PORTER REPUDIATED.-AW washington let
ter to the Baltimore Sun says:
Intelligence from Virginia leads to the
belief that the anti-Porter Republicans will
give their adherence to the Conservative
candidate. The feeling is intense among
Republicans here holding positions of re.
spons,bility against the man9uvres Of that
class of partisans in the south who are at.
tempting to organize black mans party
there. Letters are received from southern
Republicans asserting that the character
and intentions Of parties attempting to use
the colored population for their own per-
sonal preferment, without any regard to the
real benefit of the race whatever, is becom-
| ing we'll understood by the colored people,
and in addition to the disadvantages which
must result to the Republican party of the
South in depriving it of the votes of thou.
| sands of that class, this course is bringing
| 1t into merlted dlsrepute among respectable
| politicians, large numbers of whom are
being driven out of the organization in Sc.

lne notes, but the engraving of the Wig
nette, as well as that representing the bap-
tism of Pocahontas, on the back of the note,
is very coarsely done, and would not de-
ceive on an ordinarily careful scrutiny.
