Argument Versus Fact.

What confidence should be placed in the
statements Of the address signed at the
close of the session and recently prOmul-
gated under the signatures OF the Reid
iuster members of the Legislature may be
Judged from the following:
"The Reidjusters simply proposed to
make twelve instead Of eighteen judicial
circuits: to make one circuit, Tor instance,
of two that had been formed in 1910, OF
counties that had always before constituted
one circuit. and in which there is not BUSH
ness to engage competent and industrious
Judge two months i'm the year. This change
would have reduced the actual expenses Of
circuit courts quite $4,000 per annum,
besides the relief 1t would have given to
witnesses and jurors compelled TO attend
OH indoent courts and judges.
"The land-salcs bill was designed TO eff
feet a saving in the fees and costs attending
settlement OF estates. The dead leave
widows and orphans as the wards Of the
State. The State assumes by her laws TO
take care OF such Interests. Under the pre-
sent dilat0Iy and expensive, ii not iraudu-
lent system, We see widows and children
subsisting on pittances meted out by COM
missioncrs,' &C.. Nc.
When the Legislature came together
there were three circuit Judges serving
under commissions Of the Governor issued
to ill vacancies. Subsequently another
(Judge LACY rendered his resignation to
take effect January ], 1888. Here, without
resort TO revolutionary measures, were
four judgeships that might have been abol-
ished; that Is, the circuits might have been
consolidated with other circuits, had the
Readjuster party been so bent upon saving
money to the Commonwealth. What did
they do: They elected Judge HUGHES to
the Culpeper circuit, Judge FORD TO the
Danvllle circnt, Mr.. FITCHETT TO the East
ern.Shore circuit, and Mr.. HENLEY to the
Williamsburg circuit. Instead Of reducing
the number OF circuits from eighteen to
fourteen, as they had here golden oppor-
tunity TO do, they installed into Office four
OF their iavorites and went home claiming
that what they wished in the redistricting
Of the State for circuit judges was to save
money! In the debates in the two houses
there was hardly any protcnce OF this sort.
More than once the truth was avowed-
that the bill meant the turning out Of
"Funder" judges and the putting in OF
Readiuster judges.
IL the land-sales bill was such good
thing, why did the Readiusters defeat it
a. AS it passed the House it gave the appoint
ment OF commissioners to the Governor
4 The Senate amended the bill only so far a,
to make the commissioners elective by the
people. The House would not assent tc
the amendment. The Senate would MOI
recede. So the bill died. To say the least
the Readiusters were just rs much re
sponsibe as the Big -Four and the Demo
Gratis for its defeat. Surely il the sorrow,
OF the widows and orphans so deeply
affected them, they could have surrendered
such minor question as whether the com.
missioners TO relieve their distress should
be elected by the people or appointed by
the Governor.

LYNCHBURG.
A PLEASANT ArrAR-MAs0SIc ELECTION
STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

TCorrcspoudcnce OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
JUsE 7, 1882.
One OF the most remarkable and inter
estinp celebrations ever witnessed In
Lynchburg. II not in the State, came OF at
the Norycl House last night, the occasion
being the ninetieth anniversary OF the birth
OF Hon. James Garland, judge OF the Cor
poraton Court for the city OF LynchD'irg.
The celebration, which was a magnificent
banquet, was gotten up by the members OF
our city bar. and designed to exhibit In a
public and substantial way their admire
ton for and appreciation OF 'he charac'er
OF the venerable Judge.
Major II. G.. II. Kean presided, and the
affair, from the beginning to its close IN the
early hours OF this morning, was one OF
rare brilliancy, and throughout feast OF
reason and flow of soul. The hero OF the
occasion was on hand and made remark
ably able, forcible, and feeling address, re-
ferring in tender words to his long and
busy life: his associations with men whose
names have become household words; to
the political history OF the cOuntry to his
brief tenure upon Office and life; to the
great Importance OF a judiciary and bar
above reproach or suspicion; and con-
tlu'itu W bAli al tulO-! upon VIZ ~
bar and kindest wishes for their temporal
and future happiness.
After the address OF Judge Garland nu-
merous toasts were offered and appro-
priately responded to by members OF the
bar. Ii was an exclusive assembly, no
newspaper-men being invited except the
editors-n-ch and no toast 10 the press
was offered. Just here 1t may be mention
4 a. J,,If al. T.. Yonnta1 "a Ia tho
oldest Mason in Virginia, ii not in the
Union, last night attended Marshall Lodge.
OF which he is Il member, for the first time
in many years. How he was received it
would be superlluous to say. Judge Gar
land opened the Corporation Court at the
usual hour this morning.
At the annual communication OF Marshall
Lodge, No. 80, last night. the following Of
ficers were elected for the ensuing Masonic
year: Master. Samuel Il. Rucker; Senior
Warden, Herbert J. Bass Junior Warden,
Peter +. Price; Treasurer, William L..
Page; Secretary, Samuel ID. Preston; Sc
nior Deacon. Elijah T.. Meneicc; Junior
Deacon, Charles II. Ireland; Steward, Isaac
y. Price; Tiler, William l.. Leckie !;
Board OF Trustees James Boyd, Morton
c. jameson, Richard Pollard, Leslie G..
Talbot. Albert III. Pettigrew, and Robert
r. Craighill.
For some time past Bridge street, orr
principal thoroughiare from the railroad
dep0t:, has been blockadcd by hands en-
gagged in regarding, rcpaying, and pre-
pairing for new nagging. The work i. SUI
perintendcd by Richmond man, and
when finished will hardly resemble the
Bridge street Of old. Street Improvements
are now progressing in all parts Of the city
with vim never before known here.

To tie Editor of he Uisnnich :

Your correspondent cold Sledge in
your paper OF Sunday last hits the nail
square on the head. 1t is the sentiments OF
the Democrats Of this county. Let his adj
vice and counsels preyalin the Democratic
party, and victory will be sure. The DEM
ocrats OF this section are tired OF compro.
missing with the enemy. Give Us true
and tried Democrat for our candidate for
congressman at large, and this old county
will give him Il full vote. Our people are
opposed TO taking n candidate from the
ranks Of the enemy. We don't understand
that Mr.. Massey claims TO be Democrat.
but insists that he is Readiuster, and
lighting Malone in the Readjuster party.
Let them fight it out. Ii Is 10 quarrel OF
ours. We have host Of good men who
can and will make the fight il called upon
to do 1t. Therefore we say, in the language
OF " A Voter in Southside Virginia." in
to-day's Dispatch, "Let us make square.
honest fight upon true Democratic princi-
pies, and II we fall, let us fall defending
them with our faces to the foe"

To The Editor Of the Dispatch:
Sir,-The project for the construction of
a railroad from Christiansburg depot to the
great IRON and coal fields OF Brush noun
tain, in Montgomery county, has crystal
lied in the form of an organization Of 4
company under the charter-name OF the
Blacksburg Railroad Company, with Dr..
Harvey Black as president; Hugh {. Pres

secretary and treasurer; and the following

packer.
The location O; the Virginia Agricultural
and Mechanical College at Black,blrg con-
stitutes an additional reason to those al
ready given for the construction OF this
road, operating a. it must to largely en-
nance the value OF this beautiful institute
ton.
We hear that the interest manifested by
the PEOPLE Of the section interested * al
most without parallel. and i being exhibit
ed by liberal subscriptions OF money and
coal, iron, and other valuable Interests. All
persons owning property in the country 70
be benefited, whether resident there ornot,
are expected to contrihutc TO the success
OF this enterprise. The engineer, Colonel
II. II. Fitzhugh, has been for some weeks en-
gagged upon the surveys OF thi, line, and find,
that he can reach the combined coal and
iron-fields in distance OF thirteen mile,
without a bridge, a tunnel. or any cut cX-
ceeding twenty-onc feet. |. Is said that
The distinguished feature oil this enterprise
IS that in The distance Of thirteen miles it
reaches what appears to be q large knob
OF rich brown hcmatitc ore. Th, ore is
found cropping out nearly from base to
top of the knob in immense boulders and
leGges, as though it constituted its princi-
pal formation. &.

MACKEY.-Mr. PAUL, of Virginia, voted
10 unscat Mr.. DIBBLE, OF South Carolina,
and TO seat MAC1EY. Now read what Mr..
MoULToS. OF Illinois, said about NAcKEY
in q speech in the House of Representatives.
Mr.. MOrLToN is a member OF the Committee
on Elections, and investigated the case. He
said
"Mackey, who has knowingly and viii
fully violated the law and every principle
that should actuate an honorable man, who
has fraudulentiy altered and perverted the
evidence in this case, who voluntarily
placed himself under the most suspicious
circumstances in relation to the record in
this case, which no honest man would sub
iect himself TO for a dozen seats in Con-
gress-Mr. Speaker, will not believe that
this House viii seat any such man as
Mackey. with all these accumulations OF
dishonorablc conduct upon his head and
before the country, unless the Republican
party has made up its mind to disregard
lair and honorable dealing and seize upon
power without regard to right. justice, or
consequence" Applause on the Demo
cratic side

The Lynchburg Adr0nce makes two
striking remarks anent the proposed &C.
quiescence in the candidacy Of Mr. MASSEY
for congressman at large. The fsst Is fol-
lows
"There are honest Democrats in this
Massey and Big-Four party who do not de-
sire to be carried to Radicalism. They
want TO come back. What is the best way
to get thcm?"
The second is this:
We suggest that but for Mr. Massey and
the Big Four there would not be any
Democratic clothes to wear outside OF Ran.
fuckers and John Barbour's districts, and
very few Democratic ermines on any bench.
Ii does not become Us 10 denounce Massey
and the Big -Four. They say they are
Democrats. Let us wait"
