To the Editor Of the Neiys

The Funders having despaired of
ever getting another Legislature plant
enough To fund the balance OF the pub
lie debt have no further use for the
Second Auditor and his office. and
through Gov. kemper, their cham
piOn, they demand the abolition of the
once with view of ABSORBING the
salaries of its incumbent aud his
clerks. This Office has been prostitu-
ted to the base uses of the bondholder
ever since 1870, and during all that
DARK and eventful period the Second
Auditor has been willing, faithful
and obedtent servant of the Funders
During the peHdeHcy of the bill to re-
peal the funding act, instead of stop
ping the funding operation, as it was
bis plain duty TO have done, to await
the fate of the repeating act, he multi
Piled the clerical force in his office at
the expense of the State, and funded
bonds TO the amount of several mill
lions of dollars before the bill could
possibly be pressed to Its final passage.
Had he followed the plain path of his
duty, when it was evident to him,
from the temper of the Legislature,
that the people demanded the repeal
OF the funding act, and Till was &C.
tu0tly pending for that purpose, there
would be no imperative demand now
to abolish his for the sake of putting
his salary Ia the pockets of the hold
ers of the funded bonds funded by
him in defiance of the will of the
Legislature. 1t is ingratitude in those
whom the Second Auditor has served
faithfully and 50 efficiently in the
past to demand his meat and bread
now that, for no fault of his, he can
serve them no longer, but he must re-
collect that bonGholders, like repub-
lies, are ungratetul.
If the Legislature shall, in obedience
to the recommendations of the Gov
ernor, abolish the office, the Second
Auditor can console himself with the
thought that his temporary loss will
be the bondholders' eternal gain, and
that, to the extent of his salary, 1.-THE
honor and credit of Virginia will be
preserved"

LETTER FROM BEN HILL.
lie Wishes to be Invisible in the
Coming War.

Ben Hin, member of Congress
from Georgia, and. after March 4th,
Senator from that State, is out in a
letter breathing very lofty sentiment
and clad in very chaste rhetoric, but
denying that he has been treating
with tie Hayes party. He says:
The political situation was never
so critical as now. Our constitutional
system Is on u magazine of powder
ana ten thousand fools, and some that
are not fools, are striking matches all
around 1t. None but cool men and
patriots, who love country more than
Office, can avert the most horrible civil
war that ever disgrAced and DESTROYED
liberty and humanity. And yet,
there was never less excuse for any
war in the history of the world. Such
n war, If 1t come, will be tho culmina-
ton Of human crime in the dastardly
destruction of human rights by dis
graceful scramble for Office. In the
late election both Mr.. Tilden and MIR.
Hayes received some votes. Will II
not be better to have either for Presi-
no votes He is too stupid for argu-
ment who does not see that the last
alternative is possible"
Ills is very significant language
from Mr.. Hill, He evidently be-
Iioves that the prospect for the peace
able Inauguration of Dir. Tllden is
Dyerrated by others and that the
Hayes party mean to push their revo>
utionary schemes. 1t is equally
evident that this letter he has writ
en- so late as the Friday before |
christmas will tend to strengthen |
his purpose of the conspirators, for
I declares Mr., Hills readiness to
submit to it as means of preserving |
liberty. lie considers it n terrible |
hing to even contemplate Grants

EVENT and COMMENT.

Mosby says If Grant should need
help to inaugurate Hayes he will raise
a regiment of Virginiaus In twenty
four hours and tender it to him Ey-
or since Grant saved Mostly from the
gallows he has acknowledged his al
legianCe to him instead Of his country
1t Is fact, also, that the country will
never again need Mosby and Grant
will.
Fechter has been playing the Lady
OF Lyons at the Richmond Theatre,
and, strange to say eyes that have
been dry under the stage acting of
Grant and the Louisiana Returning
Board shed tears and floods of them.
Agent Doom, of the Chesapeake &
Ohio r. r.. who was sentenced to
four months in the Albany u. S. Pen
itentiary for putting out of the La
dies Reception Room. at Staunton, a
colOred woman, has been pardoned by
Grant at the end of two months. Yet
he lets the negroes of three States put
the Governors thereof out Of office
ana says never u word, except if they
don't take it nicely he will jug them.
The Supreme Court of Florida has
decided that the Canvassing Board
lied when it said the State had gone
for the Republicans. Like South
Carolina edzactly.
Mr.. Cronin, the Democratic Oregon
Elector stopped at the st. james the
Saturday before Christmas, and spent
the holidays with his sister, Mrs
Rev. Thos. Diggs, who lives IA miles
from Richmond, in Chesterfield Co.
His face is bodily marked with small
p0X. Crouin is gem. A man.
whom neither small pox nor radical
ism can scare, is worth mint.
Gen. Jos. f.. Johnston is now living
in Richmond aud is boarding at the
81. Claire Hotel. He is in fine health.
In size he is about on par with his
nephew, Senator Johnston.
Davenport. whom Grant has for
years paid out of the public treasury
to superntend the elections in New
York City, testifies that the late cleo
ton in that city was the fairest one
held for years, and that he was unable
to detect any frauds at ALL AS the
radicals had not employed him to tell
the truth they now pronounce him a
damn rascal. Morton says he has
been bought, and all the mud sling
ers, who think that the Presidency
should be stolen, have paved dirt at
him, and noH sit on their launches
and make night vocal with their
howlings,

OPENING THE CERTIFICATES. -
Ferry declares that he will open all
the certificates of Presidential votes
delivered to him in the presence of
both Houses of congress, and then
do his duty under the Constitution.
Very good. His particular duty TN.
der the Constitution is finished when
the seals are broken. After that, he
will be President of the Senate, with
power to decide questions of order,
subject to appeal, put questions on
motions, and Otherwise discharge the
duties of Chairman of that body alone,
and with no other powers whatever.
He can decide nothing for the House,
and do nothing futher with The eleto,
raj votes without its consent -

THE CONSPIRACY WEAK
EMS.

The latest utterances of the
President is tame enough for the
average reader. He processes to
have no partisan predictions at
all. Scarcely a fortnight has
elapsed since he professed TO be the
representative Of a party. Now
he is only anxious for justice to
descend ard alight like a dove
on the one whom the pco-
pie have chosen to be his success
sor. The change is marvellous,
and implies either the weakening
of the chances for Hayes, or the
whiskey in his demijohn. The
New York TINES is furious against
all democracy, but has no plan of
battle. Vice President Ferry de-
clarcs he will not receipt for con,
fllcting returns, for that would all,
low both messengers from each of
the disputed States to draw mile
age,but he will await the decision of
Congress in the matter. This does
not look as though he assumed the
authority to decide the matter in
his capacity Of President of the
Senate. These are signs that por~
tend the failure of the conspiracy,
and they point to the Inauguration
Of Tilden. 1t may be as we'll to
acknowledge the danger of an ats
tempt to declare Wheeler the Vice,
President. If this can be carried
out we should not be surprised at
the disclosure of an attempt to as,
sass'nate President Tilden, and
thus give to the conspirators the
administration. There are plenty
of them desperate enough to fur
nish the money to have it DONE
The safe burglars are yet alive.

of their toilets was very effective. The

WAsHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The im>
preston is becoming fixed that the
vote of Florida will be thrown out of
the electoral count, although neither
side will get the credit of its four
electoral votes. This will make the
College stand, on the aggregate, 365
instead Of 800 votes. Tilden having
the votes, or more than a majority,
will, therefore, be declared legally
elected, There is no longer any talk
here about Oregon, as the acme of
interest is centered in Florida,

TALLAHASSEE, FLA, Dec rs 1t
is now ascertained beyond doubt that
the policy of the Republicans mana,
gers at Washington is to force the in,
auguration of Hayes at all hazards.
When Grant said, owe will have
peace if we have to fight for it," he
meant peace under HAYES rule.
EX-Attorney General Williams
came here with plenary powers to of,
fer the protection OF the Governments
in their resistance to the court
Chandler telegraphed a week ago to
Stearns: "Resist the mandate of the
court, and you will be ustaiued.'
The Florida Republicans were de,
termined upon submitting gracefully,
and give the State to Tilden as well
as Drew. The arrival of Williams
and his gang changed this purpose.
4 plot is now on foot to threaten
Judges Randall and Westcott of the
Snpreme Court with certain exposures,
and thus bluckmail them into accept
ing the canvass made to-day on next
Saturday, as Gnal and sufficient. II.
Bristol news. [volume] (Bristol, Va. & Tenn.) 1867-189?, 1877-01-02


and also to the casting of the cleo
toral vote for Tilden, Tor the Court
ordered them to decide according
to the face of the returns. Next
day came orders by telegraph from
the head conspirators at Washing-
ton to resist the order of the Court
and the said Court decided to re-
bel.
Subsequently the two radical
members of the Court concluded
to meet and re-canvass, but in
doing 50 they discarded the true
returns Of Baker county and counts
ed the bogus one, which was in
their own favor. There was the
form of compliance in this, though
the spirit of the order was out
ragged. 1t was not enough and
they boldly threw out the entire
vote OF Clay county, thus forging
the election of Stearns and Hayes.
In thus disobeying the order Of
the Supreme Court they relied
upon the hope OF relief by a
HABEAs CoRPAs from U. s. Circuit
Judge Wood, of Ala, as Cham>
berlain did from Bond. 1t seems,
however, that Judge Wood will
not lend himself to SO reasonable
a scheme, and declines to 90 to
Florida as Bond did to S. Carolina.
The New York HERALD has a
fine article on this latest rebellion,
and denounces it in round terms,
saying
They seem to fear exposures which
Will prove that the first count was IL,
legal or fraudulent. They are unwil-
ling to risk Hayes chances by allow
ing tie curtain to be lifted. What is
this but confession that Mr.. Haves'
claim to Florida is too week to stand n
scrutiny. If he really carried the
State why should his supporters have
any fear that Reorganization of the
returns would overthrow his preten-
sions ?"
From this ard other transporting
revelations it is plain that the real
leaders of the conspiracy mean yet
to play their bold and shameless
game to the end if they can. There
is no assurance that they will snc,
coed. Indeed, the capital of the
nation is moving already at its
great focal centre, New York,
which is the heart of the CONNER
cial power Of the country. If it
shall continue to beat true to prin-
ciple all h revolutionary
schemes will fade and fall like the
FOOLS house that was built upon the
sand. If it shall bury the conspi>
rators beneath its ruins so that the
country will be forever rid Of them
and retain only the wholesome
memory of their fall, republicanism
will flourish and be yet only the
stronger for their mad experiment.
