FAIRFAX &. f., August l6

To tie editor Of the 4isrnmd,ia Gazette:
If the friends of Mr.. Barbour are so GER
tain of his unanimous denomination, why is
it that the opposition in the Valley counties
is causing such tlntter among his support
ers? A recent visit to one of these counties
has satisfied the writer of what he has for a
long time believed: ~
That Mr.. Barbours great seeming popu-
larity was the result of his opponent weak
ness rather than his own strength.
That the people Of the Valley counties
think that justice is tardy in this, that the
remembrance promised her four years ago
by Fauquier's gallant and eloquent son,
which received the applause of the then en-
tire convention, is too long deferred and is
likely to be forever forgotten entirely.
That the Valley counties are almost unan-
imous in favor of her gifted orator. Holmes
Conrad, esq.
That the vote for Massey must be small
unless the candidate of the Sth district is a
man able to take the field in person, make
an active canvass and thereby arouse and
enthuse those who will otherwise remain at
home.
That the Valley counties claim and are
entitled to at least one term out of six in
the Congressional representation. The east
ern counties have occupied FIVE.
That Mr.. Barbour's nomination was Mr..
Neale's, and therefore, in this instance. the
custom of returning member for second
term would be more honored in the breach
than in its observance. Even here in Fair
fax there is no interest taken in the matter
no enthusiasm for Mr.. Barbour and little
and rery little activity on the part of the
Conrad men, who could send large pro-
portion Of the delegation in favor of new
man. The people of Fairfax are as much
opposed to railroad men in Congress as they
are to ministers of the Gospel as much op
posed to union of state and railroads as they
are to state and church. Mr. Conrad is good
true, able, eloquent: will do himself and his

PRESIDENTS ARE not unlike kings. in
some respects at least. John of France kept
his promise to Edward of England to return
as prisoner if he could not raise the money
with which to pay his ransom, rcmarking
that if good faith should be totally forgot
ten by the rest of mankind, it ought still to
find place in the breast of princes" But
his real motive for returning was the pas
sion he had conceived for the Countess Of
Salisbury, one Of the most beautiful women
Of that age. President Arthur told Mr.
Dezendori he had promised Gen. Malone
to turn Virginia republicans ont Of office
and give their places to democratic scala
wags, and that disagrecablc, IA it was, he
should keep that promise, for the word of
the President could not be broken" or
words to that effect. But the real motive
for keeping his promise and sacrificing his
political friends in this State is the vain
hope he has conceived that Gen, Malone
will be able to secure him the vote of Nir-
ginia in the next national republican con-
vention.

GENERAL MAHONE's Washington organ
says the General is ''the recognized repre-
sentative and leader Of "A majority of the
unite Nirginiuls.' The General said last
summer that he had hundred thousand
negroes from whom to get any majority he
wanted And yet with all these negroes
and his white supporters combined, he only
received one hundred and eleven thousand
votes at the November election, while the
democrats, without any negro support, poll
ed one hundred thousand votes. The year
before, when the negroes had a candidate of
their own to support, he only received thir-
~ thousand votes. But reckless assertions
are characteristic of the Malone organs.
The fact is the Generals support lies al
most exclusively with the negroes. He
hasn't fifty white supporters in this city,
even counting the republicans, and it Is
doubtful if he has that many i'll any county
in the State outside of the eth ard 9th dis
tricts. His partisans in Virginia, recklcssly
as they talk, have not the etfrontery to pre-
tend that majority Of the white people in
the State are favorable to him; that is left
for his organ outside Of Virginia

In the Lynchburg district the coaltionists
have nominated J. Henry Rives, Collector
of Internal Revenue, for Congress. Hon.
j. Ran. Tucker need have no fear ofre-elec-
ton now, and the chances are that Mr.
Rives. while being badly defeated, will
probably be r"bouncedn from his present
position. 1t is said that Wyatt NJ. Elliott
was the favorite Of the Boss for the nomina-
ton. 4 negro Eliottite named Merchant
bitterly denounced Rives as unfricndly to
the colored people, and said 4 petition signed
by more than one thousand voters was sent
to Washington asking for his removal as
collector of Lynchhurg. A telegram to the
Richmond Dispatch says: The nomination
was received with great disfavor by the
beaten delegates, rs well as by the multitude
OF negroes in attendance. 1t is beyond
question the weakest nomination that could
have been made, and in direct violation of
Mahone'S orders"
All accounts from the Richmond district
concur i'll the opinion that the nomination
| OF d. amber smith tor Congress was the
weakest that could have been made, and
that Wise;s majority will not be less than

Malone is very much disple;scd at Smiths
