III. Barbour.

The Gordonsvllc Gazette anticipating
the nomination Of Mr.. Barbour for Congress-
says:
Mr., Barbour certainly has greater facili-
ties for obtaining a full vote than any other
candidate who might be named, and his un-
firing devotion and energy, as displayed in
the last campaign, prove that he does not
rely upon the enthusiasm aroused by the Or
ators to elect him. His record in the last
session of Congress proves his real worth,
not only to his party but to the State and
country at large, and it is matter of con-
graduation that he was made member of
several of the most important committees.
over the claims of those who had long serv-
ed in Congress. Now that he has gained
experience by actual service, and as we are
about to place our banner in his grasp,
again to led TO certain victory, let us see to
II that no discredit shall attach to him or us
by this voluntary recognition of his superb
or claims. If he is we'll worthy of the NOM
ination, he is worthy of our support, and
his election by an increased majority will
be benefit to him in his important duties

Mr. Barbour's Speech.

In consequence Of the hurry in making
up the report Of the proceedings of the dem
ocratic Congressional convention yesterday
Mr.. Barbour's remarks were not fully re-
ported. Among other things he said:
Two years ago, when absent from the
State in the prosecution of business. he had
been entirely unexpectedly to himself NOM
mated to represent the district in Congress,
and now, without personal solicitation in
any direction, he had been renominataed.
He appreciated the honor more highly be-
cause thus far he was hardly warm in his
Congressional seat. and had not time to
make himself familiar with the duties of his
position.
He said the ambition of his life was to
make himself useful to his people and his
State. Interesting questions would come
up, or were already pending in Congress, in
which he claimed TO take deep interest as
practical man, and beyond all this the
Forty-Eighth Congress would include the
next Presidential election in and upon which
would be concentrated the hopes aud fears
of the entire country. He desired to take
his part in that drama. and. but for the facts
stated he would not have cared to continue
in public life.
1t had been charged that he was in favor
of high protective tariff. This was not so.
He had voted for the appointment of a COM
mission to report upon the existing tariff in
the interest of reduction of the present
high duties, because experience had mani
tested the difficulties in the way of direct
Congressional action on the subject even
when the Democratic party was in control.
While he favored the abolition of of the
whole internal revenue system of taxation
he was at the same time in favor of giving
all reasonable incidental protection to
American industries, and particularly to
snch as attached to his own district and to
Virginia.
With revenue as the object, he thought
that Congress had ample power over the
question, and that no constitutional scr1plr
would embarrass him i'll voting to protect
the material interests of Virginia within the
limits mentioned. He held the doctrine of
Andrew Jackson of Polk and Buchanan, 10
say nothing of the old Wing doctrine, and
which was based on the old adage that char
ity begins at home-a doctrine we'll under
stood by our northern friends

y WORD FOR THE MALIGNED REPORTER.

ton ofan epistle to the Detroit Free Press

IDENTIFY a Woman--for most of this slop work
is done by women-bewails the fact that re-
portcrs are not what they were thirty years
ago. when Raymond, Greeley, and Bayard
Tylor served thicr apprenticeship. The
truth is that no reporting worthy of the
name was done in those days. The local
news Of one Of the New York dailes before
the war was written by the city editor and
one assistant, where now force of thirty
men is not consiered too large The best
reporters in all the large cities of the cuun-
try to-day are better equipped for good lit
erary work than three-quarters of the liable
cditors' OF Il generation ago. They know
what news is, and when by much ingenuity
they have succeeded in getting the facts Of
n story they know equally well how to pre-
sent it in interesting style. To those whose
knowledge. of the business is purely theore-
teal this may seem an easy task, but any
one who has had the experience knows that
it takes more ability to make first class re-
porter than to turn out good lawyer. All
this talk about the decadence of reporting
by writer's who do hackwork which clever
reporter would Scorn, is rank nonsense

GENERAL PAYNE in his speech at the
democratic Congressional convention yes
terday said sit was not only his pleasure
but his duty to support Mr.. Massey" And
so will say every intelligent and right-think-
ing man, whether he be white or black, or
whether he be democrat, republican or re-
adjuster, who thoroughly understands the
circumstances of the case, and fully appre
ciates not merely the danger, but the inev
liable injury that would have resulted 10
every moral and material interest of the
State from the success of the schemes of
General Malone, and from which they only
escaped by the assistance rendered the dem
cratic members of the Legislature by Mr..
Massey's four readjuster friends in that
body. No matter what may have induced
them to render that assistance; ascribe their
action to the lowest conceivable motives,
Though that could hardly be when General
Malone at that time had not only Virginia
but the Administration in q sling and their
opposition promised anything else rather
than personal gain the fact that they rem
dered it alone preserved the State, and ell
titles them and their leader TO the everlast-
ing gratitude Of every man who has at heart
the prosperity and happiness Of Virginia.
But for them there would be no Congress
man at large to elect, and the ten Con-
gressional districts would have been so ar
ranged that only one, the Sth, would have
been properly represented, the others send
ing to Congress such men as Libby, Farr,
Hooper and Scott; and instead Of the pre-
sent respected judges of the circuit courts,
those courts. it is not unlikely to presume,
would have been presided over by such a
man as the Malone judge Of Franklin coun-
ty, who plays cards with lizard" and was
