Special Correspondence OF the Register.
HOT SPRINGS. Va. September 20
How many Of us are aware of the nat
ural beauty and charm of many OF the
mountain resorts of Virginia and West
Virginia, most of them being clustered
together within a radius of say 90 or
70 miles. taking the northwest section
of Bath county, Va, as a centre? How
many are there who know of 3he inyig-
Grating qualities Of the atmosphere and
the virtues Of the mineral waters which
abound in great variety at many OF
these spas? If, knowing them, how
little are they appreciated, a condition
much worse and more reprehensible
than if resulting from ignorance. The
writer gives vent to these views be-
cause of the unprecedented and vast ex-
edus to Atlantic City during the past
summer, and what for? Only to get a
half hour or an hours sea bathing each
day, and then suffer the tortures OF the
damned for the remaining 70 hours IN
the shape of intolerable heat, vicious
mosquitoes, and over-crowded accommo-
dations, wretched CUISINE and poor ser
vice; in fact, about the only real lux
ury to be had, and that in plenty, was
the extortionate prices. How different
at the majority Of the aforesaid noun
tain resorts. Reader, the writer has a
few impressives concerning an ideal
mountain spot which may be OF service
TO you, whose mental and physical all
ments need the restorative powers OF
the proper natural mineral waters, or
who is so run down from the humdrum
of machinery and the constant worries
and cares of business and the shop,
must get away to some quiet spot and
dnvigorating atmosphere, where rest
and recreation are sure attendants.
Such a place is almost any of cur noun
tain resorts, but an ideal is the Hot
Springs, Bath county, Virginia. The
writer has been here long
enough to become delighted
with the place and > its sur
%roundings, and why should he not ex-
press himself for the benefit Of others.
There is much virtue in its mineral
waters, either taken internally or APP
piled externally in the way of baths,
and some Of them may fit the case of
many a Register reader. Aside from
the waters there is a restorative and
health-giving power in its mild, clear
and dry atmosphere. Situated in the
heart Of the Alleghenys, $500 feet above
sea level, away from dust, smoke and
noxious vapors, of necessity it possesses
beneficial qualities to a high degree.
Besides the Hot Springs there are the
Warm Springs, five miles away, and
the Healing Springs, three miles dis
tant, all owned by the Hot Springs
Company, which | opine is a syndicate
of the larger stockholders of the Ches-
apeake & Ohio Railroad Company. AS
Sam Weller would say, a wheel within
a wheel. But whether that be so or not,
the company is acquiring the most de-
sirahle territory for miles roundabout,
and is constantly expanding vast sums
in improvements. Naturally the situa-
tion is most charming, but to the end
that natures work might be utilized to
the best advantage for the comfort and
delight of visitors, money is being law

BALZAC

says.
What are we to make of the fact that
although Honore de Balzac died in 1850,
yet now, on the very eve of the TWEEN
tieth century, no fewer than three
t~ranslations of his novels, each putting
forward pretensions to completeness
more or less justified, are offered to the
English-speaking world.
One of these issued by $ = s of
Boston, has been in course of publica-
ton for some years, = y + it has this
demerit, that MANY OF THE VOL
UMES ARE ABRIDGED, and AL
MOST ALL OF THEM ARE EXPUR-
GATED.
A second translation is being brought
forth in London under the editorship
of George Saintbury; the prospectus
OMITS SEVERAL VOLUMES of the
Paris EDITION DEFTNITIVE.
STILL A THIRD TRANSLATION,
ADMIRABLY PRINTED AND ILLUS
TRATED, HAS JUST BEEN PUB
LISHED BY GEORGE BARRIE &
SON, OF PHILADELPHIA. THIS IS
NEITHER ABRIDGED NOR EXPUR-
GATED, AND is THE ONLY ENG
LISH VERSION WHICH MAY CLAIM
TO PRESENT EVERYTHING CON-
TANNED ON THE EDITION DEFINI-
TIVE BROUGHT OUT IN PARIS BY
MICHEL LEVY IN THE SEVENTIES.
The Barrie editions not only possess
pre-eminent literary qualities, but the
plates. prepared especially for this edi-
ton by the best French water-color
painters (who alone are capable of illus

THE INDEPENDENTS.

The position of the Democratic party
of Virginia with respect to independents
is the same this year that it always has
been, and is what it always must be, SO
long as it hopes to preserve its effective
ness. But in every case we would have
persuasion first resorted to IN order 10
show the Independents the error Of their
way.
This persuasion ought 10 come partic-
ularly from serious-minded members OF
the party in the localities where trouble
prevails. They ought to appeal to their
disaffected friends in such terms as will
open their eyes TO the danger of their
course. 1t is impossible that this years
Democratic majority in the Legislature
should be impaired seriously by these
sown may spring up in the next local
elections and give the Republicans tho
opportunity for which they long have
been waiting.
For the sake of the counties as cOun-
ties. for the sake of the party generally,
and the State at large, every effort should
be made TO induce the Independents to
acquiesce in the decisions Of our state
Committee.
We say let persuasion be tried as far
as possible. In some cases it will sue
coed. we are almost sure. Where it fails
our party can then 90 before the people
and appeal TO their calm judgment and
unwavering loyalty as Democrats.
Temporary disappolntments should not
control the political action OF sensible
men. Our party is essential to the well
fare of the Old Dominion. and the work
for it TO do will continue through gene
rations yet TO come. No other organiza-
ton can fiji its place properly. There
fore, the true Democrat ought TO be will
ing to make much of personal sacrifice
rather than strike a blow which may
injure the party's prospects.

TIE CARTER CASE.

There is reason 10 suspect that the
President was at last, hurried in bis de-
clson i'm the case Of Captain Carter by
the demands Of the political situation IN
Ohio. There IS a hot campaign going on
I'm the Buckeye State, and one OF the SINS
charged against the national administra-
| ton is that It sought 10 shield carter
from the consequences Of his crime.
The history Of the conspiracy through
which the government was swindled out
OF a million Of money appropriated ior
the Improvement Of the Savannah river
has been printed in pamphlet form ana
widely distributed In Ohio. That IT has
injured the Republican party. there can
he no doubt. Nor is there any question
that the party's leaders in that state
have been anxious TO have the cause OF
their trouble removed. And at last they
have got I'm their work" The sentence
Of the court-martial has been approved
substantially and Carter will 90 to Fort
I.eavenworth for five years.
II is said the news OF the Presidents
Z
did After fighting off punishment for
eighteen or twenty months he hoped TO
have clemency extended him. He thought
ne could eude justice. And the probabili-
ties are that he would have been success
ful but for the exigencies Of the Republic
can party.
That Carter's sentence was just and
proper we cannot doubt. He used his
high position in the Engineer Corps TO
crafty his avarice. Where he should
have been holding contractors to rigid
account. he was I'm league with them to
cheat and swindle. He was not only
rogue. but a traitor to duty. He had no
excuse for stealing except that he might
roll in luxury The pay his rank entitled
him TO would have provided handsomely
for all his necessities.
The cause Of justice has been shamed
enough on account Of the delay in exc
cutting the sentence Of the court in this
case. and it would have been outraged
immeasurably had Carter been allowed 10
go unpublished. SO, no matter under
what squirting he acted, the President has
done the right thing in approving the SEN
tence Of the court.
While poor and Ipfriended criminals are
being severely punished for small thefts,
il is incumbent upon the government to
make examples OF big offenders also when
they are caught Against Carter person
ally and apart from his crimes we have
10 prejudice, but we must say 1t was
very impudent in him to expect that
social or political influence should eX-
cmpt him from the consequences Of his
misdeeds. The failure Of the extraordi-
nary efforts made 10 save him viii have
healthy effect upon the public mind. For
that failure the people are indebted TO
the newspaper press which would not
"let the thing die out" and would give
the President and his advisers no peace,
so long as they were Sinking duty.

IN THE POOR OYSTERS.

the Virginia Citizen, published at
I,y1ngton. I'm Lancaster county, IN I's
last issue has two-column editora'
under the foregoing heading
II objects 20 the proposed CONSTITUTIONS
amendment upon the ground that 'ne
oyster interest is already suihcieh'N
taxed and says that the amendment was
hustled through at n time II we fe'an
correctly. when the Tidewater people
were in n life and death struggle WIN
the Digs and Pitcher fish bills ana was
In a measure. lost sight Of by the rep
resentatives Of Tidewater.'
II IS n fact that that amendment weh'
through the two houses very quieuy'
Nevertheless It took its regular COURSE
was referred TO the regular coih-
mittees-was reported and passed as
required by law. so far as we can re-
collect there was little discussion upon
IL. and little would be known about IL
now II the people had to depend upon
IN. official advertisement. so small Is
the type used in that public notice.
However, II our llltilNS "a W.
country were surprised two years ago
there could be no excuse for their being
surprised at the coming legislative ses-
sion. They know all about the amend
ment now, and an adverse vote thls
winter would prove quite as effectual as
such vote would have proved at me
session Of 1878.
But what Is the fact in the case? why
we find the oystermen divided IN opin-
ion as to whether the amendment should
be adopted or not.
Much as we sympathize with the oys-
termen in their efforts to save their
industry from disaster at the hands OF
experimentalists. we cannot but reite-
rate our belief that with the Tidewater
members divided in opinion on this SUD-
iect. the amendment certainly will go
through the next legislature. Then in
due course. Il will reach the people, and
be adopted, or rejected. as the voters
may determine at the polls.

DEWEY'S FATIGUE.

From all accounts Dewey was badly
used up by the excitement and hand
shaking to which ne was subjected on
Friday and Saturday. 1t is said too,
that he now suffers from insomnia. And
he stnl has to go through with another
series of ovations at Washington, while
Chicago and Philadelphia are demanding
that he shall visit them! Richmond also,
is asking, but in a modest way, that the
Admiral will pay her a visit. when the
launching of the torpedo-boat Shubrick
takes place.
But more important still, there is a
movement on foot TO make the Admiral
President Of the United States. As yet,
it is only in an embryo condition, neither
Dewey nor the boss politicians having
given consent as yet. Nor have Mr. Nc
Kinley and Mr.. Bryan been interviewed
upon the subject. Possibly Dewey would
give the matter some consideration if
they would urge him TO run.
But. alackl when we come TO think Of
IT. if Dewey could not stand two or three
days frolcking in New York, how could
he stand a presidential campaign. and all
the horrors Of inauguration-day. and the
subsequent tormenting TO which Office
seekers certainly would subject him? How.
indeed!
