4 FAITHFUL RECORD.

On Saturday Capt. James Bumgardner,
Jr., ended his fourteen years Chairman
ship Of the County Democratic Commit
tee. by sending in his resignation. Well
compromising the power which such a
position carries with it, he felt delicacy
in retaining it while his name was before
the Democracy of the District for the nom
nation for member of The 50th Congress-;
and so, like the true gentleman he is, he
resigned it. 1t is not easy to write in
measured terms of the man and the ser
vice he has rendered. Since he took tie
helm, the Democratic party has undergone
many vicissitudes; it has passed through
victories and defeats, but under his hand
the Democracy of Augusta has remained as
steady as a rock; coming under whatever
name-Liberals, Readjusters, Republican,
she has ever withstood the foe. By those
familiar with the soork of County Chair
man, something very different from the
easy-golng oratory and fireworks of cam
paign, the position of a man who has held
therudder fourteen years and gone through
half again as many campaigns can be fully
appreciated; and yet to this labor Capt.
Bumgardner has added in nearly every
fight. chat of a canvasser. His record has
won the highest place for him in the affec-
tions of the Democrats of Augusta, and it
was not surprising Saturday to hear rep
resentatives in the County Committee en-
thusiastic in their determination to send
the congressional nominating delegation
of the county ..solid for Bumgardner.

ly following the war, the Republican
party comprised the wealth and intelli-
genceo of the North, protest against with
the exaggerated cry that it threatens the
unity of the empire and in fact is but an
other name for disunion. In the Tory
speeches we find almost accurately stereo-
typed the old Republican speeches of this
country about the "fag'' and the IAN
Gent glories of the nation; the s'treason
to the memories of those who lie in West
minister Abbey" and the fact that Great
Britain owes it to herself to use force with
Ireland and not stemp0rize with trait
ors." How familiar all this sounds TO those
of us who have passed through recon-
struction! Many of the Liberals who with
Mr.. Gladstone put their hands to the pillow
have become frightened and turned back.
Lord Harrington, who has every quality
OF statesman except courage; Mr.. Cham
berlain who wants Ireland ruled leniently
but wants it done by English and not
Irish hands; and many more who cannot
comprehend that this movement is not a
mere device OF expediency, but track
written in the stars. To American eyes
much of the argument of the Tories he
reads in the canvass is strange indeed, so
strange that he can only lay down the
paper with the reflection that whom the
Gods would destroy they first make mad.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Last week Mr..
Morrison's tariff reduction bill was knocked
out" to use the phrase of the day, in the
House. He made a motion to take it up for
immediate consideration, but the protection
lists rallied determined to make their fight at
the very outset. If strong enough to prevent
the consideration of the bill, they could save
at least two weeks of time that would be con-
sumed in the debate, and shorten the session
by that much. Mr.. Morrison's motion was
beat by ayes 140, noes 1853. Including those
paired, who are upon the record tn e same as
if they had voted, there were 1853 ayes and ITO
noes. Five Republicans voted with Mr. Nor
rison, and 35 Democrats-nearly all from
New York, New Jersey, Pennsy lvania, Ohio
and louisiana the lead of Mr.. Ran
dali, voted against taking up the bill. All the
Virginia Democrats voted aye.
Mr.. Morrison Immediately gave notice that
he would renew the motion on Monday of
this week. He said he did not expect a diff

AN OLD CUSTOM REVIVED.

A very old custom in Virginia politics
was revived at Harrisonburg, last Mon
day, court-day; Mr.. w. R. Alexander of
Frederick, candidate for the Democratic
nomination from that district against Col.
q. T. O'Ferrall, addressed the people and
was replied to by Col. O'Ferrall. The
main points urged by Mr.. A. were-that
Rockingham had had the congressman for
twenty-five years continuously; that
O'Ferrall at the last election had run be-
hind the ticket in Rockingham, Shenan-
doah, and Page, and had voted for the
Oleomargarine bill, which was calculated
to increase internal revenue rather than
reduce it. Col. O'Ferrall's replies were.
that he had heard about "O'Ferrall being
weak'' before. He had heard it in Staun-
ton when he took the flag and ended by
planting it in Congress-; that Carlisle. Ran
dali, Morrison. and John W. Daniel-all
distinguished Democrats had run behind
their ticket; and he should vote for ''hon-
est butter" over the oleomargarine fraud
every time. The discussion was conduc'.
ed with great courtesy, and each gentleman
declared his intention to heartily support
whichever got the nomination.

Senator Riddleberger deserves the thanks
of the people for bis persistent and ccnra-
geous efforts to break up the anti-repub-
lican secret session business of the Senate.
1t is unsuited to free country, and is
copied from monarchy and its methods
The only secret sessions allowable in the
Senate are those in which foreign affairs
may be discussed, but in common cases
where the American people exclusively are
concerned, the American people are emit
tied to know what is being said and done
by the men who are their servants, but
who only seem to be aware Of that fact Pc
riodically when they are applying for the
positions which they afterwards treat as
individual property. The nominations of
the President should be discussed in open
day, and we hope Mr.. Riddleberger who
seems to be the only Senator that thinks
the rights of the people worth making
fight for, will not discontinue his eff
forts.

1t is not very probable that had Presi-
dent Lincoln lived, the N orthern States,
which then composed the Nation, would
ever have agreed after success on the
field, to pay for the slaves at the South.
Nevertheless it is very pleasant to read
the plan that was in the mind of that
great and good man as told by Col. Nc
Clure of Pennsylvania, in his recent ad-
dress before the students of Washington
& Lee University. He said:
There was not day, from the date of
the final proclamation of emancipation
until February 8, 1866, when Stephens,
Hunter and Campbell, the Confederate
commissioners, met Lincoln at Fortress
Monroe, that Lincoln would not have
gladly accepted peace under restored
Union, with compensated emancipation.
l we'll remember hearing him discuss it,,
late in the autumn of 1854, when the cues
tion of military success on great battle-
fields was no longer problematical; and,
could the people of the South have heard
him as did, an trusted him as all trus-
ted who knew him, believe that there
would have been early peace. with COM
pensated emancipation. and reconstruct
ton without the desolating tread Of the
thief and adventurer. I saw his plan,
written out by his own hand, based on
the payment of $400, 000, 900 to the owners
OF slaves.

Republican chairman:

DEAR SIR There will be meeting of the
State Committee of the Republican party of

respect to the Congressional cangass, the call
ot conventions for nominations of candidates,
and policy to be pursued, and you are request
ed to attend at the committee-rooms, in the

and Buildings of the Senate, the Goth day of
June. 1886, at 10 M. Yours truly,
VIM. MALONE, Chairman.
It is stated in various quarters that the
fight will be concentrated on the Frede-
ricksburg, Richmond, Abingdon. and
Staunton districts. The Norfolk and Pc
tersburg districts the Republicans already
have, almost beyond dispute, just as the
Democrats hold the Alexandria. Danville,
Lynchburg. and Winchester districts. In
the districts the Republicans propose to
locate their contest, the Democrats have
good working majorities, and it is only a
matter of good candidates end ordinary
activity on the part Of the party managers,
to retain them.
