Bret Biographical Sketch Of the
Fearless Champion.
Mr.. Parnell, who is now but thirty
three years old, was born in the
county of Wicklow, ireland. He is
descended on the maternal side from
Rear Admiral Stewart, who was dur
ing the war of 1912 affectionately
termed "Old Ironsides," and whose
family were among the most devoted
adherents ofthe independent colonies.
They have at all times advo lated
the freedom of Ireland. Mr.. Parnell
was educated at Cambridge Univer-
sity, and made High Sheriff of Wick.
low soon after graduating. In 1874
he contested Dublin county as a
Nationalist candidate in the home
rule interest, but was defeated. The
next year he was put forward for
Meath to succeed John Martin, whose
death had deprived the Nationalists
OF a champion. He had no opposit.
ion, but combined the active and
hearty support of Protestants and
Catholics, and, although Protestant
himself, has retained the unwsvering
support of the Catholic clergy ever
since. He made his debut 10 Parlia.

he undertook to be heard. and was
met with that snubbing opposition
which the majority in that assembly
always raise agsinst . new conner
among their adversaries. His de-
termination conquered, however, and
thus was formed the "obstructive"o
"active" party, Of which be is the
recognized leader. The Nep Quar-.
terly Magazine OF London, sums up
the par ty and its leader thus,
"At present the sactive' party is
far the most popular in Ireland.
They have leader of singular abil.

fitness FOR the place he holds. Mr..
Parnell has Parliamentary capaci.

Smith O'Brieu in nothing that / can

Mr.. CoYKLING Is utilizing the present In
the interest of The future. We begin 10
doub, that be is anxious for the election OF
GARFIELD. His lordly ways are said to have
done the Republicans no good in Ohio.
Read The following significant remark OF
his to correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Times:
"It cannot matter how Ohio or Indiana
may 90. After uextweek the severest part
OF the battle will be fought in New York,
and the party which wins that State Will
win the fight New York not only occu-
pies that position Of importance now, but
il Is the State which in future contests for
many years probably will have equal conse-
uuence. Ii cannot be thrown away. Its
wishes cannot be ignored il the Republican
party is 10 retain its supremacy"
The wishes of New York cannot be
ignored IL the Republican party is to retain
its supremacy All, ha! The "wishes oil
New York" were disregarded when GRANT
was defeated OF the nomination OF the Chi
cago Convention. They will be disresarded
in 1884 unless either CONKLING or GRANT is
nominated. So we have here already from
the foremost Republican in the land the
programme OF his party for 1884 Now,
hear what General GRANT said the other day
OF Mr.. C0NKLING. 1t was as follows:
81 regard him as the greatest man IN
public life, or that has been In public lie
since the beginning OF the Government"
That will do for the present.

That Letter.

CAPTAIN JOHN S. WISE said in speech
which he made recently in Caroline county
that he had seen letter from GARFIELD in
W hich letter Mr.. GARFIELD seid that he was
not candidate in Virginia, or words TO that
effect. The papers, North and South, have
noticed this remarkable statement; but
Captain JOHN s. WISE has made no expla-
nation Of the affair. He has allowed it to
remain unexplained by him, and it was not
explicable by Any one else except Mr.. GAR.
FIELD. Well, Mr.. GARFIELD has come to
the rescue, as witness the following para
graph, taken from the Harrisonburg Old
Commonwealth:
A LETTER FROM GABFfELD.-We have
been Informed that a letter has been re-
celved by prominent Republican OF this

The Philadelphia PreSS'S special CORE
spondent in Ipdiana now says that "the Re-
publicans ought. at least, TO make large in
roads upon the Democratic vote OF former
years, IL they do not carry the State by a
small majority" He has evidently changed
his mind since he made the statement which
we repeated yesterday. Nevertheless be
reports Senator MCDONALD as saying:
"Our canvass shows us to be from seven
to ten thousand ahead, and think we may
do even better. II includes the name and
residence OF every voter in the State, and is
more perfect than we have had it for years.
Therefore, there is little or no guess-work
about our claims"
WILLIAM l.. SCOTT summarized the situa-
ton when he SAID that fair and free cleo
ton is all that the Democrats Of Indiana
need to insure TO them victory. We fear
nothing but the rascilities, tricks, money,
and overawing Federal marshals, OF the Re-
publican party.

BSRRYvILLE, Va, October 5, 1880.
Il has been some time since you have had
letter from this part OF the "moral vine
yard." In this county and throughout this
entire section there has seldom been more
abundant year. We had q superb crop OF
wheat, a luxuriant growth OF grass. and a
glorious crop OF corn. From present indl-
cations we will have grass "until grass
comes again. unless the "polar waye'
strikes us too hard. Within the memory OF
the oldest inhabitant there has not been a
more prolific mast. Acorns flourish by the
duodeciilion. Hogs are happy, and curl
their classic tails in genuine triumph as
they masticate the generous fruit OF the
/" MAJESTIC oak" In short, everything
is plentiful In this country save men
who propose to vote against Colo
mel John s. Barbour and the regular
electoral ticket. Mr.. Bsrbour's msiority
in the district, it is thought, will be the
largest for many years. Frederick county
at one time was thought TO be doubtful;
but, although it is the home OF General Will
hams, H. IS now regarded safe for Colonel
Barbour and the regular ticket.
There are in Clarke county men OF influ-
ence who in State issue will exert that in
fluence in favor OF REIMBURSEMENT, but who
do not in this contest propose to divide the
strength Of Hancock by voting for the It'll
of-July ticket.
In this district the canvass Is evidently
the canvass OF the people. They are direct

deriake to stem the tide will have no more
influence TO check it than the "small dust

THE CANVASS ALONG THE CARROLL AND PATRICK
LINE CABELL'S PROSPECTS FLATTERlNG-
sToy.LL's RECORD UNDER CONSIDERATION
THE MOUNTAINEERs FOR DEMOCRACY AND
THE STRAIGHT TICKET.
lCorre.ponce nce OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
LAUREL FORK, October 4. 1880.
The canvass in this district has been con-
Quoted along the line between Carroll ana
Patrick during the last few days, and with
most catering prospects for the regular
Democratic ticket, aud especially Tor COL
oneI Cabell, our present and future repre-
sentative in Congress.
On last Saturday. at Willis Gap, point
on top Of the Blue Ridge, at the county
| line, where political discussions have oiien
been held in days gone by, the people OF
Patrick and Carroll were addressed by the
Hon. Jsmes $. Redd. elector on the Demo
cratic ticket Hon. George G. Cabell, and
his opponent, Mr.. Stovall. Colonel Kedd
opened in plsin. practical talk OF bali an
hour, addressed principally 10 Readl
That his speech bad the tendency &c unite
the factions upon the regular ticket was
plainly visible.
Colonel Cabell followed in speech Of one
hour and quarter, In which he discussed
with master mind the true issues In TINS
campaign, arraigning his opponent for de-
reelection OF duty in the Senate, and showing
the incor sislency Of his past uiteraDces WIN
bis present conduct. Colonel Cabell read
from circular issued by Stoyall two years
ago under bis own signature, In when ne
said that no new man or mere tyro IN poll
tics should be sent TO Congress" That
Colonel CsbelI proclaimed very good doc
trine, and the response that came from the
large assembly showed that at least nine
tenlbs 0, the people present were with tue
speaker, and would stand by bin in this
contest.
When the cheers for Cabel had partially
subsidized Mr.. Stovall came forward anu
commenced his speech. Aside from his
compliments to the people and his tribute
to mountain scenery, which was indeed
"pretty and nice" his address was nothing
more than the ordinary Readluster speech.
The claims he presented. for Colonel "a
belrs seat in Congress fell upon the au'
dience like feathers thrown against tue
wind on a mountain height. When Colonel
Cabell arose to reply, Mr.. Stovall, obedient
to the precedent set by himself when under
the fire OF General Walker at Hillsville. beat
hasty retreat. The manner in which Sto-
vail slipped around the large rock at the
base OF which the speakers stood was In
deed amusing. and raised the shouts OF The
multitude. Stovail, after time, returned
to reply.
On last Thursday the speakers addressed
a very large and enthusiastic audience ut
Meadows-of- Dan, Patrick county. There,
as at Willis Gap, we learn that the people
were almos. unanimous for Cabell and the
regular electoral ticket.
The people OF the highlands OF Scotland
never followed chief with more enthusiasm
than the people OF the mountain will follow
George G. Cabell. OREsrEs.
