to the improvement of
the Shenandoah navigation, that no notice is
taken of the important mineral deposits
along the course of the river. This omission
is of itself sufi eient to counterbalance the
somewhat adverse Recommendation of tho
report. Information on the subject is now
being accumulated which will demonstrate
that the trade upon this river ought annually
to reach nearly one million of dollars-per.
haps double as much as that Of the Monon>
gahela to which an appropriation of $50 900
is recommended. which will very probably
pass Congress. In further proof of this. we
publish below letter from G. S. Maltby. in
which he says that if the communication
were open he Should expect to ship from
fifteen to twenty thousand tons of iron ore,
worth, at fifty dollars per ton for iron, from
sl75,Oo0 to 5000, 900 per auuum:
NEW YoRK, April 6, 1880.
Me. DanI B. Lucas, Charlestovn, LETTER.
son County, w. Va:
DEAR S1R.-Your recent favor is received
requesting the number of tons of iron ore
that 1 would probably ship annually down
the Shenandoah river, from Little's Falls To
Harrer's Ferry, provided the navigation was
improved, sc. My impression is that, should
the navigation be improved SO as to pass
boats through the locks carrying twenty tons
OF iron ore and upwards, that should ship
annually from fifteen to twenty thousand
tons. Yours truly,

Hon. D. 3. LUcAs.-Hon. D. 3 Lucas,
of Jefferson, delivered an address before the
citizens of that county, in the Court louise
at Charlcstown, on the Sd inst. The Spirit
Of Jefferson gives pretty full synopsis Of his
remarks, but says Its report is not clothed
with the peculiar force of Mr.. Lucas style.
The subject of the address was the duty
and Mission of the Democratic Party" and
as Mr.. Lucas is prominent candidate for
the Democratic Congressional nomination in
this District. we take it that this very logi>
cal and forcibe address is intended to sound
the keynote of the campaign. 1t is bold
and aggressive, and has no uncertain sound.

We recently copied, from Sd District
paper. notice of the canvass being made in
that portion of the State, by Hon. +. Willis
Wilson, and his candidacy for the nor,ina-
ton of the Democratic party for Attorney
General. We publish in this issue an arti>
Gle complimentary to Judge John W. Ken
nedy, and advocating him for the same posi-
ton, taken from the Pan Handle Nccs.
Both these gentlemen are natives of Jeffer>
son, and we'll known in this section. and
should the nomination spoken of fall upon
either, the Democracy of the Eastern Pan
Handle will give the fayorite one solid
support.

man was not given, only that he was called
John. The shaft down which he fell is
stated by the driver to be 700 feet deep.

speed of The Steamship Columbia

Speed of the Steamship Columbia.
PORTLAND, October 30th-Governor Thay.
er has signed the bill passed by the late Leg
islature, amending the present city charter of
Portland. The provisions are now in force.
Taxpayers are much disguised at this new
law. The Board of Police Commissioners is
abolished, also the City Assessor. The Mayor
and Common Council have the appointment
OF the Chief of Police, captains and the entire
police force.
The Baptist Ministerial Conference and
Convention of the Northwest Coast, which
has been in session for several days at Salem,
adjourned yesterday. The following officers
were elected President, Rev r. g. Hill,
Vice Presidents, Rev. j. G. Richardson and
J. Z. Baker; Secretary and Treasurer, Rev.
w. J. Crawford.
The officers of the steamship Columbia
have not been altogether satisfied with the
speed of that vessel, which thus far has not
been in accordance with her power For the
purpose of securing speed, it has been deter
mined to change the pitch of her propeller.
To make the required alterations it was
found necessary to delay the sailing.of the
steamer until Sunday morning at o'clock.
