The electoral votes of the several States

1t was reported i'll Wheeling on the

had collapsed, causing great damage to the
building.
Moody, the Evangelist, is to visit Rich
mond about the LIST OF December. He
ought to be there about the 22d of Octo-
Der, to take in hand the Legislature when
it meets.
The conference OF three great Emperors
of Europe is construed to foreshadow a
scheme to unite Russia, Germany and Aus
tria in Congress against the English pol
ieyof acquiring possessions in Asia and
Africa.
E. p. cambridge, Esq. a prominent law
yer Of Winchester, and formerly repre-
sentative-of Frederick county in the Leg
islature. was found dead in his bed on the
morning of the 2sth. Heart disease is
supported to have been the cause.
Tammany has nominated a full NUM-
cipal ticket in New Y ork city, with Hugh
Grant for Mayor. Kelley refused all pro-
positions to unite with other organizations
or receive suggestions, claiming that Tam
many was the true Democratic party.
1t is stated that Judge r. W. Hughes
win shortly publish in the Baltimoreaa, his
recollections of John M. Dauiel, decd, the
Virginia journalist. Judge Hughes was
intimately acquainted with Mr.. Daniel,
and his papers will be read with great in
terest in Virginia especially.
Mr.. Blaine's journey through Ohio is
one continued outburst of enthusiasm
from the millions. 1t is a significant and
overwhelming response to all the Demo-
cratic SANDERS which have been concocted,
and hurled at him. He is on the straight
road to the White House, and there will
be no turn in 1t.
Mr.. Tucker isreported by the Spectator,
in his speech last Saturday night, as pre-
dieting confidently the election of Cleve-
land and Hendricks. This is an illusion,
but it is possible Mr.. Tucker does not know
it. There is no more probability Of the cleo
tion of the Democratic candidates for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency, than there
is for the fulfillment of Mr.. fuckers pre-
diction as to himself, that he will come to
the Blue Ridge with majority of the
votes of the eastern counties of the dis
trict. He will not reach that by a long
ways, and he will not carry over three
counties in the district, if that many. He
will be defeated by from 1000 to 800.
Let him put that in his pipe and smoke
it. The people. don't want him in Con-
gress. They do not think with him on all
important public questions, and know he
has nothing to commend him as local
representative.
The Republican National Committee has
established branch headquarters at Nash
vile, Tenn. to overlook the political
movement in tine South, and operate in
Southern States. This is wise. 1t is, no
doubt, the suggestion Of Mr.. Blaine
himself, and indicates a purpose to en-
courage and strengthen the brave men in
the South who are fighting the battles OF
Nationalism, of law and order. i'll this
canvass. Had it been done before, the
Solid South would have been broken. 1t
win be broken in No, ember, if a liberal
and courageous policy is pursued by the
National Committee. The great mass of
the people of the South, especially the
working classes, are at heart against the
despotism and treachery Of the Bourbon
leaders. These care nothing for the peo-
ple-they care nothing for government,
either State or. National, unless they can
direct it. They are enemies to their Sec
tion and power should be wrested from
them as the only means of placing the
South in her true political and National
relations.
1t was altogether appropriate and fitting
that Mr.. Bayard should have INDUCED in
an extravagant eulogy of Mr.. Tucker.
Mr.. Tucker would have done the same
thing for Mr.. Bayard. In fact, the prin-
cipal object in bringing MI. Bayard to
Staunton was to help Mr.. Tucker. They
belong to the same class Of statesmen.
They are both free traders they are both
opposed to popular education-they both
live in the past they both believe that the |
few should control the many. In his Brook
Ign speech, several weeks ago, Mr.. Bayard |
repudiated the idea of the major
lily rule. They both distrust the people. |
and have no use for them except when
they want votes. The difference is, that |
Mr.. Bayard owns about one-half of the
three counties which constitute his State,
md with the Saulsburys, who own the !
other half, can always have Legislature
20 suit their purposes. Hence he has no
iced to respect the rights of the people
md to admit the principle that this is a
governed by the popular will. Mr..
Tucker is of the same cast of mind. but
le does not own the eleven counties which
ompose this district, although from the
vay he votes in Congress to represent
Iimsef and not his constituents, it might
70 supposed that he did. But the fact re-
mains that he does not, and that he is now
n trial before them to know whether his
record is to be approved or
