The proposition to withdraw the republican
electoral ticket in Virginia in favor of the re-
adjusters, upon Gen. Mahone's theory that the
republicans had no strength, was bright con-

SALE OF THE ATLANTIC, MISSISSIPPI AND
OHIO RAILROAD PosTPoNED.-A NeD York
PROFESSIONALLY order of the United States
Circuit court at Richmond Va, Saturday last,
the sale of the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio
railroad which was advertised to be made
Monday, has been postponed until the 10th
day of next February This became necessary
in consequence of the discovery that the pro-
per notices of sale required by the law of the
State and by the decree of the court to be
served on the board of public works and the
attorney general of Virginia had not been
served, and the advertisement had not been
published as required by law.
Mr.. j. Condit Smith, of New York, in let
ter dated Oct. 10, and addressed to Major John
W. Daniel, of Lynchburg, Va. wrote as fol-
lows eff the sale of the Atlantic, Mississippi
and Ohio railroad under the decree of fore
closure made by the United States Circuit
Court is postponed for ninety days l am conf
dent of my ability to organize a syndicate that
will purchase the railroad property at the sale
and pay for the same the amount due on the
second mortgage, represented by Francis Skid
ly and others as trustees, and in addition
thereto pay the State of Virginia the sum of
five hundred thousand dollars for her interest
and give the present stockholders 333 per cent
of the capital stock of the new company"

In his address at Mentor to mechanics and
soldiers who came to visit him, General Gar
field defined very neatly the Republican policy
and his own as to tariff protection when he
said Il have never thought it was suffi-
Gent reason for asking the legislature of the
nation to make laws merely to let one class of
citizens make more money; but when the in
6ustry in which any of our citizens are en-
gagged is one that the whole nation needs for
its defence and for the growth and develop
ment of its people, then every man so en-
ployed is doing great national patriotic work
which the government should protect and de-
fend Tor the good of all" This is the principle
upon which protection rests, and it is one that
should be held firmly. Every mechanic and
and laborer should think of this
in casting his vote to morrow, for it is this
that stands between our labor system and the
cheap wages of England.

and the national organization, with its in

suit.
What does the events of the past few
months teach the Republicans of Virginia
Plainly that they should perfect their or
,ganzation at once, drill their forces and
prepare for the contest of 1881. 1t is clear
that the rights we claim to be ours by the
Constitution of the country, can never be
secured except by a solid, compact and ag-
gressive organization. We can trust neither
Funder nor Re-adjuster. unless we surren-
der our national identity, and become the
subseryient tools of the very men who in
flicted the wrongs complained of upon us.
With our own numbers welded together,
and educated up to the great Interests in
volved, we will be in a position and condi-
ton to demand everything the Constitution
assures us, and to compel the faetion seek
ing our support to do justice as the funda-
mental law preseribes. We want nothing
more. We seek for no radical innovations
upon the conservative restraints of govern
ment; propose no invasion Of the safe
guards of society; but simply ask Vhat the
solemn pledge Of the people and the guar
antees of the Constitution shall be OBJ
served and that equal rights, in the spirit
in which the laws provide. shall be &C
corded. One hundred and thirty tousGnd
Republican voters IN Virginia united In
support of such just and righteous aim'
would not make their demand in vain. 1t

REASONS WHY

Why should vote the Republican tick

ed his majority, and is DESTROYS of making
considerations choice between the two parties
which solicit his ballot. Here are few reas-
ons why
Because the Republican party is the only
party which has no cause to be ashamed of
its past record,
Because 1t began its existence by resisting
the extension of the curse Of human slavery
to the Territories of the West.
Because it fought four years war to save
the Union from being broken into fragments,
and conquered the most formidable rebellion
khowb to history.
Because it emantipated four millions of
slaves, and gave them the right to :" life, lib
erty, and the pursuit of happiness which
the Declaration of Independence pronounced
to be the inalienable right Of all mankind.
Because by an amendment to the Constitu-
ton it forbade the States to deprive any cit
izen of the ballot on account of the color OF
bis skin, thus making suffrage national and
impartial.
Because in struggle of ten years dura-
tion, IL stadfastly and successfully defended
the national honor against the assaults of
regulators, and put the credit of the United
States on a par with that of the other great
civilized nations of the world.
Because IL made good the Nations prom
