POLITICdL NOTES.

Mr.. s. NJ YosT Of the Staunton 4 ,oiian

seventh Virginia congressional district as q

good one, but we fear that the discussions III
that district may jeopardize its success.
EX-GOVERNOR MvRoN II. CLARK of New
York writes to Neal Dow that he regards the
elec tion of Garfield as of far more importance
than any other issue now before the people,
and he ADVISES against the foolishness of men
throwing away votes on n temperance candi-
date for the presidency. Such votes indirectly
aid Hancock, for there seems to be no such thing

GENERAL q. u. BATES, the grcenbacl can

has taken the field for Garfield. His return
to the republican party is universally regard

A FEW weeks ago some Of our democratic
papers were sadly concerned because Mr..
Blaine was, as they alleged, slow to begin the
campaign in Maine. We believ it is now

his forces with more than his usual skill and
effectiveness. Early in July Maine was said
to be doubtful state. Three weeks ago, after
the fire opened, the prospects were reported
good; to-day the democratic city papers vir
tually acknowledge lost game. But in
Maine the enthusiasm is higher and the cam
paign more lively than oven in 1856, when
rousing majority of 10000 was thundered out
Our New England exchanges are very jubilan
over the prospects at this day of grace. Very
prudent men in Maine state the probable ma
jority at 5000; careful political fgurers pu
the majority at 1000, and the more booming

uAMPrON,s pERpLEXITy

The Staunton Vindicdtor, the democratic
organ, has this report of WADE HAMPToN's
speech, or that portion of it which he
attempts to eliminate from the text in a
sneaking way:
Pause before you cast your vote. Think
how LEE would have voted; think of what
JACKSON would have done before he would have
cast vote calculated to divide his beloved
Virginia. ! ask you to remember those who
have died on your soil, and to remember that

trial to-day. say nothing of your differences

men, on both sides, but l beg you to remem-
Der that, whether you are read justers or fund
ers, you are still Virginans.
When those honest utterances found
their way to the public eye the copperheads
became alarmed and beseeched HAMPTON
to wriggle himself out OF it in some way
but he then knew that he had not been
misrepresentcd, as is evidenced in his re-
sponse to that supplication, which was as
follows:
What good TO deny this story to be instantly

cockites may abuse Secretary SHERMAN in a
scolding way uutl they tire themselves
out, but that will in no degree change
the record of history. The wound must be
severe that produces so much 6uttering.
Because 1t Is the habit of the government
to feed and clothe General HANCOCK as an
army officer for more than forty years, it
does not create an obligation that the
people should elevate him to the control Of
the government as its chief magistrate, with
Il rebel following that in no degree seeks the
public peace and welfare. No one objects
to his being continued in the military service,
but the patriotic sentiment of the nation
does object most seriously to giving the con-
troll of public affairs into the hands of a
party which has endeavorcd TO take the ma
tions life by rebellion, and now bears no
respect for the requirements of the constitu-
tion and the laws. The experiment is
fraught with too much danger.

SPEAKING of the district which he mis-

recently in letter to his opponent for the

The district MS you know, has n republican

Here is now an admission which shows
very clearly how systematically the repub-
licans in that district at least-and il is so
all through the south-are delrauded of
their rights as voters. Mr.. ACKLEN con-
fesses that there is 5000 republican ma
iority in the district which he represented
in congress. He says he asks only what is
" fair, Just and honorable" How came he,
