We have only to look at the record OF
the last Congress to find who are ouI
friends at the North, and who are ready
to stand up for US when our rights are
in danger. In fact. the single case
of Snazls u.s. Isllaaan is conclusive on
this point, for, while northern Demo.

Smalls, every northern Republican ex-
cept Calkins, of Indiana, chairman OF
the House Elections Committee, voted
to give him Tillman's seat, as did John
Paul, of Virginia. And who is Smalls
Why, a negro convict, who. only es-
capped the penitentiary by the clemency
of South Carolina Governor. And
who is Tillman. whom Paul and the
Republicans ousted to give seat and a
vote to the negro convict? A gallant

elected to Congress by 5000 majority.

How ATTENTIVE PAUL WAS.-The
Rockingham Register says:
"Mr. Paul claims to have been q very
attentive member upon the session Of
the last Congress. He sOds very atten-
tive. Out of TWO HUNDRED AND
TWENTY FOUR ROLL CALLS, this care
full watcher of the peoples interests was
absent SEVENTY FOUR TIMES. He was
not absent, however, when the roll was
called upon the contested election cases,
where Democrats were 70 be turned out
and negro penitentiary convicts put in
their stead. He was not absent when
the vote was taken upon the election Of
q Speaker, but was on hand and
promptly voted for Kiefer, the Stalwart
Radical from Ohio, who favored the in
famous Force Bill. which contemplated
the confiscation of all the property of
the Southern people, and against that
gallant Democratic statesman, Samuel
J. Randall, to whom, more than any
other man in the whole United States,
this damnable measure owed Its defeat.
He was not absent when the vote was
taken upon the election of door keeper
of the House of Representatives, but
came up, upon has conscience, we sup
pose, (?) and voted for son Of that vile
traducer of the South and her people,
Parson Brownlow, of Tennessee, against
Gen. Field, gallant Confederate sol
der. Brownlow, the man whom Mr..
Paul voted for, was not only son of
Parson Brownlow, but was an officer In
the Yankee army, although he was born
in the South, having turned his back
upon his own section and kindred, and
taken up arms to help shoot down the
brave Southern boys who felt called
upon to defend their homes and fire.
sides. In other words, Mr.. Paul was
always on hand when he had a chance
to cast vote against Democracy and
the Southern people, but 'a0os not thar"
when measures of relief for our tax
cursed and tax ridden Southland were
proposed by the Democracy. But then
he did it all for conscience sake, and
Paul is an honorable (?) man ~

THE RICHMOND MEDICAL COLLEGE
CAsE.-We stated last week that the
Governor had appointed new Board of
Visitors of this Institution, and that the
old Board had resisted this exercise of
assumed authority on the ground that
whilst the Governor had the right to fill
vacancies, he did not have the right to
create them, by vacating the Board and
appointing another in its place.
In the opinion of the Attorney Gen.
eral Blair, sustaining the action of the
Governor, he says
"Unless the appointing power is re-
stricted to a removal for cause that that
appointing power has the right of re-
moval within its sound legal discre-
tion"
Upon this clause, the Lynchburg Iir.
giniom comments as follows:-
"In other words: if the Legislature
has not invested the Governor with
the power to remove "for cause" ergo,
it follows that he can remove Without
cause, 4. e., in the exercise of his ''sound
legal discretion" Did anybody ever
hear such nonsense as that put forth by
the law officer of a>great State! Why,
any pettifogger at cross roads, should
have more sense than to advance such
an opinion as that. It is monstrous. It
is ridiculous. 1t is burlesque upon the
noble science of the law, and will sink
our Attorney-Gereral into still greater
contempt"

REGIsTRATIoN.-If you wish to vote
it is absolutely essential that you should
register, so do it at once. It is also very
necessary that all who have not gotten
transfers from their voting precincts
should secure them at once by making
application to the registrar of the pre-
cincts at which they voted, and enclos-
ing a three. cent stamp for its return.
Registrars do not furnish stamps, and if
stamps are not furnished the registrar
is not bound to send transfers. In cities
Of five thousand inhabitants transfers
must be obtained on or before the day
of registration (Which is ten days prior
to any election,) but in smaller towns
transfers can be secured up to the day
of election, and the holder thereof can
vote on its presentation at the polls to
which he is transferred, provided he has
conformed to other requirements. A
legal voter is one who has been a resi-

of one dollar, and has not been adjudg-

Our Fair.

In the midst of the present agitated
condition of politics, let not our people
forget the annual exhibition of the
baldwin Augusta Fair" which will
take place on the 18th, 18th, 10th. and
Goth days of this month. All must
come, without reference to politics
Democrat, Readjuster, and Republican
for all should be equally interested in
the success of this annual exhibition of
agricultural and mechanical produc-
tions, which does so much to enlighten
our people upon their industries. But
to render it success, you must not only
come yourselves, but must also bring
your exhibits, that you may not only
see what other people have been doing,
but that they may also see what you
have accomplished in your particular
line of industry.
The officers of the Fair are doing ev-
erything in their power to render it
more successful than any former exhi-
bition; but they can accomplish but
little without the aid and assistance
which you can give them by bringing
in your exhibits and making your en-
tries.
Read the attractions set forth in the
advertisement and make your arrange
ments now, so as to be present with
your families.
As the Lynchburg advance well says
upon similar subject, "let US de-
termine, then, to have good Fair; a
big turnout of people and big display
of our industries. Let the ladies lend
their assistance. Without them we
can DO nothing. With them we can
achieve anything, everything. We beg

great success in this important and en-
joyabIe reunion of farmers, merchants,
mechanics; to say nothing of such side
