0?M SB A 27 Fouriaant* ttrtti 7S.XW St C Jl 24. & BILL rauuun m nonaaom. TUESDAY. A PHIL 9, 1878. Tac Randolph County EnUrprm pub lishes an article to show the reaourcea of that coanty in the way of Inducement* to emigrant* from other lUtei. Thli is all well enough if the Enterprise will only Uke some pains to get the facta before the proper partiea in other atatea, aa, for instance, Mr. A. W. Bell, of the Bell & Porter Locomotive Works, Pittsburgh, Peno'a, who baa inter* eated himself in the Boston acheme for settling worth/ persona aa colonist* on large bodies of land. Oar Weat Virginia countiea in the interior that are so much needing immigration, must use more en ergy to make themselves known. Up to this time they have reallj done nothing but talk about their advantages. Mere talk at home will do very little to gain the ear of the public. The large land holdern must nse every effort, as land holdera in other Statea are doing, to in* dace the tide of emigration to turn in j this direction. OUB WETZKLCOBBEdl'ON OLXtK The Cases ot Geo. Wallace and Geo. Vlllera. N*w Mabtinsvilut, WeUel Co. I i April 8th 1878./ Editors Intelllftnear. On laat Friday the 5th Inst the spring term of our Circuit Court commenced here, Judge A. B. Fleming presiding. This gentleman is the successor of Judge C. 8. Lewis, deceased, by the appointment of Gov. Matthews, and at the lime of his appointment was a member of the Marion county bar: reeldeaceMt Fairmont in this Judicial Circuit. Oar new Judge was well received here both bjr our resident bar and our people, and is up to the pres ent gaining in the confidence and esteem of us alL Although young in yeara he takes up the business of the court like an old hand, and is disposing of our large docket greatly to the satisfaction of liti gants and their attorney's. The grand jury haa been sitting since laat Friday and haa reported some forty-nine indict ments?mostly for infractions of the revenue laws of our State. I believe there are some offenses of a more serious nature, one of which ia an indictment against one of our Justicea for perjury. There has been nothing done as yet in the George Wallace case. He is still in your jail in Ohio county, not hav ing been brought down here. There are no witnesses against bim and no evidence can be produced so far as is now known that will implicate him in the killing of his wife and child and Miss Church by his brother, John W/llace. The case of George Villers is not spoken of; it is the general belief here that he knew nothing of John Wallace's acts or intentions on the night of the murder. If our grand jary take no action in George Wallace's j oaae at the present term he will have to lie in jail until the October term. This should not be the case. If he is guilty he should be indicted and punished, and if not he should be released. There sure ly can be no necessity or sense in keeping him in jail six months only to be dis charged from custody at the expiration of that time. As to the lynchers of John Wallace? who they were or where they came from? nothing is known. That is one of the se cret* that even Grand Juries cannot find oat. Nothing has been reported by our Grand Jury a* yet, nor do I think there will be. John Wallace has gone to his long resting place by the hand of violence, and although as a people we deprecate theact,4iis was a richly deserved fate, and if we are called a "barbarous and halt civilised people living in log cabins in mountain fastnesses," John Wallace's fate is a warning to red-handed murder era that this county la no safe harbor for tliem; no chance here for them to escape through the mealies of the law. Our grand jury have found an indict* ment at this term against Jackson Key* nolda aa principal in the murder of old man Starkey last March one year ago. "Jack" had better give us a wide berth, or this will be a hot climate for him yet. Business matters are looking up here. The country roads are drying and farm ers are coming in to lay in their supplies lor the spring and summer, which gives oar storekeepers more work and more money. Our mills and other industrial interests are in a fairly thrifty condition, and we have less cau*e to complain of hard timea than any other small town along tbia part of the upper Ohio. Should anything occur of interest in our court proceedings, or otherwise, you will hear from me again. W. Downward Tendency ol UenU N. Y. Tribune. The downward tendency of rent* in New York has been steady aince 1873. 6tore property was fi?t atrected by the commercial inactivity following the panic. The atruggle (or cheaper rent, apparently not yet at an end, has not been of vital in terest to the tenant only; ranch property in this city has been rendered next to un productive by the necessity of continued reduction. The large amount of down town property owned by the Lorillard estate furnishes an instance. The reduct ions from year to year have reached 40 per cent of the rent obtained in 1873, and the three years' leases expiring this Spring, cannot be renewed, as a rule, at the old rates. At the office of the Astor estate it was stated, yesterday, that leases are renewed this year at reduced figures. The estate embraces no tenement prop erly at all, its interest in this class of real estate being confined to ground rents or long leases, none of which expire at pre* *nt. The bulk of the estate is either in storea or dwelling property of the better clans. The mnuager was unwilling to make any detailed statement. "The im pression," he said, "that Mr. Astor is re ducing rents of his own accord is errone ous. Like all others, he is trying to do for himself the best he can. Having rent* to sell it is to his interest to make the best terms portable under the circumstan ced witb tenants who oannot pay the old rates. The reduction since 1873 foots up for storo property about one-half. In other words we get CO per cent less than we did before thatyesrf except where the leases are still ruutung. On dwelling houses occupied by a modest class of peo ple, ranging next above tenement*. it has not been quite so heavy, while on the best class of private dwellings the reduction has averaged not over 35 per cent for the five years. It is noteworthy, however, that it has been less this year than at any time since the panic." f GaNtilngDoetorn. Gertrude In IndltnapalU HmM. Hot 8Priho8, Ark, March 10.?The doctors are a particularly formidable part of the Dopulalionhere. They swarm. Their shingles disturb the atmosphere in one almost unbroken line in the business part of the town. Some of them are great gushers, particularly when they prescribe for patients of the gentle and more irritable lex. The "gushers" ad dress ladies whom they have never seen before ae "my dear," ''my dear little suf?' ferer," "m v nervous baby" and "my darl ing," administering meanwhile a variety I of endearing little pats and caresses and | finally winding up with a gratuitous kias or so. It is needless to say that among persons who prefer dignity and decorum * to disagreeable donkeyiam the "gushera"> do not take high rank, but they rake in money a* easily as Maud Mulfer raked the hay. Letter from a Wheeling Boy Attending the Albany Law ScbooL Aibajht, JT. Y., April 4, 1878. ?U ton Intelligtnoer: Americana. being bo accuatomed to pnim their im institutions, are both to believe that any vestige of aristocratic Sitem exists in thie country. Because e colonies were primitive, and oar gov ernmeut ie a democracy, we are led to think that the degrading principle of catu never gained foothold on oar aaiL Possessed with this idea I was surprised to find at the capital o( the Empire State, the relics of almoet as perfect a feudal system as ever existed in the middle ages. A brief sketch of what this was and its remains nj?v not be uninteresting. About 1680 (twenty-one years after the discover/ of the Hudson) one Killian Van Bensellaer obtained from the Btaats General of Holland, a charter of land extending twenty-four miles along the Hudson, and twenty-four miles back from either side thereof, of which terri tory Albany, then Fort Orange, is the geographical centre. He also bought the same laud from the Indians. When Eng land obtained possession of the New Netherlands this title was confirmed by special charter and still later it was de clared valid by the Legislature of New i York, In 1640 Mr. Van Rensellaer sent over a colony, the members of which set | tied as tenants on his "manor." He was j their lord, "patroon," and they were his vaseals. They took an oath of fealty to him and he promised them protection. They accepted deeds upon such condi tions as, "an annual rental of, a days ser vice, four fat fowl, and three skeppela" (about one bushel) "of wheat to every nine acree, and also one-fourth of the purchase money upon each re-sale, is to be reserved to the patron, his hiers and assigns forever." What is remarkable, by far the larger part of this territory remained under the control of this family j until 1849, when occurred the death of I Stephen Van Rensellaer, the last and wealthiest of the "patrons." He left one half of the manor,?Bensellaer county, on the east side of the Hudson?to a son William, from whom it passed into other hands. The portion on this side of the ri?er?Albany county?was given to a son Stephen. This Stephen died in 1868, leaving six children, ail but one of whom are femalee. The son, Eugene Van Ben sellaer, lives at Berkeley Spring, West Virginia. The estate is managed by a superintendent for the benefit of these six hiers, The reservation of one-fourth of the purchase money upon successive sales was long ago declared contrary to the spirit of our laws, but the annual rental is still collected from a large num ber of the farmers of this countv. In 1844 transpired what waa known aa the "rent war." The tenants banded to gether to resist the payment of the rent, and several officers attempting to aell on executions were killed. The courts de cided that the Van Kensellaers were en titled to the reserved rent, and now it is collected without difficulty. The tenants obtain releases from this rent, by paying a sum, of which the value of the annual rental is the interest at six percent. There are three or four Van Rensellaer houses. One of these it is claimed was built as early as 1645. Ita portholes bear testintfny to its age. But the principal "manor house" was built in 1765. i This is a large mansion, situated in a littlo grove of stately elms on the west I bank of the Hudson. Its main hall is | fifty feet long by twenty-seven feet wide, and the rooms are of corresponding di* mensions. Most of the furniture waa brought over from Holland and is very fine, though, of course, out of date. The carving ou one bedroom set is especially elaborate, The attic is stored with curi osities. Indeed th?? whole house would | be a treat for an antiquarian. But particularly interesting to me were the deeds, charters, records. Ac., which the very courteous and obliging Superio-'i tendent volunteered to show me. The variety of the forms and contents of the deeds to Indians and settlers was curious and entertaining. I saw deeds that were real "indentures," and I was presented with a piece of the Great Seal attached to the charter of Queen Anne, which I esteem as quite a souvenir. 1 The "manor house," which has not been occupied for nearly three years, will probably be torn down and the land oold lor manufacturing purposes. ;B. 8. Allison. society* Different Code* ol litliicm lor men and Women. From tho N. Y. Oraphtc, Mrs. A. T. Stewart in carrying out the design of her husband and opening the I "Woman's hotel" has already done one service, in agitating from a now stand point the social disabilities of women. It is a curious feature in modern civilisation that there should be a need and demand I for a "Woman's hotel." It is a curious feature that it is'a matter of difficulty for any respectable woman, if unattended by father, brother, or hueband, to obtain accommodatidn in any respectable "Man's hotel." It is another curious feature that even respectable places of amusement in the evening are more or less barred against the entrance of ladies unattended by gentlemen. If thosp who cavil at the stringency of some of the regulations of the woman's hotel were themselves to study the contin I gencies and results involved in maintain ing the respectability and good standing of a house colony oi 500 single women, they would soon discover it to be a prob lem very difficult to work out. The laws governing the respectability of men and I women are verv different. A man may stay out at night as long as he pleases; a1 woman cannot, and remain in good stand-1 I ing. A man may drink at a bar. Bars i are not respectable for women, but a dim tradition still exiata that men at bars1 comfort themselves in a manner not suit-1 able for ladies, society. If a gentleman should be brought very drunk to hia hotel l* j in morn'nK B?d be quietly put to bed, he might arise the next morning, brace himself up with brandy and Boda, and walk the halls still evry inch a man, providing bis appearnnce was creditable, his credit unahaken, and the irregularity only of exceptional occurrence. If a lady were brought to her hotel drunk at - a, sr. and requiring the servant's assis tance in getting up atairs, the proprietor would probably wait upon her in the The trouble is that io our social regula tion* what ia sauce for the gander is not sauce for the goose. Propriety ha* two Render*?a musculine and a feminine. Woman's privileges being restricted, her hotel regulations roost be restricted also. 8ociety has made these law?; for the pre* sent they cannot be changed; for the pre? sent they are immutable and must be oonformed to. Put 600 girls and women in a hotel and the least dereliction, real or fancied, on the part of one reflects not only on all the rest, but on the establish ment. One black sheep may give it a bad name. Put 600 men in a hotel and a score of respectably black sheen will not seriously endanger the reputation of the rest or of the establishment. Mrs. 8tew art has done society a good .service by showing up an old truth in a new light. Forces at EoRland*M Command. Regarding the forces which England may call into requialtion, Sir Qarnet Wolseley makes an interesting statement: "At no previous period," he says,1 of our history have we ever been so strong, in a military sense, as at present. Io 1864 we were very weak in field artillery; the military force in these Islands was under 70,000 men, and there was no reserve whatever beyond some pensioners, who were too old for field service. Were war declared tomorrow, about 400,000 drilled men would fall into line if required, sup* bseood'CLsi auaj nmm., Total* QUININE AND MORPHIA. Urent Advance la PricM Owing to ike WarProipMli, as Adrian from the east for the put few daya have shown that an immense ad vance-in the prices of qoinine and mor phia haa taken place owing to the proa pec ta of war in Europe, and that there waa a poaaibilitj of ao great a scarcity of thoae articlea aa to make it impossible to fur nish them at any prioe. Quinine is made in bat limited quantities in thiaoountry, one firm, a Philadelphia house, furnish ing the greater portion of that manofact ared here, and their capacity ia limited to the amount of opinm and cinchona bark thatconld be obtained from abroad, tihould thia be gobbled up bj the agent of the governments for the use of their | armies,there would ensue a great scarcity. The firm in question have addressed cir cnlara to the drug trade, which have caused considerable excitement in conse quence. Our readers will remember that a similar panic waa occasioned last spring on the receipt of the news of the declara tion of war between Boasia and Turkey. At that time it was predicted that there would be a famine of thoae articles, but it proved to be only a speculative movement In tbe market, and in a few months they had dropped to their former prices. It may be that the present movement is one of a similar character, as the manufact ure being confined to a few houses is eas ily manipulated, and^the prospect of war made the excuse for a corner in the mar ket. At all events quinine, which a few daya ago waa selling at $2.90 per ounce, ia now worth $5.50 per ounce and rapid ly advancing. Opium and morphia had also advanced from 20 to 30 per cent., with a scarcity in the market. The stock oi these articlea on hand is always small, aa they so constantly fluctuate in prices that dealers do not care to keep a large quantity. Sulphate of cinchonidia ia of late years coming into use aa a substitute for quinine, on account of its less cost. It | has the same medical properties, but as it is also a product of cinchona bark it, too, will advance when bark becomes scarce, as it will if a great demand for It is made by tbe governments having arm iea in thefiqld. IT SUSTAINS ITS It IMPUTATION. For nearly a quartet of a century it has been acknowledged that Dr. Wage's Catarrh Remedy has ne equal in speedily and per manently curing "cold in the head" and all catarrhal affections of the nasal cavities. Iti immense sale and great popularity are dependent upon and entirely due to its merits nnd superiority over all other simi lar preparations. Very many physicians, having thoroughly tested it, are now pre scribing it in their praotice. EA L B UR TOtf.Ont.. January ltf, 1877. Dr R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y: Dtar Sir?For years I suflered with chronic catarrh. Last winter it beoatne more severe, seriooaly affecting my throat nnd luncs. My stomach and blood were also sadly ont of order. I tried many physicians and seven! advertised remedies, obtaining but temporary or no relief. My general health became worse, so that I de spaired of life. Seeing favorable notices of your medicines, I procured one-half dozen bottles of the Golden Medical Dis covery and a supply of Or. Snges's Catarrh Remedy. The Discovery purified my blood and restored my general health, tbe Catarrh Remedy gave immediate relief, and after a little perseverance a radical cure was ef fected.
