The BeSSemer Steel supply is thouobt;

The Bessemer Steel supply is thoughtb
some to be in danger Of rapid decrease,
caused by the exhaustion of Italian and
Spanish ores. A Pennsylvania company
has purchased large Cuban mines and dis
coveries of the ore have also been made
in Nova Scotia. All that prevents this
country being flooded with these foreign
ores is the duty of rs cents per ton, raised
to that figure by the last Congress. If this
import could be absolutely prohibited it
would prove of mestimable value to this
country. Under the basic process this for
eign ore is not essential to the manufac-
ture of steel. There are mountains of
minerals in this very Valley of Virginia.
which, under the improved methods, can
be converted into as fine steel as the for
eign ores are capable of producing. They
are accessible, exist in vast quantities. but
their development will be slow as long as
men are paid from $1.00 to $500 per dav
here, whilst in Cuba the same work is done
at from 16 to 20 cents. 1t is cheaper to
mine there and pay duty of rs cents per
ton, besides the long transportation, than
to mine it at our very door at the price
paid for labor. Had the duty been put at
~ per ton, Virginia would have felt the
effect ere this.

A Wise Action.

The Postmaster General has declared
the Louisiana Lottery a swindle-a mere
devise for obtaining money through the
mails by means of false and fraudulent
pretences, misrepresentation and prom
ises. He has forbidden the postmaster at
New Orleans to pay out any orders drawn
in favor of M. A. Dauphin, and instructed
him to return those which may be in his
possession to the senders. Had this action
been taken years ago it would have been
worth thousands of dollars to this city
alone, to say nothing Of the county, State
and nation at large. There is scarcely a
day that orders are not sent from the
Staunton office to the Louisiana Lottery.
and in a majority Of instances those who
send are persons least able to lose their
money. 1t will not do to say that those who
invest their means in this way do so with
their eyes open, and that restrictions ought
not to be placed upon the exercise of indi-
vidual will. With equal propriety the
same argument could be used in defence
of three card-monte and gambling estab.
lishments generally. The difficulty is that
reliance is placed upon the assurance that
those who invest are on an equal footing
with those who receive the money, less a
small percentage for operating expenses
&c.
We trust the decision of the Postmaster
General in this case will have the effect OF
crushing out the entire system of lottery
swindling which has been so prevalen
during the past ten years.

To the Press and the Publ lie.

The Institution for the Education of the
Deaf and Dumb and the Blind will COM
mence it's next session Sept. 5th. We learn
from the principal that there is accommoda-
tion for many more pupils than are usually
found upon the rolls of the Institution. This
is indeed strange, considering the fact that
there are in the State of Virginia double
as many deaf mute and blind children as
are generally in attendance at any session
of the school. This is mainly due, we
think, to the false impression, now exist
ing in many quarters, that the Institution
is mere charity school, asylum OF genteel
poor house, where these unfortunate chill
dren are considered and treated as mere
paupers. The writer of this in position
to know-and toknOw certainly-how er-
roneous and unfair is this Judgment of a
noble institution which the State, in her
beneficence, had createdfor the benefit of a
class Of her citizens that are so properly
entitled to her fostering care and provi-
dence.
The Institution being educational in its
character, and purposing as it's special Of
flee to do for the deaf mute and the blind,
what our universities and colleges do for
those in possession of all their faculties
provides for its pupils not only thorough
English education, but also affords them
instruction of high order in art and mll-
sic under competent and experienced mas
ters. In addition to it's academic benefits.
its pupils have the opportunity of acquiring
some one of the useful trades, such as
type-setting, tailoring, shoe-making, car
pentry, making, &c., under skillful
workmen and instructors, and are thus en-
abled to leave it's walls with both hand and
brain educated for useful and profitable
work in life. The appointments for the
sick are most excellent, and the care and
supervision exercised over the younger
pupils, especially, is Of that kind and solic-
itouS character as to indicate Enthusiastically
the sincere regard entertained by the
officers and teachers of the unfortunate
yet interesting children over whom they
have been placed in charge.
The Institution is free to all who are in
need of it's benefits, and those who are not
able to provide clothing have it furnished
them.
We trust that our brethren of the press,
throughout the State will call attention to
these facts and endeavor to evoke the assist
ance OF all, i'll rendering this splendid In
stitution effective of that widespread
and beneficial influence for which it has
been designed.

The Wheat Crop.

Not for many years has the prospect
been so fine for an abundant yield of wheat
of the best quality as the harvest just
gathered affords. Not only was there an
increased acreage, but the quality every
where in this section has far exceeded eX-
pectation. 1t was feared that the recent
rains would have seriously interfered with
the harvesting, and that much Of the
wheat in the shock would been injuriously
affected. So far as we have been able to
learn, and we have made diligent inquiry,
not one in twenty-five farmers throughout
our county failed to get his grain off in
good condition. But few as yet have
threshed. Those few, however, are as
tonished at the yield. An intelligent far
mer told us the other day, that Il field
which he had thought might possibly aver
age eighteen bushels to the acre, had pro-
duced near thirty bushels as it came from
the machine. AS general thing 25 per
cent. has been added to the most fiattering
estimate made and then it falls short of the
actual outcome. Not only inquantity, but
in quality is the new grain exceptional.
1t is smooth, plump and heavy, sound to
the core and meaty, in short the finest crop
that has been gathered in this section for
a generation.

The recent speech Of Judge Hoadly, al
Hamilton, Ohio, was the production of a
professional demagogue. There was nc
honesty OF fairness in it, and exposes a
desperate state of the party that he repre-.
sents, which should call for such trim
ming, perversions and misstatements.-
The Trade Dollar was the result Of Dem
ocratic resolution. offered by Samuel J.
Randall, and supported by s. S. Cox, yet
Hoadly says the Republicans are respon-
sible for it and the Is per cent. discount,
which comes off the poor man who may
hold it. Throughout the entire address
there was an absence of fair dealing and
manly argument, which must have a bad
effect upon the intelligent people of that
State.

kerden has made q statement to the govern
ment counsel, and also statements to q star re-
porter concerning the Belford check matter, which
explain the relations OF Dorsey and Rerdel
These statements are TO the following effect:
ssln the latter part OF August, or beginning OF
September, 1879, Rerdel was sent for by banker.
He went 70 the bank, and there was shown
The check was for S, 1000. payable to J. B. b. or
James B. Belford or Gas he thinks "bearer," and
of BY Dorsey Tns had
nature were so Irregular and bad that the bank
fore desired Resdel to give his Opinion about It.
kerdeu examined the check and said ut had un-
douoteaiy been written ana signed by g. w. Dor
1t" The check was paid
g. w. Dorsey returned TO Washington about the
doubt about the check, and what he [RerdelD had
said TO the bank. Dorseys reply was, 'No; was
not drunk. wrote that check in the cars on my
written"
A few days afterwards Dorsey gave the check
book to Rerdsll TO make up his mall account The
STUB or the s., 600 check was there marked ~ b.
b., $4,000. MAIL" and Rerdell charged that to the
mail account, AS directed by Dorsey.
Rerdell says the check book Will show he Is tell
ing the truth, and there Is no other way to verify
HIS statement, because no bank records the name
OF the payee of check. He also says the men at
the bank must remember about t, and the entries
OF the checks OF August or September. 1879, will
show one sum OF $4,000 charged against Dorsey.
Ihc government couiu not oHer.tnlS testimony,
becaus e you cannot corroborale q witness on a
collateral matter, and besides the court ruled
out RefdelfS testimony relating TO Relford.
whether the check was given TO Bedford or not,
was matter that Rerdell had no interest In. AZ
forwards, from conversations between Dorsey ana
others, overheard by RerGeil. he came to under
stand that Dorsey, Beltord, and crowd OF friends
were on the train, going west. 1t was proposed
to play game with cards. Dorsey was one OF
the players Belford was the stakeholder and
cashier for the crowd.
Dorsey lost nearly all the money he had, and, In
settlement with Belfori, gave him this 5000
check. which was put In bank for collec-
ton by either Belforf or one OF the winners to
whom Belford transferred the check I'm settlement
Dorsey was shrewd and charged his loss to mail,
ana thus generously permitted BOsler. Brady, Vale
L. Co to share his loss"
The above statement of Rerdell has thrown
some light upon the transaction, and the inter-
themselves
