Before the high tariff went into
operation every town in the country
had its W manufactures. Now
hardly any of them have, as the tariff
had the necessary effect of destroy
ing the business of the small manu-
f%acturers and concentrating it in the
hands of a few rich monopolists.
This of itself, if there were no other
reasons, would be n sufficient one to
create a popular demand for tariff re-
form.-Alerondria Gazette.

The recent death of Maj. James W.
Green, of Culpepcr, Va, has called
forth extended tributes to his mcmory
through the press of his county. He
was the youngest son of Judge John
W. Green, who for many years
adorned the Supreme bench of Vir-
ginia by his learning, ability and up
rightncss as a jurist, and, as we noted
last week, was also a brother of Judge
T. c. Green. of this place, member of
the Supreme Court of Appeals of
West Virginia. Left in a great meas
III upon his own resources, by the
death of his father, in early life, Mai.
Green Dor developed characteristics
of strict personal integrity, great
persistency and energy of purpose, a
strong conviction of right, and un.
firing capacity for labor, which marked
his entire life, and which, directed by
n strong and vigorous intellect, made
his life successful and elevated him
to the very front rank of his profess
sion in his State. He taught school
for a short time, afterwards became
deputy sheriff, and was soon admitted
to and became prominent at the bar.
When the recent war broke out he
equipped a company at his own ex-
pcnse and entered it as a private, but
was afterward an officer of it. Sub
sequently was made Quartermaster of
Kemper's Brigade, in which capacity
he served with rare fidelity to the
close of the war;. He was not only a
learned lawyer, but a cultivated
scholar, and a kind, good man, full
of generous sympathy for all.

General Longstrce having declared
against negro leadership of the Re
publican party, petitions are numcr-
Gus for his removal from the U. S.
MarshaIship of Georgia. But Arthur
is President, and Longstrcet is an
Arthur delegate to the National Re-
publican Convention; and that, you
know, makes a great difference.
Otherwise he would be decapitatcd in

now by Il little so-callcd Grccnback
