A DIRECT INQUIRY TO WHICH WE ASK
AN ANSWER.

The Richmond Enquirer is tie organ of
Democracy IN Virginia, and to it we put
these questions direct, and respectfully ask
Oft reply without any evasion whatever: !:
Is THERE NOT IN THIS CITY SECRET
POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS OF THE
CONSERVATIVE PARTY WHICH FIX
CLUDES ALL CATHOLICS FROM MEM
BERSHIP? Do not these organizations
control all party action IN SECRET and
do they not SO manipulate party matters as
to render outside and independent action
utterly worthless and of no effect?
Are not these councils, clubs, societies,
or by whatever name known, endorsed,
and their action concur, lied in or counte-
nanced, by the City Central Committee, or
such a majority thereof, as controls The ac-
ton of the party in this city?
If these societies do exist, VIII the En-
quaer tell us the difference between the
Conservative party of to-day and the
Know-Nothing party of the past?
We pause for a reply. We make the
charge, and ask the Enquirer if it can
deny it?

REPUBLICAN MEETINGS In RICH
MoND AND ESSEX CoUNTIEs.---As pre-
viously announced the Hon. Charles III.
Porter addressed the citizens Of Richmond
county on Saturda ylast. The crowd was
immense, and we hear the most favorable
reports of the speech of Mr.. Porter and its
impression upon the minds of his hearers.
Alter speaking at Warsaw for more than
two hours, Mr.. Porter heard there was
Democratic game at Tappahannock, Essex
county, in the person of Thomas Croxton,
Esq. ts
Mr.. Porter soon brought himself in con-
tact with Mr.. c., and after arranging the
preliminaries a joint discussion was had
between the two gentlemen, in which Mr..
Croxton paid Mr.. Porter several handsome
compliments, declaring him fair and hon
orable opponent. A favorable impression
was made upon even the most extreme men
Of the opposition, many of whom declared
their cause desperate and hopeless one.
We understand Mr.. Porter's efforts so
enthused the Democracy of Essex, that at
5 O'Clock Sunday morning its members
were in secret consultation. Let the good
work go on, till there's not one left to tell
the tale.

COMMISSION FROM THE GALLOws.' -

For the information of the Alexandria
Standard and Sentinel, we will state that
sickness in the family of Colonel Edward
Daniels has prevented him from giving his
personal attention to the editorial columns
of this paper for several weeks, and that
he is NOT the author of the article headed
Confession From the Galows,' and that
the author is NOT "a man who comes
down here from the North" but, ON the
contrary, a lifelong Virginian, of no little
reputation, both as writer and defender
of Republican principles. The best of all
is, that he generally defends what he says
in speech or print.
We say this much in order that justice
may be done Colonel Daniels in the district
in which he resides.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING. TONIGHT
The grand hoodwnker of Democracy, at
tended by the Ku-Klux of Monroe ward,
and no doubt their Tammany associates,
will enlighten the people of Richmond to-
night as to how much majority Democracy
will demand in the election this fall.
The general estimate has been fixed at
500, and we believe no one Of the party has
been instructed 10 put it at lower figures.
If the Republicans of Richmond are such
fools as to permit these frauds and swindles
to be perpetrated on them any longer, then
they deserve nothing better than to be
ruled over by the Democratic rod.

PETERSBURG, October 10, 1871.
To the Editor Qftte State Journal
A dashing young man of our city, who
was appointed by our Republican Council
last July one of the members of the Board
of the Lower Appomattox Company, eager
for fame and distinction, or, as Goblet said,
''anxious to see his name in dirty print, +"
announces to the world, and particularly
the people of Richmond and Petersburg,
through the hader and Dispatch, that he
resigns his position on the Board of the
Lower Appomattox Company, which insti-
tuition, no doubt, will deeply regret the
loss Of such an able and sharp .1fndncier.
Now, to obviate this lamentable loss TO our
time-honored Board, and to have this
resignation properly accepted, will it not
be necessary to have public meeting
called of all the citizens of big Richmond,
little Petersburg, and surrounding counties,
especially those through which flows the
noble AppomaitoG, to determine if it would
be advisable, in the present state of the
country, to receive this gentleman's resigna-
ton?
Your advice on so momentous aquestion
is anxiously looked for before the next
meeting of our Common Council, which
takes place on the 1st of November; and
please advise with Governor Walker and
Mayor Kelley. APPoMATToX.
We do not ike to advise our friends with
out being thoroughly acquainted with the
subject and as we have no idea of-4se
value of the services Of the gentleman re-
ferred to, we are at a loss to suggest the
proper course to pursue as to the accept

Governor Walker, true TO his &c. b."
instincts, never stays at home long enough
to be consulted upon important n.atters,
consequently we cannot confer with him.
Mayor Keiley's acquaintance with Peters
burg is of such character as to give weight
to his opinion. lie says, ''let him slide.
If the gentleman who wishes to re-
sign be young and inexperienced, we cor
cur with Mayor Kelly.
We saw enough Saturday in Petersburg
to satisfy us, that 'shydrophobia" is quite
prevalent ..among the Democrats of thai
place, and that in their madness there is nc
method. Let them rare, stamp and below
but as you have got their noses to the ring
hold them there until they cry peace
and then make them give good Republican
security before you slacken the rope

As Usual.

The Dispatch, with its usual falness. in
referring to the nomination for the Senate
by the Republicans Of Fairfax of Colonel
Edward Daniels, the editor of this paper,
says she is always writing as if he would
do So" (repudiate the State debit
The Dispatch knows better, and we defy
it TO show a single instance in which the
STATE JOURNAL ever said one acoyd in
favor of repudiasioa. We go further, and
defy the Dispatcb to find a single Repabli-
can in Virginia who IS in favor Of it.
In its search for such an one, we are sure
it will find several thousand Democrats
who not only favor reputation, but who
are pledged TO such policy, in case OF
election to the next Legislature.
Colonel Daniels will speak for himself
on his return to the city. ~

THE ITCH-BUG COMINd.--lf there
anything in the world we do admire, it is
modesty, of which Colonel Thomas Wynne
seems to have a large supply.
He is superintendent of the Petersburg
railroad, member Of the City Council, and
now wants the people of Richmond to send
him to the Senate. VIII sufficient num-
Der of them crafty him We think not ;
in fact, we have already heard a number OF
Democrats declare their opposition to him,
and their determination to scratch him and
Daniel from the ticket. Lovenstein, too, il
seems will find he is the owner of large
sized itch-bug, which will set his party to
scratching considerably on the 18th. The
rest of the ticket are hardly worth consid-
ering, as there W II be no trouble to defeat
them.

PRICES OF FUEL.-The following are
the present retail prices of coal and kindEng
wood by the load delivered, and by the
bushel from the groceries, also Of wood
by load and barrel: Soft lump coke, SO per
load of twenty-five bushels; per bushel,
40 cents. Anthracite, $3.50 per ton; so
cents per bushel. Clover Hill lump, $3.50

per bushel are shamefully disproportioned
to the price per load. Only the poor buy
coal by the bushel, and they are the VIC
