AN OBSERVER.
PARNAssUs. Sent. 9th.

apNaooOS, w ~. ~ttiI, IOOO.
Mr. Editor V5,gan5an:-Y our Parnassus cor
respondent has either gone back on you or you
on him, as l see he is writing for the Spectat0,
which paper suits his manner of writing much
better than yours. He starts off in a commu-
nication September 18th: The political out
look as from this standpoint is very distressing
to Republicans and their willing allies, the Re
adusters" | imagine he must be clerk in a
store and business very brisk and he has not
had time to inform himself better, OF he would
not have made such false and bold assertions.
There is nota doubt but that there will be the
rgest Republican vote polled at Parnassus the
coming election than ever has been, and as for
Re-adjuslers, the woods are full of them He
goes on then with whole TRADE of stuff which
displays great deal of ignorance or great ex-
element or down right extravaganza and then
winds up by saying from indications take it
that the RAIDS are contemplating a barbecue
shortly, from the fact that Rev. l. N.Campbels
hen roost was raided last night" AS have
not heard or seen anything more of the barba-
cue going on among the kads, think it more
reasonable to suppose the raid was made in
behalf of the Hancock and Allen Club for the
benefit OF the grand supper and torch light
procession contemplated after the election. 1t
makes no difference to the Parnassus boys who
is elected, they are bound to have their fun.
Nearly four years ago somebody came along
and told them Tilden was elected President or
perhaps they saw it in the Spectator, any way
they got that thing in their noggins by some
means, and pitched in had one OF the grandest
torch light professions ever known in this part
Of the country tell you, pine, candle-wick
balls, turpentine, and wagon wheels had to
suffer | will say in closing they deserve some
credit and it should be given them, they will
be the means OF bringing men to the polls who
will vote Tor Garfield and Arthur and who
have heretofore taken no interest in elections.

A Gard from Capt. Paul.
HARRIsoNBURG, VA, Sept. 90, 1


To the Editor of the charlottesville Chronicle,
Dear Sir,-My attention has been called to the fol-
lowing in your issue of the 18th instant:
ss1he Republicans of Albemarle have adopted the
following resolution:
Resoiced, That the thanks of the Republicans of
Albemarle be rendered to Hon. John Paul for his
bold and manly course in advocating the repeal of
the unjust and unconstitutial captation tax law as
a prerequisite to voting
'sWe clip the above from exchange and presume
there is mistake about 1t, although we have for
gotten the date Of the meeting. Would 1t not be in
order to call another meeting and pass an addition
al resolution rendering the thanks Of the Repubi-
cans of Albemarle Especially the colored RepubIi-
cans) to Mr. Paul for his bold and manly course in
supporting the whipping post law?
lam at a loss to know on what grounds you seek
to make me responsible for the existence Of a law
that has been statute books for thirty wears
or more; at least since 1S4s You will find it in the
Code of Virginia, 1860, chapter 1872 secton14 1t
re-enacted by the Legislature in 1866 when If I
mistake not, the late Col John B. Baldwin was
chairman of the committee that had charge of the
revision Of the criminal laws. See Acts 1885, page
49, In the session of 1S77S the whole criminal Ia w
was revised and this section was retained and
amended This bill Of revision was passed In the
Senate, Conservatives and Republicans voting for
it, with but one vote against it; in the House Cor
servatives and Republicans voted for it. and there
but nine votes against it. Ne motion was made
in either House by person Of either party tn no
peal or modify THE feature of our criminal Code
which has suddenly become obnoxious to Find
ers, who have hitherto been the most strenuous ad
Of its enforcement. OF course your article
written for the distinct purpose of exciting on
the part of the "Republtcans of Albemare (especa1
ly the coored Republicans'O and the Republican,
everywhere else In this Congressional distrcta feel
ing of hostility toward me in order secure for the
Funder candidate, Judge Allen the Renuhlican
vote. Permit to say, with all due Difference to
well known and acknowledged political saSacitv
that you presume too much on the creduttv Of ~
people when you undertake to influence any class az
voters whose local interests Identified with ne
Re-adjuster party by an accusation against ny
which you may with equal propriety bring aaainsi
every member of all parties who has sat in the Us
islature for the last thirty years. e
The people not so stupid jppo
are apt TO think, and capable of decidins W. W.
themselves who has pursued "a bold and ns n aIn
course" Very respectfully, niS

Shenandoah Vallev Road

| A large party of prominent business men of
Virginia and West Virginia visited Phladel-
phia by way of the Shenandoah Valley Rail
road, arriving in that city on the evening of
the god inst. They were quartered chiefly at
the Girard House and American Hotel, and
were received with many expressions of kindly
and flattering welcome in the city of brothery
love- Several editors were of the party, Mr..
George W. Haines of the Esprit of Jefferson p
| W. N. Gallagher of THE Free Press" and
others from the lower Valley. The milling,
stock raising and merchantile interests of our
section were all well represented. And the
cordial welcome extended to them by the rep
resentatlve commercial bodies of Philadelphia
| showed that the advantages and influence of a
closer and more direct connection between
| them and our Valley are fully appreciated
there as well as here. The opening of this
road forms an important link in the great
Pennsylvania railroad system and one that
will conduce greatly to the advantage of each
section. Philadelphia gains three hours in
time by this route over the old one VIA the
Baltimore and Ohio, which is consideration
of consequence. In an address by the yenera-
BILE Genl Patterson, he remarked that seventy
five years ago he had visited the Valley and
had transacted business with many of her mer-
chants and other citizens and could give his
bond for their honesty and fair dealing. Lu-
ray received many glowing compliments for
the loneliness of her surrounding, the enter
prise Of her citizens &c.
The construction of the road to Waynesboro
Va, the point Of connection with the Chesa-
apeake and Ohio Railroad, will be completed
during the present year. This will give our
immediate section of the Valley the advantages
arising from this important connection.

A SPLENDID ANIMAL-At the Fair, DIR.
Stephen Harnsberger will have on exhibition
his thoroughbred stallion robin Adair" out
of the celebrated Granite, dam Mamie Bell,
she by Red Eye. Through Robins veins
flows some Of the best of equine blood, his an
cestry on both sides embracing some of the
most noted of the racing families The
PLANTER and Farmer" says of the horse:
robin Adair is without defect, thor
oughbred, descended on both sides from the
great old Four Milers, now no more, or seldom
seen. His temper is simply perfect though
an animal of unusually high spirit, he is under
perfect control, and shows what a highly bred
horse can be if his temper be right and his
treatment judicious. If bred to the right sort
of mares, we predict that he will found cele-
brated strain of saddle-horses." This predic-
ton of the PLANTER and Farmer" seems likely
to become true, as some of his colts are already
attracting attention for their style and action.
