Chancery Court.

In the Chancery Court before Judge
Lamb yesterday the case Of Bull 81 Grubbs
against r. Hughes & Brothers and others
was tried before jury.
The case grows out of a suit at law in
the Circuit Court, wherein Hughes & Broth
ers obtained by default in November, 1881,
a Judgment against Bull q Grubbs for
some $3.50
The bill alleges that the judgment was
obtained by surprise and mistake. This
court has suspended the judgment and
the Jury are now trying the issue as to how
the accounts between Bull & Grubbs ana
Hughes q Brothers stand.
Bull & Grubbs claim that Hughes d
Rrothers. by reason of the breach Of con-
tract owe them some $500. Judge Ed
mund WaddlH, Jr.. and J. Samuel Par
IRISH represent Bull & Grubbs and Robert

THE INsrNCERE REPUBLICAN PRESS,

when trouble is to be made In the South
and civil discord prompted, the Repub-
lican journals of the North are never
weary OF prating about frauds in elections
and the necessity that the General Govern
ment shall interfere in our local affairs
with offensive force-blis to secure to the
negro his right TO vote. But when an hon
est and q sincere effort is made amongst
our people themselves 10 secure honest ana
clean elections. these journals are as dumb
as oysters. They are afraid that the effort
may prove successful. and that their stock
in trade for the Republican campaign
abuse of the South may be taken away
from them.
1t is our sincere belief that nothing could
happen more is2Tpointing 10 the New
York Tribune than for our efforts TO
secure pure elections in Virginia to prove
a complete success. For this important
branch OF its business it would be equiva-
tent TO mercantile assignment, and its
shop would have 10 close. what does the
New York Tribune care whether the negro
casts his vote and gets 1t counted or not,
so that 1t has framework on which II
can hang the SANDERS by which 1t hopes
to run the Government at Washington?
We have never known anything which
brought out in clearer light the fraudulent
insincerity of these newspapers than
their perfect indifference TO any movement
which shows the courage apd truth OF
our people as in the present case.

A GENERAL ROiD TAW.
Mr.. Il. c. Pitcher, of Fsuquier, Expresses
HIS Views,

Several days ago Mr. Pitcher. Of Fau-
quier, received a letter from Mr. A. G..
Willis. Of Lignum, CuIpeper county. ask
ing him TO express his ideas as to gem
eral road building law. In compliance
with this request, Dir Pitcher yesterday
addressed the following open communica-
ton TO Mr.. Willis:
Hall of House Of Delegates,
Richmond, Va. Jan. -, 1894.
Mr.. \. G. Willis. Lignum, Culpeper coun-
~, Va,
Dear Sir.--In answer 10 your request
that / formulate my ideas as 10 a road
building law l herewith submit the fol-
Lowing:
The road laws now in force in the va
rious counties are totally inadequate: the
expenditures entirely too small for road
building purposes. which were intended for
the keeping of the roads in repair il
would be as reasonable TO expect that
the repair force of a railroad would be
sufficient 10 build a railroad as that the
means now used for keeping county roads
In repair are sufficient to build county
roads. Ny idea Is that you should have
a bodybuilding law. In no wise connected
with the present road-repairing laws I'm
force. And after some years in the study
Of the subject, and considerable expert
ence in building and grading dirt roads,
have come 10 the conclusion that We
should have a law creating commission
OF three landholders; who should be prac-
teal men, TO have charge Of the road
building OF each township. The best
means In my opinion for raising money
would be by the sale of county bonds. the
amount of bond issue 10 be equal to so
per mile in the aggregate Of all the roads
you desire To build or improve. which l
suppose could be fioated at per cent,
and should be 1870 bonds. After your
roads are put In good shape under this
plan. you can reduce your road levy. and
thereby create a sinking fund by which
you can meet these bonds.
Now as to what constitutes a good
dirt road in the counties Of culpeper and
Fauquier, my experience is that they
should be from - 10 - feet wide, in
GLIDING bitches. and I'm no place narrower
than 10 feet, including bitches. The ditch
cs or drains, such as are made by the use
OF piow and road machines, should be at
least Ii inches deep on the outer edge,
and the roads wel-rounded in the center
Such a road should be so drained that
water would not stand on 1t. and the
bitches should carry the water of as rap
idly as 1t drains into them. Such road
viii last for number OF years with 1T
tie or no expense. All waterways. where
not too large. should be crossed by Gull
vert instead OF bridge. My opinion Is
that road building should be done by con-
tract. The law passed should contain
general specifications for the making or
repairing OF roads hereunder, and the
three commissioners should be named In
the act Of the Legislature. Vacancies In
said commission should be filed by the

We must say to the Dispatch that we
do not know that a truthful man writ
ing in confidence is at all less particular
10 tell the truth than when writing for
publication.
We insist that a truthful man writes
nothing but the truth, as far as he
understands it, whether writing in con-
fidence or writing for publication. Mr..
Beverly made specific statements in his
letter TO the Times. and We suppose that
he felt just as sure he had good reasons
for them as IL he had written his let
ter for publication. IL the Dispatch will
reflect we feel sure it will be compelled
10 admit that il has found nothing in
the fact that MIR. Beveriy's letter was
intended TO be a private one. which In
any way whatever tends to discredt
its statements.
