Stonewall Jackson's Politics.


Mr.. Geo. II. Moffett, who was student
at Washington College, when the war
broke out, writes long letter to the
Wheeling Register giving his recollec-
lions of Stonewall Jackson. We clip what
he says of Jackson as Breckenridge Dem
ocrat: ito, {r.
1.-THE next time heard jackson talk
was in political meeting one night in the
town Of Lexington. It was during the
memorable presidential canvas of 1860.

under the leadership of Gov. Letcher, sup.
ported Douglass. The Breckenridge men
had small force. The leading. spirits of
this faction called meeting one evening
at the Court House. It was small gath
ering. and when the two leaders, Col.
Massie and Flank Paxton, had reported
part of the building. in a quick. decisive
tone, was heard to call out Mr. Chair
man." All eyes were instantly turned to-
ward the speaker and beheld the stiff
looking figure of Major Jackson. No one
suspected him Of being politician, and a
general anxiety was manifested to know
what he was going to say. and consequent
~ the strictest attention, was paid. In a
speech of fifteen minutes he reviewed the
resolutions, endorsed them, spoke of the
dangers threatening the South. the duty
of taking a firm stand, and then sat down.
He displayed one quality Of an orator not
always exhibited by political speakers;
when he was done, he quit.
1.-The Frank Paxton spoken of in this
connection went out the next spring as a
lieutenant in the 'Rockbridge Rifles and
when he was killed at Char cellorsville,
held the position Of brlgadier general, and
fell at the head of Jackson's old Stone
wall. brigade. He was as dauntless a spir-
it az that of his old commander, and they

EX-GOVERNOR WALKER ON VIRGINIA
In a recent interview, x-Governor Walk
er. of Virginia, who is now practicing law
in New York, said:
81 know the people of Virginia better
than they know themselves, and truer PEG
pie never lived. Whatever may be the 10
cal differences upon she debt question Of
the people of Virginia, when it comes to a
great national contest, in which are in
volved the life OF death of the great prin-
ciples proclaimed and talked by her emf
nent men of the past, her people will rally
with earnestness and enthusiasm to the
support of the doctrines advocated by her
great Jefferson, the apostle of the democ-
racy. If the Cincinnati Convention acts
as wisely as think it will, Vlrglnia's cleo
toral vote for its nominee may be counted
upon as certainty, aud what is true of
Virginia is true OF every Southern State.
In other words, our success or defeat will
depend upon the action Of the National
Democratic Convention.'

The first Of the series of trials of Vir-
ginia county judges in Judge Rives' Fed
eral Court at Lynchburg did not touch
the main point about which much interest
is felt. Judge Hill, the venerable Judge
of Buckingham county, who was tried last
Saturday was proved to have put colored
men on jury lists several times and to
have authorized the announcement in his
court that if colored criminals demanded
mixed juries they should have them. OF
course Judge Rives directed the jury to
acquit. He also charged the jury to the
effect that the government must prove;
first, the neglect or refusal of a judge to
put colored men or juries, and next that
such neglect or refusal was the result Of
prejudice or discrimination on account of
race, color or previous condition Of servi-
tude. There are five more judges to be
tried. When one of them is proved
to have wholly neglected to put
colored men on juries, then comes the diff
fiicult point of the government furnishing
proof of his motive and it will be deli
cate task. From the evidence given in
the Buckingham case we think Judge
Rives himself, if judge in that county,
would have found it hard to have found
colored men qualified by intelligence and
the prepayment Of capitatlon tax and not
exempt as teachers or minister's whom he
cenld have put in the jury box. This is
the inference even if we confne ourselves
to reading the evidence of the prosecution
The single fact of habitual failure to
| put colored men on the jury lists serv:
| ing as conclusive evidence as to the motive
| will be found defective when submitted
! to the crucible of an intelligent jury.
