MIR. McClure's Answer.

In his letter from New Orleans 10 his
paper, the Philadelphia Times, Mr. Nc.
Clure addresses the following in reply
to certain papers which assailed his
Richmond letters:
A WORD ABOUT VIRGINIA.
/ notice that the Richmond Wing, the
Washington Republican and Mr. James
r. Young's Washington letter to the
Star criticise my Richmond lei teIs on
Virginia Republication as unjust to Sena-
tor Malone and his reputation party.
1t should be known to the readers OF the
Times that do not own a single south
ern bond that I do not know of sin
gle individual in the country who owns
any such bonds that [ never had any
interest, direct or contingent, in south
arn securities, and that no person has
ever so much as suggested to me the
agitation of southern credit. 1t is a
public question that directly affects all
financial circles in the North aud that
affects, also, the general honor and pros
perity of the nation, and as such / dis
cuss 1t as intelligentiy as l can, without
knowing or caring who may profit by
it. 1t should be known, also, to the
readers of the Times, from what parts
cular standpoint these journals uues-
ton my statements. The Richmond
Wing is owned by Senator Malone, and
in its criticism he was merely attempt
ing to excuse himself by grossly misre
presenting me. The Washington Re
publican is edited by Mr.. Gorham, who
is earnestly seeking, and confidently
expects to get, Senator Mahone's vote
to elect him Secretary of the Senate. If
I had a vote on that issue instead of
Senator Malone, and was regarded by
Mr. GOrham as commercial in politics
as he regards Malone, the Republican
would have enthusiastically commend-
ed all l said about Virginia credit,
whether true or false. MIR. James 4.
Young's letter to the Star is small crop
of the hair of the Gorham dog. He
wants to return to the Senate as Execu>
tive Clerk, and he must have Mahone's
vote to get there. 1t is very natural that
he Just now reads Virginia politics
through Malone spectacles. Whether
the South shall give Garfield's admins
tratiOn fair trial or not may be OF little
moment to dependents like Gorham and
Young, who must have MabOne's vote
to get into place, but it is a matter of
much moment to the coming President
and of supreme moment to the peace and
business prosperity to the people; and
as my letters happened to overlook the
personal interest of Washington place
hunters to discuss the general interests
of the whole country, have innocent
ly offended those who are ready to sacri
flee the truth to flatter Republication when
that is the way to office.

The Northern Republican journals
seem exceedingly anxious to divide the
respectable white vote of the South,
and assume. without know edge or rea-
son. that this would result; i'll divis-
ion of the colored vote, which would
Thus be divided between Democrats and
Republicans. And this, to, with the
recent example of Virginia and Ten
nesse. before them. In Doth of these
States. the whites divided on the ques.
ton of State indebtedness, and voted
| for different candidates, While the COL
ored voters stood to theii party, elect
ing their candidate fol Governor in
| Tennessee, and coming nearer to car
rying this State for the Republican cam
didates than they ever d d before. This
proves that the negro viii. as Mr.. Sum-
ner said to Stanton, ''sti,k, "and should
serve as an admonitiol to the white
people of Virginia, and other States of
the South, to stand together for their
own protection and ths cause of good
government. The Moth may remain
solid, if it will, for the Republican par
ty. and control the affairs of the Nation,
I'VE spell it with q big in Difference to
Republican sentiment) but that need
not trouble US, so long as we preserve
control of our State governments, and,
in spirit of wisdom and moderation,
administer our domestic affairs with
reference to the best interests of all
classes, races, and conditions among us.

POWER OF THE Pr Ess.-[ New York
Herald. 1-Guiding Jublic opinion by
following the tide Unpopular will and
pointing out the shOlls and quicksands
in the path of the people, the daily news
peper is a voice thatcan never be silenc-
ed so long as its u4erances are wise,
thoughtful and pathetic. 1t has been
recently and shrevdly said that the
stump "orator was 40 longer power in
American politics, because the newspa-
per has usurped hi functions and ad-
dresses a wider ane more attentive audi
ence. The writer word sinks deeper
into the heart thar the spoken one, con-
sequently its influence is the greater and
more lasting. w, agree with Mr.::Coll-
yer in his views a)Out the high mission
of the press, TO- it would be mock
modesty in journalists to pretend ignor-
ance of this fact. The more need, there
fore, that we sholld strive to carry out
that mission in away to rebound to our
honor and the w,lfare of the nation.
THE POLL TAx.-We are of those
WHO prefer that 5he law in regard to the
capitatiOn tax hould remain as it is,
unless some otter plan can be devised
to put the sameamOunt of money that
system does int the public school fund.
One hundred thousand of the two hun
bred and twelve thousand dollars, the
number of volts cast at the recent cleo
ton, at least, would have never been
passed to the c'edit of the public schools
but for that law. The one hundred
thousand probably never pay cent of
taxes, and We; without that provision
in the Constitution, would vote upon
the rate of axation put upon those
who do pay taxes. Eight and one
third cents month is all it requires, |
and, it is psor citizen, indeed, who is
not willing pay that towards the ed
ucation of tie children Of the country.

POLITICAL SPECULATIONS-REP
LICAN OFFICE HOLDERS. WASH
ington Correspondent of The State, un-
der date of January the 1st, writes as
follows -
Leisure hours of yesterday spent
among the politicians developed some
points of local interest in Virginia, de-
rived from Republican sources. 1t is
understood that Judge r. w. Hughes
will have cordial and strong backing for
appointment to one of the proposed ad-
preme Court of the United States, and
creating them, President Hayes will be
pretty sure to honor Judge Hughes
Again, it comes with positive assn.
ton in Virginia so thoroughly demon
strated Gen: Wickham's sagacity as a
political leader that his position as the
ablest Republican leader in Virginia
will certainly be recognized by Presi-
place in the Cabinet, or at least by an
appointment justified by his political
and social standing. Again, that next
week the offices of the postmaster and
collector of customs at Richmond will
be q hundred times hotter for their pre-
sent chief occupants than this week 8
weather would indicate. 1t is said that
younger and more vigorous Republic
cans have placed dynamite under Mills
and Gilmer, and when the smoke clears
away Splitter and Pelouze may. gather
the reward of their labors and sacrifices
during the presidential campaign"

SUDDEN DEATH.-On Monday last

old, was found in a speeches. condition

A GRATEFUL TRAMP.-On Christmas
Day fOrlorn looking tramp made his
appearance in Harrisonburg. and pre-,
scented himself at James Kavanaugh's
and asked for food and lodging, and as
Mr. kavanaugh never turns man away
when he thinks he is needy, he was as
signod room and given a square meal.
The room which he was given had been
occupied the night previous by some
person who, through neglect or other
wise, had left bis overcoat, good sub
stantial one, in the room, and Mr..
Tramp, thinking thatihe would add to
his comfort by appropriating it, put it
on and walked off without asking any
questions. He was soon missed, and
similarly the coat. and policeman Brath-
waite put upon the IookoulIfor him, a d
who brought him in, coat and all. He
was tried before his Honor Mayer
Strayer on Monday, and ordered to be
given 10 lashes, and instructed to "Foid
his tent like the Arab, and silently steal
away" The trial developed the fact
that his name WIS Harrison Love, and
his home Missouri.
