The Democratic Programme.

Editors Dispatch: In the contest next
fall for State officers, &C., the Democratic
party, if il would win, must put the debt
question aside, look upon it ~ matter with
which they have nothing to do, and let the
northern bondboders get their pay the best
way they can out OF Billy MahOne's Re-
adjustcrs and their Republican allies IN the
United States Senate.
The Democrats will need but one plank
in their platform-i. e.. opposition to Re-
pubhcanism, whether found among Debt
Paving Republicans or Mahone's Roadiust-
ers. Never mind all the balderdash about a
fair count and a free BALLOT but just go
in to whip Radcaism even if it does stir
up again that terrible lin the eyes OF the

if l know them rightly. think white man
is as good a. a "nigger,' and just little
better TO manage the government OF Nir-
ginia, and, thus thinking, will doubtless see
to il next fall that the control OF the State
government continues in the hands OF the
SimOn-pure white Democrats.
Such must be the programme. The Re-
publicans will follow Malone next fall. not
TO readjust the State debt, but, il possible,
to crush The lrhite Democracy.
Our business will be then 10 fight Repub-
licsnism, whether led by Malone or Wick.

Who Must Yield ?

The Cincinnati Commercial is one OF the
leading Republican Journals In Ohio. MU'
RAT HALsTEAD, its editor, is power IN the
Republican party. He is supposed to be
unusually cool aud calm in reaching con-
illusions. He sometimes kicks out OF the
traces, however. Well, the Commercial has
diagnosed ",he situation" in Washington,
and tells what he thinks Of it. Read his
report, and see II you agree with him. He
says:
"In brief, it is public opinion, so far as
we can gather 1t from various sources, that
the importance OF the contest in the Senate
has been unduly magnifed, both as respects
ats immediate and remote consequences,
and there is apprehension that public in
teresis will suffer because OF u.
$50 TAR as that is concerned, there is in
difference whether the deadlock is broken
now or is continued till the middle Of dog
days. But In such event, as we have shown,
the Democrats have all the advantages on
their side, and can so contrive rs not to
make all sessions burdensome to them
selves"
viii the Democrats WELD under these cir
cumstances? Can they: Dare they ? Would
1t not be suicide: Surely it would. They
have the winning cards ia their own hands.

The Valley regiment OF light infantry il
is now certain will be organized in about
ten days. Captain w. l.. Bumgardner, Of
the Staunton (West Augusta Guard, has a
communication to-day from the Warren
Light Infantry of Front Royal, the last
company TO hear from, which decides the
matter. The officers OF the Valley COM
panies will meet ut Woodstock in ten days
or two weeks and elect their field officers.
1t Is estimated that the companies will ave.
rage fifty men. A great deal OF interest in
the new organization is felt here and else
where in the Shenandoah Valley.
MIR. James Hess, a clerk at the American
Hotel, was accidentally shot few nights
ago by Charlie, little son Of Captain John
Woodward, the proprietor. The little fell
low had small noiseless gun in his hands
playing with the lock, when he exploded the
cap. The ball struck Mr.. Hess on the brow
OF the left eye, and grazing the skull few
inches passed out near the top OF his head,
making an indentation in the ceiling. The
wounded man fell to the floor, stunned and
bleeding, and the little fellow, who was
much attached to Mr. Hess, went into par
oxysms OF grief. DIR. Hanger was soon
summoned. aud found that the wound was
not dangerous, but that the escape had been
very narrow one.
Another burglary has been perpetrated
here since my last, which, however, did not
come TO much. The thieves forced an en-
trance through the basement-window Of
Pinkerton Brothers commissioner house and
rummaged their Office drawers for money,
but failed to find any. They left with few
trifllng articles. Some nights before the
stores Of Messrs. T.. ID. Sublett & Son and
William Rock were entered in the same
way. and the former had S1.50 taken from
drawer. Mr.. Rock lost $40 or Sl2 In

this lateral extension of the Danvile rail-

cannot afford 10 be without this railroad.
1t would open up a magnificent section Of

some years ago that the country 10 he hem
Gifted by this road is capable OF sustaining
