COL. SAMUEL 2. COLEMAN.

Among the new Directors at the W. L..
Asylum, Tuesday. none attracted more
attention than the gentleman whose name
heads this paragraph. He is the Democrat
of Cumberland county, who rather than
let the Fourth Congressional District 60
uncontested, entered the campaign there
slngle-handed with seven thousand Re-
publican majority in front of him, and
gallaptly fought it out, with inevitable
defeat staring him in the face. He is a
man of imposing personal appearance,
with a fine, frank face and popular address.
He is a cousin of John w. Daniel and
during the civil war was splendid SOL
der. Being now in our congressional dis
trics and his views agreeing with the III
terests of this section of the Valley, it is
to be hoped that our people may hear more
of him in the future. His remarks at the
Board meeting Tuesday, on subject
which has engrossed the attention of many
people in Virginia for some time past,
show that he is:a frank, candid man, who
acts on principle and is able to give clear
headed reasons therefor.

The Blue and Gray.

THE MEETING IN NEW YORK FOR THE
CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS HOME.
Bright bunting, gay banners and patri-
otto devices were profusely displayed in
the great hall of Cooper Union at New
York Wednesday night, giving the scene a
really picturesque appearance. The hall
was thronged with citizens, who assembled
to devise ways and means to raise money
for the establishment In Richmond, Va,
of home for disabled ex-Confederates-
The platform was decorated with ferns
and palms, and a large bouquet of flowers
stood upon the Speakers desk. Arched
over the back in letters of gold were the
words "Blue and Gray;'' just below a
small bust Of Washington, above which
was large golden horseshoe, emblematic
of good luck. as the band played "March-
ing Through Georgia" the speakers and
guests filed in and took seats upon the
platform. Among them were General
Lloyd Aspinwall, Captain Deaton, Col
onel George M. Dusenbury, Colonel w.
F. Bensley, of North Carolina; DR.. WA.
M. Polk, of Tennessee; Major David J.
Mallon, Major Charles Appleby. General
Robert D. Lilly, of Virginia; General J.
Roberts. j. T. Mackey. of South Carolina;
Major Cunningham, General J. G. CAL
houn, Colonel E. p Hill and many other
Well-knoWn men. In the absence of Gen
eral Grant, from whom telegram was re-
ceiyed saying that it was impossible for
him to return from the South in season to
preside, Corporal James Tanner was
chosen chairman of the evening. Brook
lyn's tax collector, who had both limbs
shot away during the war. was hailed with
a storm of applause. He limped to the
front of the platform as the band played
the RED, White and Blue.''
II have not seen a programme, said
Corporal Tanner, "but [ know that the
object of this meeting is to provide home
for disabled Confederate veterans, and I
am full of sympathy with you from the
crown of my head as far down as 1 CO."
Applause
At the conclusion of this address, let
tiers of regret that they could not attend
were read from Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage,
Gen. S. W. Crawford, Gen. Bristow. o.
E. Huntington Gen. Q. P. Wilcox, Senator
Hawley and Gen. Roger A. Pryor. Gen.
j. b. Gordon, of Georgia, was then intro
duced while the band played "DiXie, 4" and
spoke as follows: "As an ex- Confederate
who surrendered to your great Captain, [
greet you cordially and in all sincerity.
Nearly twenty years have passed since the
conclusion of our most unhappy war. We
mean to be comrades now" {Cheers.)
Addresses were also delivered by Gen.
George A. Sheridan, George Floyd King,
of Louisiana. and Judge Albion W. Tour
gee. The meeting broke up with cheers
for the new home for .Confederates.

An Era of Low Prices.
From the N. Y. Sun ]


The prevailing depression in the prices
of stocks is not an exceptional phenome-
non. 1t extends to the most important
agricultural and mineral productions of
the country, and. indeed, affects the in
dustries of the whole world.
Wheat, which at the beginning of 1880
brought in the New York market 81. IS a
bushel. and in 1882 sold at ST 43 bushel,
is now selling at about 81, and of course
-four has fallen in corresponding ratio.
Other cereals show a similar decline-rye
from 81 bushel to 65 cents bushel !:
Indian corn from rs and 70 cents bushel
to about IS cents, and oats from so cents
to 30 cents.
The fall in pork and lard and the causes
of it have already been discussed by us.
Mess pork, which was quoted at SIS SO a
barrel year ago, is now S16.50 and lard
has dropped from II cents pound to 81
cents.
Our other great staple, cotton, is an
exception, however, remaining at about
the same level. of between II and IL cents
a pound, at which it has stood for the past
four years. Petroleum, too, maintains
itself at about the same price that it has
been bringing all along.
Metals, on the other hand, are more de-
cidedly depressed than breadstuffs and
provisions. Pig iron has fallen from $35
per ton to about $40, and steel rails from
500 to about $34. Copper, which used to
bring about % cents a pound, is so slow
of sale at IA cents that the Calumet and
Heela. Copper Mining Company, which
produces 10000 tons year, and has for
seventeen years paid uninterrupted divl-
dends amounting to $20,000,000 upon an
actual capital of 81 200 600. has just been
obliged to interrupt its pleasing habit.
Lead, which not long ago sold at cents a
pound, can now be bought at cents, and
tons OF it are stored away, to wait for an
advance.
Coal for the present is kept up, but only
by restriction of production, and with
every prospect of decided fall in price
very soon.
Raw sugar, which for several years has
f1uctuated between cents and cents
pound, is now in abundant supply at
about 81. Refined sugar has correspond
ingly declined from between cents and 8
cents pound to about cents.
Without going into details about cloth
ing and other manufactured articles. it is
notorious that they are all cheaper than
they have been for long time past, with
no probability of immediate improvement.
IulS widespread depression Is, IOrCu-
nately, not due to any financial catastro-
phe. 1t is simply the return swing of a
pendulum which vihrates between excess
and deficiency. A supply scanty in pro-
portion to consumption makes prices high;
high prices, while they check consump-
ton, stimulate the production of an
increased supply; an increased supply
lowers prices; and low prices again, while
they increase consumption, diminish pro-
duction, and SO tend to correct them
selves. The present state of the markets,
therefore, cannot bs expected to last for
ever; 1t will be followed sooner or later by
an advance, and this in turn by another
decline. Ebb and flow, like night and day,
are as inevitable in the commercial as in
the physical world.

The Democratic Tariff Reformers are
to be congratulated on the effect of their
new programme on the local elections
in Ohio last week. The process of ''edu-
eating the people, up to their idea seems
to progress backwards. In the city of
Cleveland the Democratic majority of last
year of more than two Thousand has been
converted into an average Republican
majority of 800. In Youngstown the
Republicans elected their ticket for the
first time in several years. Toledo makes
large Republican gains, and Dayton shows
reduced Democratic majorities. The same
condition of affairs is reported from all
the large towns, even Cincinnati giviEg
substantial encouragement to Republicans
in the shape OF Republican gains.

The True InWardness of It.

[Page McCarty's Democratic Campaign.l
The Campaign, at the cost of offending
many friends, urged the legislature when
it first met to put men in office who rep
resented the vigorous and dominant eIe-
ment of the Democratic party. and above
all, that they should have been active and
approved workers in the canvass. This
was che popular feeling throughout the
State, and when it was sighted to give
way to the old system of intriguing, bar
gaining aud lOgrolling, the result was that
men were put in Office who have failed to
comprehend the spirit of the people. The
failure in the case of the asylum boards
will turn out melancholy farce If the
present outlook is prophetic and though
the lame excuses of Treasurer Barksdale
may acquit him of any charge of carrup-
ton, he will remain convicted of ''plen-
tiful lack of w.t. and the unanimous SEN
timent of the party will make 1t warm for
Barksdale far beyond the cooling capacity
Of that salary. We advise that gentleman
to resign and retire to the shades of AL
bemarle, where his transcendent ability
might be so far recognized by the friends
who first put him forward that he might
have a chance to run for sheriff some day.

800 tons of pig metal per week. Longdale
