Editors Richmond Dispatch: The Sacra-
mento Record. Union, the leading Republic
can paper OF California, contains the en-
closed editorial. am southern Democrat

Such articles damage the Hancock cause

The article is as follows:
AN ILLUSTRATION OF STATES RIGHTs.-A
Virginian named Pond was arrested for
selling whiskey without license. A col
ored man named Davis was summoned as a
witness, and testified to the fact. There
upon Pond sued out summons against Da'
Wis and had the case transferred to another
county. The charge was so fimsy that the
Justice OF the peace dismissed IT. Then
Pond had Davis arrested again-this time
on an equally groundless charge OF petit
larceny--and hauling him before a reliable
Bourbon justice of the peace, the latter
convicted him, and forthwith sentenced
him to be imprisoned six months
aud to receive thirty-nine lashes. The
animus OF the sentence was shown by the
statement Of the justice OF the peace that
be proposed to teach defendant lesson for
reporting white Democrats to the United
States authorities. Davis is said 20 have
been far gone in consumption when he re-
ceived bis hogging. His Imprisonment was
evidently arranged 10 prevent him from ap'
pearing before the United States Commits
sioner when Ponds case comes up. Thus
We find man prosecuted, foeged, and i'm
prisoned 10 Virginia, nominaIly one OF the
States OF the Union, for having testified ia

tration OF the vindcation OF States rights

The project for building the Alexandria
and Mount Vernon railroad will, it Is un-
derstoOd, be pushed vigorously next win
ter. The length Of the road will not be
more than six and half miles. The esti-
mated cost, including bridge across Hunt
ing creek, Is S125,000, OF which sum it is
hoped Congress at its next session will APP
propriate 100000.
At meeting OF Democrats held mt New

HeDkel, resolutions were adopted favoring

"and trusting that the devotion to prin-
ciple and party which has prompted the
committees 10 the initiatory steps to an
amicable settlement will enable them to
readily make it,"
The Conservative says: "Hon. Thomas
Whitehead passed through Salem Wednes.

where he spoke on Tuesday. He was In
fne spirits over the prospects in Craig,
which be pronounces The most solid for the
regular Democratic ticket OF any county be

Judge A. NJ. Lybrook, Of Patrick, says
that statement published In the newspapers
a week or two since that twenty-serfn MUIR
ders bud been committed In that county
and nobody hung Is incorrect. He says
that there have been only six, and the per-
petrai0rs are paying the penalty OF their
crimes In the penitentiary.
Our people are unanimous In their oppo-
sitton to any compromise With Malone that
Inferteres with our regular electoral ticket
for Hancock and English. They are afraid
to trust any electoral ticket, even il they
could support II, that Malone would be
likely to propose edford Star.
