For The Dispatch.
letter from Buckingham.

II has been claimed tn3t BucklnSnan II
the Lone Star county OF REIMBURSEMENT, on
account OF the recent elections Tor county
offices. This is not true, and that election
was not test. The Conservative Commit
tee OF the county took the ground that these
offices were non-political, and they diu hot
bring out single candidate. The truth Is,
the white Debt Payers in the county outnum-
Der the ReSdjusters nearly two to one, and
bu, for their black cohorts the victory over
them would be easy. AS il is, we expect to
defeat both combined. Cameron and Lewis
and Blair excite no enthusiasm here. In
fact, the nomination of Lewis, who is po-
Hfical traitor and a Radical, eXcites uDutter-
able disgust. Since Malone made the un-
boly and despsed coalition with the
blacks, and cast 120 Radical votes in the
United States Senate, some OF The lead
inc and most respectable Readiusters
have left this black-and-tan patty and allied
themselves unalterably with the true Con-
seryatives. 1t is only necessary for our Con-
yention TO nominate some man who adyo-
Gated the Barbour bill to insure the defeat
OF this Dolly Warden organization, who
have arrayed together all the worst elements
Of society in an unholy war not only upon
the sanctity OF contracts, but against those
principles which constitute the very VitaIs
O. law and order and good government.
This motley crew Is the Company 80" OF
politics, aud bands together the deserters
and straggiers and camp-followers OF all re-
spectacle political organizations, and some
OF its leaders do not hesitate to assert pro.
positions which Henri .ROchefort would
have hesitated to insert In the editO-
rial columns of La Lanterne in the
palmiest days OF the Commune. Ii is
q personal party, and every man
in il expects to get Office. He feels that he
has made q sacrifice in allying himself with
that organization, and he wants pay. de
is willing to arm TO the polls ga black ebo-
shin, gizzard-foOt negro" and do any other
act necessary to obtain the gliltering spols
of office, hoping after he has obtained the
prize to kick behind him the dirty platform
from which be leaped into power. We are
Obliged to Join battle with this set Of des-
perate adventures, and no quarter ought
TO be asked and none given. ln the Ian
euage Of Blackburn, I" He who dalies Is
bastard. He who doubts is damned" The
true Conservatives Of Buckingham are
going to strike from the shoulder on
the ides OF November. All we want
lis leader who believes that the
debtor class have some rights as well
as the creditor. Barbour, Moffett, Allen,
Ficklen, and Judge Staples are the class of
men who are now entitled TO the honors OF
leadership. They are true and tried Demo-
Gratis and earnest and honest Readi busters,
who have been un0agging advocates OF the
Barbour bill--a bill which was master
| stroke of genius and the essence of high
and lofty craftsmanship. The arrogant
Funders who denounced it have rued the
day they inveigled Governor Holiday into
| vetoing it and letting loose the Pandora's
box OF evils which is upon us. Let us,
Messrs. Editors, beware Of that set, for il
our Convention nomnates some spawned,
broken-down, out-aDd.out per cent.
Funder, Heaven only knows what will be
the result OF the election. Buckingham
wants new men. DEMOCRAT.
