UNITED STATES COURT-THE JUDGES -ELEC-
TON OF BANK OFFICERs-REPUBL
MEETING.
[Corr, spondence OF the Richmond Di'patch.I
MARCH %, 1880.
In the United States Court the following
business has been transacted since yester-
days letter:
United States Us. Peter Kefauyer and
Slaughter Spencer, OF Floyd county. for
obstructng an United States deputy mar
shall in the discharge OF his dulles. Ac-
quilted.
United States Us. Ellis and John Epping,
Giles county, for Illicit distlling and retail
ing liquor without license. Found guilty,
and remanded for sentence.
United States Us. Thomas Bqndy, Mont
gomery county. for passing counterfeit
money at Big Spring. The argument in
this case Is progressing as wrte-1 O'Clock
p. NJ. When disposed OF the cases Of the
indicted judges will be taken up, beginning
with that Of eX-Judge Haythe, OF Camp
bell. The demurrers in all the cases will,
however, be argued in this, so that it Will
most probably be test case.
Last evening the Beard OF Directors OF
the LynchDurg National Bank made the fol-
lowing changes in the official staff Of that
institution, rendered necessary by the death
OF the late Cast Norvil: Peter j. Otey,
teller, promoted TO cashier; George w.
Moore, chief book-keeper, promoted to
teller: j. 5. O'Neale, assistant boOk-keeper,
promoted lo chief. Mr. III. X. bowman was
erected director in the place OF the late
Mr.. Noryel. This bank has bad the mis-
fortune to lose both its president and cashier
within the past few months.
The Republicans-wbte and colored-Of
this city had a meeting last night to or
ganze ward clubs for the coming cam
paign. A resolution endorsing the alliance
OF Radicals and Readjusters was adopted, as
follows:
"That we lock with great interest to the
movements Of the ReadiuSters well cacu-
lated TO break up that despotic, indicative.
and oppressive party mi'called Conserva-
tive, and will, whenever occasion offers,
give the Readiuslers our aid TO effect IN
end which is so desirable for the growth
and prosperity OF our State"

When anybody begins to talk about the
danger OF the election Of al unpIedged
electoral ticket In Virginia next fall, Just
remind him that in The presidential election
there will be three tickets running N the
Readjusters nominate one, aud then ask
him TO look at the figures stating the results
Of the elections last November These
were:
Conservative Debt-Payers, G2,97i.
Conservative Readiusters, 58,G44.
Republicans, 20, III.
These figures predict the certain triumph
Of the Conservatives this fall in case there
are three tickets. A coalition between Gen.
eral Malone and the Republicans might ip-
dictate danger 10 oilr party. Dispatch.
This statement very clearly shows that
decided majority OF the Conservative party
were opposed TO the plan and policy OF the
leading Readjusers, aud II the same apathy
existed in other localities as among the
Conservatives OF Norfolk, the figures OF
the Dispatch are very much under the
real strength OF the Conservatives OF our
State, whilst we know OF no Readjusters
who failed to cast their ballots Ia the last
election.
In our own mind there has never been a
majority OF The white people OF Virginia.
They are to-day where they have ever been
in favor OF maintaining the good name OF
the Commonwealth. Had it been other
wise, the Readiuster leaders would not
so willingly hobnobbed with the negroes,
against whom, for years previous, they
waged stout and determined opposition.
On no other grounds can the action OF the
leading Readjusiers be palliated-ln no
other light do we permit ourselves to see
the acts of the new party; for we will not
so harshly Judge them as to say that their
recent CO. partnership with the negroes,
their surrender of former principles, which
they so stoutly defended before their
"bolt," was induced by pure affection for
the blacks and an honest desire to divide
the noble heritage of.our fathers with them.
With three tickets in the field there is no
fear about the success OF the Democracy.
The only danger is in a "coalition be-
tween Malone and the Republicans, which
has been attempted and may prove success
full. But with three tickets in the field Vir-
ginia will give her electoral vote TO the
Democratic nominee. Mark Norfolk

1t Is amusing to read that the Readjuser
negroes of Lynchburg scout the idea that
they are not true to the Republican party.
They declare that they constitute nine
tenths OF the Republican party; that there
fore they can't be untrue TO that party with
out being untrue to themselves; that the Re-
adjusters have satisfied them so far, and
they have no doubt will accord them all
their rights in due time, &C., &c.
But the declaration which shows the ami
mus Of these negroes is the one ia favor of
the election Of General GRANT for Pres-
dent, coupled with the declaration that they
"will not recognize any call for State con-
veniion" unless it be made through the
Executive Committee OF the Readjuster
party
The coalition seems to be complete in
