From the Valley VSrgimian's report of
Pauls speech in Harrisonburg on Mon
day of last week, it seems that Paul is
very complimentary of Maj. John w.
Daniel and very denunciatory of Mr..
Massey. This is not at all surprising,
as he would greatly prefer Maj. Daniel
as the Democratic candidate to Mr..
Massey, whom his party has extrava>
gantly eulogized as the very best Audi
tor the State has ever had.

Hon. Abram Patterson.

This gentleman. who was elected to
Congress by the Readjusters, has writ
ten q letter defining his position, in
which he states that he is favor of main
tanning the Readjuster party as q "sep.
arate organization" from the Republi-
can and Democratic parties He says
that Malone proposes to carry the Re-
adjusters into the National Republican
party, and Massey proposes to carry
them into the National Democratic
party. and he opposes both propositions.
As all the Readjusters that Malone
and his leaders can influence will 60
into the Republican party, and those
they cannot 80 influence will act with
the Democratic party, Mr.. Fulkerson
will find himself very lonely in his eff.
forts to maintain the Readjuster party
as "a separate organization"
The Richmond Dispatch thus coun.
sells him:
,"Abandon that untenable position,
Mr.. Fulkerson. You cannot hold it.
The contests of this year involve the
succession to the presidency. This is
the real issue. General Malone and
his followers declare for Arthur, the
Stalwart Republican. Mr.. Massey de-
clares for the party Of his people-the
Democratic party. There is no place
for any other party. Surely you must
have learned ere now that there can be
but two great parties in this country al
one time. General MahOne's course

john 5. Wise.

In the graphic description written by
John g. Wise about a year since in
reference to the Republicans of Virginia,
he draws striking and faithful pic
ture Of himself. In that letter, in speak.
ing Of the Republicans of this State. he
said
"Not Republicans from principle, but
as a matter of trade and barter; men
a0itt0ut character and influence, apos.
tates for the price of their apostacy,
men In the community who would
starve without office, who became Re-
publicans for Office, and whose tenure
Of office not only added no strength to
their party but brought 1t into disrepute
and turned respect BILE men away from
it,"
Is he not an ''apostate for the price of
his apostacy2" Formerly Democrat,
he is now an avowed ffiend of the Stall
wart wing Of the Republican party, and
Is jealous advocate Of Arthur's admin
istration. He is nice man to reproach
the Republicans with apostacy for Of
flee. 1t is the Cry of "stop-thief' BY the
man who has committed the theft.

actually laying Garfield's death at the
door of his ply Ricians, is fair speci-
men of the character of debate that has
characterized the deliberations of that
body in its efforts to reach the medical
appropriation bill. While it is gen.
orally conceded fact that every adult
male end woman at the bedside is vi

spective physician than those who are
educated for the purpose, still we hardly
believed that there existed, even in Con-
gress, an individual SO abjectly wooden
headed as to assume the fact that a
man with such wound as Garfield had
through his body had only expired as
the result of the laundering stupidity
and incompetency of his physicians.
There exists some things in the manner
of the approach of some of the attend
ing physicians to the President which
lesson our sympathy for them, and
which, we trust, will make the unmer-
tied abuse they are receiving in some
degree salutary lesson, but, at the same
time, there is no shadow of justice in
the crusade of which they are the un-
deserving objects. A more obscure in.
dividual, but one whose anatomical
CONFORMATION and subordination to the
laws governing human life were the
same as Gen. Garfield's, would have
been expected to die, and the event
would have been cheerfully acquiesced
in, but because the President-elect was
shot at the beginning of his Executive
term, and by the foul impulse of a
wretched assassin, the hapless Doctors
have been required to reverse the de-
crees of God Almighty, to subvert the
principles of surgery, and to make rare
sport of every pathological condition in

Garfield and the Doctors.

While the country and Congress
unite with most edifying harmony in
lavishing upon the Garfield family more
money than that family, in its widest
conception of the future, ever dreamed
Of, they move with an equal pace In
lavishing the most intense, virulent.
unjustifed, and idiotic abuse on the
medical profession in general, and the
physicians, who in Gods providence
had the misfortune to be placed In at
tendance on the President, in particu-
lar. First, to show the unanimous and
deep sympathy of the people of the
country, Wall street sought in the only
standard by which that fraternity Is &C.
customed to measure things, both In
the spiritua! and natural world. to show
to the afflicted family the poignancy of
the popular grief, and at once sub
scription list was started. This sum
grew into large proportions, and when
the amount was collected and turned
over to the inconsolable widow, it
reached the very handsome sum OF a
half million dollars. Congress, gen.
orally niggardly as the meanest, and
dilatory beyond all tolerance in meet
ing honest public obligations to the in
dividual, with surprising readiness vo-
ted to Mrs. Garfield the full years
Presidential salary, amounting to $780,
600, and then Immediately placed her
on the Presidential widows pension
list, which gives her $1,000 more per
annum during her life. All these meas
ures were carried through with little OF
no controversy, and if any member Of
either House felt that the country was
verging on an excess of liberality, he
kept his mouth shut through the APP
prehension, that in the gushy and
emotional state which the mercuIial
American mind has been since the
assassination, he would be met with a
storm of denunciation. The sweet Sc.
senity of the public mind, however,
allowed itself to be promptly interrupted
whenever the physicians came in with
theirelaims for services, and though nc
exhorbitant or fancy" charges have
been presentad, and, in fact, no obtru:

Fishersvllle. The boys were seen, we under
stand by the engineer, but no thought was en-
tertained of their afflicted condition, and not
until it was too late to stop the tram was
danger apprehended. They were struck by
the engine, one of them receiving confusion
on tile head, from whichhe died the following
day, and the other had his right leg broken
above the ankle, and received other injuries
They were taken to Waynesboro' where they
were attended by Drs. Jones and Arbuckle and
DR.. Gibson, of this place was also summoned
to their side But medical skill could not save
the one, and could only give partial relief to
the other. One of the faculty of the Institu-

ment Of the matter:
1.-TWO little deaf-mute brothers, named Akers,
new pupils from Eranklinn county, ran away
Monday morning and were struck by train,
east of Fishersville, one being killed and the
other hurt. About ST o'clock, A. NJ, the boys

THE MARKETS.

There has been no marked change In the markets
since our last quotations. From all the centres of
trade the intelligence is that no advance In prices
can be looked for, reasonably. The close Of the
Egyptian war opens the channel of communication
with India, and that supply for the European mar
kets Will be available The surplus In this country
is larger than the probable demand will be, and
these facts force the conclusion that no improve
ment in quotations be looked for. The corn crop
is large, and Fall deliveries have been bargatned
for at 40 and so cents. With abundance In every
item Of farm products, there is nothing to justify
calculation for better prices than are now offered
