BOLD ATTACK By RoBBERs.-A dispatch
from East Liverpool, OHIO, says the resid
ence of Robert McBane, an aged farmer
living few miles from there, was visited
early Monday morning by two masked meu.
who forced an entrance through the cellar
window aDd found their way upstairs,
where the family were sleeping. They at
tempted to chloroform the inmates, but were
not successful. When they we're discover.
ed the family vas aroused by their appear
ance. They knocked three small children
almost senseless and locked them in a small
room, and asked Mr.. McBane to give up all
his money, saying they knew he received
81, 600 Saturday for some territory he dis
posed of. On being told he had not closed
tie bargain and did not receive any money,
they struck him with fire-shovel, cutting
an ugly cash in his head and knocking him
senseless. His wife pleaded for mercy.
They removed her to a small closet and
locked her in. After searching tho house
from cellar to garnet and fiuding nothing
but small amount of silver they escaped,
leaving no clue. A neighbor who happen
ed to call few hours later forced his way
iHto the house and found the mother and
children almost sufocated in their quarters,
and Mr.. McBane almost dead from loss Of
blood. No cine TO the identity of the
masked ruffians has yet been discovered.

The New York Ereniag Post, Republi-
can, after carefully studying and anaIyz ng
the Rhode Island vote, is oonvinc, d that
the late election brings that State clearly
within the Democratic column. The amend
ment giving the ballot to naturalized citi-
gems aided 5000 TO the vote of the State.
The result in Rhode Island depended upon
what proportion of these new votes were
Democrats. 1t would seem from the re.
turns that the Democrats got 5000 and the
Republicans only 1000, showiuga net gain
of 1000. The Republican majlrity has ex-
ceeded 1000 only once since Grants first
election in 1872, and then thanks TO Demo
cratic apathy. Again, the Democratic vote
ut the late election, 81, 1856, is greater than
the Republicans ever cast before, with one
single exception.
The Post Is satisfied that Rhode Island
is, from this time forward, in the Democrat
ic column, unless it is bought by DOODLE

Bad Roads.

It appears that the Governor of Penn
sylvania has been making stirring appeal
to the legislature of that State to make such
changes in the road laws as would give a
spur tn recover the lost art of road making.
IF Pennsylvania is deficient in this parti
cular, how much more so Virginia is appar
ent to every man who has travelled to any
extent in the two States. In this common
wealth, however, new or amended laws on
the subject are unnecessary. The present
laws are ample if they we're only enforced,
and this might readily be done if the voters
at the ensuing spring election would elect
to the position of supervisors only such
men as pledge themselves to emf rec the
laws already in existence for the building
and maintainauce of good county roads.
Even If it we're necessary, there could be
no hardship iD measure of taxation aud
proper supervision that would compel the
C instruction of good roads. Most of those
we now have in Virginia are simply dis
grace to civiiz alton, made all the worse
from the fact that there is no just reason
why it should be so. Fifty or sixty years
ago, before the building of railroads demon
al zad the old system of transportation, the
necessity for good roads was better under
stood, and good roads were made upon
SiCeo oANNO "hoiOoSoidiOo ar d tboctOi VI
economy. But, having obtained railroads,
the necessity for proper facilities of getting
TO the railroads and for getting back ward
and forward in the country seems to have
been nearly lost sight of, and this is equally
true of the roads entering the cities and
towns of the State, notably those in this
vicinity, where, in winter time, it requires
three or four horses to drag one horse
wagon through an illimitable sea of mud
Yet, after all, the country roads are the
main matter. The railroad traffic is nearly
all carried over them, and traffic ten
times larger and more important is carried
in addition. The common roads are the
true common carriers. When they are
bad-lnd they are nearly always bad-they
Impose grievous burden alike upon town
and country. The small tax Is like hole
in the pantaloons pocket that let's the loose
change slip through without the observa-
ton of the owner. 1t is all the worse be-
cause there is no use in having it there
