D
language in certain speech And
now you arc asked TO surrender all
you have done into the hands Of Wade
Hampton and the Ku.Klux, aud the
little segment in the North that Is
called the Democratic party As
soon as this fell under the eye Of Sen
ator Hampton he wrote to sherman
and asked il he was correctly quoted.
Sherman replied in half denying
evasive manner, to which Hampton
reioined that since he did not abso-
luiely deny the language, he was
compelled to pronounce il false, and,
further, that Sherman knew Il was
false when he uttered it, ending his
epistle with the significant words II
can I've found hereafter In Columbia,
:. c." Sherman made q weak reply
to this, aud then gave the whole cor
respondence to the press, 81 As, he
said, to let the public Judge between
them. While not an advocate OF
duels, we are firmly OF the opinion
that the Republican speakers should
be held strictly accountable tot their
lying charges against gentlemen, aud
we are glad that the gallant old Wade
has shown that he does not intend to
be run over rough shod. The Repub-
licans are trying to use the cores
pondence as a big campaign docu-
ment, alleging that If the Democrats
are successful there will be return
to the plantation manners" as they
call it, but they will not be able TO
convince honorable men that because
man lives in the hated South he
must sit calmly down and allow every
Northern slanderer TO villify his good
name. All hail the gallant Wade !
CnEERED by their success in lndi-
ana, the Republicans Of Kentucky
have grown bold, and will actually
nominate a candidate for Congress at
Danville to night. Col. W. o. Brad
ley seems to be the choice of the par
ty, but he is unwilling to run, and il
is likely that Judge George Denny
"will be induced" to make the race.
There is no danger whatever in their
nominee, whoever he may be, beating
our man if the Democrats will do
their duty, but there must be no lag
ging in the ranks. We understand
that all the money needed to buy
votes will be furnished by the North,
and that desperate means are to be
resorted to to carry the District. We
urge upon the Democracy, especially |
in view of the late gains made in Con-
gress by the Republicans, to organize
thoroughly in every precinct and see
that the full vote of the party is cast.
Our Little Phil IS the peer of any Re-
publican in the District, and he must
and will be returned to Congress.
ALTHOUGH in his letter accepting
the nomination for President, Car
field declared strongly against Chi
nese immigration, Chairman Barnum
has found letter written to the head
of an Employers Union at Linn,
Mass, in the following language:-
House. OF REPRESENTATIVES,, I
WASHINGTON, ID. C., Jan. %, 1880.
DEAR SiR:-lours in relation 10 the
Chinese problem came duly to hand. !
take il that the question Of employees is
only question Of private and corporate
economy, and individuals or Companies
have the right to buy labor where they
can get il cheapest. We have a treaty
with theChinese government which should
be religiously kept until its provisions are
abrogated by the action of the General
and | am not prepared to
gay that 1t should be abrogated until our
great manufacturing interests are eonserv-
ed in the matter of labor. Very truly, ,
yours, JAMES A. GARFIELD.
If this doesn't settle Mr.. Garfield's
hash in California, we would like to
know why, as there is no doubt of the
authenticity of the letter.
To THOSE who contemplate a visit
10 Virginia we would say that no
pleasanter time could be selected than g
Turing the State Fair, which will be u
ield at Richmond for five days, be- c
ginning October 26th. The Fair G
tselt is a grand affair, and in addition u
% that, representative men and women d
rom all over the State can be seen, CT
md n correct idea of the present char CT
cter of the people formed. The e.
chesapeake a Ohio r. r., a trip over Ct
which road is alone worth the time IL
nd money, because of its grand and IL
omantic scenery, will sell tickets o.
rom Cincinnati TO Richmond at the IL
DIV price of sl5 for the round trip.
JUsT as sure as election day shall II
