the clubs of various counties in this dis
trict, held in Stanton last week, the re-
ports handed in confirmed the intelligence
received at this Office that it is In the pow
&c of Augusta county to elect Henry G.

she can give by effective, untiring work
will make the work in the other counties
sure. All of us desire that, it possible,
Augusta shall have the glory of electing
a Democratic member of the next Con-
2ress, but we must hsvs general effort if
ne aspire to that distinction, Let the coun-
az clubs set to work at onees not only as
clubs but as individual members, and see
that Aliens majority in Augusta, which is
already assured, shall not merely be q pa
jority but a5asYs majority. See your neigh
Dor. explain to him the situation, and see
that the faithful allieeo shall owe their
defeat to Augusta county.

This Call was issued on the heel or an
election, at which it was claimed that the
Readjuster organization had shown at the
polls that it had majority within the De-
mocratic party. 1t was not only claimed,
but the chief organ of that party published
columns of figures, taken from the re-
turns, to prove it. At tho same time,
strange to say, the Democratic Readjus-
tiers were being urged not to listen TO the
call published above, though its terms Of
fered an opportunity to get control of the
Democratic organization in Virginia.
Six months afterwards, when all the regu-
lar party work had been done by the state
Democratic organization, delegates sent
to Cincinnati who nominated President,
and the campaign commenced, the Re-
adjuster leaders offered a joke calling it a
plan of compromisel to the effect that if
all the Republicans in the State who should
choose were permitted to come into pri-
mary and vote on the question, as to
whether all this work should stand or not,
then they 1.-THE Readjusters) would go into
that primary and abide its results. Having
rejected the free and general proposition to
join in building the house. they proposed
after 1t was built to get some faithful
allies" and come IN and vote whether the
building should stand or not. Capt. Paul
was right when he said, "We didn't want
a compromise. We don't want one now. :"

THE COLORED VOTER ON
THE ROAD TO "OFFICZAL
REGOG NTT7ON"

If ex-senator Moseley, of Goochland,
makes the canvass as Republican candidate
for Congress. in this district, and gets a
respectable vote it will have significant
bearing on official matters in the district.
A Republican who makes the campaign in
the interest of his party takes the chances
of Mr.. Garfield s success, in which case his
voice will be of weight in the official ap-
pointments and we presume, as man isn't
likely to go back on his supporters, the
sight of some colored U. S. gaugers and U.
S. storekeepers with fat salaries would not
be altogether an impossibility. Some of
our colored brethren could doubtless be
persuaded to take the place at the 81 a
day.
We may as we'll inform Mr.. Moseley and
his friends. however, that they need hardly
exp ct any encouragement from the jeal-
GUS Republican leaders who broke
up the Charlottesville Convention.
They will ilnd 1t the old story, the
