an opossum, but was disappointed, as

the owner with the grease to make him
believe that he had eaten it. When he
awoke, he saw the bones of the opos-

were greas ed with it. whereupon he
came to the conclusion that he must
have eaten it, and exclaimed that he

Consolation.

There is consolation in the reflection
that you did your duty, whether you
succeeded or not in the purpose you
wished to accomplish, and this comfort
every one has who voted for Daniel in
the late election. In voting for him
the gallant representative of the honor
of Virginia-you did your duty to your
State and to yourself. You performed
the act of a patriot and well-wisher of
the honor and best interests of your
State. That you did not succeed was
not your fault, but the misfortune of the
State. You did your duty, and are free
from all blame, and all responsibility,
however disastrous the result may
prove.
"Honor and shame from no condition rise,,
Act aUeH yo,r part, there all the honor ies."
The Democrats who voted for Daniel
did their duty, and they are exonerated
from all blame, however disastrous the
result of the election may prove to be.
Though the State may be disgraced, no
blush of shame should mantle theil
cheek, except for the sake of Virginia
for they are free from the shame and
disgrace of dishonoring her. They
have been true and faithful to her hon
or, and have striven, with might anc
main, to protect her against her wors
and most insidious foes.
o Virginia, how could any of YOU
sons, born of your loins, be recreant tt
you in the hour of your necessity? How
could they unite with your worst enc
mics to cast opprobium upon your name
and fame?
We hope that they will have sufficien
virtue to repent in sackcloth and ashe
the grievous wrong they have done you
We earnestly hope that they have acte'
ignorantly and not willfully, and tina
they may be forgiven on the plea tina
they did not know what they were do
ing. "Father, forgive them, for the.
know not what they do"
That this is true of the majority o
Democratic Readjusters who vote
the Republican ticket we have n
doubt. They did not know that the.
were aiding the Republican party. I
they did, they are not Democrats, hu
Republican, and to treason to party i
added the deeper crime of hypocrisy.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1881-11-15
"What will they do With 1t -

Now that the Readjuster party, by
their alliance with the Republicans,
will soon have control of all the Depart
ments of the State Government, 1t will
be seen what they will do with the
State debt. Will they settle it. as they
have promised, or will their legislation
be of such a character as to keep it un-
settled for an indefinite time? They
have already, by their obstructive meas
ures, added greatly to the debt of Vir-
ginia, requiring her to pay six instead
of three per cent on a large portion of
the debt. Will their legislation be such
as to continpe this policy?
Will they make more favorable terms
with the creditors than the Democrats
would have done? Will the creditors
make any terms with them at all, or
will they now stand upon their legal
rights and demand strict compliance
with the contract, and rely upon the u.
S. Supreme Court for its enforcement :?
Will the Republicans aid in passing
laws which repudiate portion of the
debt without the consent of the credi-
tors? Can they afford to do it?
We do not believe they will, and be-
lieve that the Readjusters who voted in
the last election with the coalition par
ty, will find that they have been de-
ceived, and that all their hopes. like the
apples of the Dead Sea, will turn to
ashes on their lips.
The Democrats of this State have
nothing with which to reproach them
selves. They used their utmost efforts
in behalf of the honor and integrity OF
the State. If successful, they would
have settled the debt upon such terms
as would have been honorable, being
with the consent of the creditors land
at three per cent interest instead of six,
which could be paid without any in.
crease of taxation. The Democratic
,, party of this State is free from all stain
OF dishonor.
The disgrace of reputation does not
attach to its skirts. It did not achieve
but it deserved success.
It had a candidate for its highest
Office who was bold, honest and pure
!, and who made gallant fight in behal
of the honor and fame of his State, anC
it was no fault of his that the unholy
coalition succeeded, sustained as it wa:

Who "DIshonors the Homer of Virginia.

The Evening Call, published in
Charleston, Kanawha county, w. Va,
says:
1--WE know of some Virginians in this
city who feel like disowning their
mother State. If she dishOnOrs her
honor we do not blame them"
It should be borne in mind that it is
not the majority of the white people of
this State who "dishonors her honor"
but that it is the Republican party of
the State and the so-called Readjusters.
The Democrats of this State did what
they could to preserve the honor of the
State untarnished. The hands of the
Democrats of this State are clean, and
they should not be held responsible for
"dishonoring her honor" and don't
YOU forget it.n Let the odium rest

Scoville, brother-in-Iaw of the accused
is his leading counsel. and Mr. Leigh
Robinson has been assigned by the court
to assist in the defense. 1t is supposed
that the chief reliance of the defense
will be placed on the plea of hereditary
