The Fremont Electoral Ticket in Virginia
"A Roorback Letter from one of the
Electors-NO Such Ticket - Another Lie
Nailed.

The following letter, received by this morn
ing's mail, came very opportunely, as the
| Tribune of yesterday published the Virginia
bogus electoral ticket as genuine:
KlNGwooD, Preston Co., Va, Sept Is.
Editor Doy Book:
There is a talsehood circulated through
Fremont, Fillmore az Co.'S papers, which |
desire to notice. very briefly, through the
columns of your paper. tits this-"that
there is Fremont Electoral ticket in Vir-
gnia' | notice it because myself and twelve
other Democrats are named as the electors
on that ticket. We, in Virginia, of course
understand it as it was intended as bur
lesque. But, it may not be so understood at
the North; therefore, wish to put a quie-
tus to so arrant a humbug. Now sir,
happen to know all the gentlemen named as
the Virginia Black Republican electors, and
there is not man among them but will vote
for Buchanan and Breckenridge, if he lives
till November. | therefore pronounce the
whole thing an unblushng, unmitgated
talsehood Southern Know Nothings would
do well to change their tactics, As they have
tried lies and trickcry, and "veriIy it has prof
ted them nothing"
perhaps, would have allowed this Know
Nothing "bugbear" to pass unnoticed, but
for the fact that some ''three- e-cent" Fillmore
journalists in Virginia. are trembling in their
boots, in awful suspense, to hear whether the
Fremont Virginia Electors will accept the
appointment! May their perturbed spirits
at last find rest Pardon me for the Liber
ty have taken in addressing this note to
you.
In haste yours trul Y,

POIITICAL HARANGuE From THE PULPIT
cheering and Kissing IN Chuvch,-The fol-
lowing is from the Bath (Ie) Tribune, an hle
and reliable Wing paper Let every true friend
Of pure Christianity read it:
A gentleman Of this city who is regular at
tcndant at the Baptist church on Elm street had
been solemuly assured that the sermon announ-
ced for the evenings services at the church on
Sunday last was not to be political hardngue.
DESTROYS not to condemn any man unheard, and
thinking doubtless that his right to hear the Cos
pei, and the Gospel emily from his own and his
iamilys sacred desk would not be disregarded
he concluded not to depart from his usual GUS
tom of Sunday evening and went to the
house Of worship. What his surprise to hear
instead of q sermon Of love and peace, dcnuncia
tor and eycitug harangue upon the partisan
movements Of the day When he found how he
had been by fraud seduced into a Fremont and
Iamlin Sabbath caucus--and when he had listen q.
ed to what he deemed to be the revolutionary
and unpatriotic 'stumping' of the Rev. Mr..
Studley, till his patience knew no bounds, he very
quietly took his hat and rose to leave the church;
and then he was erected by DISTINGUISHING
IN THE ABODE OF THE LIVING GOD!
IL is reported also that the speaker on that oc-
cason was several timcs interrupted by the APP
plause Of the audicncc-by aNah(e stamping Of
feet
And to this degradation must we expect the
pulpit to descend long as it is made mere cau-
cas- b0I, from which to tulminatc partisan denun-
Citations. Ii a minister delivers a caucus speech,
why should no the audience hisS or cheer, as their
feelings dictate!

RrssrA a GHEex on EssLAND.-In the Cor
,respondence Of Henry Clay, recently published,
is aletter from james Madison to Mr., Clay, under
the date Of Octoberso, 1916, which shows that,
before there was any apprehension of an Anglo
Russian war, or any expectation ola Anglo
French offensive and defensive alliance, it was
the opinion of some ofour leading statesmen that
good understanding should be cultivated with
the Gar, as check upon England. Mr.. SIadi-
son says:
Since the overthrow of France, Russia has ac-
quired the highest degree OfpOlitical Importance
in relation to these States. As a great power,
friendly to Liberal system of neutralrights, and
withwhose dominions our commerce had become
considerable she held, before that event, distin-
guished rank, but by it her weight in the general
scale has been much augmented. Russia forms,
in effect, at this time thepriucipal click on the
overgrownpower of England, on which account,
and many others, it is immensely the interest of
these States to cultivate good understanding
With her sovereign.
