EDITORS OF VINDICAToR-Gentzemen ::
Il desire to say, through the medium Of
your paper, to many friends who have so
licited me to announce myself as candi-
date for Congress in this District, that,
whilst | thank them for their regard thus
expressed, my engagements are such that
it will be impossible for me to canvass the
District-in a great part of which 1 am
a stranger, and that, therefore, must de-
cline to yield to their wishes. 1t will af-
ford me pleasure to do all that I can, with
in the sphere of any influence which NAV
have, to secure the election of any gentle
man nf character who may be nominated
by the approaching District Convention.
Respectfully, &C.,

THE SEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL


The pot is boiling in this district just
now, but the Petersburg "News" is mis-
taken in the supposition that there is any
movement for an independent candidate
It it a free fight by Conservatives be-
tween the friends of Judge HARRIS, the
incumbent, and those voters who want
their own favorite in his place. 1t will be
all over when the Convention is held and
decides. There are three men from Au-
gusta named: JOHN ECHoLs (who in a
card elsewhere declines), and those two
gallant soldiers and able men, JAMES II.
SKINNER and JAMES BUMGARDNEK, JR.
s. V. SoUTHALL, of Albemarle, and
CHAs. O'FERRALL, JOHN T. HARRIS and
JOHN PAUL, of Rockingham. Not one
of the gentleman named would fail to re-
ceive the Conservative vote of Augusta If
he receives the nomination.

Where is Bristow? By-the-by, not Only
was Grant inimical to Bristow, the Great
Reformer of his cabinet. but SO was the
Republican party at Cincinnati. He was
the only Reformer before the Cincinnati
Convention. and out of 73s votes cast there,
he only got 122, and the Convention had
hardly adjourned before Grant commenced
making the reformers, in all departments,
walk the plank. "Let no innocept man
escape!' That is the result of has promises.
Can you vote for Hayes simply on his pro-
misses? Would you not rather have from
politician aspiring to the Presidency one
act of reform than ten promiAs.
But look at his company! Men are
judged by the company they keep-,aosci-
tur sociis. Would man whose advisers
and hackers are James g. Blaine, Cameron,
Morton and all that sort be likely to do
anything on the side of reform. Look at
the history of the party which he represents!
Where is Schuyler Colfax, who was Vice
President of the United States? Remem-
Der that Hays stands on the Cincinnati
platform, and he, who by a well-considered
letter Of acceptance endorses every plank
in the platform and endorses Grants ad-
ministration, has but one outlet of escape,
and that is to get off the platform while
the train is moving, like Mr.. VanBuren.
WHAT DOES HAYES ENDORSE?
Schuyler Colfax, the Vice President of
the U. S., accepted a bribe,. and then lied
about it, for a man who will steal will lie.
Columbus Delano, one of Grants political
advisors, left the Cabinet in disgrace, and
the only man who had the cheek to give
him a certificate Of character was U. S.
Grant [Applause]. Then Richardson, the
Secretary Of the Treasury, had to walk the

The New York Graphic of yesterday has an
article In which its correspondent "Gath"
undertakes with much of plausibiIlty, to
Identity Thomasseu, the author OF the
Bremerhaven disaster, with Alexander III.
Keith, jr., who was connected with the con-
spiracy which ended In the assassination of
PRESIDENT Lincoln. In 1861 the federal ship
ping at City Point was destroyed by a
tremendous explosion, the Internal machine
used TO that end by John Maxwell being
Ike that afterwards used at Bremerhaven,
and having been seen by Keith, or Thomas
sen, then within the confederate lines.
There is every probability that Keith blew
up vessels with his theological torpedo and
obtained the insurance on them. He was
also engaged with DIR. Blackburn in the at
tempted Introduction of yellow fever from
Halifax into the United States shortly be-
fore the close OF the war. There is a very
great amount OF circumstantiaI evidence
addueed in support Of the position taken by
HGath."

Here is another instance of picayune econ
omy. The House Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds have recently con-
sidered the Senate bill appropriating the
small sum OF SIS 900 TO improve the Capitol
grounds, and have concluded to cut it down
to SIS, 600. The first sum named is much
smaller than the usual yearly appropriation,
and would have been utterly insufficient. II
1t is reduced 10 $3.50 the work of improving
the Capitol grounds will be delayed for
another year. With a sufficient appropria-
tion the improvement Of the grounds might
be completed in aeomparatively short time
If Congress continues this policy it will be a
decade before the surroundings of the Capi-
tol are worthy OF the grandest structure in
the world.

The Constitutional amendment proposed
BY Senator Edmunds relative to counting
the votes for President and Vice President,
complicates this question considerably. and
discussion bids fair to go on for some time
TO come. His amendment proposes, in brief
that the votes shall be counted by the U. S
supreme Court; that the person having the
majority Of all electoral votes for President
shall be declared President; that If no per-
son shall have such majority the House of
Representatives shall elect. from the per-
sons having the highest number, not exceed
Ing three; and that the Vice President is to
be elected in the same way, provided the
Senate Is TO select, should no election ap-
pear on the count. The subject of reguIat-
ing the counting of the electoral vote is one
OF the greatest importance, aud it is to be
hoped that some satisfactory substitute will
be found for the present dangerous mole
through which the popular will may be de-
fed every four years. No proposition
which contemplates throwing the election
In certain contingencies into the House of
Representatives ought to be entertained
Such system is not only uudemocratic,
but is calculated to endanger the very ex-
istence of the republic itself
