The almost total silence preserv ed by the
Lexington ''Gazette'' and Enterprise ,
of yesterday, beyond giving the figures OF
the Rockbridge elections, does not make
it very clear to an outsider who is who
among the winning candidates. The former
however, assents to the statement that the
Frazier combination was routed horse foot
and dragons. The returns show that Maj.
J. B. Dorman was. badly defeated byD. E.
Moore for Commonwealth Attorney, and
D. J. Whipple for Sheriff, was routed by
J. M. Lackey. J. A. r. Warner, J. B.
Updike, J. L. Leitch, J. T. Lacky, L. L.
Watson and D. A. OFT are elected Com
missioners of the Revenue, and A. T. Bar
clay, J. Mckee, W. F. B. Leach, W. A.
Wilson, John Gibson and J. S. Gibson, Su-
pervisors. G. M. bold was elected Mayor
of Lexington.
In Rockingham Geo. G. Grattan, who
had four opponents for Commonwealth
Attorney, was elected by a large plurality.
In Highland L. III. Stephenson was elected
Commonwealth Attorney; Arbogast, Sher-
if and Campbell, Commissioner.
In Washington county the fight was
made directly on the bill for the settlement
of the debt, between the candidates for
Commonwealth Attorney and the oppo-
nent of the bill was beaten two to one.

When Richmond was evacuated a por-
ton of the gold owned by the State of
Virginia was divided out by Gov. Smith
In the payment of his own and the sala-
ries Of other State officials. The U. S.
government brought suit for this gold and
in Judge Hughes's court at Richmond last
week the jury were instructed that if they
found that the $1,000 taken by Gov. Smith
was due him by the State at the time he
was deposed by President johnson, April
9th. they should give a verdict for the de-
PENDANT, and they gave that verdict. Just
here the following production is of inter-
est as showing the heat of the feeling in
that day:

PolIticsi I'm Tennessee.

A representative of The NATIONAL REPUB-
LIoAN bad an hours conversation with Col.
onel John b. Brownlow, of Tennessee, recently,
at Wilard's Hotel. In response to inquiries,
the Colonel stated that the prospects of tho
Republican party were not very bright in that
State, but not more gloomy than in other
Southern States, where the policy of the Ad-
ministration, in appointing Democrats to Of
flee, had greatly tended to dspirit the Repub-
licans, who feel that they have been ncedlessly
insulted by having Democrats preferred TO
them. Colonel Brownlow, however, excepted
Secretary Sherman, who, he states, has always
been particular to confer positions upon mono
save Republicans The Republicans of Ten
nessoe have always been noted for their loyalty
to the Government. Over $4,000 white men
bore arms In defense ot the Union during tho
late war, and when Democrat is appointed to
an Office in their midst, it is very annoying to
them. Colonel Brownlow feels confident of
the return of two Congressman from Tcnnes-
see in 1880, and, indeed, lie thinks that If the
other members of the Cabinet would emulate
the example of Secretary Sherman, In the mat
ter of appointments, that it would be an easy
thing to carry that State for q Stalwart Presi-
dental candidate.
Colonel Brownlow is the eldest son of the
late Senator w. q. Brownlow, and won great
distinction during the late war rs a dashing
cavalry officer, having t ken a conspicuous
part in placing John II. Morgan hors de combat
and more than onco defeated tho rebel General
Vaughn, who was n source of great annoyance
TO the patriots of East Tennessee.
During the service of his father in the
United States Senate Colonel Brownlow was in
this city aud acted as his private secretary,
and after his return to Tennessee was EN-
ployed as editor of the Knoxville IVhig, Stall
wart journal, which for many years was u
thorn in the fanks of the Democratic monster.
Colonel Brownlow is n Stalwart among Stall
warts, aud to show his popularity among East
tennessee Republicans, in the last State con-
vcntion of Tennessee, he not only repre-
sented his own county, hut was commissioned
as proxy to cast the votes of several couaties
whose delegations did not find it convenient to
attend the convention.

Democrats in Repnblloau Positions.

TO the Editor of the National ReDujticam:
SIR: The sentiments of Union soldiers, Re-
publicans, aud yourselves with reference to
putting none but true and tried and eflicie mt
Republicans in office, as recently expressed in
your columns, is indorsed, believe, by every
Republican wh o has the welfare of the country
and party at heart. l think it will be ad-
mitted that the policy of dividing the public
offices with the Democrats has not improved
the service. Then why continue it? Does
any one doubt that if the Democratic party
should come into control of the Government
every Republican in office would be removed
and succeeded by II DemocratP or would you
or any other Republican blame the Opposition
for pursuing such Il course? Let us have done
with this nonsensical, suicidal policy. Put
none but honest, capable Republicans in office.
This is all that is now necessary TO complete
the glory of the present Administration. G.

against the game of polo as q sport Con-
Tossing himself an admirer of almost every
athletic game, he felt it his duty to protest
against that one in which young ALTMAN's
life ewas sacrificed. The catastrophe, he said

NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS.

The New York Graphite scoop-netted Col

Republican State Central Committee, of
North Carolina, the other day long enough
to insert It's interviewing syphon and ex-
tract some valuable information relating to
the present and future Of North Carolina
politics. The Colonel gave out that the
Republicans believe they can carry the
State if thoroughly organized. The course
of the last Legislature has not benefited
the Democratic party in that State. Then,
the revival of sectional animosities by the
Democratic element in Congress has had II
bad effect It must be remembered that
many thousands of men who have acted
with the Democratic party since the negroes
we're eniranchised were Union men during
the war, aud are Union men still. They
would have acted with the Republicans
right along, but they couldn't stand negro
suffrage; couldn't swallow it all at once,
These original Union men are Union men at
heart still, and if there is anything they
hate il is to hear men and women who
ought TO know better continually harping
about the Lost Cause. Colonel KEoGu thinks

HONEST MONEY FOR LABOR.

Among the sterling speeches printed for
circulation by the Republican Congressional
Committee is one by Hon. HoRATo G..
FISHER, of Pennsylvania, having for his
theme Labor is the Source of all Wealth !;
" Pay for 1t in Honest Money" His re-
marks were made on House bill 56i, to
amend certain sections of the Revised Stat
utes of the United States, relating to COIN
age and coin, and bullion certificates, &c.
The speech throughout is strongly charged
with common sense, sound argument, and is
fortified with stern facts, eminent author
ities and pertinent application of all his
resources of knowledge to the question ut
issue. Mr.. FISHER contends for an honest
bimetallic currency and denounces in fit
ting terms the heresies and quackeries that
mark the advocates of initiation and short
coin. In referring to the trade-dollar, Mr..
FISHER very pertinently says:
Inasmuch as we declare in section 1913 of
the Revised Statutes that 1t shall be coin of
the United States, we should take up these
tr.de-dolars; but, like the gentleman from
Colorado, am in favor of dressing up silver
as we do merchandise, in any form OF shape
that foreigners want. we manufacture prints
of certain kinds and patterns TO suit the South
American trade. We gave the Chinese silver
dollar which they wanted. but we do not want
to circulate it ut home. But why, ask, go to
the unnecessary expense of this unlimited
coinage2 Every gentleman upon this floor
knows that no international congress would
ever agree 10 ovcr.valuo silver us you do by
this bill. ask how, If you get 200,000000 OF
these silver dollars of 4l2l grains, rs you can
and will do from customs, which you will keep
in your Treasury, you propose TO avoid the
trouble aud loss eutailed upon the people ii
France, by following the example OF Germany,
forces the price OF silver down from fifty pence
an ounce TO forty pence an ounce, and thereby
entails direct loss upon the Treasury Of S40,'
600 900?
That Is the effect of the bill. DO you pro.
pose TO 90 on, be still purchaser, saying that
silver must be worth Sl,20 or Sl,25 an ounce
while the world says that IL is only worth 81
to 81 10 au ounce2 l do not claim for this
amendment that IL will correct all the evil
contained in this bill, but it will lessen the
evil and measurably provide an honest dollar
and then when England aud other nations as
sent to fixing tho ratio at which the tive
money metals may circulate freely, We may
| hope TO have common coinage OF gold aud
| silver for the entire world, of the same value
in every country; but | will never consent tC
| be so unjust 10 our own people as 10 favor any
attempt 10 hx an arbitrary value on any com
modify whatever in defiance Of the principles
of tho great law of supply and demand. | be
