WE take the following from a Republi-
can Exchange


WE take the following from a Republi-
can Exchange;
General Garfield is member Of the
Christian Church, ordinarily called the
C8mpbellite Church, after its founder Al
eXander Campbell. This denomination is
quite large and powerful in the South and
West and as they are somewhat clanish
II is said that the Republican nominee will
get a great many votes from the church
membership, because, he is member of
the organization. In West Virginia, Ken
lucky and Tennessee, this denomination
is very strong, and members of Congress
from these States say that Garfield will
undoubtedly get large number OF woes
among men who do not particularly be
long to one party or the other, but vote
for member of their church rather than
against him II is thought that the ticket
Will be strong with the religious element
as both Garfield and Arther ere church
members and Temperance men, both come
from deeply religious families, and one
is the son of clergyman"
The Republican papers said sew years
ago that Mr.. Garfield was convicted of
perjury and Drioe taking llr. Arther
was dismissed from the New York Custom
House for corruption in offices by a Re
publican administration. 1t is Therefore,
quite natural that they should seek
votes because they profess TO be christians.
Hypocrits always do.

A RALEIGH county correspondent
writes to the Mountain Herald, pub
lished at Hinton, as follows: "Mr. L.
d. Dobbins stayed withme last night,
just from California. Mr., Dobbins
was born in Floyd county, Va, in the
year 1927, and emigrated with his
father to Mason county, in this State,
in 1885. In 1S49 he crossed the
plains to California, and remained
there until the 1st of February, when
he started on foot for Virginia, follow
ing the line of the railroad to Oma-
ha, arriving there he took the most
direct route to Virginia. He was
only seventy-fve days walking the
whole distance, some 1900 miles,
having only stopped over ten days
on his trip. He is fine looking
man, 6 feet inches in height, and
weighed 1915 pounds when he left
California. He is SO years Of age, was
never married, and has not been in
church building for 81 years. He is
remarkably stout man." Mr.. Dob

The Republican leaders discover
ing that their urgent plea for strong
government is creating anxiety and
alarm throughout the country, have
therefore suddenly dropped that cry,
and are now entirely silent on that
subject. 1t does not appear that they
have any particular recommendation
70 urge in favor Of Grant just now.
The two terms he has already served
do not by any means recommend him,
as has been generally conceded by a
good many Of his supporters, and all
that can be said is that he might do
differently if elected to third term.
This will not satisfy the thinking
portion of the American people, and
if General Grant is nominated for a
third term he will undoubtedly be
overwhelmingly defeated, as he ought

The Ways and Means Committee
have at last reported the Tariff Bills
to the House, and among others, one
to reduce the duty on plup and pa
per. The Committee seems to have
straddled the question by reduction
instead of the total abolition demand
ed by justice and opposed by person
al interest. The feeling is strongly
in favor Of an early adjournment, and
as no less than fifty members desire
to define their position in long winded
speeches, it is thought the House will
adjourn without action on the ques-
ton.

ably adapted to the requirements of

How oddly strange it is that near
ly every Republican opposes the NOM
ination of Tilden for the Presidency.
Is it because they fear the man who
in the last Presidential contest had
majority of a million OF the white
votes of this nation, and clear ma
iorty Of the electoral votes? Do they
fear the great wrong perpetrated up
on the people and upon Tilden will
be redressed when the people get the
opportunity.

JUDGING from the elongated faces
of our Radical friends just now, we
must come to the conclusion that
their Wheeling pow-wow did not
pan out very well. If half what we
have heard and read about that Con-

most disgraceful political bodies ev-
er held in the State.

If there is any truth whatever in
the charges which the different fac
tions in the Republican party are
making against the characters OF
Grant, Blaine and Sherman, respec-
lively, every candid reader of the
Republican papers must soon be con
WINGED that the Government has been
in very bad hands for these many
years. The Democrats have never
attempted to bring such serious
charges against these gentlemen as
are now being endorsed and proven
by one or the other Of these factions
Hence if there is any basis of truth
in their representations it must be
evident to every unprejudiced mind
that a sweeping change in the man
agement of the affairs Of this nation
in all branches controlled by the Re
publican party is absolutely necessa-
ry-Inder.

pie.

SEEING THE SIGHTS.

But few politicians have an idea
how little the general public know or
care about them. The writer this
winter has met numbers of New
York people visiting at Wasli igtou,
and the amount of ignorance display
ed by them about public men and af-
fairs, has been simply appalling. What
would you think of brisk young bus
ihess men, who understand horses
and money making to perfection, and
who do not know whether Sam Ran
dali is speaker Of the House or pre-
siding officer of the Senate? The
worst case ever knew was provin-
cial broker firm the heart of tho
bowling wilderness known as Wall
street. He was in Washington for
the first time in his life, and was anx-
ious to see the Congressional boys.
81 am death on sight seeing, you
know" said he, "but | would like to
take in what you think might he in
teresting" In the Senate he looked
placidly around moment.
"Where is our man Conkling?" no
asked.
Over in the corner talking TO some
Of the strikers"
"Oh, yes. That is the first time 1
have ever seen Conkling. Broad
shoulders, some chest, but bad legs.
Where is Senator Sprague? l would
like to see that cuss."
"Ex Senator Spraguc is not in the
Senate now"

Sprague is in the gallery"

"Who is hep"

"See here, that won't do. You're
CHI afiing. Where is he fronS
"Illinois."
"A Western buck? Been in the
Senate long?"
Not very long"
Thought not; never heard of him
before. Where does Carl Schurz

.'He is not in the Senate"
"Out Of the cityY
ooh, no, he is at present member

"What do you mean?"
"Alas! Poor Sumner has passed

"Too much rum? Was it very sud
den?' Oh, where is that old man
Cameron, the fellow that fell in
love with q won an called the Widow
Oliver?'
HE has stepped outi
"Where did he go-tO zee Mrs.
Oliver?'
Don't you understand, i mean that
he is not in the Senate now-has re-
tired from public life"
Well, I'll declare; that is new to
me. | suppose the Widow retired
too These Senators must be gay old
.boys?"
Thus this gay New York child Of
nature ratified on. His ignorance
was not assumed.
In the House of Representatives he
asked:
"What kind of place is this?"
1t more closely resembled his stock
board room than any other place he
had seen.
In the Supreme Court room he
asked if "all the old cocks" always
sat in row listening to cases. He
thought one at time quite enough,
and did not see why the nine should
not change about so as to rest each
other. For the full bench all to sit
was to him an aggravating waste Of
the raw material.

WHAT a harmonious and enthusl-
astic County Convention the Repub-
licans held at Chicago last week! 1t
began with fight, aud peace was
not restored until the Grant faction
Withdrew and set up for itself in an
other part of the city. Grant had 81
of the Delegates; Washburne rs, and
Blaine 80. When the Chairman of
the County Committee, who is
Grant man, attempted to call the
Convention to order and name tenn
porary chairman, the Blaine and
Washburn men kicked up rumpus
that drove the third termers out
The latter Immediately repaired to
the Palmer House and set up side
show on their own account They
claim that their delegates will be
recognized at the State Convention.
Meanwhile the other party elected
ninety-two delegates to the State
Convention, thirty of whom are for
Blaine and the remainder for Wash
burne. Politicians in Illinois are
excited over the action of the Conven-
tion, many of them thinking Grants
nomination now impossible, as the
excessive personal bitterness which
characterized the contest makes it
almost impossible to heal their differ
ences, and possibly both Grant ond
Blaine may be defeated.
