RE.AssEssMENT IN ALLEGHANY COUNTY
By the re.assessment Of $780, by Col. Samuel
Carpenter, it is ascertained that the valuation
of lands and lots, with the Improvements
thereon in Allegheny county, Va, is 1924 525.ll.
The re-assessment of 1875, with Improvements
| added up to the year 1880, amounted to 81 1855,

re-assessment of 1880 reduces the taxable val =
ues of the county SS4l S04,76.
The valuation of the lots and buildings in

claims must now be settled, and then the road

We were endeavoring to do right and
settle honorably and provide for pay
ment, If we could not pay at once. Now
we are brought face to face with the fact
that those for whose pecuniary interests
We have struggled-those who have
tainted the whole democracy OF the
South with tendency to Republication
are willing to aid those whom we are
fighting on this debt question alone, and
to give the control OF the State to this fac
ton upon the consideration that the
negroes shall be granted certain immu-
mites and privileges, and political
platform set up at war with the doc
trines and action of the Democratic
Conservative party yearly since 1866.
Now, for one, we are not willing to con-
tinue the fight on the debt or any other
question for the benefit of the Republic
can party and its allies, black or white.
If Reputation, in whole or in part
the plan of Massey, Malone, or Riddle
beger-suits the Republican party, let
it, with the National Republican as its
organ, endorse the move, join hands
with the Mahoneites, relieve the de-
mocracy of the charge Of reputation,
and we are content that they shall settle
the debt question in all its aspects. Let
the Republican party, with the aid Of
Malone, Massey & Co., settle the mat
ter, and let the democratic party-the
Bourbon democrats-be acquitted OF the
desire or intention of Sinking the debt
or the obligations Of the State, and we
are content. I'VE will drop this ques-
tion-we will repudiate any alliance
with Radicalisna, and rally the democ-
racy on the color line, demanding white
supremacy in Virginia, and we will
fight it out on this line as We did in
1859 and 1873 We notify the Republic
can papers and leaders North, who have
been. coquetting with Gen. Malone,
whose friends sent money to Virginia
in aid of Mahone's Congressional candi-
dates, that there will never again be an
issue on the debt question in the demo-
cratic party Aovaace.

To TEACHERS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
DR.. VIM. H. Ruffner, Superintendent
of Public instruction, Richmond, Va,
has made the following rulings which
will be of Importance to all connected
with the schools:
Especial attention is called to the
ruling in regard to the daily average at
tendance.
AS soon as teachers have taught TWEEN
ty days theylwill make out their reports
intendent within three days after the
this subjects them to a fine. Some
teachers have been very derelict in their
duty in this respect, which will not be
tolerated in the future.
The school term cannot be less than
five months in any case, unless the
school be broken up by some unforeseen
and uncomfortable circumstances. 1t
is fragrant violation OF law to open a
school with the intention of stopping it
short of five months Our constant aim
should be to lengthen the term beyond
five months.
The average daily attendance requir-
ed in order to make lawful school,
must be attendance within the twenty
days properly included in the month.
In some cases the teacher who fails to
keep up the average, resorts to the de-
vice of prolonging the school as a means
of equalization. This is not lawful,
and OF course superintendent ought
not to allow, much less to encourage
this practice, which might lead to seri-
Gus evils.
4 teacher who goes 10 the schoo!
house is entitled to his pay, whether he
has many, few or no pupils to teach.
There is too much disposition to saddle
the teacher with ali failures, whethe,
he be justly responsible or not.
About five inches of snow fell at
Mobile, Alabama. Sunday night Many
valuable trees were broken by the
weight of the snow. About four inches
of snow fell in New Orleans, being the
heaviest since 1852. Augusta, Georgia,
had the heaviest snowfall ever known
there, but the snow melted almost as
fast as it fell. Advces FROM the interior
of South Carolina report the heaviest
snowfall in fifty years. In Whining
ton N. @, about three inches of snow
fell.

VENNOR'S PREDICTIONS OF THE WEATHER.
Those who credit the predictions of Venn0r,
the Canadian weather prophet, were no doubt
surprised to find the weather cold last week,
in view of his prediction that the weather
would be mild from the 18th q; January to the
18th of February. Two mornings last week the
mercury fell to 10 degrees above zero, % de-
grees below freezing, and two other mornings it
fell to Is degrees above zero. IA degrees below
freezing. In ordinary Winters, when the mer-
curry falls as low as 10 degrees above zero, it is
considered intensely cold, and not mild wealth
er by "any manner of means" Those who
will take the trouble to observe the We ather in
connection with the predictions of Vennor,
Tice, or "any other man. who will venture to
foretell the character OF the weather at any par
ticular day, as long as week or more in ad-
vance, will find that their predictions cannot
be relied upon. Any man may guess, and will
sometimes guess correctly Vennor has a
double chance to gain credibiiity for his pre-
dictions; for If the weather here happens to
correspond with them. he gets the credit for
having predicted correctly. If &c does not cor
respond, then he is relieved fIuaa The discredit
of failure by saying that he is nf predicting for
this latitude, but for that of Ca natsl.

Chicago Tribune ON Arthur.

He is, according to all accounts, q
man OF warm personal attachments.
The part he took in the Conkling
fight at Albany, though his position IS
vice president of the United States
should have kept him out Of it, was an
evidence of this characteristic. But
his friends, if Mr.. Plat fairly repre-
sents them. are apparently disposed
to urge upon him course which,
though it may be of advantage to them,
would obviously diminish public con-
idencc at the outset Of IN administra-
ton that ought TO be as nearly as pos
sible continuation Of Garfeld's I'D.
ministration. Gen. Arthur ought n 1t
to ignore Gen. Grants experience,
whose pretcntious friends were the
people who put upon his administra-
ton all the scandals incident thereto,
brought great embarrassment to him,
and subsequently betrayed him into a
candidacy for third term which wal
sure to DO vetoed by public opinion
So long as Gen. Arthur's friends, OF
some Of them, continue to outline q
policy for him from their selfish point
of view, in case he shall become presi
dent, it is proper that public opinion
should combat them and seek to save
him from the trouble which they
would make for him if they could have
their way.
