The readjustcrs of Frederick county
held mass meeting In Winchester last
week, and adopted number of resolu-
tons, In which they declare their OPP
position TO any concert Of action "
with the conservatives in their struggle
for the presidency. The following SEN
tence very plainly indicates that the
resolutions were prepared by a read
juster of Frederick, who now has
his headquarters in Richmond:
with self respect erected against the
insolyence and outrage of the past, and
on the alert against the dangerous over
lures Of the present we rtadjusters, re-

The resolutions "applauded the in
tegrity, courage and censtancy Of the

Assembly,"

men whose names were used by the re-
adjusters will not support the unpledged

The recent dropping ofMr. Bayard
bv the New York World and appeal TO
Mr.. Seymour to take the helm would
seem to indicate the narrowing down OF
the matter to Field and Seymour, as it
appears to be narrowing down, on the
Republican side, between Blaine and
Grant. We would most cheerfully well
come the day that ushers In Horatio
Seymour as the Democratic nominee.

President Of the United States. But,
unless we have been much deceived,
Mr.. Seymour ia in earnest not to allow
his name to be presented at Cincinnati,

be so, Judge Field looms up as the
coming man. He has sounded the key.

return 10 the old paths Of Republican
freedom. He can rally every lover Of
liberty from one end Of the Union

fully assail him as "rebel, traitor"

kind. He is, and has always been, a
Jackson Democrat. He can carry the
Pacific Coast and New YORK. He not
only represents the law Of order in con-
stitutional government, but the protec-

The Mixed-Tickct Party.

The Charlotte Gazette has the
following t. say Of the doctrines Of
mixed ticket party, as expourded by
Mr. Stoyall at Charlotte Court
house 4 short time since
The solicitude eyinccd by Mr..
Stovall for the masses Of the peo
pie, ground down under the iron
heel Of the Funder Democracy and
Gripsack Republicanism,' would
have been really moving had not
the sham been SO apparent. HIS
indignation was stirred at the by
pocrisy of the 'thirty-niuc.' who
pleaded for the maintenance of'Yir-
ginia's honor when, according TO
Mr.. Stoyall, this important mission
belonged to Readjusters alone. 1t
was very evident that Mr., Siovall
was a firm believer IN political
shams that Gov. Holiday was a
sham, and Judge Hughes, LORD
Lowell and Collector Gernald, the
Democratic party and the Republi-
can party, all were shams political
ly. save this immaculate, wonderous,
all-conquering Rcadjusting party.
And according to his position, this
had been and was yet TO be made
up of both Democrats and Repub.
licans
I'VE have in our day seen a great
many men like Denis Kerney and
j. I. Stovall, who have talked
loudly and long of the fancied
wrongs of the dear people, OF pop
ular rights, OF the 'down-trodden
masses, whose influence, so far as
they have any, is to breed popular
discomfort. and 10 promote utter
social and political Generalization.
Appeals to prejudices and exciting
harangues are their stock in trade.
Discussion of great questions OF
public policy is foreign to their pur-
pose and unsuited to their talents.
They can assail and tear down, but

IN GIVING the action Of the Repub-
pcsn meeting Of Rockingham, we fol-
lowed a dispatch from Harrisonburg to
the Richmond WAig, and have since
learned that the acton Of the meeting
was not correctly or, at least, not fully
reported. The following resolution
was passed:
RESOLVED, That We, the Republicans Of the coRn-
~ Of Rockingham, pledge ourselves 10 support
tae nominees Of the Chicago National Convention
for President and Vice President.
To that end, REsoLvnD. That we are IN favor Of
. straight Republican Electoral Ticket, and We
viii support none other.
From the above, it will be seen that
the Republicans from Rockingham ike
those OF Shenandoah will have nothing
to do with the mixed ticket. In this
action they show spirit of straight for
ward independence which might well
be initiated by the Conservatives of the
entire State. Repudiated by the Re-
publicans and cast off by the Demo
Gratis, the Mongrel mixed licked will,
we have no doubt; soon be disowned
by the ambitious parties, who started
it with the intention of disceiving the
people and securing the offices for
themselves. "Bewa-e Of the Greeks

According to a correspondent OF Q
Philadelphia contemporary, General
Malone, the leader Of the Readjuster
party of Virginia, has decided to 60
over to the Republicans, bag and bag
gage. 1t is now proposed by himself
and friends to "unite the fortunes oil
Virginia as far as possible with the
prosperous element (meaning the Re-
publican partly at the North" But il
view of the TACT that the northern Re-
publicans plume themselves on their
debt paying proclivities and of the even
moro significant fact, that the leading
stalwart journal, the New York Times,
has already repudiated the Virginia
Tepudiators, we are disposed TO doubt
the success of the Generals little
scheme. And even il the unholy ALI
ance we're affected it would still be a
question whether any considerable
number of Virginia Democrats can be
induced 10 follow their new senator
elect into the Republican camp.-Bal-

A MURDERoUs ARM.-Dr. Cat
ling, inventor of the famous gun
has just perfected another instru-
ment of war that is said to be most
complete in its deadly properties. 1t
is capable of firing 1000 shots IN a
minute, and by the use of the In
strument three men can do the
work of 800 rifemcn. It's capable
of killing a man Or horse one mile
away. 1t is somewhat in the form
of the present Gatling gun, but
more complete, and may be taken
to pieces at will, and therefore can
easily be moved about. About
S250,000 were spent in experiment
ting on it.

multiply that the readjusting scheme
originated by General Malone of hav-
in Z six readjuster and five republican
electoral candidates on the Virginia

endorsed by the Staunton State radical

The CHICAGO PRoBARTLITIEs.--As
the field looks now, it seems to me that
the most likely outcome of the Chicago
Convention is the nomination OF Mr..
Blaine on the second ballot by the
transfer 10 him ofthe vote of Ohio; the
second result in the order of probability
being the nomination of Washburn or

Two gentlemen of Culpeper county,
who had been acting with the Readjus-
ter party, were appointed by the Gull
pepper Readjuster meeting as committee
men. Both published cards declining
to act. They have no sympathy for
the mongrel ticket. Men who want an
excuse for going to the Radical party,
will find the mixed or independent
ticket convenient stepping stone. -
The Democrats ofShenan0oah will not
be caught in that trap. They have
about as much respect for that scheme
as the fox had for the trap that failed
to catch him.

WHEN a Republican meeting sends
delegates to a Republican Convention
instructed in favor Of Grant and the ill.,
dependent ticket, what does it mean
1t simply means that 1t is well known
to them that the ticket will be as radical
as one which openly bears the name Of
Republican, and that they are in hopes
that some democrats, who would not
vote for Republican ticket, will vote
for an independent ticket, and that the
independent ticket will vote for Grant.

ST. LOUIS, April 19.---Passengers
who passed through Marsh6eld on the
st. Louis and San Francisco railroad at
$50 last night give few facts concern
ing terrible disaster there. A man
who came to the depot at the end of
the town while the train was there re-
ported that at $50 o'clock a furious
hurricane stuck the place and leveled
all that part of the town lying west of
the centre square fiat to the ground.
The debris Immediately took fire IN
several places, and the flames could be
seen at some half dozen points by the
passengers on the train. Forty dead
bodies had been taken out. and many
more were supposed to be buried in
the ruins or burned up. There were
also many living still, impressed in the
debris of the buildings. All the physi-
clans of the town were killed excepting
two, and there was great need of doc
tors to attend the wounded, of whom it
was said there were some two hundred.
A relief train with twenty physicians
and nurses and full of supplies left
Springfield, Mo-, this morning for
Marshield, and probably other trains
will arrive during the day. The storm
was general in Southwestern Missouri,
and other places probably suffered
damage. but as the telegraph wires are

to relieve the the suffering. A carload
of provisions was sent from Springfield

from all the towns along the line of the

ing about combining with Readjus-

electors are to consist of five Radl-

ed for as an independent concern,

be the recipient Of the eleven votes,
