RESPONDENT have been charged by 1e"
democratic papers in the State with attempt
ing to forestall public opinion and anticipate
the election of Hon. John S. Barbour to the
Senate of the United States to the prejudice
of the claims of other gentlemen, VINO may
have aspirations in that direction. Nothing
bas been further from the thoughts of the
editor or correspondent, who, prior to very
late date, we're unaware that there would Do
any contest, it seeming to have been a con-
coded point, as far back as 1855, that Mr..
Rerhonr should be the successor OF Gen.
eral Malone, the incumbent OF the seat
in the Senate. Gratitude dictated as
!; much. at time when the CLOUDS huhs
lowest and when all was darkness ana
aloom when her domestic foes had posses
sion of the entire machinery Of the state
government and were using the power in
their hands to the detriment OF her every
interest. moral and material; when it re-
quired ability to organize, and patience anu
courage to manage and direct; when the
democratic party was disorganized and de-
noralized, Mr.. Barbour was called to take
command Reluctantly he assumed the
task imposed, but with a determination to
win if victory was to be achieved. The re-
suit of that campaign proved that the trust
had not been misplaced, for by remarkable
ability, thorough organization and most
strenuous efforts triumph was achieved,
the like of which was only exceeded by the
last Waterloo to Malone and his followers.
"Ingratitude is the basest of crimes" we are
taught, and now, in the zenith of his renown
to undertake to ignore his claims, and give
preference to another would be to have
reached the lowest depths OF ingratitude.
No, the GAZETTE has been AID is only voicing
the sentiment of the people in their demand
that the victor should he rewarded by plac.
ing upon his shoulders the senatorial toga.
Mr.. Barbour is by every consideration en-
titled to the distinction. Others may have
and did contribute to the triumph, but to
Mr.. Barbours most excellent management
and never failing energy and determination
are the democrats most indebted for their
liberation from the thraldom of party that
would have made their old mother a by
word and reprcach to the nations. We
have no idea that there will be any serious
opposition to Mr.. Barbour's election to the
Senate, but it is hoped for the sake of har.
mony and as simple act of justice to
most worthy man, that there will be no an.
tagonism to his unanimous preferment,s so that
the world may see that, however ungrateful
republics may be, Virginians know how to
pay graceful and grateful tribute to
faithful and dutiful son.

AS SENATOR SHERMAN says "the two
Virginias should be one'-though he was
instrumental in causing the division Of the
original State-he must, Of course, think
that division was wrong, and, necessarily,
that Virginia is equitably entitled to COM
pensation for the territory of which she was
despoiled. This nation has paid foreign
governments for territory taken from them.
1t should certainly be as just towards one of
its own especially that one
which had, previous to her spoiation, pro.
scented it with the territory out of which all
the Northwestern States were made. If
Mr.. Sherman be consistent he will adopt
Mr.. Blaine's idea. and introduce bill in
Congress to pay Virginia for West Virginia.
With such payment Virginia would repu-
date reputation, and regain her lost credit
in the money markets of the world.

Teipherage is new and cheap method OF
transportation which was successfully tried in
England last month, and is defined as the trans
mission of goods and passengers by means of
electricity without engineer, brakeman or train
attendants.

house, draws skepS or buckets, hanging by ira
yelling wheels from the steel line. Each of these
buckets weighs 1O1 pounds and carries $50 TO
800 pounds OF clay, but because of their even
distribution and somewhat wide separation the
strain on the steel line is small although the
total weight Of the train and clay is about two

into operation by means OF motor connected
with the line.
As Mature. the scientific authority from
which we obtain these facts, remarks. ssthe

the little box on the table In front OF the en-

purposes telpherage seems likely to prove OF
great value. A teipher line, rapidly and
cheapiy constructed, can be run ut small cost
where an ordinary railway would seriously
disturb the operations Of agriculture.
