South Must Repudiate Davis.

The ~. I. Herald says:
Whatever may be the result Of the election
IN Ohio, or Of elections in other Northern
States, they cannot expect to succeed in the
Presidential contest against Gen. Grant, unles
the party everywhere repudiates JeiF Davis
and those lmpracticable Southern fire eaters
and disorganizers who keep up sectional preju-
dlces and alarm conservative people.
Admit that Davis does not represent public
opinion in the South, as he certainly does not
that of the Northern democrats, his insane and
disturbing utterances will be used effectively by
the radicals to damage the democracy. IF the
democrats should not openly denounce this
man and his heresies they will be held respon.
sible. The war issues will be revived, and all
that the party in the North may accomplish by
Its new departure will prove unavaillng. So
sensitive is public feeling yet on the war ques-
ton and with regard to the conduct of JEFF
Davis and those who with him took promi-
nent part 10 the rebellion. Nor will it be
enough for Northern democrats to repudiate
JEFF. Davis and his disturbing utterances the
Southerners themselves must come out boldly
and declare they disapprove of his language
and conduct at Atlanta The impression must
be removed that this man may be a leader
again. He and all such obnoxious men must
be kept down. The democrats OF the North
cannot carry such weight, however favorable
their prospects may be in this part OF the re-
public Will the Southerners throw overheard
their Jonahs to save the democratic party and
the South from further radical oppression P
That is the question. Upon their answer, per
haps, the Presidential election of 1872 may
turn.

StauntOn.

The Editor of the Oatario Repository and
Messenger, published at Canandaigua, N. ",
who was one of the Editorial Excursionists,
thus speaks Of Staunton in his letter to his pa
per from the White Sulphur Springs:
"We crossed the Blue Ridge and reached
Staunton about P. NJ, having passed through
section of country of unsurpassed beauty,
fertility and loneliness The city of Stanton
is situated in the Upper Shenandoah Valley
than which richer or more pleasant one is no
where to be found. Meadows, orchards, vine
yards and cultivated fields, beautify the scene,
while the sloping hills clothed in rich verdure
add their charm to the view. It is probably
the most productive valley 10 the State, and
from its abundant products was called the
'granary of the Confederacy" Through this
valley the contending armies ranged until it
was completely devastated, from which it has
by no means yet recovered.
Staunton is one of the Oldest cities in the
State, numbering nearly hundred years It
has population of about 5000, who are noted
for their intelligence, refinement, hospitality
and enterprise. Their schools churches and
public institutions are not only numerous, but
of the best 10 the country, and her people are
among the most intelligent aud reGned.

A Correction

We published last week from the Christians
burg Messenger the statement that Henry G..
Wysor near Dublin Depot, in Pulaski county,
had whipped boy named Trollinger so severe
ly that he died. The Lynchburg Nuginian
contains a letter written from Dublin, June
5th, youched for as reliable, contradicting the
statement published the week before From
that letter, we make the following extract:
when Trollinger was first charged with
purloining the letter he denied it, but finally
acknowledged that he had opened, read and
then destroyed it. Mr.. Wysor then took him
out to an apple tree, gave him whipping and
drove him off the place. Trollinger left the
neighborhood in a day or two, but so far from
dying of his injuries he is now at the house
of relative In this county, we'll and hearty,
and SO little was he hurt by the whipping that
during bis stay at his relatives for two days af-
forwards he never complained of it, and when
he left the neighborhood to avoid prosecu-
ton no one but those who witnessed it knew
he had been whipped"

Fatality Attending a Show.

A fatality seems to attend Hamilton & Raw
don's Indian Show" which exhibited here
yesterday. On Monday week. woman of that
company whilst performing on the slack rope
at New Castle fell and broke her colar-bone.
On Wednesday last near Salem, one of the
men was killed and another injured by the up
setting of wagon. The Roanoke Times
says:
1.-The name Of the young man killed, as
written in memorandum book, is VIM. M.
Tuthill, of Pontiac, Michigan, although he was
travelling under the assumed name of Harry
Haynes. The neck of this unfortunate young
man was broken, and he died Immediately
He is said to have been a sober and honorable
man, and was favorite among the proprietors
and all others connected with the show. His
remains were decently inferred by Mr.. Rawdon

A Specimen Editorial Exeursionist.

Mr.. Beach, of the Brockport IN " Re-
public, who says in his paper that every man
at the South ''had ought to shower contempt
upon him in certain contingency, writes as
follows concerning the ku klux khan:
The prime object of this organization was
to maintain unitedly the southern white peo-
pie. undoubtedly by peaceable means; but in
certain sections where the animosity was great
est great outrages were committed. In
this respect all that has been alleged, and much
more of the same character, is true. The peo-
pie there admit all the facts. The organiza-
ton at Greensboro, N. c., embraces fourteen
hundred persons. At Danville, Va, and other
places, the khan is equally numerous. 1t would
occupy too much of our space to give in detail
their mode of crushing out Radicals, as they
term Republicans"
So here we have deliberate lie in return for
our hospitality There never were any ku klux
klans in Virginia, and We don't think the vilest
Radical in the State ever claimed that there
were any here. We have nothing more to say
to Mr.. Beach, Rich. DisDdtch.

Speech of jeff. Davis.

Considerable attention is now being directed
to the utterances Of Jefferson Davis. who is
traversing the South on business connected
with his Life Insurance Company, and who, as
the Chief Executive of the Confederacy, in
whose behalf the Southern people struggled so
long and suffered so much, is naturally received
wherever he goes with demonstrations of en-
thusiasm and regard Mr.. Davis says that he
does not accept the situation" if, by that in
definite expression, it may be concluded that
he has changed his opinions ass to the wrong
fulness or rightfulness Of the issues which were
practically decided by the result of the late
war. He does not believe he did wrong in
holding those opinions, nor 10 maintaining
them to the utmost extent of his power. He
however recognizes the fact that his opinions
have been overruled by the trial of arms, and
that it is his duty to yield cheerful obedience
to the laws of the land. He distinctly repudi-
ates the idea that any further resort to arms
should ever be had by the South to maintain
It's construction of our governmental compact.
He says that submission to the laws is the
duty and the obligation, and should be the
PRIDE of the citizen.
And this is all that can be reasonably expect
ed of the men Of the South, who so strenuous
iy and at SO much cost to themselves waged
battle In defence Of their opinions, and who
nave never pretended tnat they surrendered
because they were convinced that they were
wrong; but simply because they were conquer
ed. 1t would be strange, indeed, if they had
so lightly taken up the guage of battle, that
the opinions in behalf Of which they waged it,
could be changed by its disastrous result. A
man who is knocked down because he has call.
ed another liar, gets up with an increased re-
spect for the physical vigor of his adversary,
but not necessarily with a stronger belief in bis
veracity. The terrible cost of the war to the
Southern people has rendered it impossible fol
them ever to think of its renewal but their
cause is sanctifed to them by the loss of their
kindred who sealed their devotion to it with
their blood !-Laneoster Pa Isteltigencer.

Horace Greeley and JEFF. Davis,

The Memphis AUalonche of the 4th instant
says:
About II o'clock yesterday Hon. Jefferson
Davis called at the OVerton Hotel, and was
ushered into the presence of Mr.. Greeley, at
whose hands he met very cordial reception.
The philosopher and his visitor sat facing each
other in the centre of the room, the broad,
open, and plain countenance of the one in
strange contrast with the wiry, nervous, and
somewhat delicate face Of the other.
Mr.. Davis was dignifed and somewhat for
NAL in manner, while Mr. Greeley was frank,
easy, and quite laxative. There was scarcely
reference to the political situation. Mr..
Greeley inquired concerning the health Of Mrs.
Davis with much warmth and earnestness, and
again referred to the high regard he entertain
ed for that lady and the family of which she
came. Mr.. Davis responded appro priately
and
EXPRESSED THE GRATITUDE OF HIMSELF AND
MRS. DAVIS
to the philosopher for his kindly services soon
after the war. This brought up Mrs. Da-
viss interview referred to above, In which
Mr.. Greedy seemed to dwell with much pleas
ure. In the course of conversation Mr.. Gree
ley again spoke Of the Blairs, and especially the
seniors of that distinguished family, rernarking
en- PEASANT that Frank p Blair, Jr, and Others
of the present generation did not do Justice to
the old stock, to whom he referred with appa-
rent deep feeling. Mr.. Greeley then passed on
to subjects nearer home, and finally dwelt for
several minutes on the memory of General
Quitman, of whom he spoke as
WARM PERSONAL AND POLITICAL FRIEND
in times gone by. Not a word was said on
either side, that our reporter could overhear,
concerning Mr.. Davis's condition and pros
poets. All through the interview, which lasted
ten minutes, Mr. Davis maintained very re-
served demeanor, while on the other hand the
face of the philosopher was wreathed in kind
ness and smiles, with occasionally hearty
laugh breaking the Stiffness.
1t was a scene worthy the pencil of an artist,
one that would make picture valuable now
and in future generations. Rising at the con-
cusion of the interview, Mr. Davis withdrew
with stately bow, and in few minutes after
Mr.. Greeley was en- route for the railroad depot,
where he took the ~ train for Louisville, &C
companied by General Merritt, his friend and
travelling companion.

From the Excursionists.

From the letter Of the Editor of the O,oego
Gazette IN. " written from the White Sui
phur Springs, we make the following extract
after passing over some of the most ro-
mantle and beautiful country In the world
crossing the mountains of the Blue Ridge,
through tunnels, over chasms and through
deep cuts, we arrived in the beautiful city OF
Staunton, late in the afternoon. The party
proceeded Immediately to the Virginia Hotel.
where they were received by the Mayor, who
read the resolutions of the Common Council,
rendering the Inequalities of the city. Speech
es were made and the supper which followed
disappeared quickly under the attacks of the
editorial locusts. In the evening the excursion
lists visited the Methodist Female Seminary
where they we're entertained by music from a
daughter of Colonel Hotchkiss, and other
young ladies. Thence we proceeded to the
Virginia Female Institute, (Episcepal,) where
we were again excelently entertained with IN
strumental and vocal music. A young lady,
from New Orleans Of great beauty, read poem
which she delivered in manner we have new
er heard excelled by professional In re,
Spouse to repeated calls, Hon. D. b. Hill, OF
Elmira, arose, blushed, and made few re-
marks. Of course he did not dilate upon the
benefit Of Unions to the laboring man, nor try
to convince his hearers that days work should
VIC iiL1ItOu W Clsut 1bu tuoe ehO uoy .
should be twenty-six hours in length. His
speech was remarkable for its brevity and neat
ness. Mr.. Hill is pleasant speaker and new
err "slops over, which is more than can be said
of some of the party who persist in inhictng
their unsolicited twadde upon US upon the
slightest provocation. We next visited the
Augusta Female Seminary, presbyterian
where we again listened to some excellent sing
Ing and instrumental music. We have with
our party conceited person, to whom we have
given the soubriquet of the 'ssick Kitten" who
claims to be Democratic lawyer hailing from
Mauch Chunk, Pa. He persisted in making
an ass of himself upon every possible occasion
and he here succeeded in showing the excessive
length of his ears, by raising and expressing
his regret that no national airs had been played
at any of the Seminaries we had visited and
that we had had too much operate music. He
then sat down amid few Kisses, and Hon. j.
III. Selkreg, of Ithaca, Republican and man
of brains, arose and gave the fool a flashing for
his impertinence that brought down the house
with shower of applause The fact is, We are
afflicted with too many speeches. Gentlemen
connected with the large dailies, like COL Du-
mars, of the Elmira Advertiser, Major Tidd,
of the Elmira Gazette, and Mr.. Mallette, of
the Binghamptou Republican, are quiet and
keep in the background, while the nonentities
who edit the seven-by-nine crossroads news
papers seize every opportunity to thrust them
selves forward with their bad grammar and
sloppy rhetoric, giving, no doubt, an impress
sion to the Southern people that Northern ed
itors generally are clod-hoppers." a-e

until the 18th inst, for the graduation, ma
sorry and bridging of the road from Hamil-

to be completed by May of next year. This
announcement will be received with pleasure,
not only in Alexandria, which is to be SO much
benefited by being again brought into direct
and speedy communication with section of
the State, from which it once drew such lu-
crative trade, but by the people along the line
and contiguous thereto, and by all interested
in the progress Of works of internal improve
ment whereby the State is to be developed the
value OF lands enhanced, and the general we'll
fare promoted. The road completed to Win
chester, there is scarcely doubt that it will
then be speedily pushed forward to its ultimate
destination on the Ohio, where connecting with
the great system OF railways, it will form one
of the trunk lines oe trade and travel between
the Pacific and Atlantic. -Atec. Gazette
