error of Judgment and not from dishonest inten-
ton. No doubt some of the correspondents OF the
Wh'g as well as OF the Dispatch and state, sometimes
draw the long DOW. Yet in actual developments the
of discredis is largely against the funders as
witness their 'whoops' in Stafford. in Nansemond.
in Portsmouth and Norfolk counties. in Petersburg.
in the southwest and elsewhere where signal DIS
comdtures. by unm istakable public demonstrations
have followed fast upon their brags We have also
assurances from republican. and even funder
sources, that the people with us largely, ana
although we doubt very much that we can poll our
full strength, account of the non-payment OF
poll tax. personal influences. &c, We are confident
that enough will vote to secure us substantial
victory. Why. even the funder organs ana
orators helping side. Where We have no
organs orators, and have actually sent no docu-
mens. and whore the funders have made thorough
canvass, have gained some of our most encoura2-

progress Wherever the issues are agitated no mat

only by their quiet and operations OF various
kinds that the funders are making any progress at

the most part like the leading conservatives, for
the brokers' the colored voters for the most part,
like the white rank and file. are for Virginia and re-

all his incinations and interests as citi-

TO be seen. In the meantime 1t looks very
much II the wire-working republicans, while they
ostensibly iunders are winking approval of the
colored adhesion to readjustment. They calculate
in this way to effectnally destroy the
vative party and bring about a reconstruction of
the democratic and republican parties that may be
favorable to the latter. / think they are laboring
under a mistake. believe that the masses of both
the conservative readjus!ers and conservative fund
ers will rally shoulder to shoulder year in OPP
position to the republican candidate for President;
although, doubt. the money issue may cause
some changes not now fully anticipated
DETERMINED TO WIN.
Suppose the funders carry the Legislature, what
then?'
..Success is absolutely necessary now to the exist
ence OF the funders. Beaten now. they are beaten
forever. Not with the readusters however,os all
the provocations to battle will still remain, to be
aggravated by actual experience under the mistaken
financial policy OF the funders. The Brokers BILL

our triumph two years hence. The McCulloch bill
is an utter impractcabiity no matter II we
should all agree to acquiesce in IT, with all its op-
pressions, injustices and degradations. AS Grant
once said the method to bring about the repeal
of bad laws is to enforce them. But we shall not
await that process. We intend to win now, although
we have already fear, lost some counties by mis-
local jealousies and personal rivalries
The new apportionment of representation, which
takes effect this election is in favor and while
the machine men, in large degree. have possession
OF the ballot boxes and control OF the count. We
alleged they did not scruple to treat the negroes.
Time will show. II 1t were array OF lines
and numbering of polls we would be sure OF 1000
majority at least in the whole voting population OF
the State. But we are not unmindful that 1t is
ight-a fgnt, too. OF regulars, SO to speak. on one
side, and militia on the other. Yet MahOne
leads this militia. Remember that!'
