Dissemination" Indeed!

The National Republican, in COM
msnting on the Dispatch's charge that
the Republican party has for twenty
years sheen bringing to bear every in
fluence ii could command to array the
blacks of the South against the whites"
says:
"This is the reverse of true, as the
editor ofthe Dispatch must have known.
The Republican party has sought to DIS
ssminats its principles and make con-
verts to its faith, alike among whites
and blacks, but it has never drawn the
color line. II has in no instance
sought to 'array the blacks of the South
sgainst the whites but the Demo-
cratic party the white mans party,
begawdsah has persistently invoked
and nourished race prejudices."
And yet the Republican is working
ct 0 grand scheme to distribute in the
southern States that were closely Demo.
cratic in the last presidential election
negroes enough to make those States
Republican-tbese negroes to be drawt
from States where the negroes are
largely in the majority. Is it likely
that the Republican would be thus en-
gagged il it expected to depend upol
the dissemination Of Republics
principles As to the Republican
charge against the Democrats, why
Il that since the power OF its party i
ths South has been shattered the white
end negroes have, as a rule, gotte
along 50 well together?

True Rockingham.
The Rockingham Register says !:

- The Rockingham Register says:
I've think it greatly to the credit Of
Rockingham taxpayers that we can say
no coupons have been rendered for taxes
TO our treasurer so far this year. We
know q large taxpayer in Harrison
burg who owns State bonds, but re-
fuses to use the coupons attached to
them 10 payment Of his taxes. If the
people Of the State generally would
adopt this patriotic plan, Is urged by
Governor Lee, this most troublesome
question would DO settled once for all,
without. any further legislation or ag'ta-
ton"
$50 near and yet so far" So easy
and yet 50 difficult. No law, national
or State, requires any man TO pay bis
taxes in coupons. II nobody thus pays,
the State can have no trouble with her
finances. And yet how many troubles
shs has. Only yesterday jury in a
FEDERAL court gave . verdict against
hes, though Of course not nominslly
sssiast her.
Rockingham sets . noble example.

Their High Migntmesses.

The Washington kilograms in yester'
days papers state that in the United
States Senate an unfavorable report mad
been made upon one Of the Virginia
postmssters, who since his appointment
had published in his newspaper oilen-
siye personal articles against one of the
Virgins senators.
Does not that announcement recall the
star. chamber Of the STUARTs? was
ever such impudence or insolence
heard Of? A nomination is reported
unfavorably because the nominee, who
happened to be an editor, had said
something offensive to His High Night
ness WILLIAM MALONE or II. Ii.
RrppLEBERoER-the former, we
guess. But it does not matter which
one Of our Virginia senator's caused an
unfayorable report to be made in this
case, since 1t is admitted that hereafter
any editor who after his nomination for
Office speaks disrespectfully of United
States senator will for that reason fail
of confirmation J..
Think of it, people Of the United
States. If this Virginia editor had CON-
plimented this Virginia senator no OBJ
lection would have been made to his
confirmation. Civil. service reform must
hide its diminished head in the presence
of this new qualification for office. A
United States senator is hereafter to be
spoken of with "bated breath and
whispering humbleness What does
Mr.. CLEVELAND now think of his
net scheme? The United States
Senate passed the civil-service.reform
act. and the United States Senate has
determined to require oil persons here
after nominated for office, however high
their character and whatever other quail
fications they may possess, to dof their
hats when senatorial GEssLER appears
in sight, and to say nothing not lauda-
tory concerning these men swollen to
imitation by the insolsnce Of office
What is the world coming to? Why,
there is not another upper house of
legislation in the world that would
dare to set up such standard of quail
fications for office. The refusal Of the
House Of Commons to seat WILKES
seemed likely to result in almost a re-
yelution in Eng'a and the House had
to back down. Shall our insolent
would.be masters not be taught les

Death Of an Aged Hebrew-Intcrcst-
Ing Horse Case, &c.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch
APRIL s, 1886.
Mr.. Jacob Kull, the oldest Hebrew
citizen in Petersburg. died this morn
ing. He was born in Germany in 1900,
and was therefore eighty-six years old.
lie came to this country when very
young, had resided in Petersburg for
more than fifty years, and during the
greater portion of that long period was
a successful merchant here. His aged
wife preceded him to the grave only a
few months ago. He raised a large
family of children, several Of whom are
merchants here.
The Circuit Court of Dinwiddie
county-Judge Hancock presiding
was commenced to-day. There are
several cases of interest on the docket,
two of which are suits for damages.
AS stated in my letter Of yesterday,
the large cotton-factory on Canal street,
known as the Petersburg Cotton-Mills,
will resume work in a few days, en-
ploying about 100 or more operators.
This factory was purchased some time
ago by Baltimore capitalists, who have
abundant funds to make the enterprise
a success. Mr.. Semple, of Baltimore,
will be the superintendent and manager.
The proprietors will spend some $4,000
or $4,000 in necessary repairs to the
building and the improvement OF ma
cbinery. The company will be knoTn
as The Blue.Ridge Manufacturing
Company"
A case of considerable interest was
developed here yesterday afternoon.
Some time ago citizen oil
Ohio sold to Mr.. Conley, q
farmer of Nansemond county, a
certain patent which he claimed as his
own. The price for the county right
was 5000, and note for the amount
was given. When the note fell due the
farmer was unable to meet it, and re-
newal was asked for, which was
granted on COuuitloho that oVmO o0N"-
rity for its payment should be given.
The farmer owned fine blooded stall
lion, and bill of sale Of this animal
was given as surety, the bill being
signed by both husband and wife.
When the note fell due again it was
not paid, and the owner of the bill
of sale took possession Of the horse.
The case was taken before a justice Of the
county, who, after hearing the facts,
decided that the holder Of the bill Of
sale was entitled to the horse, aud or.
dered that the animal be given to him.
1t was held, in view Of the amount in
volved, that the justice had no juris
diction in the case. The horse wal
brought to this city, and was followed
here by the farmer and his friends, an(
lawyers we're employed to look furthe
into the case. To-day notice was re
ceived by the sergeant that the Nause
mond magistrate had reconsidered hi
decision and granted new trial, an
the horse and all the parties claimln
interest in him, with their counsel
+ went down to that county with vie'
to further proceedings in court.

locaI.OptiOn In the Country.
GREEN BAY, April I, 1856


To tie Editor of the Dispatch:
Local.option is much talked Of and
discussed in this section, and | have
read with much interest the able argu-
ments pro and con in your paper in re-
gard to it. | am opposed to high
license as we'll as localoption. | am
opposed to intemperance, but think
every one should be allowed to take
drink when he chooses. Up my way
we are free-thinkers and law-abiding
men. and do not think the morals Of a
country ever will be governed by laws.
| see ministers Of the Gospel are blck-
ling on their armor and vigorously adj
vocating local-option. My idea Is II
every minister of the Gospel would
ardently preach against intemperance
as our preacher, the Rev. F. W. Berry,
does, local-option would not be needed.
In the course Of twelve months his argu-
ment has been so powerful against in
temperance that one Of his members
who for a number Of years had imbibed
too freely has abandoned the use of the
ardent altogether, and drunkenness in
our section has been reduced so per
cent. / think good idea would be to
have honest men, Of whom you have
many in your party, inspect all liquors
at distilleries, and the same in every
city, town, and county, to see that its
original standard is maintained.

AsHcAKE, HANOVER Co.. Va, !
April 6, 1886.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Allow me a shot, too, on local OPP
ton. l neither buy, sell, nor drink !;
no interest in the matter except the
common welfare of my fellow-men. l
look at it this way: God permits evil.
He sets before us good and evil, but
warns us to choose the good. He told
Adam not to eat; did not say cut and
burn that tree its fruit is death. Let
whiskey alone. 1t is no worse than
many other temptations that we
cannot remove. Boys must be
taught to resist every temptation.
Boys raised up right amongst tempta.
tions are less apt to fall into them than
those who suddenly come upon them.
Amongst my young friends it is those
who are fresh from pious country
homes that ! feel the most anxiety for,
How will they stand temptations
That's the question for temptations,
l know, they must meet.
Honored ministers Of God, don'i
preach politics; ladies of Virgins, lei
politics alone. Local-option is, or viii
be, politics. Continue to preach to Us
and pray for US that God may deliver
our young men and all Of Us frou
every temptation. God sent you no
to destroy but to save. We are in |,
world Of temptations. We must b,
men and resist them, or perish. VI
can't destroy them.

A country merchant "talac busi-

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
notice in your to-day's issue The
proceedings in the trial Of a coupon case
before Judge Atkins where Phlleesi-
phia drummer sues for damages where
The officer of the State refuses to cc.
cept coupons in payment Of his license
tax as drummer.
IL strikes me the most summary way
of getting rid Of all such cases will be
for every merchant in the State-ln the
country, towns, and cities--to ask every
drummer when he enters our stores
whether he paid his license-tax in cou-
pons, and if he answers in the atlirma-
tive, politely inform him he need not
open his samples, as we do not propose
to patronize any firm who pays his
license tax with coupons. This writer
proposes 4" topractice what he breaches
in the future.
