Mn. EplroR 81 see an article in your
paper Of March | ilh, concerning Meth
odist class meeting, held in the school
house ut Townsend, in which the author
has freely used my name, therefore | wish
u space in your paper to correct his mis-
statements. In the first place there was
no 'constcrnation" on the entrance Of the
colored lady, nor did any white lady leave
the meeting until it closed. There was no
excitement on account Of ebony" being
there; on the contrary all present seemed
to desire to hear her speak. and as she
was invited by Democrat member Of the
meeting, could could see no impropriety
in giving her the privilege Of speaking.
Now, as he has taken this meeting under
his supervision, | wish him to come Out
openly and fairly and tell us what would
be right in such eases; what one Of hi.
rights has been infringcd upon by the
good old colorcd woman, who has been ,
faithful christian and pcaceablc resident o
this community for more than thirty years
Let us hear from him openly, and not b,
writing anonymous articles for publica
ton, which | consider much worse tha,
sitting with Hannah Roddle IL her skin i
black. II he never does any worse nc
than sitting in meeting with the old lad,
in question, his character will bccom
much better than il now is. Az 10 my
self. l would prefer sitting in q religion
meeting with a christian " ebony in tn
midst to having his company anywhere.

SEPARATING THE ELgcrloSs.-In view
Of tho new enforcement act Of Congress.
with It's npmerous pains and penalties,
nearly all the leading Virginia journals arc
urging that State law shall be passed to
scperatc the congressional elections from

held at time when no State elections arc
to occur. Il is probably that this will be
done not only in Virginia, but among the
States generally. as the oply means Of u

Kentucky elects Governor and State

AAOHtuChs CiSCeo d oOFtEuOT Auu Otate
officers on Monday, August 7. P. FL.
Leslie is the Democratic candidate fol
Governor, and Gen. j. NJ. Harlan has
been nominated by the Republicans.
They are making very thorough aud
spirited canvass of the state,- and it is
expected that very large vote will be
polled. At the Presidential election In
1868, the Democratic majority was 76,-
672, iu a total of l47, 704. A year ago,
although the negroes then voted for the
first time, the whole vote was only l46,
206, and the democratic majority was
81, ,6S4, indicating that many thousands
of whites must have neglected the vote.
The Republicans have more effective
organization now, and feel confident that
they will greatly reduce the majority of
their opponants; and some are even san
guine enough to believe it may be entir-
ly overcome.
The national deN was reduced over
seven million dollars during the month
Of June, and still few Democratic croa-
kers find fault with the administration.
At the present rate of reducing the debt
1t will not be many years before it is all
paid. What is the use Of talking of re-
pudlation when our national Indebtedness
is being SO rapidly settled up?

STATE OFFICERS

The following from the Estate Gazet-
te" expresses our views on the approach
ing election better than We can write
them ourselves:
''As the time draws near for the NOM
ination of State officers it is quite natur-
al that the interest In the subject should
increase-and also that there should be a
lively expression Of that interest. But
one proposition should be clearly under
stood in advance While there have
been mentioned for Governor the names
of several gentlemen who are in every
respect qualified, not one has been named
who has any claims on that Office. 1t
belongs to the people, alone, to select
public servants, and public Offices are
open to the aspiration of every citizen.
While, then, there is a clear field for all
comers there is very little sense in the
queru lousness of certain newspapers, ar
rogating the exclusive right of naming
candidates, and having named their can
didates of abusing or ridiculing everyone
who fails to see the matter in the same
light;or of Sir Forcible Feeble politicians,
who announce in advance who will be
nominees, and scowl upon all who ques-
llOn IuelI pfctcuiloDS- IL Is ,tucTelOGe,
perfectly fair and entirely in order for
every newspaper, politician or citizen tax
ing an interest in the matter to state
their preferences, frankly and freely.
Believing, then, in this inalienable
right as Que Of the belongings of life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, -
the next thing in order is to exercise IL;
and, not let the destinies of this State
hang longer by thread, or leave the rea-
der mind in maze Of awful suspense,
we proceed to divulge the important
State secret that the Gdzette's mind is
made up, and it it's-Washburn. He
seems to US to unite as many excellent
qualities as any other candidate re know
of, and to possess some qualities rot COM
mon to ali, Ito wit : a firmness of charac-
ter--an unusual strength of will and de-
termination, and known hostility to
all monopolies and special privileges In
addition he is familiar with the duties
and responsibility attached to public
life We shall be perfectly willing to &C
cept any other candidate, who, in the
opinion OF the Convention, shall combine
these, or similar or better qualifications:
but In looking over the field for the sole
purpose of lighting upon just the right
man, we can see 30 one who will harmo-
nize so many interests. or is more thor
oughly qualified in every respect, morally
physically or intellectually, than Cadwal-
lader Washburn, of La Crosse.

The Milwaukee Seebote, in an article

The Milwaukee ,Seebote, in an article
on Heligoland, says:
There is no probability that the Eng
lish government will ever voluntarily sur
render this place. They would look up
on it as the beginning towards giving up
those strategetical points that it holds in
| different portions of the globe, and es
sential to uphold their empire at the sea.
| Those that think it is worthless to her, OF
| that the menace of war will induce heI
| to part with it, are mistaken. This ma
ton cannot surrender this naval station
without being called upon to surrender
others, and she cannot surrender her ma
val stations without surrendering her
| empire Of the sea, and she cannot be
stripped Of these without her overthrow
as great power. Menaces will have nc
effect upon her. She regards the offer
to sell this little island in the same light
that parent would entertain the prepo-
sition to sell ore of his children. The
German flag will never float over this is
land unless as trophy ofwa Germany

peaceful to think of going lightly to war.

Was Vaiiandigham a Traitor 2

The Chicago Republican, probably wrote
the most truthful and fair biographical
sketch of the life and character of Val
| landigham that has been written He sets
down nothing in malice, neither does he
extenuate any of his faults. You can see
| the cold, selfish, heartless politician In
every line of the article; no human SYM
pathy could stand in the way Of his am
bition
But the Republican has since boldly
asserted that Vallandig ham was no trail
tor; and this is the matter we propose to
answer. The discovery that Vallandig-
ham was not traitor, if true, is certain
ly an important one-for he acted and
spoke so much like traitor, that many
persons thought he really was one, and
it will still be very difficult to persuade
most of them that he was not.
The following little item, which we
found in the Chicago Post, is one of the
ten thousand little matters that will puz-
zle the people, provided there is really
an attempt to rescue the name Of Vallan-
digham from the roll of darh; hued trai;-
tors. 1t is too cheap manner of dis
posing of this question, that of calling
everybody idiotic, who questions the 10y
atty of Vallandigham:
POLITICAL.
The dramatic death of Vallandigham
has insured for him the most charitable
estimate in all the obituaries of the Re-
publican press. In the funeral shadow
we are apt to forget the following letter,
written in 1864. Itwas written to COL
Inshal, Of the Sth Alabama regiment,
while Vallandigham was in the South !:
Post.
''You surmise correctly when you say
that you believe me to be friend of the
South in her struggle for freedom. My
feelings have been publicly expressed in
my own country, in that quotation from
Lord Chatham-'M My Lords, you cannot
OF Puritan blood in my veins [ hate,
despise, and defy the tyrannical govern
ment which has sent me among you, for
my Sdhc, anu Slldl ueNGI give
it my support In its crusade upon your
institutions. But you are mistaken when
you say there are but few such in the
United States, North. Thousands are
there who would speak out but for the
military despotism that strangles them.
Although the contest has been, and
will continue to be, bloody one. you
have but to persevere, and the victory
will surely be yours. You must strike
home! The defensive policy lengthens
the contest. The shortest road TO peace
is the bloodiest one. You can have your
own terms by gaining the battle on your
enemy's SOIL
Accept my regards for your personal
welfare, and sincere thanks for your kind
wishes in my behalf, and hoping and
praying for the ultimate cause in which
you are fighting, believe me, as ever your
friend.
G. L. VALLANDIGHAM
''Col. D. d. Inshall, Sth Ala. Vols. ("
How is that for high p He says
truly, when he asserts that thousands
are there who would speak out, !" &c.
Thousands of them did speak, and hun
dreds of them in this city, and they are
here still, and as full of treason as ever.

The "Accept Nothing Democracy.
From the Albany { Ga. News.

The departure of the Northern Demo
craey from the true faith of the party,
should inspire the South with a lofty
sense of seif-respeet and a profound re-
gard for her oWu peace and material IN
terestS The tore of the Northern press
toward Mr.. Davis. and through him to-
ward the people of the South, is ample
testimony that the Democrats of the
North have no more love for us than
have the Republicans, and should re
mind US of their villanous deception,
duplicity and treachery IN 1860. About
the only difference between a modern
Northern Democrat, with the new de-
