rupt him, and that only the brutal ele-
ments Of the crowd would seek such dis
turbance. And so he defiantly spoke on,
amid almost constant interruption, to Il e
end of his speech.
We took some pains to ascertain from
what source the chief disturbance came,
and, with the exception or one Irishman
who was constantly yelling out his objur-
cations against " carpet-baggers," poor
fool, to think that an American cit-
zen has no business on Virginia soil,)
almost the entire interruption came from a
few young men IN the street directly in
front Of the speaker. They were mani
testify those who would be improved in
their manners, if not morals, by " smelling
little gunpowder," thing that no one of
them did during the war, except as the
smoke from some battle field may have
drifted in the direction of their "anxious
mammas." They had " Greeley on the
BRAIN" and but little of anything else
on it or in it. Had half dozen resolute
men taken them across their knees and given
them the chastisement they deserved, the
dsgraceful part of the meeting would have
ended.
Near the close of Mr.. Gilmer's speech,
which we publish in full, he succeeded
in securing something like the marked attcn-
ton from the audience, to which, under the
circumstances, he was justly entitled. Had
Col. Cameron been present, he would have
demanded full and fair hearing for his op.
ponent in debate, and his failure to meet
his engagement in no way prejudiced Mr..
Gilmer's rights. He had the rostrum to
himself, and the right of those who did not
wish to hear him, acas simply TO leare ht
| ground 10 those icIo did. The purpose to
remain, and, il possible, break UP the
meeting, was dastardly one, and deserves
the censure of every good citizen. Had il
been Conservative meeting, and any sim
liar disturbance been provoked by Repub
leans, white or black, we would have
moved for their instant arrest and commit
ment to the lookup for the night, with the
heaviest pains and penalties to follow after
wards. Rowdyism should not be permit

fact that it gets on fine clothes and struts
in juvenile importance, is the very reason
why it should be nipped in the bud

TIE MEETING LAST NIGHT.

The meeting which was held last night in
front Of the City Hall, on Capitol street,
was one of the most disgraceful exhibitions
Of rowdyism we ever had the modification
TO witness. The Enquirer characterizes it
as one of the most remarkable and
amusing meetings ever held in the city,
If the editor of that journal derived any
" amusement" from the disreputable scene,
he was in a different vein of humor from
what most Thoughtful men should have been
in under the circumstances. We confess to
a deep sense of humiliation and shame that
such an exhibition of ruffianly conduct
should have taken place within half stones
throw of the Governors mansion, and on
almost the identical ground made glorious
and ever memorable in history for the great
worth and brilliant renown of Virginia
craftsmanship in the past.
Let us briefly give the facts. A free dis
cnssion of the political issues now before
the country had been arranged to come off
al the City Hall, in which Colonel VIM. 4.
Cameron, of Petersburg, and the Hon.
John II. Gimer, of this city, were to take
part-the former advocating the claims of
Nr. Greeley, the latter those of General
Grant. All the preliminaries of this mu-
tual discussion had been satisfactorily ar.
ranged by gentlemen having the interests
of their respective candidates in charge.
For some reason or other, Colonel
Cameron did not put in an appear
ance, and Mr.. Gilmer hal the rostrum
to herself. A large audience was gathered
in front of the western portico of the hall /,
composed Of many oronr first citizens. Mr..
Gilmer regretted the absence of his antago-
mist, and generously prodered his place to
any gentleman who might desire to fill Col
onel Cameron's part ofthe programme. The
proifer was twice repeated, but no one came
forward. Mr.. Gilmer then commenced his
speech, but had hardly proceeded
TO the end of its first sentence,
before an interruption took place which
showed deliberate purpose on the
part OF some in the crowd to break
mp the meeting. Shouts for Greeley, groans
for the speaker, cat-calls, insulting epthets,
and all manner of disgaceful interruptions
followed. Mr.. Gilmer was the first man
to catch the meaning of all this, and def
antly hurled back the scorn and contempt
he felt for such distuibers Of the public
peace. They could neither intimidate him
nor put him down; he had come there to
speak, and speak he would, in spite Of all
the dogs that wore Greeley collars. He
was sure that no gentleman would inter-

THE oARpEr-BAG GOVERNMENTS.

General lmboden, in the brief speech
which he made last night from the portico
of the City Hall, gave as reason why no
native-born Virginian should support GEN
eral Grant for reelection to the Presidency,
that he was responsible for the earpet-bag
governments of the South, which had plum
dered the people to the tune of two hum
bred and Fifty millions since the war. We
have high respect Of General /. and dis
like very much to pick bone with him,
personally, on any question. Bat justice
to the cause demands that this overblown
Greeleyite bubble should be punctured be-
fore it swells to any greater or more impal-
pable dimensions. 1t has been the chief wall
and burden of the Greeley campaign thus
far in Virginia. We thought it altogether
to " thin to impose upon any one. But
the bubble is blown from remarkably tena-
cious suds, and holds the mendacious breath
with which it is inflated so well, that the
puncturing process il the only alternative
left us.
We do not propose TO insult the intelli-
gence Of our readers ny showing that Cen

THE CREDIT MORILIER LIBEL

The supporters of Mr.. Greeley profess
to depreeate personalities. But their whole
campaign has degenerated into one of mere
personal villification. Witness their
repeated ISLANDERS upon the President,
new one being invented as fast as each old
one is exploded. Witness their reckless
assaults upon every friend of the Admins
tration.
Of all the calumnies of the campaign
none exceed in malice or in absurdty the
Credit MobRier story. 1t was first given
currency through New York paper
known everywhere as conduit for SLAM
der and an organ of black mail. The story
is that on the back Of an envelope there
was memorandum by Cakes Amcs regard
ing certain shares in the Credit Mobiler
which built the Pacific railroad, and the
manner in which he was to dispose of them.
1t isn't even pretended that the shares were
delivered-it is only claimed that it was a
memorandum of what Oades Ames
thought of doing. Nobody has seen the
memorandum or the envelope. We are
simply asked to believe that there are such
things upon the assertion of notorious
libeller.
But this is small part of the absurdity
Of the story. 1t is pretended that 1900
shares went to Mr.. Blaine, 1000 to Mr..
Boutwell,, 1000 to Mr.. Colfax, and so on,
30, 900 shares in all being thus divided
between thirteen men. The par value of
each share was 500. The actual value at
the time of this alleged transaction was
$500. That is, according to this story,
$3.50, 900 were given to Mr., Blaine, $780,
900 to Mr.. Boutwell,, the same amount to
Mr.. Colfax, and so on through the list,
making an aggregate of a7,s00.000 divided
between thirteen men for their influence in
behalf of the Pacific railroad Could any,
thing be more monstrously ridiculous?
Speaker Blaine, Senator Wilson and Mr..
Dawes have each made the most explicit
denial Of the story. Mr.. Boutwell, is shown
to have voted against every act which he is
alleged to have been bribed to support.
But need we ask for any denial or search
for any record against story so stupend-
ously absurd on its face? An envelope
which nobody has seen, containing pencil
memorandum not of anything that had
been done, but of something that some
body proposed to do, and that something q
bride of nearly eight millions to thirteen
men--could the absurdity of campaign
calumny further go?

eral Grant has had nothing to do with these
"carpet-bag governments, social ed, y in the
South, and that forty Mr.. Greeleys, were
they all elected Presidents at once, could
have nothing to do with them, except to
see that the laws of the Federal govern
ment were properly enforced in the States
where they exist. They are State govern
ments whose officers have been elected by
the people, and neither President Graft
nor Mr.. Greeley, however potentially
clothed with executive power, can interfere
with them in the exercise OF any of their
official duties. They are responsible fer
the exercise of their several functions to the
people Of their respective States, and to
no other power in the known political
universe, if we understand the constitu-
tional forms of government under which we
live. President Grant has been powerless
TO remedy these evils, and any other presi-
dent would have been equally SO.
Besides, two Of the worst and most noto-
rious Of all these carpet-bag swindlers, in
the shape of Southern State Governors, are
now on the stump for Greeley, and moving
earth and heaven almost to secure his cleo
ton. We refer to Warmoth, of Louisiana,
and Scott, of South Carolina, who have
done the principal part of the stealing OF
which General lmboden complains. But
more, and even worse than all this, he
might name the Governor of our own State
as one of the carpet-bag" officials falling
under the anathema of General Imboden.
Had Governor Walker "a third of this class
of staunch supporters Of MIR. Greeley and
his political friends been permitted to have
their own way in the management of oul
financial affairs, Virginia would have beer
swindled to tune that would have maat
the peculations OF Scott and Warmotf
seem as insignificant larcenies. We refet
to the compound interest swindle, by
which, as we have repeatedly shown, oyel
seventy millions of dollars would have
been jerked out Of the taxpayers pockets
Of this State, to go into the capaciou'
wallets of the Wall street Shylocks, in
whose interest the funding bill was gottel
up by our "carpet bag government
With Walker, Warmoth, and Scot
stumping their respective States for Gree
ley, the less General Imboden SAYS of thei
political corTuptions the better.
