MIR. EVANS CARD.

We have read Mr.. EVANS card with all
his own statements, and are sorry for him.
1t were better unpublished. There is no.
thing IN it that lightens the weight of pub
lie opinion, which has already condemned
him. His case should be a warning to all
those who introduce personalities into po-
litical struggles, and which must surely
'sreturn to plague the INVENTOR That
man in his position should resort to pub
fishing boy as liar is a pitiful sight,
and will long be remembered. That he
has endorsed the sentiments and sane
toned the circulation of the libellous card
against, Col. SKINNER does not change
our published opinion Of the author, and
those who were willing to aid in it's circu-
lation.
AS to his complaints about this paper
shounding him for seven long years" he
mistakes his Importance altogether. There
is nothing in Mr.. EVANS political infu-
ence that would attract hostility, and per-
sonally we have none to him. If we had,
his present plight would disarm u.s. He has
grieved his friends and gratifed his enc
mics. And all for what?
WHAT FRAUDS THEY HAV PER-
PETRA TED.
The Conservative Committee and work
ers are upturning things from the bottom
as they have never done at any election
before. To show how the Radicals have
quietly increased the vote when not watch
ed, WE may cite that some negroes living
on the edge of town have been voting in
side for years. Our men, last Tuesday,
had a surveyor and the corporation line
run, and at one point threw outside ten
negro voters, who have been voting at the
Staunton municipal election for years.
For the last time-we have done it SO
often that we are sick Of it, we deny that
this journal has ever said that the present
mem bers of the Council were Corrupt or
dishonest" and our files are at the service
Of such men as wish to contradict us with
the evidence. We repeat it this time for
the single reason that any Councilman who
runs with the Radicals shall have no
excuse of vindication Of himself but shall
have for his object to help the Radicals
against the white Conservatives of Staun-
ton.
We have said many things against this
Council but never that they we're thieves.

The opposition seems to be in distress
ed condition of self-appreciation. Mr.
Bickie says it is not the Radical party SO
much that is sought TO be beaten as to
crafty personal dislike of himself. Mr.
Ker says the cry against Bickle is only
raised to cover the assault on himself, and
Mr.. Evans thinks all this smoke is made
with no other object than to run him out
of the Council. What a conceited lot they
all aEel Why, when the boys are rushing
to the polls on the 25th, they will hardly
know whether the nazie on the opposition
ticket is Bickle, Grant, Belknapor Hughes

MOnlsOueIy AuNeTLAseIsJ
The London Market ReVie1O, of July
first, contains lull proceedings OF the
corporation of foreign bondholders, and
especially with reference TO the bonds of
the Alabama and Chattanooga railroad.
Resolutions were adopted providing for
the immediate collection OF sufficient
funds TO meet all expenses, and to comply
with the orders Of the court, thus ena-
bling them to take absolute control Of
the road aud put it in first-cIass condi-
ton. All the acts Of Mr.. Susgge, their
com missioner to this State, were rati-
fed, and the settlement he made with
the governor and State commissioners
ratified. We have no doubt that on the
first Of September they will pay into the
United Ststes court the sum REQUIRED,
and that they will soon return to our
State ali the Endorsed aud straight bonds
Of the Alabama and Chattanooga rail-
road no " held by them, thus forever re-
lieving Alabama Of that great source OF
trouble.
