These gentlemen are fair type OF the military,
political and social leaders Of the South Tney repre-
sent the past and the present, the living and the
dead, old fogysm and progression. They are all, or
nearly all, men Of high character and their testimony
is beyond dispute candid and truthful Their pre-
sence at the White Sulphur Ia known to have been
mainly accidental, though some were drawn there
by the negotiations relative to the organization OF
the chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company and the
placing on the market of $4,000, 900 OF bonds to
complete the work to the Ohio river. General Rose.
Grams was the only one who went to White Sulphur
on political business
The general opinion Of the Southern leaders at the
White Sulphur was that Seymour would certainly be
elected, and they anticipate from this re-
suit a new era Of peace and prosperity
Tor their country, good relations with the freed
men, the resumption OF local political power and
control OF taxation by the white race and an influx
OF Northern capital and emigration into the South
which shall assure striking development OF the
now dormant industrial resources OF the South.
In case OF Grants election they anticipate nothing
but continued disorder and anarchy unless by posi-
bility General Grant shall shake Off the influence Of
the Jacobn leaders, which they fear he will not do.
In the matter OF the campaign the Southerners
think 1t unwise for them to take prominent part.
They do not assail Grants personal character and
you never hear word from one OF them in respect
to Grants drunkenness or the like charges. They
do not even discuss his military fame and character
and they say that the real issues before the country
OF taxation and expenses of government and the
revival OF industry, which ought not to be thrust
aside by mere personal assaults upon candidates.
They say the South can never be pached under
negro suffrage supremacy, and are anxious to have
State governments similar to those OF Ohio and
Pennsylvania, under which order and peace will be
assured for all.
