There is not a Democrat in Augusta county
nor in Virginia or the South, who is not inter
ested and will not be benefited by the success
of the Republican party. 1t would give as
surance that the present business prosperity
which is influencing every branch of trade and
enterprise, was to continue, and that no fuc-
tuations or disturbance in the channels Of bus
mess were to occur. Republican success means
a perpetuation of the confidence that is entic-
ing capital from its deposits into industrial I'M
dertakings, and giving labor employment
creating home market for home productions,
and ramifying its benefits throughout every
avenue of endeavor. It means benefits to Re
publicans and Democrats alike, in dispite OF
Democratic perversity and short-sightedness.
Intelligent business men see this, and many OF
them who have heretofore acted with the
Democratic party, will either vote the Repub-
Iican ticket, or notvote at all. h

in circulation, and possibly iuegitimate means
resorted to for the purpose of deeeiving the

FORGED cANcELL1NG STAMP.

Postmast er Anger has contributed the following
to the chain of testimony convicting Barnum and
Hewitt of connecting forgery:
Hon. MARSHALL Je1oell, Neoo York City:
The New York Truth publishes what purports to
be the fac-simile of letter alleged to have been
written by Gen. Garfield to H. L. Morey on the
Chinese question, together with the envelope in
which 1t should have been enclosed That the whole
thing is manufactured, bold and villianous fraud
the following facts will fairly show No such cancel
ling stamp as is shown on the envelope was in use
at the Washington postof1ce the 22d Of January,
the date the letter was claimed to be mailed. An
entire new set of cancell1ng stamps placed in
use in this office on the 18th of April. The Truth
fac-simile is very good representation of the
stamp but 1T is totally unlike the in in this
office on the 23d of January, the old stamp being
made of rubber and the new of steel, and very
unlike in their arrangement. This shows conclu-
sively that the whole matter is unmtigated for
gerry, for which the authors should be sent to the
penitentiary. D. 3. ANGER,

Recognition.

The reader will find in this issue of the VIR-
! alNlAN tile address of the Chairman of the
National Democratic Committee, recognizing
| the Funder faction as the true Democratic
party of Virginia, and the reply of the Read
justers to it, signed by Gen. Malone. This
Re-adjuster vote in this election, solidify it as
| a separate party in the future, and seal the
doom of the Bourbons. Many who would
have voted for the Funder ticke t, who are Re
adjusters in State policy, will now support
the Re-adjuster ticket, and fully identify them
selves with that organization, as their future
party association. Like everything that ema-
mates from Mr.. Barnum and the Bourbon De-
mocracy it is binder. They do not seem
to understand the people. 1t is a species of
bull-dozing, or arbitrary exercise of dis
puted authority, which the masses will not re-
cognize or tolerate. They have way of
thinking for themselves, and determining their
own line of conduct, and doing so indepen-
IDENTIFY of the dictation and orders of outside
parties. They have thrown off the yoke of
the proscriptive and despotic Bourbon dynas-
ty, and when it comes to choice between the
parties now representing in Virginia polit-
ical fossils and liberal progressive ideas, they
will, without hesitation, unite with the latter,
however much the Bourbons may howl about
regularity" and their superior claims to the
confidence of the country. The Bourbous are
now in the last throes of dissolution, and of
coarse will make desperate struggle for dear
life but it will be in vain. They have abused
and outraged the people so mercilessly in the
past, that no mercy will now be extended to
them in their dire need. They have been
weighed in the balance and found wanting
and their doom is fixed

The Last Resort.

Our democratic friends on Wednesday were
making great ado over the reception of a
fac-simile copy of the forged letter on Gen.
Garfield about the Chinese question. 1t was
that particular fac-simile that Gen. Garfield
denounced as stupid forgery, and has in
structed the chairman of the Republican
National Committee to put the detectives on
the track of the infamous rascal who perpe-
trated it. Hon. FL. B. Chittenden, of New
York, has offered $4,000 for the discovery of the
forger, and the detectives, it is believed, will
bag the game before the week is out, if it has
lit, whose name was given by Barnum as
recognizing Garfeld's hand writing in the
letter, in public speech at Rochester, n Y,
on the 25th, acknowledged that the body of
the letter was not written by Garfield, but
says the signature looks like his. These facts
are all before the country, and were known
here, no doubt, when the fac-simile came, and
was shown around as sensation.
In addition to the unquestionable proofs
that the whole connection is fraud and
iOIScly, Ilt lOlioWIuS tClCSIlu uOu 00n.
Garfield emphasizes the scoundrelism which
is attempted to be practiced. Those who are
instrumental in giving currency TO the exposed
infamy will have the qualification of knowing
that instead of driving honorable men from
the Republican candidate, it will add to his
strength and give him votes that he would not
otherwise have received.

To the Conservative Voters Of Virginia.
The hope entertained by this committee and
shared by the Democratic party of the country that
the friends of Hancock and English i'll Virginia
would by the action OF their local authorities unite
in fraterna effort to carry the State, having been
defeated by refusal OF the leaders of the 7th Of
July movement to accept the basis of settlement
rendered by the regular Conservative Democracy,
this committee feels that ii is due to the high trust
with which it is charged that ii should urge
upon the people of the Old Dominion the hearty and
united support of the ticket which nominated
by the convention of May 19th That convention
was called, organized, and conducted under the reg
uar forms of party; its delegates participated
without contest in the national Democratic conven-
ton at Cincinnati; it afiiateS with the national
Democracy of the country. Moreover 1t has earned
the commentator of the friends OF Hancock and
English throughout the land by the promptitude
with which its committee waived all these claims
and rendered the olive branch to its opponents in
offer to make with them fusion ticket, on terms
of perfect equality ticket which would have made
Republican canvass in Virginia az 1mposs1bll1ty.
The rejection of that offer throws upon those who
refused it the responsibility for perpetuating the
existing divisions in your ranks Let the patriotic
voters Of Virginia heal the breach The need of
this unity is now manifest. The Republican party
having adroitly famed the dtscord in Virginia by
the pfetence that they did not propose to make a
canvass in that State now, deem1ng mat your dis
cord is trreconcilabie, announce Qtncay thelf re-

GUS to note that in old and well settled
countries, where other: crops have been

Thus, in the corn and cattle countries
of Illinois and Iowa, where corn is

the best possible preparation for corn,
which is the worst preparation for
