nistration have been extravagant and
largely in excess Of any previous admi-
nistration.
But this is not NIL. General Connor
conclusively proves that Mr.. Chamber
lain's figures are grossly inaccurate. On
this point the details are so numerous
that we must refer our readers to Gene.
ral Connor's speech, which we presume
will be freely circulated by the Executive
Committee Of the Reform Party. Enough
FOR us to say, that appealing to records
and stating the matter clearly and fairly,
General Connor shows that Mr.. Cham
berlain's exhibit is full Of numerous and
serious mis-statements, and shows fur
ther, that the accounts of the State with
Mr.. Kimpton are suggestive of looseness
and gross frauds. General Connor's
speech goes to show that the State is in
ruinous hands; causes to stand out in
bold relief tho sublime impudcuce of
the assertion that the administration of
Governor Scott has been economical,
wise and honest"

RADICAL STATE CONVENTION.

In another column we lay before our readers
letter which we find in the Wheeling Reg
lister relative to the Black and Tan Conven-
ton which met at Parkersburg on the I'D
inst. The account of its proceedings speaks
for itself without the necessity of extended
comment. Tom Swami, ga rebel who would
not fight, and a radical who can't vote" as he
pointedly described, turned the Convention
into riotous mob by the choice language he
used. Fhe more respectable speakers refused
to follow this individual. In the afternoon
the speaking was resumed, aud the old ticket
renominated. The spirit which prevailed was
one of prescription and hatred. No "rebeP
was to be restored to citizenship and the suf-
frage who did not apply for such restoration
by confession of Radical faith. Negroes
were to be protected in every right; white
men who differ in politics from the sapient
representatives of West Virginia Radiealsm
to be debarred every right and kept in subjec-
ton forever. Let us see how the people will
receive this policy. A crushing defeat is all
that will silence this miserable revolutionary
gang. We confidently expect that they will
sustain it.

HIGH-PRIEST RIDENOUR!

Samuel Ridenour Esq, Radical High. Priest
of the shephcrdstown Mixed Convention, and
late minister plenipotentiary to the Parkers-
burg Pow-Wow, has creased the wires and
expects to slide into the Sheriffalty of Jeffer-
son county on the backs of the newly enfran-
chised 18th Amendments of this county: But
let US congratulate him that he will not only
be defeated, but that he has already lost the
last spark of confidence and respect of every
,cAite man of this community. The Conserv-
alive party of this county mean to see that
the 10Th and goth sections of the Enforce
ment Bill shall be enforced, and legal voters
enjoy their rights under the law.

Interesting Correspondence.
OFFICE ROANOKE TIMES,
Salem, Roanoke county, Va,


June 5th, 1870.
Hon p. B. Bross Pres. Shenandoah Falley
Raizroad Company.
DEAR SIR:-Excuse me for troubling you
with this letter of inquiry. wish to have
definite replies to the following interrogatories
Has the road Of which you are President,
the S. v. R R., the ability to complete the
road? =.
Do.you desire local aid, OF county public
subscription -,
Will Salem be the terminus of the road
Will the road be built in the event of the
other Valley Il. r. being built, or is there
any contingency in which your road would
be abandoned in favor of any other road
Will you use the track of the Valley Road
after leaving Stanton, in the event that IL
be built before yours2
Please to excuse the trouble to which am
putting you by these questions, but, as we are
called on for subscription to the Valley Road
and have voted one, which vote will have to
be re taken, definite answer will do much
to aid me in taking such stand on the ques-
ton as my conscience may approve. Many
suppose your road to be intended merely to
open communication with the Page Valley,
and that it will probably be- built from Har-
per's Ferry to Staunton.
An Immediately reply will oblige
Yours, Very Respectfully,
W. E. HUBERT,
Editor Roanoke Times.

work. The Assistant Chief Engineer, Mr.
George Barrett, an accomplished gentleman
in his profession, and of extensive experience,
is now preparing his map, profile and estimates
of the road, and will have them finished in q
few days; and then so soon as the right of
way and moderate subscriptions are obtained,
the entire road will be placed under contract.
All these things we hope to accomplish in
sixty days time. and push the road to speedy
completion, within two years and half, the
time allowed for the completion of the Chess
apeake and Ohio road to the Ohio river.
sincerely hope my reply to your inquiries
may prove satisfactory to you, and to the peo-
pie of Roanoke county, and induce you to
take an intelligent and active part in forward
ing our enterprise. Your people may put
entire confidence in the fairness and truthful
ness of all of my representations. I have no
inducement to deceive any one in relation to
our road and prospects consider it placed
upon firm foundation, and our ability to
make and complete it in the manner and time
designated in this letter is unquestionable.-
Our enterprise has been judged on its own
merits and has secured the appreciation ofour
people on this end of the line, and the conf
dence of the best railroad minds and capitalists
of the country. am, Sir,
Very Respectfully,
Your Ob't. Serv't..

THE GOVERNORS New GAME.-We have
it on excellent Radical authority that Gov
ernor Stevenson intends in his appointment of
Registrars to select men who will decline to
act in consequence of the dangerous provisions
of the act to enforce the Fifteenth Amend
ment. Thus, there will be no new registra-
ton made this summer, and the election will
be held next fall upon the old registration.
Let him try this little game, and he will be
taught one worth two of it, before he gets
through.
Turn which way they will, defeat stares the
Radical leaders in the face. They are pre-
pared to attempt any game, however des>
perate, that promises the least chance of re-
tanning the power in their hands for another
short season. Wheeling Register.

SHENANDOAH VALLEY R. R.

From the interesting statement of COL Z.
i. Borst, the faithful and energetic President
of the Shenandoah Valley Railroad Company,
published in another column, it will be seen
that our railroad has not only the most flatter-
ing prospects, but that its success is beyond
doubt. Let tho people of Clarke, Warren,
Rockingham, Augusta, Rock bridge and Ro-
auoke, come boldly to the front, vote free
right of way and liberal subscriptions to the
enterprise, and thus give substantial evidence
pressive monepolies, and hasten the compile
ton of an improvement that will usher in a
new era upon our beautiful Valley, and bid
the hidden wealth of our mountains, spring
forth as by magic touch
An article in the last Luray Courier, on
this subject concludes as follows -
We understand that at no distant day it is
in the contemplation of the President and
Directors and Chief Engineer of the Com
pany, Gen. Wright, and other officers to pass
over aud view the whole line. We congrat>
ulate the friends of the road everywhere upon
its bright prospects. All that is now wanted
to crown complete and early success, is a
liberal right of way and moderate home sub
scriptions, and for the purposes indicated in
MIR. Borst's letter. This latter suggestion is
a most important one for consideration. Let
not the people forget the necessity of a liberal
right of way, if they desire speedy construc-
ton of this road. 1t is to their interest and
profit to give it. Every foot given will return
a hundred fold. This is certain.

SECOND DISPATCH.

PARKERsBURG, June ga big muss
took place in the First District Congressional
Convention. Duval was dropped on the Sec
ond ballot Harris was nominated on that
ballot, but before the announcement COTS
friends induced some charges that brought
from Harris the charge of swindling. He
withdrew his name and declared himself a
candidate. He charged Bill Hubbard and
other friends of Golf with the use of unfair
means, patent to every one. Hubbard re-
torted and Golf answered.
The words swindling, chisselIing, falsehood
aud fraud were banded about very freely
For two hours the Convention was a pande-
monium. Screams, threats, curses and howls
made the place hideous. Finally Harris con-
sented to use the ballot. COTS money>bags
triumphed and the EatelKgeneer clique won.
All decent Republicans arc disguised with
the proceedings, and hundreds declare that
nothing but defeat awaits them.
