THE OLD SECTIONAL ISSUES.

Republican papers in Nevada, know
ing that General Garfield is on record
in opposition to the Silver and Chinese
bills, are endeavoring to divert the at
tention of the people from these issues,
by revivng the old sectional issues,
which were settled forever by the war.
They would have their readers believe
that General Hancock is not only a
rebel sympathizer now, but that during
the war, while mis- sword was used on
the side and for the cause of the Union,
his heart was on the side of the Confed-
eracy. The facts that be achieved de.
cisive victories for the Union, and that
his gallant services were recognized by
a Congress, threefourths Republican,
after the war closed, are ignored by the
self-styled patriots of the Republican
press Of Nevada, not one of whom ever
struck blow in defense of the Union,
while they attempt by false assertions
to bIacken his reputation as soldier,
and make it appear that if elected he
would be tool in the hands of the
enemies of his country. Knowing that
they cannot make party capital by stat
ing facts and appealing to mems reason,
they fall back on the "bloody shirt,
and endeaxor to arouse mems preju-
dices, and while protesting to be the
party Of progression, are in reality en-
deavoring to retain power by reviving
old sectional issues, long since settled
beyond dispute. Their standard bearer,
General Garfield, recognized this fact in
1878, and in studied speech, delivered
In Congress in the second week of De-
cember, said:
.aPhe man who attempts to get up
political excitement III this country ON
the old sectional issues will find him
self without party and without sup
port. The man who wants to serve his
country must put himself in the line of
its lessdiag thought, and that is the res
toration Of business, trade, commerce,
industry, sound political economy,
hard money amy honest payment of all
obligations; and the man who can add
anything in, the direction of the accom-
plfshment of any OF these purposes is a
public benefactor.
What has occurred since that speech
was delivered to cause the -evival Of
old sectional issues, and to cause the
party of pEogression" to make the is
sues of the campaign of 1880 the same
rs those of 1864, which were settled by
the surrender of General Lee and the
restoration of the Union? Has not the
South been as peaceable since General
Garfield delivered that speech as it
was in 1878? and why is not success
full Union General, who is a Democrat,
entitled to the respect and confidence
of the public as much as Republican,

happy hit in his opening speech
touching the question as to
who should have credit for re.
sumption:
The years that have passed
since the theft OF the presiden-
cy have been years of plenteous
harvest. The labor OF the hus
bandman has reaped a rich re-
ward. 1.-The earth has been
tickled with the hoe and has
laughed with the harvest. :"
The benson OF the Most High
has been upon us, and the OPP
portunities afforded by His
gracious favor employed in
the economics OF two successive
Democratic congresses have
made possible that partial meas
ure Of resumed payment Of the
national floating debt, and that
equalization OF values, called
by the Republican party the
"resumption Of specie pay
ments." But the new prosper
tiles awakened by foreign de
mand and abundant domest .
products were gifts TO Oh

A SEW RAILROAD PROPOSED,
by Which tho baltimore & Ohio Roa,

by Which tho Baltimore s. Ohio Road
will be tho Gamer.
1t Is stated that arrangements havo been
completed for the building of new road to
connect the Virginia Midland road at Danyilc
with tho Charlotte & Atlanta Air Line, which
has extensive connections throughout the
south, and that the business of the south will
be transferred through Alexandra to the Bal
timoro s. Ohio road via Shepherds, on the
Maryland shore. The transfer will bo by
boat from Quantico to Shepherds, and will
thus divert from the Pennsylvania road the
traffic from tho south which it has heretofore
received at Quantico In addition to the six
miles between Washington and Alexandria
the Pennsylvania road only cou trolls seventeen
miles in Virginia, viz: the limo between Alex.
andria and Quantico; but by the new arrange
mont the Baltimore & OHIO road will receive
all the benefits OF the new connection. The
now boat to be used in tho transfer from
Shepherds to Quantieo will cost upward OF
$4,000, will be handsomely fitted up and
transfer cars without breakingb bulk. Surveys
for the new road have been completed and
rights of way secured, aud as the grades are
unusually light tue cost of construction will
be small compared with most railroads. The
Richmond & Danville road now derives from
the lines south OF Danville and north of Char
lotte y net revenue of about $4,000 annually,
and the line now to he built will tap pro-
ductivo country and divert to tho Midland
road much of the business now controlled by
the Richmond 4 Danvillc road.
