months by party OF enterprising men from
Philadelphia. The mica from this nine
excels that OF the mines OF North Carolina.
They work about fifty hands, and pay very
fair wages, which, as matter OF course,
belps the community very much. The mica
Is nut in shipping order here and sent 10

Rev. Thomas o. Summers, ID. d., OF
Nashville, Tenn, editor Of the Methods!
QUARTERLY Repie,o, preached yesterday al
Court-Street Methodist Episcopal church tC
large congregations. In the morning his
text was Luke XII, 10. He made feeling
allusion to The late Bishop Early, and to bis
association with that good man, Ia years
long past, in the work OF the Church. Al
the Second Presbyterian church Rev. james
Dnwidde preached for Mr.. Rawlings. Al
81. Paul's church and Epiphany chapel the
sermons both had reference ID the recent
severe affections that have befGllen tbt
Church in this city. The day was clement
and the services were In general well al
tended.
The talk about the calling OF Rev. j. n
Rawlings to Big Lick appears to have origi
mated In an idea that Mr. Rawlings wanted
10 90 10 tuc Country On aSSouu1 VI n'
health. This impression is without founda
ton, as his health was never better than a
present. 1t Is not likely now that he vii
be called, since II is understood that hi:
church would not give him up.

Railroad Charges.

The Huntington Advertiser has Thoughts
fol editorial on the subject OF railroad
charges, called out by the bills which have
recently been introduced into The West Viz
ginia Legislature to regulate such charges
on the railroads in that State. 1t demon
strates clearly that the attempt to regulate
the business of railroads according to I'M
tried theories may result disasttously to
some of the most important interests in The
community. To make 1t appear how utterly
fallacious Is the claim for a tariff OF freight
rates according to geographical location
tina, is, 80 much per nile whether the dis
lance the freight is hauled be long or short -
the Advertiser shows that under the opera
ton Of such law the Quinnimont miner
would have such an advantage over his
Hawks Nest competitor as would probably
result 10 the closing OF the coa-mines at
the latter place; aud the miner at Eagle
Station such an advantage over his com-
pe,itor at Coalmont as would probably re-
suit IN closir the mines at Coalmont.
The advertiser thus makes it apparent Ia
the West Virginia Legislature that IT would
be well to make haste slowly. But 1t then
goes on to air for regulating railroad
charges plan OF its own which Is also OBJ
] eciionabe. We doubt that the subject has
been studied thoroughly enough to enable
any Legislature to pass wise laws regulating
the business OF railroads. IL would not be
difficult, we imsgine, 10 prove TO any rea'
sonabie man that the small through.charge
1 3 often all that enables a railroad 10 carry
as cbeaply as ii does the local freight
offered to 1t at its various depOts
the borders Of a State as passenger!
and pay the lowest Of through rates, are no
ipfrequenily entitled TO the entire credit o
enabling Tue people residing within tba
State TO travel at rates which otherwise th'
railrosd company would have 10 raise b!
perhaps 20, 30. 40, or 80 per cent. AS 4
general rule, railroads are run upon bust
ness principles. They ali clsim TO be s,
run. IL, therefore, the railroad companie
do no. charge through freights and through
passengers ss much 10 proportion to tb'
distances they are hauled as they charge 10
cal irsigbts and local passengers, 1t may b
safely assumed that II is because they tbinl
that they can thus make most money. II Il
certainly not done out OF tender considers
ton for the pockets OF their exlra-State pa
irons. E u.

for a seat in tue national House OF
Representatives, speaks as II II consi'
dercd the practice Of paying both con-
testau,s In such cases an unmlxed evil. We
cannot so regard It. II tends 10 make sach
cam iJatc staud up for his rights and his con-
s,ituents' rights, and no doubt originated IN
a desire TO encourage contests IN cases
where contests ought TO be made. we %
not mean that In every instance The unsuc-
cessful contestant should be paid as II he bad
succeeded. That would be worse than not
paying any Of tho contt s,ants. Butthe candl'
dates for Cong ress sre many OF them too poor
to risk contes, even In the most meritorious
OF cases. and canvassiug boards would
much of,ener than they do declare the wrong

sional practice Of encouraging every candt
date to prosecute his Just claims TO seat 10
the Capitol. Only when the contestant na'
no case does The House OF Representative
make him pay his own costs; and sueh
rule is, we think, right. IL condnces 10

Editors Dispatch The laud assessor sp'
poiuted by the Rtadjuster Judge, HeZehiah
TAYLOR, OF AlbemarlF. in reassesslDg TIE
lands Of SAID Judge and Of j. Massie smith,
near Shadwell. made an assessment that
should bring the blush Of shame to the
checks OF the assessor and Taylor.
There were 49, acres in one tract. OF which
Mr.. Smith (wno is DEMOCRACY had ABOUT
five wears ago sold Judge Taylor 200 acres
1.-THE best land by far, with few or no build
ings thereOnl at S2j per acre, or S5,O00. On
tbl, land TAYLOR has put from sS0O TO
81 900 worth OF buildings for dwelling
and so forth, and very superior vineyard
of from twenty 10 twenty-five acres OF Dne
grapes. wired and posted, and the grapes
from il brought him last year about Sl'oOo.
The assessor called on Smith to know wnat
he was willing TO have his land assessed at,
and he declined 10 say. Then the assessor
asked if Smith would be willing TO let The
then assessment (Sl3j0 per acre Tor Tue 20
acres and 81 600 for the building>) stand,
and Smith replied he would not want IL as
sessed at lower, figures. The assessor let
Smiths land stand at the same assessment,
and put TaylOI's 200 acres down al the
nominal SUN OF 50 per acre, or Sl,SOO, anu
NOTHING for the buildings. Since this lcaS
done TAYLOR has borrowed, by giving deed
OF trust on this 200 acres OF land, the sum
OF S3,7OO, and paid off the purchase-money
due under Smiths sale TO him. Taylor can
get So 900 cash any day for this vineyard
property.
These are facts on record, and which can
not he denied. Such cases a. THIS are nu'
