Mr.. J. w. Cochran.

The Republican State Central Comm ittee
did honor to itself the other day in electing
the above gentleman to fill the honorable
position of Chairman of that body. 1t is,
we believe, the first instance in the history
of Virginia, in which a gentleman of color
has enjoyed that. distinguished honor.
The present committee will be in power
only until the meeting of the Lynchburg
Convention on the 10th of August. Should
that convention see tit to re-elect Mr.. .Coch-
ran or some other colored man to the posi-
tion he now holds, the white men OF the
Republican party would then give an earn
est of the Oft proclaimed intention of max
ing no difference on account of color. Thir-
teen months are small compared with thir-
teen or more years.
Mr. Cochran is man of intelligence and
good Judgment, He was born in Mt, Scion,
Augusta county. Va, is 43 years of age and
is aishoetnaker by trade. He was a sold cr
dur ng the late war and served with the
Massachusetts Volunteers. He is now a
resident of Harrisonburg, Va.-Richmond
Star.
We are we'll acquainted with Mr.. Coch-
ran. and unite our testimony to that of the
Star, to his personal and political integrity.
He will. we have no doubt, make fair, i'm
partial and efficient chairman, and believe
that his administration will conduce to the
harmony and effectiveness of the Republican
party and its organization,

BOSSiSn.

1t is very evident that the current of public
feeling is strongly setting in against "Bossism"
in politics. In Virginia we have had Boss
who is now holding together few Readjuster
Democrats, most Of whom are sub-bosses, and
the machinery has been put in order to create
sub Repu 5lican Boss, as supplement to the
other Boss. 1t would be well enough that
this matter be understood at once. The Re-
publicans of Virginia do not intend to submit to
this kind Of political tyranny. Wearc not en-
tirely ignorant of the influences which have
been unsuccessfully invoked to aid in thus re-
ducing the Republican party of Virginia to a
mere gang of henchmen. 1t is assumed that
all that is necessary to establish the rule of
Bossism is to have an intmation from certain
sources in Washington that the Boss must be
aided and supported, and that it will be done
There is gross mistake just here-a mistake that
will react with very pronounced effect before
this canvass is over. We suggest, as the very
best and most effective method to cure this
species of mania is for the Republican party to
go to work at once in encouraging Republican
sentiment, perfecting Republican organization
and stimulating high Republican purpose
1t may be assumed as well settled fact that in
no other way can the Bourbon Democracy be
defeated. The proposed coalition cannot dc
it, for the coalition of the masses of the Repub
licans with handful of Democrats, posing as
ReadJusters-a term that has now no political
meaning-by which the latter could be made
TO swallow the former, will never be effected
Jonah did not swallow the whale, nor can
few Democrats swallow the old Republican
party. If Bourbon defeat cannot be brought
about through the Republican organization it
cannot be done at ALL We should not only
have State Republican ticket in the field
but candidates for the Legislature in every
county in the State where enough Republicans
can be found to constitute the candidates Let
it be known everywhere that the Republicans
of Virginia are not for sale-that they do not
care to pass under the yoke of the Bosses
without even asking their consent, but
that they propose to stand firm to their organ
ization, their principles and their integrity 1t
is only by such resolution that their self-respect
will be maintained, their future assured, and
the Republicans of Virginia be regarded as a
part and parcel of the great Republican party
of the North. Let the bosses understand this
and understand it with emphasis, and we will
see little more modesty and little more re-
spect for the masses than have been of late
manifested

The Assassin.

There is no rational doubt but that the act
of the assassin Guiteau was the work of his
own connection and execution, and that there
is no political significance to be given to it.
His utterance as he leaped from the PROSTATE
form of the President, that Il am all right, Ar
thur will be President; am a stalwart," was
either the creation of morbid disappointment
or the well considered words of a finished
scoundrel. The most reasonable Interpretation
of the language used is that the man was crazy
and believed that President Garfield put out of
the wav, and Arthur installed in office his re-
jected opportunities might be more favorably
considered. But it would be monstrous to in
sinuate that any other than his own frenzied
brain could have conceived such a thought.
The harsh suspicious which found ungarded
expression after the first shock of the great ca
lamity, we have no doubt have been amply re-
pented of, and that now there is no rational
mind that entertans any other belief than that
Guiteau, and he alone, is responsible for his
dastardly act His whole history proves him
to have been fanatic and fool, and however
methodically he may have planned his fiend-
ish purposes, the very daring of their execu-
ton demonstrates that it was the work of q
mailman.

with Generalization and disgrace as the
fruits for the Republicans to embrace
There is not single reason or prospect
that can be presented to justify any such
miserable cowardice and political hnckSter-
ing. There is not an idea or policy sug-
gested by the Ref djusters which meets with
Republican approval, that does not belong
to and is not the outgrowth of the Republican
party. Can it not be as safely trusted to
carry them into effect as those who have

when they find chat power is beyond their
reach without the votes Of Republicans
They have been our bitterest reyilers, in
the past the most earnest champions OF the
EXTREMIST wrongs they now propose to corr
rect. when it was popular to be so. But now
when they are helpless without Republican
votes they come to the front as the most eX-
travagant admirers of liberalism which
they have ever opposed and of guaranteed
rights which they have been foremost in de.
nying and violating.

lican party in their hearts will detest the
whole scheme OF surrender when they I'M

all the machinery of office, ranifed as ii
IS throughout the State, will be sufficient to

at its very life.
The ''bosses'' might as well understand
first as last that they cannot transfer the
Republican party of Virginia over to the
/ Re-adjusters at their bidding and to save
their official scalps. They may pack the
primaries. they may secure their subservient
tools as delegates to the Convention, but we
warn them now that they cannot deliver the

Recent events and information have pos

which are to be employed to stab to the

no circumstances will the great mass of thu

Atlantic and Ohio Railroad.

The organization of the Atlantic and
Ohio Railroad Company, comprising. as it
does, in its members, gentlemen of large
business experience and ample means. is a
favorable indication for the interests of Vir-
ginia and West Virginia. The central OBJ
ject of the organization is to construct a
narrow gauge railroad from Matthias Point
on the Potomac River, to Point Pleasant on
the Ohio River. The rights and franchises
of the road, now completes from Freder
icksburg to. Orange Court House, have
passed into the possession of this company.
From Orange Court House to Harrisonburg
will constitute another link in the construc-
ton. At Harrisonburg the Washington
City, Cincinnati and ot. Louis Narrow
Gauge, which has also been purchased by the
Atlantic and Ohio Company, will fall into
the scheme, and the road be rapidly COM
pleted to its western terminal point. Last
week, Prof. Thos. Doane, of Boston. Pres
ident of the New England Society of En-
gineers, and at one time Chief Engineer of
the Northern Pacific Railroad, and for four
years Chief Engineer of the Hoosac Inn
mel. proceeded to Charleston, w. Va, to

Col. Brady's Denial.

To the Editor Of tile Wing.
In view of the outrageous attack upon me
in the issue of the VALLEY VIRGINIAN OF
November last, and the refusal of that pa
per to publish my card of explanation of
November 9th, which appeared in the Maer
Appeal and other Virginia papers, can
not, although Il Republican, expect to re-
ceiye simple Justice from that paper; and,
therefore. ask permission to say to the
public that did not support or vote for
Hancock at the last Presidential election,
and any statement made to the contrary is
false and slanderous. Respectfully,
JAS. d. BRADY.
We find the above in the Richmond
Wing of the I'd, and transfer it to our col :
umns in justice to Col. Brady. We have no
disposition to do him or any other gentle
man injustice, and give him the benefit of
our circulation to correcs the statement
we made. We had heard it stated that
he had voted for Hancock, and was prepare d
to believe that he had, from the history of
the campaign OF last fall The allusion O.
Col. b. to the 18th of November is calcu-
lated to create wrong impression. The
card he published was quite lengthy a
marked copy was sent US. with no other in
dlcatiOn that we we were expected to pub
lish it. We did not know at the time who
mad sent it to us. 1t contained state ment
OF the reasons and facts which Col. Brady
relied on to justify his endorsement of the
scheme to take down the Republican Elec-
toral ticket, and for the Republicans of
Virginia to support the Re-adjuster Han
cock electoral ticket. Letters and teIe-
grams from Hons. Marshall Jewell and s.
w. Dorsey. Chairman and Secretary of the
National Republican Committee, were in
corporated in it, substantially advising the
course Col. Brady recommended, as in
dictated in a>puhlic-eard. We did not then
and do not nov consider the wishes of these
gentleman as sufficient grounds for the Re
publicans of Virginia to desert their party
and standard bearers. We then denounced
it as treachery, and now denounce it
as treachery, and the judgment of the
country will unite in this designation of it,
The Republicans of Virginia were and are
responsible for their own action and after
the National Convention of the party had
assembled, made its nominations and the
contest had been waged almost to it's close,
there was no devotion to party or principle
in recommending or countenancing the re-
commendatiog. for the Republicans of Vir-
gina or any other State, to desert their
cause and espouse that Of the Democratic
party, whether under the Re-adjpster or
Bourbon wing of that following.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.-Rev. G. L.
Hoge writes to the Central Presbyterian as
follows:
l closed on last Friday night, June Gath, en-
interesting meeting at Craigsylle. Some zeal
GUS Christians there thought they had noticed
an unwonted seriousness and attention, and
suggested that when Rev. F. F. Gaines, OF
Hebron, helped me in my communion services
on the third Sabbath, inst, he should preach
at nj ght at Craigsyilie. He began on the 1e,
and preached every night until ihessd. There
were fourteen or fifteen that rose for prayer.
There were two additions to our Church
Q.ebanony and Two or three more expected to
join us. Most of those interested will Join
other churches. 1t was thought that some
were aroused by his forcble and earnest SER
mons, who did not manifest it by rising for
prayer. The attendance was large and the
attention marked to the last.

staggered forward, and turned half around
