The Superintendent Of the Western
ASYLUM.

DIR. Hamilton, the present superin-
tendent, has for many years been the
chief dependence of that Asylum and
promoted to the superintendency over
a gentleman of much less experience.
He was put in that asylum by a Funder
administration and kept there by the
Readjuster one. He is said to be the
most capable man who has ever been in
it. and hence he was Bristol
NetOS. t--
We find, in the Wing of the Sth inst,
the above item from the Bristol NeaOs
What led the NeaOs to make this state
ment at this time we know not. If its
object was to avert from its party any
responsibility which might be supposed
to arise from the recent poisoning ca
lamity, it has signally failed in its ob-
ject, inasmuch as it makes an egregious
blunder from beginning to end in coun
founding DIR. VIM. Hamilton with DR.
r. S. Hamilton. The last named il
"the present superintendent" of the
Asylum, and had never had any pro
fessional connection with the Asylum
or with the care of the insane until his
appointment last spring by the Read
ulster Board.
DR.. VIM. Hamilton, whom the Nea0i
obviously indicates in its article and
supposes to be "the present superinten-
dent" deserves all the tribute which
the Nel0s bestows on him, and far more
1t is very true that for thirty-four years
1,o .ro, :, IEob;aF doyandonooV of fhe
Asylum. IL is also fact that he was
one of "the most capable men "wht
had ever been in it," and as faithful as
capable man implicitly relied on by
DIR. Stribling in his day, and by DIR
Stribling's successors since but it ii
not true that thence he was retained
"Oh, no! neither the fact that he was
a "chief dependence Of the Asylum,
nor the further fact he was one of "tht
most capable men who has ever been IL
it," sufficed to cause his retention. Thu
supposed interests of Mahone's party
were in one scale, the real interests o
the Asylum and its unfortunate in
mates were in the other; the foImel
outweighed, and DR.. VIM. Hamilton
the skiLfnl, faithful, tried, and trusted
servant of the State, and loved frient
Of his patients, was removed-"elimi
mated" SO to speak-along with all tb'
other able and experienced physicians
to give place TO new men who are mem
bers of the Readjuster party. We thanh
the NetOs for having-however unin-
acknowledgements manifest the sins o
its party. We doubt not that the peo
pie will ere long inflict the penalty fol
such grievous misdoings.

EMIGRATION FROM Notwithstanding the
last few weeks, there has been considerable
emigration from Highland county, a portion
going to Fauquier county in this State, but q
large majority to the Western States, Illinois,
Missouri, and Kansas. We fear that some Of
these emigrants who have left the good little
county Of Highland will find that they have
"gonesfarther to fare worse" We aresurprisea
a. this emigration from HighMnd,i and think
that there should rather be immigration INTO
that county. In this recent emigration, In,
GLIDING men, wpmlen, and children, there were
g g0ipg to the West, and u to Fauquier copR
". Those going West were from that part Of
Highland lying East Of the Yillage of Mep0well,

John Randolph Tucker.

Hon. Henry Watterson, editor of the
Louisville Courier journal and an ex-
member of Congress, in a speech re-
Gently delivered in Nashville, Tenn,
on the subject of the Tariff, pays the
following high tribute to Mr.. Tucker.
He says:
I'm a noble speech delivered by the
Hon. John Randolph Tucker in the
National House of Representatives on
the 9TH of May last-a speech which, as
plea for the people against oligarchs,
has never been exceeded in force and
eloquence, nor as an argument sur
passed in logical completeness and &C.
curacy save only by Mr.. Webster's ia
nous free trade speech in 1924, If by
that-I find and beg your permission to
read the following clear statement OF
the theory of a tariff for revenue
only"
Here Mr.. Watterson quotes several
paragraphs from Mr.. fuckers speech.
Further ON in his speech Mr.. Waiter
son speaks of Mr.. Tucker as standing
10 the front rank of Constitutional law
yers."
| AS the Buchanan Democrat says, this
well deserved tribute to Mr.. Tucker,
coming as it does from one of the fore
most political leaders and most brilliant
writers in the country from man
who is capable Of appreciating high
talents and abilities, may well cause the
people of the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict to feel proud of their Representa-
tive. Honest, upright, able, and elo-
quent, he has faithfully represented
them, and:courageously and with signal
ability fought in behalf of their inter-
ests, Mr.. Tucker has achieved for him
self national reputation, winning the
praise of friend and foe, and is to day
an acknowledged leader in the halls Of
Congress.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS learI
from the Moauatain Herald, Hinton, W
Va, that J. w. Mires, brakeman OF
the c. & o. Railway, hadshis arm brok
Ell and shoulder badly bruised one day
week before last, near Cannelton, by 5
tree that had fallen across the railroad
track. Every effort was made to save
the arm, but the injury was so severe
that DR.. Peck found amputation neces-
ssry to save the young mans life. DR.
Davis assisted DR.. PECK in the opera
ton. The recovery OF the young mar
is doubtful.
Near Guyandotte, on Thursday week
train No. 6, T. Bullock, engineer. ran
over man on the track and killed hin
instantly. Mr.. Bullock says he saw the
man on the track, and surprising him tt
be the track-walker, made no effort IL
stop the train, thinking every moment
he would move out OF dan ger, but ht
did not move, and the engine passed
over him. The train was stopped, and
the remains taken TO Barboursvilie.
On the Same day, while Mr.. BuIIock's
train was taking coal at the Kanawhs
works, he saw the rope on the incline
break, and car loaded with coal rup
over boy, killing him, mangIing the
body in dreadful manner.

VOWED, and cannot be effected, by the
decision. 1t was only the question OF
the bOndholder's remedy provided in
the Riddleberger Bill, that was before
the Court, and passed upon by that
body.
The question was n OF as TO the UdiiCli.
IL of the Virginia funding act of 1871, as
contract. No such question was rails
ed in the case. On the contrary, assum.
lug that the funding act was valid as a
cootract of the State with its CREDITOR,
the question, and only question, was,
whether the act of the Legislature of
January IA, 1882, commonly known as
Coupon killer No. l." impaired thai
contract.
