mocracy than Mr.. Tucker has shown
himself to be. For whom did he repre-
cent in all this matter save and except his
own wishes and notions. Oh but says
the Spectator. it would be shame not to
send Mr.. Tucker back to Congress so long
as we can get so smart man to represent
usl Oh, dear me ! now Mr.. Tucker will
kindly pat its little head for that and put
it in its little cradle!
Yes, Mr.. T. is fine constitutional law
yer and fine orator. AMI all that, but
''fine words butter no parsnips." We would
rather have little less orat0ry and good
deal more common sense-hard common
sense-the rarest kind of sense in this
world.
Is there any room in this Presidential
campaign for Mr.. Tucker? would be
glad to see his acknowledged talents en-.
listed in it, provided he is ready to stand
upon the Chicago platform of the party
and not spit upon and spurn it as he did
the Lynchburg platform. For, if he still
thinks the leading issue in this campaign
is fight for reformed tariff-"a tariff
for revenue 0nly''-theu is there no place
for him to stand. He cannot be allowed
to introduce discord here as he helped to
do in Congress. The people of this cnun-
try, largely without respect to party, have
come to think the struggle is not as to how
we shall raise money to carry on the gov
eminent. but whether we shalt have a
government of ours to carry on. Whether
the people shall be left free from troops
and marshalls and supervisors and all the
machinery of despotism to select their own
President And whether having elected
him they shall be allowed to inaugurate
him These are the burning questions.
and at such time to be haranguing the
people about this and that sort OF tariff
would be all one as to be beating Chinese
gongs in their ears and throwing stink
pots at the Malone republicans.
Whom shall we send to Congress Any
honest, capable man, who will fairly re-
present his people. Any intelligent, well
informed man, who has respect eas ough for
his people 70 record their wishes rather
than his own, If he happens to differ from
them. But we can easily fnd one who
sympathizes with them in opinion and
principle.
Capt. ". A. anderson, of Rockbridge,
is such man. He is every inch a gentle
man and an able one. He bears all over
his manly frame the marks of his devotion
to the Southern Cause and will bear them
till he sinks into the grave. Why shall we
not elect him without more ado

Our contemporary. the Spectator, an.
nounces this week the addition to its
editorial staff of our old friend, Col. J. G.
Shields, one of the best informed and
most graceful writers on its Virginia
press. Col. S. was formerly one of the
owners of the Richmond WhiQ under diff
ferent political auspices fGem Its present,
and it was greatly to his efforts that The
Whsq owed it's former commanding posi-
ton IN Virginia, The Colonel's connec-
ton with the Spectator is gort of semi
centennial in his life. just fifty years
ago he came to Staunton from Lexington,
to learn his trade. In the same Sabbath
school class with him were number of
newspaper men in embryo-Jos. A. Wad=
dell, afterwards of the Spectator, Lyttle-
ton Waddell, afterwards of the Char
lottesville Chronicle, and DIR. Hall who
married the daughter of Col. Bondurant
of Buckingham. and so in after-life, by
inheritance, became one of Col. Shields
partners in the Richmond Whig. The
Colonel is an estimabie and courteous gen.
tleman and we welcome him back to the
county which was the birth place of his
ancestors.

We have received the first number of
The Amherst Democrat, edited by S. M.
Garland, Esq with w. E. Middleton,
Esq, Assistant editor and Business Man
ager. 1t is an admirable number aud ex-
hibits editorial ability and news gather
ing industry. With reference to the po-
sition of Hon. Thomas Whitehead, now a
resident of that county, towards the con-
gressional nomination for the 10Th dis
trict, the Democrat quotes him as say
ing he is not candidate for the honor,
but he would not ''decline a re-endorsa-
ton by the people whom he had represen-
ted at time when radicalism had to be
fought on every stump in the district. D
The Democrat says editorially:
While the county of Amherst will al
ways be loyal to the candidate of the par
ty, whoever he may be, yet the ''Old Free
State" can never forget Capt. Thomas
Whitehead. She will ever remember with
feelings of deepest affection the man who
successfully fought Radicalism in its
strength at every cross-road in the county.
She will ever be glad when the opportuni-
ty presents itself to repay her debt of graf
itude in way that will honor herself and
honor the worthy old representative.

The Place for the South River Primary.

The Place for the South River Primary.
Editor Vindicator
My attention has been called to the sew.
eral articles in the last issue of your paper
in reference to the change of place for
holding the District Convention in South
River Township.
Being the member of the County Com
mittee from South River district,
upon whose motion the change was made,
l assume all the responsibility belonging
to me about the matter, and have no ap-
pOlO2ieS to make and do not conceive it
the duty of the County Committee to
make any amend. My motion was made
in spirit OF justice and right. 1 recog-
nize the fact that there are Democrats in
South River district outside of Waynes-
boro as worthy and deserving of recognl-
ton at the hands of the County Commit
tee as the Democrats of Waynesboro, and
in the same spirit and for the same reason,
my motion was adopted by the County
Committee.
The facts in the case are simply these ::
For nearly twenty years the Democrats of
Barterbrook and Fishersville have been
going to WayneSbOro, a distance Of from
five to twelve miles. (mAking the great
sacrifice and overcoming the many obsta-
Giles referred to by the NV Orking Demo-
crat' of Waynesboro), to attend all the
district conventions, with but one excep-
ton. that have been in the district since
the war. And now the County Commit
tee, simply in spirit of justice. ask the
Democrats of Waynesboro to meet TIN
Democrats of Barterbrook half way,
Fishersville. Ia more central point in th
township and jest as convenient for tn
Democrats of Sherando precinct) for tn /
purpose of holding convention to cleo
six delegates to represent South Rive
Township in convention to be held id
Staunton to nominate Congressman
Now, il there is anything wrong about
that am nGt ai55 le s5 see Is; -
been able to find single Democrat,
and have talked to some of the working
Democrats of the town of Waynesboro.
that does not admit, without hesitation,
the justice in the matter. and that it is
customary in some of the townships to
alternate to different precincts for holding
their conventions. That was good advice
that you gave the Democrats of Waynes-
boro-to keep cool and if you will permit
me, will say to you, that charity begins
at home. Respectfully,

Speaker Stuart of the House of Dele
gates and President Hurt of the Senate,
left for Old Point Comfort, Wednesday, to
present to Governor Cameron the petition
signed by more than two-thirds of the
House and Senate, for the call of an extra
session. BY agreement with the Republic
can signers it is arranged that the new
session shall be exclusively confined to the
passage of another bill for congressional
eapportionment.in case the Court of APP
peals pronounces the last unconstitution-
al; and also to arrange for the additional
elector to which the State is entitled. It
is thought the Legislature will be called
to meet Aug. 10. A telegram from Fred
ericksburg, Wednesday morning, says
two agents of Gen. Malone have just
gone to visit State Senator Rowe, Of that
county, to induce him to withdraw his
signature from the petition.

We give good deal of space this morn
ing to the letter signed "Senex," which is
written by venerable gentleman Of large
political observation and who formerly re-
presented Augusta county in the House of
Delegates. He was known when in public
life as one Of the most conservative of men,
cautious, and wise. He is no longer &C.
tive in political affairs and his opinions
are undisturbed by the eager turmoil
which often warps the judgment of those
who are. If we were at liberty to publish
his name there are few who would not
con cede weight to his views.

The people of the Valley of Virginia are
not accustomed to having their congress.
sional nominations dictated to them by
the Norfolk papers, and perhaps it is the
absence of that custom that causes their
inability to'understand the persistent de-
mand of the Norfolk Ledger and Norfolk
Landmarks that the Hon. J. &. Tucker
shall be nominated from this district,
which he has never yet served in congress.
| We presume that if the Valley papers had
so persistently insisted on naming the
nominee for the Norfolk district they
| would have received an intimation that
| the people of the Norfolk district were fully
able to attend to their own affairs. New.
ertheless we waive the rights of etiquette
| in favor of that community of interest
that all Democrats should feel, and will
not give our esteemed contemporaries the
remonstrance that they have both so well
earned. The Norfolk Landmark, which
we presume knows whereof it speaks
says:
s'That gentleman (Mr. Tucker,) can
stand on the Chicago platform, and tina,
by universal consent is enough"
There is no doubt that be can take his
stand on the Chicago platform; but ioat
ne. Will Mr.. Tucker endorse and defenc
the principle plainly enunciated in thai
platform that rather than lower wages fol
workingmen we must have higher tariff
and that any change in the tariff must bF
subject to keeping up the wages OF Ame
rican industry ? If MIR. Tucker does thai
the war is over. If he cannot do that, vii
our contemporaries of Norfolk still insist
that the Tenth district must nominate {
gentleman at variance with both his STATE
and National platforms because~it is Mr.
Tucker. Would they ask any Democratic
e constituency in Virginia to do that sor
of thing? The Ledger thinks Mr.. Tucker
will be nominated. Possibly he may be
which makes it all the more importan
that when his Republican competition
points to his platform protecting American
labor, Mr.. Tucker should be willing to poin
triumphantly and honestly to his own plat
form doing precisely the same thing. Mr.
Tucker has numerous friends in this vi
entity, but not one uf them yet, either il
the press that advocates him or in private
has given any assurance that he will en-
dorse the Chicago platform.

A curious reason is alleged by a
CORE respondent for objection to herd
law. The grass is short, and it re-
quires more land to pasture certain
number of cattle than somewhere
else. Yes, and in other places the
range is 80 small that it requires o
little corn, and fodder, and straw to
help out. There is no more grass
grown by leaving the land unfenced
than with fence. When the owners
want the land, the vagrant stock
must go. Nobody can expect to have
free pasture on other peoples land,
beyond a limited time. The time to
declare ranging stock nuisance has
already come in many counties. The
passage of herd law may seem like
the protection of grass which no.
body is utilizing. 1t is, however, the
protecting of much land that may
soon be in corn, and grain, and cot
ton, without expense for fencing. If
these we're lands unfenced, and the
grass were growing high, somebody
could take the trouble to cut it for
hay.-Galueston Ne,cs.

ter in this city in the person OF Judge
Edward A Noonan OF the court OF
criminal correction. He is tho young
est criminal judge in the state and
his court is one of vast Importance
He is not q studious man, but his
quiclness OF apprehension and knowl-
edge of human nature arc wonderful
To unfortunate, friendless, and "acci'
dental" criminals, he is lenient and
merciful TO tho extreme, utto Others,
and particularly wife heaters and
those who abandon their wives and
children, he is O terror. The time for
beating women has passed by, was
the laconic observation which he pre-
fixed to heavy punishment upon a
burly fellow who had whipped q poor
woman shamefully.
The police authorities say, that,
never in the history of the city has
their been such a swarm OF burglars
and "garroters" in our midst. They
have become so bold and desperate
that their method is simply to walk
into places of business and rob the
till at the point of the pistol. One
man was shot down and his pocket
book taken from him, after which the
robbers retired coolly and successfully.
