The Independent Republicans of this
State are determined to relax no effort in
their warfare against the machine.
Wofe's success in polling 100000 votes
has given them fresh courage. They
held a conference in Philadelphia on We'd
nesday, and appointed committee of
seven, who were empowered to select a
committee of 251, which is to consist of
one member from each Senatorial and
Representative district of the State. In
dependent Republican clubs are to be
formed, and the people are to be inYited
to take active part in the election of del
egates to the State Convention The OBJ
iect is to secure control Of the State Con-
venton which meets next year to nomi-
nate candidates for Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor. The leaders make no
concealment of their purpose. They say,
they are working for Reform within the
party, and that they will not bolt, if the
machine secures control of the Conven-
tion. They are working in the interest
of no particular candidate, but for con-
venton wich shall represent the free will
of the party. Senator Davies participate
ed in the conference.

1t is thought there will be a falling off
Of at least twenty-five per cent in the cot

The Springfield 0n) Journal draws
this sad picture of Lincoln's law partner
Bill Ierndon is pauper at Springfield,
Ill. He was once worth considerable
property. His mind was the most argu-
mentative Of any Of the old lawyers in the
State and his memory extraordinary.
For several years before Lincoln was
nominated for the Presidency, Herndon
was in some respects the most active
member OF the firm, preparing the great
est number of cases for trial and making
elaborate arguments in their behalf
1t is said that he worked hard with
Lincoln in preparing the memorable
speeches delivered by the man who af-
forwards became President, during the
debates between Lincoln and Douglass in
1853, and in constructing the Cooper IN
stitute address delivered by Lincoln Il
short time before the war.
Hefndon, with all his attainments, was
a man who now and then went on a spree
and it was no uncommon thing for him
to leave an important lawsuit and spend
several days in drinking and carousing.
This habit became worse after Lincoln's
death and like poor Dick Yates, Ucrndon
went down step by step, till his friends
and associates point to him as a common
drunkard.

The editor of the Culpepper Times
has had son born unto pin and his
JOY is ecstasic. He says i
"If we had the money we'd give all
the printers in Virginia million dol
lars apiece, We'd buy steam power
presses for all our contemporaries, and
we'd build factories in Culpepper.
We'd own railroads and steamboats,,
fast horses and bcicles, banks and
Legislatures, We'd buy new uniforms
for the minute men send them to York
town and pay them yearly salery
besides. That's just the way we feel.
Money is no object now and we don t
care cent for COSTS

Register, who never had well spring
of Joy" in his house, can't enter into
the feelings Of the Culpeper brother,
and calls him wild editor" He'll
become tame enough by and by.-Ffee

struck on the cap of Illuminating MUIR
curry, and exploded the same, bursting
and shattering the rock into fragments.
One piece of stone, weighing upwards
Of three ounces, and about 81 inches
in length, struck Mr.. Lamb in the
left thigh above the bone, passing
nearly through the same. A number
of spalls entered his side, face and
arms, producing fearful and painful
wounds. His face was completely
blackened by the powder, and there
are apprehensions that he will loose
the sight of both eyes. The drill
which he was using was blown through
his hands decorating them terribly
with such force as to ascend upwards
OF a hundred feet or more and fall
ing IL the. cliffs above him. There
were five others around him when the
accident took place, but all escaped

CAUGHT AT LAST 4 set Of thieves,
known as the Bennett Gang, -four in
number) were arrested on last Sunday
morning. three miles from Buckton
station, Warren county, Va, and
lodged in Jail at Front Royal. They
have been carrying on petty thefts for
several years; annoying the people in
that neighborhood by disturbing their
milk houses, hen roosts, &c. Growing
bold by each and various successes, it
has led them to higher crimes. Some
few weeks ago they stold two horses,
one from Mr.. Frank Henry, and one
from Mr. B. F. Henry both living
within one and half miles of Ben
tonville, Va. Rewards were offered
for the return of the horses, and after
some few days delay, they were found
in Maryland. 1t seems that the Ben
nets have sister living in Maryland,
and that they run the horses there and
sold them. Since their arrest, other
crimes have been brought against them.
one of which is the burning of a barn
of a Mr.. Du finger, close to Riverton,
they are nos in Jail, awaiting the ac-
.tioi. of lie Grand Jury.

-One trick Of some of the Malone
speakers is to present to their audi
ences a sample ofthe Virginia Treas
uay notes, and declare that Virginia
had repudiated those notes, when
they KIN ow that those notes and all
kinds of currency-Virginia Treasury
notes, bonds, &c.-used in support
of the wer, were wiped out by the
Federal Government. They know the
State has no moro to'do with repu-
that class of bonds than she
has with the management of the bonds
and currency of Great Britain.

In THE absence of our ex-editor, the
duty, as well as the pleasure falls upon
us to take up the pen that he has laid
down, to. "wield the cerebcral scalpel, ]
in the furtherance Of the regular issues
Of the STAR, and IN behalf of people
who have so ably and intelligently
supported us in our infancy. Our OBJ
ject shall always be to promote the
honor of onr state, and to save the
credit of her people; condemning all
things that are deliterious to her lib
critics, and privileges (rehgiously and
politically and all receptions used by
party demagogues irrespectively, to
crafty their gains.
We hope that by our devoted love
tor our country, and its future pros
perity, as well as our feeble efforts to
maintain her old land marks, we may
gain an indefatigable respect and
friendship of her people. In the mean
time our efforts will be unsparingly
devoted to making the STAR more fas-
cinating in its brilliancy; sparing no
labor in making out our reports cor
rectly, and giving all the latest legiti-
mate news promptly.
We feel more strongly than we can
describe, the Importance of true his
tory of all deceptive matters circulated
throughout our country from time to
time; holding ourselves aloof from
them and endeavoring to bring them
to the light and knowledge of the
people, and hope our efforts will not
be in vain, but that the STAR may go
on rapidly in the increase of its cir
culation, until it finds its way into
every household in the State.

THE COLORED DEMOCRACY

On Monday night last, Messrs. R.
Page Hall, and Robert Turner Jr..
spoke to the Colored people of this
place. These speakers are both repub-
licans, but education and experience
have taught them that the "Fawninp
Readjuster" are not the kind to tie
to-. They announced themselves as
republicans always, now and forever,
but said they were heart and soul for
Daniel, Barbour, Mckinney, and
Holmes Conrad. They could not see
how any intelligent, right thinking
Colored man could cast his vote for a
man, who had denounced the Colored
people as only fit toa compete with
weasels and minks, and looked upon
them only as tools to swell their vote.
They look upon Maj, Daniel as the
colored mans friend, a friend to the
Public Schools, and one who will be
a Peoples Governor. They did not
know how any man could be Re-
adjuster and Republican too, as IRE
pudiation is poison to republicanism."
They want to know why it is that
the Great Mogul" Billy cuts off
so many many republican Office hol-
ders heads if the party he represents
are friends to the republicans. The
speaking was a success here. MAY
they and their espoused cause prosper
