Rejoicing Republicans.

TORCH LIGHT PRoCEssIoN-B oN-FIREs AND
sALUTEs
The Republicans of Staunton celebrated their
victory on Monday night last by a torchlight
parade, the firing of rockets &c. and a nation
al salute of thirteen guns. Throughout, the
entire demonstration was creditabe, and those
who participated in it, although jublant. and
as matter of course enthusiastic and noisy,
behaved excellent.y. There was an absence
of anything like carcatures Whilst exultant
over their victory, there was no disposition to
add to the chagrin of their opponents. 1t was
sufficient for them that they had cause to re-
ioice and mingled with that rejoicing, was the
broadcast charity to all the world, and malice
toward none. The procession numbered about
300 torches, borne by colored men. 1t was
headed by the Excelsior Brass Band and after
parading the most prominent streets, marched
to the hill in front of the American Hotel
where large bon fire was lighted artillery
salutes fired, and rockets sent up. Everything
passed of pleasantly, and happier, merrier
crowd was never seen in Staunton.
CIRQUE CoURT-The November term of
the Circuit Court, Judge Mclaughlin presid-
ing commenced its session ON the Sd inst. The
docket is very small one for the November
term Usual amount of civil business has been
disposed, but little of general interest. There
are some important cases pending-among
them two cases of G. D. McCoy's heirs VS..
Piedmont and Arlington Life Insurance Com
panv, and The Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company of New York respectively. In the
latter case an order was entered on the motion
of the defendant, who is nonresident, remov
ing the case to the United States Circuit Court
at Harrisonburg, under United States laws
The said suits are for Life Insurance policies
taken out by said Mccoy. In the Case against
the Piedmont and Arlington Life Insurance
Co., the Court refused motion tor continu-
ance, and the case will be tried at this term.
John FL Dinneen, of Richmond, and J. B.
Amss qualified as an attorney in this Court.
Court will probably remain in session for
len days.

A MUCH NEEDED IMPRovEMENT.-At the
October term ofthe County Court, an order was
entered establishing new road from Staun-
ton through the old Fair Grounds to a point
on the New Hope road near Mrs Beech's.
This new line will not only shorten the dis
lance some three fourths of mile, but will
avoid the heavy grades of the old road and Sc
bed An additional advantage will also be
derived by the avoidance of the railroad, a
fruitful source of accident and danger. The
new road will pass under the Valley Road at
right angles. The cost of the road will be
1917, and the order for its establishment was
entered upon the condition that the citizens
subscribed $3.50 of the amount Of the sum
necessary to be raised by the citizens, 500
have already been subscribed, and no doubt is
entertained of the whole amount being easily
raised. Those who have thus far contributed
are as follows: Witt & Holt $25; j. N. Gent
ry $40; s. NJ Finley SO; II. K. Eakle $40 };
d. c. McGuffin, right of way and $40; j. S.
Myers SO; A. J. Kerr So; Alex Kerr $40.
All the land owners along the line have grant
ed the right OF way.
When completed, this will be an excellent
improvement The section to be benefited by
it is one of the most productive and wealthy
in the county, and the road as it now stands is
both heavily graded and dangerous The
change should be pushed to complexion with
out delay.

DIscHARGING AN ELECTION BET.-During
the campaign, Lit. Theodore Long, Of the
Staunton Artillery, laid wager with repub-
can on the result Of the national contest. The
Terms of the agreement were that if Hancock
was elected the republican should furnish the
powder and load the guns, to be fired in cele
bration of the result. On the other hand, if
Garfield was elected Lit. Long should himself,
with picked squad of men, fire salute in
honor of the republican success When the
result of Tuesdays contest was definitely de-
ermined, 1t. Long announced that he was
ready to fulfill his part of the contract, though
the pill was bitter one. With a choice lot
of artilerymen, one of their best guns was
placed on Sears Hill Tuesday night and a
splendid salute fired. The agreement was full
filled not only in its letter but in its spirit. 1t
was a fair and square wager, and he discharged
it as fair, square man should The gunners
who assisted him, though all of them were
democrats, went to work with will, and
everything passed off as pleasantly as possible.

WASHINGTON, July "a. 1880.
There has been during the past week
q notable increase Of confidence and en-.
thusiasm at this Republican campaign
center. and the Democrats. who have
been cautiously expecting an easy VIC
tory. arc now brought face to face with
the facts that the Republicans were never
better organized. more determined, or, I
may say, more encouraged with reason

parts Of the country comes the intelli-
gspcs that the party 10 harmonious on

ton to work zsalously for the common

thousands OF unseen warriors to swell
the vote Of the ''man for the place." and
II will doubtless have . stimulating
healthful influence On some other dis
tinguished chieftains Of the party whom
the Democrats have been praying might
have o chronic attack Of disaffection.
One thing 10 certain. II the Democrats
suppose that Senators Cameron, Conk.
ling and Blaine are luke-warm or disaf-
fectsd because they are refreshing them
selves at watering places and on fishing
excursions now. when the real campaign
will not open for two months. they are
building their hopes on very aimsy the
cries.
To those whose pecuniary interests
are csntered in Washington, the possi-
bio advent Of Q Democratic administers
ton cannot but DO regarded with alarm.
During the last twenty years the Ma
tional Capital has changed from q dilsp.
idated Southern town to o beautiful
Northern city. This change has been
brought about by the substitution OF
Northern thrift and energy for Southern
Incidence. A Democratic administration
would work . great change in the char.
acter Of tho population. Elected by q
solid South. its Cabinet, Bureau officers
and clerks would bear some proportion
in numbers to the votes II had given.
There might be the Same number OF

condition which existed before O Re-

and owners OF real estate have no desire
to bring in q Democratic administration.
