(Ffott* the Denver Tribune J
Jackson was h youngt lawyer. He
was ca i,l|» way from Teubt-Sbee to
some toWn in Jiouiacky to tittentl
court. He was passing through what
is now either Warren or Barren coUuty
In the Green JUvet cOUnWy, whiuh was
knnfcliQg'over it. He repeated his
footsteps as soon as poa&ible, but not
too Boon for the quick eye of the old
•aoMfer to see him. Afterward hn spoke
to him about the matter, and said that
fbe act In Which he (Hopkins) hai) be*
hejd him was bo uncommon one.
Every morning, be said, be Went to the
grave, for he thought that the proper
place lor him to conduct fils religious
devotion was by the remains of his
wife, who had been eo dear to him,
and who bad so great and so abiding
a faith in the graciousness of tbeliuler
of the Universe.
ftt-andfitlher'a Btot-y.
After I graduated from college tay
parents wantefl me to be a doctor or a
lawyeh They left the matter to me,
however, and I chose to introduce Into
society a patent squirt cun, cockroach
abd bedbug poison combined. The
Combined squirt can, cockroach and
bedbug poison, of which I was thesole
agent, was an excellent article for the
household, but it required pushing. 1
neVer allowed myself to be put off with
a servant’s ruse. I sooh h arned that
success depended on getting into the
house and making a short but eloquent
speech on the merits of the article di
rect to the family. In those days, as
now, servants Were Instructed to admit
no pedlors. This did not trouble me
much, but it gave me some additional
work, As r for instance 1
When a servant would come to open
the door in answer tor~my rings yoar
grandfathey would be on the alert, and
os soon as it was opened enough to ad
mit my,artn, your grand'ather would
reach in,seise the servant by the throat
and drag her out upon the stoop.
There I would explain matters to the
gentle gatelie. I would tell her I was
an officer of the government, armed to
what could be thb cause tor so utter a
collapse, and it is gratefuP to us that
the Baltimore Gazette should come to
the rescue and show to the world Un<
der what a mighty load the State has
been staggering. The Gatette does
not conceal from View that the cry of
"RepudIatl6n’ , among Some classes of
Virginians has been partially thecanse
of this disaster) but the crowning
causes of all are the great wrongs in
flicted by the Federal Government
since the War. We are told specifically
that while West Virginia Was cat off
from her the debts of the whole Were
left upon Old Virginia. The State was
desolated by the war, her barns and
fencee destroyed, her forests chtdowot

On last Thursday night or Friday
morning, the 15th ineb, about two
o’clock, John Daniels, colored, shot
and dangerously wounded Isaac Wil

lows ; John Daniels, sb honest hard
working cojon&d man, had frequently
missed corn, and from signs about
bis place had reasons to believe his
com house was being robbed, so he
determined if possible to catch the
thief, and on Tuesday night he Went
Into his eotn house to Watch, and had
the door locked outside with two
Urge heavy locks, and oh the third
night he beard some one picking

tive powers ate not so great Bat in
addition to oil these disadvantages,
Federal legislation has laid upon it a
heavy burden. Virginia contributes
more than twice as much to the inter
nal revenue as all the New England
States put together. In 187?, Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu
setts, Connecticut and Rhode Island,
In the aggregate, paid on internal rev
enue taxation t!M,928,023, while Vir
ginia alone paid $7,932,221. This
heavy tax is laid chiefly bn tobacco,
which is the only great crop that the
State can count upon as a source of
wealth. While Massachusetts, wfth a
population of 1,457,351, pays $2,908,-
787 of internal revenue, Virginia, with
a population of 1,225,520, pays nearly
$8,000,000. Since the war she has paid
in internal revenue alone, chiefly on
tobacco, over $60,000,000, enough to
pay the whole debt of the State twice
over.
This 4s the darkest side. Tho Baltl>
more paper is of opinion that even out
of the abyss of depression may come
renewed prosperity, and concludes as
follows l "It may be good fortune, In
the end, that it can no longer borrow
money on tho credit of the State ; It
may be a good fortune that poverty

The triumphs of truth are the most

most bloodies* of all victories, deriving
their highest lustre from the Dumber

thing to be done, if the Republican
party is to bfi restored to life; is to stop
this din that falls upon the eat of the
