The Order.

Inasmuch as the Richmond Dispatch and
State have threatened the ''Staunton post.
master" with the civil SCI vice order of tht
President, because as the editor of the VIR-
GILMAN he has deemed it to be his duty. as
citizen of Virginia, as much interested In
ductors OF those journals, to expose the decept
ion and wrongs they are attempting to inflic
upon the people, we will quote fol their ben
eft the order itself:
mo officer should be required or permit
ted to take part in the management of polit.
ical organizations, caucuses. conventions
reelection campaigns. Their right to vote
and express their views on public questions,
either orally or through the press, is not de-
MED, provided it does not interfere with the
discharge of their official duties. No assess
ment for political purposes on officers or
subordinates should be allowed
This is the Presidents order, to every
sword of which we cordially subscribe. It's
spirit and letter have been fully met by the
.sStaunton postmaster" and the abortive
effort of the Richmond journals to create
the impression that we had violated it,
only exposes the motives of the instiga-
tors Of the malicious assault. Machine pol
itics has been the adherence of our life We
have been fighting rings and caucuses for a
quarter Of a century and never more ardent
ly than within the past few years. That we
have done some service in this line, is ev-
idenced by the howl sent up from Richmond,
at the instance. no doubt, of the damaged trick
:sters in this locality.

Contenaptible.

The Richmond Dispatch publishes from
the Washington Republican an editorial ar
ticle upon Virginia politics, taking the same
position in regard to the present canvass
that tue VIRaINIAN advised and to great
degree influenced, three months ago. It
was as much from the course of the VIRGIN.
IAN as anything else, if not more so, that
the Republicans determined not to interfere
i'll this election, as an organized party, with a
view to having the public debt question set
tied, and to convert it into means of ad-
vancing the interests Of the people, instead
OF paralyzing the State. The Republicans
article was based upon suggestion thrown
out without any authority, and by no one
having right to speak for the party in this
State, to the effect, that there would be an
administration candidate brought forward
to oppose Col. Holiday for Governor. The
article was appropriate and pertinent. The
Dispatch, however, peryerts its whole objec:
by giving it this caption-'sA warning to
the Stanton Postmaster, Leaving the i'm
preston with its readers who are not &C.
quained with the manner Of crediting Sc
lected articles, that the Republican had
given the caption, and that it was rebuke
to the senior editor of the VIRaINIAN. In
all our observation as a newspaper man,
running through many years, we have never
seen or known more contemplate and
shabby trick, and it shows to what desper-
ate resorts the ring politician will appeal to
prevent an exposure of their impositions
upon and receptions Of the people. Doubt
less the Republican never thought of the
VIRGINTAN or the ''Staunton postmaster
in connection with any OF its editorials, and
had it done SO, and remembered the views
OF this paper in regard to tile policy Of which
it treated, it would have been TO approve
them. as they were and arc in accord with
those expressed by it. The object of the
Dispatch, however, was not to do the fair
thing, but to create prejudice against the
VIRGINIAN and initiate against its influ-
ences. In that it has most sgnally tailed,
as there is but one opinion in this comnlu-
nifty, with men whose opinions are worth
having, and that is, the Dispatch has been
guilty OF Il violent breach OF the prophecies
OF Journalism, as we'll as gross perversion
OF another writer's purpose.

Not True.

The State of the 25th says the VALLEY
VIRGINIAN "came to us yesterday bristling
with reputation arguments and senti-
ments." This is not true, in the sense the
State uses it. We favor the "repudiation -
of that policy pursued for six years by Vir-
ginia. of promising to pay the creditors the
| interest on their claims, and not paying it.
We favor the 'repudiation " of that legisla-
ton that discriminates against one portion
OF the creditors, paying them nothing, and
| In favor OF another portion, paying them all
| their interest. We favor the " population -
of that policy which increases the debt of
the State in defaulted interests nearly a
million each year, while the people aie
taxed to their utmost capacity to bear. We
favor the reputation "of that policy which
robs the School Fund, and violates the Con-
stitution to do it, and deprives the poor
children Of the State of the means of edllca-
ton. We favor the "rcpudiadon - of the
rings and machine politicians which have
squandered the revenues OF the State, cor
rupted the ballot, and brought the Common
WCaAeA W eIC sCISC VI UdihlutNys we
favor the "repudiation - of the deception
sought to be practiced upon the people in
the contradictory and meaningless platform
adopted recently in Richmond, and for a
fair, square issue before the people whether
the infamous Funding Bill fraud is to still
disgrace the statute book OF Virginia or not.
and we are in favor Of "repudiating" all
duplicity in these issues, and for the people
to demand an explicit and distinct declara-
ton of views from the candidate for Gov
ernor upon the Public Debt and Public
School questions. Any other "repudiation y
we do not favor, except the malicious spirit
that could control journal in SO grossly
and wantonly disappearing contemporary |

the public, the editors are as much inter-
ested, as all Republicans are, as Democrats.
They involve the future hope of the State,
and it is to bring about just and righteous
adjustment of present complications that we
labor. The people recognize this. They
know that all our sympathies and aspira-
lions are for the prosperity and honor of our
native State, and that, while they and we
have differed as to National politics and the
best means to accomplish both State and
National advancement, the policy we have
advocated has brought us in great degree

The Staunton post-office has nothing to do

exercises the privileges and rights OF citi-
zen Of Virginia in expressing his views OF
public questions and public policy through
its columns, the one in no way interfering
with the other. 1t has always been his for
tune to antagonize rings and denounce po-

LONDON, June il.-Dcspatches from Vienna
say that the Danube suddenly rose yesterday
overnowing it's banks. The rise was caused by
the melting Of the snow and Ice on the Carpa-
THAN Alps. This will again delay Russian
operations. 1t would appear that the Russian
points for crossing the Danube will be chosen
cnst and west Of tho Turkish Quadrilateral
and that while tho eastern column keeps in
chock the Turkish forces massed in and about
the fortrcsscs. the western column will act
as n field army. operating against the flank
or rear Of the Turkish position. Tho line
chosen for tho operation OF tho western
column is a most advantageous one. for along
1t lie some fair roads over the Balkans-one
from pevna to Sofia. and another from Sistova
over the sifka Pass toward Philppopois. Al
though the Turks are outnumbered by the Rus
sians and although with the greatest exertons
th"v will scarcely be able TO oppose anything
like an equivalent force to the four corps con-
centrated by the Russians on that side, yet by
taking up n central nositon between flevnaann

they may throw considerable obstacles in the
