REGULATING BoNDs.-What is the matter
in staid old Rockingham? AT the late term of
the Circuit Court, there were si1 DEGREES of di-
vorce entered. This is Unprecedented IN that
county. 1t would seem that the spirit of repu-
diation has so demoraiized some of its citizens
that they are beginning torepudiate even mar
ital bonds. Some have regard for no bonds
save those that bind them in servitude to Ma.
hone. The distance between the reputation
of financial and marital bonds may be tray
ersed in shorter time than many suppose. A

A TERRIBLE CALAMITY.-A most heart
rending calamity occurred at the brick-yard
Of Messrs. James Fields & Co., yesterday
evening in this place. Mr.. Thos. A. Fields,
eldest son of Maj, James Fields, was oiling
some of the machinery and the sleeve Of
his blouse was caught by one Of the cogs
and he was drawn into the jaws of death
before the alarm could be given or the ma
ohinery stopped. His right arm was torn
from the socket, and the right side of the
body torn open, exposing the lungs-he
fingered until one O'Clock this morning in
the most intense agony, when death en-
sued.
Maj. Fields and family have the pro-
foundest sympathy of the entire communi-
ty, in this their hour of great sorrow.
Mr.. Thos. A. Fields was over thirty
years of age, and had many attached friends
who will learn with deep sorrow, of his
tragic end. Peace to his memory.-Abiaq.

According 10 Republican doctrine, the
question of revenue must be decided, not
by what amount is necessary to be raised
for the support of the government, but how
much can the people be compelled to pay
as profit to manufacturers. This is the
common sense view. Tariff is tax. Now
If twenty-five per cent. ad ralorem will
raise all the necessary revenue. is it right to
make the people who consume pay fifty
per cent. for protection to enable the man
ufacturer to make twenty-five per cent
dividend. --Lynchbvg Adrance.

that church is fortunate that has Pastor that

known able ministers and learned theologians

have known ministers of but moderate intel

of great service, because they were industrious

more good out of the pulpit than in it, and he
will do more good than an ADLER preacher who
is deficient as Pastor

We do not propose to go into lengthy
definition Of what we mean by Mahoneism.
The term is too plain to need this. In
using it we would however use it much as
we would the name of Mahone-thes synonym
of all that is reprehensible and bad in poll
tics. NIahoneism is proscriptive, unseru-
pulous, wary, treacherous, deceitful Ma
honeism, signifying the disreputable politi-
of Malone, is not reimbursement
Of the debt, has nothing to do with read
justment. Because man was readjuster
it does not follow that he should cling to
Malone and go the whole length of Ma
honeism into the republican party. Ma
honeism and readjustment are widely diff
ferent. Many Democrats honestly went in
to readjustment. That organization accom-
plished all it originally intended. 1t fought
its battle upon single issue and won.
There its mission ended. But Malone, as
the great leader, long since determined to
use the large organization of Democratic
readjustment to further his own schemes of
personal aggrandisement We think this
definition is clear, and to the large body of
Democratic Readjusters we mean no offense
when we use the term Mahoneism.
For Malone, politically, we have an un-
conquerable and inexpressible derision.
For honest Readjuster Democrats we have a
kindly regard, and expect to find them
again in association with us and marching
under the old democratic flag of victory as
of yore.-Old Commonwealth.
