kEARNEY'S TALK
what he had 10 Say About the Assas
SiMatiOn

Dennis Kearncy addressed his meet
ing on the sand lot yesterday after
noon as follows:
Men, Women and Friends Yes
terday morning, at half past 9 o'clock,
an attack was made upon the life Of
the president of fifty millions of peo.
pie, and it may prove fatal. A polti
clan fired the cowardly shot. In
this country the president is the peo-
pies choicc-he is selected from
among them The bare headed, hare

the choice of 5o,O0O,000 of people as
their president. In view Of these
facts, then. an attack upon the lives Of
the president is an attack upon the
lives Of majority Of SO, 900, 900 Of peo-
pie, and the government that they
have set up for themselvs Why as
sassinate Garieldl He had but few
enemies outside Of a few political loaf

wanted fat offices with Zig salaries for
doing nothing. He was assassinated
becanse he did right. We all feel the
shock Of yesterday. An attack upon
our president is an attack upon us.
The talk of the assassin being crazy is
all hosh. Imperialism and the empire
is behind it all. l sounded the note

Guiteau on PredestinatIOn

Guiteau thinks the President will gel
we'll, and that he was not predestined
to be killed by bullet. He says:
"If l had another opportunity
would not try to shoot the President
l thought had an inspiration 10 re-
move him, but see l must have been
mistaken. l think it is ordained by
God that the President shall not be
killed, and for that reason | would not
try it again if l had a chance. If II
were not decreed BY God that he
should not be killed, how could he be
alive now? held the pistol close to
his back, and my hand was as steady
as iron. l fired polnt-blank at him,
and nothing but Divine interposltion
could have saved him. He will not
die, l am convinced, and l am sorry l
caused him so much suffering. 1t is no
use for any one to try to kill new, for l
could not do it with the chance had,
90 bullet can do it. 1t is so ordained.
and we must abide the will OF Heaven. !"

hours ago. There has been no recur'
renee OF the symptoms which attended
the relapse on Saturday, although the
patient is weak and the aftern, on fever
was rather higher than on the previous

couraged By the fact that pus is dis

on Sunday. TIE process OF suppura :

no indications OF bloo1-poisoniog have

COnkIing Defeat.

At last the great Conkling has fillen.
His faithful adherents stuck to him to
the last. but it was Of no avail, and
now one Lapham has been elected to
The Senatorial vacancy caused by Mr..
Conkline's own act. Notwithstanding
Mr.. Conkling's many worthy personal
characteristics and his well-known in
teglity his downfall will be hailed with
satisfaction throughout the whole coun-
try. The reasons for this rejoicing are
we'll put as follows by the New York
SIM
I. Because in him falls the foremost
enemy of the freedom Of the press 10
America.
II. Because in him falls one of the
inventors and the chief promoter OF The
unconstitutional Electoral Commission,
which defrauded the people OF the Uni
ted States out of their own choice Tor
President tor four years, inauguratlng
the unclected Hayes in place OF the
elected Tilden.
Ill. Finally, and above all else, be-
cause IN Roscoe Conkling falls the lead
er Of the Third Term party, who would
overthrow the free Constitution OF the
United States and erect an empire on
its ruins.
Down, down forever, with all such
men!
The firmness and devotion evinced
toward Mr., CouklIng by his circle of
partisan friends could only have been
inspired by superior qualities in him.
Bravely for weeks did they hold out
against the glitter Of gold and the Sc
ductions Of place. He possessed parts
y hch fitted him for a higher destiny.
And in the class of public men into
which, historically, Mr. Ccnkling has
chosen to place himself, be will rank
second only TO Aaron Burr.

EDITOR HERALD:
A short Time since

A short Time since
while on visit to the neighborhood o.
Mine Run Furnace to make rambling
survey Of the mineral lands OF the
"PowelPs Fort Mining Co." and Others
adjacent, we fortunately had the beneti
OF Mr.. Job Atkins company in oul
rambles. Thai these lands were ricl
in iron ore of the very best quality was
conceded fact and had been for ovci
fifty years, but the presence of manga
nese Of quality equal to, if not superior
to any OF our European importation was
SIMPLY matter of conjecture until the
before mentioned Co. few years since
demonstrated the fact beyond doubt
and we were pleased to learn through
their manager that the Co. contemplate
Operations on a very large scale II
short time. Considering the demand
there lie for frat class manganese we
are surprised that these beds should re-
main idle for a day. A shaft OF IS feel
discovered the fact that in large guam
titles, maneansse averaging orer IS pei
cent. could be procured With but very
little outlay either by shaft or tunnel
mining. This vein can be traced BY
associates for over four miles in con-
tinuous ridge, running parallel with
what is known as the lst mountain anC
the Little Fort Mountain and ii worked
would give employment to hundreds o.
men and thousands Of capital.
BY competent mining engineers
amongst whom, Mr.. JOB Atkins, whose
opinions have as much weight as any
gentleman of his profession in this or
anv other State, the opinion is enter
tanned that these manganese deposits
are sufficient to employ large force Tor
the next hundred years to come. We
presume the greatest difficulty in the
way Of active work, has been want OF
facilities for transportation of metal and
supplies, but with the prospects for the
new road from the river to the top oil
the LIST mountain this no longer exists.
While in the Fort, the Co. had corps
Of engineers making surveys with
reference to the construction OF tram
way from the ore-beds to a point where
a shoot was contemplated opposite
Pitman's water. tank, this plan, | unde
stand was not encouragek by the corps
and if we will be excused for the SUI
cestion, unasked, would say, let the

from Waterltck station to this Furnace
property al Nine Run. The line would
give all the facilities the Co. would re-
ouire for shipment of ores, metal and
supplies and the increased value o
lands &c. would pay lor the rcao'
We feel confident that these immense
ore deposits of Iron and Manganese, at
no distant day must employ hundreds
of men and large amounts of capital.
and why other sections of Va. should
be constantly talked Of as the ore-beds
of State and this not noticed we cam
not imagine and if your correspondents
letter shall reach the eye OF those who
are seeking investment in mineral lands
and only invite investigation, he feels
amply paid for his pains.
