NOT FOR LYNCHBuRG.

To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN!
A bill has already passed the United States
House of Representatives u. r. Tucker patron) APP
propriating, in round numbers the sum of 500 900
for the erection Of public buildings at Lynchburg
Va. This bill, 1t is to be hoped, will be amended
in the Senate, and Roanoke city Roanoke County,
Virginia, or Salem, Roanoke County, Virginia, in
serted place of Lynchburg, Va. For this change
the following reasons are assigned:
First-There are now four places in this district
where regular sessions of the United States Dis.
trct Court for the Western District of Virginia are
held, to wit: Harrisonburg, DanYile Lynchburg,
and Abingdon. Roanoke City or Salem (they
being only six miles apart are about equidlstant
from Danville, Abingdon, and Harrisonburg 10
wit About 1870 miles from Abingdon, about l25
miles from Dnnville, and about 100 miles from
Harrisonburg.
sccond-Either Roanoke City or Salem are as
acceptable to the travelling public MS Lynchburg,
both being ON the line Of the great Norfolk and
Western Railroad, while the shenandoah Valley
Road intersects and crosses the former ut Roanoke
Third--The counties of Rockbridge Botetour',
Craig, Montgomery, franklin, Roanoke, Giles,
and Bedford, with an aggregate population in cx.
easier to the court than they now are while
only Amherst, buckingham Appomattox, and
lation less than $4,000, would be further removed
Albemu rle and Nelson Counties should be assigned
to Harrisonburg, and Cumberland County to Dan
vile.
Fonrth-The change suggested would reduce the
expenses OF litigans to said court, and also the
mileage fees of officials.
Fifth--The uncalled- for and slauderous assaults
of n sore-headed, disappointed and venal Bourbon
| press upon Republican gentlemen called to Lynch
burg in the discharge OF either public or private
business deserves this rebule at the hands of their
! friends in Congress. TO such an extent has this
low, petty, cOwardly malice been manifested that
| prominent gentlemen of Republican antecedents
have often told your correspondent that they
visit the place when they can avoid it, proerring
to go further at greater expense than come In CON

authorities are concerned Bishop Plnkney, be-

autograph letter: I" In tho case of thecontroversy
in 81. Luke's Church, in the city of Washington,
d. c., summoned the standing committee rs my
council Of advice, who, after having considered
the evidence laid before me, which was all the
evidence in my possession, unanimously reached
the conclusion that said evidence has not con-
WINGED them that the Interests OF clergy and the
prosperity of ST. Luke's Church would not be
pyomoted by the dissolution OF the pastoral rcla.

this case" This Is virtual decision of the whole
matter in favor OF the Rev. Or, Crummell, and the
greater and better part of the congregation are
thoroughly pleased with the result.

AS to the Federal and State offices in
Virginia, it is an undeniabe fact that to-
day there are more white Republicans
holding office in Virginia than ever be-
fore. AS to the Federal Presidential APP
pointments, only eight of Importance
have been made in the State since Gen
eral Malone has taken his seat in the
Senate. -Four of these are well-known
and Jealous Republicans, viz Rue,
postmaster at Norfolk Pattie, postmas-
ter ut Warrenton; d. S. Lewis, district
attorney of the western district, and r.
p Hughes, marshal of the eastern dis
trict. The remaining four are General
Boiling, Liberal, postmaster at Peters
burg, in place off Bourbon Democrat, who
held the Office for four years under
Hayes administration; Captain Stat
ham, another Liberal, who, upon the
recommendation of Judge Rives and
other leading Republicans, and at the
request of fully nine-tenths of the col
ored voters of Lynchburg, was appointed
postmaster of that city; Captain John
S. Wise, district attorney at Rich
mond, and Watts, marshal of the
eastern district of Virginia, who was
strongly Endorsed for the position by
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Lewis and other
Republicans of influence in the State.
Let us see what General Malone and
his supporters have done for RepubH-
cans under the State government.
One of the judges of the new Court of
Appeals is Republican. The important
office of second auditor is held by Re-
publican. The judge-eect of the Hust-
ings Court of Richmond, the most inn
portant corporation court in the State, is
Republican. The judge of the Lynch
burg corporation court is a Republican.
Sixteen county judges are Republicans,
number of circuit judges are Republi-
cans, about dozen school superintend-
ents ale Republicans-not to mention
other lesser appointments of Republicans
in every section of the State-and all this
for the white Republican element of the
State

MISS PARNELL
writes n Letter Relative to the Irish As.
snRsinntIOn.

To the editor Of the New York sun:
SIR: II Is my hope, nay, 1t is my belief, that II
will be found that no Irish hand was concerned in
the murder of the two innocent men who persisted
in Ireland last Saturday. The deed could only
have emnnHtcd from persons who felt an equal
hatred to Mr. Gladstone and to Mr. PaInel TO the
present government IN England and to the Land
League Only two classes of persons fill this bill
One is the Irish Tory landlords; the other is an
extremely small section of Irish Nihilists, using
the term NihiliSt in its worst sense, as meaning
the political assassin.
THE CRIME, HOWEVER,
was so un-Irlsh in the manner of its execution
that cannot believe the last-named class was
guilty fit 1t no wonder though, that the guilt
should be imputed TO Irish.Americans by people
who are not behind the scenes" Whoever reads
the pages ofthe United IriShDdn published in this
country, would think, If stranger, that Irish
Americans were capable of all the fOuest crimes
under the sun. We, who live here, know that the
bark of these advocates ofpoltica assassination is
worse than their bite; we know that the owner of
this particular paper has been driven to frenzy by
the utroclous cruelties practiced on him
by HIS BRITISH JAILRRs,
and that writing and talking are the only means
he has by which to vent his but too natural ami
mostly; we know that he does England no real
harm-that England has nothing to fear from him
or his party. Unfortunately 1t is to Ireland that
he does the harm. 1t is our sacred national cause
that suffers from him and the rest of his irrespon-
sblc friends. In the name of that cause, entreRt
Irish Americans no longer TO daily with this evil
thing Crime is crime, and there is never any
good to be expected from It, We Irish are no as.
sassins, and IL Is time that we should no longer
allow any would-be Nihilis's, OH paper, to tnke
remain, yours faithfully, FANNY PARNELL.

Mr.. Dezendorf appears to be perplexed
us to how Administration members of
Congress can differ from Republicans, and
says
1t is for the Republicans of the North to say
whether they will stand by those who are now and
always have been Republicans from principle, and
gain as many more as they cen, or whether they
will abandon their old and tried friends to take the
chance of making others.
No, Mr.. Dezendorf, in this you are
mistaken. This is not the question. 1t
is rather for the Republicans of the
North to say whether sure Republican
minority is better in Virginia than a
sure anti-Bourbon majority, made up of
men who indorse what Malone has said
and done in the United States Senate.
1t is for the Republicans of the North to
say whether they will stand by the vast
majority of Virginia Republicans who
stand by General Malone and the CO.
alition majority in the State, or whether
they will abandon them to satisfy small
minority of Republicans, who have been
so unfortunate as to get left by the car
of Progress.
The black rioters 1UiN not desert General
Malone at any bidding. The Republic
cans of the North, so confidently APP
pealed to by Mr. Dezendorf voted in
favor Of negro suffrage, and thereby made
the negro doubly hateful to his old enemy,
but they were unable to protect him in
the exercise of his right to vote, and
found him counted only to swell the
number of hostile representatives against
whom he could not vote. 1t was Gen
eral Malone and his ex-confederate
friends who made pathway for the ne
gro to the ballot-boX, and, by protecting
him in voting secured his cooperation
with them in a Liberal party, to which
both gratitude and self-interest will
surely cause him to adhere. The blacks
of Virginia remember that no Republi-
can leaders called them to vote at all in
1877, although governor was then
chosen. They know that those who are
now and always have been Republicans
from principle" We're unable TO prevent
the odious capitation tax as a prerequisite
for voting from being imposed on them
that their backs were barred to the lash
for petty crimes, of which they could be
convicted on slender and insufficient
evidence, and that Acknowledgement fol-
lowed this barbarity; that the schools
were closed by diversion of the school
fund, and that they had no
rights which any Bourbon Funder
felt bound to respect. Lincoln
liberated them, Grant guarded them,
and the Republican party gave them the
legal right TO vote; but Malone vitulized
that right, with the aid of men who con-
quered their prejudices in order to do so,
and now the ballot is as free in Virginia
as in Vermont. To break up this coali-
ton so honorably formed, so beneficial to
both races, and so honest in the perform
ance Of its pledges would be impossible.
Enough Republicans might withdraw
from it to make the Bourbons hope
full, but the main body of the
blacks will not separate from the truest
and bravest friends they have ever seen,
No, Mr., Dezendorf This is not a per-
sonal matter. The writer of this would
