Perhaps they are themselves suspiciou
of the cause OF the repeated defeat
which have followed their most gal
liant struggles. Perhaps they are con
vlnced Of their own misapprchensioni
regarding the hard.moncy men Of Tho
East Anyway, as faithful Democrats
they have wheeled into line, and they
will be as loyal as New York itself tC
the declared will of the party, and to
the work OF resumption with which
Gov. Tilden will make his administra

them their side.arms and the honors Of
war; They have already melted
into the swelling ranks of the Democ-
racy, and follow the flag.
After victory will come the harvest
ing of its fruits, will come the construc-
ton Of new and better public policy.
This will be work as great as far
reaching as that of Jefferson at the

DEAR Brother Curtis Yours of
July 26 is before me about rumors
which you have heard 10 regard to my
going over to tho aRebels."
First, / would state that have tried
to fulfill nv whole duty in my work
here, and have not at any time neg.
lected my mission duties. No man Is
more interested In all that pertains TO
the best welfare of the colored people
and their highest development. SO, |
have tried TO conduct myself fand teach
my people that is their Christian duty
to make friends with the white people
South, among whom they live. This
can be done without sacrificing any
principle of manhood in fact, the south
ern people do not ask the colored peo-
pie to compromise o single right. Butwe
who live here sec the great Importance
of full and manly reconciliation be-
tween the two races. This can be done
by dividing the colorcd vote between
the two parties. As soon as II is thus
divided they will cease to be an object
Of ostracism and bone of contention.
Both parties will then treat them with
due respect. Take Virginia, and the
white people Of this State are as friend
ly TO the colorcd people as they are
anywhere in America the most friend
ly feelings exist between the two races.

If you have, | pray you pause before

A self-righteous New Hampshirite,
who estooms himself righteous above
all other men, prefers to utilize the
negro as Radical voter rather than
TO see him free and happy with bread
enough for his family. He addressed
letter found below TO "colored
brother" named Dunjee, at Richmond,
Va, in which he gives the combined
standard idea ofhypocrite, demagogue
and knave common TO New England
when dilating on the negro question.
Those men who seldom see a negro,
and who are always foremost to lecture
those who have grown up with them,
in relation to their treatment, presume

A Dying Dodge.

Says the Cincinnati Gazette, August 5tIl:-
The Confederate House Committee on Bank
ing and Currency agreed yesterday, to report
bill to repeal the resumption clause of the
Resumption Act. The time and manner OF
doing this are significant. The House has re-
solved to adjourn next Monday. Not till the
time was so near as to make action on it inn
possible in the Senate. even il not i'll the House,
did the committee consent to report this
And when it did, it showed by the large bal
ance in its favor that it could have reported SO
at any time. aud that the pretense of Il nsajori-
ty OF the Democrats being stlenuously oppos-
ed to it was false. The base of the Demo-
cratic party is confidence in the ignorance of
the people; but this fraud is too thin to cheat
anybody,
The repeal Of this clause would carry out
the trick of the st. Louis platform, which was
to run with the hare of initiation, and follow
with the hounds OF resnmp ion. The docu-
ment declared for repeal of tile resumption
clause as All obstacle to resumption. The re-
peal of this clause would leave standing the
provision for unlimited increase of the hank
issues, without any provision or promise of re-
sumption to restrain thes:. That is the way
repeal OF the resumption clause would remove
all obstable to imitation. AS to this report, at
this Stage, it is as shallow trick rs Iiden's
trick of reform.

The Republican Committee.

From the n. Y. Times, 5fq.
The first regular meeting of the Executive
Committee Of the Republi' an National COM
mittee was held yesterday in the rooms at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, and the session continued
throughput the entire day. There were pres
ent Of the committee Hon. Zacharah Clland-
ler OF Michigan. Hon. A. B. Cornell, of New
York; Hon. W. Ii. kemble of Pennsylvania ;;
Hon. Marshall Jewe i, Of Connecticut; Hon.
w. E.. Chandler, of New Hampshire; Hon.
John NJ Forbes, OF Massachusetts; Hon. Ell
ward F. Noyes, of Ohio: Hon. Will Cum5ack,
of Indiana: Hon. Chauncey l.. Filley, of MIS-
souri, Hon. E. b. Enos of Wisconsin Hon.
John j. Patterson, of South Carol.i.a. and Hou.
S. B. Conover, Of Florida. In addition 10
these gentlemen were mary others equally
distinguished, who were from time to time au-
mtted to the room to make statements con-
corning the condition OF affairs in the several
States. Among these latter was Hon. Thomas
B. Keogh, of North Carolina, Chairman OF
the Republican Committee OF that State, whJ
declared in the most positive terms that since
the excellent local nominations which had
been made the Republicans are as sure to car
ry the old North State this year as they We're
in 1868 and 1872. The other reports from the
South were equally cheering, and Gov. Noyes,
who was forced to leave at p. m. TO take II
train to Buffalo, where he is to speak to- night,
left in excellent humor and with the remark,
1--WE are going to win this tight" From the
Eastern and western SlaLes the reports We're
equally encouraging, and it was conceded by
every one that with proper effort Hayes aud
Wheeler can easily have more than fifty ma
jorty in the Electoral College.
The work of the committee yesterday was
that Of routine only, which is not of general
interest The work Of the campaign was
mapped out, and the needs of the several
States for speakers and documents considered
and determined. 1t was decided that an ac-
tive and earnest campaign should begin Ut
once, and from to day until Nov. the rooms
Of the committee at the Fifth. Avenue Hotel
will be constantly open.

THE VALLEY VIRGINI AN
Staunton, Virginia.


Mr.. Hendricks dates his letter accepting
the Democratic Vice Presidential nomination
at indianapolis, July oath, and issues it at Sar-
atoga Springs, August 4th. Both bis letter
and that of Tlden's had to be submitted to the
National Central Committee of that party for
approval and revision. This is what is usually
called machine politics.
How different with Hayes and Wheeler.
Each wites his acceptance, without seeing the
other, or consulting with committees, and pub
fishes it as the reflection of his own honest sem
timents. And how differently they are receiv
ed by the country. In the case Of Hayes and
Wheeler the letters inspire a quiet, abiding
confidence in the honesty of the authors, their
entire confidence in the honesty of the voters,
and their consciousness that they had at
tempted no deception. With Tilden and Hen
bricks every fair minded man must feel as he
reads the letters, that he is perusing why,
calculating, scheming, insincere documents,
studied out for votes, regardless Of conscience,
patriotism and honesty.
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1876-08-17

One would suppose to hear Tildenites preach
ing reform and denouncng office holders, that
they would repel office as the devil is supposed
group of them on the street, and the eyes Of

they would undergo the eXcruciating humili-
alton Of holding office, if they had a chance
all for righteousness sake however.

The elections in Alabama and Kentucky, on
Monday last, resulted in favor Of the Demo
Gratis, by large major:ties, as was expected.
The Republicans had no regular ticket in either
State. They are organizing for the Presiden-
tial contest, however, when there is more hope
for fair play. Henry Watterson, editor of the
Courier Journal is elected to Congress from
the Louisville district, TO fill q vacancy.

REPUDIATIoN.-The Democratic majority
in the House of Representatives on Saturday,
passed bill for the repeal of the act providing
for specie resumption January, 1879; and to
make the surrender OF the party to the infla-
tionists and reputation seem less total and
unconditional, submitted bill appointing Il
commission to study the financial question,
and make report therefor to Congress by the
18th Of January 1877.

A correspondent writing from New York and
speaking of the supporters Of Tilden in that
city, says: II regret that every voter in the
land could not see for himself who and what
the men are composing a Tammany Hall rati-
ic alton meeting. To my mind all that is bad
in the interest of slavery, hatred of race, in
favor of rum selling, beer drinking, Sunday
breaking, interference Of the Church with the
public schools, etc, ETC., is in favor of Cover
nor Tilden.''
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1876-08-17

Hayes says he will not be candidate for
reelection, should he be elected this time.
He comes out squarely for the one term prin-
ciple. Tilden says he wants a constitutional
amendment providing for only one term. He
knows that this will never be passed. Anotl-
er sham and deception.

The weakest device yet put forth to create
prejudice against Harris, is the false charge
that the VIRGINIAN favors his election. All
that this paper has done, has been to give the

is their exposure that hurts, and not the poll
and not Harris.

Gov Kellogg, of Louisiana, now in New
York, has given reporter his views of the sit
uaton in the South. He declares that one who
is not familiar with Southern life cannot form
the least idea Of the supreme greed for Office
which reigns throughout that section of the
country, and yet he makes the assertion that
the Southern whites have little hope Of carry
ing the general election for the Democrats
The Republicans, Kellogg says, ought to get
Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Florida, and Mississippi Whether they do it
or not, will depend upon tie extent to which
the white sinners are permitted to prosecute
their "plan.'
