A Response from AIexundria.
TGazeltc, 2Sth.]

The State Central Committee OF the Con-
servative party will meet in Richmond on
the 7th proximo, for what purpose the call
does not state, but we trust to make such
arrangements that in the election for mem
beers of the General Assembly to be held in
the fall no man can become nominee OF the
Conservative party unless he shall agree 10
oppose utterly the schemes Of the reaaiust-
crs for rc0rGanizing the Court Of Appeals
and unScttlns the State-debt question.
That question has now been settled accord
ing to the views Of i majority OF the people
OF the State, a majority OF the members OF
the last General Assembly, and majority
of those most interested in the States well
fare, and all attempts to unsett!e it, at least
until sufficient time shall have elapsed to
test It's efficiency, should he opposed by the
united strength OF tue party.

We bave no objection to the regulators
making their speeches in this county, and
are very DESTROYS that they should come.
The people only want to hear their doc.
trines to become the more thoroughly
disguised with such a party. But this
does not alter the proposition that thew
had better be at home and at work"

~ running up and down the country ped

The Marion Patriot Herald has iniorma-
ton that the Hon. j. C. Shannon, OF Smytb..
will be candidate for reelection, and adds
that he Is the strongest man the 6 funders .
can run In that county. We hope the peo-
pie Of Smyth and Bland will return Mr.
Shannon to the Legislature next winter.
and not turn out good representative.
Oglesby, OF Wythe, and Johnston, OF this

The Mozarters.

The Convention held in Mozart Hall last
February formally organized new parry
and adopted new Shibboieth. Its creeo
consists OF one article-namely, opposition
70 the MGCULLoCH bill. 1t appointed STATE
executiye committee and chairmen OF coun'
r. md city committees, and also provided
for nominating candidates Of its own TOT
the General Assembly. In Word' II
set of politicians ever formally as
solved their connection with their for
mer associates the Mozart-Hall faction
renounced all allegiance to the Conservative
party. It was open to that body to claim to
be the true Conservative party, and TO de-
nounce the friends Of the MCCULLocH Dill
as boilers, or bogus Conservatives. But they
chose to organize a new party, repudlate
the State Central Committee Of the Con-
seryatiye party and all its officials from the
highest to the lowest. They set up for them
selves. They formed new party. and lief:
the Conservative party in the hands OF the
State Central Committee appointed by the
State Conservative Convention OF 1877, and
the subordinate officials acting under the
direction of that committee.
1t is too late now for these boilers to
claim to be Conservatives. tits too late for
them to gobDle up our organization and
call it theirs. It is too late for them to fight
even within the Conservative party. They
have seeded. They have renowned and
denounced that party.
But it is hopeful sign tor the Conserva-
tive cause that the Mozarters are afraid to
stand by their colors-that they begin
already to cry out that they are Conserva-
tives-that they are unwilling to meet the
fate which they have invoked upon them
selves. II so soon they raise the cry that
they are OF our household, the battle against
them has only to be continued a little longer
with sharpness, CELEBRITY, and constancy, to
compel complete surrender Oh the part OF
all who have not made up their minds to
60 over to the GRANT party. 80.

A Dangerous TOrpOr.

Torpor or Inactivity of the kidneys is
seriously dangerous to those organs,
since it is the precedent OF diseases
which destroy their substance and en-
danger life. This sluggishness may be
overcome by stimulating them, not ex-
cessively, but moderately-an effect pro.
duced by Hostetter's Bitters, q general
tnvigorant and Alternative, possessing d.
uretic properties Of no common order.
The impetus which this admirable medi-
cine gives to their evacuative functions
counteracts any tendency to congestion
which may exist In their tissues. Both
they and their associate organ, the blad-
der, are invigorated as we'll as gently
stimulated by the Bitters, which exert o
kindred influence upon the stomach,
liver and bowels, and by strength ening
the system enables 1t TO Withstand ma.

The Associated Press is very
careful to give but a limited degree
Of attention to such developments
OF the Potter Committee as show
the unparalleled fraud employed
By the Republicans In Louisiana.
Not only did the Returning
Boards, by rank perjury and fraud,
declare the State for Hayes when
TiIdsn had carried it by m majorlty
Of nearly ten thousand, but the
certificates on which Mr.. Hayes
was declared President have been

Lsvisee and Joffrion, on the oaths
Of these electors themselves, to

lowing curious evidence, as tele-
graphed to the New York Sun:
The examination to-day of Kelly,
who was Kellogg's messenger, and
who had, with Conquest Clark.
ksllogg's private secretary, charge
Of the preparation and signing
Of the second set of eleoto.
raj certificates, developed an
other aud darker phase of
the vile forgery by which the
electoral vote OF Louisiana was
counted for Hayes. Kelly had
asked on Saturday last for time to
consult counsel before he should
Answer the question as to whether
or not he forged the names of Lev
isee and Jofffion to the second set
OF electoral certificates. This was
= mere ruse. He wanted to seem
reluctant, and undoubtedly had
been instructed In the game he was
10 play. The ground on which he
deelInsd to answer then was fear
that he might criminate himself.
To-day, when called TO the stand,
he promptly answered that he did
not commit the forgery. When
the next question was put.

The report of the expert, Mr.. II.
II. Spencer, which Is published in
our local columns, shows that the
alleged defalcation of the late City
Tax Collector amounts to slightly
upwards of $4,000. We designed
ly use the expression "alleged" be-
cause we understand that Mr.. Ca
rillo has, under the law, until the
first of February to make good his
accounts. A conversation with a
number Of gentlemen tolerably well
versed in our local finances leads us
to think that the figures are exag-
gerated. Should the city sustain
SO severe a less as that ascertained
by the expert it will prove griev-
our calamity in times of such ex
ceptional stringency asths present.

witnessed such painful sacrifices on
the part of our people to pay theIl
taxes as have characterized the

quently, find great difficulty in re.
conclling themselves to the loss o1
SO formidable sum. However
there are two chances that they
may not be called upon to do SO
The first Is that Carrillo or his

crepancy which appears to exist
between the amount of moneys re-
ceived by him for the city and duly

and the second is that his bonds.
