10 address a mass.meeiing OF citizens 10 DE

The Washington Post OF yesterday says
.For several days past the nails for the
South have been burdeued with Republican
campaign documents for distribution prin-
cipally In Virginia, East Tennessee, North
Carolina. and Florida. All the Republican
candidates IN Virginia have made special
calls for them, and they are to be used par
ticulArly In the First district (Beale'sl, Sec
ond (Goode's), aud Fifth (CabelPs). Con-
gresham Jorgensen. who was elected by
majority Of over 1900 two years ago. writes
TO The Republican Committee that ne can
take care OF his own district Qhe Fourth),
and he expresses lively hope OF The ke.
publcaus being able 10 elect their meu TO
Congress In the other districts named u Inc
Resdjusters keep their candidates In tue
field"
We arc not uneasy as The case now stands.
We are only afraid that the Republicans
aud the Readjusters will unite their forces
and withdraw some Of the candidates OF
each Of those parties, leaving but one IN
each district to run against the regular
Democratic candidate. The Post ought to
know that II Virginia causes the Democrats
TO lose the House il will be owing to CO.
aition between the two parties named-not
to the fact that the regulars refuse to with
draw their candidates. -.

"Tbat accident on the Shenandoah Valley
railroad which was reported in yesterdays
DispQtch was an IneXcusabC one. IL can
not be explained away. The road has been
in operation but short time, and the tres
tlework which fell was new. That 1,260 feet
of trestling should have given way at once
is proof enough that there was something
wrong about the workmanship. People
will have to return to stage-coacheS II these
railroad accidents are TO continue to become
more and more frequent"
MeSSrs. Editors Dispatch: The above
editorial in today's Dispatch does an in.
Justice to the Shenandoah Valley railroad
which we feel assured you will correct.
The trestlework is not upon that part OF the
road which is in operation, but upon part
vet unfinished, and still in the hands of the
contractors; and cannot be deemed rail-
road accident in the sense in which you
used the term. The accident was to the
contractors in building, and not one for
Which the company is responsible.
Yours truly, HARRISON d BuRwEIL.
The telegram misled us. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
"FATAL ACCIDENT on TUE SHENANDOAH
VALLEY RAILROAD drriSOnbur9, Va,
the Shenandoah Valley railroad at East
Liberty, Page county, Va, on Saturday
last. At half-past 2 O'Clock p. NJ. the entire
tresllework at that place Q,26O feet long
and "a feet high) went down with a crash
in one promiscuous ruin, instantly killing
Walker Jones, of Barboursville, Orange
county, and seriously Iniuring Stewart
Bawcock, of McGaheysyilie, Rockingham
county. The loss amounts to $4,000 or
$4,000. This accident will probably delay
the completion of this section OF the road
several months"
"The entire trestle-work -" 1,260 feet
long and "a feet high I've very naturally
took to be completed work. However. we
are glad that the railroad was not in opera
ton before this accident happened. The
one death might have been increased to a
score on completed railroad, and in arda'
road accident rather than contractors ac-
cident.

We mean 10 say that the water-famine Is
not caused by "Funders or "Funder-
ISM" Ii may be owing to our city fathers
too great confidence in the rivers furnish
ing water enough to keep the water-works
pumps running all the time, or even to
carelesspess in the city officials; but the
people suffering and the people who pay
the taxes are those whom the Wing calls
"Funders," and would be pretty set OF
fools to search the city for few ReadiuSt-
ers to fill the city offices, and to put their
city government into the bands OF the Ma
honeites, when they themselves constitute
nine-tenths OF the white voters, and can find
thousands Of "Funders" ready and will
ing TO sec that the city shall be hereafter
abundantIy supplied with water. We
not, however, devote any further words TO
the miserable partisan pretence that the
short supply OF water in Richmond is a
reason why GEORGE WISE should not be
elected to Congressl The same sort OF RI
diculous appeals were made to the voters
last spring about the cutting down of streets
and what not, and the result was Also white
Conservative voters for our ticket against
1,223 negroes and malcontents for the Ma
HONE ticket.

We commend to the Providence journal
aud all other northern journals which are
concerned on the subject Of the bulldozing
OF negro voters in the South the following :
"At the corporation stores at Holidays
burg pa they go so far, it is alleged, as to
place in the mems provision baskets Repub-
llcan documents relating to the tariff and
free trade, to which Is attached the iDiunc-
ton, vote for Garfield or be discharged.
Even the little children OF the workingmen
arc made 10 convey 10 their parents threats
OF discharge unless their fathers or brothers
vote for Garfield"
The South is concerned in the one case
aud the North IN the other. Therefore the
negroes are coerced TO vote the Democratic
ticket in the South, but the white men OF
the North are not interfered with. Its the
southern people that are in the wrong al
ways. They are only rebels.

The Tariff.

Colonel HENRY MCCORMICK, an extensive
iron manufacturer in Pennsylvania, has de-
clared for HANCOCK and tariff for protec-
ton. He says:
"If the presidential election has any bear

fer Hancock, born aud bred in The valley OF
the schuylkil, amid mines and furnaces,
10 community where all parties are unit
on the tariff, to Garfield, member OF that
famous free-trade club, the Golden"
II is said that Colonel MCCORMICK en-
ploys about thousand hands, and has here
tofore voted the Republican tickets for Pre-

OCTOBER 10. 1880.
The eleventh annual meeting began yes
terday at Z. NJ. The Society convened IN
PAGES building. The President, Dr. Henry
Latham. OF Lynchburg, occupied the chair
and called the meeting TO order. The al
tendance is large, and includes many OF the
representatives OF the profession in the
State, as well as delegates from other states.
The present meeting 10 marked with evi-
dences OF more general interest and greater
personal effort on the part OF its members.
We feel like cougrat ulatiDg the Society in
that ID has maintained It's place along with
other similar organizations. and in that its
members evince a determination 10 add
their mite to the general advancement OF
medical science.
After PRAYER by Rev. DR.. j. E. L. Holmes,
DR.. w. l.. Robinson. of Danvile, In behalf
Of the local profession, delivered an address
Of welcome, which was chaste and cordial.
and betokened the spirit OF hospitality
which has prompted the good people OF TINS
wide.awake city to vie with each other IN
their efforts 10 make our stay among tb"m
pleasant. The large attendance OF ladies'
and gentlemen at the opening OF the session
to bear the address Of welcome and the an
nual Grafton was further evidence OF their
interest in the meeting, and their enthusiasts
tie reception OF the speeches must have been
gratifying.
The annual Grafton was delivered by Or.
l.. Ashton, OF Falmouth, Va. HestOok for
his subject "The Professional and Nom
Profess ional-Their Influence Upon Each
Other" The Grafton was well written, well
delivered, aud instructive, and merlted the
attention and warm applause it received.
DR.. Hunter Mcclure, OF Richmond, was
elected president, and DR.. Edwards was re-
elected secretary. The Society will remain
in session until Thursday night.

Chinese CheaD Labor,

The following letter Of Mr. GARFIELD
will probably ruin bis prospects in Cali
fornia and other Pacific States. California
alone, however, with New York. New Jer-
sey, and the southern States, will be SUI
ficient TO elect General HANCOCK. A states
man who pretends to be In favor of pro-
tecting American industry aud American
mechanics, and is caught writing private
letter stating that he believes in "buying
labor where he can get 1t cheapest" will
hardly pass muster as a genuine friend OF
the workiDgman. The public man who adj
vocates the employment of Chinese and the
permitting OF Chinese coolies to reduce our
workingmen to the condition OF slaves
ought to be drummed out OF Congress.
This latter is what Mr.. GARFIELD advocates.
This "personal and confidential letter "
was telegraphed yesterday by Mr.. w. III.
BARNuM, chairman OF tina National Demo
cratic Committee, TO Mr.. KoISER, chairman
Of the Virginia State Central Committee OF
the same party. wen bet cigar that he
didn't telegraph 1t to the chairman Of the

TO infuse new life into the Democrats. I,
is highly important one. 1t is as follows !:

that the question OF employees is only ques-
ton Of private and corporate economy, and
individuals or companies have the right to
buy labor where they can get 1t cheapest.
We have a treaty with the Chinese Govern
ment which should be religiousiy kept until
lie provisions are abrogated by the action Of
