s'he State Journal and Hon. Frank
Hereford.
The !&atc journal prides itself on its
veracity; even vouching for the veracity Of
of its correspondents. 1t makes some
statements 10 relation to Hon. Frank
Hereford, in its issue Of the 18th inst,
which we shrll not violate the amenities
ofjournalism by calling BY their proper
names, but which duty to our party, our
principles, and Mr.. Hereford as thenoui-
nee Of our party. require US 10 dcnounce
as entirely incorrec. aud uDfounded.
The journal says. "Mr. Hereford is q
salary grabber." The Journal, lift knows
anything about the matter, knows that is
notso. NJ. Hereford did not vote for

bill, remained in the Treasury until i, vas
turned over to the school fund OF this State
The Jo@aal says, "No, he did not like
many other member Of Congress, make q
clean breast by returning the stolen mo.
ney." Mr.. Hereford voted for bill re.
guiring this money to be returned to the
Treasury, but that was defeated. He
voted also for the bill repeating the salary

POLITICAL NOTES.


There was q disturbance on Saturday between
two factions Of colored men at political meeting
in yorktown, Va Several shots were fred, two
OF them taking effect, causing painful, but not
dangerous, wounds
The Little Rock (Arkansas) Republican has
standing offer for the past two years to pay 81 900
for evidence, in q single instance, where South
en white man has ever been punished as the law
directs for killing q negro. The offer remains
untaken.
A dispatch to the New York Republic from New
Orleans says: "The Democratic dispatches sent
hence as to the laWIessDess Of Federal troops are
totally destitute Of foundation, being mAnufac-
tured for the Northern political market. Chagrin
at the presence Of these troops is the sole
for the lies furnished to the Associated Press
agents. Let this be borne in mind by your
readers"
The Cincinnati GGSeffe says "As the Repubh
can party nov contains all the elements that eau
be gathered toresist the Democratic party IT mot
likely that 1t will disband and discard its proud
record for the chances Of reconstruction upon
single, narrow issue; nor that, in the face Of 50
serious contest It will split itself into fragments
in order to indulge in the diversion OF single ideas
or side issues The next battle for the control Of
the Government is to be fought between the Re
publican and the Democrats parties We can
not believe that when this issue shall be squarely

The Sunday Herald Of yesterday says: "The
editor Of the Sunday Herald has been Demo-
crat ever since it became apparent that THE
REPUBLICAN and its party were seeking to
elevate the negro at the expense of the white
man. He earned his right to freedom Of
opinion in the late civil war, which he entered
in 1851, not to free the negro, but to maintain
the Union, and he has freely exercised that
right ever since. He doubted the propriety Of
Lincoln's proclamation freeing the slaves, be-
Heyfpg that emancipation should be gradual
He was totally opposed to comforting the suf-
frage upon the ignorant freedmen; he was op-
posed from beginning to end to the villainous
reconstruction policy Of the Radical party,
with its sequence of carpet-bsg robbery; he
was and is opposed to. the whole civil rights
and enforcement legislation, and to the cen
tralizing and despotie tendencies of that cor
rupt organization" Hip hip And our CO.

TIE friends of Mr.. Barbour, in the
Eighth district of Virginia, are quite san
guine of his election over General Hunton.
OF course this will very greatly depend
upon his ability to poll the full Republican
strength in his favor. General Grant re-
ceived 9,629 votes in that district in 1872.
General Hunton received II, 7S2 votes. If
RIr. Barbour obtains the full Grant vote it
win only be necessary for him to draw if
teen hundred to two thousand votes from
Hunton to insure his election. More than
these are counted upon we understand in
Alexandria, Fairfax, Culpeper, Orange,
Madison and Rsppahannock. Fsuquier
and LOudOun are expected to add consid-
erably to the vote Of Mr.. Barbour. Under
these circumstances it appears to be the
duty of the Republicans to throw a solid
vote for Barbour, as they may be able
thereby to defeat HuntOn and carry demon
sliEation into the ranks of the enemy. To
this end let every Republican vote be cast
for Barbour.

THE SLAVES TO BE PAID FOR

THE SLAY YES TO BE PAID FOR
Since r. N. T. Hunter, of Virginia,
startled the country with the bOldness of
his proposition that the ex-slaveholders of
the South are entitled to pay from the
General Government for the loss of their
slave property, the Southern people have
been engaged in discussing the proposition.
As we have already explained, lists of their
slaves are being prepared, with the hope
that the Democratic party will some time
or another get control of the Government,
when it is reasonable to suppose this class
of claims will be paid. A valued CORE
spondent in Virginia, abiding to this SUBJ
ject, writes TO US as follows:
PORTSMOUTH, VA, October 30, 1874.
Tsths Editor Of the HatfOaaI Republican:
SIR: In a communication written by me some
ten days since, announced that one of the
reasons why the bulk Of the white men in the
South acted in concert with the Democratic
party was, that in the event of that party's
success, the Southern portion would be the
controlling power, and would demand payment
for the slaves made free by the war.
Ny statement has been questioned, and
have been called upon to name some prom
inent Southern Democrat who proclaims such
ideas. at the time made my statement did
not say the Democratic leaders publicly advo-
Gated the payment, but do now say that the
ablest and most prominent Democrat in this
Second Congressional district Of Virginia, Col
onel D. J. Goodwin, does openly assert that the
Democrats viii win in the next national con
test, and that he (Godwin) and all other South
ern gentlemen whose slaves were made free
by the war will receive pay from the National
Government for their loss, and that the Demo.
cratic party could not refuse them this justice.

THE NEW DEMOCRATIC ORGAN

When Mr.. Greeley died and the young
men specially trained by him obtained con-
troll Of the paper they particularly informed
the country that they would strictly carry
out the ideas of its founder. Less than
two years have passed, and their fidelity to
him and his ideas is told in the following
extract from a New York paper on Satur-
day last: % Friends and admirers of the late
''Mr. Horace Greeley may be interested to
''know that large sum of money has been
''paid over to the Tribune by Mr.. Tilden,
