The Civil Service law has been practi-
cally interpreted by the Democratic adj
minlstration. 1t is to turn all Republic
cans out of Office, regardless of their quail
fications, and put in their places Democrats,
regardless of their qualifications. With the
policy thus defined, the Democratic press
is lavish in it's notifications for reform.
The most offensive and INSCRIPTIONS par
tizans are selected, as rewards for party
service, and commissioned to serve undera
law not one of the qualifications prescribed
by which theypossess. tits practically the
grossest prostitution of all government
business to the vilest partizanism, and
when completed it is dubbed reform.
The fourth-class postmasters are the best
test. They are appointed by the Post
master-General. They do not have to be
confirmed by the Senate. They open the
way for the exhibition of the true inten.
ton of the administration, and give assur-
ance how Civil Service would be carried
out were not Republican Senate in the
way. But for the Senate there is not
Republican in the service of the govern.
ment, however inoffensive in the express
sion of his political convictions. who
would not have to give place to Demo-
GRAFT. When Republicans are retained in
subordinate positions, it is only to educate
Democrats to take their places. AS soon
as it is possible to dispense with them it
will be done. Yet these hypocrites cry out
reform, and such body as the Virginia
Democratic State Convention had the
effrontry to draft resolution in favor of
the Civil Service law!

Brother Button, of the Lynchburg Yer
qinia,a, has been called an Ishmaelite, be-
cause, it was presumed, his sensibilities
had become ossiied, and he converted into
very small button with a little b. But
this must have been mistake, as the fact
that he is now illegally drawing Page Nor
ris' salary. seems to have Modified his OBJ
durate nature, and revived his christian
emotions. Fedora ''soup" was what But
ton wanted all the time, and to get it he
made himself out worse button than he
really is. But we fear the agreeable
transmutation will be only of short dura-
ton. When the Senate gets hold of But
toms case, it will want to know how a
Christian gentleman can be appropriating
another mans salary, without the least
conjunction Of conscience, and be apt to
notify him that he is not the kind of q
button to tie to. That is what is disturb
ing Buttons serenity now and causing an
unusual degree of solicitude, which is
manifested in affected cheerfulness. Button
don't like to hear about the Constitution
or law. so long as he can get official soup"
in defiance of both. 1t is pretty well I'M
derstood that very few people in Lynch
burg nor Maj. Daniel wanted Button as
postmaster, but he became ugly and OBJ
and to ease him down he was
designated for the place, knowing that he
could not remain very long, and that when
he had been kicked out by Republican
Senate, he would not have cause to grit
his teeth at his party associates. Button
is in sorry plight. With the prospect of
losing Page Morris salary, which he is
now drawing, and with his claims on his
party discharged by the illegal appoint
ment he has, he will be left to suck the
thumb of disappointment. But don't
commit suicide, dear brother. We will
send YOU a cold potato.

1.-THE question Of the State debt has
ceased to be one Of dollars and cents.
1t has become one Of State Sovereignty =
says the Democratic platform. And the
Dispatch follows this up by the threat,

tion, as it stands to be respected by the
highest Judicial tribunal of the land
Here is declaration of the Democratic
State Convention that the State sovereign
ty dogma, which caused SO much suffering
and bloodshed to settle, and settle in
such a way that no sane person would want
ever again to have it opened to controver-
sy, is to be resurrected and thrust in the
face of the country to revive sectional
controversy.
We have the declaration of the Dispatch
that the Supreme Court of the United
States-the highest judicial tribunal in
the world-the final arbiter of all contro-
verified questions, from whose decision
there can be no appeal-must yield to the
clamor of few partizans and conform
its DEGREES to the necessities of des-
perate political faction.
We have the further announcement Of
the Dispatch that ''the next rebellion will
be in the North, and Virginia soldiers will
assist in putting it down.
Was ever such supreme. nonsense concen-
trated into SO small space as these threats
coming from the Bourbons of Virginia
What are reasonable people to think of a
party whose organs give utterance to such
reckless and revolutionary sentime nts
What power have these men to revive the
exploded doctrine Of State Sovereignty,
which went down in the shock of battle ?
What power have they to override the
Supreme Court of the United States, and
cause it to change its deliberate judgment
on constitutional question? What is to
cause rebellion in the North, and
against what is the rebellion to be di-
rected? And who are to invade the
North from the South under martial orders
to quell it :?
| When such sentiments are proclaimed
| by the recognized representatives of a
party, it is time for sensible people to
think Of squelching that party and publish
to the world that the people of Virginia,
mean to respect and obey the commands
of the Supreme Court they have NO
intention or desire to revive cOntro-
versy over dead issue, such as State SOW
ereignty, and that hey have had enough
of rebellion" and war. without seeking
to provoke another hostile conflict. The
people want peace and contentment- a ces-
sation Of conflict and return to the
peaceful pursuits Of life, whereby the pro.
gress and development of the country may
be assured, and the sections dwell in uni
ty, emulatlng each other in their endeav-
ors to do the most for the common good.

Why did the Democrats of Farmville
and Prince Edward county permit Nc
Kinney to get in Craig's way1 asks the
State. That is pertinent. Why? Nc
Kinney imprudently thrust himself mum
prepared for discussion, and when he
W anted to get out the clamorous Bour-
bons would not allow him. Wasn't Nc
Kinney the invincible Goliah, and what
had he to fear from the youthful David
from the backwoods ? That pride goeth
before fall was forcibly verified in the
encounter. Craig certainly gave McKin-
ney healthy drubbing- struck him square
between the eyes, downed him and kept
him down. He felt it. his friends felt it,
and some Of them had the candor to ac-
knowledge it. Craig can successfully meet
McKinny at any time and any place in
fair, manly discussion of the issues of this
canvass, before an intelligent, apprecia-
tive audience. Mckinney has some old
curls which he has been pruning and nurs-
ing for quarter of a century, and in this
line he may get away with Craig. But
to come down to logical array of facts
and arguments Craig is his equal, to say
the least, all the time.

A pretty straight story comes from New
York to the effect that Saml J. Tilden
has turned his back upon both President
Cleveland and Secretary Manning. The
reason assigned for this detection of the
Sage of Graystone is that Mr.. Tilden's let
tiers in behalf, and recommendations of
friends for office were treated with silent
contempt. This was resented by posi-
tive snub to both Cleveland and Man
ming. A milk and water denial of the
statement is given out. but it does not
carry with it the evidence of sincerity.
Troubles thick and fast are coming upon
the administration for it's pretense of
Civil Service reform and it's practice of
the most offensive kind of personal parti-
Zanism.

The feature of the market this week is a
marked depression in wheat throughout the
centres Of trade. Beyond this there is little
change. Glover seed and hay show q slight add
vance. due to the very limited offering. In
fact. the merchants are doing but little. and
but for the home demand the transactions
would be nominal All the wheat purchased is
taken up by local Eillers, ana this keeps the
prices up to almost as mach as can be obtained
in the cities. Prices yesterday ranged as fol-
lows: Flour. Family $i35; Extra $40; Super

We would suggest to every voter who
values his freedom and franchise to stay
away from the Primary, on the 5th of
Sept, to choose delegates to the Ring Con-
vention which is called for the 10th. The
people can make better choice for men
to make laws for them, than it is possible
for little selfish, scheming Ring to do.
The Ring is in its last agonies 1t only
wants one good healthy slap from the peo-
pie to have all the life knocked out of it.
1t has done enough harm to this town and
county to call down upon it the everlast-
ing wrath Of the people. Now is the time
to crush it. Stay away from the primary,
have nothing to do with packed conven-
ton, and make your choice at the polls.
You will have the privilege of voting for
better Democrats than the Ring can give
you. The Ring cannot be trusted. 1t
has no high object in view-cares nothing
for the people, and only processes defer
nee to any method for the purpose of di-
verting the popular mind from it's tricks.
1t is full of expedients, and the only way
to escape from it's environments is to keep
at respectful distance from all its sug-
gestions. The place to hit and kill it is
at the ballot box. There it may be given
a centre shot, and only there. The Ring
is now laughing in it's sleeve at the pri-
mary device it pushed through in the
County Committee. If permitted to
carry It out that is all it wants. 1t will
accomplish it's object. Keep away from
the Primary.
