The Loaf OF Bread.

them. d" In this basket there is loaf OF
bread for each of you take it and come
at the same hour every day till God
sends better times"
The children pounced upon the basket,
struggled and fought over the bread, be-
cause each wished to have the largest
and best loaf, and then they went away
without a word of thanks to their
friends.
But Francesca, little girl meanly
though neatly dressed, stood at at DIS
lance, and gratefully took the loaf that
was left in the basket, which was the
smallest, then she kissed the good mans
hand and went quietly home.
The next day the children were just as
naughty and ill behaved, and this time
there was left for poor Francesca a loaf
that was hardly half as large as the 9th.
ers. But when she reached home and
her mother cut the bread, there fell out
a number of new pieces of silver. The
mother was frightened and said, Take
back the money this moment, for it is
certainly in the bread by mistake"
Francesca took it back.
But the kind man said, at is no mis-
take my good child; | had the money
baked in the smallest loaf in order to
reward you. Be always as contented
and yielding as you now are. He who is
conteuted with the smallest loaf, rather
than quarrel for the largest, will receive

ROBERT TooMBS IS learning something
as he gets older. He has quit talking trea-
son and turned his attention to wholesome
subjects. He addressed the people of
Warren county, Georgia, during the recent
term of court, upon the financial and po-
litical troubles. He urged the planters to
abandon at once the pernicious practice Of
borrowing money to make cotton, and to
live within their means, making their pro-
visions at home. He affirmed that the
building of an OK cart was among the lost
arts in Georgia, and that planters gave
as an excuse for buying Northern hay
that grass will not grow in that
state, when it is known to be- fact that,
during the growing season, nearly every
man, woman and child, black and white,
able to work, are laboring hard to kill
grass. His advice to the planters with
regard to the disposition of the present
cotton crop was TO sell enough cotton to
pay their debts at once, and retain at
home the remainder until money was
easier and prices more satisfactory. He
was rejoiced to see the planters organizing
for their protection against the oppressive
exactions of vast railroad monopolies and
the corruptions of designing politicians.

The result of the Iowa election has a
certain significance that ought not to escape
the observation of the managers of railroads
generally. Whatever the concentrated
power that railroad organizations may be
enabled to exert, it is evident enough that
on direct issue with the people they must

the election in Iowa, in particular. turned
upon economical rather than upon political
considerations, and that the people of that

Possibly the railroad masuates who control
these corporations in our own state may
find food for reflection in the results of the
recent elections in Iowa.

A STARTLING DISCLOSURE
THAT is ALL A LIE.
IN THE CIARKSON-FOWLE AFFAIR
COL. HUGHES BORE NO CHAI-


In reply to the startling disclosures
published in tine Conservative papers OF
this city this morning, purporting to be
special telegram made up from the
columns of yesterdays New York
Herald, and charging disqualification
upon Colonel Hughes in consequence OF
his having borne hostile challenge from
John N. Clarkson to Ebert Fowler of
Bristol, Tennessee, we have this to say
That The charge as presented as an absolute
and unqualified falsehood, manufactured
for base and contemplate ends, and first
published in The New York Herald to
relieve Virginia journalism from the igno-
miny of originating such mendacious
political canard.
On the 10th of July 1870, when the al
legged hostile note Gf any, passed between
Ciarkson and Fowler, Colonel Hughes was
in Abingdon, and had nothing whatever
to do with the cartel of that date, passing,
or said to have passed, between the parties
named. 1t is true that on the 18th OF
July, Colonel II. was in Bristol, and acted
as Carksons friend to get a withdrawal of
the offensive language used, or said to have
been used, by Fowler, but " hen he found
that the latter would neither withdraw nor
fight, he left for his home in Abingdon,
and no hostile message was borne by him
from or to either party. What was done
afterwards by Clarkson was without Col
onel Hughes knowledge or con-
sent, as he would have re-
fused, under any circumstances, to
bear hostile note to a man declaring
beforehand that he would not fight. 1t
would have been boys play to have done
50, and peremptory challenge would
have secured no advantage to his principal
whatever, after an unqualified refusal to
fight. 1t would have been mere buster
and bravado to cowards-a demonstration
which Colonel Hughes is wholly incapable
of making.
Whoever the author Of the dispatch to
the New York Herald may be. if he knew
anything at all about the matter of which
he telegraphed, he must or should have
known that Colonel Hughes did not bear
the hostile note Gf any passing between
the parties. All he had to do, to set him
self right on this point. was to enquire OF
Fowler or GARRISON, either Of whom would
have so assured him. Mr.. Hughes con-
nection with the affair, on the 18th, was a
friendly one, in which the withdrawal
of offensive language was sought,
and not hostile meeting. This
Is all there is to this tremendous affair,
of which such Geographic display has
been made by our contemporaries. We
brand the author of this caaard with a
deliberate purpose to misrepresent the
facts in the case, or with such criminal
neglect to inform himself of the exact
facts in the matter as to disqualify him
to act as a reporter for any other news
paper than the New York Herald.

A CONSERVATIVE tract speaking of
Colonel Hughes, says, "a man of con-
coded ability, he has been unwise in his
life." Granted. But happily for him, the
period Of ''unwisdom" came in his youth.
Age and experience have brought wisdom,
from which his countrymen may now profit.
Just the reverse with Raleigh T. Daniel
and his associates, whose 'unwise" period
comes in their latter days! H..

THOSE citizens of Virginia of Northern
or foreign birth, who feel impelled to adj
here to the political faith in which they
were reared, and to support the party
whose measures they deem best calculated
to promote the public good, to wit, Repub-
licans, are styled in the tracts issued by the
Conservative state committee as "the low
and wretched aspirants for political power
and pelf that since the war have swarmed
upon us from the North" And again
-"they are worthless, in fact and
effect, and are, ONE AND ALL, enemies
of the public veal" We are further told
that ''the noble race that has SO long peo-
pied and ruled Virginia should not be ex-
lied to make room for freedmen and BAN
dMi." All this would have applied just
as well to Walker and Mines four years
ago-when they attempted to lay hands
on the state government" as it does to
Ramsdell to-day, who is their peer in
everything that makes man, and holds
views identical with those they then pro-
fessed. Yet we see Messrs. Walker
and Mines lending their voices to
swell the chorus which denounces
Ramsdell as 'bandit," the associate
of "miscreants and traitors" and the
like. We are sure that there is not one
man in hundred of the Northern men in
the state whose cheeks are not crimsoned
with shame at this painful exhibition.
