s1ANpERERs OF THE souTH.-

SLANDERERs OF THE SoUTH.-Mr.
Charles Dudley Warner, in the current
number of Ha,per's Monthly, and Mr.. At
kinson, another New England man, both
of whom have travelled extensively in the
South for the purpose of inspecting the
condition of affairs in this section, concur
in the belief that with the Southern people
the war is over, and that no where else
throughout the broad limits of the country
is loyalty to the government more sincere
and more conspicuously apparent. And
yet such demagogues and South-haters
as Blaine and Sherman continue to flaunt
the bloody shirt and lie about the loyalty
of our people in order to keep up the war
between the sections. And John Wise and
his faction here in Virginia join in this Ii
bellous TRADE by characterizing the white
people of the State as "ballot-box suffers,
assassins and murderersp'
Could there be bottomless pit too deep
or fiery for the roasting of such a class of
public calumnlators?- Lynchburg Ad-

A Representative OF TR11E REpUB

A REPRESENTATIVE OF TRUE REPUBLI-
cANs.-Gen. WINS G. Wickham announ-
ces that he will support Ger. Lee for Gov
ernor. He is the representative of the
Virginia Republicans who act on principle
and are not mere political mendicants. See
the case of Col. Houston of Roanoke. In
national elections he goes of course with
his party; but we understand that he re-
sents it as personal affront to hint that
he could be induced to support such an
undignifed demagogue as John S. Wise
for Governor. He has seen the kind of
cattle that are training with Wise, Wood
& Co., and, remembering the Scripture
that stevil communications corrupt good
Manners he prefers to give gentlemen of
that class wide berth. We shall have in
this election the cooperation of the genu-
inc Republicans. These Malone creatures
are not Republicans. True Republicans
scout and scorn them. They are nothing
but political bandits and freebooters.-

OVERLAPPING THE REooRps-NoT TO

OvERHAULINe THE REcoRDs-NoT TO
MAKE POLITICAL CAPITAL, BUT TO RE-
FORM tn PUBLIC sERvIcE.-It appears
from the best information attainable, to be
the settled policy of the administration to
overhaul the books and ac-
counts of its predecessors. "We are not
doing this" said a high government OIL !.
cial to a Star reporter, ''for the sake OF
making political capital. This administra-
ton is pledged to reform the public ser
vice, and how can we correct abuses unless
we know where they exist? If fraud and
corruption are developed as the result OF
our Investigations, if it is shown that Re
publican officials have permitted dishonest
practices or have participated in them, so
much the worse for that party. But this
administration has higher and better OBJ
jects in view than the making Of party
capital.
Another Democratic official remarked:
81 think the developments up to the pres
emit have substantiated the charges Of pee
ulation and general corruption made by MIR.
Hendricks upon the stump IN Indiana
during the canvass last year."

In letter addressed to Mr.. Wise, Captain
j. II. Rives, late the Republican internal
revenue collector of this district, announces
his purpose not to support either "Alr.
Wise or the Malone ticket, for reasons
briefly stated" Captain Rives was the re-
publican candidate for Congress in this dis
trict against Mr.. Tucker in 1882, and has
been hard working Republican ever since
the war. When such an old line Repub-
lican. therefore, as Rives. drops off from
the Wise-Mahone column it proves just
what the AdUance said the other day, that
the bottom of that rotten tub was about
dropping out, and its defeat in November
will be overwhelming.-Lynchburg i'd

John S. Wise, in speech few days ago
referred to Rufus A. Ayers, the Democrat
ic candidate for Attorney General, as ''the
little cart-driver." True, that Rufus Ayers
was not 'born an aristocrat," as Mr.. Wise
claims to be, but was poor boy and left
with widowed mother and little sisters
and brothers to support; and living on a
farm he. as matter Of course, drove a cart
and did all kinds of work incident to farm
life, and by Industry and perseverance has
worked himself up from poor hard
working farmer boy to the eminent po-
sition he now occupies. -Fredericksburg

One thing is sure, you cannot serve God
and Mammon, neither can man be a
Democrat and in any way lend aid to the
Republicans. Independence is regarded
as an admirable trait of character. But
when man is independent by the break
ing of an obligation, it is very different.
So, when man goes into a Democratic
convention, stays till it is over, and votes
to the last, he is bound to abide by the de-
cision of the ajority.-Abingdon Standard.
