The Jiichmond, b redericksburg and

mined to put on a line ot boats from

no in going nence to tne Worth. This
will throw much of the North and
South travel over the Coast and Kenne
saw routes, which ought to pass via

aristocratic money forcing peonle to do

general liberty. Yoofr State and her
more Southern sisters have a choice as
to lines, but Virginia must put up a
snack that will last a day if she wants
to visit tne capital that might be reach

cause the majority of the stock of the

who can make a few miles of boating

lhe James River Brewery, the larg
est south of Cincinnati, in this city, is
idle. It cost $250,000 and employed
fifty persons. The reason: Want of
capacity of the railway managers of
our State. Your beer-drinkers "swig"
lager from Chicago or Philadelphia.
You can get a lower rate of freight
from those points than from here;
hence we are poor, our institutions
and our factories are bankrupt, our
laborers must go away for work and
bread, and all because we have no men
who seem to know how to keep our
means of deyelopment fully employed.
This fine brewery will fetch about one
fifth of its cost.

of them said : "Charlie, come to me,'
he started to do so, but was roughly

HB Short,
Pres State Dem Con, ;
According to the semi annual circu
lar of R G Dun & Co.'s mercantile
agency, the failures for the first six
months; of the present year show a
large increase. Ine failures for the
first six months of the past four years
exhibit the following figures : Jnrst
six months in 1875,3,563 failures, $76,-
844,246 liabilities, with $21567 average
liabilities; first six months in 1876,
4,600 failures, $108,415,429 Uabilities;
average liabilities fzd.obo; nrst six
months in 1877, 4,74y failures, $ yy.wo,
171 liabilities ; average liabilities $20,
974; first six months in 1878, 5,825
failures, $130,832,766 liabilities ;' aver
age liabilities $22,4o0.
From the above it will be seen that
the failures for the half year just closed
are in number over 25 per cent greater
than in 1877, while the liabilities indi-
- ? - . m .Jsial
cate a percentage oi increase suui
greater. But before accepting these
statistics as a true test ot tne present
condition of business, the circular ur
ges some considerations in mitigation of
an unfavorable conclusion, inese con
siderations are briefly synopsized
as consisting of an unusually open
winter, retarding sales, deliveries ot
produce, and collections; the discus
sion in and out of Congress of financial
measures, and the necessary condition
of uncertainty that resulted; the possi-
bilitv of important changes in the tar
iff : the postponement ot tne date oi
the repeal of the bankrupt law, and
finally, the steady declme in prices of
merchandise, and tne general snrinic-
age of values, which, it is said, have
been more apparent in tne past six
months than ever before, especially
whenever it became necessary to real
ize.
