WE offer no apology to our readers

WE offer no apology to our readers
for the length of the excellent article
copied from the Petersburg Nail entl'
tied "'Che Jacobins Of l79l.-Those o
1883 IDENTICAL" A careful perusal o.
this article will have a tendency to
arouse the reader to sense OF the dan
ger which threatens the liberties OF the
people. The government of our State
is now in the hands of the Malone
Jacoblns: but may we not hope that
the day Is not far distant, when the
people of Virginia will fully appreciate
the importance of asserting their liber-
ties and of striking from them the
shackels of a most CALLING slavery.
The petty tyrant, who has assumed
the position OF boss, not satisfied with
discharging The duties of the office
which be holds. undertakes to control
the legislation Of the State, and to
punish those who refuse to bow 10 his
mandates. He holds his place by the
aid of ofice-holders and office-seekers,
and is supported by an alliance with an
administration which has almost abso.
lutte control Of the negro vote, and
which has been repudlated by even the
men whose votes placed ii in power.
Aided by such influences, be may hold
his place for a while, but the day is not
far distant when Virginia will feel the
degradation to which she has been
subjected and will crush tho tyrant be-
meath her feet.
The carpet-baSgers had grasp upon
the Old Commonwealth fully as firm as
that of their imitators Of to day, but
in spite of the administration and the
negro allies, the people Of Virginia
aroused TO sense of the danger which
threatened them, hurled them from
place and power. Virsinians are no
less Vrrginians now than they were
then. They Will protect their liberties.
The fact that this party are led by her
own children, who wi;b.oily words have
concealed their real object under the
guise OF what they are pleased to call
reimbursement, will not save them from
the wrath Of their mother State, when
the people fully appreciate the fact that
an array Of over one hundred thousand
negroes led by few white men seeking
place and power constitutes the party
which proposes 10 direct the legislation
aud guard the interests Of the white
people Of the State. We cannot be-
lieve that our people can much longer
be deceived by this party, and continue
TO lend aid and comfort until, bound
hand and foot they are delivered as
hostages into the hands Of the Stall
wart wing Of the Radical party.
Look for yourselves. See the close

But there must be an end to all

Infamous fate OF those few ruling
spirits who have carried Africa
into the war; and are now running
Virginia and her people to ruin and .

The Iron Ores of Virginia.

AT recent session OF the Tariff
Commission in Philadelphia, Mr..
Joseph l. DORM read a paper upon
the iron ores Of Virginia, from
which We extract the following
1T is safe TO state that the mineral
resources of Virginia are OF such
a character that, II properly devel-
oped. they would make Virginia the
most prosperous State in the Union.
Her iron ore deposits alone with
the fac lilies now pcs sessed within
her borders, fer the manufacture OF
iron and steel, and tor the transpor
tat.on Of the raw aud manufactured
material, are not surpa ised in any
other State. The want OF capital,
the difficulties OF transportation,
and tie earlier development OF other
Localities, have hitherto prevented
any extensive iron mining and
manuiactuln operations IN the
State. This condition, however, IS
now rapidly changing. Transport
tation facilities are now sufficient.
Since 1870 the miles Of railroad in
Virginia have in-roased from 1872
to , 400 miles, an increase Of about
fifty per cent. THIS increase has
been manly III the iron AID coal
districts. Capital, too, is seeking
investments In these districts. Iron
and coal mines are being opened
and extensive furnaces and manu-
featuring csiablishm ents with i'm
proved appliances are being located
by PRACTICAL and prudent men. No
less than S5.OO0,OOO have been
brought within tie State since 1879
by mining and manufacturing enter
Prise alone. The iron deposits Of
Southwest Virginia are OF such an
extent and yanety, and kind and
quality, that they are ample to meet
Tie demand OF the iron and steel
manufacturing districts Of the coun-
try. The great abundance Of su-
periOr cokelng coal i'll the vicinity
OF these deposits must compel the
establishment near the mines of iron
furnaces and steel works. Where
iron can lie made tie cheapest,
there these industries will be eatab-
lishcd. OF course, it is not TO be
expected that the great steel works
Of Pennsyl vania will remove then
enormous and expensive plants to
Virginia, but there is every reason
why Their supply OF Bessemer ores
should now lie provided here

We publish in this issue a commune

IN regard 10 county offices. We do not
presume to speak for any party, but we
expires our own opinions as 10 what
we believe 10 be for the interest ofthe
people at large. We claim that the
debt issue is settled issue. and we
propose TO give the public evidence OF
the honesty Of our declarations, by sup
porting for county Offices the men best
suited to ill those Offices without regard
TO their sentiments upon the debt ques-

NJ OF the public and the public inter-
ests are best served by the selection of

any party has IN it all the beat men
and we therefore favor our old way OF
selecting Officers without regard TO their
opinions upon subjects that do no; IN
anyway effect their qualifications for
the positions which they desire to hold.
While we express these sentiments

fact that they are in harmony with those

Another good effect would BE- that it
would have tendency to prevent the
bitter political contests which occur too
often in the State. We have too many
