Joint Discussion in West Virghaia-A
Interesting Campaign EdisOde. &c.,.
Col. II. Kyd Douglas, of Hagerstown,
Md, native of Shepherdstown, address
ed the colored people here this evening on
of committee of colored yo-
ters, who were anxious to hear his views
As to their duty at the coming election.
Some Of the committee voted for demo-
Gratis at the late State election. The
meeting Of colored people took place in
the Baptist Church, which was densely
crowded. The audience was composed
largely of colored men, with some whites
Of both parties. The republicans learn
ing ofthe matter had invited Prof. Brack
ct, OF Harper's Ferry, to be present, and
proposed a joint discussion, which was
agreed to. Col. Douglas opened with a
speech of an hours length. He explain
ed to the colored people the manner of
their emancipation, claiming that it was
brought about by the war and not by the
republican party. He told them how
they had been badly treated by that par
ty through the Freedman's Bank and
freedman's bureau.
Professor Bracket, who is one of the
best speakers in his party in this section
followed in speech of an hour and
half, giving history of the democratic
and republican parties as to the the
constitutional amendments, and the ben
efits the republican party claimed to have
conferred upon them IN -,n ...'.
Col. Douglas closed, claiming that the
republican party had attempted to draw
the color line for political advantage, and
in the end it would be the ruin of the
colored people. He said the republican
party in the North never gave them office.
The interests of the colored people
were identical with the whites among
whom they lived, and from whom they
received employment and support. He
warned them that their greatest enemies
were the carpet-baggers, who were trying
| to make politicians of them.
This was the first meeting of the kind
ever held in this section, and perhaps in
the State. Although the excitement was
great the best feeling prevailed, and no
unpleasant remarks were indulged by the
speakers. A colored Tilden and Hen
bricks club has been organized.

Governor Chamberlain is again dis
counting his own prospects What
Chamberlain fears is that there will not
be "a free election" A good many peo-
pie share this apprehension, but the pre-
vailing impression is that free election
is the thing of all others that the Cover
nor does not want. Certainly he cannot
co nplain that the game is not in his own
hands. He has in his service every de-
partment 1f the State Government, the
entire militia of the State, an unscrupu-
lous United States Marshal and horde
of deputies, a host of Commissioners of
Election, who are themselves candidates
for office, and the President has placed
every available man in the army of the
United States under his orders. More
over, if there is anything more that the
administration or the national Republi-
can committee he has only to ask for it.
Under these circumstances Governor
Chamberlain's whining is simply con-
temptible, and tells the whole story of
his real weakness before the people
whose voice he would stifle. If South
Carolina does not give a Republican ma
jority next Tuesday we question whether
Morton himself would dare advance the
plea that the intimidation of the negroes
made her Democratic.-Phila. Times.

Is COTTON KING.-The London Times
is of the opinion that the demand for cot
ton next year will exceed the supply by
145, 900 bales. Whether this calculation is
based upon prospective demand in be-
half of the rag baby in the United States
next week, or in Consequence of revi-
val in the interest of Borrobyolah-G Gah,
we cannot say, We must leave it entire

IMPORTANT ACCESSIONS TO THE TlLDEN
AND HENDRICKS RANK.
Judge w. B. Kirkhead, of Kentuckey,
formerly Union candidate for Governor of
that State, repudiates Hayes, and has de-
clared for Tilden and Hendricks. In
recent speech he said: ''The Republican
party refused to nominate the only can
didate who had reform record, while the
Dem ocrats on the first ballots gave ma
jority for their pronounced and tried re-
former. Besides, Tilden represents the
spirit of Cancellation, while the Republi-
cans are unfurling the bloody shirt and
creating animosities."

EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
l have recently seen copy OF the
Territorial Auditors late report, in
which he censures the census reports
of the counties of this territory in
pretty severe terms, he says: "Sev-
eral of the counties have failed to
submit reports, while nearly all that
have made any effort to comply
with the law, have presented mass
offigures VIGOROUSLY incorrect" Now
many counties may have SUBMITTED
very incorrect reports, and the Au-
ditor may be fully warranted in using
the language above quoted; but the
report that l submitted in regard to
the census of this county was very
near correct, at least l tried to make
it so.
l was fully conscious of the i'm
portance of that part Of my work,
and spared no pains to make it as ac-
urate as possible. l think no citizen
of this county will be ashamed of the
array of figures that Clarke county
presents in the census of 1875.
l wish to call your attention to a
slight error that appears in the Au-
ditor's report, in regard to the num-
Der of legal voters in this county, in
my report it appears as SOS; in the
Auditors as $50.

NOTES..

The New York Sun would make
the world believe that President
Grant, conscious that his political sun
is drawing toward its western ho:i
son, must needs kick up some sort
of rumpus upon the tidal wave Of
which he may ride again into popu.
lar favor. This time it is war with
each of Spain and Mexico, to which
the public attention is directed.
Now in all reason has not Grant
enough to bear without this: While
there are but few intelligent citizens
