The "StrarGe Affair"


Some time since We pabiished para
graph that had been communicated to the
Lynchburg Firgiman charging the Dis
patch with another design than those which
had been attributed to it. 1t was false as
the others were but sur publication Of it
without comment excited the Wings sur
prise.
Well, that ulserior design as interpreted
Lv us, was the support of the charter for an
extension of the Valley railroad from Salem
TO TIE Tennessee tine. We said nothing
b cause that Was u matter for reflection for the
MALONE worshippers. TWAS well worthy Of
their consideration. And why: Is there
any more etlectual mode of making the peo'
PIE of Richmond profoundly indifferent as
to whether that charter should be granted OIL
not than that Of denying them intercourse
with the people on the Atlantic, Mississippi
and Ohio line? CARROTS rosd could moi
treat them worse. Nay, it would do them
some good; for through that we could sci
express communication with the people in
Southwest Virginia, whereas we have none
now!
The Wing has lately shot OF its RIPLEY
gun at the extension" The best gun ii
can fire is to give our people the benefits Of
8 real express. 1t will readily see that this
is no strange affair, after all.

Missouri RepubIicanism.

The st. Louis Democrat, ultra Repub'i-
can, publishes significant editorial, 10
which it urges upon the straightout Republic
cans TO favor what Is called the peoples
movement. in order to defeat what is styled
the Bourbon Democracy. This is a gooo
sign, and encourages the idea that parties are
getting very much mixed up. Like Mr..
HARpcAsrLE's servants, they have lost their
places.
II the straight Republicans bad power
there would he no dresm of seeking the de-
feat Of Inc Democracy by indirection. And
will the peoples movement help the Repuh'
licans? That is the question. They are too
weak to wage fight, and hope by joining
another party to cripple the Democrats.
Wei. cripple ihec: what then? Will that
cnure TO the benefit OF Republicans! Far
from il. The viclors will have the spoils,
and the Republicans may look on, hungry
and thirsty enough, but will hardly get
enough to satisfy either hunger or thirst.
But the Democrats are hard TO kill.
The fact is the country is tired of the old
parties and old wars, and there must be
great change of parties aud men before there
can be rest and peace. Things are greatly
changed. The tastes the peop!eare altered
along with the situation and circumstances OF
The country. ThcWcst has grown and IL grow
ing rapidly, and there must be the deposit
of power. Its s.rensth ncccssitates new con-
ditlons of parties. The Northeast is weak
ening constantly, and with all her undue
weight in the Uuicd States Senate, cannot
hope to be so potent in national legislation
il she has been.
As we have before said, the change will
not be for our disadvantage any more than it
will be for that o; the nation. 1t must come
sooner or later. and this doubtful state OF
things in Missouri encourages the hope OF
its early accomplishment
We like to SEE the working Of these natu-
raj causes. 1t will do the country good.

ard thlnkin" il might interest some of your

myself was concerned. We were on the

called ne over. and advised me earnestly not

TO the Editors Of The Dispatch
In referring tod ~ ediloralIy TO my cor.
rcclion OF an erroneous statement IN an artl-
Gle under the caption Of "Gcneral Grants
WilI,' relative to the rejection by the Senate
Of the United States al one Of the three per-
sons nominated by Grant for Commissioners
of the District Of Columbia. you seem 10
have misunderstood the tcuor Of my CON-
munica'ion. TO nuke the matter plain to
your readers I will rcstac the ease:
Alexander Il. Shepherd is the name of the
person who was nominated by the President
and rejected by the Senate, and he is also tic
same person whom Grant appointed Coy
cruor TO succeed Henry ID. Cl okc, and whom
Congress IeSislated cut Of the Executive
office of The District. (You published the
above. facts in connection with arthur X.

= he Primary Election,

We had 10 other object in view in writing
the articles that have appeared in this psper
on the subject Of the primary election than
to secure Z calm. careful. and honest recon-
sidcration Of the question. The City Com
mittec is now performing that duty; and Of
how important or how unimportant, will he
the changes that will be made in the plan.
If the original plan he adhered 10, and we
could accomplish any gcoG purpose by fur
thcr discussion Of It, we should not hesitate
to hold it up for public condemnation. But
we cannot accomplish any good purpose by
opposing il after it has been recOnSidered.
The committeeman are not likely to Change
their minds. and we are as little likely oaSk
them again TO do SO. Thcplan Iu>t be put i'll
to operation, and the people mus, do the best
they can with it and under is workings. If,
however, both she public and the committee
do not find out in the end that we were
right, then we shall find ourselves greatly
mistaken and that the mai2rity Of the COM
mittce were wiser than The minority. Let
Us all hope for the best
BY the way, the Enquirer speaks of the
minority Us consisting OF " two or three " re-
frFctorv rlcmbcls, and goes on 10 say that
pnc of these had behaved in ri unsccm'y
manner. We have made no reference, we
believe, to the votes taken in committee.
But these assertions justify us in stating that
the vote on reconsidering the whole plan
stood twelve to ten, according to our inior-
nation, and the vote on adopting the plan
originally stood twelve to nine or Ten.
Amongst the earnest opponents Of the COM
mttee'> plan we're some Of the very beStnsn
on the committee. Tho Enquirer can no
doubt get their names where it got its infor'
nation OH the subject.
But, we repeat, no good cas come of fur
iher discussion of the subject. Let the com
mittee be as jealous in working out good re-
suits under their plan as they were in secur
ing its adoption, and the third district NAY
be redeemed next November.

THE KRMpER- MosHY LETTERS-AN AUTHo-
RITATIyE STATRMENT.-I our issue of the
2Slh we stated that the charge that Governor
Walker had started the "tempest" was un-
true. 1t was intended TO add, "as Mr.. We'd
terDurn declares" but the words were in-
advcrter,ly omitted. OF course, we were
speaking by information, as we had no per-
so.al knowledge of the matter, and being
unsuspicious in the case We accepted MIR.
Weddcrburn's telegram as full denial OF
Governor Walkers connection with it, not
observing that the language was so framed
as TO make it merely an abnegation of his
authority for the statement OF facts, and
not Of his connection with their publication.
Some of our contemporaries having been
a. 50 led into mistakes, and having found out
.he true stale Of the case, we feel constrained
to give it in justice to all concerned, and
more particularly to Colonel MoSby. The
Bedford Sentinel, and perhaps other papers,
have referred 10 Mr., Wedderburn as "a
| friend OF Colonel Mosby's," leaving the in
| ference strong that he procured the publica-
| ton by his friend" This we know to be a
! mistake. Mr.. Wedderburn is not now and
never has been either a personal or political
| friend OF Colonel Mosbv. He is, however, a
strong friend of Governor Walker, who first
brought to Colonel Mosby's attention the
! articles in the Wing in relation to the Scott
| letter, and suggested that they demanded a
| reply from him. This Colonel Mosby de-
clned to make unless Governor kemper
himself should come out in opposition to
him.
| Colonel Mosby did not see Mr.. Wedder-
| burn until after the letter was prepared for
| publication, which letter was read to him by
| Mr.. Wedderburn. While not receding from
| nything he has stated in this connection,
Colonel Mosby had nothing to do with the
| publication of the letter, having positively
declined to furnish Governor Walker and
Mir. Wedderburn with the letters of Governor
| kemper for that purpose. He expressed him
self warmly, it is true, under sense of wrong
at the taunts of the Wing, but amid it, all
honorably preserved has good faith, and will
come out of this " fiasco" very creditably.
Indeed, Colonel Mosby has, in a chivalrous
spirit, and even regretting the trouble, agreed
with friend of Governor Kemper, from
Richmond, to give up the letters to the Gov
ernor for such use as he chooses to make Of
them. This agreement was made in this city
last night.-Aterandria Sentinel, Goth.
