POLITICAL NOTES,

Mr.. Blaine, still at Florence, Italy, re-
iterates in three column interview with
correspondent of the N. Y. "World.' - his
sincerity in withdrawing from the con-
test. When asked if under any clrcum-
stances he would permit his name to be
used as candidate, he replied in the
''most emphatic negative" and reminded
the correspondent that he had told him
last December in Paris that he had made
up bis mind not to allow the use of his
name.
It is reported from Washington that the
committee will present its tariff bill this
week.
The Wytheville ''Herald" Nv. G. Pen
dleton editor;) and the Highland 'Recor-
der" wv. W. Brenneman editor,) both
edited by gentlemen of influence in the
Republican party of Virginia, jim the
"Valley Viiginian" in its assault on Ma
hone as the leader of the party. The
Herald" commenting on the Generals
now notorious anti-Blaine secret circular,
says: "Gen. Malone mas made the mis-.
take of his life and can no longer claim to
be a successful and Wise leader" The
Highland Recorder" characterizes the
secret circular as 'serious mistake" and
| announces its intentions to express its
| opinions of such mistakes, ''even at the
risk of being read out of the party"
Congressman Yost made his maiden
| speech in the House last week in advocacy
OF bill pensioning Mrs. Mary B. Kirby
of Virginia, the widow of U. s. regular
army officer who died OF fever contracted
in the Seminole war. He was gallant sol.
| der of the Mexican war, once wounded,
and twice brevetsd for bravery on the
field. Mr.. Yost carried his point Except
that the House would not vote Der arrear-
ages of pay and Mrs. Kirby will get a
pension of $50 month.
the credentials of Hon. John S. Bar
bour, Senator-elect for Virginia, were
presented by Senator Daniel last week and
ordered to be put on file.
The Winchester "NeWs'' commenting
on a communication signed Justice in
the Charlottesville "Chronicle," urging
the denomination of Hon. C. T. OFF rrall
to represent the 18th district again, says
Justice seems to forget the promise
made by Col. O'Ferrall when he was nomi
mated the last time at Front Royal, thai
he would not be candidate for reelection
| against the able and talented son of Fred
i erick-Wm. r. Alexander. We think
Col. O'Ferrall should make good his
promise and give way for Alexander, who
has done as much for the success of the
Democratic party as any one in the State
according to his age.'

last Friday evening one of the departing pas
sengers left in the car valise. The next
morning the depot officials found and opened
it. 1t contained the body of white infant
wrapped in rags to which was pinned this
note: "Whosoever gets the satchel will
please bury with respect. Oh God have
murcy! Shame and dishonor are the cause
and the love for my mothers grey hairs. The
little one did not live many minutes after
birth"

Every dollar due by the city has been
promptly paid on presentation and the
rate of tax is exactly the same it has been
sin, g May l, 1881, with the exception of
one year.
1 ask you. Mr.. Editor, to go search the
records of the acts of all former councils,
since the town was first incorporated and
let the public know if they show as many
permanent and useful improvements,
which exceed IN value the bonded debt
made therefor, as much as do the value f
the improvements above mentioned, ex
coed the increased bonded Indebtedness
made for their benefit.
1t is natural that some of the present
council should be unpopular with certain
of our ''good citizens" but they must not
let their prejudice blind them to the fact
that this council as body. has made
record that Stanton can point to with
pride, and one that little Charlottesville
can only envy.
The motto of to-day is grumblers TO the
rear, and progressive men to the 'front.'

FRIDAY MORNING. MAR. 2. 1883.
a CHANCE FOR OUR COUNTY
LANDHOLDERS.

The Commissioner of Agriculture made
q report to the General Assembly of Vir-
ginia few days since, in which he said !:
s'Since my accession to office more than
one hundred letters have been received from
persons outside of the State, especially from
the great Northwestern section of the Union,
making inquiries for homes in Virginia. Il
Most of them ask for reports, hand
books, maps and statistical information in
regard to the agricultural, industrial, manu-
featuring, mining, social and religious condi-
ton of our State, price of property, &C."
These inquiries come from American-born
citizens of the now frozen Northwest, men
with means and families seeking homes singly
and in companies. Being satisfied that
the vicissltudes of climate in the Northwest
will drive, and is driving, the better part of
the population of that section South. and that
this class of settlers is greatly needed in Viz
ginia, make this report that your body may
take any action you deem proper in the
premises.
