Ashby Talley, son of Mr.. Samuel Tai
ley; narrowly escaped death by drown
ing in the Chapel run last Wednesday
evening. The heavy rain that evening
swelled the waters OF the creek about 81
feet above its normal dow. knowing
that the high waters had driven the
musk rats from their dens along the
creek, Ashby went down to the run TO
catch some of these little animals for
their skins. On the other side of the
creek he saw some fine specimens of the
rodent tribe, and he attempted TO cross
the water on some drift aud rails to get
them. This drift proved trescherous
bridge, as when about the middle of the
creek II gave away and Ashby went into
the water. The swift current caught
him and carried him beneath the drift
wood on down the creek His father
saw him fall into the water and ran to
his rescue. He was unable, however, to
keep up with the swift current and
Ashby was carried several times under
the water Some distance below Ashby
managed to catch hold of willow bush,
TO which he held fast until his father
came up and pulled him out of the water.
Ashby Jared none the worse from his
perilous experience except good
ducking.

The bankers and syudicates which
run the United States through the
republican party have brought for
ward proposition which was scorcb-
ed by President Jackson years ago
that of founding a United States
bank which should enjoy the priv
leges similar to those allotted to the
Bank of England, including those of
deposits of Government money with
out interest and all that that implies
J. Pierpont Morgan is understood to
be the prime mover in the scheme,
which be sometime ago submitted
tentatively to Government officials in
Washington. He proposes to estab-
lish a financial institution strong
enough to stand between the Govern
ment and the world in case of need
and to float loans, stop money panics,
etc, and shortly after his return from
Europe will bring about, it is said,
some important consolidation of New
York banking houses, so as to form
a great central banking concern with
something like a thousand million
dollars capital. The increase of pow
er given by such a consolidation will
of course put still greater power in
the hands of the republican party.
One who is familiar with the great
tnancier's views says that it is Mr..
-Morgan's ambition to go down in his
tory as the greatest financial organiz-
er and leader since the days af Alex
ander Hamilton, and that be wishes
to leave his impress not only upon
railways and industrial enterprises
but upon the governments policies
and operations.

TIE Southern Convention.

The Philsdelphis Southern Indus
trial Association, which viii hold a
convention of Southern Business
Men in that city, on the 18th of
June, bids fair to be an important
assemblsge of the leading business
men of the South. The Philadel-
phia North American says Of it:
The idea of meeting outside the
borders of their own section has APP
pealed strongly to the people of the
South.-They appreciate that in
this way they will be given an I'M
usual opportunity to present the ad-
vantage of their States TO a public
that is more or less unfamiliar with
them, and that at the same time they
will acquire better knowledge of
the commercial conditions of Phils-
delphla, with which they desire to
promote closer cooperation.
In the character of the men who
will make up the visiting delegations
the convention will be even mere re-
markable than in their numbers.
From every State will come men
who are distinguished for the promi-
rent part they have taken in public
and business affairs. Official advices
filed at the headquarters of the ex-
ecutive committee given assurance
that every important point in the
South will be fully represented. Texas
as a single instance, announces that
1t will send delegation of $50 mem
bers from all parts of the State. The
reports from communities nearer at
hand are no less enthusiastic.

The Courier's Suggestion 70
harmony.

1t has become apparent that the
bitter contest being wsged by the re-
spective friends and psrtissns of
Messrs. Montague and Swanson can
have but one result-a breach In the
Democratic party. The question,
therefore, presented is, whether or
not the ambition of these two gentle
man shall be grstified at the expense
of division in the party or whether
they shall be asked to abide their
time in patience and let the breach,
now fast being made, be healed be-
fore 1t becomes a gaping sore. Either
Of these gentlemen would make a
most credits5le Governor, but the
election of either will leave behind
sores, which it would take time
possibly long time-to heal up.
We suggest as the nominee of the
Democratic party, Hon j. Taylor
Ellyson of Richmond, man above
reproach, a war horse of democracy
aud slave in its service for the best
years of his life. The people of
Virginia are in sympathy with his
conservatism, his business capacity
and integrity and his excellent ex-
ecutive qualifications. We are aware
that be has retired from the contest.
but we have sufficient confidence in
him to believe that he is always
ready and willing to serve the State
when the demand is made upon him.
We do not mean to disparage in the
slightest degree the claims of any
aspirant for this high office, bus we
do insist that the interests of the
Democratic party, and we mean by
that the true interests of the State of
Virginia, peremptorily demand that
the strife shall cease and the breach
be healed. We believe that TAYLOR
Ellyson will serve the State in her
civil affairs as he did when a mere
boy, in the time of war.
In suggesting Ellyson's name for
the nomination we do so because we
believe him TO be the man who will
be more acceptable as a compromise
candidate to the Montague and
Swanson factions than any other man
who will be equally acceptable to the
whole people. We earnestly hope, if
this bitter strife continues, that the
democratic rank and file will place
the party above the personal am5i-
ton of any one man, if the gratifca-
ton of that ambition may open a
breach in its walls, aud
nominate the only man IN the State
today, who can pilot the party from
the threatening rocks, and that man
is one who has spent lifetime fight
ing for democratic success and never
has been rewarded for his services.
Now is the most opportune time
for the democrats of Virginia to pay
the debt of gratitude they owe Taylor
Ellyson. We hoist his banner to
the breezes and we call upon all
true lovers of peace and harmony in
the democratic ranks to follow under
Its inspiring folds.
