from National military interference, which no one
desires, but also free from the interference and vo
olence of so-caed State militia and the assassins
who with deadly weapons have seized the polls in
many of the Southern States, driving innocent and
defenceless voters from the ballot.box and making
a mockery of elections, which war upon free suffrage
has been made distinct political issue by every
Democrat in the Senate and House voting against a
measure designed to prevent and suppress it,
.. 1ouphod the financial credit of the Government
and to assure to the people of all sections sound

Like every new discovery, all of its good results,

Shenandoah Valley Railro ad i.

The friends Of this important improve.
ment will be gratifed to read the following
paragraph taken from the Baltimore Amers-
can of the Goth ult.
SIT is stated on good authority that by a
recent arrangement more than $4,000 600
have been secured for the Shenandoah VAL
ley Railroad, which will insure its early
completion to the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad at one end and its connection with
the Western Maryland at the other. Thirty
miles Of the line are finished thirty miles
more are nearly ready for the rails. The
money all comes from Northern capitalists,
and from $780, 900 to 5000, 900 have already
been expended. This road, when completed,
will make connection with the Baltimore
and Ohio at Charlestown and Duffield. in
Virginia, and Keedysville, in Maryland"
1t will also connect with the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad, somewhere between
Fishersville and South River, the connec-
ton to be determined by the route it will
take through the Valley. If it is located, as
some suppose, with view to the develop
ment of the mineral interests in So nth
Mountain, it will 90 east of Waynesboro,
traversing along forty miles of iron and
manganese deposits, and making connection
further south with the system of Southern
railroads. Whichever route it may take, it
will develop and accommodate rich coun-
ry,and prove an important agentin opening
up the agricultural and mineral districts Of
the Valley.

Brave Action in Frederick County.

Col. E. P. cambridge has been chosen in
Frederick county as the candidate OF the
friends of the McCulloch bill irrespective OF
parties,f for the Legislature. Republicans and
Conservatives, who favor the present debt set
tlement, are acting in harmony and making
common cause for the credit Of the State. We
earnestly hope every Republican in that
county will give Mr.. cambridge active support
and throw his influence in behalf of final
disposition of this vexed question. There is
probably greater responsibility resting upon
Republicans in this contest than upon either
wing OF the conservative party. They hold
the balance of power, and will determine
| the issue either one way or the other, and in
view of the principles and record of their party
in national affairs, would be al anomalous
position for them to oppose plan of SETTLE
ment which so nearly embraces the ele-
ments of exact justice, and involves SO d.
rectly the public faith of the State.
Mr.. cambridge is a gentleman of high
character and intelligence, neither politi-
| clan nor an office seeker, and has been
called to serve liz this contest because OF his
conservative and rational views of the inter-
est involved, and his sensible conclusion as
to the legislation at issue. The most ardent
readiuster, it seems. to us, can support him
and the declaration upon which he announces
himself. He says;
"Having carefully considered the bill for
settlement of the public debt, and the pres.
ent revenues of the State, am satisfied that
those revenues are ample to meet the eX-
penses of government, economically admin
istered, to give the fullest support to the
public schools, and to pay the interest upon
that look to an increase OF the burdens of
taxation now borne by our people,"

Confederate money, in the original consid-
Grafton of the question at issue. the recog-
milton of the debt which at least constitutes
the present basis of settlement, in 1866,
1867, 1871 and 1879, by the representatives
of the people, is invested with as much
sanctity as any other act emanating from
the relation between representative and
constituent. Concession after conces-
sion has been made by the creditor, until
the formulated debt conforms to the extrem-
est demand Of the constituent body, as
expressed drought the various forms we have
mentioned, and now to reject his offer would
be an act of bad faith, according to our I'M
Outstanding of it, which would severely re-
fleet upon the common honesty Of the people,
to say nothing of that sentimental honor,an
appeal to which is to the rc-adjusters OF Mr..
Barbour's class like cold water to an animal
that has freely partaken Of dose Of strycl-
nine.
To our mind, there is nothing pract ical
in Mr.. Barbour's objection to the McCulloch
Bill To admit his ability and ingenuity in
making the best of bad case, would be
nothing more than simple truth. Nor do
! we doubt his devotion to his State or ques-
ton the motives which have invited him to
the labor of preparing the paper we insert
to-day. The careful reader, however, will
detect throughout the entire production, a
striving after objections that are not rele-
want to the point at issue before the
people-whether the obligations imposed
by the settlement can be met without
an increase OF the aggregate OF the
reyenues-and which can have no 9th
er effect than to confuse the minds
of those who harbor a disposition to
antagonize the McCulloch Bill, Or any
other adjustment that recognizes the cred
itors as having any rights at all. We could
with impunity have allowed his letter to go
to our readers without any reference to it
! whatever, confident that their intelligence
and information upon the subject dis
cussed, would be ample to answer his OBJ
| jections and expose the specious reasoning he
has resorted to to fortify his attitude OF OPP
position and excite distrust against the Nc
| Culloch Bill. What we have said has been
hastily thrown together, without that meth
cd which more time for preparation would
have assured, but sufficiently connected, we
trust, to point out the sophistry, irreleyancy
and inappositiveness of not only Mr.. Bar
bour's reasoning but his assumptions.

Progress of Re-funding.

A statement from Second Auditor Rogers,
published in the Dispatch Of the LIST. an
nounces that $S,049, 449.70 of the public
debt had already been funded under The
McCulloch bill. The law requires that
100000 shall have been funded by the LIST
Of January next, in order to make it effec-
tive. The amount has been reached three
months in advance of that time. 1t also re-
quires that the proportion Of the two classes
of bonds shall be two Of consol to one of
peeler. It stands now : of consuls, $5,621,-
5lO.54; of peeler, 50, 427 $780, e-aggregating,
as above stated, ss,O49,49.70. This Is an
excess Of consol bonds Of s7e5,642.2S. The
amount secured to the State in interest, an
nually, on the stock already funded, is
$24O, 900, and the amount Of coupons receiv-
able for taxes, issued under the old funding
act, will be reduced by the operation of the
funding now done by the sum, annually, of
16s,e45.Sl. This is a very gratifying ex-
hibit, and fixes che contract character OF the
law

The Blue and the Gray.

The ex-Confederate soldiers in San Fral-
cisco, met Gen1 Grant at the City Hall on
the 25th. In replying to remarks of con-
graduation on his return to his native
country, Gen. Grant made the following
terse and appropriate speech:
ssGentlemen.-It has afforded me great
satisfaction and pleasure to observe the very
cordial reception I have received here, and
especially the welcome coming from the
gentlemen you represent. If you had trav-
elled around the world as have for several
years past you would appreciate, like me,
the value Of our common country m ore COM
rletely than any man who stays at home.
You would be everywhere gratified to see
that we are recognized by all the nations on
the earth in higher light than our own
people imagine. Our resources are consid-
cred unlimited, and when one gets to see
the nations of the world and considers, he
begins to appreciate the inestimable value
of our broad acres and the great energy of
our people that is forever upbuilding in State
and city and town.
st affords me great satisfaction and
pleasure to receive the gentlemen who were
long ago opposed to us, and hope, il this
country ever sees another war we shall all
be together under one flag, fighting a CON-
mon enemy"
The South has no truer friend than Genl
Grant, and this fact will be recognized by
impartial men, when the bitterness OF par
tizan feeling is allayed and the opportunity
presented for just judgment of his motives
and actions. A faithful observance of the
constitution and laws, in spirit and lette, ris
all that he ever asked or expected. Return
ing from his remarkable and unprecedented
travels, and observation of the habits, GUS
toms and institutions of other nations, he is the
better prepared to appreciate the people and
the government of his own country and to
invoke the harmony and concord of the Sec
tions which at one time were at war with
each other, to the end that all the people
may unite their efforts to advance the gran
deur and promote the happiness of the citl-
ZenS of our common country.

A Rebuke to Kearneyism

On the night Of Gen. Grants arrival at
San Francisco, Dennis Kearney called at the
Hotel where he was stopping, and sent in
his card. Gen. Grant refused to receive
either the card or Kearney-a rebukc proper
ly administered, and at the same time illustra.
ex President. The unblushing effrontery of
Kearney consisted in the fact that he had
declared that Gen. Grant ought to be burnt
in effigy on his arrival ON the Pacific coast.
and then TO have sought to thrust his person
in the presence OF him whom he was disposed
to thus insult. The action of Gen. Grant
had significance in another and broader
sense, and that is, that ne has no sympathy
with agitators and communists, and the
spirit that instigates The mob and leads to
violence to attain its object. What DO
ltical aspirant in this country would
have had the courage to have affronted man
of Kearney's position with certain of
the voting classes. and given him to under
stand that his methods and influence might
the refusal to receive Kearney on the part
of Gen. Grant was because of his instinc
tive aversion to the wild and reckless no.
tons Of the sand lot politicians, yet it had
another meaning of an impressive charac-
ter. 1t meant that the legislation of the
country which embodies the intelligence
and patriotism of the nation-which aims at
the conservation of the order and the
the healthy condition of society and the
regulation of legitimate business in the in
terest of all classes of citizens, is that which
has his sympathy and will receive his en-
couragement. It was notice to agitators
and disorganizers everywhere, that this is
a country Of law, and that mob violence and
assaults upon the safeguards Of community
and government, must count on him as
their uncompromsing enemy. 1t was an
invitation to all men who aspire to serve
their country, either by example as citi-
zens, or in public position, to assert the pre-
rogative of intelligence andcunservatism, and
their independence Of the fawning dema-
gogue, who would compromise himself and his
country by appeals to the basest passions of
human nature.for place and power. No act OF
Gen. Grants life will have more powerful
effect in allaying partizan prejudice against
him with the intelligent and conservative
elements of society, or give him more en-
viable prominence with the friends OF law
and order, irrespective of partizan utilization.
1t is by such examples and such spirit that
our institutions are to be preserved-the SUI
premacy Of law asserted and maintained
and the loose and incendiary spirit of the
mob rebuked and allayed,

Mr.. Tilden has unbosomed himself as to
the Southern Democracy. He freely con-
demns the record ma de by that party in the
last Congress on the question of State sover-
eighty, and kindred subjects. and intimates
that the Northern Democracy can't stard
everything. Itstrikes us that If the South
can rest under the load of the Northern
Democracy, there should not be any COM
plaint from that source.
