his home near Fort Motto on Friday,
the 3Oth Of July, after lingering illness.
He was a gentleman of fine culture and
emincut social qualities, and was highly
esteemed by all who knew him. lie
leaves an interesting family whose be-
reavemcnt is surely a sad and heavy
one. The death Of Mr.. Darby is a
severe blow to the many friends he has
won by his excellent traits of character,
and loss to the community in which he
lived. lie was a member Of the class of
$50 Of the South Carollua College, and
served through the whole war as gallant
soldier in the HAMPTON Legion,

Choice Extracts from Coalition Speech.

On Monday of last week, whilst Judge
Christian and Gen. Fitz Lee were speaking
words of truth and sOberness" and wisdom
from the Democratic stand at one end of
the Court house in Harrisonburg, Robert ].
Walker, ofShenandoah, the principal speak
er of the Coalitionists on that occasion, was
speaking from the Coalitionist stand at the
other, and the following choice extracts
from his speech will serve to show what
kind of Readjuster Democrat he is. and
what the opinion he entertained OF his au-
dience: The Rockingham Register says:
''We are informed by a gentleman who
was present and took notes of the speech,
that Mr.. Walker said that when the Demo-
Gratis put up their Presidential ticket next
year, CHE INTENDED TO TAKE THE
OTHER ROAD, IF 1T LED TO IL,
BY G-Dp'
This is another sample sentence:
In referring again to the election for Pres
ident next year, he said: "IF I DON'T
VOTE FOR THE MAN RECOMMEND
ED BY THE READJUSTER PARTY,
CD On MY SOULr The above
language we say, was used by Mr.. Walk
er, we are informed by a gentleman who
heard his speech, and took extensive notes.
After Walker was done, Jacob Yost, of
Staunton, took the stand, but the crowd be-
came to small that he only spoke II minutes
by the watch, when he closed and the Rev.
Anderson Taylor, of Richmond, negro,
who spoke at great length in the Court
house on Saturday night, was put up, and
he harrangued for more than an hour, with
crowd of listeners composed Of about one
half blacks, and the other whites-the lat
ter vieing with their sable brethren in their
shouts of applause. 1t seems strange that
white people in Rockingham, who have, in
times gone by, claimed to be Democrats,
should thus stand and hurrah for not only
black Republican, but negro. Do they
feel compelled to look to such source for
their information? We want the people of
this county to think of these things, and act
upon them on the 9th day of November
next

An Intelligent Republican will vote for
the Democratic Ticket.

Mr.. J. NJ. Sicily, Ct this neighborhood,
an intelligent, sincere, and consistent Re
publican, publishes letter in the last Vsn-
dictator announcing his purpose, though no
less Republican than heretofore, to give
his vote, and what influence he has, to the
Democratic ticket. We regret that we have
not room for the whole letter giving his
reasons for the conclusion to which he has
arrived as to how he should vote in this
election. We give the following extracts
''We are on the eve of another exciting
State election. The Republican party of
Virginia as distinct organization no long
or practically exists Taking it for granted
that every man ought to exercise the right
of suffrage, the question is, how are Repub
licans to vote. 1t seems to me that every
true Republican can easily answer this ques-
ton. For, if our Democratic, with a hand
full of Republican, Readjusters, can longer
unblushingly hold every Office of honor and
of profit in the State, and if the Republican
voters can tamely put up with it, then of
course they will support the Coalition tick
ct.
But as an alliance entered into strictly
OHeuSlVe anu ueltHSIV0, QOuOC II Jn0 WOrlU
ever saw a more fragrant outrage against
every sense of honor and justice. And sup
pose that Malone still further succeeds in
disrupting and finally overthrowing the
Democratic party, will we, as Republicans
be any better OFF. If he has thus treated us
now while he is weak and can do nothing
without our assistance. what may we expect
of him when he shall be stronger and in no
need of our aid? Do rulers become more
lenient as they become more powerful"'
After stating that he perferred a faithful
foe to false friend, he said
81 shall therefore give my vote, and what
influence l have, to the Democratic ticket
In doing this, am no less Republican
now than l always have been. There is no
tolerably informed man who does not know
that the wealth and intelligence Of this
country belong to the Republican party
1t disdains encomium or panygerie. Its
achievements. whether in peace or war,
will stand out in all time to come among
the brightest on the page of history
His letter concludes as follows
evil any Republican continue to be the
suppliant tool of coalition which denies
him even decent recognition? and which
scorns to affiliate with him save only to get
his vote? Still again, and finally, if we are
ready to bow to the basest servitude are we
ready to stoop to the vilest insincerity?

come to know the man, and comprehend
his system of bossism and personal politics

great loss of life have been caused by
earthquakes on the peninsula between
