AT length Gen. Payne addressed let

an instant order for his release on the
parole granted the Confederate army |;
and, better still, an order for the re-
storation of all property taken from
him. On his return home, in June, he
found awaiting his call his own as well
as his AIDS horses and all their equip

for the inscription upon it. That
sword was appropriated by an officer
sitting upon the trial of Mrs. Surratt

80 RICHMOND, VA, July 5.-The
opinion that a compromise electoral
ticket, composed OF an equal number of
debt-paying and readjuster democrats,
will be effected is entertained by several
prominent men on both sides. About
fifty or sixty leading readjusters are in
conference in tins city tonight dis
cussiBg questions to come up before the
State convention OF their party, which
meets here Wednesday. The best in :
formed leaders of that faction express
the belief that no fusion ticket will fnd
favor among any considerable number
of delegates OF that body. Ali the ultra
readiuster leaders are emphatic in ex-
pressing their opposition to any COM
promise ticket, or, in foot, any direct
cooperation with the debt-payers in the
approaching canvass, and the latter are
generally disguised at the idea that an
attempt will be made to force such an
unnecessary issue upon them. Not
wl!hstanding the opposition now eX-
pressed by leaders of both wings, there
are some amsng both OF them, however,
who believe that some such plan will be
carried out. not by this convention.

An EX COnfederate's Tribute
TO General Hancock.

4 Pleasing Mcidem.-Among the
speakers at the Hancock ratification
meeting at Warrenten, Va, was Gen.
VIM. II. Payne, a leading lawyer OF
that town and Brigadier-general in
Gen. Fitz Lees Confederate cavalry
division. In a synopsis Of Gen.
Payne's speech the Warrenton Index
says:
"Gen. Payne related an incident,
personal to himself, which illustrated
how entirely Gen. Hancock sought to
end the war and soften Its hardships 10
lis victims. He described the scene
when his house in Warrenton was sur>
rounded al dead of night after Lincoln's
assassination, in violation Of the terms
of capitulation at Appomattox, and bow
he was dragged to Fairfax Conrt House,
though but recently badly wounded,
and locked up in jail with Federal de-
serters. All the property he then had
in the world, consisting OF horses and
equipments, were taken from him and
his aid, and from thence he was hurried
to Washington city, where, with four
companions, he was bounded through
the streets by an Infatuated mob who
supposed the prisoner had some connec-
ton with the assassination. From
Washington he was transferred, in
May, to Johnson's Island and supplied
with the unpleasant information that
he would be held for amnesty. Whilst
tlere every effort was made Tor his re-
lease by interesting some one OF inia-
ence in his behalf, Gen. Graut was

Barbour, Massey, Gibson.

A correspondent Of the State

Orange Courthouse, from which
we extract the following:
"Mr. Barbour then rose, and say
ing that had it not been that this

acter of one who was dead he would
not have spoken, proceeded to vim
dictate the late lamented Auditor.
Cheer after cheer rent the air, and
the excitement was great. People
who had strolled off whilst the Par
son was holding forth with his
dreary cry of poverty now Aockea
around the building. They seemed
to rise up out OF the ground,
and when Barbour, advancing to-
wards Massey and shaking his fin
ger in the latter's face shouted, 81
dare you to deny that you and your
party were ready to vote for Grant;
are, l defy you to say that you
are not even now plotting to sell
your vote to the highest bidder
the whole surging mass cheered,
yelled and hurrahcd until the very
building shook, and l think the
Parson did also. Mr.. Barbour then
showed the colored race how Mas
8ey wished to deceive them, and af-
ter speaking for five minutes gave
to Gibson, of Culpeper, who, born
in Orange, felt that the good old
county, had been disgraced by the
speech of Massey, appealing as it
did to the lowest passions of man.
lie upbraided Massey for introdu-
cling his everlasting topic on this
occasion, and wanted to know
"W hat has the State debt got to
do with the coming presidential
election ?" He praised Massey for
his wonderful talent of being able
to talk against time, and agreed with
him that Figures sometimes do
lie :" and, furthermore he said that
he had heard that parsons never
lie, but here was one that did ;
however, that was 20 be expected

all parties who are in favor Of electing

The Readiuster Convention

What sort OF Convention that is ex.

from the following resolution which was
passed by Republican Congressional
Convention held in Alexandria last
week. We quote from the Gazette:
J. B. Syphax, Of Alexandra county,
offered the following resolution, which
was adopted:
Resolved, That this Convention ear

operation Of the Conyention to assem-
bic at Richmond on July 7th, aud ask
such action at their bands as may best
secure the interests of the people Of this
State.

ferred to a Hancock Convehtion?-

WHAT democrat who has the good
of the cause at heart desires to see the
democratic vote of the State divided
between two sets Of electors both repre-
senting Hancock and English. One
electoral ticket is in the field put up by
convention, delegates from which
were recognized by the Nationa! Demo-
cratic Convention in Cincinnati, and
who helped to nominate Hancock and
English. What right then has a con-
vsntion composed Of Republicans and
Democrats to put another Hancock and
English ticket IN the field, and claim
for it the support Of The dem ocratic
voters OF Virginia? Vote for the ticket
at the head of our columns. 1t is. the
regular Hancock and English ticket,
and no other should receive democratic
support.

MEN who profess to be in favor Of
Hancock and English and at the sa~e
time advocate another electoral ticket
representing Hancock..and English in
Virginia have strange way ofsupport-
ing their men. Divide the democratic
vote of Virginia between two sets OF
electors, and the State goes republican
beyond all controversy. The eleven
votes of Virginia will be needed to
elect Hencock and English. The eleven
electors representing Hancock and
English were put in the field by the
democratic convention of Virginia, and
what objection can there possibly be to
unite on them, and elect them BY City
thousand majority?

Republican Meeting.

After the adjournment Of the Re-
adiuster meeting last Monday,
about twenty of the leading color
ed Republicans in the county held
a meeting, and elected the follow
ing colored republicans as Delegates
to the Richmond Convention Of Ju-
ly 9TH, viz: Reuben Hughes Sr.
Charles CofIey. Alex. Loving, Nor
ris Branch, II. p. Weeden. Robt.
White, and Alex, Washington. One
of these delegates, Chas. Coffey,
represented this county in the late
Republican convention held in
Stanton. We are not able to get
the proceedings in full.
One OF the leaders in the meeting
informed us that he, and his party
where Readjuster Republicans,
and whilst they were very much
pleased with Mr.. Wise's speech, yet
things did not go to suit them alto
gether, and they would send these
delegates down to look after their
interests. 1t being suggested, that
probably his delegates would not
be admitted, he replied; THAT he
knew whereof he spoke, and had
good reasons to know that that they
would be admitted.
We suppose they can get in un-
der the End resolution, adopted by
the Readjuster meeting, which ad-
mits any Readjuster to become a
delegate. Who will sign their Gre
dentials ? How will the conven-
ton know they are ReadJusters ?
Or will the convention recognize
the fact that they got the colored
vote last fall, almost solid, and adj
nit them on general principles p

find strange mixture in politics,
In the first place it is not, nor does
it claim to be conservative or Dem
ocratic convention, it is called SIM
ply as a I'VE learn from the official
call estate Convention of the
Read busters Party" Among the
delegates who will be found there
will be negro Republicans whose
names were printed last April as
having already voted in one State
Convention-tbat held at Staunton,
to send delegates to the Chicago
Republican Convention. 1t meets
too late to participate in the DELHI
erations Of the national conventions
of either party and has no place in
the party machinery of either. Tho
Democratic Readjuster delegates
from the counties who attend will
find that all this knot will be at
tempted to be UNFINISHED for them
by a simple but strange proposition.
1t is this; that in common with the
negro Republican Readjustcrs who
will be present they shall nominate
a straight out Democratic electoral
ticket and thus divide the Demo-
cratic vote of Virginia and throw
the state for Garfield. This propo-
sition will find its most earnest sup
port among the city delegates and
the plan will be to crowd the coun-
ty delegates into adoption.
Another proposition, and the one
that will find most of its support
among the the county delegates, will
be for letting the electoral ticket
alone and maintaining a strict Re
adjuster organization in the con-
gressional districts, by which
means the Virginia delegation in
Congress will be changed from eight
Democrats and one Republican to
six Democrats and three Republic
cans.
In either case the Republican
wing of the Readiuster organization
is the promised reaper Of the bene-
fits, In one, the possible gain OF
the State electoral vote for Garfield,
and in the other the gain OF two
congressman.
TIE first-named plan Of a straight
Democratic electoral ticket is the
one that will be insisted on by the
leaders Of the party and will most
likely be adopted,
But whatever be the result there
is nothing binding on a Democratic
Readjuster at home in the action of
a convention not pretending to be
a Democratic or Conservative body.
and composed in large part Of white
and negro Republicans. 1t will be
a hard matter to persuade the DEM
ocratic Readjuster of Virginia that
such a political assemblage can
meet at Richmond and dictate to
him mode of giving the electoral
vote of Virginia 10 Garield.-Statng
