LETTER FROM KING WILLIAM COURT
HOUSE, VA.
KING WILLIAM Court HOUSE,

"
KING WILLIAM COUNTY, VA, Aug. Is, 1885.
Editors Union Having been in this neigh
borhood for some time and a subscriber of your
excellent paper, will write you short letter.
King William Court House is the seat of govern
ment of King William county and is quite pic
turesque little town. The farms are all laid off in
the old English style, very large, two or three
hundred acres being considered small farm. The
dwellings erected quite a distance from the
main road, surrounded by stately trees of locusts
mulberry and aspen.
There being no building stones in this county
the foundations of the houses made of brick
and extend several feet above the earth. The
chimneys of the same material appear at each end
of the building like two sentinels. The structure
is then completed with weather boarding, sur
mounted by dormer windows.
You see very little fencing here, embankments
Of earth, made during slavery, and overgrown
with shrubbery and trees, form the substitute,
which presents anovel appearance to a new conner
Pine forests are numerous and source of
wealth to many. Very little fertilizers are need
ed, the land being in good condition. Hills are
few and stones invisible. Fruit is plentiful but
inferior. Crops are good. Corn grown on the
farm of Mr.. D. Shamberger ranks among the best
in the county.
Many of the traces of the English remain in the
hospitable genial, kindly disposed people of Vir-
gnia. You are kindly welcomed wherever your
footsteps may lead. Society is good, and among
our acquaintance we number Judge Foster.
The greatest disadvantage here is the inferior
public school system.
Quite number of people are summering here.
Among those from Maryland are Miss Lulu Full
ton, of Mt. Washington, and Misses NJ. Z. Smith
and Ida McAbee, of Baltimore. NJ. j.

Pen Picture Of Political Boss.

The Baltimore Sunday News of 10th instant has
an editorial on bosses in politics, from which we
extract the following, which would seem to be
particularly applicable in Baltimore county just
now. Read it and judge for yourself:
CROSSES are political mercenaries Is = II every
where. Their characters and calibre soon
plain to the observant citizen. There is no sem
timent about political boss. His very business
requires an immortality, dishonesty that de-
cent man must revolt at He is attached to no
creed or persen longer than it pays him to be so.
He is faithful to no pledge or tie or promise. He
is the advocate or representative of no principle
longer than that principle or designation is pop
ular with the people and potent weapon to hood
wink and deceive them with. His daily business
and occupation is deceit and trickery He betrays
a friend to day and does not hesitate to betray
his party to .morrow-if he can make the treach-
cry profitable. He fools one dupe to-day and de-
ceives another tomorrow, soothing his victims
with falsehoods and covering his tracks with
plausible professions. There is not political
boss who knows or understands the first princi-
Piles of his party, or is attached to would be
under any circumstances influenced by them if he
did. He is no more governed Dy party platforms
than by the ten commandments"

@4- The Maryland Journal is very much OPP
posed to the civil service law, and nobody is sur
prised at that. In last weeks issue it has ed-
torial on Unconstitutional Civil Service Law, )"
from which we print one extract, to wit:
zone of the prime features of our system is that
rotation in office is indispensable to the national
health and under this sound doctrine 1T has al
ways been the duty as we'll as the practice of each
successive Administration-State as well as
Nationwide ring out the DID, ring in the new !
to nfuse fresh and friendly blood into the arteries
of all executive bodies. This rule is based on the
undoubted fact that long continuance in office is
to breed nefficiency, carelessness, insolence
and perhaps rascality. And the practice of rota-
ton is likewise indispensable to that other nota-
BILE feature of our institutions which Indignantly
condemns the formation of any permanent official
class, and which denies that public office is the
property of privileged persons or of would-be
aristocratic families"
Upon reading the above we'll known Demo-
crat was heard to say: "Well, it is quite evident
editorial" No; we are willing to bet big apple
that the Boss did not write the editorial and that
the proof was not submitted to him before it ap-
peared in the Journal. He (the Boss) has been
in Office in Baltimore county for about twenty
years and yet he is not satisfied, but cries for
more. We fully agree with the Journal chat long
continuance in office is sure to breed > inso-
lence and perhaps rascality." We have an illus
tration of it right here in midst but we didn't
think the Journal had manhood enough about it
to say go. The Democrats should now give some
ofther own people little ofthe medicine they have
so unsparingIy administered to the Republicans
lately. 1t was given in big doses and was
labelled "turn the rascals out"

@- Agricultural labor in the Southern States
has deprecated less in the past twenty years than
in any other part of the country east of The Rocky
Mountains. This is equivalent to saying that
the purchasing power of Southern labor has in
creased moro than that of other sections, having
declined relatively less than property. The
average rate of pay per month in 1865, without
board, was SIG, and in 1885, $l4.27, a difference
of IS per cent. 1t the Eastern States there was
decline in that period of "a per cent, in the Mid
die States about 20 per cent and in the Western
States "a per cent.

One Every Six Minutes.
Ne,c York Sun.


Col. Stevenson, the First Assistant Postmaster
General, and at present acting Postmaster Gen.
eral, seems to have settled down to his work with
determination and vigor. He has been very busy
since no suooaadAd Mr.. Hay, and promises to be
still buster. A sound Mugwump authority, the
Boston Advertiser, reports him saying that "the
month of August would show change of $500
poatmasters and that this ratio would be increas-
ed when the weather became COOL" If the Post
office Department can turn out $500 Postmasters
in August, its monthly production from October
to June ought to e2,700, which seems to be about
the limit with the present plant. For we learn
from the Mugwump already quoted that "it keeps
all hands busy ten hours day to turn out and in
100 postmasters." Ten postmasters an hour
doesn't seem very high rate, but it is 100 day,
900 a week, and 81 200 a year. There will be
mighty few Republican Postmasters left to turn
out in 1887 if Mr.. Stevenson's machine is kept in
good order. All anxious candidates for post
masterships should pluck up heart and remember
that Republican is turned out every six minutes
of every working day.

Marriages and Ages.

Recently, said Olive Logan, sat next the
baroness and Mr.. Burdett- Coutts at place of
entertainment. Her ladyship was superbly ap-
pareled, and, on appearing among the audience,
was presented by young girl, dressed in black,
with large white bouquet, oil lilies and tube
roses, trimmed with white lace. Mr.. Burdett-
Coutts seems to be endowed by nature with the
most enviable of all gifts, mirthful disposition.
He has a laughing mouth and splendid set of
white teeth. He is jolly, handsome man, and I
don't wonder his wife likes him. There has been
q great deal of comment made about this match,
but for my part see no more reason why lady
of IS may not marry q man of 80, if both are
willing, than that a man of so, like Sir Jules
Benedict, should marry girl in her twenties, as
1 believe Lady Benedict still is.

m-From the best information we can
gather we believe the Democratic primary con-
test in the sth district is practically settled
now-that is the defeat of Mr.. L. M. Bacon is
a forgone conclusion. The friends Of County
Commissioner Wight with much positiveness as
sert that he will carry the district, although the
other side still claim victory, but we think it is
forlorn hope The objection to Mr.. Bacon is
not upon personal grounds-in fact he has many
vell-wishers who would like to give him their
support-but they decline to do so because they
believe he is too closely allied to Boss Isaac and
for this reason they oppose him. This charge
hangs about his neck like a milestone and will
accomplish his defeat Mr.. Wight, by his manly
and independent course both in and out of office,
has made hosts of friends who will be glad of the
opportunity to testify their confidence in him by
making manly effort for him in the primary.

Ns-The Democratic Executive Committee,
when il met in Towsontown on Tuesday, sat down
upon Boss Isaac with an emphasis that must have
made him squirm. He wrote a letter to the Com
mittee asking that the Crawford system be adopt
ed for the coming primary, if not for all the can
didates, at least for those who were running for
Clerk, because, as he put it, he had no desire to
be nominated except he was the choice of the
Democratic party. what stupendOus gallD But
the Committee took no notice of the letter, and it
fell fat Now, the fact is the Boss did not want
the Crawford system, because he well knows that
with it he would be SO effectually wiped up that
not grease spot would be left of him. He want
ed to advertise himself-to get his name before
the public as apparently wanting something that
is popularity believed to be fair-and hence he
adopted this scheme, which is SO transparent that
everybody saw through it.

Ms- Some years before the sleeping cars were
introduced to make travel luxury, an elegant
English compartment coach was imported and
run for awhile on the steamboat train between
Boston and Stonington. For some reason IL did
not suit American tastes, and SO it was taken off
the line and stored away. Now, after the lapse
of many years the old coach has been brought to
the light of day again. to serve as an eating booth

Conkling as the Eulogist of Grant.
Utica Observer, Dem.

Utica Observer, Dem.
Conkling is private citizen. The fiery and
dashing crusader of the Republican party, the
arch-champion of the political Grant, has become
the calm, meditative man of business. Reverses
in politics have blunted the sharp edge of the
political prejudices and exerted softening infu-
ence upon the mans whole character. But his
oratorcal talents are as transcendent and his af-
lection for Grant is as deep as ever before. No
active politician should be chosen to eulogize
Grant. In virtue of every consideration that
presents itself in connection with this subject,
Conkling is the man for the place.

MG-From what we can CLEAN we believe the
Democratic nomination for the Sherifalty lies
between Nathaniel Watts, of the Sd district, and
J. Scott Price, of the 9TH, with the odds in favor
of the first named. Mr.. Watts will have no oppo-
sition in his district and will bring a solid dele
cation to Towsontown. Mr.. Price has fight on
his hands, but those best informed say he will get
his district. Then it remains to be seen who can
develop the most strength in the convention. So
far as we know both are very good men and either
would make an acceptable candidate to the Dem
