Gov. JAooBs, OF West Virginia,
has appointed Hon. Sam'l Price,
of Lcwisburg, U. S. Senator, instead
of the late Allen T. Capcrton.-
He was Lieut.. Gov. of Virginia
during tho war, and while there are
abler and more brilliant men, there
are none better or trucr to the coun-
try. Mr.. Price is considerably adj
vanced in age, being older than Mr..
Caperton was. For many years he
has been conspicuous among the
able men who have mado the Lewis
burg and Union bar famous. A
man of large common sense, Of
rathor strong than polished mind,
popular though plain in his man-
ners he is revered and honorcd by
all who know him. He belongs to
that class of men who are useful
and practical in all the departments
Of life. If he should live this will,
We guess, give him the election.

Especial Dispatch to the Worli.l
A BlOOdy-Shirt Campaign With
Money, and there is Hope;
without Money, and All
is Lost.

INDINAPoLIs, August 2l.-The
Sentinel of tomorrow morning will
publish the subjoined letter from Gen.
eral Fitzpatrick to Governor Hayes.
The General has been canvassing our
State for week or ten days, and was
evidently careful observer. The
sentinel is in possession Of the original
draft of the letter, and after investiga-
ton and comparison with his sigma
ture, and considering the manner in
which it got possession of the docu-
ment, is satisfied of its genuineness,
and will give the publication editorial
endorsement.

"Dear Sir,-I have just finished a
tour of six counties in Indiana, and
feeling that any reliable information
from this State will interest you,
write. In the first place, the canvass
is well conducted, the people are en-
thusiastic and determined, and the
old war-spirit thoroughly aroused :
and If it were not for one thing we
could rest certain of victory In OctO-
ber. There is an Independent party
in this State, confined, it Is true to a
few counties, but formidable, and it
will defeat General Harrison. There
is but one way to overcome this move
ment. The leaders of the Independents
are poor, needy, and in debt; they
must be lectured to, documents be
placed in their hands, that they may
be convinced of their folly. A bloody
shirt campaign with money and In
diana is safe! financial campaign and
no money, and we are beaten. The
National Committee has done nothing
for Indiana, Alone they are fighting
their battle, and brayely; but unless
the National Committee wakes up
and does its duty TO you, to the party
and the country defeat is certain IN
October. | never in all my life felt so

General Grant on Governor
HaycS's LettCT-HG thinks it
am Instance of Very Bad
Taste.

A special to the Tribune says
"Ihe President one day last week
gave an audience to an Ohio private
citizen 10 no way connected with
public life, and voluntarily conversed
very freely with him upon the public
situation, Among other things, the
President criticised very severely Mr..
Hayes's letter. He said lie consider
ed it in extremely bad taste, and
thought it reflected upon the present
Administration. The President furth-
er said to this gentleman that he
hoped the time would come when the
American people would be permitted
to elect President for as Tonga a time
as they chose, The inference left
upon this gentleman's mind was very
strong that the President was griev-
ouSIy annoyed that any consideration
whatever had been given to the ques>
tion of the third term. The Presi-
dents entire manner indicated COM
plete dissatisfaction with the political
situation, and much personal anger.

"THE LIE DIRECT"

Having DETAINED and degraded
the few reformcrs in their own pare
ty the radicals have set about the
work of destroying the good name
of Gov. Tilden. Their latest at
tempt is the charge that for one
year he was known to have received
fec Of ten thousand dollars when
he gave in a much smaller sum as
his entire income. AS these re-
turns arc all given in under oath
they declare him guilty of perjury.
The facts are these; The year allu,
ded to was the first one under the
income tax, and the fee alluded TO-;
while collected during that year,
was the work of several years la~
Dor. Gov. Tilden simply pursued
the course adopted by all leading
merchants and other business men,
Of declining to consider all the
money he collected in that year rs
the income of that year. 1t is per-
fectly obvious that to do otherwise
would be 20 tax the labor and prof
It's of past years for the present one.
The thing is SO thin that Gov. Til
den has not even deigned to answer
1t over his own name, but a num-
Der of eminent business men have
shown it to be as ridiculous as it
was malicious.
Bristol news. [volume] (Bristol, Va. & Tenn.) 1867-189?, 1876-09-05

There are in the aggregate 369 cleo
tOral votes : therefore it will require
1856 votes to elect. According to this
table, Tilden will require 81 votes from
the doubtful States To give him ma
jority, while only % are wanted TO
elect Hayes. And here is where the
peculiar significance Ofthe doubtful
list comes in, No one supposes that
either Louisiana, Mississippi, or North
Carolina would go for Hayes, unless
overcome by Federal intimidation; but
it will be observed that these three
States alone would supply the wanting
% votes for Hayes, and four over
Hence, if the Republican managers
find themselves compelled to give up
all hopes of carrying New York and
Indiana, we may expect to see vigor-
Gus use of the bayOnet in the three
Southern States named in order to
secure the indispensable % votes. This
shows very nice prospect for the Re-
publican ticket, admitting Zachariah's
estimates to be correct; but, long be-
fore the election, he wilt find his
Hayes column so feartully demoralized
as TO etlectually upset all these pro-
found calculations.
