MIR. BLAIR.s RESOLUTION.

We are not disposed to urge meas
ures which are calculated to disturb the
harmony, peace or prosperity of the
country; nor are we upon the other
hand inclined to suppress any move
ment, by whomsoever made, which is
designed to vindicate a principle or il
lustrate the true theory Of our electoral
system of President.
This is too important a question to
be governed by sentiment or prejudice.
We should boot the statesman who
would view it in SO narrow a light.
Whilst we are frank to admit with
the light before us-setting aside our
party tealty-we prefer Mr.. Hayes to
Mr.. Tilden, yet if Mr.. Hayes occupies
that high position of executive head OF
this nation through fraud, it is but con-
serving right and justice that he should
surrender the mantle of honor to him
who under the correct DEGREES of our
laws is entitled to it.
We have never regarded MIR. Hayes
as responsible in the slightest degree
for the questionable position he occu-
pies as President. 1t was party trick
or diplomacy, which however invoices
too sacred and important principle to
be treated with indulgence or tolerated
by a people desiring an honorable tree
government.
To say that because Mr. Hayes has
done right, has respected, obeyed and
executed the plain and just commands
of the constitution, he should not be
disturbed, is not in our judgment meet
ing the question.
The question to our comprehension
is, is Mr.. Hayes occupying the presl-
dency in conformity with an honest ex-
preston of the fairly elected electoral
college of his countrymen, as provided
for under our constitution?
We say again, with the experience
we have had with Mr.. Hayes, we are
satisfied with him, but NC want party
trickery subjected to the crueible of JUS
tice; we want it rebuked; we want the
theory of Republican (not black) gov
ernment vindicated. "Let justice be
done though the Heavens fall" He
who judges nations, as He does men,
will either destroy or build up, accord
ing to the right or wrong that is done.

p9~ The Rev. 7. Dewitt Talmage,
the noted New York Presbyterian
preacher, has been sojourning in the
South and gives the result of his obser-
walton in the following:
During my two weeks at the South,
mingling with all classes of people, and
in perpetual conversation, often incOg-
niiO, / heard not one unkind word to-
ward the North Or Northern people.
My opinion is that if a Northern man
gets hanged at the South, it is because
he deserves TO be hanged"

A VIrSiniam I'm New York

The New York correspondent of the
Springfield (NIass.) Republican writes: Gro.
ger Pryor is pegging away very quietly in
his law Office, with increasing business,
though it is not OF q very conspicuous char
acter nor very remunerative, | imagine,
for he does great deal OF work for poor
people; but he sticks SO closely to his basl-
ness that comparatively few people know
that lie is here, and one Of the most charac-
teristic representatives OF the southern
statesman. He is in constant communi-
cation with leading southern men, and
knows the true inwardness OF the south
ern feeling and policy in regard to seal
ing the State debts. He Is an intense
anti-repudiationist, and the very thought
OF thing so dishonorable makes him
SILVER with rage. But he Is fully persuaded
that the southern people are determined to
cut down their obligations materially, and
throw overheard the carpet-bag debts alto
gether, il possible. He thinks that when
the Federal Government required the
southern people to repudiate their Confed-
crate war debts it taught them lesson in
reputation which they are now disposed to
better. The public men OF the South nave
not done their duty in frownlng down TINS
feeling and teaching tho people better
policy, to say nothing Of honesty. Pryor IS
the soul Of honor, is chock-full OF the old.
fashioned Virginia chivalric sentiment, and
altogether too high-minded and large
thoughted to mix himself with our local
politics. And all the Democrats who know
him and are not politicians agree that he
ought to be in Congress"

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY.

GOODS MILL, ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, VA,
January /, 1878.
Editors Dispatch: All the principal pro-
Derty-holders with whom l have conversed
recently agree that the extension OF the right
OF suffrage accounts for the inferior quality
OF the members in our State Legislatures OF
late wears. The non-property-holders and
the floating population. who vote under our
Underwood Constitution, constitute IN
many counties y majority; consequently
we have many candidates who are dema-
gocueS enough 10 pander to the white
and black negroes for Office. L wish
we could get constitution that re-
ouired voters to be worth IN real
estate or It's equivalent say $1,000 at least.
l think then the people who bear the bur-
dens OF the government would Gas they
should) have the majority, but to arrive
at such qualification is the question.
Some say hold convention, and let us nave
a new constitution to that effect; but to
elect men to one who would vote for such
a one we are confronted by the rabble who
would elect majority OF demagogues who
would oppose such a restricting constitu-
ton. and if the Legislature submits amend
ments i, that effect for adoption the rabbie
would, at the instance OF the demagogucs,
vote it down; SO | am at loss to know
what our remedy is. Will you use your In
pilot us out OF our unpleasant situation
Revolution TO effect it Is to be deprecated.
Yours very truly, SAMUEL conner.

louisville on the Tobacco Tax.

Below we give the resolutions adopted
few days since by manufacturers and others
in the city Of Louisville:
RESOLVED, That it is the belief Of the to-
bacco trade Of Louisville, KY, that the tax
on manufactured tobacco should be reduced
to at least II cents per pound at the earliest
possible time.
Resolued. That we collectively and in
diyidually pledge ourselves to do all IN cur
power to obtain the desired end, and that
we will appoint t,ro Of our number COM
mittee to go to the capital and properly
present our cause before the Committee of
Ways and Means and the Finance Com
mittee.
Resotued. That we invite the active CO.
operation of all leaf-dealers and growers in
our efforts to have the tax reduced, and per-
manently fixed, so that it may not annually
be a disturbing element in the tobacco
trade.
1t was agreed upon at the meeting to
draw up memorial in connection with this
subject, to he signed by all the trade, to be
presented by Dir. Willis in due form at
Washington.

a BOLD RoBBERy.-Ne,c York, January
AN ingenious robbery was perpetrated
to-day, occasioning loss OF perhaps $780,
900 to the Young estate. A man called at
the office OF J. II. Young, at No. 40 Nassau
street, about noon, and asked to see dircc-
tory. then went out. Mr.. Young went
TO lunch, and the strangerreturned and said
to the book-keeper that a man..in carriage
at the door desired to see him. The book
keeper went down stairs, after locking the
door, and the stranger forced Mr.. Young's
door and stole fifty Alabama bonds of $1,000
and package OF securities, including GER
titcates OF stock in the name OF j. FL. Young,
which had been in the safe. Mr.. Young
thought his loss would amount to about
100000. Detectives were placed on the
case, but up TO late hour tonight no trace
OF the thief or property could be found. The
stranger is described as sandy-bearded
young man, about twenty-five years OF age,
tve feet six or seven inches in height, Of
slight build, and dressed in dark clothes.

The TAX ON SAVINGS BANKs.-The fol
lowing is the letter OF the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue relative to relieving all
savings banks from taxation:
WASHINGTON, December 7, 1877.
Hon. Randolph Tucker, House Of Repre-
SentdtiueS:
Sir,-I think it would be well for you to
consider the propriety of relieving all
savings banks throughout the country from
taxation, both upon capital and deposits.
BY reference to page % of my annual re-
port You will find that the total amount OF
taxes collected on capital Of all savings
banks during the past fiscal year was only
22,3S3.44, and on the deposits OF savings
banks S420, 397.63. The existing laws make
so great distinction between the different
classes OF savings banks as to taxation, and
so large an amount OF deposits is exempt
from taxation, that it occurs to me it would
be well to exempt capital and deposits OF
all savings banks throughout the country
from taxation. Very respectfully,
GREEN 3. RAUM, Commissioner.

A SPIRITED ENGAGEMENT - ADVANCE UPON
SOFIA.
BOGoT, January 3.-General Gourko
fought sever battle on the 31st December
at Tashersan before securing the Turkish

sued by cavalry. After halt for rest and
Reorganization General Gourke resumed
the advance upon Sofia.
MAY RUSSIA NEGOTIATE SEPARATELY
LONDON, January 3.-The Ivmes's special
from Vienna points out that, by admitting
that Russia may negotiate separately, the
Powers recognize the privileged position
she has SO long claimed in settlement of
the Eastern question; and to cancel which
was one OF the main objects, if not the
chief one, OF the treaty Of Paris. The
dispatch says: Sc By allowing Russia to take
upon herself the enforcement of certain
things upon Turkey, the Powers have in
deed already takeaa great stepin this direc-
ton, but SO long as Europe upheld the
principle that no negotiations could be car
ried on between the belligerents themselves,
this privileged position assumed by Russia
would close the moment negotiations be-
gan. If, on the contrary, the principle Of
separate negotiations is admitted, an excep-
tional proposition is thereby sanctioned,
and it becomes only question Of how far
this exceptional position is.to extend. The
firm ground is abandoned, and in spite Of
all reservations the Powers have given up
their right Of participating in the settle
ment Of the question. The disihcli-
nation shown by the British Government
to encourage separate negotiations is an in
dication that it was aware Of the import
ance Of the principle at stake; still, as the
principle, which is European one, and
could only acquire validity by the joint will
Of all, OF at least most of the Powers, has
been abandoned by all except England,
there remains but the alternative for Eng
land either to dispute siugle-handed the
claim Of Russia, or to follow the example
OF the other Powers and make reservations
on paper, or secure guarantees. 1t is not
likely, however, that anything decisive will
be done until Russia's reply has been Off
cially communicated by England. The de-
cision Of Turkey will no doubt depend in a
great measure on the decision Of England"

NORFOLK, January 3.-To-day about half

OLIVE met Mr.. j. w. Fuller, OF the

formed that pumping will begin at these
wells tomorrow, when all who have any
doubts about whether there IS oil in the
we'll in paving quantities can visit it and be
convinced by seeing the flow OF oil coming
out. These gentlemen have always been
hopeful Of abundant success in their enter
prise, and to-day they are overjoyed at their
prospects, having reached that point when
all doubts about oil in paying quantities
have been removed. The sinking OF new
wells By this company is progressing IS
rapidly as possible and we would not be
surprised to see as many as five wells in
working order on the leases OF this COM
