are at that period when more than ever the
quickening pulse of increased manufactu-
ring enterprises would push the city and
county to a realization of doubled wealth.
Such is the good fortune of local communi-
ties in the South, attained through such
means with far less advantages than we
possess. 1t follows, therefore. that the gen.
eral pros perity Of the South, in which man
ufacturing enterprises are playing so i'm
portant part in swelling its aggregated
wealth, must touch us lightly as the reports
go up monthly to the many points where
compilations are made. Notwithstanding
this drawback, our commerce and trade
are healthy, and if, by common consent, we
should say the times are more prosperous,
they would be SO. That is the view and the
opinion of our merchants and tradesmen
generally, who are now realizing more &C
tivity, as the inertia of summer gives place
to the coming fall and winter trade.
Many communities in the South, for the
purpose of local progress alone, are fully
alive to the Importance of maintaining their
advantages already secured, and to render
such localities superior in their attractions,
as well as enhancing their facilities of ia
tercourse, are giving much attention to
county roads. Madison county, Alabama,
about the size of Augusta, but with not
half its resources and values, with less pop
ulation, half of which is colored, is about to
appropriate two hundred thousand dollars
to McAdamize its road-ways. We do not
mention this fact as an argument to induce
Augusta to follow the example, but merely
to cite the fact that a community with far
less resources in farm values and farm pro-
auctions, finds itself equal to the occasion

very advantageous and produce a remuner-
alton exceeding many times the cost of

DEATH OF JUDGE ALEX RIvEs.-Ex-
Judge Alex. Rives died at Charlottesville
last Thursday at 10 o'clock, at the age of 10
years. He was born ip Nelson county, and
was brother of the late Hon. VIM. G.
Rives, who represented this government at
the Court of France and Virginia in the
United States Senate. Judge Rives was a
wing, and as such was a member of the Vir-
ginia Senate before the war; as well as
member of the Virginia Court of Appeals.
After the war he was the candidate of the
conservatives for the convention, known as
the Underwood Convention,) but was de-
feated by colored man. In 1870 he ran for
Congress in his district as a. republican
against the Hon. R, T. W. Duke, and was
defeated. He was afterwards appointed
United States district judge, but some years
ago he retired, and the Hon. John Paul was
appointed in his stead. He was one of the
most graceful and polished of men.

John s. Wise's Expressed Opinion Of Viz.
-ginia Republicans.

Before the Republicans of this State shall
vote for Wise, they should read what is his
opinion of them as deliberately expressed
in letter of his, dated March Oath, 1881,
as follows
sThe great bulk of the Republican party
here hitherto has been negroes. A large
portion of the white Republican vote in
Virginia hitherto has been made up of men
who were not Republicans from principle,
but as matter of trade and barter: men
without character and influence, apostates
for the price of their apostasy, men in the
community who would starve without
office, who became Republicans for office,
and whose tenure of efficc not only added
no strength to their party, but brought it
into disrepute and turned respectable men
away from it,
"Why, sir, the white Republican in Vir-
ginia does not want any accession to the
ranks of his party. Triumph is the last
thought of his mind. The place in his
whole object Martyrdom soothed by re-
ward is the whole philosophy of his politics.
The moment his party becomes large enough
to win victory his chances will be dimin-
ished, and he will lose all interest in the
matter. He does not wish the Republican
party to concillate, to recruit or augment its
following. His is close corporation, with
just enough offices to supply its members
Compared with that pleasant arrangement,
which is preserved by the past policy of
sectional bitterness, national prosperity
aye, the triumph of the national Rep. olican
party-is nothing whatever to him."
The Republican that can vote for Wise
after reading the above must certainly be
very fond of 'sbiled crow" Malone could
not have offered the white Republicans of
this State greater insult than to foist John
S. Wise upon the party as their candidate
for Governor. 1t is, at the same time, an
insult to the colored Republicans, as Wise
has said that he only received the colored
members of the Legislature in his kitchen.
1t will he remarkable spectacle to see tie 8

Original Republicans of the State with the
profoundest contempt. How they will
treat him remains to be seen.
How can Readjusters, who were Demo-
Gratis, vote for Wise, who says he is not run
ming as Readjuster but as Republican ?
They cannot do SO without proclaimipg
their own insincerity. The election of
Wise is hopeless,
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1885-09-23

srhe business situation continues to i'm
prove, ''says the Republican. "The reviv-
al does not come on with the rush of a tornado
but it grows steadily and inspires conf
dence that it has come to stay" Yet Mr..
Wise says that democratic administration
is responsible for depression in business
aud had times. Mr.. Wise ought to have
kept the business revival out of the coun-
try until after the election, or else he
ought to mend his statements.

A Republicans Testimony.


Captain W. P. Robinson, one of three
white Republicans in this city, said in a
crowd the other day that he testified before
the Sherman committee that he did not be-
lieve the riot in this place was premeditated
and he regretted exceedingly that the
matter had been mentioned in the Repub-
lican platform. Said he: 81 believe the
Republican ticket would have won, but for
this unfortunate clause in the platform"
We all remember the Roman maiden,
who, having betrayed her people, asked as
a reward ''those things which the soldiers
wear on their wrists" Instead Of receiving
their gold bracelets, TO which she referred,
she was crushed to death beneath the iron
shields of the military. The Mahonites
will yet be crushed to death by their own
treachery, and the ides of November will
prove it.-Danville Register

Hon. Roswell P. Flower, of New York.

We are glad to see that SO calm and ju-
dicious a politician as Roswell P. Flower,
Of New York, says that whoever may be
nominated by the Democratic Convention
at Saratoga for Governor will be elected as
a matter of certainty. New York is State
whose adherence to the Democratic faith
assures victory to our standard in the Ma
tional contest. She is nation in herself,
having population nearly twice as large
as the whole thirteen American colonies had
in 1916, when they revolted from the Brit
ish Crown.
Mr. Flower, III his letter to the Jefferson
County Convention, justly emphasizes the
revolution" which has occurred in the pol
itics of this country. He rightly says that
'the people have tasted the fruits of their
victory and are satisfied" We believe this
to be true of the country at large, and es-
pecially true here in Virginia, where the
need of reform was greater than elsewhere,
because nowhere, not even in. the Gulf
States, had the public service been more
debauched. 1t is indeed monstrous idea
of Malone, Wise & Co., that IN this noble
old State, cherishing so high a standard
both of public and private morals, the peo-
pie can be induced to ally themselves with
the party of abuse, corruption, sectional
ism, and tyranny, and at time, too, when the
friends of freedom, reform, and peace have
secured the possession of the Executive
branch of the National Government. Mr.
Flower rightly divines the drift of public
sentiment, and it would be wise step for
the Democrats of New York to make him
their candidate for Governor.

''virginia's Next Governor"

We have received from the N. Y. Cheap
Publishing Company a photographic portrait
of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, and also little book
entitled "Virginia's Next Governor" The
Norfolk Landmark has so well expressed
what we would wish to say, that we adopt
it's notice in lieu of one Of our own. In its
notice of this little book, that journal
says
'It gives a compact, well-written sketch
of Our Fitz from his entry at the Military
Academy up to his nomination, and al
though the career of our gallant Virginian
is perfectly we'll known, this biography will
be read with avidity throughout the coun-
try. Our Fitz can stand all the light that
biographers, historians, or honest men can
turn on him, and the stronger the glare the
better he looks in mind, character, and
achievements. There is no stain on his rec
ord, no dark spot in his life, no deformity
in his nature. He bears great name, and
bears it acorttily, which is the one thing in
connection with high lineage which inter-
ests the people of Republic We have no
class elevated above any other by law, but
there are families which have been and are
illustrious in our annals by reason of the
great qualities of their members. That of
the Lees is one; and Our Fitz can look at
the portraits of his ancestors without a
blush. He has never been an 'apostate'
from any cause or any party, and it is not
in his nature to betray trust or disappoint
well-founded expectation. The people
of Virginia understand this perfectly. They
know that in war he was foremost in the
paths which led to honor, and that in peace
he beat his sword into pruning hook
They know that his yea is yea and his nay
nay. In one word, they recognize him as
that s'noblest work of God, an honest man"

Location for Pottery Wanted.

An Ohio correspondent of the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record is enquiring through
that journal for a suitable location in the
South for manufacturing white granite
ware. We think it probable, that if he will
visit this section of Virginia, he can find all
requisites for a prosperous business. To
commence the enumeration Of them ysr re.
spond, that at Lipscomb Station OF the
Shenandoah Valley railroad the material
exists in glfeat abundance. 1t has been de-
@veloped and is mined with success, turning
out at this time, we think, more than at any
former date. The bulk, if not all, is taken
by manufacturers at Trenton, New Jersey.
The gentleman making the enquiry will OBJ
serve that the raw material bears the cost Of
long transportation, and that factis evidence
of its value, if no other existed; but it il
well known that investigation and expert
ence have demonstrated it to be superior
article. By railroad connection the mines
are only twenty miles from this city, which
has railroad connections to the four cardinal
points of the compass, and every induce
ment which should favorably influence the
location here Of large enterprise in manu-.
featuring the wares named or Of almost any
other kind of industrial pursuits. If the
correspondent of the Record will come and
examine for himself; see our people and
converse with them, he will know more
than can be communicated in this way, and,
we doubt not, mutual capture will be the
result-he obtaining a choice location in
every respect, and our city an industry
which will add to its substantial prosperity.
We have his address, and will see that he
receives this reference to his enquiries.
