Highland Re- eeme,i.

We are gratifed to find that Highland
county is redeemed, and, as we. had hoped
and predicted, has again assumed her for
mer position in the ranks of the Democrat
ic party. Some of the good Democrats of
Highland have done the SPECTATOR the hon.
or to attribute that result to its circulation
in that county. We are gratifed to feel
that part of the credit is due to that
cause, but justice to the Highland Record
er compels us to disclaim portion of it, for
we think portion is due to that journal,
and it will be remembered that we pre-
dicted when that paper was converted into a
Republican journal, that Highland would
become Democratic. Whilst the SPECTATOR
led, the Recorder drove, and in this way
the stray Democrats were again gotten into
the fold, and we are too modest to believe
that the attractiveness of the SPECTATOR
was greater than the responsiveness of
the Recorder; hence we think that the
Recorder is entitled to as much, if not
more credit than the SPECTATOR for the glo-
rious result Of redeeming gallant little
Highland. We hope that the Recorder
will continue to exert its benefcent infu-
ence, and that it will aid to secure larger
majority next year. We think that the
combined influences of the Recorder and
SPECTATOR can secure that result.

HON. J. RANDOLPH TUCKER.

Under the administration of President
Cleveland, who will be the President Of
the whole people, the South will be recog-
nized equally with the North, ana it will
no longer be treated as an alien section,
but as an integral portion of the Union.
Though the South will not press her claims
to proportionate share of the offices, yet
we have no doubt that President Cleveland,
in spirit of true nationality, will look to
the South to furnish some of the principal
officers Of the Government, as she has men
amply qualified for such positions. Vir-
ginia is blessed with able and good men
who are qualified to fill any position in the
Government. We think that she has one
citizen who is specially qualified by his
talents and legal training, and experience
in similar Office. to fill with honor to him.
self and credit to the administration the
Office of Attorney General of the United
States-ws allude to Hon. J. Randolph
Tucker, who is justly and generally recog-
nized as one of the ablest constitutional
lawyers of this country. If President
Cleveland, when he comes to make up his.
cabinet, should select this distinguished
citizen to be Attorney-G General, we are sure
that it would be approved by the people of
the country generally as wise and suita-
BILE appointment.

Keep up the Democratic Organization

We would urge with emphasis the i'm
portance of preserving the Democratic or
ganizatioD, and would advise that the va.
rious clubs throughout the State, hold
meetings monthly till the opening Of the
canvass next Fall, when they should be
held weekly. The election at that time
will be more important to Virginians than
the Presidential election, for it concerns
their interests more directly and materially.
At that election, the Governor and mem
bers of the House of Delegates and Of the
Senate will be chosen, and the Legislature
then elected will elect the United States
Senator to succeed Malone. AS Malone
will thus have direct personal interest in
the result of the election next Fall, he will
have greater incentive than in the late
election to do all that he can to defeat the
Democratic party, and that he will use
every effort to do SO, there can be no doubt,
and it becomes the Democrats to be on the
alert, and to preserve their organization
and to work from now till then, as they
may be assured Malone and his party
will be certain to do. Let every Democrat
work earnestly aud ceaselessly to save Vir.
ginia from fate worse than death.

DEATH OF MISS ALLIE BELL.-It has
been truthfully said that "death loves a
shining mark" and this maxim has been
touchingly verified in the death of Miss
Allie Bell, which occurred last Tuesday
night, of congestion of the brain, at the
home of her father, Mr. Johnston E. Bell,
of this place, after an illness of about ten
days.
The death of this estimable lady has
east deep shadow of true and genuine
sorrow over this entire community, as her
kind, gentle and amiable disposition, and
her pure, bright Christian life and charac-
ter had tenderly endeared her to the hearts
of all classes of our community. The de-
ceased needs no eulogy. Her useful but
unobtrusive life is written in letters OF gold
upon the hearts of all who knew her. She
will be greatly missed-by the church, OF
which she was faithful and earnest MEM
Der; by the Sunday School, Of which she
was constant and faithful teacher; by the
society in which she moved, of which she
was an ornament; and by every charitable
aud laudable enterprise, in which she never
failed to take an active and an efficient
part when her services were proper and
needed. Gyeenbrier ". Va.) Independent.

Vote Of New York.

The county canvassing boards of New
York met yesterday to foot up the district
returns, and send tn EN- to the State Board
of canvaseers which will meet at Albany
on next Wednesday, the 10Th.
What the State board has to do is of a
similar character, namely, to consolidate
the returns sent by the county boards, as
certain by a simple arithm etical process
the total vote given to each Presidential
elector, and through their secretary to
make out and send to such persons as have
received puralities certificates of election.
Up to the time of going to press last
night, welearned, by telegraph, the reports
from SO counties.
The official count makes but few changes,
and the returns from the 33 counties report
ed, gives Cleveland plurality of 1 1884, and
the last telegram received stated that, sstbe
balance of the State is not likely to make
much, if any, change; SO it is pretty safe

REPORT OF Coal FIELDS IN THE GREAT
Sioux INDIAN REsERvATIoN.-Durin the
past year the Secretary of the Interior has
received large number of communications
from persons DESTROYS of securing permiSs
sion to prospect for coal upon the great
Sioux Indian Reservation in the Territory
Of Idaho, and representations were made
to the Department that coal fields of great
extent were to be found in the reservation.
The Secretary accordingly instructed the
Director of the Geological Survey to inves-
| tigate the matter, and preliminary report
of the survey was received to-day at the
Department of the Interior. The report
is as follows:
| Mr.. Bailey Willis was placed in charge
of the work and instructed to proceed to
the field on July II. A careful examina-
ton was made of the region between the
Grand and Moreau rivers, and from the
Missouri 1870 miles west to the Territorial
road from Bismarke to the Black Hills
an area of $500 square miles. Sixty miles
west of the Missouri Ignite beds six inches
to two feet in thickness occur in the hori-
zontally bedded sandstone, but they are
of local extent, and in no case have beds of
sufficient area been found to- justify mining
even for domestic uses IN the immediate
neighborhood. In every case the coal
found is of an inferior Ignite similar to
that mined at Sims Station on the North
ern Pacific Railroad. From the result OBJ
tanned by Mr.. Willis it is apparent that if
coal beds Of economic value exists within
the limit Of the great Sioux Reservation
they are confined to the northwest corner
on the tributaries of Cannonban River,
where Ignite beds of some thickness are
reported to crop OFT. A complete and
scientific report, with an accompanying
map, will be prepared by Mr.. Willis at an
early day and issued as a bulletin of the
survey
