National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-07-30

Ex-Governor WALKER was successful
in carrying the primary election for the
nomination of the Conservative party in
Richmond TO be candidate for Congress.
Colonel John H. Guy, his opponent, has &C
cepted the result in a manner which proves
him to be q straightforward and high mind
ed gentleman. Simple as this announce
ment Of q matter Of ordinary political news
may appear, II is nevertheless fraught with
results Of peculiar importance. The OLD
political leaders, including such men as
Messrs. Ould, Crump, Darlington, Mere
dith, and others of like kidney, sustained
Colonel Guy, and the Richmond Wing, the
leading Conservative journal of the State,
also supported him. The main argument
advanced in his behalf was that he is ma.
tive Virginian, and that Walker is a North,
ern man. The success Of the latter proves
that, after all that has been said, the rank
and file of the Conse rvative party are moi
so lost to a sense Of justice as to throw aside
a man who has served them faithfully, al
though at the loss of sclfrespect, merely
because their leaders characterize him as q
carpe; Dagger.

TIE LATE INVESTIGATING COM

THE LATE INVESTIGATING COM
MITTEE-A SCRAP OF HISTORY
Some time ago we printed an abstract
from a letter written by Senator Allison to
a gentleman in this city, in which he said:
% l am sorry that Shepherd was temporarily
" sacrificed, as be has done much for the
" city. He can afford to wait, however, as
" no stain is cast upon his honor or his integ-
"rity by the investigation or report. The
so-called independent journals, which have
been bounding Ex-Governor Shepherd and
endeavoring to make political capital against
the Administration out Of the District Of
Columbia, Immediately and unanimously
questioned the authenticity Of the above ex-
tract and almost pronounced it forgery.
Ample time has passed since then to prove
that fact if it were true, but it stands to this
hour unchallenged and uncontradicted-
the opinion of the chairman Of the investi-
eating committee, that " no stain is cast
Z" upon his honor or his integrity by the
" investigation OF report" The same
journals which have been so swift to GEN.
sure and condemn ask how this letter can
be reconciled with Senator Allison's action
in not having voted for Mr.. Shepherd
confirmation when the nomination was be-
fore the Senate. That is point for Mr..
Allison himself to explain. 1t has nothing
whatever 70 do with the question. But they

A CORRESPONDENT, writing about gambling
at Saratoga, says "Others, besides Norris
sew, drive profitable trade at Saratoga. Fast
horses are trotted up and down Broadway be-
fore the eyes of the guests upon the hotel
piazzas, and many on both sides are Sold
But by far the most speculative and frequently
the most profitable business is what may be
termed a modification of the Georgian or Cir
cassian slave trade. How many daughters are
every season adorned with gay apparel and
made to parade on the hotel piszzRs and in the
parlors OF these great marts Of fashion and
sold-sold to dissipsted youth or hoary age
no matter to whom, provided the buyer is rich!
What melancholy sight is the old stock on
hand, the girls who did not find market five,
four, three or two years ago, and who are still
kept on exhibition In the feeble hope that q
purchaser may yet come. Alas, he comes notl
And If the 6Lass belle does not retire to quiet
old maidenhood at home-an estate as honor
able as any in the world-if you come here
years hence you may see her in her sere and yel'
low leaf, fastened as flower against the wall,
looking on with despair at a succeeding genera
ton, and
.GMournIng the hours that would not last
To shine upon her brief career"
