rriE STATE wITn THE TIMES

The state saws: I'VE are entirely
| agreed with the Times that baio'-DoN
stufflng Is desplcable and contemplate
and that its indulgence in any community
is sure TO breed demoralzaton ana law
lessness." Good for the State. We Know
then. that II can be counted on by those
who demand reform and purity IN our
election methods.
The State also declares itself very
greatly in doubt as TO the expediency oil
constitutional convention. We assume TINS
TO mean that, as at present advised, the
State Is opposed to convention. where
fore we say. good for the state again.
The State stiIl claims. however. that the
negro vote should be controlled by law
though It admits that it does not see how
this can be DONE and IT calls on the Dis
patch. the Danville Register and the Nor
folk Ledger. which journals have been
putting forward the demand that con-
yention shall be held to control the
negro vote by law" to state the method
by which this is TO be done. The Times
joins the State IN this call. Let us
have the specific measure by which this
is TO be done. so that we may be able to
form an opinion upon its merits.
But the State says further:
'In the community in which this writer
has lived there has been no tamperins
with the ballot-box. But the negro vote
has been controlled. and there Is peace,
4. . he -
Here is the solution OF the trouble.
Strong men are in no need of fraud and
trIckery TO control weak men. The cher
ished and time-honored Democratic prin-
ciple of local self-goyernment is all that
we need. Let the Federal Government
keep it's hand away and leave the counties
TO regulate their own affairs. and what
will be the result? The robust and moral
elements will assert their right TO domi-
nate, and the weak and timid will concede
the right through that subordination which
always arises when strong natures are
brought into direct contact with weak
natures. In this way the Democratic prin-
ciple OF the equality Of all men before the
law will be recognized and respected; we
shall have a people without serfdom or
peonage. and the negro will gradually
come to casting his vote as he is able to
reason out the best side TO cast IL on
after hearing and weighing, as Wen as
he can. all the arguments that are ad-
dressed to him. Let us cling with a firm
grip to the Democratic principles of the
equality of all men before the law and
the right of each neighborhood to rule its
own affairs. and putting all thought of
fraud and unfairness behind our backs.
we shall steer our course straight along
through the breakers without any lasting
risk of rocks or wreck

AN HONOR WE NUT DECLINE.

The Dispatch seems TO think the Times
is the guardian of the public morals in
the sense of having some sort of respon-
sibility for them cast upon 1t different
from that which rests upon other citizens.
Flattering as this estimate OF its place
in society is to the Times, it must decline
the honorable position invented for it by
the Dispatch. The Tines is nothing but
one OF the plain. everyday citizens that
tries to obey the laws. and counsels its
fellow-citizens TO do the same. But 1t has
no sort of responsibilities. in the way of
having the laws enforced different from
those of other citizens. The public has its
representatives in the Commemorative
attorney and the grand juries. and 1T is
for them TO set the machinery of the laws
In motion to punish violations Of them
and not for the Times. The Times does
its full part when IT declares and makes
known that in some counties cheating oc-
ours In all elections. The fact that the
Commemorative attorneys and the grand
Juries take no cognizance OF the matter
which is known to all men In those coun-
ties shows that even IL the Times were the
public prosecutor which the Dispatch
would make it. its efforts, as matters now
stand, would be Without avail.
But the grand juries and the Common
wealths attorneys are the parties 10 set
the law in motion. The Times can do no
more than make the facts known. WIN
the Legislature or the courts have the
courage to apply the remedies?

A Lesson FOR MIR. WILSON.

When Mr. Johnson, of Ohio, disclosed
the fact n day or so back in the House
OF Representatives that the Cambria Iron
Company had entered into contract
with the receivers OF the Sparrow's Point
Company to buy 100000 tons of steel rails
from them at s25 (Which is 81 per ton more
than the market price,. but with n right
to avoid performing the contract by pay
ing the receivers 81 per ton for the 100000
tons. he brought out state Of facts that
ought 10 have made Mr.. Wilson sec and
understand the absurdty of constructing
principles OF protection. The stee-rail
business is in this shape: Three con-
cerns--the Carnegie. the Cambria, and
the Illinois Steel Company-have formed
< pool for their manufacture. Two other
concerns were able to give them some
annoyance. no they determined 10 buy
them of. They bought one OF them off
by paying them $4,000 year not to
make rails weighing over fifty pounds
yard (Which ends them as "a compettor).
row Point Company. by the aforesaid
contract.
This gives them monopoly OF the steel
rail business. Mr.. Wilson's bill imposes
q duty Of something like s. per ton on
steel rails. Now, let us see how this
works. Steel rails can be made in Eng
land and laid down in New York for
little less than $50 a ton. Mr. Wilson
nuts ON a tariff OF a little less than s.
per ton, and the combination fixes the
price Of rails at s2i per ton. and shuts
out the English rails.
What does the pool make at this figure?
II Mr.. Wilson had concerned himself
with Investigating this instead OF with
applying Republican doctrines through
Democratic measures. he would have
found that steel billets, from which steel
rails are made. could be bought in De-
cember for si6l0. But Andrew Carnegie.
who IL a gigantic man In affairs OF this
sort. has equipped his works with such
powerful machinery that ne can make
rails direct from Besseraer pig without
the Intervention of the billet. He puts a
great quantity OF the Bessemer pig into
hts cupoia and takes IL out fused into
ingots Of steel, and he rolls these out
into rails. or into steel billets. as he pre-
fers. lie has done away With the steel
billet In the manufacture OF rails. as
some book-keepers do away with the
Journal in bookkeeping. posting direct TO
the ledger from the day-book.
Very well. What does this mean? It
means that he can make steel rails at the
coxt OF steel billets. which we Lave seen
were worth in December sie.io. Mr.. Car
nesie has. therefore. a clear profit OF be-
tween 81 and y a ton on his rails The
Illinois Company and the Cambria Com
psny arc equipping themselves with the
same machinery. Hence the pool.

Major b. w. Lynn, Superintendent Of
the penitentiary, will at once start into
the farming business preparatory TO run
ming a convict farm for the State, in
accordance with the provisions Of the bill
which, it is hoped. the Legislature will
pass. He has closed up a contract with
the board OF visitors of the Soldiers Home
under which he will run the farm con-
nected with the home for one year from
December 1st 1876. to December /, 1884
The contract provides that Lee Camp
will turn over all farming land 10 the
Virginia penitentlary to be worked as a
garden on shares. Besides the land the
home Will furnish the farming imple-
ments now I'm hand. half Of the cost Of
the seed. and half of the cost OF the
fertilizers necessary. while half OF the
products raised on that farm shall go TO
the home.
The home will furnish the guards for
the safe custody Of the convicts as
deemed necessary by the superintendent
Of the penitentiary and the president
OF the home. The crops TO be raised are
to be selected by the superintendent Of
the pententiary. The latter also agrees
to render the home such assistance as
may be necessary TO keep the grounds
r.
fair and equitable by the president Of the
home.
Major Lynn said yesterday that he
expects II will require about a dozen con-
victs TO cultivate the farm and he pro-
poses TO have the men sent 10 the home
every morning and returned 20 their
cells at the penItentiary I'm the evening.

HOUSE FIVE FEET SQUIRE.
A Gu Ious Dwelling Probably Erec ed for
spi e.

A curious structure is being built, re-
lates the New York World. on a bit OF
land scarcely five feet square at the north
west corner OF Fourteenth street and
Irving Place. The building which at
present occupies that corner Was at one
time leased by the notorious Billy Nc
Glory. 1t is owned by Mrs. Stuart, VINO
is now living in Italy.
The building is peculiarly shaped. 1t is
back of the building line some distance,
and the apex OF the right-angle triangle
looks as If II had been chopped OF. This
was done while the structure was IN
course of erection so as not to touch
upon the land owned by the Schermerhorn
estate.
TWO days ago laborers began 10 dig
upon this fragment Of the SchermerhOrn
estate, and last night they had progressed
quite way. There are windows and signs
on this small wall. and If structure Is
put up. it will not shut out much Of the
light from the interior of the house.
Manager Weber. of Hollencer a Co,
the lesseeS of the corner building, said
last night that the little house was
built out of spite.

The correct thing at weddings is a very
serious matter TO decide upon. and requires
the greatest care and attention. There
was an old saying that 1T takes two TO
make a bargain" but fashion has turned
this down as being altogether Inadequate
especially when II comes TO weddings.
However. the system has resolved itself
into a very easy proportion. for the larger
and more important the wedding the great
er the number of reasons necessary 10
solemnize the occasion.
Your country swain takes his rustic
bride by the hand and leads her without
ceremony and alone TO the preacher or
magistrate. who marries them with no
more ado than 20 call in his wife and
daughter as witnesses. But all How many
people are needed TO marry fashionable
pair, There are the four bridesmaids, and
the four best men, besides the one who
gives the bride away. and the ecclesiasuc
who ties the knot. In connection with
weddings an interesting question might
be. (Which is the most married. the bride
or the groom?' Any one who has ever at
tended n fashionable wedding will answer
unhesitatingly: "rhe bride OF course.
To be sure the groom is quite necessary
TO the ceremony, and Is incidentally mar
ried. but all the pomp and ceremony Is
arranged with special reference 10 the
bride. and everybody IS straining to get
n glimpse OF her. just as you see the IN
terested young woman IN the picture
doing.
This reminds me OF the other partici-
pants In the wedding-the guests These
all have their relative importance. and
must dress accordingly. The one shown
above is evidently quite an important
guest, for she Is dressed very elegantly
only the upper part of her gown can be
