four inches, yet it weighs fully SO

himself, and left it at the Elk saloon,
where all who wish can see it. He
says that there is fully two feet Of
this kind of ore, besides some second
class.

ing, leaving only the front standing,
which will be completed and rented
for stores, shops, or residences.
The property is paying small in
terest on the investment, but nothing
for looking after. This, Mr.. Montan.
don says, is very uncongenial to him.
and interferes somewhat with his legal
business, to which he wishes 20 devote
all his time. He only took 1t, in the
first place, to secure a debt and did
not intend to run it. BY tearing down
the building he can recover over
$1,000 worth of lumber that will be
better for him than green stuff, as
he can use it to construct barns on
his ranches below town. He also has
200 new chairs that COS, him 625 cents
laid down, and which he can sell
for 70 cents or 81 each. The lamps,
stoves, stove-pipe, chimneys, stage
furniture, etc, will bring $500 to $500
more-so that he can realize fully
$500 by tearing down the Theater,
and have the lots and double front
building left. One half Of this he oc.
cupes as his Office ana residence, and
the other half he can rent. But he
does not wish to be bottle red with the
tearing down and trading jobs whicl!
such course would render necessary,
and besides. he is averse to depriving
the citizrns of Haley of their pub
lie hall while there is not another fitted
to take the place.
For these reasons he has requested
the TIMES to mention the matter, that
the citizens may be enabled to take
what action they see fit. If nothing
is done, Mr.. Montandon will un-
douhtedly demolish the Theater by
the middle of June, if not sooner.

Senator Stewart Unearthiug Fraud
Oh Lead Miners.

Senator Stewart of Nevada is en-
gagged in an important controversy
with the Treasury Department con-
corning lead and lead ore. Both articles
are taxed Il cents per pound by law.
Several years since Secretary Sher.
man ruled that such stuff coming in
from foreign countries--mainly Mex
leo and Canada-when mixed with
gold and silver, should come in free
under the law admitting such metals
free of tariff. This ruling has brought
all the lead and lead ore mixed with
any precious metals, and no duty has
been paid. Stewart objects to such
policy. and demands that all gold and
silver ore mixed with 10 per cent Of
lead shall be made du.iabie.

trict. He is one of the ablest men in the
Democratic party of Virginia. and we
write that sentence with full knowledge
of its weight; he is one of the most popular
and effective political canvassers the Dem
ocracy of Virginia has, and his voice has
been heard in every part of the State in
unrequited labor for the party; he is fully
informed man on the great issues now be-
fore the people and on them he takes the
side of the people; and his popularity with
the people of the District spreads over its
whole territory. He is the sort of man
who will bring clean hands to public po-
sition and return it to the people IN.

believes public positions to be public

He has broad and liberal views, and is

on national aid to education, and on Civ.
ing American labor that protection which
will secure it from foreign competition
And in November the masses of the people
of the 10th District will be with him.

GEN. MALONE AND THE
KICKERS.

Some weeks ago it was fOreshadowed that
Gen. Malone would set a trap for the
kickers to walk into, in the matter of de-
Gliding on a single Republican electoral
ticket for Virginia. At this writing the
situation between the regulars and the
kickers stands about this way: The Ma
tional Republican Convention at Chicago
having admitted the MISUNDERSTANDING
chosen by the State Convention at Peters,
burg, and disposed of the electoral ticket

at-large are concerned, the Houston

sion retired ex-senator Lewis and ex-Cov.
Cameron from that position. 1t also retired
the Kicker electors from the Fredericks-
burg district and the Wythe district and
recognized as legal the Malone electors
for the Petersburg and Staunton districts
chosen at Petersburg. This left the cleo
tors from the I'd, Sd, 5th, 9th and 18th dis
tricts still in dispute. Chairman Houston
last week wrote to Chairman Malone with
a view to reconciling the differences of the
two wings on these disputed electors.
Gen. Malone replies in characteristic
letter, contemptuous. arrogant and de-
termined. He says the electors chosen at
Petersburg cannot be replaced without
they resign, having been legally chosen
and their position being now beyond ques-
ton, and beyond reach If it were question
ed. But when the congressional nOmina-
ting conventions. which his Committee
has called, shall assemble, the delegates
present if they are not satisfied with the
electors already chosen, in the I'd, Sd, 9th,
9Th and 18th districts can express their pref
erence for some other men and the present
electors will resign and let the new men
in. How much show kicker will have
of being chosen an elector in any of the dis.
tricts named, may be inferred from the
Generals methods of running congress
sional conventions. II ought to be Gle

THE COUNTIES AND THE RICH
MOND EXPOSITION.

We have the authority of the Richmond
"Whig'' for saying that it is the opinion
of Attorney General Ayers, that each
County Board of Supervisors has the
right to appropriate money to have its
county represented at the Richmond Expo
sition. He holds that "the Board Of Super
visors is legislative body, and consequent.
ly has the right to appropriate the county
funds for the best interest of the county,
just as the Legislature has the right to ap-
propriate State funds for tie best interest
of the State" Commemorative Attorney
M. F. White had already given similar
opinion relative to the powers of the Au-
gusta Supervisors. If doubt of their au-
thority is controlling reason for their
continued non-action in this matter, we
trust, now that it is cleared up, they will
again address themselves to the considera-
ton of the Importance of Augusta IS repre-
sentation. 1t is of 30 much Importance to
the county in the matter of her prosperity,
that all who wish her we'll are 10th to see
the matter dropped. The patriotic and
generous offer of James A. Patterson, Jr.,
Col. Jno. H. Crawford and Sheriff T. R.
N. Speck to see, as members of the Bald
win District Fair, that articles sent to it
and intended for Richmond, shall be sent
there without cost or trouble to the exhi-
bitor, is worthy of the highest praise. But
we all know how much, more weight will
be given our county at the Exposition, if
she has her own agent there and an organic
ed exhibit of her products. The simple fact
of having an agent at Richmond to talk
up Augusta-her lands. products, and
resources would be worth many thousands
of dollars to her inhabitants. Certainly
the meeting of last court-day was of size
and character sufficient to give weight to
its recommendations to the Supervisors.
Even if Augusta were willing to hold
back her neighbors will not permit her. In
Albemarle not only has the Board of Su.
pervisors appropriated an additional $500
to sending Commissioner to Richmond,
but General T. L. Rosser has offered per-
sonally to pay one-tenth the expenses of
an agent to be sent to the North and
Northwestern States to travel for one year,
urging on the people the inducements Al
bemarle offers to settlers who want to buy
farms. In Rockbridge. the leading men
have taken hold of the matter of represen-
tation and are pushing it. The little coun-
ty of Wythe has appropriated $500 and
appointed Commissioner, and would
have appropriated more. but that the citi-
zens of the county are engaged in raising
another purse for the same purpose. SINH
lar movements are being made in many
parts of the State. If Augusta stands still
now it will be the costliest rest her people
ever took.
