Our esteemed friend, a. L. Case, Esq,
of Marion Center, was at The NEWS
Office Tuesday. He has been resident of
the Center about fifteen years, and has
prospered as he deserved 10 do. We are
glad to hear of the continued growth of
Marion county. The increase in pop
ulation from 1870 to 1880, was from 1858
to 2,471, a most remarkable growth. 1t
is destined TO be one of the best counties
in the state. Many of the Russians set
tied there, and are among the most val
liable and useful citizens of the county.
We are always glad to see Mr.. Case

A son Of Robert JEFF. in attempting to
board moving train at the Santa Fe
depot yesterday, missed his hold and fell,
coming within an inch of being thrown
under the car wheels and barely escap-

had frequent occasion TO admonish the
boys of Emporia against this dangerous
practice, but We fear nothing will ever
work reformation in this direction
short of the dreadful results which its
continuance will surely entail.

Saturday night, G.. S. w. Lewis was
nominated Us a candidate for coun-
Gilman from the first ward, and
party named Hoffman for consta-
BILE. We are requested to say by a
number of colorcd citizens from the
ward IN question, that not more than
three voters from that ward were present
ut the meeting, and that the nomination
does not reflect, in any degree, the wish
es or sentiments of its coIored voters,
who resent the idea of mass convention
choosing candidates for them to support.

Among The Evidences Oh vitaltty given U,
The State we know OF none 80 sdtisiac,oiyi
IN sentimental point Of view, as ,ne uls'
NAV Of energy lately offered by me blsto,l
cal Society. This has been NAM. esleu W
various ways, and no man who feels an ~
triifoent interest in the giories OF VIZ tn'e
can fail 10 rejoice that the custodlans OF i.e,
past records are so full OF welldirtctee
zeal aud yIgor. And The results achieved
arc all the more gratifying because The So
ciely has been painfully embarrassed ever
since the war for the necessary funds 10 pros
eeute its labors. But, notwithstanding
this, Il has secured, thanks to the West
moreIand Club, ample rooms to hold us
treasures, where they will be safer than De-
fore, and more easily available for use
The society has also secured the Dinwlddie
Papers, q possession Of great value, ana
here again IL has 10 thank the munibeence
OF Mr.. CoIcoran; so IL Is plain, as we nave
said. that It has done great deal with
very limited bank account. But ibis
Is not all by any means. The scheme
Of charging the membership has been
a very happy one, and this has
added both moral and pecunilry force 10
the Association. iudlciouS ampliicaiion
OF this plan might be devised, @e think,
and the Soclety's rolls still further enlarged
by the addition OF the names OF the right
sort If people. But, without pressing this
point or going further into detail in this
direction, we add 10 the other good services
OF the Society the election Of Mr.. Stuart to
the office Of president, made vacant by the
death Of the lamented Grigsbv. Helping
itself, the Society, like the farmer in
the fable, will not be long in ind'
ing help from others, and the others
In this case ought TO be the gentle
men OF Virginia, OF both town and country,
who by a triHing tax upon themselves could
endow this noble Society and place its trea-
sures beyond the danger OF destruction by
fire, which must always In more or less
alarming manner threaten them.
Whether they will ever do this is more
than we can undertake 10 say, but by the
increased membership OF the Society The
way is opened to a canvass Of the matter in
the State.
We infer from q paragraph In the Rich-
m0nd Standard that certain munlhcent
patron OF arts and letters we'll known TO the
country may provide freprOoi protectionfor
the books and papers Of the Society, in
which case the slow and IabOrious process
OF general canvass Of the state for this
purpose would not then be necessary. But
he it as il may, this is something that re-
mains for the future, while in the immediate
present the duty Of all good VirgiDans,
whether by birth or adoption, is to aid the
Society as far as possible In its noble endea'
yOr TO increase lis usefulness and resou' cas.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Road

A short time ago Messrs. HILL, SKINKER
& WATKINS addressed a letter of inquiry TO
the officers OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway for the purpose OF eliciiing infor-
nation as to it's connections West, and It's
proposed facilities at IT'S terminal point
Newport News. In answer they received
the following letter from Mr. +. 5. FITCH,
general freight agent Of that line:
"Replying to your several questions:
HFIrsi, The work Of extending the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railway to deep water at
Newport News, also its western extension
from Huntington TO connection with the
western system OF railways at Cincinnati
and Louisville is being prosecuted Yigor-
cusly, and will be fully cOnsummated by the
fist OF October.
"Second. Our wbarves at Newport News
are under construction, and VIII he ready
for business by the tine the ROAD Is opened
10 that point.
Third. A gain elevator, having stO.
raue CAPACITY OF one and bali million bush
els. has been contracted for and viii be pul
up at Newport News immediately. We are
also contracting for the construction OF an
elevator at Richmond, with capacity OF
400. 900 bushels, which will be completed In
about four mentbs.
"Fourlh. Our through rates OF freight to
Newport News from all interior and west
ern points will be as low as to any other
Atlantic seaport.
"Fftb. When these extensions are com
pleied-say 1st OF October, 1881, possibly
thirty days earlier-we shall be in direct,
unbrokeD. all-rail connection with all the
large trade centres in the interior and west
ern States. In addition, would say tbat II
is the intention OF the owners and managers
OF this property to make il one OF the great
through lines for transportation between
the West and all Atlantic and foreign sea-
ports; aud IN the way OF cheap aud ample
facilities, our lne will be second 10 none IN
this country, possessing as 1t does grades
easier than any other trunk line. ard being
exempt from the rigors OF the cold northern
routes and the extrcne beat Of The southern
lines, we feel confident in asserting that
time will demonstrate this TO be the most
advantageous and popular route for trans
portaiion between the West and Atlantic
and foreign seabOard points.

furnish you will be cheerfully given"

Cabinet Officers Threatened.

A telegram from Washington 10 the New
York Tribune SAYS q" II Is understood that
since the shooting OF the President several
members OF the Cabinet have received
threatening letters from persons who are
evidently imbued with the belief that the
Government owes them a living and that
where opportunities have failed threats may
succeed. One member OF the Cabinet in bis
mail last Sunday morning found a letter,
which in substance was as follows: You
retain in your department that - -.
This is to warn you that unless he is dis.
missed before August /, 1891, you Will be
shot down the first chance. Unless you
remove him before the lst day OF August,
goodbye for we mean business There
were certain circumstances connected with
this letter which appeared to render il
possible that the writer might be
discovered, and steps have been taken
in that direction. 1t is understood
that suspicion points strongly to a man who
was for several years employed in the De-
partment in question in one OF the south.

public service. and has been.trying for some
time TO secure a reinstatement. IL is said
that he nearly succeeded before it was dis
discovered that be was untrustwOrthy and
unworthy II appointment, and it appears
that the fact OF his unworlhinCss was
made known through an investigation made
by the officer who must be removed before
August. 1881, as the price OF the personal
safety Of tue head OF the Department. This
individual is now in Washington, and, as
before mentioned, circumstances recently
discovered strongly indicate that he is the
author Of the threatening letter. Whether
sufficient evidence will be found TO warrant
his arrest is still uncertain"
