OUR TAzEwELL LETTER.
NpEpENnENcEl

Good! Pity the man who has no
independence, in any relation OF hu-
man energizing, and especially in
journalism. If there ever was a
period in the history of our State
when the press should be independ-
ent, that time is now Give US more
of it, and we will be more prosperous
as a people.
SLAVERY;
in the abstract, is written on that
man, party or State that is under
patronage domination. Independ-
ence in the press is freedom to ex-
pose the crookedness of all parties,
and the privilege to get out of the
rutS of a century. More than this
means new life, energy, enterprise.
Fogyism = enterprise in the gar
ments of half century ago is ev-
erywhere patent in our State; a
fogyism parolytic In character
that strikes at progress, develop
ment. No where more manifest
than in our "public school system !"
the indifference to the development
of our mental and varied natural
resources and others might men,
ton. Don't be afraid. Reformers
must have more or less of the daring
the reckless-the venture. Be
sure your views of reform are cor
rect, then more. --.

The d" AbominatiOn"

" Abolish the internal-revcnue abomina-
tion," says the New York Sun, speaking no
doubt for the Democracy of the Empire
State. Yes, away with it. 1t is IN "abomi-
nation" indeed. 1t is really amazing that
the people should have submitted to its
exactions so long when they had it in their
power by their votes to abolish it.
"Away with the internal-revenuc abomi-
nation" The Republicans had control Of
Congress at its last session, but failed to
relieve the taxpayers. Nay, more: their
President declared for the continuance Of
the system; their Internal-Rcvcnue Com
missioner did the same thing; and, worse
than all, the Republicans Of Congress, in
caucus assembled, resolved, binding its
members by caucus action, to vote as a
body for continuing the internal taxes.
Relief can come only from the Demo-
cratic party acting as body against the
abomination." All Democrats in the
North have not hitherto favored the repeal
OF the internal taxes; but we have reason
to hope that, like the New York San, they
will soon see ''the abomination" as it is.
and join their brethren of Virginia in
claiming that tobacco shall be as free from
taxes as hay, corn, wheat, and oats.

Federal Supervisors.
The Warrenton Inder saws /:

The arrentOn lRueL says:
"The Richmond Dispatch, for whose
Judgment we have the highest respect,
urges that application be made for Federal
supervisors OF election wherever we'll
grounded suspicion exists OF foul play.
The law contemplates an equal number OF
supervisors from each party, and not APP
pointees Of one party only, as in this
county in the last presidential election.
We confess we do not like the machinery.
1t Is cumbersome, TO say nothing OF its eX-
pense to the Government. There may be
authority for the act OF Congress in the
Constitution, but the necessity for IT is q
sad commentary on the honesty Of judges
OF election. The Democrats were defraud-
ed Of twenty-odd votes ut Warrenton pre-
cinct at the Governors election; but there
has been change OF judges here, and il Is
believed the fraud will not he repeated"
We value highly the good opinion Of the
Inder, and regret its doubts as to the pro-
priety Of recommending Democrats to be
appointed supervisors Of elections by the
United States Circuit Court. Let us state
the case once more.
First, the law provides for the appoint
ment OF supervisors upon the application
OF two reputable men in the cities, and Of
ten such in the country or in any city con-
tanning less than twenty thousand in
habitants. 1t is, therefore, not for the
Democrats TO say whether supervisors shall
be appointed or not. The two or the ten
men may all be OF one party. But the law
requires that when appointed the super
visors shall be two at a voting-placc and Of
different political parties. All we ask you
to do is to recommend the men who are to
represent the Democratic party. No; not
all, for in some cases you ought yourselves
to apply for supervisors. Isn't that reason
abley
Secondly, the supervisors cost the Gov
eminent nothing except in cities OF over
twenty thousand Inhabitants.
Thirdly, we opposed the passage of the
law with might and main. But it is the
law. The question is, Shall we suffer all
the evils Of the law and receive none OF It's
benefits?
Fourthly, in this city and district we
have for years had supervisors ap.
pointed to watch the congressional elec-
lions.
Filthy. no such supervisors can be ap-
pointed TO serve in elections for State. city.
and county officers.
sixthly, in order to have the law repealed
1t Is necessary to have Democratic Con-
gress. In order TO have Democratic Con-
\ gress it is, we fear, necessary to have Fede-
y raj supervisors appointed.
ii is not that we are afraid OF frauds
everywhere. We again repeat that almost
all the Judges OF elections will make fair
returns.
But the Z" last feather breaks the cameps
back" The one dishonest election-ofilcer
may break the back OF MASSEY, or TUCKER.
or BARBOUR, or O'FERRALL, or MARSHALL.
or GEORGE WISE, or CABELL, or GARRISON.
or REESE, or FULKERsoN, or NEwBERRY.

W. j. s. Bore, Esq:
Dear Shiny name, as YOU know, was
used by cOlored VirginianS for the Office OF
congressman at large to curb and rcbukc
the insolcnt and ungrateful attempt Of
those who have been raised to prominence
and power by colOrcd voters, but who used
such prominence in prohibiting rcaSOna-
bic representation TO the cOl0rcd element
on account OF color. Our people were de-
termincd then, as they are now, that men
who had been beaten in their own
party, and denied the right 10 control

glorious agencies, and by the use OF Fcdc-
raj patronage and money taken from the
public treasury in broad daylight. put
their feet upon the hearts OF cOlorcd men
who are, though humble and poor, no less
sensitive to the heel OF oppression and
wrong. Your committee, made by the en-
tire race in convention assembled, used my
name in connection with this same office,
and perhaps with the same motive de-
scribcd above.
We are now confronted with compiled
tons of grave and serious nature, which
should he met lace to face. ! sound the
alarm that the movement originally inaugu-
rateQ ny tnc cOlOItu ptoplt vi ilc 'tttc
for their own relief as well rs for the good
OF all, is now turned TO base and selfish
purposes by men already caught in the
meshes of national politics, and that
the peoples liberties are already sold
to those who feed on the blood OF
freemen and on the freeman's woes.
This attempt is an Insult TO true
men, and unbessed of God. Alexandria,
county has endorsed Mr.. John VI. Daw-
son for congressman at large. This
county-my own-haS chosen me for Con-
greSs from the Eighth district. This voice
must obey. cannot stand for Office in
the State and lose my own county. A man
should first square himself at home. |
shall therefore support Mr.. Dawson, and
shall canvass my district so far as | am able.
| shall be pleased to meet any gentleman
in any part OF the State. and discuss before
the people the views here advanced. | am
anxious to meet my friend Mr.. John NJ.
Langston and have him tell what he h1Olcs
about Virginia politics. | shall try to sup
port the sentiments herein advanced.
thank you for the kindly considerations
of your committee. Faithfully yours,
