following effect
''The melancholy task devolves upon me
Mr.. Peyton was Attorney for the Common
wealth in the County and Circuit of announc-
ing to the Court the death of Hon. Spencer
Roane, one of the Judges of the Supreme
Court of Appeals of Va. He departed this
life on last evening at this place where he
came few weeks since for the recovery of
his health.
In him the country has lost one of her most
useful and distinguished citizens, liberty one
of her most enlightened, firm and determined
advocates, and the Judiciary, one of its bright
est ornaments.
As a small tribute of respect to the memory
of the deceased, rendered peculiarly appro-
lpriate as it emanates from department to
which he was both personally and profession
ally attached, and from Court over which pre-
sides one who has long been his political asso-
ciate and personal friend, offer for adoption
the following:
Resolved That the Court do forthwith ad-
journ and that the Judge, the Bar and the
other officials of the Court attend the funeral
of the deceased.
The Court and Bar asserting to the resolu-
ton Immediately adjourned"
Two days before Judge Roanes death Mr..
Peyton in private letter says
Judge Roane is a man of superior abilities,
with considerable literary attalnments, is ac-
curate in legal learning and one of our best
lawyers and Judges-he is a good talker,

The negroes in New York have Or
ganized an association to prevent the
1ynching of negroes in the South. AS
negroes are lynched in the West and
North for the same crime that they
are in the South, why the operation of
the association should be confined to
the latter section, is by no means as
apparent as it might be. But, leaving
that point out of view, nothing would
conduce more to the achievement of
the associations object than success
full efforts to prevent the commission
of the crime for which negroes are
lynched. When negro men shall cease
outraging, or attempting to outrage,
white women, negro lynching will cease
in the South-but not before.-AleC

Excess of exports over imports. $ 279,511 ,544
According to the Mckinley protection
gospel, to export more than it imports,
is the way to enrich a nation. This
they call 'balance of trade in our IA
vor.'
The syllogism then stands thus: an
excess of exports over imports is bal
ance of trade in our favor and a sign
of prosperity. This excess of exports
for the year 1894 was the greatest in
our history, ergo: the year 1894 was the
most prosperous in our history:
