Inventor Kelly has actually get day

ing an exhibition Of his wonderful motor.
The inform alton has been given out that
the work Of focalization and adjustment,
being done by the inventor alone, is pro-
crossing with the greatest satisfaction.
He appears to be as confident Of success
as if it were already achieved. The sci
entiic world, however. does not yield one
iOta from its opinion that the motor is
deIusion or a fraud. and that it will
amount to nothing. Rivals of the Keely

ma, and It is said the vibrators Of this one
have already been adjusted and localized.

The Staunton VI dictator and the Lex
ington Gazette are entering protest
against the Free Trade Democracy and ap-
pealing with the affection of dear broth
er to the leaders to call halt These
journals differ, however, in treating the
subject. The Vsedicator disowns the tariff
as an issue in the Presidential canvass,
and wants some kind of adtionalisna-
Southern nationalism, we believe-to be
recognized. Our neighbor has advanced
far enough to emphasize the word nation.
and we may soon expect him to spell it
with big n. When he has shown this
proficiency, we may seriously consider
whether he is not a fit subject for adop-
ton into the only National party that ex-
lists in this country. He must be educated
out of the fallacy, however, that national
ism is to be found in solid Democratic
South, for that is contradiction of his
proposition. But he will learn, and we
propose to be patient.
The Gazette takes another turn. That
journal proposes to light square on the tar
iff question, and to shy it's castor at all
free trade corners. That is even better
than is offered by our neighbor of the Vim
dicator. But there is hope for both, and
this we shall cherish until fruition blooms
forth.

such repressiye methods will have the
effect only to arouse resentment, to slim
ulate endeavor, and crystalize forces for
the impending warfare between Temper
ance and Intemperance.
We have the information that the whis-
key interest is banding together and organ
izing for the purpose of debating to Con-
gress the legislation that shall be enacted
i'll relation to the time of payment of the
tax on liquor in bond. 1t is estimated
that the amount of whiskey asked thus to
be relieved from the operation of the law
as it exists, would aggregate tax of over
S90.OOO.OO0. 1t is proposed to modify the
law so as to extend the bonded period two
years longer. and-in this way deprive the
government of the revenue that is Justly
due it. We are not sufficiently acquainted
with the minute facts and merits of the
question to discuss it here. We only re-
fer to it to note the fact that the whiskey
combination is making itself conspicuous in
national legislation and goes so far as to seek
to control the policy of the government in
relationto matter which the present law
disposes of contrary to it's interest. The
difficulty arises from over-production, and
if the tax has to be paid without the hold
ers of the whiskey being able to dispose of
it, the demand will be so heavy as to
cause great financial distress and in some
instances disaster. In no other case of
production, such as iron, steel, cot
tonfabrics, &c., do we find that the manu-
facturers besiege Congress for relief. They
meet the situation, shoulder the RESPONSE
bility OF their own miscalculation, and
bravely await the result, in many in
stances facing great pecuniary loss and
sometimes ruin. But the whiskey inter-
est asks for special legislation, and cotem-
poraneous with this comes the report that
the Committee created to make inquiry
INTO the liquor traffic and its influence and
evils is hostile to the object had in view in
It's creation, and in substantial sympathy
! with those who are now exerting them
| selves to outline the duties of Congress in
relation to the matter. Is this interest to
obtrude itself into the National Legisla-
ture to give direction to legislation If
so, it presents serious question for the
public at large to consider, and to inquire
as to what ispublic duty in the premises.
Already we see that the same influence is
now operating in Kentucky to control the
election of a United States Senator. 1t is
quietly exerting it's power at Columbus,
Ohio, to determineithel Senatorial contest
in that State. If these movements are left
to work out their own results, and the
people do not become aroused to the danger
of such methods. the confidence thus as
sured may invite to even wider theatre
of action, and endeavor to control the
election of the Chief Magistrate of the
Nation.
This whole matter presents food for
thought and invites the careful attention
and investigation of the people of the
country.

Communications.

Editors Valley Yirginion,
Gentlemen I'm the last issue or your paper
you expressed desire to publish the views o.
any person who designed supporting the ticket
lican Convention, which will meet at Chicago
on the Sd dav of June next, as to the policy
which should be pursued. with O view to unit
ing, upon said ticket, all Virginians who oppose
the destructive methods of the Bourbon Democ-
racy. .
In the same editorial you suggested plan for
accomplishing that result-a result that all pa
triotic Republicans will, doubtless. favor. am
however, satisfied a Coalition State Convention
which you favor cannot effect the obJect IN
view, as the tendency would be to widen the
breach now existing between Anti-Bourbons.s-
After considering the question fully, the wri-
ter suggests as substitute for your plan, that q
Republican State Convention be Jointly called,
at an early date, by Messrs. Riyes and Dezen-
dorr, Chairmen of the Virginia Republican Cen
justers included) who are willing to embrace
our political faith, and intend supporting our
National Ticket, should be cordially Invited to
participate in the election of delegates to said
Convention. Duty to the National Republican
party and to ourselves demand 1t State Conyen-
ton and thorough organization of our party.
Should the Readjusters decline the invitation
to unite with us as Republicans, but at the same
time endorse the action of our National Con-
ventiOn, and favor ajoint Electoral Ticket, it
seems to the writer thatit would be wise for the
Republicans to favor such an arrangement, each
party to be represented upon said ticket on the
basis of its voting strength.
Such O ticket would sweep the Held and num-
Der the days of the Bourbon Democracy in this
grand old stated that has suffered SO much and
SO patiently at the hands of merciless dema-
gOgues.
Respectfully submitted by earnest Repub-
lican, J. AUGUSTUS NICHE.

AS the year opens and dividends are dis

AS the year opens and dividends are dis
bursed, the business interests of the coun-
try seem to be receiving reviving impulse.
This is natural, for where theSe is all
abundance of surplus money, as is the cast
at this time in all the Eastern cities, where
coupons are redeemed and securities meet
their interest, business must feel the III
fluence. The difficulty with capitalists at
this time is to find such investments Al
they deem secure and remunerative, and
when these can be reached they are en-
couraged and stimulated by the accumu
lated profits gathered up at the end of the
year and ready for new investments. Even
so soon in January. the report from ths
iron interest at Pittsburg, the centre OF
the iron operations in the East, and the re-
ports from the various iron mills show a
better condition of things than had beef
contemplated last month. Nearly all the
iron and steel mills are now running,
with fair prospects of an increase in bust
ness during the current month. Thert
seems to be a growing demand for iron,
and the manufacturers are daily growing
more hopeful. Business is increasing and
the outlook is more encouraging, according
to the opinion Of experts in the trade.
Indeed, all business seems to be in a
healthy condition. There is no panicky
feeling anywhere. Created values consti-
tute the basis of business generally, and
the foundation being secure, the operations
will be healthy.

A Coming Spanish Republic.

Dispatches from Madrid of the 4th. re-
port that the developments of to-day indi-
cate the nearer approach of a serious crisis
in Spain. and the open manifestation of the
republican purpose to Overturn the throne
and establish a popular form of govern
ment in place of it. The army is known
10 be so seriously disaffected that the Paris
correspondent of the Times says that it is
very doubtful if King Alfonso, in the
event of a dissolution of the Cortes, could
depend upon it to support the monarchy.
: Senior Ruiz Gorilla is at work on the one
hand in behalf of the republican agitation !;
while the Carlists. OH the other hand, i'm
agine that they see in the present con-
fusion chance for the restoration of the
old Bourbon line in the person of Don Car
los. and are actively working to that end.
This correspondent takes gloomy view of
the situation. and he states in the Times
that the alternative will soon be presented
OF a choice between anarchy and abSolu-
tism. with the probability that independ-
ence and freedom will succumb. This is,
however, not the light in which Spanish
Republicans, through their agents in Lon
don and Paris, look upon the conflict.
They would have been content for the
present with the incorporation of manhood
suffrage in the reforms of the constitu-
tion promised in the speech from the
throne on the opening Of the Cortes, and
In that event they would not have imme-
diately urged revolution {; but they have
always been prepared for the other alterna-
tive, namely, that the Sagasta party, which
constitutes majority of the Cortes, would
refuse such concession. That refusal is
embodied in the announcement to-day that
the two members of the Sagasta party ap-
pointed to compile an address in reply to
the speech from the throne, have sub
mitted counter draft, deprecating a
change of the constitution at the present
| time, but admitting the principle OF cleo
toral reform. If the Cortes adopts this
proposition the Republicans will consider
| that they are released from any Obliga. ion,
| to refrain from attacking the monarchy.
They are not at all embarrassed by the
| declaration of Senior Moret in the Chamber
of Deputies to-day that he, as minister of
| the interior, gives the assurance that there
is no reason to apprehend any renewal of
| the disturbances in the provinces. He said
| the object of the precautions taken upon
the French frontier was the prevention of
smuggling, although smuggling is an old
affair. and troops were never before sent
to the Pyrenees district to prevent it. The
debate upon the answer to the royal speech
begins in the Cortes tomorrow, and the
operations of the Republicans will be con-
trolled by the result Ruiz Gorilla is still
in Paris, from whence he directs the revo-
lutionary propaganda in the ranks of the
Spanish army.
Important precautionary movements of
troops have been made on the northern
frontier to prevent an incursion of Repub-
llcans from France. The Madrid govern
ment has thanked the French government
for what the latter has done to watch the
| frontier,

Whiskey in Congress.

In the proposition to create the Com
mittee ON alcoholic liquors in Congress,
there was disclosed opposition from a
number of Congressman. Among it's adj
vocates was Mr.. r. B. Vance, of N. c.,
the substance of whose remarks is given
on our outer page, at the request of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union, of
Staunton. The object in raising the COM
mittee was to have collected such statistics
of the liquor traffic as would give to the
| public authorized statements of it's extent,
! influence and effect on society, and the re-
suit of the numerous methods for it's reg
ulation and prohibition. This being the
announced purpose of the friends of the
Committee, it was expected that the
Speaker would so respect their wishes as
toform the committee so as to bring out
the facts desired. 1t is stated, however.
that the composition of the committee
gives majority in opposition to the
int ention of the mover of the reso-
luton to create it, thus virtually de-
feating the object had in view. We can
not speak knowingly of this, however, as
we are not acquainted with the persons
forming the committee, nor with their
views on the subject. If it be fact that
a majority are opposed to eliciting the in
formation sought by the friends of tenn
perance. we would rather attribute it to
accident than design. The Speaker would
hardly take it upon himself to suppress
statements and facts in relation to traffic
that concerns SO deeply and vitality so many
families and interests in this Nation. 1t
would be a suppression that would be JUS
titled by no rational argument or moral
consideration, and would seriously reflect
upon the motives in the action.
We hold to no extreme views on the
subject of temperance or the liquor traffic.
We, however, do regard liquor drinking as
great evil, and the laws which encourage
the traffic in liquor as demoralizing. All
recognize the great harm to community
resulting from the selling and drinking of
ardent spirits. 1t is a proper subject
therefore, for investigation and report,
that data may be gathered upon which
to base appeal and argument against the
admitted injury it inflicts. To have sub
stantially refused this. in the formation of
the committee, cannot be defended with
fair-minded men. Nor will such course
defeat the efforts and purpose of those who
have asked for this reasonable favor. All

am glad to see that efforts are being made
tow ard organizing the elements OF opposition to
Democracy in Virginia.
AS political force it exists, and within the
range of my observation, it is growing force.
To become efective.in the approaching contest,
a perfect organization Is of vital Importance
With a union of all who are opposed to Demo-
cratic methods and to Democratic laundering,
there Is not a doubt but that the Electoral vote
of Virginia can be given to the nominees of the
Chicago Convention. To bring about such q
union will require the best efforts of all, and q
Willingness to set aside personal ambition when
everit may conflict with the end in view.
In my humble judgment, one thing is of the
first Importance. We have got to move unG er
Virginia have never rallied under any other
than their own banner in national contest,
nor will they now. This being granted, it would
seem that there need be no great, at least no
insurmountable difficulty in placing the whole
matter in the hands of the people where it of
right belongs. There is an honest difference of
OPT Mon as to where the legitimate authority
rests, to make q CALL 1t cannot for moment
committee has any authority. Capt. Rives and
Maj Dezendorf may very properly unite in a
call and make it broad enough to include all
who desire to act with the National Republican
party-or If so disposed-say all who are oppos-
ed to the Democratic party, to unite in sending
delegates to State Convention, upon a basis of
representation to be named, as well as the place
and time.
Under such call oil can have a voice and all
can be represented.
The representatives of the people coming to-
gether in the spirit which we hope to see man
1fested, that OF harmony and Cancellation: for
without that there is little hope of successful
work, will take matters into their own hands
and not only organize the convention but or
ganiZe for a victory in Now 1881. We ought to
begin early the great work. j. w. PORTER.
