The Richmond and Tappnhannock
Mail Route-Thc Contractor Defies

the Government

For about ten years the people have had
a daily line OF mails from Richmond TO
Tappahannock. All contractors until the
present one, j. II. Rouse, took the line'
have been able to perform their obligations.
This contractor more than two months ago,
under pretence that his horses had the
pinkeye, has been carrying the mails trt-
Deekiy. The people in the counties OF
Hanover, King william, King and queen,
Essex, Richmond, Northumberland, Ian
caster, and Westmoreland, who are inter,
ested in this route, want their accustomed
daily line. DR.. G. X. Gilmer, the Rich
mond postmaster; the Hons: George 1.
Garrison and George d. Wise, and the
Postmaster-G General, have all been appealed
to. DR.. Gilmer says he can't do ANYTHING.
The other gentlemen seem 10 DC eAcI,nls
themselves, and the Second Assistant fost-
master-General seems indignant, ana en-
tiers up fines against Rouse, Dut !, uoes nol

probably upon the side OF Rouse we call

road Yesterday. was in the city late in the

il is thought that the city Will be bene-

This road when finished. or perhaps we
should say if ever finished, will be the
shortest line between Cincinnati and Wash

much shorter than the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad that it will really be nearer to Bal
timore from Cincinnati by the new road
than by the Baltimore and Ohio.

Farmer-Judges.

..The tools 10 the man tina; can use
,hcm.v Is a good motto. No man has a
higher respect for the farmer and 'he iarin-
,r,s lie than We. We would prefer II 10
any other. so far as we can know Without
having tried IL. We hold, too, tha' there
are thousands OF people, white and black,
in every city who ought to be living upon
Sarms-who would there be able TO pro-
vide much more abundantly for their own
wants and the wants OF their children than
they can ever hope To do while they re-
main in cities working ten hours day
every day in the year for bare subsiSt-
ence. The poorest farmer that has any
land or thrift al all can have his saturdays
aud his Sundays. and his church-mee'ing
DAYS, and as much wood as he can burn,
and an abundance OF good food, and other
luxuries. il we may so call them, unknown
10 the workingmen in the city.
However, we have straycd from our sub
icct. We meant only TO say that whilst we
honor the farmer us highly as we do man
Of any other calling, we do not select him
10 attend TO law-buSiness for Us. When we
desire to have a law construed. we call upon
4 LAWYER. When we are in need Of medi-
cine. we send for physician. When we
desire TO obtain the services OF any expert,
We select an expert in the business we want
,lone-not an expert in some other.
Therefore. IL was no reflection upon the
farmers i'm the House of Delegates for us
10 say that it was a farce for them to pass 4
resolution reversing decision Of the SUI
prone Court OF Appeals OF Virginia. The
statement was the statement of a simple
fact. We wouldn't give a penny for the
opinion Of all the farmers in the House
upon point involved in IN action at law in
which thousands OF dollars Of our property
Wa, at stake-not penny. But we would
give hundreds OF dollars for the opiniorof
some Of the lawyers in that body.
II farmers are competent to cons,rUe the
laws Of the State, due proportion of them
ought to be elected judges. We have not
noticed the name of any farmer amongst
those Of the men recommended by Reid
justcrs for promotion 70 the judicial bench.
We haze not seen that any merchant or
mechanic has bccu recommended for Judge
CHRISTIANS place, nor for a seat upon the
bench Of the Court Of Appeals. nor that
any farmer has been elected to administer
Justice in the rural districts. Why not?
Because Rc5diusters know that it is al bosh
the talk about farmers, or merchants, or
mechanics. which assumes that their opn-
ion. are worth anything upon law point,
though some Of the lawyers recommended
by ReddiuSter, as fit foY elevation from the
bar 10 the bench arc perhaps not at all en-
titled to such promotion. We would have
good lawyers upon the bench; not good
farmers. The farmer himself never en-
ploys a farmer to cOnstrue the law for him.
