The Democracy of Boston cut very
amusing figure on the 22d Of February -
they assembled for the puopose ostensibly
of doing honor to the memory of Washing
ton. That of itself was a contradiction.
Washington never had any sympathy with
the ideas and policies Of the Democratic
party. These Boston Democrats have read
he political history of the country to littl
purpose if they have thereby been taught
that Jefferson ian Democracy, which they
endorse, and Hamiltonian Federal ism.
which Wash ington endorsed, are one and
the same thing. They were as different as
modern Democracy and modern Rtpub-
iicanisin. And Senator Bayard, in his let
Ter to the Boston Democrats, presumes just
as largely upon the ignorance OF The people.
when lie assumes that Washngton's politi-
cal principles and their Influence upon
our country and the sentiments and char
acter of its people are best represented b,
The principles of the Democrat ic party"
The veriest tyrO in politics knows that the
theory of our government as maintained
by ashington and Hamilton was in direcl
conflict with that asserted by Jefferson. and
chat the warnings Of the Farewell Adj
dress" were drawn out by apprehension>
of the practical operation of the state
Rights notions of Jefferson. Washington
foresaw what Jetfersonian Democracy
would lead to, and the present generation
know that this fear was well grounded. The
late war engulfed what the Bourbon Dem
ocrats and Mr. Bayard would resurrect.
MIR. Bayard in his letter to the Boston
Democrats goes out of his way to make a
fling at the forces which crushed out Bour-
bonism in Virginia and prates about the
stained honor OF Virginia by reason of that
result. Mr.. Bayard can stand shoulder to
shoulder with Vance, of North Carolina.
Brown and Hill, of Georgia, Jonas, OF
Louisiana, and Hampton and Butler. of
South Carolina, whose states deliberately,
and without decent pietence of an ex-
cuse, robbed their creditors, yet hurls his
anathemas at Malone and his constituency,
because they are identified with settle
ment Of Virginia's debt, viii ch equity will
sustain and defend.
This Boston demonstration was intended
as the formation point for the Democratic
campaign of 1884 When the notions ad-
vanced there by the speakers and letter
writers have been formulated into a cam
paign document, it will not take much Ia
Dor to expose their deception, and make
plain to the American people what modern
Democracy means.
Mr.. Bayard's reputation for political sa-
gacity and soundness has not been advanced
by his letter to his political associates in
Boston. 1t testifies that he is like all am
bilious aspirants. and takes to the weapons
| of demagogue just as dexterOusly as men
Of less repuGe and less pretension to politi.
cal perfection.

''The Democrats of Virginia have fought
good fight upon the issue of paying the
public debt. "-DiSpatch.
In 1877 the Democrats adopted a plat
form and elected the Governor upon it, de-
claring that there should be no increase of
the rate or aggregate of taxation. The
revenues derived from the rate of taxation
:hen existing, did not aggregate enough to
meet the demands upon the State, and con-
sequcntly there was a default In interest
and default in the school fund. In 1881
similar platform was adopted. II declared
that the debt ought to be paid, but refused
to make provisions to pay it. BY this poll
icy the debt was increasing every year by
reason of default in interest, and the school
fund was diverted by the operation of the
coupon. What kind of debt paying is it,
when known amount is necessary to dis
charge the Of Obligations of the State, and no
adequate provisions made to raise it? The
history of the Democratic party in con-
nection with this debt question has been a
history OF deception and false pretense. To
make the country believe it meant honesty,

bill equal to the requirements. OF the debt
When the proper time comes for exposing
the duplcity OF the Democratic party OF
Virginia on this question it will be done.
All this pretense about debt-paying is in
tended for the campaign of 1884. and Sena-
tor JohnsOn's recent publication in the
North american Revaew was designed to
make capital for that contest. It has not
ments and false deductions will be exposed
when the time comes for the practical con-
sideratiOn of the figures and facts adduced.
In Virginia, every one understands the
matter, without any discussion of it. Prop
er steps will be taken to have it understood
outside of Virginia. For the Democrats of
Virginia to pose in the role of debt-payers
is the merest bosh. They never intended
to pay the debt, for the reason when they
had the whole State government under
their control they refused to make provision
for paying it. But for the cowardice and
dupicity of that party, the debt question
would have been settled long ago.
"The disintegration of the Re-adjuster
party would be expected to follow logically
upon the accomplishment of it's mission, in
the passage ofthe Riddleberger bill and the
appointment of the Supreme Judges" is
what the Baltimore Sun thinks. In this GU r
contemporary is woefully mistaken. The
dominant party in Virginia will not disin-
tegrate so long as there is organized
Bonrbonism to fight. The protest of the
people last fail was more against the
Bourbon methods its prescription its in
tolerance-its repressions-and retroactive
mtluence-than against its dickering and
trucking on the debt question. The verdict
meant abidance by the spirit and intent
nf the laws and cOnstit ution of the country,
and the destruction OF the fOssilized poll
ticians and obstructive politics. Hereafter
Liberalism will be the political slogan in Vir-
ginia and tn IS means more than the Riddle
berger bill and the filling of few judicial
offices. Not only will there be no disinte-
grafton of the forces which achieved sue
cess in November last, but there will be a
more perfect and comprehensive crystalza-
ton, drawing to IFS support thousands who
through fear of defeat sustained the Bour-
boa cause on that occasion There is
popular misrepresentation of the mission of
the new party in Virginia. if it is supposed
that its life and existence is comprehended
in the debt question. Its mission is much
more far-reaching, and wisely governed.

A SQUARE FIGHT

Port Republic was one of the squarest fights
of the war. Shields had the advantage in
acting on the defensive, and he had every rea-
son to hope that Fremont would come up in
time to participate. Jackson had less artillery,
but his troops were neryed by the knowledge
that Fremont would be held, and that victo-
ry at Port Republic would clear the valleys.

A SINGULAR FACT.

Alter Jackson has passed Strasburg and was
on his way to Port Republic, Fremont fell in
behind him. 1t was known for fact that
Shields was Fastening up the Luray to reach
Port Republic first. There was plan TO get
HIM between the two armies. How could he /
say that he would defeat it? How could he
know that he was to check one army, whip the
other and clear the valleys of both? And yet

When Shields was cut of sight of the battle
field, Fremont came up. He had at last brushed
the Confederate fly from his path and reached
the river. Fremont was on one side-Jackson
on the other, and the long bridge spanning the
stream was on fire. If Fremont had fight in
him, he had come too late. Next morning he
began his retreat on that Mecca of Federal
to be heard of in the valleys no
more
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1882-03-09

If Shields had had two more regiments in
reserve behind his guns they could not have
been taken. When the Federals were driven
for the third time they were not dsheai tened
but wiped out. To recover his artillery the
Federal commander detached brigade from
his right. Weakened only by that much
Jackson could drive it. He OWNED where
other Generals had to grope. In the same
breath he ordered achievements to the men
center and left. From that moment the battle
Of Port Republic was decided.

DYING GAME.

Shields must have realized it, but he would
die game. With his own artillery pouring
death into his ranks, he shortened his lines
and for half ar hour held jackson with fire
OF musketry so hot that men advancing against
it were struck by five or six bullets at once
ground-foot by foot Jackson advanced-and
when there was no longer any hope, the Fed
eral army faced about tor the Luray and &C
knowledged its defeat. 1t was not a panic,
but Shields was routed. He was pushed for a
couple of miles and then left to pursue his way
towards the Potomac with only cavalry to
sting his rear-guards and keep him going.

witnesses were examined, and It was shown that
for lodgings on the night Of the 18th; that he had
not come from his grandmother's, &c A number
OF etNcepsions We're taken; the most important OF
Ofhcer Anderson as TO a confession of Shaw to the
effect that the witness held a conversation with
prisoner. Asked him who was with him? He said
t,co men; one by the name of Davis, whom he de-
scribed as tall, yellow man, with struggling
whiskers; the other was thickset black man.
He said the men came UP to him and his sister in
Uniontown. Davis came first and walked along
with his sister, and then the black man came
had any money. He SAID dyes yes; she usually
had when she went to her grandmother's
lie asked MIN II they robbed his sister
Il he (prisoner1 would say anything about it. He
said, "No." One OF the men then struck her with
stone; Davis knocked her down. They gave
him {prsoner) one dollar not to say anything
about it. One of them threw her basket into a
field, which one the witness did not remember
The prisoner did not say how she was struck but
both men were around. The witness then further
testified that Sergt McCathran and the man Davis
were in the jail at the time, and that McCathran
sometimes walked over to where witness and pris-
oner were conyerSng. Witness moreover swOre
that he offered no inducements nor threats to pris-
oner, but that he did not give him any warning
nor caution as to his conversation admissions.
The defendant claims that the court having ruled
out tn" evidence OF Lieut. Boteler, who had said to
the prisoner "There is no use OF denying 1t, ace
have got it fixed" the evidence OF Anderson was
also fnadmSSibe, as he was under the orders OF
Boteler; that II a statement is obtained by undue
means any statement afterwards made under in
huence OF that confession cannot be admitted.
The court to-day affirmed the judgment below,
and Shaw will most likely be hanged at the date
specified.

Turson Versus Snumaers,
Mr.. aAuHnRRS, AMaNRR.

The bill in equity filed by James K Turton
against L. N. Saunders, noticed in last evenings
STAR, Is answered by Mr.. Saunders to this effect:
He says that he will show to the court on exam
ination OF his accounts as assignee OF Mr. Turton
that at the time OF said assignment to him Mr..
Turton was hopelessly. bankrupt; that every piece
on 6 p.oPersy standing In MS name was morsgaged
against him to the amount OF $4,000 or more, and
that on the morning OF the day the assignment
was made the United States marshal's flag was
flying In front Of his most valuable property "a
lease-hold) on 18th and 18th streets, portion OF
which had been sold before his arrival on the
ground. MI: Saunders says he stopped the sale
and avoided further sacrifice of his interests,
and by 1udlcious and careful management OF his
analrs since has saved to him his most valuable
property, and Is now willing and ready to turn 1t
over, together with all Cancelled judgments and
other obligations, on final settlement. The only
question involved Is one of compensation for ser
vices rendered, and Mr.. Saunders is confident that
he can snow to the court that his account is cor.
rect and his charges fair and equitable.
