Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1871-06-16


On account of desire to secure the construc-
ton of the Valley Railroad to this point at an
early day, the City Council passed an ordinance
on the 3Oth ult., to appoint day for an election
to change the terms of the City subscription of
$50, 600, so that it might be subscribed and used
between Harrisonburg and Stanton, and from
supposed informality re-ordained it on the 9Th
inst. On the 9th inst, finding that there was
no necessity to change the conditions, there be-
ing but $75 600 ofstock to be raised to construct
the achoIe line from Harrisonburg to Salem, the
ordinances above mentioned were repealed
There will, therefore, be no vote on the question,
and we are much rejoiced thereat. We have
heartily worked to secure the Valley Railroad,
destined to be link in the great through line
from the North East to the great South West,
and we decidedly prefer its entire completion to
any piece meal construction lit, even fits ter
minus remained at Staunton for several years.
With the proper energy exhibited the whole of
this road will be put under contract in very
short time and Staunton become the crossing
point of two of the most important routes Of
travel and trade in the Countrywide shortest
through routes from New York to New Orleans,
and from the Atlantic to the Pacific Who can
estimate the advantages to our City, County and
surrounding section Let US, therefore, be up
and doing and secure this great good.

The New Hampshire Elec-

The following result Of the
late election held in New
Hampshire we clip from the
Republic, of March "a, pub.
lished at Littleton, N. H.,
which our anxious readers will
find correct:
The first returns received by
telegraph last week did not
include the scattering vote,
which the town clerks subse.
quently returned. This vote
amounts to 1,077, and therefore
Mr.. Weston lacks about 800
votes of an election by the
people; but as the Senate will
stand s Democrats and 4 Rad.
icals, and the House 1853 Dem
ocrats and 1852 Radicals, Mr..
Weston's election by the Leg.

made n great effort to elect
their man, almost every voter
including the niggers--being
brought out to vote. This is
the first victory the Radical
party has heard tell Of since the
New Hampshire election, and
there is much rejoicing among
the Office holders and played
out politicians. The Cincin-

old swell over the Jackson
county election than it did over
the New Hampshire election.

Mob Law in Paris.

Paris is under mob rule;
Gems. Vinoy, Thomas and lie

by rufians, towards and asSas'
sins. The assassination Of
some of the best statesmen and
ablest defenders of France by
niscreants who shirl1ed from
the defense and revolted at
the approach of the barbar-
Gus invaders Of their country,
is an outrage for which there
can be no excuse, no appease-
ment, and no apology save
blood, aud we hope it will not
be withheld from these foul
murderers and assassins. The
terrible excesses of 1893 will
be re-enacted if something is
not done, soon, to check the

ters who have possession Of

The Columbus & Hooking
Valley Railroad.

The Columbus & Hooking
Valley Railroad.
On Thursday of last week
we made our first trip over this
road which extends from the
Marietta and Cincinnati Rail-
road at Athens to Columbus,
Ia distance of 76 miles. We
were highly pleased with this
most excellent thoroughfare,
which is indeed very conve.
nient to the people of this Sec
tion of country and a great
saving of time and money to
those having business north
ward, and the most important
and the best conducted railway
lines which belt the surface of
the Buckeye State. We COM
mend the travelling and the
shipping public to the Colum-
bus and Hooking Valley Rail
road. 1t has connections with
all the important railways
leading in all directions at Co.
lumbus, as well as at Lancaster
and Athens. Itpasses through
the richest valley of mineral
wealth in Ohio. There are
nineteen Stations on the line
including those on the Straits
vile Branch, averaging only
four miles apart. 1t is equip
ped with a large number of
powerful locomotives and mag.
nifcent passenger cars. We
were informed that not one
serious accident has occurred
on the road since its compile
ton in July last; and we are
satisfied none ever will occur
so long as the present attentive
Conductors-Messrs. Snively
and Joseph-are kept in the
emyloy of the Railway Com
pany.

The Democratic Strength
in the House.

The Democratic, strength in
the House will be increased to
one hundred members by the
gain in New Hampshire and
the decision of the Committee
on Elections in favor of Ed
wards, Democrat, whose seat
was contested. Three more
are expected from the Con-
necticut election, two from
California and two from Texas,
which will make the House
stand at the next session 1876
Repub blicans to 107 Democrats.
AS there are 243 members,
and a majority is 122, the
Democrats will then only lack
fifteen votes to control the
House. However, with the
present number, which destroys
the two-thirds rule, and the re-
Inducements they are con,
stantly receiving from the Rev
enue Reform Republicans, they
have thus far in the session
carried every measure they
have brought forward, and de-
feated all attempts Of the
Radicals at extreme legislation.

The extravagances of this
Republican Congress have be-
come so outrageous that even
so strong a partisan as John A,
Logan is compelled to protest
against them. He said in the
House, Thursday, "that the
people were not going to sub
nit to these enormous burdens
imposed on them by Congress,
He did not want to attend the
funeral of the Republican par
ty within the next two years;
if he had to do so he desired
its assassination should be per-
petrated by other hands, he
did not want to see the life and
vitality of that party taken
from it by its friendS-by men
calling themselves Republicans,
and yet they were doing it
here every day. They must
cease this extravaganza, must
cease these outrages on the peo-
pie, or they were a doomed
partyW 1t is apretty time Of
day to talk about putting an
end to Radical extravaganza,
now that Congress has but a
few days in which to do it
Millions upon millions of the
peoples money have been
squandered On corporations
and monopolies, without a
word of remonstrance on the
part of the Republican mem
bers. 1t is only when the par
ty is on its death bed, with a
certain prospect of going to
the devil, that its members ex'
hibit any compunctions of con-
Silence at the wholesale corrup-
tion Of which they have been
guilty. This death-bed repent
ance, when the power to con-
tinue evil practices has passed
away, won't answer in politics.
The Republican party is al,
ready doomed, and if General
Logan does not attend its fune'
ral within two years, it will be
because he will be ashamed to
be seen among the mourners.

the eighth section Of the law
with power to arrest any voter
or election officer, without pro.
cess, for what he, the aforesaid
deputy, may deem to be fraud,
.ulent, conduct. IF these polit.
ical roughs desire to stop vo-
ting in any ward or precinct,
they may pretend that the cleo
tion officers are guilty of fraud
ulent conduct, arrest the officers
and thus break up the election
in that precinct, depriving vo-
ters of their franchise, and the
candidates, of their right to
those votes. This exposes the
secret aim Of the bill, to break
up the elections in New York
and other Democratic cities, in
1872, by arresting election Of
ficials, while lin the discharge
of their duties, thus preventing
the polling of unquestioned le.
gal votes, and by damnable
frauds of this kind, securing the
electoral votes of doubtful
States for Grant, who will also
have his bayonets swell in hand'
to enforce and maintain the
outrage.
The passage Of this act of in,
Justice and outrage demon
strates that the Radical party
is no longer the majority party
ofthe United States +; for if the
majority party, and so able to
carry its ends by votes, why
should it resort to the bayonet?
Duling the war, when greed,
hate, ambition, and all that
company held a DEVILS holiday,
the Radical party was strong
enough to do without electoral
frauds, or at least many Of
them but just in proportion

ultimately more than it comes
to, some further impediment to

This impediment appears in
these bayonet election bills,
original and supplementary,
which bills are unconstitutional,
impudent, bloody,minded, I'M
necessary for any good end,
and useful alone for infamous
purposes-the desperate expe-
dient of a minority party to
cow the majority with cold
steel, as it's sole hope Of re.
tanning power.

The Law to Subyert Elec-
tiOnS.

The supplementary bayonet
election bill is an affront and
menace to every decent man
in the country. The New
York Worlds exposure of the
characters of the fellows hired
in that city, at last election, on
behalf of the administration,
showed very fully the detesta-
ble nature of the material re-
quired by these bayonet bills
to haunt the polls; and now
for a glance at the new powers
in the hands of this
riffraff and scum. Let one of
these known scoundrels fall in
to an affray with any person at
the polls, and call upon you to
aid him in any beating or bang
ing or arresting of said person
he may consider in the line of
his "duty"-of which duty he
alone is by the bill carefully
made the iudge-you must as
sist him or "be punished by
imprisonment not more than
two years, or by fine not more
than $4,000, or by both such
fine and imprisonment, and
shall pay the costs Of the pros
ecution." Fancy that Infamous
william mentioned lin the The
World list of last fall, who was
just back from State Prison, or
that strongly suspected murder,
er, or the fellow forever Cup"
for beating his aged mother, or
any such debauched ruAian of
this kind, pounding some hon
est mans face into a jelly at
the polls, and bawling out at
you, with vile oaths and impre.
cations, to help him in the name
of the United States ! You re-
fuse, as you ought to do, and
that instant have two years
Imprisonment and $4,000 fine
staring-you in the face, not to
speak of the Federal minion
pouncing on you with lis club
or revolver, the moment his
first victim drops. What mat.

beast has you by the throat,

can, and have just voted

as you do a snake! You have
noremedy; you refused to aid
the satrap, when called in, and
under the law he can pound
you well to begin with and
then polish you.off by preferr-
ing a charge that will land you
in State Prison, well fined. 1t
is worth while to remember
that this bayonet election bill
treats the white free.born citi-
zen worse to-day than the Fu-
gitive Slave law treated The
negro slave. Although that
law, which was SO odious to
Republicans, made 1t the duty

The Railroad Change.

We have been requested to state
whether there is truth in the rumor ahoat
that the Rutland Railroad is soon to
pass into the hands of the mana
gers of the Vermont Central. We
believe there is. No official statement
has been made by either party, but it has
transpired that the terms of a lease for
twenty years have been agreed upon,
and the lease executed by the managers,
and all that remains to make it complete,
Is bill OF chancery, and possibly vote
of affirmation on the part of one Of the
corporations. 1t is an important change,
but it is as yet impossible to predict
what the effect will be upon the local
prosperity of towns along the line. 1t is
difficult to imagine management which
would work injury to Addison county.
Of course the rivalry existing between
tho Rutland and the Central now ceases.
The management of Gov. Smith has al
ways been liberal, sagacious and calculat-
ed to increase rather than diminish bust
ness along the line of his roads. Hence
we may hope for better things rather than
worse, although we can have no COM
plant against the former Management
which was fair and liberal to the limit of
possibilities under the circumstances
which sometimes fettered the managers
The Addison railroad will be pushed
forward to completion as if no change
had been made.
