dent taxpayers, who would have no voice
or vote in the proposed election on this
question, and would thus prevent further
| agitation of the subject, and any possible
necessity of legal proceedings by the unwil.
ling tax payers, in order to prevent the is.
sueing of bonds as now proposed, and save
much needless vexatlon and expense. AS
you are aware, owing to the depressed con.
ditior of trade and the hard times now pre-.
vailing, many people are scarcely able to
raise the necessary means 10 pay their taxes.
In my own case found it necessary to Dor.

According to late published reports, it

William Swackhammer, Sr. an
aged and much esteemed citizen
died at his residence on Blue
Creek Feb. IA. ,es
1t is rumored that Miss Clara
Smith Of Salt Creek and gentle
man of Lancaster whose name we
did not hear were united in mar
riage in Cincinnati one day last
week.
Uncle Bill Kennedy and r. M.
Johnston are each laying claim to
the appointment of census enumer-
ator for Salt Creek Up. They each
voted for Harrison. and of course
under the civil service act each are
entitled to the appointment.

One Of the learned -l?) Sages of
this neighborho6d 'Iahys that a
soldier is not eligible 70 the office
of road supervisor.josWe do not
know what this limb q of the law
bases his argument on, whether it
is because the soldiers are exempt
ed from working on, the public
highways or whether he thinks the
old veteran guilty of treason.
Seriah Stevenson, of Urbana, has
bought Sylvester Garrett's farm
and will move his family on it

Silas Wilson had too much Grip
last week and had to shut down
his sawmill.
The recent law enacted making
it the duty of Constables to kill
dog on which the taxes are not
paid has created quite Il sensation
in this locality. One of our Judges
says he will shoot tho constable
and the killing f9the officer will
be excusabie Ilopftcide on the
ground that the law is unconstitu-
tional.
A great many ofour citizens are
struggling and combating with
the grippe. ..''

Washington Letter.
From oar regular correspondent.

Mr.. Harrison has allowed him
self to be bguiled by the s0ft-speak
ing office-seekers into believing
that that he might again be the
candidate of his party in 1892.
This is daily becoming more APP
parent and accounts for many
seemingly queer appointments.
His idea is to appoint only Har-
rison men, and to carry it out he
has already offended nearly every
leading man in his party. 1t is
only few days since he refused to
appoint relative of Secretary
Blaine postmaster of a Pennsylva-
MIA town, Notwithstanding the fact
that Mr.. Blain had personally ask
ell that the appointment he made.
This bit of wild lunacy, for it can
be called nothing else, on the part
of Mr.. Harrison, furnishes lots of
fun for the politicians here. Me-
Ginty has more show of being nom
mated by the Republicans in 1892
than Mr.. Harrison has.
If the senate committee on
Privileges and Elections decide
the Montana cases, which were
heard Saturday, on the law and
the evidence, the Democrats will
soon have two more Senators. AT
any rate it is hardly possible in
view of the poor showing made by
the Republican contestants that
the majority will have the etfront-
cry to report in favor of seating
them. The report will lie made
this week.

RICHMOND, October q, 1890.
EdifOr OF The DispQfch :

TO the EditOr of the Dispatch:
Your leader in Sundays yesterdays
issue has opened the gate to Richmond g
future greatness. Now, who Will be the
first to enter and start the wheels of pro-
gress ?
Richmond. to be city of any great
magnitude, must OF course depend on
manufactures, as there is no back coun-
try to sustain it as produce market.
1t ia true that some tobacco finds It's way
here, but then look at our sister city,
Petersburg, with population OF less
than one third of ours, and she manu-
features three times as much tobacco as
we do. She also receives good consign-
nents of cotton and peanuts, while we
get none. Now, what else is to build
up and sustain Richmond save manu-
featuring establishments 1t is true we
have some large establishments here. but
they ought to be increased tenfold.
Capital is here in dbund0Rco, but enter
PRISE and push are in Norfolk by the
sea, Roanoke, and other young towns
daily springing up IN the Southwest.
We see in the "West End numerous
handsome private residences being built
in every direction but whore do you
see any manufacturing establishments OF
any note being started i am glad to
witness the improvements mentioned
above, but they are only homes for the
rich who did well with money invested
here. and seem to be satisfied with their
present business at home, and are In
yesting their surplus in foreign cities
and corporations.
Richmond offers extraordinary profit
able fields for manufacturers, but II
home capital is not invested is it reason
able to expect foreign capital to find Its
Way here ? 1t is true that Mr.. Barton,
a stranger, came here ard invested his
money in cold fields" and 1t has done
untold good for our city--had he stayed
away We would not have had "Barton
Heights" or the Fifth-Street bridge, or,
if you choose, viaduct.
Let our mOneyed men keep the bulk
of their wealth at home-not locked up
in banks, but let them enlarge the pres,
cnt manufacturing establishments and
inaugurate new ones then you viii see
such a boom in our city as will cause the
aspiring cities of the Southwest to witbei
aud fade away. and Richmond will be
the objective point in the "Old Domin'
ion" may be considered selfish IN my
views, but then am speaking OF Rlch'
moud's good. So sound your trumpet
loud and continue to blow until some
thing is done.
respectfully, e.

Tho Christian Conference I'm Marion, Ind.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Your correspondent from Chicago IN
his account OF the Christian Conference,
ms he calls it, was not, as | suppose, cor
rectIy informed rs to the nature OF the
so.called conference or its doings. In
stead OF a conference it was the meeting
of the American Quadrennial Christian
Convention. or an assemblage by dele
gaies of all the conferences III the
United States and Canada-2OO or more
in number 1t is true the southern
churches refused TO cooperate with the
northern churches on account OF their
denunciation of slavery and the slave
holders previous to the war. But the
Sonth made no concession-did not
return as Tepentant prodlgals, as
the article seems to imply. The north
ern Church. the offending party, made
the first oyertures, as thes rghuy
should. Indeed, their negotiations com
meuced very soon after the war, but the
South has only recently been ready
TO listen 10 their wooing or to
entertain their proposals. l said the
North was the first 10 make advances.
They sent delegates TO our General Con
vention at Suffolk in MAY last In the IN
terest of union, and yielding to their So
licitations, commissioners were appoint
ed TO meet like number OF commission
ers from the northern branch OF the
Church at the quadrennid convention az
Marion to agree as to the term OF union.
II the union has been consummated. u
was not the South returning TO the
North, or the North returning to the
South, but the movement was simuita'
neous--a mutual coming together, as
two drops Of water by the same attrac-
tive force mingle into one. Each ripe
for the union. the nuptial VOWS will be,
or were, celebrated with reciprocal plea
sure.
would add that the union might have
been effected some years ago but for a
difference in Church polity. But the
union now viii be in general measures
and will not affect the forms Of govern
ment or Church polity Of either section.
