70 tie Editor Of tic NincA Valley
Nc,os.
Sir:-I desire to call the atton.
ton of the legnl voters of Tuzewcll
county 10 the following letter of MIR.
W. l.. Penn, one of tho registrars of
Henry county, Va. This letter states
that application has been made to
Mr.. Penn for transfers To this county
by men whose permanent homes arc
in Henry county. All such applica
tons for transfers are in violation of
tho law, and il successful would snb.
ject tho persons procuring them to
the penalties of the law. Not only
are efforts being made to procure il
legal transfers from other counties
TO this, but efforts have been made
and still are being made to regist er
by persons who are not entitled to
register.
Tazewell county has been noted in
the past for the fairness of her cleo.
tons; i'll fact SO strong has been the
feeling among our people that cleo
tons should be fair and honest bal
lots counted that there never has
been II suspicion of unfairness or il
legal voting in the elections of this
county, and honest men of all parties
ought to sec to it that our good rep
utation does not suffer, and that 10
illegal votes be cast. 1t is notorious
and known of all men, that the no
SrOes from other counties who arc
engaged in the construction of the
railroad through this county, arc
here for temporary purpose, that
all, or the most of them are register
cd i'll tho counties whore they per.
manently live, and where their fami
lies now reside, and under the law
are not entitled TO register or vote in
this county. Should these men per
sist i'll the effort to register and vote.
they will do SO in violation Of law,
and thus neutralize The ballots of the
honest voters and defoat the will of
the people. Let us have fair cleo.
ton and M honest count of the bal.
lots. and thus make known tho will
of the people.

Dear Sir There are good many
negroes from this and adjoining
counties Of Virginia and North Caro-
lima mt work on the railroad in your
county, and the Republicans are try
ing to get them transfers so they
can vote i'll the coming contest in
your district. have several appli.
cations for transfers from negroes
whose families arc living in this
county, and who regard this rs their
home. 1t seems that man by the
name of Hoyt Warren is running the
machine i'll your county.
Yours Truly,
W. l.. Penn.

HON. JNo. A. BUCHANAN.

On Tuesday last hundreds of Dom.
ocrats had come to town to hear This
distinguished Virginian speak on the
issues of tue campaign. 4'he court
room was densely packed, but not
all could gain admittance. His repu-
tation rs man well posted ON the
tariff had preceded him, aud many
an honest citizen gave eager atten-
ton to more fully learn the best i'll
terosts of himself and country.
Mr.. Buchanan spoke as ono so
thoroughly convinced of tho right
cousncss of his cause as to lose sight
OF all personal OF partisan considera
ton. One would not havo known
from his speech that he was candi-
date fer Congress, for he never al
luded to himself or his candidacy.
There was but the one theme he
proposed to discourse, viz: Are the
people taxed too much? And he
not only proved it TO be SO by lem-
onstration, but also from the mouths
of those now fighting the reduction
for lack of any other issue with the
party.
No space is here to report his
speech III full And it is to be re
GREETED, for it would mako one OF
the strongest campaign documents
ever published, But SO plain, rca-
sonable, logical and connected was i.
That every fortunate hcarer carries a
synopsis Of it in his mind, and will
not forget it OH the occasion of cast
ing his ballot.
Though he never alluded to him
self i'll connection with scat in Con
gross, not man, of either party
left the room without the conviction
that John A. Buchanan in Washing
ton would make representative Of
Virginia fearless, able and true
Then it was, doubtless, that mer
wished there were no such thing rs

their impulse to DC for the people
and the peoples candidates as
against monopolists, trusts and taxa
lion.
In closing his address he mad,
rncntion of the candidates, Cleveland
and Thurman. The applause thai
greeted his mention of the courage
honesty and ilnpartiality of Cleveland
was only. equaled by the burst of ell
thusiasm that followed quotations
from the Old Roman, when, in tho
dark days of reconstruction, he
raised his voice for Virginia and Vir
ginians,and whom he refused to npol

that we have 1orgiccm the wrongs

do not ask us to forget that Allen G..

1t is a great pity that Democratic,
non office-seeking speakers could not
have been sent to every precinct in
Tazewell. The great rank and file
of the people who are not looking for
political preferment, could be easily
shown that it is to their interest to
have their taxes reduced. None of
them are so simple as to believe that
they can grow rich by paying S47.OO
tariff on every $4,000 worth OF
goods they consume and wear out.

1t is not surprising that the colored

OF centuries Of servitude, should put
up with these outrages thus tamely,
but it is little singular that the white

1T COULD NOT HAPPEN NOW.

Ere country ways had turned TO street,
And long ere we were born --..----
A lad and lass would chance to meet,
And often she'd neglect her task,
The willows bowed 70 nudge the brook,
The cowslips nodded gay,
And he would look and she would look,
And both would look away.
Yet each-and this is so absurd
Would dream about the other
And she would never breathe word

Would re-srrange her hair,
And ponder long before the glass
Which bow she ought 10 wear;
And seldom care to chat,
And make her mother frown, and ask:
why do you blush like thatr'
And now she'd haunt with footsteps slow
That mead with cowslips yellow,
Down which she'd met week ago
That stupid, staring fellow.
Our girls are wiser now.
Twas very quaint, 'twas very strange,
Extremely strange, you must allow
Dear me- how modes and customs changer

And as for him, that foolish lad,
He'd hardly close an eye,
And look so woe-begone and sad,
He'd make his mother cry.

was not safe for ths Confederates to

white Republicans united with the col
