A NEW CONNECTION.

Every wide-awake city in this country Is
irving TO improve its railway connections.
Such endeavor is absolutely necessary 10
keep the city abreast of the times. Rich
mond may well afford TO follow the example
of Lynchburg, Memphis, Birmingham and
other cities in this particular, and the way
is open apparently just at present for better
Southern connections. The Norfolk and
Western railroad has been talking of COM
irc into Richmond from Farmyile. While
they are talking it would be well for COM
mittee of the Chamber Of Commerce TO call
upon the authorities OF the road ana
| urge upon them the benefits of taking
action. At the same time the committee
| would do well 10 have a conference
with the owners Of the Virginia and Caro-
lima road. The Georgia, Carolina and
Northern railroad is completing its connec-
ton between Norfolk and Atlanta. 1t
opens up a new country which at present is
not easy Of access from Richmond. 1t is
suggested that this new line be tapped at
| Ridgeway and North Carolina by line
| from Petersburg, and thus line may be
established between Richmond and Ridge
way by using the Petersburg road between
| Richmond and Petersburg. This is most
important connection, and it is believed
that proper action by the Chamber of Com
merce would do much towards giving
Richmond this new route to its natural
fields.

UNHAPPY TOM REED

in view of the persistency of Mr.. Reed III
travelling through the country, and on all
occasions partitioning of the South for viii
fcation and abuse, and knowing that he
presents a very large proportion of the
people of the United States, it is very graft
fying TO think of the great and interesting
prosperity of the would-be prescribed Sec
ton. Mr.. Reed and those who act with
him had as well understand from now on
that our "loins are girded,' and the South i,
going to fight any issue detrimental to her
that may arise, but the fight will be made
inside the Union. 1t is New England's
time now TO secede-she threatened TO do II
early in the century-and if Mr. Reed
dosen't like the "united country" he can
signify it by Withdrawing his section-we
will attend to getting it back, though I'M
like the teeming South, its barrens can well
be spared. MIR. Reed is an open enemy, and
that is much in his favor, but an enemy he is.

FLOYD COURTHOUSE, Oct. 1.-The
political ball was opened here Tuesday. 1t
being County Court day large crowd was
present, and when court adjourned at noon
The announcement was made that there
would be speaking in the courthouse. The
house was soon fIlled. Mr.. T.. W. Saunders
was introduced, and led off in speech OF
an hour or more, in which he thoroughly eX-
pressed the iniquities OF the Republican
party, showing how false that party had
been TO every trust and promise TO the
people: how the Blair bill had been killed
in the home of its friends, and how the
people had not been relieved OF the Odious
and oppressive internal revenue laws. lie
poured hot shot into the enemy all along the
line. His speech was well received ana
made good impression upon our people.
After Mr.. Saunders had concluded Hon.
=. G.. Lester took the stand and gave an
account Of his stewardship, and arraigned
in severe terms the Republican majority in
the House for their many acts OF lawlessness
and usurpation. Mr.. Lester concluded by
urging the people TO turn out On election
day and not TO regard his election as as
sured, because he had no opposition, saying
that Opposition, like JOnah's gourd, might
spring up in night, and take the Demo
Gratis unawares on election day.
From the best information received here
there will be no Republican candidate IN
this district, and while no Republican
would stand any chance Of beating Lester,
vet we all know that if it was not for the fact
that the Force bill is pending, there would
be opposition in every district in the South.

FREQUENT announcements are made OF
long Pullman trains heavily loaded down
with capitalists leaving points in the North

of making investments in our new fields OF

the case in the West when that was the
scene of interest to those in search of for
tune. The pioneer caravan, the rife, the
wilderness tar from the centres of popula-
ton. Such were the elements in the settle
ment of the West; and at a later stage, the
struggling town, the boisterous inhabitants,
the unchecked lawlessness. In the new
birth of the economic South, immigrants
and investors are whirled along through
a country which has enjoyed all the bless
ings of civilization for hundreds of years.
and they stop in communities as orderly
and as firmly established as those left be-
hind, but extending as many opportunities
for the acquisition of fortune rs if they were
as recent as the communities of the ex-

MECHANICAL ENGINEERS.

Interest in the intended visit 10 this city
of the American Society OF Mechanical En-
gineers should not be confined to those OF
our PEOPLE who are engaged in forms OF
business that are intimately connected
with the different branches Of The science
OF engineering, and whose occupations,
therefore, will oftec be referred TO in the
discussions that will take place at the ses-
sions OF the Society when il conVenes here
The welfare of every class in our CON-
munity will be promoted In general way
by the meeting of the Society In Richmond
for not only will its proceedings be followed
with the closest attention by persons resid-
ing In every part Of the United States, who
will thus acquire an insight into the ma
terial condition surrounding us by theirre-
lation 10 mechanical engineering, but the
members of the Society themselves will be
men of wide influence, whose favorable I'M
preston of the character Of our city will re-
suit in very great advantage TO us as a
community.
This advantage will not be confined to
Richmond, but will really extend to every
division Of the State, and will be Immensely
enhanced if the members of the British In
stitute. who are now in this country, shall
reach Richmond in time TO take part in the
session of the Society. The two bodies
united would constitute an assembly Of men
who have it in their power to confer meal
culable benefit upon the material interests
of oar people by enlisting in our favor the
consideration Of most important class OF
capitalists not only in the North, but in
Great Britain.
This is the selfish view to take OF the re-
ception to be extended 10 the mechanical
.engineers who will visit us so soon, but
there is still another view which should
have an equal weight with all Of our citi-
zens, and that is the reputation which our
people have long borne for hospitality.
The members Of the Society will be
strangers in our midst, who, entirely apart
from material considerations, are entitled
40 the fullest courtesy at our hands, as men
who have won great distinction in one Of
the most useful and honorable of all
professions-a profession which is rapidly
rising in importance, especially in the
Southern States, which are now so actively
employed in developing their various natu-
raj resources. For that reason, if for no
other. the proceedings Of the Society will
be followed with peculiar interest in this
section, and cannot but exercise a most
valuable and instructive influence.

RETENTION I'm OFFICE.

The reelection of Senator Morrill, to the
position which he has occupied for so many
years, and with so much distinction and
usefulness from the point Of view Of his
party, calls renewed attention to the con.
sentative policy OF New England in select
ing its representatives in both houses OF
Congress. Much complaint has been ex-
pressed as to the number Of prominent chair.
manships held by these representatives,
which, il has been claimed, are out Of pro-
portion TO the relative population ofthe New
England States, and the amount of influence
10 which they are entitled.
IL the eye is run over the leading chair
manships of both the Senate and the House,
1t will be found that, with few exceptions,
they are filled by New England representa-
tives. This very naturally has given them
great weight apart from the force Of their
intellectual abilities. Ii is questionable,
however, whether they would have been APP
pointed in so many instances TO chairman
ships but for the custom prevailing in New
England of retaining in office, year after
year, and session after session, every man
who shows himself TO be in possession of
special aptitudes for public life. The longer
such men hold their public positions, the
more capable they become from experience
and observation.
The leading New England members have
been holding their seats for a long series Of
years, and have, in that course of time,
gradually worked their way up to tine
highest degree of prominence as chairmen
OF the most important committees. a pro-
longed membership of either House is an
element OF great personal distinction
which carries weight in all deliberative
assemblies. The Republican voters of New
England have been wise enough TO recog-
nize this, and in consequence Of the gen.
eral policy which they have pursued, they
continue TO control the national party TO
which they belong, although the preponder-
ance of wealth and population has long
passed TO other sections.
Itwould be highly judicious in every Sec
ton OF the Union to follow New England in
this respect, provided thai the men retained
were men of tirst-class ability, like Ed
munds, Hoar, Morrill,, Reed, Dingley, Hale,
and Frye and others that might be named.
but it would be a short-sighted course if
the representatives were men of mediocre
talents 10 whom long retention in Office
would lend no special influence. The policy
Of Kentucky, State that is peculiarly
fertile In the production of men of the high
est ability, is similar to that Of New England,
and justly and properly so. The policy of
the other Southern States is not so marked
as that OF Kentucky, simply because they
have not In recent years been so much fa-
vored In the intellectual force Of their rep |
in Congress.

FOREIGN MANUrAcrUsEs,
