Sir,-Sosn after the death of John Quincy
Adams. which occurred at the Capitol in
Washington while he was member OF the
House Of representatives., resolutions In
honor Of his memory were passed 10y several
organized bodies. Resolutions OF that cha
Tacter were introduced in the Virginia
Legislature, but opposed on the ground that
Mr.. Adams had IN Congress on a specified
occasion uttered sentiments on the subject
OF southern slavery that were abhorreDt 10
the southern whites. ] should like 10 know,
and perhaps there are others to whom the
information would he scceptsble-0) Who
introduced the resolutions and what were
theyf (2) Who opposed them and what
we're q obnoxious sentiments uttered by
Mr.. Adams? On Were the resolutions pass
ed or defeated? end any other facts that
throw light on so interesting an historical
question:
A SUBSCRIBER TO WEEKLY DISPATCH.
Fredericksburg, December IL, 1888.
Mr. ADAMS bad made himself odiOus to the
southern people by presenting petitions for
the abolition OF slavery in the District OF
Columbia, by warning upon the institution
Of slavery, and in other WAYS. We cannot
specify any particular resolution or action OF
his winch had rendered him unpopular in
Virginia. We recolsct that Governor GIL
MER, OF Virginia, 10 his speech In the House
OF Representatives characterized MIR. ADAMS
az man
"Who In the course Of one revolving moon
Was poet, statesman, nddler, and bunoOn."
MIR. ADAMS Was all these except the last.
The southern people hated him, we think we
NAV say. We don't suppose that dozen
members Of the Virginia Legislature would
have dared to vote for q resolution eulo-
giving him even after bis death.

Our Woodstock contemporary, noticed
elsewhere ia these columns, agrees with us
and with Colonel O'FERRALL, so II saws. We
like the language and quote It: " We believe
with Colonel O'FERRALL." owe believe
with the Dispatch" And so we believe with
the Vlrginiau and News when It says:
"Therc f. time and place. everything,
and nothing fails ike thing Outoi time and
place.
al we know anything It IL that neither
the virginia Legislature nor Governor can
make or unmake the tariff or anytsriG The
Legislature does not elect 4 United States
senator. In no way has the Legslatufeto be
elected 10 help or binder the tariff Issue that
caonot be- better accomplished in other ways
"What we want Is platform OF state
issues, short, concise. clear, and aggressive.
We want document that means business
and talks business. We want State issues
only. virginia. II appears TO Us, has bad
her hands full In attending to her own In
torests. We cannot legislste, and 1t Is not
wise to recommend legislation to the United
States Government or The universe. Let us
take care OF hone iuterests-State tssues-in
the State government. We have our full
representation Ia both houses OF Congress,
and we should relegate 10 that body the
dutie. delegated 70 it by the Constitution.
" We are not surrendefing one iot n our
l0w-tarilf views. We are a. firm NJ Colonel
O'Ferrall in maintaining that tariff reform
must not be abandoned. On the contrary II
must he pressed more vigorously and sys-
tematicslly than ever. We are simply for
fighting for tariff reform only where it can
enectually be fought form Congress, and
do not believe in dissipstng our energy In a
de.ultory and demOraliZtng warfare In cam
psign where 1t can never be but subsidiary
and minor issue. We are for ii In the sea-
son appointed for 1t.
"The best plan IN our Judgment ia to
leave the tariff issue out OF the state cam
paign and press it vigorously in the cam
paigus where 1t naturally belongs"

What il the difference between tariff OF ~

duced the uiterances OF a goodiy number OF
our State exchanges belonging to the Demo
cratic party, but 10 none o, them - the point
better stated than in the following paragraph
from the Culpeper Observer:
"what shall be The question Ia the State

cohorts rode into power. 1t would be ex-

The real question Il, Shall wealth and intelli-
geHce retain control OF the state or poverty
and ignOraoce take possession? 10 this the
Democrats should ind the cement TO hold

Of all individuals and parties"
There Is the cement that Is TO unite us

ought to keep US from 6dding whilst
Rome II not burning is at least In danger
OF burning.
Let this be the watchword OF The party
and victory will certainly perch upon our
standards next November.

CHE COMMISSIONERS REPORT
On the Condition of AnAirs in Logan Coun.
ty-Tho Trouble Between the HAtaOldS
and MooOys Temporarily oVsr-A
Frssh Outbreak Nay Occur.

CHARLESTON. W. Va, Jan. 3l.-Col W.
L. MAhon, the emissary whom Governor
Wilson sent to Logan county q week ago
to inquire into and report upon the now
famous Hatfield. Mccoy vendetta, made
his report to Governor Wilson to-day, and
1t Is as follows:
81 visited all the Hatfelds, and found
them to be good, lAw.abiding citizens, who
have the respect and confidence Of every
one in the neiGhborhood; that while
many deprsdRtions have been committed
and the whole surrounding country has
been in state Of excitement and tumult
bordering on q genuine young war,
peace has again been restored and the
Dellgerent parties on both Hides hRvs-dis-
banded and no further trouble is antici-
pated. The strangest part Of the whole
affair ID the fact that the Hatflelda and
and McCoys are related.
"Therecent outbreak seems to have been
caused by parties in Pike county, Ken
tucky, resurrecting old indictments against
the HRtieldg, which were found five years
ago. The Pike county parties went To
Frankfort, Kentucky, and had rewards
offered for the HsttiElds, and came into
West Virginia under the guiss OF officers |
Of the law, when in reality they had no
and arrested Tor rather kid
napped) Thomas Chambers, Andrew Var
ney, shelkirk Mccoy D. D. Mccoy, Moses,
Christian, Samuel, D. D. apd PLANT Ma.
hon, and Valentine Hatfield, took them
over to Kentucky and placed them in the
Pike county jail, where they are. still con.
lined. The party, headed by Frank Phil
lips, fired on and killed old man Vance,
without as much as calling on him to sur
render, and are the same parties who
came over into this State and fred upon
Constable Thompson and posse, at which |
time q deputy and another man were
killed.
"The citizens of Logan state that had
any parties other than these sent been
called upon to make the arrest, no blood |
would have been ahed, but the McCoYs,
who came with Phillips to make the ar.
rest, had sworn 10 kill the HRtfelds, and
would have done 80 after they were dis.
armed"
Peace has been temporarily declared,
but 1t is feared by the law abiding people |
Of the two counties that hostilities will be
renewed before great while. The
trouble began during the war. The Hat
fields were in the Confederate army and
The McCoys In the Union army.
