The Republican Cause in Fairfax.
FAIRFAX @, H., Oct. 22d, 1871.

10 Tie Editor Of the STATE Journal:
The canvass in this county is progressing
quietly, but with most encouraging signs of
success for the Republican cause.
Judge Gray, for the House of Delegates,
is universally popular, and even the most
extreme of his opponents admit that if he
is elected, Fairfax will be well and ably re-
presented.
The nomination of Nlessrs. Daniels and
Willoughby for the Senate is received with
enthusiasm by Republicans in every corner
of the district.
Colonel Daniels is making vigorous
canvass, and his telling speeches are awak-
ening new thoughts among hundreds of the
hitherto misled and duped people. A doubt
begins to take hold of some of the Demo.
cratic leaders, and loss Of confidence in
their boasted 1000 registered majority i'll
the district. and not without reason, when
it is remembered that that 1000 majority
was not cast for Democracy or Conserva-
tism, but was obtained under the guise OF
"True Republican," with such names as
that of the Hon. Lewis Mckenzie on the
ticket.
They may well have cause for fear also,
when they dare not utter word upon State
policy, but are dumb as oysters as to any
measures for the relief of the people, and
have nothing to say, except abuse of Re-
publcans. The people of this section have
had enough of that and are tired oft. Such
speeches used to be yociferously applauded
but are now heard in silence.
Republicans are perfectly united and har
monious, and will give a good account o.
| themselves on the 18th of November.

A BID FOR FOREIGN VoTEs.-Mr.
William Lovenstein, the German candidate
on the Democratic ticket, is willing that all
foreigners who desire to become naturalized
citizens of America may report to him, at
his office, just above ours. :,
How dsinterested you are, Billy! Would
you let one of them leave you without.
promising to vote for you? Oh, no! we
reckon not; and wouldn't you, Billy, pay
a little of the expense attending the procure
ment of said papers? We reckon you
would, Billy. How kind you'are, thus to
assist foreigners to make Americans of
themselves, Billy! Did you ever offer so
much for so little before? We guess not.
1t is distressing to see how suddenly can
didates for office grow kind. But we de-
sist, Billy; all the foreigners not now ma
turalized'will be unable to save your bacon.
Beg pardon, we forgot you didn't like it.

A Few PLAIN REMARKS the
number of complaints that reach us from
nearly every precinct in the city, we are
satisfied the same vilainies are practiced
which have marked the course of the DEM
ocratic party in this city in the past. The
most annoying questions are asked OF col
ored men, while imaginary Democrats are
permitted to register without let or him
drance. Obstacles of every sort are put III
the way of colored men, and every effort
made to prevent them qualifying themselves
as voters.
We are not going to make any appeal for
Justice and ask the fair minded men of
Democracy to correct the evils, but we are
going to warn them that there is an end to
the patience of all men, that such outrages
must ultimately bring better fruit to the
lips of the sewers Of the seed, and the
sooner they cease such conduct, the better
it will be for all parties. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that the honorable men of the party
in this city, are in ignorance Of the means
adopted by the infamous and contemplate
dirty workers of the parry; for we know
such men do not endorse, and would not en-
courage, the longer continuance of wrong.
Such acts will return to plague the mven-
| tors, and our word for it, longer continu-
ance of them will result in the final over
throw of corruption, and when once again
it is in the power of Republicans, its APP
peals for mercy will receive such contempt
as its past and present conduct justly de-
serves.

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT CoURT.-
Judge Bond opened this court to-day at

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT
Judge Bond opened this court to-day at
12M.
The cases of the United States vs.. John
Hagan, Winston Rogers, and Charles +.
Gmllon, known as the election cases, were
continued until the 2lst of November next,
when 1t is expected they will be tried.
Judgments were rendered in favor of the
United States VS.. the Petersburg railroad
company in two cases, for $500 and 81 600
respectively, and against John 4. Dunbar
ct ais for $24 so.
The cases against certain parties in this
city, charged with selling lottery tickets as
agents of the Southern Association, were
argued on motion for new trial. The
principal question at issue was, whether
that Association is lottery or not? The
Court reserved his decision.
The case of the United States VS.. Jesse
J. Simkins, late Collector of Customs at
Norfolk, on motion for new trial, was
being argued when our report closed. The
principal plea set up is that the money for
which judgment was rendered was paid on
order of Gen. Huger, Confederate com
mander at Norfolk in 1861, into the Treas
ury of the State of Virginia, and that there
fore the defendant is not liable, and that
the government has remedy against the
State.
John A. ellis was admitted to practice
in this court. a

IT is PossIBLE.--At the grand Demo-
cratic rally last night, our friends, exhibited
a coffin, at the head of which was inscribed,
'We killed them in 1862" and at the foot,
"We will bury them in 1871" The coffin
and inscription, doubtless, emanated from
the mind of some one who remembered the
breaking of the Jefferson ward ballot-box,
the killing Of Policeman Kennedy, and the
shooting of another policeman who wanted
to testify as to Democratic yillainy.
1t is possible, we may be buried in III
but we have the evidence of the past that
there is such a thing as resurrection, and
that 1872 is the time allotted to us for that
resurrection. Pennsylvania, Ohio and
other States have made the promise, and
we have faith in their word.

THE "JoURNALn KU-KLUx-His Aa-
cestry--A Long Way From Honse.-The
Eceniug Nescs and Enquirer both charge
the JOURNAL office with being the abode
of band of Ku-Klux, and 60 so far as to
designate the Grand Cyclops. We have
taken particular pains to inquire into the
truth Of the charge and find it correct in
some particulars. The Grand Cyclops tells
us. he is the son Of wealthy and re-
spectacle Democrat of North Carolina, and
has inherited his disposition to be cruel to
''niggers" from his father, and that on his
arrival in Richmond, he was directed to go
to either the Enquirer or News office, where
he would find plenty of friends. He had
gone to them both, but found their papers
SO little in demand, and so little about
them worth Ku-Kluxing, he thought he
would try larger establishment. Hence he
came to our office, and could not long resist
the idea of going for juvenile fifteenth
amendment.
He says he would go back to the Nelcs
office, but they told him the one old gentle
man they have employed could sell all their
papers that was wanted, consequently they
could find no job for him. When we told
him to 90 to the Enquirer, he astonshcd us
by informing us that they gave away all
their papers, and didn't sell any, and OF
course had no use for him. We have re-
ferred him to the Dispatch, where, we inn
agine, he will be more at home than with
| us.
These North Carolina Ku-Klux are terri
Bile fellows, and if this youthful one only
knew Judge Bond was here, we imagine he
would surrender, plead guilty, and ask for
judicial clemency, as many of his friends in
North Carolina have recently done.

The ELECTION CASES POSTPONED. =
Judge Bond, this morning, in the United
States Circuit Court, decided to postpone
until the 2lst Of November the trial OF
several cases against parties charged with
the violation of election laws. lie did not
think it was right to try such cases during
the excitement of campaign, and believed
the ends of justice could be more easily ac-
complished when mems minds were free
from all excitement. OF course we must
submit to the decision, but we fear their
postponement will result in olltrages against
Republicans during the approaching cleo
ton.

of Poe, trustee, VS.. the city of Richmond,
which was an application for an Injunction
restraining the city from the enforcement
of an ordinance providing for the widening
of Franklin street, Judge Fitzhugh, of the
Chancery court, this morning delivered an
elaborate opinion sustaining the application
and granting the injunction. a large
amount of valuable improved property is
affected by the suit, and as the case above
mentioned is probably regarded as test
case, we suppose the question is thus set
tied against the right Of the city to con-
demn.

LooKoUT.-T Tonight we are to have a
grand Republican rally in front Of the
City Hall, Broad street, and are satisfied
there will be no lack of material to make it
imposing and interesting. A number of
speakers have been engaged for the occa-
sion, and from their well known reputation
we may expect something good. Come one
and all, and let us show the enemy we are
in good trim for an earnest fight. We es-
pecially invite Democrats to be present that
they may see we can approximate, if not
excel, the grand Democratic demonstration
of last night,

A SAD ACCIDENT learn that on
Saturday evening last, Mr.. Philip Tabb,
Westham road, about two and half miles
from the city, met with an accident, by
which one of his eyes was entirely de-
destroyed. The ball was split in twain by
a corn-stalk, while Mr.. I. was cutting the
corn. Worse still, the accident has caused
the loss of sight in the other eye. This is
truly lamentable occurrence, and the un-
fortunate gentleman has our sincere SYM
pathy.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT-Death Of a
Colored Woman.-A colored woman named
Betsy Harris, who was employed as cook
in the kitchen of Mrs. Ruth Terrll, on
Cary street, between Seventh and Eighth,
was, on Friday evening last, burned in the
most horrible manner, from the effects of
which she died on Sunday, after suffering
the most excruciating agony for forty-eight
hours.
We learn that the woman was parching
coffee over the stove, and that while per-
forming this duty her clothing took fire.
So rapidly did they burn, that but few
moments elapsed before they were entirely
consumed, and the poor woman most ter
ribly burned in many portions of her body
Mrs. TerrilPs hands were badly burned
while attempting to smother the flames
having been attracted to the spot by the
cries of the colored woman.
A physician was Immediately summoned
but despite the remedies applied, the victim
Of this unfortunate accident died on Sunday
having endured great suffering for two days
and nights.

ENTHUSIASTIC DEMOCRATIC DEM
ONsTRATIoN LAST NIGHT, UNDER THE
AUSPICES OF JACK WREN & Co.
Cannon Booming and Tar Barrels Burn
iag-A Successful Successive had no
idea Jack Wren & Co. were going to jump
so readily at our suggestion to burn tar bar
rels, shoot cannon, &C., &C., at political
meetings, else we would have been silent
upon the subject. However, tits done, and
to be candid, twas well done. No matter
who did it, or whose money paid the eX-
pense, the Democratic demonstration last
night, at the Old Market, was successful
success, and we have no doubt made vote
or too. We will not admit its perfection,
for that would pu. it beyond our reach to
excel, for excel WE MUST from now on,
until the Democrats give up.
These enthusiastic, snowy, and attractive
meetings exercised great influence over the
people when the question of secession was
agitated. They are dangerous to all adver-
saries, and we tell the people of Richmond
who are interested in the success Of the Re-
publican ticket, that if they would be wise
they must roll up their sleeves and. go in
We tell the candidates themselves, far more
able than those of our enemies, that if they
went to be elected they must come down
with their stamps they must be up and do.
ing f; they must hire and pay men to leg fol
them while they are tussling with their bo-
dies and talking with their tongues.
Are there no men in Richmond to be
hired, with money--the same as those were
last night? They must demand the use o.
Old Market Hall, lit belongs to no politica
party,) and make it ring with crushing and
telling truths. In fact we must WORK
and task every individual of the party.
A number of people were induced las
night to attend the meeting, because of tht
great efforts made by few members of tht
Democratic party; and let our friends think
as they may, we like the man who puts his
soul into the work he undertakes, whether
his party be right OF wrong. If he is {
Ku-klux, let him be big Ku-Klux. This
is to win; to be idle, is to lose; and W,
tell you we can't afford to be beaten by
such party and such men.
We did not hear the speeches delivered
last night, but have no doubt they wer'
satisfactory to Democrats, and failed to dC
us any good.
When shall we have the next meeting
with a tallow-dip?
The corn-pile is divided, the captains SC
lected, and while Democracy is shuckin,
and shouting, we stand astonished at ou
own laziness.

BROAD STREET.-AS VIII be seen Dy
the report of the meeting of the City Coun-
Gil last evening, published in our paper, the
question of the Broad street improvements
has been referred to the finance committee
of the Council, with instructions to open
negotiations with the railroad company
again.
We wish we could feel confident that the
Council is imbued with sincere desire to
remove the railroad distractions from
Broad street, and initiate such improve
ments in that locality as are demanded by
every consideration of right and justice to
the taxpayers. But we must confess that
we do not.
The action last evening plainly indicates
lack of interest in the subject, and a
woful failure on the part of councilmen to
appreciate the urgency and Importance of
the question and will undoubtedly greatly
discourage the citizens who are more inn
n.ediately concerned in the contemplated
improvements. Hope deferred maketh
the heart sclS,o and if these Broad street
property-holders do not soon become thor
oughly disgusted with the reckless trilhng
with their interests, and determine to look
elsewhere for the consideration to which
they are entitled, we shall consider them
the most patient and confiding mortals that
ever lived.
The Council is beginning early to give ev-
idence of its reckless disregard of the in
terests of its constituents, who will, sooner
or later, be convinced that if they would
see Richmond prosper, as she should do, it
will be necessary to elect men of more en-
larged and liberal views. But all good cit
liens can find some consolation in the re-
Election that the time for ''new deal'' is
coming apace, when we hope to see Coun-
Gil, composed of men alive to the interests
Of the city, elected by our citizens.
