A. Bcathiug Rebuke.

If the following scathing rebuke to the
paper it would have been attributed to
partizan feeling and prejudice, but as it
appears editorially in the Petersburg
badecAppedl, it may be considered the
party friend. Our contemporary should
have inserted in his enumeration of
things done that should not have been
done the insane law taxing the capital
stock named in charters There could
not have been compounded in the lab
oratory of ignorance and incapacity, a
more reprehensible and injurious meas
ure-taxing as it does enterprises in
the womb. and inviting the indignant
disgust of those who would readily APP
propriate their knowledge, energy and
means for the development of the I'M
touched resources of the State, if not
repealed by such offensive legislation. 1t
embodies an unfriendly spirit, and will
be so considered by intelligent, public
spirited men outside of the State, who
will, in consequence, give us wide
berth, SO as to have our own company
unmolested
The HldeC-Appedl says:
The legislative body which adjourned
at Richmond yesterday will be remem
bered in history, if it is remembered at
ALL for things done which should not
have been done, and for things left I'M

the product of vicious system of ma
chine politics, it could hardly have been
otherwise than ENTHUSIASTICALLY and
morally In point of ability il is quite
safe to say that it did not approach any
of its predecessors prior or subsequent
to the war, and it is known of all men
that it was the mortal enemy of reform
in governmental methods. Its record,
for most part, is one of extravaganza
and oppressive taxation. The meat tax
will stand as evidence of the mOnumen-
tai folly and demagogism of our legisla-
tors long after the courts shall have pro-
nounced it invalid and unconstitutional,
and the poor people who have their lit
tie earnings invested in building and
loan associations will eXecrate a legisla-
ture that increased the tax on these in
vestments while the sheep killing ours
of the commonwealth do their work of
destruction free of taxation, and high
license against the sale of liquor evaded
because it might do the party harm.
The great questions of the public debt,
of immigration, of election reform, and
of other matters equally important have
been almost entirely ignored
But it could hardly have been other
wise. Under the detestable Anderson
Mccormick law it was difficult to induce
men Of real ability and character, whose
talents entitled them to claim political
future, to accept nominations to the
legislature under tn. existing order of
things. Naturally, they were unwilling
to have their records as public men
tainted with even the suspicion of hav-
ing profted by irregular and dishonest
practices on the part of Others, and so
they preferred to wait. Hence it was
that small and Incapable men came to
the front. and the legislative year of
19S9'90 in VIRGINIA is blank, or worse.

Methodism in the South.

There was never any doctrinal differ
ence between the Northern and South
ern Methodists The separation of the
church into Northern and Southern
branches was occasioned by slavery
the moral question involved, in the right
to hold slaves, and as to the institution of
slavery itself. That question having
been settled outside of the church, it is
no longer disturbing issue. There is,
indeed, no cardinal difference between
Northern and Southern Methodists.
There may be some sectional prejudice
existing, which ought not to be; and for
that reason it may be considered adYisa-
BILE for the two branches of the church
to maintain their separate identity.
Rev P. H. Whisner has interested him
self in correcting some popular and
common errors" lodged in the public
mind, as to the separation. but we do
not think he states the case correctly.
1t is true the Southern church may not
have ''drawn away from the present
body, but it is equally true that it was
the slavery question that was the primary
cause of the separate organizations.
Other considerations may have had
their influence, but slavery was the cen
trail and controlling question at issue.
Mr.. Whisner says: The truth is that
the general conference of 1914 adopted
plan for HE separation of the Methodist
church into two church organizations,
the one of which was called the NJ. e.
Church South because the other was
situated north of it and known by the
same name, with the exception OF this
word. The two churches hold a co-ordi-
nate relation as legitimate branches OF
episcopal Methodism. They have not
the relation Of parent and child in any
sense but are sister churches. The nj.
E. Church South cannot draw away
from the NJ. E. church in any sense in
which the NJ E. church did not also
draw away from the NJ. E. Church South.
The general conference of the M. E.
Church South is the Legislative body Of
the church, and has authority to make
certain changes in fhR discipline OF the
church; but there is no authority in the
church to compel the general conference
to make any change it does not itself
prefer to make, and there is no author
ity anywhere for the statement that the
general conference feels in duty bound
to change the discipline somewhat every
time it meets. The general conference
consists of one clerical member for every
thirty six members mot twenty pre- lch
ers) Of an annual conference, and an
equal number Of lay members. The
general conference of 1886 consisted of
1858 members. and the general conference
of 1890 will consist OF a few more than
that number

Death Of Young Lincoln.

Young Abraham Lincoln, only son of
Minister to England Rob't 4. Lincoln,
and only male member of the family of
the Lincoln name except the Minister,
died in London on the 9Th inst, aged Is
years. He was in eomatose state during
the morning of the 9Th, and his stomach
rejected all nourishment The attend
ing physicians expressed the opinion
that their patients end was only ques-
ton of a few hours. For a time previous
to his death he was entirely free from
pain All the members of Minister Lin
coins family were present at the bed
side. The Queen sent to Minister Lin
coin a message of sympathy and condo
lence upon the death of his son. The
body of the deceased was embalmed and
will be sent to the United States.

Middlebrook Items.

Reported for the VIRGINIAN.
Our usually quiet village was the scene
of both joy and sorrow. On Thursday
evening last at about Z o'clock, at her
residence, Mrs. Mamie E. Splitter widow
of the late Henry Splitter, and daughter
of Mordecai Smith, was married to Mr..
Ashby Mccoy, the Rev. Mr. Speigle Off
ciatipg. Soon after the wedding, as the
young and gay were tripping the light
fantastic toe, like officers at Waterloo
who were summoned by the roar of Ma
poleon's cannon from the ball room to
the field of battle, so these were startled
by the cry of fire. 1t was soon discov-
cred that the residence of John S. Nc
Corl1ie was on fire. The flames spread
rapidly, and soon the building with most
of it's contents was in ashes. Very little
of the yaluables could be gotten out but
through the strenuous efforts of the
citizens of the town and the surround
ing country, and the wind being favora-
Bile, the spread of the flames was pre-
vented. However, the large glass front
of the store house of McCorkle Bros
was shattered to pieces and much of
stock was damaged, such as buckets,
blankets, &c. This was one of the oldest
houses in the place, having been at one
time the residence and store room OF
Elijah Hogshead, and contained many
relics and heirlooms which money could
never have bought. The furniture was
costly and of the most modern design
The loss is estimated at between IS. 900
and $4,000, with an insurance of s., 900
on the building and 81 900 on the con
tents. The fire was accidental and oc-
Cured in the basement in colored ser
wants room. A colored infant about
three months old was consumed in the
flames.
The revival of religion is still going on
at Mt Tabor Church with great success

land in that county. Recent lnvestlga-
lions with pick and shovel have exposed
large bodies of what is called seml-bltu-
minOus coal, and in one case what looked
like camel coal. The i-bituminous
is the same that exists in North River
Gap, in this county, and is contlnu-
ance of the VEIN Referring to the pos
sessions of this company, the Roanoke
Herald says:
Proceeding along the Norfolk & West
ern railroad for two miles west of Pu-
lasEi City we reached the property of
the company, divided by the railroad
and Peak Creek The coal land. about
700 acres lies north of both. All along
the base of the mountain and just above
water level are seen evidences of the
presence of coal. In many places it is
cropped out at the roots of trees, and
large Jumps were easily knocked off with
a heavy walking stick. Presently an
opening to the depth of $50 yards in the
hillside was observed, and into this we
went Taking a rule we measured the
depth of the seam of coal and found it

from slate. Side entries had been driven
and everywhere six foot vein OF semi
anthracite is exposed to view.
second entry, short distance west
of the first, was penetrated to depth
of 500 yards, and from the start the
seam of coal measured six feet and ten
inches, is firm and free from slate.
The third entry is equal to that pre-
viously examined, and the fourth has
just been started Here, six feet from
the surface. the miners found d six foot
seam equally as good as the output of
the others.
Acting upon the suggestion of mining
engineers, who have carefully examined
this entire property, the foreman of the
developing force had Il shaft sunk at the
foot of the mountain, and at a distance
of SO feet below the level of Peak Creek
three foot vein of coal was found. A
considerable quantity was removed and
it SO closely resembles camel coal that
at the first glance aiOrity of miners
would so pronounce it. 1t is tirmer than
the semi anthracite and is a different
grade.
The Altoona mines, near Pulaski City,
the output of which is used in the Zinc
works at that place, is of the same quail
lty. In fact, this coal has been traced
from Frederick to Montgomery county.
At North River Gap there are four diff
ferent seams, ranging in thickness from
2! to feet. The surface product is of a
semi bituminous appearance. but very
high in carbon. At short distance from
the surface, in dip of 45 degrees, the
coal assumes the anthracite quality, and
is a splendid burner, and superior for the
CRATE to the Lehigh, of Pennsylvania.
There is no question in our mind, as to
the quantity or quality of the North
Mountain coal, and when mercenary in
termeddlers and unprincipled, ignorant,
greedy spectators are made to keep
their hands off, the North mountain
section will become as famous for its
coal as the most favored districts of

A Creditable Appointment

The appointment of Hon. Park Agnew
to be postmaster at Alexandria, is one of
the most creditable that has been made
in Virginia. 1t lnanifests an intelligent
appreciation Of honest Republican senti-
ment in Virginia. and Difference to the
wishes of the business community di
rectly interested. Mr.. Agnew ia not
only business man of high character,
but a Republican because he believes
ia the principles and policies of the
party. He was not a candidate for the
position, but accepted it in obedience to
the wishes of the President and the con-
sentative element of the party.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Ag-
new was the Republican candidate for
Congress in 1888, in the Sth district,
against Gen Lee, the Democratic nomi-
nee, and that he polled the largest Re
publican vote that was ever cast in that
district. His canvass was conducted on
a digni1ed plane, and he retired from it
with the entire confidence of his politi-
cal friends and the respect OF his Qppo-
nents. 1t is the recognition OF such men
in public positions that gives promise of
Republican growth; and it is only by
such influences that the party deserves
to be respected and supported. When
party recognition becomes the price of
the surrender of manhood. and its ac-
ceptance the badge of slavish submission
to corrupt and disreputable machine,
it is disgrace to the recipient and a
reflection upon the power that confers
it.
The administration and the Republi-
cans of Virginia are to be congratulated
upon the appointment of Mr.. Agnew. 1t
is timely and pregnant recognition,
and a9gurs better things for the party
in this State than some other appoint
ments have assured.
