The democratic press is dischargiDg its
heaviest batteries against all who Care to
think and act for themselves. No sooner
does a man proclaim his political indepen-
denee and announce that he intends to
vote as his reason and judgment dictate.
that forthwith the organs raise howl and
den0unce him as a traitor. The thorn in
the side of the Democratic party seems to
be the fear of independent candidates, and
they charge all manner of bargain and sale
against any who dare to so announce them
selves. in this county where the Prohi-
tionists are running full legislative
ticket, composed of gentlemen of whom
only good can be said. gentlemen who
have heretofore been identified with both
political parties-the charge is boldly
made that they have been paid to run by
Malone, in order to break up the Demo-
cratic party. The candidates themselves,
who have never been accused of want Of
veracity, declare that they are running in
the interests of no man or set of men, but
that they are fighting the fight for moral
ity and temperance, and the best interests
Of the county. In SO doing they are called
to combat the rings and cliques which
year after year have deprived the county
of just representation in the legislative
halls and turned its delegates into mere
figure heads to carry out the programme Of
the rings. The organs may howl them
selves hoarse, but the fact remains that
the common people are beginning to do q
little of their own thinking, and can no
longer be made the mere tools of political
tricksters.

The Petersburg Iader-A ppeal Justify
calls upon the Democracy to lay its preju-
diees and Bourbonism aside and square
up to the demands and emergencies Of the
hour by nominating a colored man for the
Legislature, in that city. That indeed,
would be an advance step. Then if the adj
vice of the Appeal, as heretofore given,
were taken, to demand q free ballot and
fair count, and that no fraud or attempt
at fraud be practiced, the millennium
would not be far off. It would be an au-
spicious day for Virginia were the Demo-
Gratis to recognize the meaning Of the
Constitution and laws. and under them
appeal alone to the Judgment and reason
of the people. 1t would open wide the
doors for the ingress of intelligent popula-
ton, for the assurance would then be re-
corded that a mans political opinions
would be respected that his business and
social relations would be regulated by his
demeanor as a good citizen, and not by the
views he might hold on controverted ques-
tions affecting government, State and
National. UatiI this shall be the case,
there will be no progress or prosperity for
the State. Bourbon prescription is a con-
slant obstruction to progress and growth,
and until it ceases, we may appeal in vain
for capital and enterprise to come to our
aid

A dispatch from Chambersburg. Pa,
dated Oct. 5, says "A short time ago the
contractors along the South Pennsylvania
Railroad received word from the Ameri-
can Construction Company asking what
amount Of money they would take for the
work done on the road by them. They
sent in their figures, and OH Saturday word
was received by them that their PROPOSE
lions had been accepted, and they were
ordered to discontinue work on the tunnels
at once. This morning all the hands were
discharged aud work was generally sus-
pended. The Kittatinney tunnel, over
4,000 feet in length, was almost completed.
The contractors say they have the assur-
ance that the road will be completed by
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Messrs. Mason, Hoge 81 Gooch, and Nc
Mahon, Green s. Co., two Of the most re-
liable contracting companies in Virginia,
had contracts on the Pennsylvania Southern.

company having settled its affairs salts
