think, be In no hurry to deliver their electoral

vote Of their State to make him President,
they would take care OF certain important

A large meeting OF Virginians residing in
this city was held last night at No. 93l ID
street, and a permanent association organ
lied. officers elected, and o constitution

aid the Democratic party in Virginia in Sc
curing the electoral vote OF that State for
Hancock and English, and to this end the
association will make arrangements to trans
port persons from this city who may be
voters In Virginia, raise funds TO aid the
party, distribute campaign documents, and
look after the interests OF the party before
the Democratic National Congressional Com
mittee.

have no desire to interfere in local poll
tics. look upon all Virginians with one
sentiment; but let me ask you, Can you
carry this State for Hancock with two sepa-
rate tickets in the field? The State is too
large for little thoughts in time like this.
You have political foe whom you would
level, and for Gods sake let the force OF
your country arise and save you from doing
anything to her Injury. We have 40 right
to endanger the party. We feel that the
Democracy Of Virginia must be united with
the great body OF the Democracy OF our
country, and | cannot believe that you will
allow petty ambition and ends TO stand be-
tween you and your duty in this case. You
are 10 send eleven men TO carry the power

Senator Bayard, at the conclusion OF his
speech, paid glowing tribute to Mr.. Goode,
saying: Gentlemen, 10 justice to you and to
the State and TO the country, must not fall
TO speak OF your honored candidate for Con-
gress the Hon. John Goode. He Is well
named. We can spare no good man in the
councils OF our country, and among those
who stand conspicuous is Mr.. GOode. He
is one who brings to the Congress OF the
American people the confidence OF those he
represents. You need never fear that De
Golyer payements or Credit MObllier will
be found connected with his name. Ever
since he has been in Congress have been
cognizant OF the weight OF his opinion IN
that body-none there are more respected
than he, and you cannot do more credit to
yourselves and your State than by returning
him to the seat that he has always filed with
honor and dignity.

SCARCITY OF VESSELS IN THE Coal TRADE.
The Philadelphia Led0er, speaking OF coal
trade prospects, says "There is great
scarcity OF vessels, Coal freiehts have been
low and vessels have found other freights.
The ice trade and the southern cOasting
trade have absorbed great many, while no
new ones have been built. This scarcity OF
vessels will soon cause additional restric-
ton. while those who have delayed pur-
chases will have to pay higher freights as
well as higher prices for coal. This week
inaugurates full work at the mines, and,
judging from the happy faces we meet win
in our travels, the boon OF full time Is APP
preciated by every Que living in the antbra-
cite coal regions. In anticipation OF tue rise
in the price Of coal, the furnaces in tue Le-
high Valley are laying in large stocks.'

SPEECH OF MAJOR KIRKPATRICK THE con-
OCCASIONAL CANvAss-DEATHs AT SALEM.
Correspondence OF The Richmond Dspatch.l
BIG LICK, Va, September 10, 1880.
Last night Major kirkpatrick, OF Lynch
burg, addressed our people on "the ques-
ton Of the day." He was present by spe-
cial inyitstion TO counsel with US, and bis
calm, earnest, and convincing reasoning was
effective. We have very many Readjusters
among US, and some of our most honest
minded citizens are among the number. The
appeal made 10 their common sense and pa
triotism will certainly confirm many such
in their determination TO soar above mere
local and State issues in the presidential
campaign.
As to the congressional canvass, this dis
trict last fall voted for REIMBURSEMENT by
over 1000 majority; so that if the national
Democrats hold convention and make a
nomination we can appeal to ReSdtusters
more hopefully to support our Hancock
electors il we select a. our standard-bearer
a moderate man Of their party, who favors
the Cincinnati nominee and the electors ap-
pointed By the May Convention. This
seems to US at least common.sense view OF
the question.
There have been three deaths at Salem
this William Chancellor, Esq. OF
Baltimore, aged about thirty; Mr.. jacob
Miller, an old resident, and one highly
esteemed, aged sixty'two; and Mr.. Il. H..
Fokes, formerly OF Lyncbburg.

The Salem Register quotes from the
Montgomery Messenger Of last year to prove
that the recent statement as to how the me-
groes voted in Montgomery last fall, which
we copied from the Messenger, was not ac-
curate. We gave the statement and we
now give the contradiction. We know not
which is true; but we do know that il the
negroes in Montgomery are like those in
Richmond, the number Of them who have
at any time voted the regular Democratic
ticket is very small indeed.

New YORK, September 12.-It has been

make his first speech during the campaign
in this city next Friday evening, Septem-

engaged for the purpose. and at the invita-

has consented to preside. General Arthur
said last evening:
"Senator Conkling will proceed from
here westward. where he will be engaged
during the rest OF the campaign making
addresses. II was desired to have General
Grant preside at the meeting, but the Gen
eral cannot reach New York before the end

A Compromise-Not a Surrender.

A Compromise-Nota Surrender.
We are surprised to see that some OF our
contemporaries speak OF the compromise
which has been talked Of so much as il it
involved the withdrawal OF the Democratic
electoral ticket. 1t is astonishing that any
body could ever have imagined that Mr..
KOINER, Mr. KELLEY, or any other Demo-
crat, would even entertain such PROPOSE
ton as that. And as to its adoption, that
will be done when the JImes river shall turn
around and run up towards the Blue Ridge.
There is no such proposition under con-
sideration. The Shenandoah plan goes
as far in the way OF compromise as
any member OF the Democratic State
Central Committee will be willing TO
go. How many OF the members OF that
committee will be willing to go that far, we
have no means Of knowing. We are not
authorized to speak for them; and we only
presumed to speak for them so far as with.
drawing our ticket was concerned because
that proposition is toe absurd and foolish to
be thought OF even for moment. Pray,
be patient for two days longer, friends, and
you will then know just where you stand.
There is no occasion for alarm or hysterical
protestations. The KoINER Committee Is a
trustworthy committee. There was proba-
bly never q better one organized in Vir-
oinia.
