Catching II All Around,

Page Courier: Hear what the
Alexandria Gaecttc has to say about
the present Legislature, having as
it has in each house twO-thirds
majority of the Gdeette's own party:
"They have squandered a good
deal Of the money that was in the
treasury, they have been reasonably
unanimous for appropriations, but
not one act of public concern have
they enacted, nor grappled with one
subject of public interest except to
confuse it. Local option, free books,
the public debt, the oyster interest,
the railroad problem-all of them,
any Of them-what has been done!
The Republicans may well guy
them with the outcome Of a two
thirds majority in each house, and
no unfriehdly executive to say Il
forbid'-and a veto presupposes
something to be forbidden. But
there is a residuary veto power I'm
the people, absolute and far-reach-
ing. Our Legislature has put us to
an open shame, and the people will
not forget nor forgive it. Beware
the Ides of March,
The Rockingham Register last
week in an editorial on the subject
of the conference said;
ave think the people Of Virginia
are under the impression that they
have appointed agents enough to
attend to this matter. They placed
Governor Lee in the capitol at
Richmond as their agent to look
after this matter; they placed Mr..
Massey in the chair of the president
of the State Senate to look after
this matter; the made Mr.. Ayres
attorney. general to look after this
matter; they elected forty members
to the State Senate to look alter
this matter, and they elected one
hundred members to the House Of
Delegates to look after this matter
all to be paid for their services
out of the treasury of the State
The Stanton ViRdicatW, the
ablest and most sagacious Funder
paper in the State, says:
"There are lying somewhere in
the Virginia Legislature a pair of
loose reins. TO the Democrat who
shall seize and use them, future
promotion and distinction"
We are only showing up this
Legislature in the light in which it
is viewed by its friends.

Windsor Hall, and the Cleveland,
Akron and Columbus depot were
saved 10y the fremen. When the
fire broke ont there were but two
available engines in the city, one
OF which burst Immediately after
she began pumping. An engine
from Kent was soon on the scene,
but she also broke down soon after
getting to work. Happily the pres.
sure from the hydrants was sufh-
cient to thrown several treams, and
thus the nremen battled with the
flames until Z o'clock, when en-
gines arrived from Cleveland, and
the fire was gotten under control,
the Schumacher buildings, with
the exception of the Empire Mill,
the Oldest of the group, having in
the meantime been reduced to a
mass of ruins. The report that
several man had been buried under
the falling walls proved to be
groundIess. The mills had daily
capacity of 400 barrels of Oat
meal. Schumacher's loss is over
81 100000, upon which there is not
more than 100000 insurance.
The mills will not be rebuilt. Two
hundred and twenty men are
thrown out of employment. Tele-
graph and telephone polls were
destroyed by the hundred and the
wires badly mixed up, and at 3
o'clock but one wire, running out
OF Akron, was working.

If the Funders really believe, as
they claim to do, that the Riddle

amount OF our State Indebtedness,

fair and Just measure, why don't
they prove their claim Of being the
chest people" of Virginia, by mag.
unanimously taking back all the
harsh and severe names they once
applied to other Virginia citizens
for believing aud saying just what
they now do themselves. Genuine
conversion is always preceded by
repentance, and the orthodox view
of both conversion and repentance
is that they not only lead to a bet
ter aud purer life, but also natural
ly and necessarily prompt to re-
stitution and the proper amend for
any wrong done. If the Finders
are right now in their views on the
debt question, the Re-Adjusters
we're right at the time when they
received so much abuse from these
same Fuders on account of their
views. Now, both parties stand
on the same debt platform, and
vet we have heard Of lao Fepeptapt
original Fuder who has brought
nfofth fruits meet for repentance
by asking the pardon of those
whom he coDfesseG to have misrep'
resented and uDjustIy abused,
Considering them from an orthodox
stand point, are we to doubt their
conversion,-Page Courier.

the New York Herald on Saturday
from Wheeling, w. Va, and ex-
tensively copied throughout the
country, to the purport that Col.
V. A. Witcher has been lynched by
a mob for the murder of his wife,
was wholly without foundation IN
fact. The editor of the Richmond
Wing met Col. Witcher in Danville,
Va, Sunday night, when the sub
ject was mentioned, and in the
course ofhis comments and eXplana-
ton, Col. Witcher said he was liv-
ing pleasantly with his wife In Pitt
sylvania county, and had not been
to West Virginia for two years.
Col. Witcher has published let
ter pronouncing the dispatch false,
and its author slanderer. Col.
Witcher served with credit in the
Confederate army, and on the re-
treat of Gen. Hunter through Wes-
tern Virginia in 1864, on falling
back from Lynchburg, hung on his
tanks and worried him greatly.
