publican party will set up business in
Virginia again.
But you will take out your spite on the

THE VOTE OF AUGUSTA
COUNTY.

There is a, so to speak, matter of coun-
ty pride to be settled with the 10th con-
gressional district by the county of
Augusta on November End. We are
anxious that it shall be settled to her
credit. For the FIRST time in forty years
Augusta has one of her own citizens up
for congress. She is. one may say, to
vote for the successor of the distinguished
Alexander 81. II. Stuart, who was her
representative that many years ago.
What sort Of vote does she intend to give
her next son in line? She can give James
Bumgardner Thirteen Hundred majority.
The Democratic votes are here to do it,
will they be brought out. This week the
canvass may be said to make its beginning
in Augusta. It will be short and we trust
thoroughly alive. but we want something
more than that-we want the Democr ats
to take an individual interest in the
neighborhood canvass. That is the Inch
pin of every success. That was the thing
that won the freedom of the party in the
State in the remarkable fight of 1883.
If any citizen of Augusta county were
called on to fix on just the man whose
name would inspire an active neighbor-
hood canvass, he would name James Bum
gardner. He has been a neighborhood
canvasser himself in this county for fifteen
years, without any Office in view and
without being candidate for one. For
pure love of the old Democratic party and
its principles, James Bumgardner has
been speaking at every schoolhouse and
every village, year after year. He is as
we'll known to the active Democrats Of
Augusta as the courthouse building itself,
and his friends among them are legion. It
is to these active men that we must look
for bringing cut the vote November I'd;
and to do it they must begin noao. Ten
days is long enough to put precinct in
perfect marching order. Your wagons,
your challengers, your election day run
ners, should all be selected in the first
three days and the other seven devoted to
neigborhood canvassing in your precinct.
We must not fall into the error that,
because we always cast a strong Demo-
cratic majority, and because our candidate
is personally popular. there is less
need of work; on the contrary. there is
more need of it to counterfeit the apathy
that giows out of what is supposed to be
certainty. 1t would be very Notifying
in an election to see candidate get a
better vote in another county than bis
own-at least it will be to us in Augusta
il such should be the case in this election.
an active canvass in their Deighborhoods
at once. It is very little work to man
acquainted in his locality, but it is work
that needs being done thoroughly and
promptly,

Mrs. Stricken of Page county, ten
dered coupons to the tax collector. The
collector refused to receive them and sold
her COW for taxes. She brought suit in
Judge Bonds U. S. Court at Richmond
for $4,000 damages. The jury gave her
nine dollars damages, exactly the amount
of her tax bill. The costs, $146. are paid
by the State. The plaintiff gets not a
cent of the costs, W. l.. Royal, counsel
for the plaintiff, moved the court to set
aside the verdict as inadequate, but Judge
Bond overr uled the motion saying that
he could not invade the province of the
jury, though he disagreed with the YER
dict. The Rondholders and their allies
aftersa few more ex periences in the Fed
eral courts like this, will find that they
had better fund under the Riddleberger
bill if they want to save even the bonds
themselves.
The Richmond dispatch" says that
Deputy Treasurer s. G. Tinsley, the
Treasurer of that city. has notified Audi
tor Marye that he will not levy for taxes
where coupons we're rendered, as another
legislature might repeal the law creating
the indemnity Board. and his bondsmen
be at the mercy of new laws. Mr. Tinsley,
If he can't obey the laws Of the State
should resign. No legislature elected in
Virginia in the next fifty years will repeal
any law directly or Indirectly tending to
aid the enforcement of the Riddleber-
ger bill. Still, officers who cannot obey
the laws of the Commonwealth should
resign in favor of some who will.

Our contemporary, the "Valley Virgin
ian," has long. been pronounced advo-
cate Of Virginia being aligned with the
National Administration. and it has
drawn some effective pictures of the value
of such alignment. Now is the time to
put it into practice. The National Admi-
Distration at Washington Is Democratic,
the administration at Richmond is DEM
ocratie, and to fall out the list we must
have Bumgardner from the 10th district.
To vote for Republican member of con-
gress is to vote to separate Virginia from
the general alignment with the adminis-
tration everywhere.

LET THE PEOPLE POUR OUT.

Judge W. A. Hudson, Chairman of the
Democratic County Committee, has, with
his unsual energy, started lively cam
paign in Augusta to run through the next
ten days. He has not Wearied the people
out and wasted their time with a long
campaign, but calls upon them now to
give ten active, ten-hour-a-day days to
the cause of Democracy. He las arranged
for addresses all over the county every
night next week, and we hope the people
will pour out in large numbers to these
meetings. His list of appointments will
be found elsewhere in this paper.
The ball will be opened by mass meet
ing next Monday (court day. in Staunton,
at which Hon. Eustace Gibson, of W.

The Critic, paper edited by colored
editors in this city, asks the Republican
politicians a hard question. Tt says:
We do not understand the moves being
now worked in some of the Republican party.
Here the St0te Republican is advocating the
support of the Independent democratic candi-
date of Rockingham county by all of the Re-
publlcans of that district, e th). We must not
vote for democrat unless we are told by
white republican, and then it is all right. We
have always advocated independent thought
and action upon the part Of an individual
voter, and this is one point to prove whether
he knows how to vote Or not. If the State
Republican can tell republicans to vote for
Roller, why not tell them to vote for Jas.
Bumgardner of the tenth district, as the Bum
gardeners are as good as the Rollers if all are
democrats. Are there two classes of, demo-
Gratis? Please classify.
There is a good deal in that question:
but another given by the same editor is
still harder to answer. He asks why,
when Gen. Roller runs as an Independent
Democrat he is spoken off by the State
Republican as gentleman "of fine capaci-
ty, of most generous and amiable ma
ture." and when Prof. Langston of Pc
tersburg is spoken Of as likely to be an
Independent candidate in that district,
he is alluded to as ''playing the part of
Negro Professor and the professional
Negro with great success" The colored
men of Virginia will find, alter they learn
more of politics, that divided between the
two great parties, they will receive more
consideration. from both than while fol-
lowing either one solidly.

1t was as we expected and said. The
General Assembly of Knights of Labor,
neither among its white nor colored men,
bers. has nor had any idea of starting no
social equality anywhere. At its session
in Richmond, Saturday, it adopted the
following:
whereas reports have been circulated
and Impressions have been created by the
press OF the country regarding the posi-
ton OF the order of knights of Labor
upon the question of social equality: and
whereas we believe the welfare Of the
order IN the South requires that this Cen
eral Assembly take such action as will dis
pei these wrong Impressions: therefore,
"Resotue0, That the organization of
knights OF Labor recognizes the civil and
polltical equality of all men, and in the
broad field of labor it recognizes no dis
function on account of color, but it has no
purpose TO interfere or disrupt the social
relations which may exist between differ
ent races In any portion of the country.
Assembly 40 of Brooklyn body con-
tanning, it would appear. good many
cranks on this subject, continues its social
utilization with the blacks at Richmond.
The other night some colored men gave
them banquet, at which three white fe-
male delegates we're present; but the
colored females of Rjchmond were con-
splcuous for their absence. A Virginia
colored woman at home, can better size up
the value of such demonstrations of
Northern people when away from their
home than she has generally had the cred
it of being able to do.

The questions on which the next congress
will have to act, are of paramount Importance
they come home to every mans interests,
and reach into every mans household. Among
the most important of these is whether the
burthensome taxes imposed to pay the cost Of
an exhausting war are to be continued in time
of peace, for the benefit of few monopolists.
Time will not allow me to refer to others, but
this of itself ought to be, and I think will be,
sufficient to bring to the polls every man, who
has in his breast spark of the old fire which
kindled in the breasts of our Revolutionary
fore-fathers and impelled them to resist even
unto death Ubiquitous and tyrannical taxation.
There is yet another question which is like
ly to force itself on congress. allude to the
labor question. This will require calm and
wise consideration. Rashness in treating it
may lead to disastrous results. I believe 1t has
mainly arisen from the dislocation of the rela-
lions of Capital and Labor caused by the re-
suits of the late war. Prior to the war the
labor of the South, which was unskilled, was
dedicated to agriculture and the production of
the raw material for the labor of the North to
convert by the various processes of manufac-
ture, into shapes useful to mankind. There
was consequently no competition between the
labor of the sections and therefore no cause
of discord.
All that has now been changed. The Chinese
wall between the North and the South has
Teen broken down--Northern immigration
has flowed into the South-a new spirit has
been infused into our people-our mines have
been opened-our forests have been fslled-
our water power improved-new railroads
have been built and the general means of
