How II Stands.

The so-called Straight Republicans in
Virginia do not appear to be very much
vexed with the Bourbon Democracy.
They reserve their hatred for the white
fSoutherners who have the negroes at
their back in their war upon the Bourbon
enemies of the latter. The negroes must
wonder what kind of Republicans they
can be who advise them to repel the pow
erful and tried friends who outnumber
the white Republicans three to one and
who have two-thirds of those white Re-
publicans as political friends and CO.
workers.
Let us throw out few suggestions. If
a few white professors of Republicanism
could 18th the aid of few hired negroes,
get majority of one in the Lynchburg
convention, they could make a straight
ticket and a State Central Committee.
The Democrats would cheerfully defray
the campaign expenses; and this divis-
ion of the Republicans might disgust or
discourage many Readjusters, who might
relax their efforts. The Bourbons could
continue to control the State government
and elect Bourbon United States Senator
The new State Central Committee could
offer to manipulate delegates to the next
national convention in exchange for the
Federal offices. The negro-well, he could

Some "crookedness" was, however, subsequently
suspected and officer Metzer was detailed to
make an investigation. On the 9TH instant some
ore was found with Thomas Price, an assayer, on
the corner OF Sacramento and Leidesdorf streets.
This ore was identified by John NJ. Adams and ex-
pcrts to be from the Ba;opilas mine. II had been

James OBrien, the foreman in the works Of Hoff-

TO have received the ore from n Spaniard named
Gutierrez, whose whereabouts he does not know.
He also acknowledged having received some ore
from OBrlen, but claimed II was base metal and
not silver ore. O'BFcn made n voluntary state
