sD- Brother Goulden, of the Mar
tiDsburg Herald, paid US visit last

tinsburg' Herald, paid US visit last
week, and the following is what ne
says of our town, citizens, &C.,
SnEPHERDsrowN.-T visitor i'm view
Ing this ancient town from distance is
not perhaps so favorably impressed with
its general outward appearance, but in
passing through its different streets and
noticing its business houses, schools and
churches, we cannot help but remark
that although Anticipated in appearance
and rather behind the general average
of tow Ms there are still unmistakable signs
of a once prosperous, energetic people,
and growing evidences Of the dawn of a
new era OF enterprise and advancement.
Shepherdstown has population of about
1000, is situated Oh the bank OF the pie
tnresque Potomac, and is one Of the old
est towns i'm West Virginia.
1t was once the metropolis, we are told,
of quite manufacturing centre, but
since the war Of '6l, which had the effect
Of Gripping the industries of the South
and was ruinOus to business and agricnl-
tural pursuits for many years 10 come by
the waste of life and property, it went
backward in common with towns all
thu ough the South, untilthe people taking
heart and courage again have put on the
armor of progress and advancement, and
are now determined TO push forward and
keep abreast with the spirit Of the times.
The paper mill is in operation, the cement
works are doing a good business, the
Shenandoah comes to its rescue, pouring
i'm new life and breathing fresh energy
opening out commercial intercourse
with the North and Southland giving
an impulse to progress and Improvement
the entire length Of its course. Among
the most important is the Agricultural
House, Machine Shop and Foundry in
course of erection. The foundations laid
are lO0x5S feet-the building to be of
brick. A stock company has been organ
lied, with capital of SIS, 900, sufficient it
is thought to build the works and furnish
with the necessary machinery. The Off
GERS Of the company are: President, Geo.
NJ. Beltzhoover; Treasurer, David Bill
myer; Secretary, w. N. Lemen; Stock
holders, John Ii. little, editor Register,)
G.. +. Butler, B. +. Harrison, G. Il. Lick
lider, John L. Richard and l.. w. Poffin-
berger.
1t has also a newspaper, the Register,
edited and published by John III. little.
AS good local newspaper, it stands
among our best of exchanges.
Judging from the number and appear
ance Of the churches of Shepherdstown,
we concluded that her citizens must be a
church-going people. They have also
good schools, and a college known as
Shepherd College, with a regular course
of studies, under the supervision of Prof.
McMurran, whose ability has given the
college the prestige it now enjoys. The
attendance is about IS scholars. On the
whole, ShepherdstOwn is pleasant
place, beautifully situated, and located in
wealthy country, and with energy and
capital properly directed is destined to be-
come one of the most thriving towns in
the State.

THE TARIFF COMMISSION.

"a The Tariff Commission Is beginning
their labors in cool quarters at Long
Branch, BY the sea- a New York Herald
reporter, under date of July %, gives an
account of the deliberations OF the Com-
mission and pen pictures Of the members,
&C., from when we clip the following
paragraphs - s.zz---, go -tose - ,ss
Yesterday the Tariff Commission prac-
tically began its. work. There had been
meetings for organization before, but the
first witness appeared before it yesterday
misunderstanding the representative OF the
chemical interests--and, although incl
dcntally admitting that some OF the duties
were a6surdly high, he pleaded with the
commission that it would not be wise to
disturb them.
But this body Of nine men, properly i'm
pressed with the opportunities within its
power, might make great place in the
coantry's history.
-Ihe Tariff Commissioners are represent
tatiye men in that they come from differ
ent sections and in that they osJen-
ably stand for all the great industries OF
the country.
. over against. the West End Hotel at
Long Branch there is block of Queen
Anne cottages, with broad galleries around
them aud green lawn in front. In one OF
these the Tariff Commission has establish
ed itself. An Eastlake table occupies one
end Of large room on the first floor, rum
ming from gallery to the rear, and the
breezes from the ocean sweep easily thrO'
from window TO window. Around this
table the nine Commissioners seat them
selves i'm cool and comfortable armchairs.
The carpet is soft and the color of 1t is
dead gold. The wall is bright with pic
lured suntlOwers. and tall lilies stand out
from the subducd background of the dado.
There are other armchairs and sofas for
visitors, and the expert to be heard is
seated At the table at the right hand Of the
president.
Mr.. Alexander r. Boteler is the typical
Virginian of the old schOol--courteous
but grave, with mind stored with politi-
cal and economic facts and "reminiscences,
and almost passionate i'll devotion TO his
people AMI section. He was the wing OPP
ponent of Randolph Tucker before West
Virginia was cut OIL from the mother State
and tile dividing line took him out of the
district in which he and the democratic
free trader had had many memorable con-
tests. The iron furnaces, the salt wells,
the timber and coal interests of his State
will be represented in the commission by
him.
"The country has outgrown the present
tariff laws, and" said Commission Porter
10 the Herald correspondent, "they are
admitted TO be absurd. unfair and incOn-
sistent. The fact that they were formed
hurTie dly and when the country was IN
need OF revenue is alone reason enough
for this, That the present commission

tariff, more just tariff, a more artistic
tariff, i'll may use that term, L have no

~ At the late West Virginia Educa-
tional meeting, Prof. Wilson, President Of
the West Virginia University, was intro
duced and made few remarks on the
place of the University i'm the Free School
System. He said ''it is at the head of the
Free School System where it is placed b.
law and where it should be-" He said
the German or English University was
easy to define, but that the American
University was not so easily defined, as
we had line of institutions called univer-
stiles ranging up almost from primary
schools to Yale, Harvard and the Univer-
stiles of Virginia anG Michigan, and that
his best efforts would be given to place the
West Virginia University as near the head
of the line as possible.

LEGIsLATgRE.-A writer at Harpers
Ferry to the Charlestown Spirit urges
Mr.. VIM. J. Kuott for the next House
OF Delegates, in the following compli-
mentaly terms:
We were gratifed to see in your is
sue of the 18th instant, communities
ton from Shepherdstown tavoring the
nomination Of Mr. WIN. J. Knott for
the Legislature. Having known this
gentleman for many years, we can en-
dorse all that was written in reference
to him, both as to his qualifications for
this important trust and the reputation
he has always borne for honesty OF pur-
pose aud strict integrity. We venture
the opinion that more reliable and
trustworthy citizen cannot be found to
represent us in the Legislature, and
trust that his natural capacity may have
its due influence with the delegates that
will compose our county nominating
convention, to the end that he may re-
ceive at their hands the nomination.
We feel confident that he will receive
the hearty support of all the best ci,i
zens of this place and vicinity.
