Two recent exhibitions of the feeling of
the people of the Southern States should
be carefully noted by our countrymen of
other sections. In the Southern Presby-
terrain General Assembly resolution not
to take the initiative in Christian greeting
to the Northern Assembly was voted down
by the decisive vote Of 10S to ID. And In
the Baptist Association of Virginia in ses-
sion at Richmond last week q resolution
to cancel the contract with the American
Baptist Publication Society, the advocates
urging that the time had not come for
cooperation with any Northern society,
was voted down by an overwhelming ma
jorivy. Our Northern friends may also
note the fact that these religious bodies
include some of the best intelligence of the
States represented in them.

We all pretty well understand now what
it should turn out the right stripe. 1t is
to elect John F. Lewis, a Republican, to
the U. s. Senate. If he gets there he will
have an opportunity like Senator Malone
of declaring that his election to the Senate
will have good ground for the statement il
the Democrats-whether Readjusters or
"Fu nders''-let him get to the position TO
1t. Governor. The settlement of the debt
is not running in the heads of ex-senator
Lewis and Auditor Massey just now-it is
the u. s. Senate.

The Democrats of Virginia may be pref
ty we'll assured that all the efforts of Pres
about a fusion between the straightout
Republicans and the Mahoneites. His in
f1uence will be felt IN the Republican
State Convention and perhaps success
fully. This will insure National Dem
ocratic victory in 1884 when the Federal
patronage will pass in hands that will
never dispense it to aid the destruction of
either National OF State credit.

FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE 10, 1881.

The Republican State Executive Com
mittee assembled at Richmond yesterday
and, as we learn by a telegram yesterday
evening, declared in favor of State Con-
yention. The Committee called for
meeting of the Republican State Central
Committee at Richmond June Goth, to ar
range for a State Convection. The tele-
gram adds that an address, prepared by
Gen. Wickham, urging the Republicans to
stand squarely by their colors and their
principles, was adopted by the Executive
Committee.

How far off another financial panic may
be it is not easy to say, but that the rail-
road craze now ruling is quietly fastening
the time is not to be controyerted. The
number of new railways projected and ae-
tually commenced, absorbing capital which
it will require years to make productive, is
a strain that even the present prosperity
of the country cannot stand.

1t will be we'll remembered by our read
ers that the Readjuster speakers (they
were ''Readjusters' then, not having yet
put Republican for 1t. Governor on
their ticket) who stumped the State were
unanimous in the assertion that the reas-
sessment of the real estate of Virginia
would show falling off of twenty-five per
cent. Auditor Massey who was supposed
to know all about it said from Is to 80 per
cent. These assessments were given to
the people literally through the campaign
of 1880, up to November. The annual re-
port of Auditor Massey for the year end
ing Sept 80, 1880, has just made its ap-
pearance and the following estimates are
Jaken from it in reference to the reassess-
ment of lands:
The value of real estate in Virginia ac-
cording TO the returns of the reassess-
ments made in 1875, pursuant to Article
10 of the Constitution, chapter 80, sec
ton 6. Code of 1878, and
the Act of Assembly Of
March 81, 1875, was. 80. $246, 046 1891. 40
The value of real estate in
Virginia according to
the returns of re- assess
ments made pursuant
to law in 1880 is. 234, 272 ,951 02
Decrease in 1880. .........$ 11,773. 1854
When the deductions made by the courts
are added the decrease will be about 5 per
centum.
The decrease in the revenue from this
source is about $65,OOO, but the saving by
biennial sessions of the legislature far over
balances it. So, before the official figures,
fades away another bug bear of Readjustar
orators.

The Malone ticket must be fine reading
for Secretary Blaine. If it were to carry
Virginia the Secretary may look for a
straight out, copper-toed Grant delegation
from Virginia to the next National Re-
publican Convention. The little General
always had a soft side for the silent Gen
eral.

said Col Cameron in his speech accepting
the nomination. That is the trouble Will

be one or the other. This is not a game
that can be won by coppering.

Politics and Politicians,

When the Democrats try to effect re-
trenchment in the National Government
it is pronounced al effort Of the 'srebe,
brigadlers" to stop the Government; but
we see that Postmaster General James has
already effected saving Of $750,0OO an
nually on the way his depart ment was run
under the Hayes Administrations.
A telegram from Louisville, KY. to the
Richmond "Whig,'' says the Republicans
OF that city and State strongly favor Ma
hone and Ca neron' and adds Put forth
your best efforts to elect the Readjuster
candidates." Of course; the Virginia
Democrats must be blind who ca t see it.
telegram from Harrisonburg, says the
Malone ticket has fallen fiat here, and
adds that 'leading Republicans here say
that they will wait to see what the Repub-
lican State Convention does before they
commit themselves to the fortunes of this
ticket.''
Charles Sitlington, of Bath county. a
Readjuster who has constantly supported
Malone and Paul and voted for the latter
for Congress. has written letter to the
Richmond Dispatch" in which he says:
Gas far as my observations go and roy as
sOciatlOns with the people If my county,
l think Can safely Say that don't think
there is a man of the Readjuster party
who is or was tinctured with the Conser-
vative party but will in future support the
Conservative nominees for State offices.7'
President Garfield, while at the Norfolk
Navy Yard last Saturday, had a CONVEX
sation with prominent Republican upon
the political situation in Virginia. After
the conversation, the Republican referred
to, in conversation with the editor of the
Norfolk LEDGER" "denied emphatically
that the President either intends to give
Malone the Federal patronage of Virgin
la, or that he wishes the Republican party
to unite with Malone in the coming con-
test" We don't know that the Presi-
dents action, except as affects his own
party in the Northern States. is of much
Importance. The Virginia Democrats, if
their present determined spirit is reinforc-
ed by judicious nominations at the August
Convention, can overcome a coalition of
both opponents by "a handsome majority.

TROUBLE IN ROCKINGHAM.

TROUBLE IN ROCKINGHAM.
Rockingham, through the chairman of
her delegation, gave seventeen votes for
Cameron. This announcement was o5jec-
ted to, and several gentlemen from the
county arose and one by one took their
seats, protesting few knew for WHAT amid
cries of ''Call the roll" ''Sit down, :"
''Time, "and the beating of the Speakers

An alternate said it had been stated that
they were bound by resolution to vote
solid on all questions. He contended they
had a perfect right to use their discretion
in behalf of the interests of their eonsJit-
uents..
The Chair decided that as there was a
diversity of opinion ON the subject the roll
should be called. The result was II for
Cameron and for Massey
Thus was Rockingham righted.
THE BREAK UP.
The tide of battle on the fourth ballot
was turned from Massey to Cameron by
Accomac county-a county which, in the
memorable Democratic Convention of
1877, stood for Malone for Governor first,
last and all the time. This county casts
IL votes AS soon as it was announced by
DR.. Richard Wise, the son of the late Gov
ernOr Henry A. Wise, native of Acco-
mac, that the county changed its vote
from John S. Wise, another son of Gov
ernor. Wise, general break occurred all
along the Groner and Massey lines. At
this juncture the scene in the Convention
was one OF the widest confusion. Men
stood up in their seats and yelled, calling
for order and adjournment. The leaders
OF the Massey delegation appealed to the
convention to take recess, and made ev
cry other motion for delay. In order to de-

HheHix Herald: The road from Phe- nixito Wickenburg for the last ten miles winds for most of the distance up the bed of the Hassayampa creek. At diff fereut places the banks on both sides run abruptly from the creek. The stream Is perfectly dry at most seasons, but the old residenters in that neighbOrhOOd will tell of times when the banks were running full, and of the danger of camp ing in the bottom of the treacherOUs stream. It had been sO long since a frcshet that teamsters had grown care less iu selecting their nightly stopping places, and last Saturday night SIX of them were caught out. Six teams, two owned by Billy Moure, two by Mir. Sears and twd by parties whose names we did not learn. with six horses each, thirty six animals in all, unlocked for the night ih the creek; about 9 o'clock a cloud burst to the north. and solid col .umn of. water ten feet high came down stream, carrying everything before it. The men had barely time to climb up the banks, but the horses, wagons and freight were carried down stream, and at last accounts not the slightest trace of anything could be found. If the loss is as bad aB reported it will loot up nearly SlO.GO0.
