Congressional Delegates.
CULPEPER, August /

To the editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
This county is entitled to fifteen delegates
in the Congressional convention. In the
appointment of delegates yesterday Stevens
burg district instructed its four delegates
for Lee as first choice and he will probably
receive one half of the votes OF the county
upon the first ballot, unless.it is concluded
to give the entire vote Of the county upon
the first ballot as compliment to worthy
county man, Capt John r. Strother. It is
certain, however, the vote of the county
upon the second ballot, if not solid for Lee,
will not be less than thirteen out of fifteen.
The news from Orange is to the effect
that about one half of that delegation will
be for Lee and the same from Fauquier.
This insures seventy.fve votes for Lee upon
the (irst ballot. X.

SOME OF the Northern republican newspa
pers of the mugwump order, attempt to de-
ceive their readers into the belief that the
democratic party is on record as endorsing
the Presidents civil service policy. The civil
service plank in the national democratic
party platform adopted at Chicago is Of two
lines, and is to the effect that the party IA.
vors proper civil service reform. That's
all there is of it. To suppose that the DEM
ocrats of the country ever endorsed either
the existing civil service law, the manner in
which it is executed, or it's republican con-
ssructed rules and regulations, by the ope-
ration of which they are excluded from the
Offices OF the government, and the positions
Of republican Office holders made perma'
n ant, would be to imply that they have lost
their senses, or are impressed with the NOR
tifying conviction that their own party does
not contain enough capable men to dis
charge the duties of the federal offices. No,
the present system of civil service reform is
mugwump, not democratic. policy.

some OF the ultra republicans are felicita-

democrats in Cincinnati have been sent to jail
on conviction of frauds at elections in that

about such republicans as those referred to is
the fact that none of them has ever regretted

ranchers whose places are on the San Pedro,

yesterday by band of eight or ten Indians.
The ranchers abandoned their horses and
equipments, which were taken by the In.

Miles will let them be independent of the

TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST }.

THE RICHMOND Dispatch in its vain at
tempt to effect settlement of the State
debt upon terms which it, a year or two ago.
designated as fat reputation, prophesies
that when some of the members of the o. 5.
Supreme Court die or resign and other men
be appointed to their places, that court will
reverse it's decision in the Virginia coupon
cases, and decide that the eleventh amend
ment to the Constitution, which prohibits
State from being sued is not mere jingle OF
words, but "a solemn part of our organic
law" But no matter what changes may be
made in the membership Of the U. 3. Su'
preme Court, that court must always decide
that as the tenth section of the first article
of the Constitution prohibits State from
passing any law impairing the obligation OF
O contract, the Riddleberger bill is null and
void, iuasmuch as it does impair the solemn
Contract which the State of Virginia made
with the men to whom she sold her bonds.
Those terms arestill just as binding upon
the State as they were when the bonds were
first issued, and that, too, no matter in
whose bands the bonds may now be; and
the best, and easiest and only wsy,in which
the debt they represent can be permanently
settled is that by which the State and her
creditors can agree upon terms that will be
satisfactory to the latter and therefore hon.
orable to herself. And the sooner such
settlement can be effected the better it will
be for the State, and for every one who has
any material interest in her welfare.
