A friend on the south side writes to us
letter from which we make the follow
ing extracts

Democrats in virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia, and Alabama to say nothing OF
Louisiana and South Cardinal who ia

Government is against the internal
revenue laws and in favor of tariff ton
imported goods to raise money to de-
fray the expenses of the Government,
aud so Mr.. Randall is now nearer Mr..
Jetferson's idea" &c. &c.
We, too, like some features of Mr..
RANDALLs bill. He proposes to abolish
all internal taxes on tobacco, including
cigars, cheroots, snuff, cigarettes, chew
ing and smoking tobacco. Also all taxes
on dealers in leaf tobacco, dealers i'll
manufactured tobacco, peddlers of to-
bacco. manufacturers of tobacco, manu-
facturers of cigars. &c. He also pro-
poses 10 abolish all taxes upon spirits
distilled from apples, peaches, and other
fruits. Now, these changes are exactly
what the Democrats of Virginia have
declared for in several Of their plat
forms but there are other features
of Mr. RANDALL's bill with which the
people OF this State would not be so
much pleased. Upon sugar he leaves
the tax as it is. Alr. WATTERsON will
endorse this feature of his bill.
But, as we have had occasion to say
several times recently, man must be
willing to concede something to other
peoples views before he can be recOg-
nized as a statesman. The new tariff, if
we are to have one, must be acceptable
to the gentlemen who united with Mr.
MnLs in framing his bill.
Now if We were in the House of Repre-
senatives, we should be willing to vote
for every acceptable feature Of any new
tariff bill that might be oflerred-one

POwHATAN. March IS. 1883.


PowHATAH, March IS. 1883.
In orr last communication relative to
the railroad now being built through our
county. it was written SO hurricdly and
iudistinctly TO appear that Major Whit
ney was the able and accomplished en-
gineer in charge, and that the contract
ors up as far as this place were Messrs.
Vandrown and Shotter when the name
of the engineer is Major Whiting, who
was on the staff of General Rodes during
the war, and the names of the contractors
Van Doren and Strother. Mr.. Van Do
rem represented Albemarle in the House
OF Delegates session before last, and is
the author of the Van DOren act. The
name Of the Buck and Came road is also
incorrectly printed. This once famous
highway, along which tobacco was rolled
and afterwards hauled by the road wagon,
an inland ship drawn by four horses
with bells on their harness and a big bull
dog trotting under the bottom driven by
stalwart wagoners with long whips and
loud horns, is now generally called the
Buckingham road, but this is not correct,
Rs it bore its true name before Buckiug
ham county was named after the country
II sldence of Archibald Cary. When
Willis river and Willis mountain were
known as Buck river and mountain, as
they abounded in deer, it was by this
road, which does not 80 into Bucking-
ham county, but into Prince Edward at
Farmville, the bucks and other game
were carried to Manchester, then known
as Rocky Ridge and then larger than
Richmond. We do not complain that
your type-setter could not decipher our
writing, for we are like the lawyer of Tit
tlebat Ttmouse in Ten Thousands Year,
who had three kindso handwriting-one
so plain that any one could read one
that no one except himself ana his clerk
could read, and another that 10 one on
earth could read.
The only news now afoat here is that
young Mr.. Cardozo last court-day, very
late in the evening, was shot by young
Tucker, who was drunk, and fired a pls-
tol indscriminately into crowd. The
shot went into Cardozos leg. 1t has not
as yet been extracted, but he is consider
ed ont OF danger. ID.
The foregoing will prove to be very
interesting to Southsiders.

unjust may be this charge, the confiden-
tial circular recently published by him
urged the adoption OF the unit rule in
connection with support of Mr.. Sher-
man, and thus gave countenance 70 TINT
idea. That unfortunate paper has ar
rayed against the unit rule thousands
who were indifferent about it before. To
go into that convention now and pass
that unit rule will give great color to the
charge that the delegation was packed
and the whole thing cut and dried by
machine methods. No reasoning and no
argument will remove that impress
sion. No matter how fairly it may
be done, it will lose the Repub-
licnn party thousands of votes in
the election by the charge, amounting
to belief and conviction in the minds OF
many. that the Republican party of Vir-
ginis is not really party, but mere
machine manipulated by 8 few peo-
ole who handle it as q child does
Jumping Jack. Feeling all this
knowing whereof / speak as he can
not know i'll have begged General
Malone and his friends to abandon the
idea of urging it. have begged him to
drop the contention as only forcing a
factional feud at the outset OF our cam
paign when it can so easily be avoided.
| have begged him to do this for the
good OF the party and to smother the
natural inclination TO make a fight for
his own ideas which the opposition to his
views may excite. He knows that did
so as his friend and as Mr.. Shermans
friend. If he has not been convinced
that / am right | certainly have not been
convinced by him, and nothing re-
mains for me but 10 urge my views
before the convention. | trust it may
not lead to any unkind feeling on his
part. 1t shall not upon my part. l have
known General Malone too long, and
am personally too deeply attached to
him, TO let these differences on questions
OF party policy ALLEVIATE me from him or
impair my regard and respect for his great
abilities and services. | have no patience
with the mean assaults made upon him by
members OF our party. But / look upon
the approaching convention as marking
crisis in the affairs of the party which
may lead to results very injurious to 1t,
and incidentally to him. and it is my
duty, as see it, to take this ground.
l shall be glad to have the views OF
our friends on these questions, and hope
that those who agree with me will urge
the endorsement Of them in the primary
meetings.
Above all / beg our friends that in Sc
lecting delegates they will send as their
representatives to the convention sober,
earnest Republicans, who make up in
character what they lack in "genius.
We have An abundance of material in
the party to supply real representative
body from the people. With such | be
lieve we can harmonic all our differ
ences and restore to our party the unity
which not long since won for US victory
after victory.
Respectfully, JOHN S. WISE.

present plan of party organization, RS
adopted in 1884, so that you may COM
pare it with the proposed plan and see
how unfit the old plan is for any party

The Richmond Exposition.

The Portsmouth Times speaks kind
" word in behalf OF the State Exposition
proposed to be held in this city next fall.
III saws that it "should have the interest
and cooperation Of the people Of the en-
tire State; that "other cities and
States have found them of the greatest
benefit to trade, commerce, and I'M
provement, and we in Virginia have so
many resources and such admirable ma
terial to work upon that We should
achieve something both creditable and
profitable" The Times says:
New Orleans has he'd no occasion 70
regret the large OUTLAWS made for this
purpose, and very soon began TO count
the returns from the investment, and we
not only have additional motive for the
venture. but additional material for it.
"Nirgipia combines most Of the adyan-
tages without the disadvantages of the ex-
tremely southern sections, and can offer
more 10 the purchaser of lands. SO
much OF our land lies waste. large plan
tations neglected for lack of means and
effective force, or impoverished by too
much cultivation without some return 10

variety of fruits aud products, the cen
trail position as regards distances and

Mr.. Wise's Letter.

We publish this morning character
istlc letter from Hon. JONI S. WISE. 1t
contains some phrases that will live. Mr..
WEE is, next to General MALONE. the
most influential man in Virginia with
the masses Of the Republican party. We
do not know that he will not he borne
down by the little tyrant; but
we are inclined to believe that he
will not He has great strength
with the negroes-just where Ala
HOMES greatest strength lies-and
therefore it cannot be said of him as has
been said of other leading Republicans
who have broken with MALONE, that be
has no voters at his back. Mr.. WISE is
trusted by numerous bands of "the
colored cohorts, and will make it lively
for General MALONE in the approaching
Republican State Convention.
Mr.. WISE writes what he evidently re-
CARDS as a conciliatory letter. If we
might compare small things with great.
We should say that he read carefully
BIsMARcK's last great speech before
writing his letter, and modelled the let
ter after the speech. He will not fight
General MALONE unless the latter shall
render such contest unavoidable. He
will only arm himself and stand on
guard.
OF course the little General is not
going to stand "that sort of nonsense. "
OF course he will let Mr.. WISE know
that he will "brook no rival near the
throne" OF course lie will turn Mr..
WISE over to the Blaineites, and defy
him TO do his worst.
And these Blaineites, what are they
going to do? Well, here is the man
they have been looking for. Here is the
leader of whom they have so long felt
the need. Here is one Republican who
is not afraid "to beard the lion in his
den. the DOUGLAS in his hall" Let
them grid up their loins and follow their
new-found leader in his march upon the
capital of the enemy. The citadel will
have been taken if WISE and his follow
ers capture the State convention.
1t is not for us to commend the new
plan of organization proposed by Mr..
WISE. General MAHoNE's plan would
probably work out better results for the
Democratic party and, therefore, for the
whole country than MIR. WIsE's.
