THE MATERIAL DAMAGE DONE
VIRGINIA BY THE RE.
BILRI LIZA AZ 1RTY

The opposition felt by the people of
Virginia to the Republican party, has
practical reasons of money value. We
have repeatedly protested against the
damage which that party, its leaders, and
its press do the Southern States, by utter
capital prevent immigration. and impede
the natural prosperity OF those States.
When Gen. Malone, stung by defeat in
1888, issued bis insane circular letter,
assigning as its reason bloody massacres
III Virginia, he did the material Interest
Of the State more harm than he could re-
pair If he lived century. His press takes
him as an example, and the burden of
ing at the ballot box, and the like. The
exceptions to this are few. The party
standing of the Republican sheet in Vir-
ginia is deemed debateable, at least, if it
does no. have certain amount of abuse
OF the 'B0urbons" Ia name by which they
designate the great mass of the white
people of Vlrginia) in each issue. Moth
ing seems TO be too reckless to be put in
print and sent North. The last specimen
of this we fad in the following para
graph which recently appeared in the
PROGRESSIVE Age, q Republican paper pub
lished at Estillville, in Scott county, in
this State.
1.-THE Pocahontas coal mines have been

thrown out of employment. The company
says this action is taken for the reason that
the unconstitutional acts of the Bourbons are
such as to convince them that a party which
would unseat the legally elected delegates and
senators to secure supreme control of the Leg
islature would not hesitate to legislate against
the rights OF northern capitalists and rob them
of their money. This is the way Bourbons have
of inviting capitalists to come and invest in
our State"
This statement was cut out by General
In boden and sent to VIM G. Bullitt, the
Manager OF the company in Philadelphia
the company is. by the by, wholly COM
posed of Philadelphians. Mr.. Bullitt re-
piled stating that the mines had not been
abandoned, but were being worked to the
full extent the rolling stock OF the railroad
could accommodate; that the output for
the previous month, June, was 3S, 24S tons;
that the output for the year SO far has been
nearly q quarter of million of tons, and
So far as [ am aware the mining compa-
MES are perfectly satisfied with the amount
produced and with the prices realized, and
there is 10 intention on the part of any of the
operators to suspend production.

Anecdotes of Architects,

From time TO time one hears u good
many droll stories about tho Baston
architects. who are for tho most part
men OF rather marked individuality.
aud u couple Of these stories will bear
repeating, Tho first relates that n
Boston architect furnished designs for
"A building Of which the inipOrtunce
may be estimated by the fact that II
cost something like u million dollars.
He did not draw his commission until
the work was finished. when tho
amount Of his bill frightened tho COM

Labor; no capital required whatever;
$1,000 is ample; it is generous!' In
the end, however. the ''nere brain
Labor" managed 50 get something like
thirty times tue sum which seemed to
the millionaire SO generously ample.
The second tale is to the effect that
when Mr.. Richardson, who built the
Capitol ut Albany, presented his de-
signs for that cdiiicc the committee
asked that he make certain modiiica-
tions Of his plans. But he answered:
No, gentlemen; | will make you y
