million times over more fatal Recon
struction," and the negroes thrust
from their natural orbit, those grand
plantations on the coast transform
edinto desolation and waste, are drift
ing back into their original sayagery,
hand in hand with the negro march
for his original Africanism. The vast
leyees always were and always must
be mainly kept up by the planters
themselves, and as they were so out
rageously robbed and impoverished
by the beastly carpet-bagger and their
labor lost, Of course they could not
keep up their leyees, and vast regions
Of fertile land under water for months,
followed by burning suns of the South
there comes back upon them this
fearful pcstilence-as absolutely, how
eyer indirectly, the work Of the Glib
erty-loving North as if Lincoln,
Seward, Grant Hayes, etc, had super
intended it personally.
If, therefore, the situation were
accepted, thirty years hence the white
people would substantially abandon
the country south ola certain latitude,
and the lower Mississippi Valley be
lost to civilization. But that fatality
will not happen. The recoil on the
North will cnlighten the blind auth
ors of this awful deyilmcnt; and with
a few more turns Of the screw, even
Mr.. Hewitt and his Congressional
Committee will understand the cause
of "hard times" and then the South
will rise up like a giant refreshed and
lead the whole land in the great work
Of restoration.--N. Y. Day Book.

THE GREENBAcKERS.
Their Nominees.

The nominee for State Senate
William T.. Watson-ls man Of am
ple means and large landed estate To-
Gated near Shutdown in this county
All his life he has followed The bust
ness of farming and grazing and
sometimes engaged in buying and
shipping stock and produce, a is
known all over this and adjoining
counties as a gentleman of strict in
iegrity. always upright and honora-
hle i'm his dealings and kind and
courteous in his demeanor. While
he is modest and unassunIing in his
manners, Mr.. Watson is man OF no
mean ability. lie possesses a good
education and is refined and polished
jan his snanners and if elected would
mt Oisce assume an attitude of promi-
nence and influence in the Senate.
1t is undoubtedly to the advantage
of the people Of our county to elect
Mr.. Watson.
Noah Henderson and James Hare,
Cor the House of Delegates, are both
farmers WIN have all their lives re-
sided in this county, and have given
their time and energies to the i'm
provement Of their community.
While they are men of culture, abili-
~ and intelligence, they are ilenti-
fled with the farming and laboring
classes of people and would always
he in sympathy with the masses.
They are both men of sterling integ-
rity and no consideration would in
duce them to favor any unjust lcgis-
Iati0n. a few years ago when an eff
Tort was made to dutach Battelle Dis
trict from this county, Mr.. Hender-
son opposed it with great force and
energy and went amongst the people
and got them to subscribe petitions
to The legislature protesting against
any such measure. Heretofore Mr..
Henderson has been Republican,
while Mr.. Hare has been cnnserva-
tive Democrat. Henderson and Hare
are the right men for the right
places.
Marshall NJ. Dent, for Clerk of the
County Court, is well known all over
the county. lie is son of DIR. NJ.
Dent, of Granville, was, before the
late civil war, clerk of the county
court of this county and we are sure
we are correct when we say that the
Office was never graced with more
ability than while occupied by Mr..
Dent. In fact he is admitted to be
thebe& clerk in the State. Mr.. Dent
was delegate from this county to
the Virginia convention in 1861 and
voted against the ordinance Of seces-
sion, since when he has been very
me derate Democrat, but abstainipg
entirely from politics. lie ought to
be elected by all means.
David WeidInan. for Clerk of the
Circuit Court, is gentleman of ster-
ling integrity and affable manners.
He has long been resident of this
county and has followed Il variety OF
vacations, farming, merchandising
and manufacturing on small scale.
Mr.. Weidman is well educated and
is a Gne surveyor, is frequently Sc
lected by the county to make parti-
tions and execute orders Of survey in
finding cases and was once elected
county surveyor by the people of
this county, which Office he filed
with eulire satisfaction to the people.

our public debt held abroad and the
duties on imports, that money must,of
necessity, be kept scarce and greatly
inadequate to the wants Of trade and
labor, for Congress cannot regulate
or fix the yied Of our gold and silver
mines beyond the capacity God has
given them, while both these classes
know equally well that if the Govern
ment adopts the so-callcd Greenback
Theory or basis that then Congress
cannot only regulate and fix the val
ne, but also the amount or quantity
Of money that shall be made and put
in circulation, and that it ought, and
Of right. will see to it that the amount
shall be adequate to the just de
mands of trade aad labor, then the
Shylock's avocation and monopoly
will be of the things past and gone;
then, again, will equality and pros
perity reign triumphant over all.
But another fundamental difference
between these two classes is this; the
hard money, or bondholder class, want
to keep the iHtereSt-beariHg debt Of
the Government at its present huge
proportions, for they know full well,
as does every sane and well inform
ed man, If that debt is ever paid, or
reduced to u non-intcrcst bearing
debt, it must be SO done with green
backs, to very great extent, for we
have not more than one-sixteenth
enough gold and silver coin to pay
them with and never can have
enough.
The Grcenback class is in favor Of
reducing and paying off that interest
bearing bond debt with any lawful
par money, whether gold, silver or
greenbacks (for they are all practie
ally Of the same value now and thus
convert the debt of the Government
to non interest bearing debt and
thereby lessen the Pablo debt to the
extent of the interest accruing there
Oh, which amounts to largely over
one hun lred millions OF dollars annu
ally, aal which would equal the prin
cipal debt in about sixteen years.
In other words, the amount Of money
necessary to pay the interest alone on
the public debt would wholly pay off
and extinguish that debt in sixteen
years if noa-intercst bearing, go that
if the bondholders' theory is adopted
in sixteen years, the Government will
have paid by taxes, and from the peo
pie, sum equal to what the debt
now is, AMI then leave US as we began,
that is, owing the whole p,ia sipal
debt, whereas, if the Greenback theo-
ry be adopted at the end Of that six
teen years without any increase Of
our taxes or burdens, the whole debt
will he paid off and discharged. But
not only SO, the large debt Of the Coy
eminent that is not now money, but
only evidence Of debt, appalling and
perpetual, will be converted into mo!
ey, passing into the hands fthe peo-
pie, accessible alike to the rich and
the poor, thereby giving new life to
industry, enterprise all honest toll.
We then ask the honest toiing mil
lions of the country, which OF these
two theories will You adopt? To
which of these classes will YOU iient-
ify yourselves?

Chestnut Ridge Festival.
E{it0rS Ncr D0miRi0n.

Tle luminous orb ofday had pass
ed far beyond the western horizon in
all his ethereal greatness, and pale Lu-
ia had assumed her power as fair
empress Of the night, when we arrived
at Chestnut Ridge, where q large
number had already met for the pur-
pose of having u sociable time BY
the happy expressions of merriment,
we soon perceived we had anchored
at tie right harbor for enjoyment.
Lovely maidens were present, dressed
and deckcd in all theshighest styles
of modern fashion, ready to assist in
making the evening one to be long re-
membered as browning acme of pleas
ure. Youths endowed with all the en-
telli hmcnts Of health and beauty.
Many also yerging on the blidl of
declining age, both males and fe-
males.
This festival was organized for the
financial benefit Of the Union Sunday
School. The ability demonstrated in
appointing candidates, and filling va
cancies, is to he highly complimented.
The candidates were ladies Of unusu-
al beauty and accomplishments. We
had scarcely time to get to the door
before we were asked to vote, which
We were enabled to do as the votes
were only five cents each. The voting
was very spirited, and the ladies very
taikatiNc. No Gle cCu.d lie stang
ei' long on that occasion, nor did we
feel lonely when We saw the faces, and
heard tn. voices of, oar Old frien Is,
Jerry joe Uncle Md liz and
WIN. ]" The table was laden
with all the dclicacies of the day,
and was presided over by many friend
" faces, among which was the most
estimable wife Of Capt" McVicker.
The refreshments were too good to
speak Of, and were sold to those able
to pay for them, ard Ciren to the
poor. In our time we never attended
a more pleasant entertainment than
the one we ask, through the medium
Of your columns, to inform the resi-
dents of this locality of.
The ca1dilates were, Misses Car
RE Vandervort and Ada Moore, for
the ring; the decision of the tellers
gave the ring to Miss Nandcryort by
l27 votes. The pencil was awarded
to Miss Lizzie Protzman, she having
l02 votes more than Miss Lou Dean.
The cake was presented to Miss Eva
McNicker by 40 votes over the num-
Der Miss Sallie Nangilder had. Miss
Eva deserves the thanks Of all for her
kindness in dividing the awarded
cake to all that voted for her. We
freely class her the ''blue- eyed belle"
of the Ridge. Miss-Lizzie Anderson
acted in place of Miss Carrie Wander
wort, and will please accept our thanks
for kind lady-like treatment. The
proceeds in full were $3.50. After
singing one song by the town choir,
we left for home, feeling it were well
we were there.
Long shall we remember the happy
hours spent there and the faces we
saw, and should it not he our fortune
to meet again at the Ridge, we shall
keep fresh in our memory the forms
and deeds of all, and wish them a
pleasant, prosperous future, dalken
ed with no shadow of misfortune.
