Nearing the Winning Post.

One week more and the goal will be
reached. This will be the week Of all
weeks for telling work. So far the most
sanguine expectations As to the brilliancy
and success of the campaign have been ex
ceeded 10y the reality. All along the line
the republican banners are advancing and
the enemy is falling back with broken
columns aud dishcar,ened leaders. The
week just closed has been one OF mex-
ampled campaigning. Monster meetings
have assembled at many convenient points.
while nearly every town in every county
has had its rally. and all of them crowded
and filed with enthusiasm for the repub-
lican candidates and the cause they repre-
sent.
- The coming of Gen. Weaver into the
State has had weakening effect upon
fusion. His decided refusal to divide time
with Hancock speakers. to attend Han
cock meetings, to accept Hancock veterans
rs escort, and his persistency and boldness
in proclaiming the great democratic cleo
ton frauds in Alabama and how his party
should haye had 10000 majority where
they are in minority by afraudulent count
OF $4,000, have had powerful effectupon

DEAR SIR: Your favor was received

House Pension bills do not have
much favor. 1t has become almost impos-
sible to get consideration of such a bill

tons nomination came about like the
nominations of other new men on the
county ticket, in answer to demand that
could not be resisted, for giving younger

not lisp of dissatisfaction with the old

nobly, but it seemed only reasonable and
in accordance with American ideas thai
there should be change in the offices
and that is all there is in the nomination
of Mr. Carleton and other new men on the

The steamer City of Pekin left San
Francisco recently carrying eight hun
dred and fifty returning Cinnamon.
The sailing hour was fixed at o'clock
in the afternoon, and each of the eight
hundred and fifty did his best to be first
at the gate of the wharf. To accom-
plish this, hundreds of them spent the
previous night on the vacant lots in the
vicinity and on or under the wagons
loaded with their baggage. AT sunrise
the gates Of the wharf were opened and
the crowd, encountered with bundles of
every conceivable size and shape, tum-
bled in pell-mell, those in the rear fall
ing over those who had lost their bag
gage and their balance, until nearly
the whole mass was piled together ON
the floor in bowling struggling heap.
The officers soon restored order, and
ranged the Cinnamon along the side Of
the wharf, where they stood for eight
hours patiently waiting to be allowed
TO board the vessel, When the signal
to board woo given tho scanes Of tho
morning were repeated, and bundles,
bedding, trunks, and no end Of hats
went overheard as the crowd rushed up
the narrow gang-plank. ysSss..

CHRIsTIANsBURG, Va, July %, 1880.
Hon. Absatom Koiner, Chairman State
Conservative Committee
Dear Sir,--I have been Informed OF the
action OF the committee over which you
preside naming me as the candidate from
the Ninth congressional district on the regu-
lar Democratic.Co Conservative electoral ticket.
| duly appreciate the honor conferred.
and return my thanks to the committee
therefor.
Major James c. Taylor, who has been my
w-partner for eleven years, had been pre-
viously nominated as the candidate OF the
Readiusters' party from the same district.
While / have no sympathy whatever with
that party, aDd expect to do all l can, both
publicly and privately, to defeat its ticket,
which is little else than an assistant Repub-
lican ticket, am not willing to become a
candidate for any position for which my
partner had been previously announced as
candidate, and for this reason alone
must decline to stand as the electoral can
seidate from this district and ask the
committee to name some other person.
Last year the geadilsters were looking to
Major Taylor as their candidate for the
Senate from tatis district. As soon as he
learned that / would be the Conservative
candidate, he for that reason positively re-
fused to be nominated in opposition. |
then thought his course was right. and do
not now see how The change ia our posi-
tions can make the opposite right for me.
Regretting that the necessity for this let
ter exists, am, with much respect,
fours truly, ARCHER A. PHLEGAB.

The Wing makes fun Of US for "whoop-
ing up the colored troops to help the Fund.
ers." Our non.Democratic contemporary
guesses Alright when it guesses that we
haven't much hope that the regular Demo-
cratic ticket will receive many votes from
these colored troops" Let their number,
however, be large or small, their position is
a proof that the relative strength of the
Democratic and Republican parties in Vir-
GINA is not to be ascertained by glance at
the census returns. For this reason we the
other day called the attention OF certain
northern Republican journals to the address
OF the colored HANCOCK CLUB in Richmond
to the men of their race in Virginia. Surely
the Wing would not have us refuse the
votes of negroes.

A Blunder.

No northern speaker ought ever TO make
an Sllusion to General WASHINGTON or the
Revolutionary war. or to anything done or
suffered by the fathers If the republic. But
The habit OF doing so has become 50 com.
mon amongst our brethren north Of MASON
and plxoxss line that they can hardly make
A speech without referring to some fact that
condemns themselves. So Mr.. GARFIELD
in the speech which he made 10 New York
ON Friday night last, had the bad taste to
alIuAc to ALEXANDER HAMLToN's service
on tho stat Of General WASHINGTON. he
also said that at that time HAMILTON was
working out the ideas OF the American
revelut,sn--unio against treason ana ols'
loyalty"
Now. the "treason and disloyaIty" that
HAMILTON was working against were hoehty
10 the Government 10 whose King WASH.
IxoroN and HAMILTON had sworn to bear
true aIlegiance--or, to use the modern
phrase, they were traitors to "the best
Government the world ever saw" In
word. those two heroes Of the Revolution
v
did every act for which GARFIELD condemns
General LEE, the most llustrlous connection
of the house OF WASHINGTON whom TINS
country has produced. II LEE violated his
oath, as Mr.. GARrrELD's foolish friends
say, so did WASHINGTON and HAMIL-
TON. LEE engaged In rebellion. 80
did WASHINGTON and HAMILTON. LEE
took up arms against Government
he had sworn to support. So did WASH
IxGToN and HAMILTON. LEE was pro-
nounced traitor. So were WASHINGTON
and HAMILTON By the Tories OF their DAY.
LEE was rebel. So were WASHINGTON ana
HAMILTON. In word, Mr.. GARFIELD COM
mit,ed O great blunder when he mentioned
the names Of WASHINGTON and HAMILTON.
His intelligent hearers must have been In
stantIy reminded that LEE and SToNEwALL
JACKSON represented in the late war in this
country the cause that was upheld In the
war of the Revolution by WASHINGTON and
HAMILTON.
The less our northern brethren have to
say on the subject Of the rebels Of the Revo-
luton, the better for their cause in the late
war. IL we of the South can afford to taboo
that subject, surely those who fought the
rebels OF 1861 can well afford to follow the
example.
