As the Winchester Times says, John Sher-
man in Ohio and Johnnie Wise in Virginia
are following the same track. Both are en-
gagged in sowing seeds of discord and hate
between two sections of the country. Both
defame the South with a view Of building
which each may excite. Johnnie Wise is a
useful adjunct to John Sherman, for he
furnishes the outrages for Sherman's mill
johnnie loses little by his defamatory course
men thai follow him are either deep-dyed
in their ignorant prejudices or are calous
to the sense of shame, while his ISLANDERS
serve to solidify and excite the 120 600 ne
gre voters upon whom he relies TO. success.
Opposed to John Sherman in Ohio, Gov.
Hoadiey is engaged in a manly and sturdy
vindication of the slandered South. He re-
presents that growing and liberal feeling in
The North which looks towards the unity
of the country in fact and in SENTIMENT
There can be no progress for a dismember
ed nation. A country divided by sectional
animosities cannot progress.
Opposed to Wise in Virginia the gallant
Fitz Lee leads the liberal hosts. The same
sentiment that desires to see the tomahawk
buried between the North and South desires
to see peace between the two races. There
would be no white mans party but for poll
ticians of the Wise stripe, who seek to keep
the negroes arrayed in solid phalanx.

Washington Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, D. c., OcT. 5, Il

WASHINGTON, D. c., Ger. 5, 1885.
Mr.. Editor = Washington is soon to
have new attraction, which. although the
result of private enterprise, bids fair to ri
val the Government museums and public
buildings as place of interest, and will,
doubtless, receive it's share Of attention
from the ever-changing army of sight-see-
ing visitors who congregate at the Nation
al Capital during the time that Congress is
in session.
A joint stock company, composed of
Chicago capitalists, prominent among whom
may be mentioned the names of Hon. 8.
Corning Judd and Gems. Beveridge, Fitz-
simmons, and Thompkins was formed in
December last for the purpose of erecting a
permanent building in this city in which to
illustrate upon canvas the famous battle of
Manassas.
The building which is now under con-
struction, is located upon the corner of
Ohio avenue and Fifteenth street. 1t will
be sixteen-sided structure, 1876 feet in
diameter. The walls will be of brick and
the roof of wood and iron.
The painting will be one of the grandest
scenes ever portrayed upon canvas. 1t will
be 377 fe let in length by 46 feet in height,
and extend entirely around the building. An
idea of it's magnitude may be had when it
is considered that nearly eight tons of paint
and oil will be required in its preparation.
The figures will be about one-fourth nstu-
raj size.
An elevated stage or platform accessible
by means of commodious stairca>e) will
| be provided in the centre of the building
| from which to view the painting.
Work is being pushed forward rapidly,
and it is expected that the artist, MIR. T..
Poilpot, of Paris, under whose charge the
painting is to be executed, will be able to
commence his work in November.
A large corps of assistants will be en-
ployed. and the exhibition will be open to
the public in February or March next.
| The work of unloading the silver recent
| ly brought from New Orleans has attracted
large number of spectators to the navy
ya1d. Eleven wagons of the Adams Ex-
press Company are used in transferring the
silver to the Treasury. Eaah wagon is &C
companied by special officer. Fifteen
boxes, containing in the aggregate about
two tons of silver, are carried each trip, and
the work has been in progress since Monday
morning.
| It seems to be settled now that the Pres
ident will appoint an entirely new board
| of civil service commissioners. Messrs.
Eaton and Gregory have resigned, and 1t is
expected that Mr.. Thoman will send in his
resignation within a few days.
| Gen. RosecraEs the new Register of the
| Treasury, seems to meet with opposition in
every quarter. He now finds that he will
be unable to get rid ofth chiefs of divisions
in his Office although he has asked for and
received their designations, the President

virginia's Great Progress-Nearly $6o,-
100000 Increase in Values in Five Years.

The Lynchburg Neps says that despite
the partisan cry of ''hard times which the
Malone spouters, headed by John Wise,
are making, Virginia shows most gratlfy-
ing and surprising increase in values WIFI
in the past five years. The re-assessment
figures for real estate are now all in the Au-
ditor's office, and the enhancement IN real
property which they show is $36, 1O3, lS3.oS.
The increase in personal property IN tne
same time is stated to be $21 1856, 750. 1t
thus appears that the taxable values OF the
Commonwealth, real and personal, have
increased within the last five years $51,-
9SS.62, Or at the rate of over 81, 900, OoO a
year; and this at period of general depre-
citation.
In publishing these most gratifying hg-
ures the Industrial South, non-partlsan
journal, says, ''there has been much said IN
general way of the growth Of Virginia IN
wealth and of the improving condition OF
her people, but the conclusion was Daseo
largely upon estimates and conjectures.
We have now the officially ascertained facts,
and they are eminently satisfactory, better
even than the estimates and copjectures.-
No other five years of the Commonwealth
history, we venture to say, have shown bet
ter results, and this Notwithstanding the
fact that included in the last five years has
been season of severe business depression
And as nothing succeeds like success, the
progress here shown will generate still
greater progress. 1t will encourage our
people to renewed exertion; it will give
confidence in enterprises that have beer
contemplated with hesitancy; it will in
duce our young men to remain il the State,
and it will attract capital and immigration
from other States where the condition anG
prospects are not as favorable for business
as here.
1t is a glorious and wonderful thing to
see the old mother State recovering hel
strength and her fortunes as she is doing.
Virginia, be it remembered, was the very
vortex of the cyclone of war that devastated
the South. For four years she was trampled
and rent by contending armies, among the
largest and most destructive known in
modern warfare. No other State has been
SO ravaged, Frustrated, and exhausted as
she, but yet from that GLOVER Deep in
which the war left her, she has rallied and
recuperated with resilient power that
shows superb vitality. The reaction has
been splendid. There must be grand ele-
ments of strength and growth in State
that can SO soon recover from an overthrow
SO complete. And the people by whose ex-
ertions this has been brought about, are
they the easy-going, self-indulgent, indo-
lent, and unenterprising people that igno-
rance or ill-will has represented them as be-
ing. We say no, thousand times no
None but people Of unconquerable will
and indomitable energies could have made
of a State so trampled in the dust as Vir-
ginia was twenty years ago, what she is to-
day. She is putting on her regal robes

saying that his speech was one continuous

be appreciated or praised by those morally
depraved and destitute of sense of honor
