GREENBAcKS TRIUMPHANT.-Not
ing the opposition OF the Richmond DIS.
patch and State, the Lynchburg Virytnian,
aud all the bondhoiders' organs in the State
and out OIL. it, and Mr.. Sherman end bis
Ohio speech thrown in, greenbacks have
triumphed in old Virginia. We were not
mistaken in the views o. Mr.. Tucker, as the
Virqinidn would have made our readers be.
lieYe. Me'is us good Greenbacker as we
could desire, and declares himself as opposed
to national banks; in favor OF State banks
and all measures tending to give the people
relief from Oppressive Federal legislation.
We congratulate the whole people OF the
district on Mr.. fuckers denomination, be-
leying that he will in the future, rs in the
past, make an able, fearless, and faithful
representative in Congress. We shall give
him our most cordial and earnest support,
and have no doubt OF his unanimous re-
election. ..-..... ....-.
We are also pleased to notice, from the
letter Of acceptance Of General Joseph r.
Johnston, OF the Richmond district, that
he is with the people on the great question
OF the day. Read his letter in another
column. He is in favor OF greenbacks,
wants national banks closed out, and the
tobacco tax and all other extortions dis
pensed with. 1t is now plain that the whole
Virginia delegation In the next Congress
will be in accord with the people on these
great questions, except, perhaps, DR.. Jor-
gensen, who, if elected, we have some hope
that he will break party ranks. so far as these
issues are concerned.
We now see no need for the further dis
cussion of financial questions to the exclu-
sion of more general information. and in
the future our columns will contain a
greater variety Of reading on all important
subjects. There is no longer any contro-
yersy about greenbacks in Virginia. They
have carried the day and gained the victory.
Lynchburg Ne,es. ..l@
We are satisfied with the nominees, and
with the platforms. Indeed, the Dispatch
reproduced and accepted the THURMAN plat
form the day Mr.. THURMAN laid it down, and
before any other person or paper, so far as
we know. had formulated creed for the
Conservative party. We shall support all
the candidates that put themselves on that
platform. And we are glad to have the help
of the Nens. ~.
What say the Greenbackers here? Ii
they have gained victory, why don't they
enjoy it.? -. ...s.- ..

tainly; at present the merchants Of Rich
mond rely upon that railroad as making
possible their great trade with North and
South Carolina and Georgia. have myself
met the same day seven drummers from
Richmond ut Greenvilie, South. Carolina.
The road is doing much for us.
Ii is turning the cotton trade through
our city. With little enterprise
on the part OF our merchants Rich
.mond can at once become great cotton
centre. But our grocers and dry.goods
merchants and other citizens do not see that
this trade win do them even more good than
n will, do for the few cotton-factors engaged
in burins; and selling the cotton. tits q
well.known truth that where planters sell
their cotton they also buy their household
supnlles. There they carry their families
ON visits. In short, the city in which their
cotton d sold becomes their city. The rail-
roads md Richmond must wake up to this
and nut forth their energies and enterprise.
It requires but little money to secure atonce
this great cotton trade. It has been rem
dered possible by the Improvement OF the
river, which now affords depth OF water
that admits any ship that can now come to
