The Purpose of the Republicans.

It is very evident THAT the Repub.
licans will work in the next canvass to
abolish the capitation tax as prerequi-
site to suffrage that they may add large
ly to the voting strength of their party.
and that they consider the settlement of
the debt question as of comparatively
little importance. This is shown by
resolution adopted in meeting of Re-
publicans held in Fluvannas county as
follows:
Resolved, "That we as Republicans,
shall not work for supremacy in read
justing the State debt, but will work
for supremacy in human rights"
The last Valley Nirgimiam, in its no.
tice of Republican meeting held in
Harrisonburg last Tuesday to send de-
legates to the Petersburg Convention
which looks to an alliance with the
Mahoneites, says
"a meeting of the colored people OF
Rockingham was held in HarrisOnburg
on Tuesday night last, and J. w. Coles
and A. A. Hunnicut were appointed
delegates to the Petersburg Convention
The regular proceedings and resolutions
were sent us, but not in time for this
| weeks paper. The resolutions recog-
nize the removal of the restrictions to
suffrage as the supreme issue. The de.
legates were instructed to oppose, fol
the present, any action looking towards
the placing in the field of an independ-
emit Republican ticket next fall"
Both wings of the Republican party
-thatswhich favors, and that which op
poses, an alliance with the Mahoneite'
CONSIDER the. debt question as subordi
nate to the repeal of the capitation taz
and the success of the Republican par
ty. Will democratic Readjusters ali
the Republicans in there purpose to ge
control of the State? Will they pull
chesnuts out of the fire for the Repub
lican monkey to MUNICH?
| LARGE BEAR KILLED.-The Rock
ingham Register says that, on Monda,
of last week. "a party of about ten mer
had very interesting and exciting tim
in killing large bear near Rawle!
Springs, in Rockingham county. Bruir
was in hole, and after fruitless effort
to get him out, the hunters at last re
sorted to smoke, first setting trap, 81
as to secure their game when he emery
ed from the den. A large rock rolling
down, however. sprung the trap befor
: the bear reached it, but IS soon as hi
bearship appeared he was promptly sho
by Mr.. James Payne. He weighed q
, lbs. net, and old hunters say he woul
have weighed 500 If he had been fat
There was quite large crowd interest
ed in his capture, and about ten days
labor expended before he was taken"

SUICIDE OF A VIRGINIAN.-S. Frank
Hubert, a resident of Salem, Roanoke
county, Va, committed suicide at
o'clock last Wednesday afternoon, by
shooting himself in the temple at the
Smedley House, Filbert street near Six
tenth, Philadelphia.
Thomas Dejarnette will have a new
trial before the April term of the Cor
poration Court of Danville. He was
sentenced to death last fall by this Court
for the murder of his sister, but this de-
cision was set aside by tbs Court of Ap.
