JULIAN HILL arrived here last Fri
day from Atlanta. He says Atlanta
is almost deserted. The mines there
have not been worked out, as has
been reported; but were shut
down pending negotiations for sales.
The Tahoma has been sold, but the
Buffalo and Atlanta companies have
not yet effected a sale. The Buffalo
mill will soon be running again. A
man named Williams is putting a
road through from Atlanta to Ross
valley, a distance Of six miles. A
mill will soon be put up at the latter
place to work ore from a gold bear
ing ledge discovered years ago, and
abandoned. 1t was recently re-locat-
ed. A pack-train has gone to Silver
District to pack ore to Atlanta for re-
duction. The Ida Elmore company,
at Rocky Bar, will have fifty stamp
mill up and running at their mine the
coming fall. The Idaho Elmore is
sixteen or eighteen feet through all
pay ore-mostly low grade. With a
small mill the entire ledge could not
be worked at profit. When the big
mill goes up all the ore from wall tc
wall will be crushed.

Not a PITY.

The comments Of the independent Re-
publican papers upon JOHN SHER-
MANS late Portsmouth (0hio) speech
indicate that If it has made any i'm
preston worth speaking Of it is that
the Republican party is suffering from
on exceeding psucity Of political capt.
tai. The Boston Herald regards the
whole speech as thoroughly demsgogic,
ard pretty well demonstrates that JOHN
did not. make a single true averment.
Here is a specimen Of the Herdld'S
style of doing up the worthy JOHN:
"Then he proceeds to declare that
the Democratic Administration has
done nothing in the way OF legislation,
this being his next charge against it.
Clearly, there could have been no legis-
lation for which the Republicans were
not responsible also, for they have
had the control Of one branch Of Con.
gress, which has made it in their power
to prevent the passage Of any Law they
did not approve. The fact is that if
there is any suffering in the country
from bad laws the Republicans are di-
rectly responsible for it. According to
Mr.. Sherman himself, we have been
living under laws passed by Republi-
cans, and which Democrats have not
succeeded in changing. Nothing can
be clearer, therefore, than that, If there
be the blame that Mr. Sherman charges,
it is at the door Of the Republicans it
is to be laid"
And another:
"There is the regulation reference TO
the South as q power in politics, and
The charge that the Executive power OF
The nation is controlled by the teach
iDgs, sympathies, and dogmas of the re-
bellion is something which Mr.. Sher-
man himself knows not to be true, and
expects to be believed only by preju-
dice which is much narrower than his
own really is. 1t is a pity that he
should stoOp to appeal to it,"
We cannot agree with the Herald
that it is a pity JOHN should stoop to
appeal to prejudice. We regard it as
simply retributive justice that JOHN
and all such should commit political
suicide by swinging themselves off the
stage of public affairs with the ragged
remnant Of the bloody shirt. There is
not enough left of that garment to get
another President out Of, but there is
enough left OF il to hang few more
malignants.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1886-10-01

The National Republican says: " Re-
ports from all the trade-centres through
out the country justify the opinion that
there is a substantial improvement IN
business which is rapidly assuming the
proportions Of healthy BOOM" How
does that comport with Mr.. JOHN
SHERMAN's statementin his late Ports
mouth (Ohio) speech that the country
has suffered in its business interests
from a Democratic Administration?
Evidently JOHN aud the Washington
organ of the Grand Old Party have not
compared notes recently. The organ
tells the truth. 1t is generally con.
ceded that business has improved under
Mr.. CLEVELAND; but the truth from
such source at this particular juucture
is none the less a pretty hard kick at
JOHN.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. l, 1886.
The New Lynchburg Railroad.

The New Lynchburg Railroad.
As our readers know, Lynchbnrg,
Halifax, and Campbell have voted sub
scripiions to a railroad projected to run
from Lynchburg into North Carolina.
LynchbuTg has had such woful expe-
riepce with her former subscriptions to
railroads that her papers are naturally
seeking TO discover method of Sc
curing to that city the benefits, if not
the absolute control, Of the proposed
road. The News says:
"One Of the first questions to be set
tied is whether the road is to be narrow
or standard gauge. There are many
who prefer the former, and believe that
1t will be preferable and more advan-
tseeous to the interests Of Lynchburg,
even though standard gauge be FEAST
bic. Certainly the narrow-gauge pos
sesses advantages which are not to be
ignored. In chespness Of construction,
cheapness Of operation, and exemption
from the i'll Of being gobbled by
"rings and made tributary to outside
places, it is to be preferred to broad
gauge. Besides, the hauling capacity
Of the narrow-gauge is equal to all local
demand.
"But The main item which will enter
into the determination Of the question is
ore OF finance. The company may have
money enough, by tight squeeze, to
build narrow gauge; but to build q
broad gauge heavy mortgsging would
have to be done, and the road thus
placed in the hands Of other parties
than those who would build it and who
are most deeply interested in it."
That is one side Of the question.
Certainly it is true as general propo-
sitiOn that freight put upon q narrow
gauge road would have good chance
to 20 all the way to the terminus, in
asmuch as there would have to be .
breaking Of bulk " in order 90 trans.
fer il to q road Of different gauge.
But why not "break bulk" as we'll
at the point at which the new road will
cross the Richmond and Danville as at
Lynchburg? And how as to freight to
be sent out from Lynchburg over the
new road? Passengers of course can
transfer themselves from one road to
the other, and, having through tickets
for themselves, would like to have
through tickets for their freight.
This attempt to draw freight from
North Carolina, across road ending in
Richmond, to Lynchburg, city one
hundred and twenty miles further from
q river nsyigable by large vessels, is au
interesting experiment, as at South Bos-
ton the passengers or the freight would
be only a hundred miles from Rich
mond. We oppose the construction Of
no new railroad. We believe in the
fullest liberty in this respect. Lynch
burg has done just what she had Alright
to do in this matter. We have some
doubts, however, on the subject. II
these doubts are without substantial
foundation, Richmond may profit by
the good fortune and enterprise Of
Lynchburg, and aid in extending mar
row.gsuge railroads into any section
which her roads do not nov penetrate.

Colonel Frank G. Rg6in, Richmond,
Va:
Nv Dear Sir,-I am under great obi
cations to you for the copy of the DIS
patch containing your article, " lrre-
concilsble Decisions of the United States
Supreme Court" and the further copy
containing the reference to and extract
from your article in the London Finan.
cial Netcs upon the State debt Of Vir-
ginia, and fer your explanatory letter
accompanying the same to me.
In reading in the 6rst-named article
your abstract Of the decision in Hagood
rs. Southern, giving the ground upon
which this case was decided, | said at
once to myself that here was the very
principle which should be applied to the
Virginia tax coupon cases, and you very
clearly demonstrate and expose the self
contradiction of the Court in not so ap-
plying ii in Poindexter rs. Greenhow,
as well as the Courts inconsistency and
shutting 10 all these cases.
This whole subject involves the
greatest questions and the gravest dam
gers TO States rights and constitutional
liberty, and | would like to go further
into it so beg to say that to that end
it will be most acceptable to me to be
favored, at your convenience, with the
copy Of the London Financial Ners
which you kindly offered to obtain for
me il desired.
Permit me to add, my dear sir, in
simple justice, that at each succeeding
stage Of my examination Of this subject
l am more and more impressed With
the singular good fortune of Virginia
in having SO able, watchful, and firm
an officer as yourself upon the outpost
of danger to contest every step Of the
attempted Federal usurpation.
| sent you the other day q copy of
the Sun here containing an article by
Mr.. George William Garrett, Of Essex
county, in your State, which | thought
might interest you.
Yours, with high regard,

Oeceive the voters, and cannot succeeu
II the press and the stump will only let

There is q trick OF words, too, in-
volved in the manner which the Ners
attempted to convict us OF inconsis-
teDcy. One reading tho extract OF
Juno 25th would suppose that at that
date the southern congressman had al
ready taken in regard to the BLAIR
bin some course TO which VIC objected
and for which they were to be held to
a strict accountability; whereas the
sentence last quoted from the same ar
ticle shows that 1t was their future
course we were speaking Of. We were
urging Congress the southern members
etpecially--to secure the passage OF the
BLAIR bill during the then current
session Of Congress, giving as reason
that another educational bill so liberal
to the South as the BLAIR bill could
hardly be expected to be offered to our
people hereafter.
AS TO what we said two weeks ago
the facts Of the case are q sufficient
confederation. 1t certainly is bare
faced attempt to deceive the public to
pretend that bill which was opposed
by SHERMAN, and HAwLEY. and
others Of the most conspicuous RePub-
licans in the Senate, and By Republican
leaders in the House Of Representa-
tiyes, is q party measure Of the Repub'
licaDs.
