The road law, by which the poor laborin2
man is made to work the public roads for the

The Republican party gave the people Of
Virginia the township system, by which each
township levied a tax on property to keep
the roads in order The Democratic party
struck this wise provision out Of the constitu-
ton, and put in its place law by which
property is released frota working the
roads, and the poor man required to take
from his family four or five days; in the year
to keep the reads in good condition. This is
Democratic policy in Virginia.

great difference between doctors and pa

The Democratic party o, Virginia has inn
posed upon the people debt Of $4,000, 900,
to meet the interest on which and the eur
rent expenses Of the State government win
require that the taxes be doubled, or 81 on
the slOo OF real and personal property. This
debt was created principally to construct
railroads, and the appropriations were dissi-
pated by reckless partizans placed in control
OF the corporations. The State, after the
war, held about e2J, 600, 900 Of stock In the
various public improvements commenced BY
the railroad policy, hut the democratic party
has squandered almost every dollar OF 1t.
The Republican party placed in the Constl-
tuition clause prohibiting THE States credit
to all improvements, and thus prevented the
people from being made more thoroughly
bankrupt than they would now be under
democratic policy, but for this wise proSi-
slpn.

Under the operation Of the policy Of the
democratic party in Virginia, tile census OF
1870 show, $4,000 whites who can neither
read nor write. This was the result Of the
operation Of the old Constitution and laws
OF the State. While the masses were thus
doomed to ignorance, this same party made
annual appropriations to the University OF
Virginia ard the Virginia Military Institute,
where poor boy had no chance Of entering.
The Republican party gave the people the
Free School system, and made 1t imperative
that the people should support it. But for
the clause In the Constitution providing for
thls, placed there by q Republican conyen-
tion, we would to-day be without public

The fact that Mr.. Tilden claimed credit for
reducing the taxes in the State OF New York
when he sknew that it was the result OF the
administration Of his predecessor, Gov. Dix,
and Republican ]egislature,is evidence that
he could be guilty Of anything that would
create false impression for his own benefit.
If we judge the man by this one deception,
It shows that he Is utterly unfit for the posi-
ton to which he now aspires-that he is a
fraud and swindler. and that there is nothing
unreasonable in the allegation that he sought
to defraud the Government ont Of revenue le-
gally due 1t. We know that his reform pretense
Is false-the official figures prove 1t. Trying
to avail himself Of this deception, is testimo-
ny that he would resort to any other false
hood to accomplish that end.

Democratic Toleration.

The Petersburg correspondent of the Rich
monl Dispatch Of the I'd inst, under date
Of Sept. Both, has the following paragraph:
An efflgy Of DR.. Jorgensen, one OF the Re-
publican candidates Tor Congress. was last
evening raised to the top Of the pole erected
on Halifax street by the Conservative Club
OF the Sixth Ward. It ia stated that none OF
the members OF the Club had any hand in
raising the effigy, but that il was an inn
promptu business gotten mp by outsiders for
amusement, and to show how JOTgensen
would Ego up" on election day.
The explanation is most too thin. The
history OF the Democratic party OF Peters
burg, is too familiar in Virginia, to seek to
invest 1t with lamb-.ike locility. Men who
can stuff ballot-boxes, beat with clubs and
shoot with pistols legal voters Tor no other
offence than voting the Republican ticket,
are capable Of any outrage. DR.. Jorgensen
is the Republican candidate for Congress in
that district, is gentleman Of character and
culture, but because he is q Republican the
indIgnity shove recorded is cast upon him.
No wonder Petersburg is losing her trade,
and business is stagnant. Men OF capital
and selfrespect can never think Of investing
shelr means and energies In q community
where such spirit is manifested as that
which prompted the ef6gy.

all the different Alphas were represented
and much important business was trans
acted.

spersed with music by the Mendelssohn

After the exercises in the church the
delegates and members of the fraternity
sat down to the convention supper at the
Addison house, where mine host Schoheld
had prepared one of the finest banquets
ever spread in Middlebury. The feast was
enlvened by toasts from the different men,
bers, and everything passed off very pleas
antly.
After supper the members adjourned to
the lodge room near by, and social re-
union was held till the wee ems' hours en-
livened with song and laughter and anec-
dotes. During the convention fraternal
and congratrlatory letters were read from
