THg issue that has been raised in regard
TO the charges against ANDREW JOHNSON
is an unpleasant and sad one. On the
one side is called into question the honor
and patriotism of President who has been
in his grave for years. on the other is
brought in unpleasant relations the
creates. soldis, OF our continent and one
whose memory people everywhere are de-
lighting TO honor. Il is also calling up
the unpleasant scenes OF the late war and
uucoyeriUs cid scars. Though it is a
maxim that we must speak no evil
of the dead, yet the people will
now doubtless insist, siCcs these unpleasant
scenes have been called up, upon the ques-
ton being settled Of once and forever. II
ASpREN JOHNSON is guilty Of the accuse
tons against him it should De known, so
thst history NAV know how to estimate
him; if it is ctherwise, the shadows that
have been cast over his memory should be
cleared away Colonel FRED GRANT
should in duty make public the "docu-
merits, letters and personal recollection"
which he has in his possession and which
may throw light on the question, and all
other information possible should be
brou1bt forward rom these acquainted

The Bourbon papers are making great
ado over letter of ex-Gov. D. III. Cham
berlain to John S. Wise, about the debt
question. This is the same Chamberlain
who was carpet-bag Governor of South
Carolina, and was driven out of the Exec
utive chair'and the State by the people of
that Commonwealth. Then he was de-
nounced as the ''sum of all villainies "a
conspirator against the s'best people"-a
thief, a scoundrel, and everything that was
vile. Now he is quoted as good authority
against Virginia and Virginians and Ia
ken to the bosom Of the Bourbons as Pc
culiarly fit man, because, forsooth, he was
counsel for the bondholders before the Su-
preme Court of the United States, in the
recent coupon cases. He then based his
argument on the briefs Of Messrs. Royal
and Maury, where it was distinctly stated
that the amendments to the Riddleberger
bill legislation, by the Bourbon legislature.
were the grounds of the suits, and upon
which the decision of the court was pred
icated. Now he says that it was the legis-
lation of 1882 that was pronounced uncon-
stitutional, when he contended before the
courts, as did Messrs. Royal and Maury,
that but for the amendments of 1884 by the
Bourbons, there would have been no case for
the bondholders. Chamberlain then ap-
peared against Virginia, and it IS entirely
consistent that he should now appear
against Mr.. Wise and be quoted by the Bour-
bon papers as proper and reliable witness.
After taking up Massey as their exponent
and representative, they are prepared for
any act and degree of inconsistency and
qualification,

What is at Issue2

A few days ago a gentleman of high
standing met another on the street, and re-
lated the following, in which all are deeply
interested Wing.
If I believed, he said, that this was
mere contest between white men and
negroes, my course would be clear. In race
questions, purely SO considered, all men
will naturally 60 according to their race
instincts, or prejudices, whether Mr..
Gable, in his very able article on that sub
ject, in the Century, is right or wrong on
the mere equity OF the Freedman s ques-
ton. But this Is not race question at
all, but one of honest, equal and progress
sive government for Virginia and for all
classes of her citizens. The negro has his
rights clearly secured to him by the Fed
eral Government, and we are obliged to
recognize and maintain those rights, with
out reference to past and now obsolete
questions and prejudices. The fact of the
business is, sir, that it is the rights of the
white NANNY own race-which are more
vitality concerned in this contest between
the Democrats and the Republicans, not
only on the debt question, with which the
negro has comparatively little to do, but
the question of the general welfare of the
Commonwealth. l have lately been to the
West, and was surprised as well as panied
to see how far behind we are in the race
for prosperity. Why, sir, we are just no.
where under the management of the last
twenty years. In such contest as this
between Bourbonism and that Republican
ism, as I see it where have been and such
as I believe it will be here, am for Wise.
Wood, and Blair, against the world.
Fitzhugh Lee may have been very good
soldler-he was trained to that business by
the United States Government-bu that
has nothing to do with the present condi-
tion of Virginia and how to make it bet
ter; No, sir, I'm for Wise, Wood, and
free politics. don't see why we Baptists
shouldn't contend for freedom of politi-
cal sentiment as much as we commended in
other days for freedom Of religious senti-
ments. or soul liberty, as General Field
and DR.. Curry used to be proud to call 1t.

A Card from John 8. Wise,

The following card from Hon. John S,
Wise. published in the Wing Of Thursday
last, speaks for itself. If our Democratic
contemporaries want to do simple justice to
Mr.. Wise and to themselves, they will give
this statement the same circulation which
they have given the falsehood he corrects.
We want to see how many of them will do
this act of simple justice:
CHRIsTIANsBURG, VA, August 25.
To the Editor Of the Wing:
It is almost pity to destroy the pleas
ure of a lie so palatable to the Bourbons as
the report that said expected to receive
100. 900 negro votes. Yet it must be done.
I never said anything of the sort any
where or to anybody. If were to receive
100000 negro votes in the approaching
election I would be elected by majority
of $4,000.
do not expect to overtake this false
hood. as it had it's start while was in the
back counties, and a lie will travel around
the world while the truth is pulling on its
boots still l start this messenger after
the Bourbons who are spreading the false
hood, in hopes it may reach their unwilling
ears sometime between this and election
day. Respectfully, JOHN S. WISE.

The Washington Republican exposes the
pretended discovery Of prospective frauds
in the Pension Office at Chicago in the
following article. 1t is like all the frauds
paraded before thepublic by this reform
administrations myth. The fact is, in
looking for frauds, the discovery has been
made that never in the history of the gov
eminent, has there been more systematic
honesty and efficiency developed, than un-
der the Republican administrations.
The Republican says
It is announced by authority, that "Miss
Ada q. Sweet, pension agent at Chicago,
has received orders from the commission
er of pensions to drop from the rolls of the
agency the names of the five hundred and
sixty pensioners who have died or, in case
of widows, remarked. No loss to the
government has occurred, but the clear
ing OF tie names of dead pensioners
promptly from the rolls is a saving of Ia
Dor in the pension office, and prevents pos
sible frauds on the government
These are the identical $50 names of dead
soldiers, dead and remarked widows who
have been referred to in Democratic news
papers as frauds on the pensions rolls. y
These are the outrageous frauds'' which
the vigilance of the pensions commissioner
has detected and which he has dragged from
darkness into the glazing light of day.
This is the great reform" which has been
sung and shouted over for the past eight or
ten days, and which is still being passed
along from state to state and from county
to county, in the rural Democratic press.
But these are the names that were repor-
ted in the regular way by the Chicago pen
sion agent, and would have been dropped
in the usual routine manner if Gen. Black
had been missionary in Timbuctoo and a
Democratic administration had not been
ordained. And this is a fair average
sample of the frauds" of which the coun-
try is hearing SO much.
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1885-09-03
Falsehood Expoeed.


Col. a. Wilson Norris was the Pension
Agent at Philadelphia. The President
removed him and appointed Gen. W. Fl.
H. Davis, a hide-bound, dyspepJic Demo-
coat, to succeed him. 1t was instantly
given out from Washington that Mr.. Nor
ris was short in his accounts to large
amount, ard this was taken up by the
Democrats from all over the country as
evidence of Republican corruption and
dishonesty. Gen. Davis, however, comes
to the front, and says there is nothing
wrong with Mr.. Norris accounts, and that
it is a shame that such statement should
have been given to the public. Mr.. Nor
ris also writes to the auditor Of his ac-
counts, pointing out the injustice that has
been done him and stating the process in
progress by which the final settlement Of
his accounts will he satisfactorily made.
The officer at Washington did not scruple
to smirch the character of public officer,
to justify the assumption that irregulari-
ties existed, when, in truth, the admins
tration of Mr.. Norris had been correct in
all particulars, and singularly free from
any evidence of suspicion.
The same partizan spirit and wicked
purpose was manifested towards Miss
Sweet, the pension agent at Chicago. It
was published that an astounding discov-
cry had been made, by which it was shown
that she was carrying on her pension list
$50 names that were not entitled to PEN
sion, intimating, if not charging, that she
was paying them, and defrauding the
government out Of that much. The fact
is, the names were there representing de-
ceased pensioners, or persons at one time
entitled to pensions, but had married, and
were carried on the list by direction Of
latA Not dollar had been paid them,
a&Ao cause existed for the insinuation or
Erge that there was anything wrong in
the office. The names have now been or
dered to be stricken off.
A similar charge was made against
the Court of Claims. where it was alleged
that numerous names were carried on the
list of employees as officers of the court,
who did no service, and only held them as
sinecures at good salaries. This, too, has
been shown to be a groundless charge
The court has come to its own defence,
and asserts that all the officers employed
held their places under the law, san ctioned
by ex-Secretary Frelinghuysen and other
eminent men, whose business it was to
look into the matter.
Failing to find evidence of corruption or
extravaganza in the departments, but eve
rything in the best condition, these false
statements have been given to the public
to bolster up the reform" Calm of the
partizans of the administration, knowing
when they were put out, that they were
false and wicked, duplicating the charac-
ter of Republican officers whose records are
without a blemish.

Money ana Business.

New York Tribune. Aug. 8 There has
been Improvement in many branches Of
business during the past week. The dry
goods merchants rejoice in a brisker trade
than they have seen for some time, and
the buyers from the South and. West have
been so numerous, and so we'll satisfied
with the prospects of trade in those Sec
tions, that prices have been firmly held,
with small advance in some kinds Of
wooden goods, while the advance of the
previous week in cotton goods was well
sustained. The production of print cloths
is still in excess Of the demand, but man
ufacturers refuse Ito be discouraged by
that fact, though for the present it pre-
vents the advance in prices for which they
hope. The assurance that the supply of
cotton will be abundant for the next year
does not seem to prompt buyers to wait
for lower prices. Another decidedly
favorable indication is the improved tone
in the iron and steel industry, which hap
lily finds expression in larger orders and
more active work, rather than in great
advance in prices. The steel rail makers
have succeeded by their combination in
securing many orders, though not as many
as some expected, and there are still re-
ports Of transactions at $27 so, though
the price asked on small orders is S29. Pig
iron has not so much changed in price as
in the tone of buyers and sellers and in
the amount of work assumed. Bar iron is
distinctly stronger and the whole manu-
facture more hopeful, especially since the
settlement between workers and employ
ers IN the Mahoning Valley and in the
sheet iron mills about Pittsburg. 1t is
an encouraging symptom, too, that the
relations of labor with capital seem gen
orally less disturbed. The threatened
and though two railroads are completely
blocked by strikers, and some other
strikes still continue, the general condi-
tion of affairs in the world Of labor is bet
ter than it was fortnight ago.
The grain market, however, is not in
promising condition. A struggle between
parties of New York and Chicago has
moved speculative prices up and down
during the past week. From the close at
92s cents for the previous week, wheat
fell to 90f, then rose to 90a, then fell to
90g, then rose to SO. and then fell to 9l4
cents. The close is lower than that of any
other week since Inc hrSC week OF ApTll.
1t may be noted that at just the same time
last year there was similar struggle to
prevent decline, though it was followed
by fall in prices. Last year the certainty
Of an enormous crop was the controlling
fact. This year the price seems to be
especially influenced by the collapse of the
export trade. The official report of ex-
ports in July, and the trade reports for the
principal Atlantic ports for three weeks
in August, compare as follows with simi-
lar returns for last year:
1886. 1884;
