The Mint Spring Debating Society's Final
Meeting.
Correspondence of the staunton v1ND1cAToE

Correspondence of the Staunton vIND1cAToR.l
MINT SPRING, VA, April 7h.-Our
debating society, pursuant to adjourn
ment on the third Friday night of last
month, met on the evening of the 4th inst.
before a pleasant gathering. In the alb
sence of the president, Mr.. John Dixon
filled the chair. The minutes of the pre-
vious meeting were read by the secretary,
and approved. In consequence of the
presidents failure to be on time a saluta-
tory did not open the programme. Master
G. II. Grills, declaimer, being introduced, ,
greatly amused the spectators by his ex-
cellent recital of the peculiar and mirth-
provoking witticism contained in the
bachelors Confession" The essay, so
admirably read by Mr.. W. A. Wilson. in
Guided a general field of topics, one of
which embraced very happy description
of the bald-headed president and other
officers of the Stringtown Debating CLUB.
Next in order came the question for
debate-"Is the U. S. Government re-
! trograding?'' Messrs. A. Blauth and
| David Henkel sustained the affirmative in
their usual effective and able manner,
| while the negative produced Messrs. w. e..
Abney and R. J. Dyche in its favor, who
were ready in every respect to answer
| promptly their adversary's argument. Sc
cond decaimer, Mr.. w. o. ADney de-
| livered Mark Anthony's Grafton on the
! dead body of Caesar. in an impressive and
credilable way. The character of Ma
poleon Bonaparte was handsomely and
gracefully acclaimed by MIR. G. II. Lam
bert. Mr.. J. M Lambert lectured upon
the subject, sTo be or not to, be-" with
great earnestness. and it was truly pro-
\ duction consisting of sound judgment and
good logic, evidently consuming much
| time and mental labor in its construction.
| The duties of the valedictorian devolved
upon Mr.. J. W. Churchman, nor could
they have been committed to more COM
petent, or scholarly gentleman. His SUBJ
| iect upon the eve of ''farewelp' was
'sHeroes who died. Commanding flow
of language, clothed in the garb OF rhetor-
| ic,' he spoke touchingly OF heroes who
persisted in days gone by, many of whom
sleep beneath the green sod on vast ex-
| tended plains and in mountain wood,
| where nothing disturbs their quiet SUM
hers save the nestle of birds at eventide
and with 10 monumental stone to loom up
In memory of the good, the brave, the
| true. whose deeds and actions have come
down through long vista of years. But
''the muffied drums sad roll has beat"
| and they now have pitched their tents on
an ''eternal camping ground"
Mr. G. concluded by abiding to the
pleasant evenings passed with the society
during the winter, wherein no bad feel
ings had ever existed, nor one cause of
sorrow to regret, and hoped by the kind
| hand of Providence to meet the same
bright and happy faces next fall in debate,
that appeared so conspicuous before HIM.
On motion the society adjourned sine

uor., CLAUSE, denounced the mi

yisers' clause, denounced the mi
nority as Revolutionary" and said
factious opposition to the viii of the ma
jority in this government would inf1lct
serious if not fatal wound upon the free
dom and efficiency Of national legislation. !"
1t may be safely said, looking at the re-
cord, that every Republican, including
Rutherford B. Hayes, of Ohio, who has
served in congress in the last eighteen
years, has voted for laws attached to ap-
preparation bills. 1t is precedent of even
greater age than the Republican party and
it is a precedent that the Democratic par
ty propose to follow where the legislation
proposed is constitutional and wise.
The final question of whether the pro-
posed measure is wise and just hardly needs
discussion. It is a strange condition OF
the national mind arising from eighteen
years of forcible and often violent govern
ment that the question should even be tol-
Grated whether OF not in Republican
government whose supporters are free
people, there SHOULD be law on the sta
tute books providing for the use of SOL
diers at the polls. The right of suffrage is
given by the States and the people Of each
State are to see that the laws they pass
keep the ballot box free or the State itself
must suffer. That outrages occur in this
or that State, or county, or township, is
no excuse for a general law permitting
troops to be present at every poll in the
land. If the Federal army only consisted
| of fifty men the principle is the same, and
| the Democracy represent the highest in
terest of the people when they insist upon
keeping ajealous watch over that principle
The application to the Us. Supreme

| Field and Judge Robertson will represent
| Virginia and Judge Willoughbly will rep
resent Judge Rives If the court decides
| to take jurisdiction when the case is ap-
pealed in regular way, of which it is sta

fore it will be, whether Judge. Rives right
| " construes the fourteenth amendment or
whether the fourteenth amendment was
intended to prohibit only unequal legisla-
ton by state in contravention of citi-
| zen's rights; that, if the State law makes
no discrimination and it is only its execu-
| ton which is unjust, the practical abuse
! is one for the State and not the United
States to correct. In the meantime Judge
| Thomas T. Bouldin of Charlotte county
has been arrested by Judge Rives on a
similar charge and Judge Perry Of Lunen-
berg, is holding court for him.
