BRISTOL VA. AND Tenn,
January 81, 1877.
Permit an old and constant reader OF your
paper to tender to you not only his thanks,
but the thanks Of all Conservatiye-Demo-
Gratis hcreabout, for the firm, able, and pa
triotic course you have since the election
for President and Vice-President last No
yember pursued in regard to the best mode
of coming to fair and honest count. You
have most nobly performed your part, and
may the dear old Dispatch live thousand
years and flourish.
The entire county q mean all good, hon.
est citizens) are rejoicing at the prospect OF
O speedy termination OF the dread suspense
that has darkened the land for the past
three months. No honest, fair-minded
man, no matter to which party he may be-
long, doubted for moment the election of
TiIden and Hendricks by an overwhelming
majority. The great trouble and danger,
however, as we all know, was that we had
to contend with the most yillainous and cor
rupt party that ever cursed the earth, led
on by Grant, Chandler, Morton & Co. But,
thank heaven, that there has. been found,
even in their own party, enough falr-minded
men to defeat their outrageous plottings and
devilish devices; and we. nave at least
chance for a reversal OF the infamous
negro returning boards of Louisiana and
Florida. 49,, =, ,.gs... t.ar. ii..9s.-,,t y.
When Tilden and Hendricks are declared
elected, as I firmly believe. they will be,
there will be rejoicing throughout this
broad land such rs was never, known he
fore.
The winter with us has been n most un.
precedented hard one, the thermometer the
first week in January ranging from 2ao 70
800 below zero, and the ground covered
with snow for ten Weeks-paTt OF the time
twenty-three inches deep. Little OF no
business has been done among us, owing
mainly. however, to the dark uncertainty
OF the political situation. w e feel now tnat
we can begin to see a sllver-lnihg 10 Tue
dark cloud that has SO long hung over US.

The Point Of Separation.

The institution OF the electoral commis-
sion. or the " peace measure" is to be the
monument oi the end and OF the beginning
OF many things. 1t is to be the end OF the
war and the beginning OF peace. II is to
mark the close OF Federal intimidation over
the subjugated States and the beginning Of
the autonomy OF these States. 1t ends the
sectional war and institutes the dispositions
and the just influences OF the common IN
forests Of the nation, which will induce and
foster national harmony. 1t puts an end TO
bloody-shirr partisanship and inaugurates
liberal and fair discussions OF national poll
tics. It ends persecution and oppression OF
some States to promote base ambitions, and
; restores equality to the States, and therefore
Justice 10 ALL Finally, 1t ends the peril OF
our republican system and dates the begin
ming OF the second age OF the nation. lie
secures the triumph OF liberty and law and
gives assurance OF their long continuance.
The happy svent-happy, because termi-
nate how it may as to the presidential ques-
ton, it nevertheless secures all the bless
ings we have recited-shows It's character
as 4 mark OF great change in many things.
1t appears that the political literature OF the
day is rapidly changing. MATTERS in discus
sion have been set aside rs out OF order.
Discussions are suspended; lines OF thought
are confused; plans are dropped and new
ones brought on; there is general
pause. and I'll people expect to bid
aaieu to the past and enter upon
the new economy, public and private. In
short, the general hope and expectation Is
that the country is about to enter upon the
new heaven and the new Garth Of this
eountry's affairs, which is to secure us
ali more OF peace and rewarded energy
thar we have known since the war. H.
decd, the prospect is that there will soon be
more OF physical progress and thrift in the
country than has been known at any pre-
vious period OF its history. With regard to
peace and conteptment, while we do not
hope to see that brightness and serenity Of
popular happiness that existed in time past,
when public virtue was strong and personal
liberty and security complete, again in this
country, still we know that there may be in
the land degree Of contentment and pros
pcrity with which any nation may be salts
fed. and on account OF which all people in
this Union may lock upon themselves as
singularly fortunate after passing through
the troubles that have so greatly distressed
us all, and through perils that have placed
tire repuh1ic IN imminent dancer
Clearly all people may be delighted with
the prospect, and be happy that the epoch
in national affairs promises to end SO much
that is disagreeable, and to become the be-
ginning Of SO much that will bring Joy and
prosperity to the nation.

The Democrats are certainly having a
Jolly time in Washington. The develop
Returning eompost-heap must be as
annoying to the Republicans as they are en-
tertaining to the Democrats. The "ras-
calls - who are making clean breast OF it
have no doubt much more to tell, and it
seems that retribution is coming more ra-
pidly than we had supposed possible. The
Republicans are sick, and would send for
McMAEUs or any other "manus" who could
purge the country OF these terrible wit
nesses. President GRANT calls the wit
nesses and the accused "rascals," which is
asound judgment rendered near the close Of
his official term.

What says Senator JOHN SHERMAN, OF
Ohio, now about the Louisiana Returning
Board? He declared recently in his place
in the United States Senate that the deci-
sions of that Board were as much entitled
to respect as those Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States We hardly suppose
there is man at all acquainted with pub
lie matters who did not feel convinced that
when SHERMAN said this he knew he was
saying that which was not true. However,
in the face OF the testimony concerning the
Board recently brought out, what says the
immaculate SHERMAN now concerning the
yillainous Board?

The Hillsville Carroll county, Virgieian.
whilst deprecating Che present agitation OF
the gubernatorial question as premature,
takes occasion to utter its dissent in en-
phatic terms to the proposition that General
Malone has any peculiar claim to the Office,
or that he will receive the support Of a ma
jority, or Of even any considerable number,
OF the people of Southwest Virginia for
that position. It.sayss a,1E ~
"Now, we have no axe to grind, neither
have we fallen SO deeply in love with the
present management OF the Atlantic, Mis-
sissippi and Ohio railroad as to condemn
General Mahone's management while presi-
dent OF the road, but we deny the fact that
the people OF this section want him for
Governor. lie may be all that his friends
clairn--a good railroad president. a praeti-
cal businessman, and good soldier-but,
notwithstap ding all these qualifications, we
but express the sentiments OF nine tenths
of the peop!e, of this section when we say
that be is not their choice for Governor"

WELLS endeavored to sell Louisiana to
the highest bidder. Colonel PICKETT, Of
Confederate-archive memory, sought the
position of grand high commissioner-the
illustrious go-between who should secure
the State Of Louisiana for TILDEN, and
many tens OF thousands for himself. But
his position was not authorized, nor his
power to treat recognized. SO WELLS was
turned over to the Republicans to secure
the reward for his villainy. The develop
ments expose pretty kettle of fish.

What has General Garfield done that
twenty-five Democrats Of the House should
refuse to cast their votes for him, as they
were in honor bound to do ?-Iribune.
The Gordonsville Gazette says that he
pronounces {" national" "nay-tional,"
" stigma" stigmay," "Capitoline"
"Capit'oline"; and he no doubt uses
"transpfred - for "hapr encd." JACK SED-
DON in 1860 said that he could have become
reconciled to the DOUGLAS Democrats if
they had not said " noy-tional." GARFIELD
is unfit for the place.

The Count

lis begun. Florida is the first station.
There the two houses separated, after refer
rinr the two returns from that State to the
electoral commission. 1t Is possible that
they may decide this case to-day, but not
probable. There must be argument on both
sides, and it is not likely that decision VIII
be reached without a good deal OF 1t.
Should the decision give the State to IIi.DkS'
that will settle the question, and perhaps
end the electoral commission, there being
no further occasion for It's arbitrament.
Should it give the State TO HAYES, then Lou

OF course the uncovered villainies OF the
southern returning boards, and the grand
fraud OF manufactured certificates about the
intimidation Of negroes, must end the mon
strous system by which Radicalism endea-

BILE that intelligent republican government
