A telegram from sta,,nton published in the

a telegram from Staunton published in the
Richmond Dispatch of Monday, contains sew
eral inaccuracies in regard to the Repnblican
Convention that met in Saunton on tie 25th,
which it is proper should be corrected. The
Secretary Of the Convention was lot Maj.
5. NJ. Yost," nor was there Il forn,a resolution
adopted declaring i'll favor Of Mr.. Blaine fof
the Presidency. -.bout the time the Conven-
ton adjourned, and when the chairman had
left his seat. a member suggested that IL deca-
ration Of sentiment be made for Mr.. Blaine.-
He put the affirmative OF the QUESTION, and
there were responses probably from dozen
persons. That was all there was OF it. There
was no formal resolution offered, or vote taken
in reference to the matter. There was 10
purpose IN infested, only as we have stated, to
consider the claims Of the various candidates
for the Cincinnati nomination, nor was the
name of any one mentioned in that connec-
ton save as we have stated it. We make this
statement in justice to the facts of the case. 1t
is quite possible that If the choice OF the Con-
yeni0n had been expressed it might have
been favorable for Mr.. Blaine. and might have
been against him. The general disposition
manifested, so far as we could judge from
conversation, was to leave the question OF The
nominee of the Cincinnati Convention open
for determination when that bo;y shall meet.
So far as we know and believe, the nominee of
the Convention will be the choice OF the Re
pubcans of this section. There is no present
partizan feeling felt or announced. One good
Republican will suit as well as another, and
we think the inclination is to allow the dele
gates to go 10 Cincinnati I'M, ommitted so that
they may be able to- judge who will be the
most available OF the many acceptable asp-
rants for the position.
The first choice of the Republicans of tic
Valley will be the nominee of the Cincinnati
Convention, and contidng in the wisdom of
che delegates who may be sent there to make
iulcious selection, they will give him an
earnest support, whoever he may be.

Mr.. Blaine very properly congratulated the
country OIL the formal surrender of the doctrine
of State rights. as maintained by Southern
Democrats, in the bill reported from the Judi
ciary committee in reference to contributions
for election purposes. The proposition en-
braced is OF the most extreme centraliSnl. and
takes u step far in advance Of anything ever
yet suggested by Repub' lean Congress. Mr..
Goode, in discussing his own amendment
and his remarks about Mr.. Blaine. was very
careful, however. to make no allusion to the
necessity of imposing preventative to corrnp-
ton in State elections. 1t is there where much
of the outrage upoi, popular election is perpe-
tratcd. Mr.. Goodies own district furnishes H.
l,lStraton Of this. And the frauds and corrup-
tons in the State may be of such character,
and affect such interests as to be properly re-
cogEizabe by Congress. Take for insta sec
the present Legislature OF Virginia, In the cleo
ton of U. S. Senator. Suppose parties had
been equally divided in the Legislature, and
that the majority would have been determined
by the votes of johnson and Gayle-State
Senators elected by acknowledged frauds, and
admitted TO their seats, not upoa the justice Of
the issue, bnt solely from partizan eonsi,lera-
tions, -woud it not have been wrong perpc-
trated against the Senate of the United States,
for the gentleman elected by their votes to have
been permitted to take his seat?
We have no personal knowledge of the cor
rupt agencies employed by the Democratic
party in some of the coanties in Eastern Vir-
gnia to control elections. but published state
mcnts and official records testify that bribery
and corruption are common, and that there is
no scru:le in resorting to them. 1t is very GER
tain that nothing but partizau desperation.
ever induced the Senate of Virginia to admit to
their seats johnson and Gayle, in the face I ! the
testimony piled up proving corruption. And
if a Senator of the United States had been
elected by their votes, the purity and protec-
ton OF the highest legislative body OF the
country would demand that his seat be denied
him. A case showing how corruption in State
elections may reach the United States Senate,
is given in the case of Mr.. Lamar, Of Mississip-
ri 1t is known that the Democratic majority
in the Legislature Of that State was secured by
bribery, corruption and violence-that the will
of the people was defeated by these means
Mr.. Lamar's election is tie result, and if JUS
tice is what we are after in our system of gov
eminent and the will of the people is to be
reflected, Mr.. Lamar should not be allowed to
take his seat in the U. S. Senate.

Lynchburg Convention.

The Lynchburg Convention which meets OH
the 18th of April, will find its highest dignity
and duty in transacting the legitimate business
before it, in the appointment of delegates to
Cincinnati, perfecting the machinery for
State organization and tlien adjourning. We
should regard it "a misfortune to the Rcpub-
ican party OF Virginia were any declaration
made discriminating between the various
prominent candidates for the Cincinnati nom-
nation, or instructions given binding tie dele
cation that may be entrusted with the impor-
tant duties of representing the Republicans OF
the State in the National Convention. The
delegates should be selected for their intelli-
gence and integrity and devotion to the prnc-
pies of the party, and then be left free to de-
termne what is most cSpedicnt when they
have surveyed the whole field, and compared
opinions with the various delegations from the
different States and Territories of the Union.
The success of the party in The great contest
of 1875 will depend much upon the character
OF the nominations made, and the means that
may be employed to secure the nominations
One thing is certain there is no disposition on
tttc part VI ttc Va P"i-
ty to tolerate any political dckering or ques-
tionable agencies in connection with the choice
Of representative men for the highest positions
in the gift of the American people. IT any one
thought will exercise mere controlling influ
encc than another it will be the observance of
the highest propriety and the most unsuspi-
cious Observation-Disclosures in effeeting the work OF
the Convention. The people are not in q h.-
NOR to acquicsce in any other means than of
the most rigid sincerity a honesty in dealing
with so grave question as clecting Prcsi-
dent OF the United States. The stability OF
American Institutions and the honor and fair
fame of Republican government are too init
mately associated with the result that will be
recorded in November next, for the National
Convention of the Republican party to present
any candidate who cannot 60 before the people
with name and surroundings that will defy
the severest scrutiny and challenge the most
rigid investigation.
To accomplish the nomination OF such man,
the delegates entrusted with this paramount
duty should be of the highest intelligence and
discrimination themselves, capable of weighing
all the facts aud circumstances entering into
the determination, and with honesty and firm
ness to indicate their choice, without fear, Ia
vor or affection for any.
Hence we hope the Lynchbnrg Convention
will fully appreciate the gravity of the occa-
sion, and designate representatives for the Re-
publican party of Virginia whose votes ut Gin
cinnati will reflect credit upon the party that
entrusted them and the State they represent.
And this can only be done by choosing the
very best men, and leaving them unembar-
raised in the discharge of their duties.
