The Eall-Trade Outlook.

The preparations of our wholesale mer-
chants, jobbers. and manufacturers for a
large fall trade have been more than justi-
fed by the manner in which trade has
opened. In those branches OF business for
which the season has commenced the orders
make a most satisfactory exhibit as COM
pared with this time last year, and in all
other branches the outlook is encouraging.
It is true that the drought has made the
orders from some sections little slow, but
this is more than counterbalanced by the
increase OF trade with other territory.
II 10 also gratifying TO note that the wis.
dom of our merchants and mercantile or
carnations in endeavorirg to extend the
trade of Richmond further south and west
each year has been substantially recognized.
The idea that the trade Of certain sections
would 30 north OF us, in spite OF the fact
that we can compete with northern trade
centres in prices and shipping facilities,
has been pretty e1ectually dissipated by
the enterprise OF some Of our leading
houses. Wherever 4 determined effort has
been made TO secure the trade OF q section
of country to which Richmond offered
equal advantages with other cities, such
effort has been rewarded. This is particu-
larry noticeable with respect to the trade
with South Carolina and Georgia. and
prc .es that il is only necessary to properly
represent our city in order 10 make her
as commercial and manufacturing centre
all that the most sangune claim for
her. As we have intimated, much
has been accomplished in the lat
ter direction, but much still remains to
be accomplished; and it is not out OF place
here TO press upon the attention OF our
merchants and manufacturers the opportu-
nity the next exhibition Of the State Agri-
cultural Society will present for giving an
impetus to the work. They cannot adycr-
tise Richmond better than by heartily CO.
operating with the authorities OF the So
ciety in the effort TO carry out their pro-
posed programme to the letter.
A third gratifying point to be noted is
that the country merchants are meeting
their obligations remarkably well; the
minimum number OF extensions are being
asked and even where extensions are
asked owing to the drought and crop fall
ures, it is expected that they will be pretty
generally covered in the October settle.
ments. The fact is that the South is in
better financial condition, and her trade is
on sounder and more conservative basis,
than for some time.

What a Canyasser Learned I'm ana of
Richmond.

TO the Editor of the Dispatch:
Extensively acquainted in the city OF
Richmond, and having recently canyassed
il in behalf OF the Democratic Campaign,
nv opportunities for knowing the political
sentiments and disposition of its people are
perhaps unsurpassed by those OF any other
citizen.
For the information and encouragement
of the friends OF the Democratic cause and
of good government throughout the State
affirm it as my deliberate and confident
Judgment that the Democrats OF Richmond
have never in any previous campaign
manifested more intensity Of feeling and 4
more determined disposition to put forth
every energy OF mind, soul, and body. to
aid in securing n complete triumph this
fall for the establishment OF the princi-
pies and practices that prevailed before the
war, and which characterized and animated
the conduct OF both Old-Line Wings and
Old-Line Democrats. The deep earnest
ness of manner and tone OF language
of the people have impressed upon
nv mind with the conviction that
the spirit that burned i'm the bosoms
of the Conservative Democracy in 1869,
and which resulted in the overthrow OF car
pet-bag and scalawag rule ut that time and
saved the State from evils worse than
death, has been rekindled with greater
force in the boSoms Of the same party to-
day, and will incite them to put forth such
efforts this fall as will certainly remand
Virginia TO the control OF the great body OF
her enlightened and true sons, and restore
her to the proud position which she is en-
titled to occupy in the great galaxy OF
American States.
Yes, fcllow-Democrats of Virginia, your
metropolitan city is aroused as by a mighty
earthquake, and is coming up nobly TO the
full measure Of her duty and responsibility
in the momentous crisis which is now upon
her, and which threatens to make her the
tool and scourge of personal or autOcratic
government. But let the spirit and exam
pie of the Democracy Of Richmond ami
mate and be exemplifed by their brother
patriots in every city and county in the
State, and the liberties Of its people will be
restored and preserved. y. ;. NJ.

The City Committee having decided in
favor OF the more costly and therefore re-
strictiyc plan OF primary election, we
suppose there is no appeal; but as to the
manner OF the election, we think the evil
dent choice OF the people ought TO be re-
spected. The Dispatch shows plainly
enough, and we have heretofore taken the
same grounds, that the UirG-UOce method
OF voting at the primary defeats the very
end for which ii was established, which
was to obtain fearless and independent
expression Of preference. Men are
no longer independent in our cities,
but each is in some measure dependent
upon his neighbor, and cannot afford at all
times to offend him for mere tri1e. The
independence that boasts itself on all occa-
slons, and is so straight and stiff that il
sometimes leans back. is not so common in
these times as it was in the days OF our
fathers, who could afford the luxury.
Every merchant, shopkeeper, mechanic,
professional man, or other person who has
to make his livelihood is dependent
upon others, and il is to his in
terest not to give offence; but we
have found in the past that one can
not offend a candidate for public Office il
he Is Of his own party more then by let
ting him know that he voted against his
nomination. We therefore hope, though
II is the practice among our committees
and public men generally to declare them
selves " Independent OF newspaper dicta-
tion," and do the opposite OF anything the
press recommends, yet we still hope the
plan OF the committee will be based upon
the secrecy OF the vote, and that the cleo
ton win be called TO take place at rs early
a day as ii is possible to perfect the arrange
ments, due diligence being used with that
object in view.-State.

district the nomination Of Norton (colored)
is so Objectionable, even to some Of his own
race, that they are irretrieyably divided,

Indians Bad!yDeceiycd.

A Park Ridge Agency Dakota) telegram
says The Senate Committee to-day held a
council here with the OgaIIala band Of the
Sioux. The principal speaker was the
noted chief, Red Cloud. Like all the other
Sioux, the Indians here claim TO have
signed the Edmunds agreement under a
misapprehcnsion OF its terms. One surpri-
sing fact was brought out to-day. Ii will be
remembered that the treaty OF 1S6S pro-
vidpd that all subsequent agreements, in
order to be binding on the Indians, must
be signed by three fourths OF the adult
males OF the tribe. OF course the Edmunds
agreement was covered by this provision.
1t now appears that large number OF the
signers OF this agreement were boys be-
tween the ages OF five and twelve. The
Indians refer i'm terms far from compli-
mentary to the Rev. 5. ID. IIinman. who
acted rs interpreter to the EdmundS COM
mission, and who has been very active
in procuring signatures to the agree
meat, including those Of the chill
drcn referred to. They also say that
Mr.. Human promised them a strip Of land
i'm Nebraska in consideration OF their ces-
sion in Dakota. This hardly seems proba-
BILE. however, aS he certainly had no authO-
ritz to do so. As the facts are gathered by
the committee it becomes more evident that
the Edmunds agreement is no exception
to the rule Of conduct which has so long
di>graced the Government in it, treatment

morrow for the Rosebud Agency.
