Those Southern journals which boast over
;'Solid Democratic South" should not for
get that a re-apportionmens of representa-
tioh must take place after the census of
1880. There will be an increase of political
power, under that apportionment, in every
section of the Union, except the South, ia
king out Texas. After 1880 the South will
not have more than one-f fourth of the polit-
lcal power of the country, if that much. A
'''solid South" by the ethods now adopted
to secure that result, will assuredly insti-
gate the resentment of the other port ions of
the Union. and with three fouths to one
fourth, legislation will be enacted in the
interest Of the three fourths rather than the
one-fourth. This ''solid South" business, in
the interest OF sectionalism, caused trouble
enough in 1861. The same spirit of arrogance,
reckless, fanatical selfshness which controli-
ed then, seems to be asserting itself now,
and while it may develop in different way,
it will be followed by results almost equally
detrimental to Southern interests. No more
harmful policy could be framed for the South
that its partizan oneness under the inspira-
ton Of hate for the results of the war. The
laws as they are should be honestly obeyed,
and the people educated to live up to them,
and away from the contentious and injuries
which this resistance is sure to entail.

The Presidents policy as it is called,
towards the South, was mapped out in his
letter accepting the nomination of the Gin
cinnati Convention, and in his inaugural adj
dress. All that is necessary is for him to
what motives and considerations have gov
erned him since. They need no explana-
ton or elaboration. He has carried out the
assurances he gave to the very letter, and if
such results have not followed as he had
hoped would, he is not to blame. The fault
is elsewhere.

False Economy.

The most unreasonable and unjustifiable
legislation that the Democratic Congress has
forced, lis the niggardly appropriation for
the Post Office Department. The business
of that branch of the Government is pecu-
liarly the business of the people, and every
day enlarged facilities for the convenience
Of the public are being arranged by the
sagacity, fidelity and energy!of the Post
Office officials. No practical suggestion can
reach the Postmaster General from any
promptly availed of to accommodate the bu-
siness interests of the people, and whatever
expense is incurred is for the benefit of the
people. As it is the peoples money that
pays for these services, there is no reason or
fairness in gripping the Department in its
effort to aid the business communities of the
country in securing speedy and frequent
nter-communicatio ns. Here in Staunton,
within the past eighteen months, our mail
facilities have been doubled, and there is not
a business man in the community who would
not protest against the parsimony that re-
fuses payment for such services. Yet there
has been no extra expense incurred. The
labor of the post office officials has been
greatly increased, but not one dollar of ex-
ira allowance made for it, either for convey
ance or handling. And the only comp lalnt
that is made is that Congress, under false
notion of economy, is absolutely Gripping
the endeavors of the Depaitmen to accom-
modate the people.

There are more real friends of the South
in the Republican party North than in the
Democratic party. The former sincerely
want to see the South prosperous and hap
Ply, while the latter care nothing about the
material interests of the South, so they keep
it a political unit to help them to the spoils
of office. II the Southern people would
leave off the prejudice to the name of Re
publican, they would speedily recognize the
truth of what we say. There is more brains,
more true craftsmanship, more philan-
thropy among the Republicans than the
Democrats North, and more earnest desire
for the peace and progress Of the whole
country.

What has become of the VALLEY VIRGIN
IAN? 1t is the only Republican paper in
the State, and by not receiving it we are de-
barred the sweet privilege Of saying a num-
Der of mean things.-Ric7nond Standard
By an oversight, or carelessness, the Stand
ard has not heretofore been regularly on our
books. We regret this, however, because
we regard it as model weekly, not only as
to Typography, but in the manner and mat
ter of its make up. Hereafter the VIRGIN
IAN will be sent to it regularly, and its ed
itors prepared to endure all the mean things
our contemporary may find it in its heart to
say about it. We had gotten callous about
that kind OF remark, and rarely expected any
thing else, being the only Republican paper
in the State, until we succeeded in getting
the Conservative papers into each others
wool on the State debt question. Since then
they have been so busy abusing each ether
and exposing the shortcomings of their-own
party, that we have escaped their attention,
in degree. Il is about time, however, for
them to return to ''their mutton" and so
we will not be surprised at anything mean
the STANDARD may have to say about the
VIRaINIAN, although it may spoi! its pretty
face by such indulgence.

There are two things to be done which are
absolutely indispensable to the prospe rity Of
Virginia, viz: The settlement of the State
debt question, so that there will be no more
default in interest; and the unquestioned
assurance that the public schools are to be
maintained without stint or hindrance.
With these two questions settled and re-
moved from the realm OF doubt, as well as
from political disputation, it would not be
six months before real estate would adj
vance on an average all over the State of
twenty-five per cert. We would see whole
columns of emigrants turning from the. West
to Virginia industries of all description
springiag up, and general thrift and pros
perity prevailing throughout the State.

We find this paragraph in the Wytheville
Dispatch:
1.-The fact is, Gen. John Echols was the
only anti-greenbacker, and he was forced
to withdraw in favor of John L. Harris.
greenb hacker"
We should not notice the assertion here
made and give it the Importance OF con-
tradiction, but for the reason the impression
it conveys is entertained by some Of Capt.
Paul's friends in the Valley. Gen Echols
withdrew in favor of neither of the 9th er
candidates. He was thinking of neither in
connection with his card of withdrawal
He believed that the sentiment in favor of
the positions he assumed on State and ma
tional questions, would mot be represented
in the vote cast for him, because of the COM
initials as to one or the other of his com :
petitors, previous to his announcement. 1t
was concern for the cause he spoke for, and
not any personal considerations whatever.
He had accomplished all, it was believed,
that could be effected in the canvass, and
all, indeed, that he expected to accomplish, ,
directing popular thought to the questions at
issue, and exposing the fallacies of bis oppo-
| nents, especially on the national finance
question. That this was effectually done, no
one can well deny. Not only this, but a
strength and extent of conviction on this
subject was developed, that was really sur
prising. We may safely assume that the
absent vote-over one-haf of that regis
tered-in the district was substantially a
verdict for honest money, while many who
voted for either Judge Harris or Capt. Paul,
were opposed to the views they presented
| in their public speeches, bnt were influenced
by personal considerations to par ticipate IN
the election.
The candidacy and the canvass of Gen.
Echols were above the tricks and devices of
the trading politician, and the response
given wherever he spoke, showed that he
the people sympathized with the effort to
elevate the politics of the district above the
thrilling and baldcrdash which have been too
prevalent heretofore. Whatever else was
effected by his speeches, the truth was made
plain that the people are tired of the blather-
ing style Of politics, and in future will make
it very apparent that no one can command
their support who does not understand the
questions he essays to discuss and comp1e-
bend the true interests of the country, as
well as the dignity of the positio on of men,

Col. Lowe, the recently elected Green
back Congressman from the Eighth Alabama
District, says he does not intend to go into
the Democratic caucus. He will act with his
Greenback colleagues, as independents, and
with direct reference to Greenback interests,
regardless Of either Of the old parties. 1t
seems that if the Democrats desire to con-
troll the organization o. the Forty-Sixth
Congress, they will have to make conces-
sions to the Greenbackers, as they will in all
probability, hold the balance of power. The
more they concede the worse it will be for
them, for in the degree the Democrats be-
come identified with the Nationals, to that
degree do they weaken their organization.
The trials of the Democracy are truly griev-
GUS.

there were blank hours, and strange, wild
dreams, and she awakened in the twi.
light and found herself bound fast to q
great armchair, long cords about her
arms tying her hands and combining her

So her servants found her; but she
was the only living being in the great

black servants had vanished, no one
knew whittier.
The empty bottle of chloroform on the

were set upon his track.
Ida Halifont lived through it all. She
lives to-day in the quiet house beside
the river, but no one has ever seen her
smile since that hour. No one will ever
see her smile again; and from her deep
est slumbers she often starts in terror,
fancying that she sees uplifted mena-

marked with the blood-red stain. There
is no hope of happiness for her, for she
never can forget that this arm has also
embraced her.
