Tur ATTEMPT to make it appear tnaI tno
II. Supreme Court encroacheo upon 'ne
-eserved rights of the States when it deciar-
ed Yesterday that General Mahone's iee'sla-
ture had not the power to do with Inc o'a'e
debit Of Virginia just as it thought ht' Is Ut
terly vain, for section 10 Of article OF 'ne
Constitution declares that "no State snail
pass any law impairing the ooiigatioh %
contracts" and, formulated as it may nave
been. everybody who knows any thing al
al about the Malone legislation respecting
the State debt, knows that it was deliberate
lv intended to impair the obligation OF .ne
r ,ntract the Stat had made with her credit
ors. and was therefore as the Court declared
uttsrlv unconstitutional. The Mshoneltes
themselves acknowledged this at the tme'
and have never denied it, and even went SO
far az to name a portion Of the Legislation
referred to coupon killers" showing that
their object was to render valueless coupons
which the State had contracted to receive
for taxes. and which bare upon their lace I'D
nlain letters tho terms Of that contract. NO
the Court in its decision only sustained the
Constitution of the country. 1t all lis pre-
vious decisions had conforn"d to that IN
strument as closely as that of yesterday the
nsonle of the country would have been hap
nier in the past; if all ts subsequent hecl-
sions shall do 20, they will he happier IN the

TIE MAHoNEITEs are well aware, thougn
they attempt to appear ignorant of the iact'
that the feelings entertained for them Dy
their fellow citizens, reputable republicans
az we'll as democrats, do not result from
nolitical differences. There is no politics
In Mahoneism. General Malone himself
has said he has no politics, only policy. he
voted for Hancock, but WAS Tor Arthur be-
cause Arthur was for him. He said he was
a better democrat than Ben Hill, and then
voted to put the republicans in possession
of the Senate. He is an ex.Confederate,
and vet he voted against the repeal OF the
statute prohibiting ex-Confederates from
holding commissions iu the army. No,
Mahoneism is not politics. 1t IS worse than
the worst sort of politics; and now, having
lost the prestige Of success, its fall having
been as rapid as its rise, and no danger
being apprehended from it in the future, its
hideous and revolving image is partly re-.
lieyed and even rendered ludicrous by the
grotsaqueness of iis appearance.

to get in his work on Dave in front of
the postoffice this morning. A badly
bruised knee and ankle was the result,
but no bones We're broken, blanket

being seriously hurt. The verdict of
the spectators was that the animal
would be very good horse when he
was very dead. and not beforehand
that he was dangerous animal alive.

The Dull PnniI.

WORD FOR HIS ENCOURAGEMENT.
These words are written III the inter-
est Of those boys and girls who find it
hard, If not often impossible, to keep
pace with their classmates in school
work.
We know there are many bows and
GINS who sit in the class dreadjnp the
coming OF their time TO recite, fearing
that word may betray their uneer-
falnty and confusion, hoping for the
recitation hour to expire before being
called upon, and thus TO escape the pain
and humiliation of failure. Is not this
condition of mind dangerous Que? Is
not the duh pupil often forced into as
Stunning to know what he or she does
not know, under the stress of pride
the desire to appear well.
It may not be, but it has seemed to
us, that the methods of teaching now
used cause much unpleasant and iniur-
ious rivalry among pupils, making
quick. apt students seem brighter, The
dull, slow students still more duh.
Some of the seyerest trials of life,
through which meu and women ever
pass. we've those coming to them while
attending common schools, pursuing
the common branches.
Careful indeed must be the teacher
lest he require too much, lest he expect
too great results. No keener injustice
can be done than that inflicted by the
teacher in reprimanding the duh pupil.
who is honestly doing his best though
falling OF perfect recitation.
More than one teacher has learned with
deep regret that faithful. patient en-
deavor by the pupil has been met by
MN with little or no encouragement.
ofttimes with censure. How many
teachers have found terms work to
have been little else than valueless to
some of her pupils. in arithmetic it NAV
be, because being slow to understand.
the first steps were not mastered before
being hurried into more intricate por-
tions, they failed to get the relations
and connections. failure here being fatal
to progress. Too great pains cannot
be taken to illustrate. prove and verify
each step. Not how much, but how
well, sounds trite and commonplace,
but it is withal, the true motto.
We are not fault finding. far from it,
We know how welcome word of sug-
gestion is to true teachers. We do
think, however, that the best results
are not forthcoming from some methods
OF teaching now In vogue To those
pupils who are slow in mastering the
daily lessons there is the encouraging
thought that what is learned, be it ever
SO little, is a permanent possession, the
mind having taken tenacious hold of it.
The severe labor of getting little
knowledge gives a sturdy mental power
most valuable. While the school work
OF the dull pupil may not secure the re-
suits directly sought, it may yield per-
slstence. patience, habit of faithful
application, which counts for much in
the worlds work. Let the slow plod-
ding pupil be not discouraged, let HIM
dare to be Ignorant of many things, let
him feel that progress IN life is only in
part measured by his progress in school
scork.

This was at one time live mining
town, but of late years there is little
mining done except at the Ross zinc
mine. Four hands are now employed
at this mine and large quantities of
zinc are raised. visited the mine one
frosty morning last week, and, having
put on an old coat borrowed of friend
near by, went down the steaming shaft
fifty feet on ladders to see the miners ut
work. ! found Aft. Mcdonald, Dick
Pascoe, Ed. Wren and Dave Robinson
at work, the first three at the face of
the drift and the fourth wheeling away
the ore and waste dirt. The working
face OF the drift is about fifty feet wide
and rather less than four feet between
cap and floor, with ckjack, dry bone
and lead irregularly scattered through
the whole mass, blackjack being the
principal ore at this level. There is a
good sheet of drybone higher up and
running down from the upper level to
the lower in vertical and pitching crew
ices. Lead does not show in large
quantities in this mine but mixes up
with the zinc ores. Considerable guam
titles of uncleaned zinc were lying
about the top of the shaft and more at
the foot. The miners say that the out
look for ore is not as good now as it
has been, but there seemed to me to
be pretty fair amount in sight. There
is but little mining for lead at present.
