hICHMOND, v A., july 10.
Editors Vindicator In the last issue of
your paper you say the West Augusta
Guard carried the only Virginia State flag
in the parade in Philadelphia on the 4th
inst. Our informant is probably not ia
miliar with what is required of battalons
or regiments on public parades or he would
have been more careful in taking observa-
tions. Without meaning to detract one
iota of the honor and glory obtained by the
West Augusta Guard on this occasion, l
think it but just to the other Virginia
troops to make the following correction.
About the handsomest stand of colors in
the entire procession was that carried by
the Walker Light Guard, Co. B. LIST Va.
Regiment. as the Color Company for the
Centennial Battalion from Richmond, Va.
1t consisted Of two brand new silk flags,
one Virginia State flag and the other a
National flag. both having been ordered
regardless of expense expressly for this oc-
casion, by the First Virginia Regiment.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS
VIEWS

When the Cincinnati Convention met :,
GRANT had already lost several valued
friends in the Missouri penitentiary; his
capped from the very jaws of the same in
stitutioA, there was very strong feel
ing that the President was no better than
he ought to be, and very general appre-
hension from the already unexpected de
velopements, that one more might place
him in the dock. When the Cincinnati
Convention met, one member Of his cabinet
had been detected in and confessed cor
ruption in Office, the punishment of which
is confinement in the State prison, and
another, Secretary robson, was being
cathauled by committee for suspected
corruption, and has narrowly, if at all, es-
capped impeachment. Notwithstanding al
this, the Convention endorsed GRANTS
administration and GRANT himself. The
endorsement was unmistakable and point
ed. The resolution 1.-THE l7th) said that
his administration was to be commended
for it's honorable work in the management
of domestic and foreign AFFAIRS and 'that
President GRANT deserves the continued
and hearty gratitude of the American
people for his eminent services IN peace and
war" Nothing could be palmer than this,
and of it Mr.. HAYES, after several weeks
of consideration, writes in his letter of
acceptance that sit is IN accordance aoith my
vieaos." He said this of resolution that
was before the people as the programme by
which he was to conduct the government
in case they should elect him; resolution
that he knew had been read carefully by
every man in the land, and to which he
himself had given the gravest considera-
ton. This is vitality important fact in
this campaign. It was indispensable if
the Republican party hoped to retain the
government of the country, that it should
cut loose from any connection with the
corrupt GRANT administration of the past
eight years. If there is one thing upon
which the people of this country are en-
tirely unanimous it is that there must be
a reform-a tholo reform in the gov
eminent, and yet here we have the man
nominated as the successor of GRANT
H6dftlIy cuuOloIuS tuO n1u WIN udo
brought the Republican party to ruin, and
announcing that his administration lis in
accordance with my views"
The rumors have not been wanting.
coming from Washington, that the ar
rangement, already agreed upon, is that
GRANT is TO do everything for HAYES
that the powers of the administration can
accomplish, and in return, if elected,
HAYES is to keep in brother-in CASEY,
and brother-in-law SHARP, and all the
GRANT relatives in Office are to be re-
tanned; the same Arrangement existing
with MORTON and CoNKLING. The an
nouncement of HAYES that he will not
favor rotation in office, which gives assur-
anos to the office-holders would seem to
give their additional weight. With this
view of 1t the people of this country can
see that these is no hope for any reform;
that the s.honorable work" of GRANTS
administration will merely find another
director at its head, and at it's back NOR
TON, CoNKL1Na and the reS.
Against this combinationthe Democrats
