The Vrrginian for the Campaign.

In order that all may have an opportunity
of keeping fully posted on the stirring events
of the Presidential compaign, we have deter
mined to reduce the price of the VIRGINIAN
from now until the list of January, 1881, to q
minimum cost. We want the paperto go into
every community of the State, and if possible
into every household. We want the people to
read both sides of the question, and to that
end propose to furnish the VIRGINIAN at a
price at which all can afford to subscribe.
From now until the 18th of November, 1880,
the VIRGINIAN will he sent post paid to sub
scribers at Is Cents per copy.
CASH must accompany the order, otherwise
the papers will not be sent.
We ask our friends throughout the State
and elsewhere to aid us in extending our cir
culation. We shall make the paper as inter-
esting as possible seeking at all times to in
culcate true Republican doctrine and present
reasons why the people of the nation, and es-
pecally of the South, should align themselves
with that party whose watchword is progress,
and whose record is long array of splendid
achievements

Shenandoah Valley Railroad.

A circular from the management OF the ohen
andoah Valley Railroad Company informs uf
that the Maryland division Of this improvement
has been completed to Milford, in Warren
county, affording direct communication from
that point with New York, Philadelphia and
all the middle and New England States via the
Cumberland Valley and Pennsylvania HAIL
roadsas also with Baltimore via. the Western
Maryland Railroad. These connections are
additional to that previously established with
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at Shenandoah
Junction. 90 miles from Hagerstown. Track
is now being laid southwark from Milford, the
present stopping point of trains, and north
ward from Waynesboro on the Chesapeake q
Ohio Railway, and the work of construction IS
progressing SO rapidly throughout the whole
of the unfinished portion of the road as to in
sure it's entire completion from Hagerstown,
Md, to Waynesboro', Va, distance of 143
miles, during the present year, opening to
commerce and trade an important highway
between the Middle and North Atlantic States
and the great South and Southwest. A first
class railroad organization, with correspond
ing equipment, is now operating the finished
portion of the road, and trains are running
regularly between Hagerstown, Nd, and Mill
ford, distance of rs miles. As additional
lengths of road are finished, the running of
trains will be extended to new stations, and
increased facilities afforded to the business and
pleasure seeking public.
This is very encouraging statement of the
progress of this important improvement and
will be read with pleasure throughout the Val

A CAPITAL Thing

rs THE B. 8 o. RED BOOK, THE BEST POCKET
POLITICAL REFERENCE YET ISSUED THIS
CAMPAIGN,
The B. o. Red Book just from the press Of
Knight & Leonard, of Baltimore is very time
ly little work-indeed it is the handiest politi-
cal textbook issued this campaign. 1t is
small, compact, and readily carried in the
breast pocket, the statistics of each state being
given in a nutshell as it were. The vote OF
each party for president in 1876 is noted, fol-
lowed by majority and electoral vote. Then
come the same figures as to the latest election
in the state for state officers, next the legisla-
ture, and if U. s. Senator Is to be elected this
winter such fact is duly indicated. The result
in each congressional district is set FORTH and
in foot notes digest OF districts is given which
is of no little interest. Finally the population
Of the state in 1870 is shown, with the total
vote for president in 1872, and the ratio OF
this vote to the population two years before.
This is made the basis of an estimate of the to-
tai vote of each state this year, the figures Civ
en- of the population of 1880 being from the
latest information derived from the Census
Bureau. The figures throughout were COM
piled and the results reached, by an old and
well known journalist, and are unquestionably
correct. The little work is absolutely without
partisan bias, and aside from its value as ref
erence book, is an exceedingly elegant and ar
tistic thing, rejecting no little credit upon the
thOroughness in detail and rare taste ofits pro-
genitors. 1t is not on sale, but all who desire
copy may secure it by dropping postal to
G. K. Lord, Baltimore, Md. 1t is amply worth
this little trouble, and those prone to a liking
for political Statistics as well as those finding
such handy little works valuable for reference,
will certainly not regret asking for the B. & 0.

A Fair Proposition,

1t seems that few Republicans in the 9Th
district, are not satisfied with the nominee of
the Republican Convention for Congress, Maj.
s. P. Bayly. To meet the case Maj Bayly
publishes the following fair proposition:
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR-As there seems to be some opposition
to me as the candidate of the republican party
in the eighth district of Virginia for Congress,
and as it is my desire to secure harmony and
do nothing to initiate against the interests of
the party, have this proposition to make
That, if the congressional committee deems
proper, it call another convention to be
held in Alexandria after fifteen days notice,
and if in said convention one-fourth of the del
egates vote against me, will retire and give
the nominee my active support. If the party
in the eighth district has candidate who can
make more successful canvass than myself l
am perfectly willing for him to take the field
upon the conditions above stated.
S. P. BAYLY.
The chairman of the congressional commit
tee does not sympathize with this sporadic
opposition to the candidate, and from what we
learn has no idea of subjecting the party to the
expense and annoyance of another convention.
The duty of every Republican in the district
is to support the nominee earnestly and
use all honorable means to elect him.

Thos. Dejarnette, who deliberately killed his
sister Mollie Dejarnette, in a house of ill-fame
in Danville several months ago. has been found
guilty of murder in the first degree, and SEN
fenced to be hung on the Goth of October. The
case will be taken to the Supreme Court ofthe
State in long bill of exception If ever a
man deserved the gallows Thos. Deiarnette
does, The murder of Mollie Del annette was the
most cruel and heartless act we have ever been
called upon to record Instead of the brother
displaying the courage of a man in protecting
his sister in her weakness, and Drawing public
sentiment in her defence when she had fallen
a victim to the wiles of her seduoer, as it was
his duty to do, he played the part of a savage
and took her young and repenting life without
moments warning 1t was dastardly act,
to have been committed by any one. and
the monstrous crime was tenfold intensified
in the fact that it was perpetrated by broth
er's hand. There is not single pallatino cir
cumstance connected with the murder II wos
deliberate, brutal, and while we have grave
doubts about capital punishment as a GENERAL
thing, this is one of the exceptional cases where
the offender has proven himself unfit to live
in civilized government, and ought to be got
