Fauquier county ling eased herself of paying the Sacred Public Debt by reduc ing the assessment on her blue grans lamia nearly half a million, or Accurate ly $102,311,58. This will Rave her Annu ally In Stuto taxes $2,311,55. Montgomery county contnliiB 217,140 acres of luud a Messed for taxation, near ly a quarter of a million of acres. Her decrease of assessment on these is 27)4 per cent. The Insolvent capitation tux acorns to be on the Increase. The Whiq aaya the number of persona who fulled to pity poll tax from 1871 to 1877 seven years was as followa : 1871, 57,000 '72, 112, 600 '73, 01,500 '74, 04,500 '75, 02, 200 76, C5,400-'77, 72,000. We use round figures. The poll tax disfran chisement did not npply until 1877 iu which there was a loss of 0,00. At last we have the official figures of the census of 1HK0. The population of the U. 8. is 50,152,800, nearly seventeen times as great as a hundred years ago. The "Democrats" of Amherst county have held a meeting unil resolved on a policy for the future. It is to draw the color lino preserve the oll tax jna 1 i fi cation, and adopt the principles of the Itarlxuir Hill, Intensified. The men who ran that meeting have better hind sight than foresight. The House Committee on appropria tion at Washington has agreed on $10, 000 as the amount for the Improvement of New River between mouth of Wilson and mouth of Urcvirbrlcr. Ferd Korer, of Roanoke, lost last Wednesday night $3,000 by an Incendia ry Are. Insurance $500. We announcf! with surprise and regret that the olllce at Henham's, In this coun ty, has been discontinued for want of a Post master. The malls go to Hamilton Institute. U. 8. Senator Frank Hereford, of "W. V. was defeated lust week by I. N. Camilcn, who obtained the caucus nom ination of the Democrats. W. Va. will never have t more ctllclcut Senator than Hereford. Dr. Miller, the faith Dr., has bought A homo at III Lick, and lias bean so suc cessful as king cure all, that he had the cash to pay down for It. "Cleopatra's Needle " The celebrated Kgyptlan obelisk, im properly called Cleopatra's Needle, was ewtinjr Into poslilon and lowered to its IKidarftal In Central Park, New York, last .Satiiriluy week the 22nd day of Janua ry. Tula celebrated stone waserecleil more than 8,500 years ago at the entrance of the Temple of the Sun in Jlellopolls, by Tbotnie III. Two hundred years later Barnes II hud his greatness carved on It iu the curious hieroglyphics that now Attract the Ritzo of Americans. Augustus Cnsar 23 years before Christ, moved It to Alexandria ai d set It up In the Comarlum. The. Cn-sarlum has gone to ruins but the hoary monollntli remains and has left the mournful desolation that fcroods over tho oldest and proudest civ ilization of tho Orient to decorate tho jrrciit mctroisills of the new world.

I E' HI Senator Johnston Answered. from ht blrglm nr.llr.n, ll4. The Rlehmnml Wiuu come to hnnd with A five-column reply to the state inoBts and arguments rViwtor Johu atou on Virginia affairs. Ws regret that we cannot publish It entire. It complete ly demolishes the fulse arithmetic snd (fi feeble rrsonlng turned upon It Mhlcli rost the Virginia llouiboii Heiialor so iniioli time, papvr, ami Ink. At the dlt- cussion progresses, we shall draw from the Winn's maga.iuu of facts, and, made up as they me from the record, they will he found unanswerable. Senator IJIddleherger's interview and statement, which we publi.-h this morn ing, enters largely and carefully into these matters, and we commend it to the careful perusal of all who desire correct iniformiiiiou. lie makes it, clear that the assessments are honest mid nearer by thii iy-livc per cent, to the value es timated 'by the United States for census purposes than Hie the assessments of any other Slate in the Union. The value of Senator Johnston's state ment will be apparent when wo sec, Is stated by Mr. Kiddlebergcr, that in estimating the Keveuues of Virginia he forgot crdid not understand the Heredi ty r staling the cost of their collection, or the delinquencies In the payment of taxes. This exactly accounts for the sum he thought Senator Malione had understated. Again: Senator Johnston thinks fifty cents on the hundred dollars ought now to renli.e as much as forty cents did be fore the war. Iut he failed to recog nize the destruction of over $1.10,0110,0(10 of properly in slaves, or the depreciation of real property, lie also neglected to notice the abolition of the mill tax on railroads, that formerly yielded great revenues; also the In of the State's share of hank dividends. The Finuler Senator cited the receips of IKTO-'HO as proof that the revenues would exceed General Mahoue's estimate. Ordinary fairness would have prompted him to say that of these receipts about f 100,000 vvui from old arrears, forming no part of the current and usual revenues. Tho I'under Bourbons have madly ap pealed to the Kepublleans to keep their honor unstained hv running a straight ticket In Virginia this year, Instead of leaving the main body of itcpubliniii voters free to vote as they would prefer to do for the Itemljuster Liberals. This they urge In behalf of the good name of tho Hepuhlican parly. The old shell-hack, -moss-covered Bourbons are so afraid that our Hadical party will be tainted With repudiation that they can not sleep at nights. But the few tools they use for this business will be unable to stop the mighty rush of the political waters toward a union of liberal voters. The shame of the bogus "Debt-Payers" has been exploded bv Oencral Mabone. Theolllcial reply of' Senator Johwdn'i has been riddled by Biddlcbcrger, and cut into inlnee-meat by the AVuui. The Itcadjustcis have proven their case be fore the world lis honest men, with a clear anil honest purpose, both In Slate and National iill'alis. The Kepublleans of the North cannot but admire their pluck, and trust their patriotism. They can be trusted us neighbors and friends, and with a fair Held against the Bour bons, they will establish law and older hi Virginia, satisfy public creditors, and ho the cnleiing-weil';e In "the solid South." 1 sd. us aid them to this result, ami trust to the future to put all true men into one National t iiuse.

Mabone, of Virginia, to a Tri bune reporter on Friday at the Fifth Av enue Hotel; "but, really, when you ask me with w horn 1 am going lo vote, and for what, 1 cannot tell you, because 1 never vole until 1 get to the polls." "Have you not promised?" iunuired the reporter. "I'romised?

The trulh ot our proposition Is plain to every thoughtful rculer of history. Going hack lo ihe point w here man first Stepped loith, and tracing his history on down lo the present, ne liud a number of men who nave uiuu'ded lor themselves character,, and done work that, will ev er shine, forth upon the ii-cords of the parst, enduring lor ever. Hut here and there unil not lai between do we find others with like chances who have con st) tided a work which has loi,g since been consigned lo the laud of forgetful lies.. We find that where man bus tinn ed his attention toiliat which is noble and true that his work still survives. On the opposite, wheie he has gone against his own Interests and the welfare of his cuumry that his deeds are excluded from memory, or the day of such a fate is rap idly approaching. Man has at. his dis posal power to do something which will add true and never failing lustre to the land w hich gave him hinh. He is, also, pos.a'd id' a power to build upon a foun dation thai will not stand. We find till along the past, and on dow n to the present, examples of each descrip tion. Some have exerted every possible pow er to add lo mail's eoiisfott and re nown. Others who have and are trying al every point on the way to hlat our brightest hopes ;nn to disorganize every union for the purpo.-e of alt'ecling that which is noble and praiseworthy, 1 am sorry that 1 cannot say to-day that our legislative halls are tilled vvilii an assem bly of true patriots. 'Tis true that, we have 1Ii-iii men -men who would die rather than shrink from theirduty. Hut all are not siicli. We have men who, pretending to work In our defence, ami and to Peck alter our Interests, who are selling our grealest. hopes and brightest prospects lor future happiness. The time is l'a-1 coming w hen men can weigh actions in the philosophers scale - the scale of justice. Tho old lillde liiulin "he that ni!c',!i himself is greater than he that t'ikelh a city,' is beginning lo take hold upon the minds el the people, Napoleon placed his a licet ions upon Ku rope.ui wealth, and toward. that goal he ran like it strong man. He, like Alex ander, placed himself up as hi ow n idol ii,'il iv-'ilve.l that, all humanity should bow in humble adoration before him. We need not, wonder nt. the world bury ing the ilfcds of such men. Their object has been to do nothing that will add to man's comfort either here or in ihe great hi reafter. Their deeds only make shine wi;h a In ighlcr hue the actions of true men. Such men h ive losi sight, of the great object of life. Had Alexander wished lor himself.
