rhnt sninrdnY foot.BaII Game.

Richmond College, NOV. ~ 1870.
Editor Times: Suffer few words IN
regard TO the game Of football last Satur-
day between the Randoiph-Mac and
Richmond College teams. In the hrst
Mace i'm regard to the statement implied
in The Times account that the two teams
started out with and kept up a continual
souabble over the decisions of the judges.
we challenge any one of the Randolph
Macon PLAYERS or the spectators 70 point
ont a single decision of umpire or referee
that was disputed by the Richmond
team. Although a decision Of the umpire
lost us a touchdown, we accepted 1t
without a word, as we did all other de-
cisions.
AS TO the claim Of Captain Howison that
there were nine minutes more TO play
when time was called for the first half,
that is simply ridiculous. for the referee
notified that gentleman when he started
the ball from the centre of the field,
after the last touchdown, that there
were only six minutes left in the first
half. and the ball changed hands twice
before time was called.
But the most d.sgraceful part OF the
behavior of the visitors was exhibited
when they wantonly destroyed the ball,
which was the only one that we had
brought to the game. Although We do
not believe 1t was one Of the players who
did the work. the ball was given 20 Mr..
Fletcher for safe-keeping Gas it was Ran
dolph Macon's start off at the beginning
OF the second half, and he or some other
one of his players was seen to deliber-
ately toss 1t among the crowd of Ran
dolph-Macon sympsthizers with the state
ment that il was Randolph Macon's bail,
and il was passed from hand TO hand
until the mischief was done. Then, after
repeated efforts 10 induce them 10 con-
unue the game. even 10 the extent Of
agreeing 10 grant them a new referee,
they still refused. and we sent to town
and procured a new ball and continued
the game with our substitutes
There are many other things we might
say about the conduct of the Randolph
Macon team in this affair. but we refrain
from saying more. and offer as an excuse
for what We have already said desire
10 set ourselves right before the public
in case there may be any misunderstand-
Ing about the part we shared in the dis
graceful occurrence OF last Saturday. We
have never before had the experience Of
dealing with a team who were so hard TO
please that they refused 10 continue the
game with a new referee.
We trust the unfortunate circumstances
or Saturdays game will not affect the
growing popularity Of the great American
college game in this section. and we can
assure the public that. with Messrs. Allen
Potts and Kirkwood Mitchell as the
Judges. our game next Saturday with
Trinity College viii be a contest that
VIII be conducted In a gentlemanly way
and enjoyed by all the patrons of the
sport Trinity has long been a popular
name In Richmond. and Richmond Col
lege will not fail to sustain her record for
fair dealing and 'clean" ball.
Very respectfully
Richmond College Foot Ball Club.

naent7 They have so much direct and
| incidental protection on everything they
| produce. why should they not feel the
weight OF the tariff themselves. to rea-
sonable degree? Why should they have
power and light and heat any cheaper
than the rest Of us2 except that for near
Iy a century they have been so favored
by legislation that IL would be astonish-
ing II they failed 20 get the benefit Oh
any possible opportunity 10 get an advan-
tage over the rest OF the country now
However, we have no quarrel with New
England for the ability with which her
statesmen have managed her affairs. They
have been deeply selfish, but withal' per-
sistent and successful. Now that the
time has come when the tariff Is TO be
lightened. there is no reason in principle
or policy why the New England Stae'es
should not contribute to the support OF
this government by paying tax on the
coal they get from Nova Scotia. TO re-
move this tax and permit free coal at
the lowest prices known TO our seaboard'
20 all New England would be an act
OF grossest favoritism. Let them pay like
the rest Of us for their coal. II the
royalty of this Nova Scotia coal-l2 IL
cents per ton-goes to the provincial gov
eminent Ohe coal lands belong to the
CROWN. at least forty or fifty cents
should be paid 10 our own government.
However that may be. fair ad Valorcm
tariff, for revenue only. should be put on
coal as on everything else.
In view Of this Whitney prospectus. If
the coal-mining scheme is carried out it |
will be hard to persuade the West Vir- |
ginia, Maryland and Virginia public that |
there was not some political pull" made |
for the special benefit of this Boston COM |
pany. We have the utmost faith in Mr.. |
w. i. Wilson, and we earnestly hope he |
won't make a mistake.

SHOULD NOVA SCOTIA COAL PAY
DUTY?

We have obtained some interesting facts
about Nova Scotia coal and it's cheapness
of production, as set forth in prospec-
tus issued by Kidder Peabody & Co.. of
Boston, soliciting subscriptions to the Do
minion Coal Company Qimited). We take
the following extracts:
THE company has been formed to carry
on the business Of mining, transporting
and selling bituminous coal from the
county OF Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. 1t
has charter from the government of
the province, and will operate under a
lease which gives tenure of its mining
property OF ninety-nine years, the royalty
for the whole period being fixed at
maximum Of Il l-2 cents per ton.
"E Gilpln, Jr.. Inspector of mines Of
Nova Scotia states the amount OF avail
able coal on these various properties as
over 750000000 tons.
"Mr Schneider examined the books OF
the Little Glace Bay 'Gowrie. &c, COM
panies and his report shows that they
have been making during the last five
years an average profit Of forty cents per
ton on their output.
Crhese mines are interrupted by ice IN
the harbors for about six months OF the
year. and so the economies OF the COM
panies were seriously affeeted)
1T has been arranged to unite and con-
solidate all these companies. &c.
'Under the new organization. which
proposes Immediately to construct rail-
way OF about twenty-seven miles TO
Louisburg the mines will be
worked throughout the whole year, as
this port is open and easily accessible all
winter.
80, too, the concentration OF the ad-
ministration Of the company will prevent
The internal competition between these
different companies. &c.
SHOULD the United States duty Of
seventy-fve cents per ton be removed. II
seems evident that this company Will
find large market on the New England
seaboard for which its position at tide
water would enable II TO compete on ad-
vantageous terms.
ut IS estimated that Il could put coal
T. o. b. vessel at Louisburg for about 81
ton, probably cheaper than coal is
shipped at any port in the world"
The president of this consolidated Bos-
.ton-Nova Scotia Coal Company is Henry
NJ. Whitney. who. we are informed. IS
the brother OF the Hon William c. Whit
ney, OF New York. SO this Boston en-
terIrise has at least a fair opportunity
TO be heard before the Committee OF
Ways and Means in behalf Of freedom
for that eoal which seems already to have
had so much done for II by nature and
franoiers. For this coal-loaded on YES

particularly suitable for tailor gowns
There is a kind OF open-faced honesty
about button which is refresh
ing after the long period of per
plexity we have been in as to
just how woman managed TO
get into her gown. She has been hooked
up in such impossible places for so long
that we hardly know what to make OF a
dress that is buttoned straight down the
front without any attempt at dissmula-
ton. Probably the very reason why but
tons have such vacillating popularity Is
because they lack this quality so near TO
a womans heart. When they are worn
they are generally put on in several rows
and made to mislead the observer as
much as possible as to which row really
serves to fasten the dress.
So far, a surprising frankness prevails
i'm respect to fastenings. Even skirts.
which have always had the appearance
OF having grown together, are often boldly
buttoned up But buttons are liked best
for trimming. and If little ones are used
for fastening, large ones 10 match are en-

come to the tiny pea-sized buttons put on
in innumerable rows which were the bane
OF a dressmaker's life Probably we will
be spared these, since we have so much
trimming in the way Of jet and passemen-
terie. Besides, labor-saving trimming
seems to be the rule this season, as We
discover from the numerous made braid
and ribbon iounces which are all ready TO
put on the dress without any worry TO the
dressmaker.
The tailor-made dresses are Of course
stitched. The one in the picture is made
OF changeable green and gray cloth. The
skirt shows a return Of Kilt skirts. being
laid In wide box plaits which are stitched
down at the top and ornamented at each
fold with a large button. The stitched
bodice is luxurious with its two pockets,
and has straps trimmed with buttons over
the shoulders. Box-plaited capelets fall
over the muttOn-les sleeves.

Bur 1T HURI- Tar UNPROTECTED

The Petersburg Index-Appeal is one OF
those Democratic newspapers OF Virgil
MIA that believes in the policy Of pro-
| tective tariff. In its issue OF last Satur-
dav II commences an editorial article
thus:
A partial enumeration of the protected
products of Virginia will give some idea
of the magnitude Of our stake in the
policy Of projections;
/. All our manufactures Of every kind
2. our leaf tobacco.
g. our iron ores.
T. our bituminous coal.
4 our peanuts.
6 our timber and lumber, slaves, shin
giles. etc.
7. Nearly all our vegetables.
8. Some OF our fruits.
Q. Nearly all our agricultural products.
TO- Sumac.
II. our fish. fish oil, etc.
12 our slate. lime, plaster, etc.
13 our salt, potash, sulphur, sulphuric
acid. etc.
IA. Our wool. sheep. horses, cattle, etc.
The Index-Appeal believes that it is for
the greatest interest of the greatest num-
of the United States shall prevent out
siders from selling to Nirginians any one
Of the articles enumerated even though
they would sell them the article much
cheaper than Virginians win. Now let
us look into this. 1t is true that there
are certain number Of Nirginians
interested in the growing Of peanuts
and these are interested TO have pro-
tective tariff on peanuts that will pre-
vent Bermudans selling peanuts In Nir-
ginia- In this way the Virginia growers
of peanuts can combine together and put
any price on their peanuts that they
choose. and all the other Virginians
must pay that.priee or eat no peanuts
That part OF Virginia's population, then
which grows peanuts is interested TO
have a protective tariff on peanuts. But
the Virglnians who grow peanuts are
a very small part Of the population Of
Virginia. Now. all Virgnians Ike to eat
peanuts, and all want to buy them as
cheaply as they can. Therefore, all them
except the growers, want the Bermudans
TO be permitted to send their peanuts
here because they will sell them much
cheaper than the Virginians will. Which
should be considered in framing the tariff
The few VirginiaDs who grow peanuts,
or the overwhelming majority who do not
grow them but are very fond OF eating
them?
We merely mention peanuts as an eK-
ample. The principle would be equally
well illustrated by any other article which
claims protection.
A small part Of the population is inter
ested in producing each, while all OF the
population wants each. II protective
taria is applied, It helIs that part Of the
population which produces the article but
il hurts that other overwhelming part OF
the population which does not produce,
but does consume the article.
The only justification for a tariff on
peanuts, or anything else. is to raise a
revenue for the expenses Of the govern
ment, economically administered When
this honest and just rule Is abandoned,
then begins the scramble to plumber the
Treasury and all who can claim any
benefit from protection combine to help
one another against the rest Of their
fellow citizens and a more corruptlns
influence cannot be named.

The Trouble Canes From Lack Of Care.

DR.. Lambert the general medical direc-
tor of the Equitable Life Insurance Com
pany, n y, said:
"Wc reject sixteen per cent Of the appca.
tions made To IS Tor insurance. and havesavNd
the entire expense ol this medical depart
meut, By the rejection alone OF applicants who
had diseased kidneys, and who died within two
years after ] ej-cteu them.'
This appalling statement coming as IL
does. from such high medical authority,
should have the attention of our citizens.
There is no reason to day, why people
should allow kidney disease to get such
a bold on them
Nature sends her warning in the slight
pain in the back, poor circulation Of the
blood sediment in the urine When any
Of these symptoms appear, DR.. David
Kcnncdy's Euvorito Remedy should be
taken in small doses at once, and thus
drive the poison out Of the blood and
restore the kidneys to healthy action.
To our knowledge this is the only medi-
cine that surely and oifectually cures this
almost universal complaint
We note the happy recovery Of Mr..
Oscar Lambert of Jerico, Mo, whose
case has been talked OF in the papers the
