lDdnNllle NcWesI
When the North Danyille Hancock and
English and CabeI Club raised their flag
pole they surElOunted 1t with the figure OF
cock, but somehow in the erection OF the
pole the cocks position became deranged.
The pole lacks but few feet Of being one
hundred in height, and to alter the position
Of the cock became matter OF much con-
Germ TO our neigbbors over the Dan. Sew
eral attempts were made by men TO ascend
the pole, but in every instance the hearts OF
the climbers grew faint, and before mole
than half OF The pole was sealed they
turned back. Yesterday, however. Mr. L.
j. COrbin, the impusiye aud ener-
getic president OF the North Danville
Club, offered colored man employed
by the Western Union Telegraph Company
SO il he would climb 10 the figure that
tipped the top OF the pole and place it in
proper position. The man accepted the
offer, and was soon at the top Of the pole.
The wind was blowing briskly at the time
and the slender pine pole swayed beneath
the weight Of the daring climber, who,
nothing daunted, reformed his task while
the lookers.on stood with their hearts in
their mouth as they watched him. lie
ASKED IL he had finished the work right, and
an affirmative reply was shouted him back.
WbeTeupon the coored man removed his
hat aud ut nearly one hundred feet from

WASHINGTON, September 80 From GER
tain developments OF Republican manage
ment In the last few days it has TRANSFERRED
that whist is called a still-hunt has been in
progress in at least two OF the States OF the
South for quite time past. These TWO
States are North Carolina and Florida. and
it is now known that the probability OF Sc
curing their electoral vote is included IN the
calculations at Republican headquarters.
In addition TO this the Republican man
ayers, fully approaching the advantage OF Sc
curing the control OF the next House0f Rep
resentatiyes, whether Garfield Is elected or
not, have been quietly surveying the con-
gressOnal districts OF the South with view
10 the picking up OF one here and there
where Democratic dissensiOns justify en-
enlargement. Democrats will perhaps be
startled to learn that, as the present
situation is viewed through Republican
spectacleS, it is considered that the chances
are very fair for the securing OF enough dis
tricts in The South 10 reverse the majority in
the Rouse without any gains whatever from
the North. Among the districts which the
Republicans think they have good fighting
chance for are not less than three in Nir-
ginia, two in North Carolina, two in Ten
nessee, one IN IOul>ldHd, one III It loiiud,
one if not two in Georgia, and one in Texas.
in a number OF these districts two Demo-
cratic candidates are in the field, and in
others Democratic dissensions are such that
it is calculated the regular candidate will
come quite short Of polling the full party
cote. Whether Republican expectations
will be fulfilled in this respect the result
only will determine, but the stakes are high,
and it may be assumed that they will be
striven for with all the usual appliances. In
this connection it can also be mentioned
that the Republican managers here express
the utmost confidence in their ability TO Sc
cure at least two districts in Maryland.

and State Headquarters OF the Republican
marty appear IN the last Valley Virginian,
the only organ Of that party now LETT In
Virginia:
TO THE REPUBLICANS OF VIRGINIA.
HEADQUARTERS Executive C0NMITTEE1
OF REPUBLICANS OF VIRGINIA.
RICHMOND. Va, September 81. 1880.
For your Information publish the fol'
lowing letter from the chairman OF the nc
publican National Committee:
HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN,
NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
No. 241 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK,
September 90, 1880.
General W. C. Wickhdm, Chairman Of
State Republican Executive Committee OF
Virginia:
Dear Sir,-The Republican National Com
miitee Is DESTROYS OF carrying the State OF
Virginia for the Garfield and Arthur cleo
toral ticket. They ask that your committee
use all honorable efforts TO achieve its sue
cess. and through you they ask every Re
publican in Virginia to lend all the aid IN
his power TO bring about an end so desira-
BILE, and so apparently within reach.
This committee will be pleased 10 receive
frequent reports from your committee, and
assures you Of its cordial support anu CO.
operation. Yours very truly,
MARSHALL JEWELL, Chairman.
You will perceive tbereftom that the ma
tional Republican party is looking with
deep interes. 10 the success OF the RepuD-
ican ticket in Virginia. Let US not allow
n or al
us Republicans do our full duty 10 ,his
canvass, and cast our votes soIldly Tor the
Garfield and Arthur electoral ticket ana Tor
our Republican candidates for Congress.
BY so doing we can elect our men, ana
have the proud consciousness OF having
contributed our full part to the mainte-
nance OF the principles OF that party under
whose policy the prosperity OF our grand
country has so greatly progressed.
Respectfully, w. Z. W1cKHAH'
Chairman Executive Committee.
Mr.. Yosr introduces the above as fol-
lows:
CLOSE Up>THE LINES.
1t Is The purpose OF the Virginia Republi-
cans to make a determined and active can
yass for the eleven electoral votes OF Nir-
GINA. This purpose receives a cordial and
earnest sympathy and cooperation not only
from the Republican National Committee,
but from the representative Republicans OF
the northern States.
1t is now time for all true Democrats to
take their places in the ranks OF The national
Democratic party. There has been cry
that the Republicans would not make con-
test in Virginia, and many true men were
led TO believe that it was not necessary to
withdraw the MALONE electoral ticket.
These men must now see that the Rcpubli-
cans are in dead earnest. The negroes are
all enemies OF the national Democratic
party and OF General HANCOCK. Do not
rely upon their casting single vote IN good
faith for HANCOCK and ENGLISH. II any OF
them vote for the MALONE electoral ticket,
it will not be because they desire to elect
HANCOCK. but because they hope thus to
damage The Democratic party.
