THE NOTIFIES.

The ''Virginian'' yesterday falsely
charges the opposition of this paper to the
present Council to be the result Of a desire
''to accomplish selfish ends, and not the
good of the CITY," and that it is attempting
to 'sdefame the present Council" The
people of Staunton need no assurance from
us that this is not true. There is no ''selfish
end'' that could be gained by US beyond
good and economical government, and that
is to the welfare of every taxpayer in the
city. We want no offices, no perquisites,
NO opportunities to make by our votes in q
public body. Our course is the result
of a desire to get rid Of an incompetent and
expensive government, aud to avert the
most disastrous calamity Of having it go
abroad to the Southern States, from which
so much Of our prosperity comes through
our schools, that Staunton has elected a
that would sound as a death knell to
Staunton. Mr.. BICKLE, in attempting it,
is attempting to crafty his own wilfulness
at his own cost-which he can afford to
standard that Of poorer men in Staun-
ton-which they cannot afford to stand.
If he had the real good of the city at heart
he would withdraw from the canvass TO-
day.
We have no friends in the Council that
as Councilman we should desire to defend.
Mr.. BURKE is to lie censured as much as
any other member for not seeing that we
got consideration for the C. IL o. lots.

COL. SKINNER.

We are not aware that Col. SKINNER is
IL candidate for any office in the city so as
to make his bushes affairs a subject of
investigation, indeed he has explicitly de-
clined against the most urgent solicitation
to be a candidate in any sense of the word.
But it appears he has had the audacity to
appear in meeting of the Conservative
party as an advocate of this Conservative
organization of which we hear so much at
elections for Congress and TIE Legislature
and he has also been bold enough to favor
change in the city government. But
what a noble record it would be if exam
ined. What man in Staunton would not
be proud Of such record as that Of JAMES
II. SKINNER. Without fear and without re-
proach. A public and private life of stain
less purity, a daily walk marked with JUS
tice-and considerateness for his fellow linen
in every station Of life, and almost daily
service given to his fellow citizens in some
position or other without compensation or
hope of reward
But he is not a candidate and is not up
for discussion. The question the ''Virgin-
ian'' should answer is whether the lives of
such men as are its models entitle them
to squander the city's money and tax their
fellow citizens, and whether the life of any
man, no matter what it is, entities him to
bring upon his city the dangerous reputa-
ton of being in the hands of the Radical

THE FIRST GUN.

The opening speech of the campaign, de-
livered by Col. SKINNER, Saturday, was
worthy of d great victory. 1t was the
strong, plain, earnest, thrilling speech of a
man, and these words in it are worthy of
being a watchword Of the campaign: Il
am what L am, and l am not ashamed to
sau what I am" He boldly tore off the
f1msy veil of ''no. politics." and showed
the necessity of man letting it be known
what he was, as vitality necessary to the
very life of the Conservative party. There
is not Conservative in the city, whatever
his previous views about the expediency of
making an effort for the control of the city,
that doesn't today feel eager for election
day, that he may save it from ''those peo-
dle,' as G, sn. LEE used to call the enemy.

independent Candidates.

lEIOlu lue hlclllliuuu OiSpdlCH.l
Every discontinued and disappointed
man who rebels against the nominees OF
the party excuses himself by declaring
that the party is controlled by "ring."
1t is always firing" that does wrong, and
the resistance always rebellion against
an alleged ''ring" When the resistance
comes from defeated ''ring'' it is as in
dignant as though it possessed all the VIZ
tue and honesty in the community; and
it matters not with the resisterss. whether
they are really resisting a ring" or not,
the phrase suits them and they use it
with marked emphasis. So there is hardly
ever a mistake in styling a resistance as to
''ring," for they always SO declare,
whether they speak truth CT not.
We oppose Independents" everywhere.
We can make no exceptions in any case.
We will not charge upon the party errors
and sins which would tend to break down
all faith and trust in it. The great body
of the party gets nothing for it's services,
and offices in Virginia are toopoor to JUS.
tify suspicion that any great amount Of
corruption can well be engendered by them
especially where, as with the Conservative
| party, stealing is not permitted. Therefore
we are willing to trust the leaders. They
may err locally, but not at any time to the
serious public injury; and the Invaluable
services of the party are such that good
men should never dream of impairing its
unity and weight by resisting it anywhere.
When one case Of contempt for its author
ity occurs it is apt to invite another fol
personal ambition and egotism are ever
ready to pick quarrel on account of an
imaginary slight. It Is impossible that
every mans estimate of his own talents
and influence can be respected where there
are so many aspirants. At best, we know
that mems opinions of their own merits
are very faulty. They must often find the
public differing widely from them. One
would think that where they make such g
discovery they should yield to the publ
Judgment; but not so. AS long as vanity
and self-conceit live there will be discon.
tent with the public Judgment and ire
pressible desire to try conclusions-a dis
position so strong that it has been carried
to the extreme Of impelling man to be
come candidate where he got but on'
vote, and that his own.
We trust by stern, calm, and dignife'
policy on the part of the Conservative par
ty these s'ring rebellions" may be KEEP
within the narroWest possible ring. Tina
there will be some we suppose to bea thin

THE COLOR LINE.

The Washington Republican" doesn't
the colored speakers at the late Nashville
Convention. 1t does not name PINCH
BACK, but doubtless had him in mind
when the following was indited. Can any
man in the South, in Staunton, anywhere,
doubt the necessity Of keeping up a close
party organization when the organ of the
Administration at Washington uses such
language. Says the "Republican:"
1t happened at the colored convention in
Nashville, a few days since, that spirit
cropped out which cannot but be looked
upon with regret by those who have the
future advance of the c ,lored race at heart.
1t seemed that there were some men IN tile
convention who, influenced by bribery, or
by false promises, OF under the pressure OF
terrorism, or even possibly with the belief
that rel sympathy with them existed i'll
the DemOcl attic party, came out in an eX-
cited enthusiasm in favor of the party
which has always opposed their interests.
Some even spoke loudly in favor OF abro-
eating the ''color ine," and yielding to
the domination of their white neighbors.
Such talk as this should deceive no in
telligent colored man. The Democrats Of
the South are sworn in their opposition to
the negro race, and will use every means
violent if need be, but cunning if most
available-to disintegrate their united
power and get them under their yoke:
Here and there an example will he found
where colored person yields to their per-
suasion. or is bought up, though it is due
to the race to say that this unfaithfulness
is rare. Colored people, however, are sub
ject to the same ambitions, and tie same
motives of cupidity or self-intercst may in
fluence some to deceive their friends by
yielding allegiance to the party. which
brought them out of bondage and made
possible their future history as a race OF
men rather than as series Of generations
of chattels. Beware of the Aeceiver. There
is no safety for the colored race until the
generation which feels the grinding power
of seeing their former slaves walking the
streets equal in all human rights to them
selves shall have passed away. Democratic
authority at the South cannot be trusted
as long as former STAKEHOLDER remains
above the sod. There is a circumstance
and power in former associations that will
not allow them to forget the difference OF
station that once existed, nor will it per-
nit them to yield lifelong convictions in
favor of a liberal treatment OF the cOlored
men.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

" III Ii - AZ 1JLt0 hCh
We are astonished to see that there is
some difference of opinion as to the pro-
priety of drawing party lines in the NUM-
cipal election shortly to come off in the
city of Staunton. In all cities it is deemed
a matter of the first Importance by con-
tending parties to get and keep the control
of municipal affairs, and there is certainly
no good reason why it should not be a
matter of as much interest and concern as
the cont troll of the counties. In the small
est city there are public interests to be
protected and managed of equal, if not far
greater, Importance than county affairs,
and the offices to be filled are quite as nu-
merous and responsible. Upon what prin-
ciple of party policy these positions should
be freely opened to Republicans in cities
where the Conservative party is in the as
cendancy we are at a loss to conceive. We
can well see how an abundant charity
might suggest this liberal course, but GER
tainly wise regard to the interests of the
party, and a sensible adherence to univer-
sally recognized party tactics, should for
bid any such exhibitions Of Conservative
liberality in Staunton or any other place
that aspires to the dignity of a city. The
INDICATOR insists that a regular Consef-
vative ticket be put in the field for the
May election, and we concur entirely with
U1elo JOuIAttiI LII GiS OPIIloil eiEIU oily OUilCl
course would be absurd, if not detrimen-
tai to the future prosperity of the Conser-
vative party, not only in the city Of Staun
ton, but IN the county of Augusta. Keep
the reins of government in Conservative
hands. by all means Charlottesville Chron-
lcle.
What did this injured and complaining
race on the 9th of July, 1869? Let the
memory answer such deceitful plants as
come to us from Nashville. They marched
to the polls in solid body-ninety seven
thousands of these apostles of amity and
pleaders of peace-and voted as one man
to disq,eahty every honorable aohite citizen Of
