fered the following:-
Whereas large element of the co!ored
people of the South are dissatisfied (and
this dissatisfaction is a leaven which ia
spreading) notably in Virginia, where in
meeting assembled they have complained
that they are defrauded of their rights at
elections; and whereas the mutual conf
dence of the races in one another is essen
tial to the happiness and prosperity of a
community; and whereas the Republican
heart is full of tender sympathy for them on
account of their being so defrauded of their
rights; and whereas this sympathy can be
so much more inteligently exercised if
they hBve than near at haud than when
they are SO far away; and whereas (since
government vas formed for society md net

the social and political abric the latter riust

Resosred, That our representatives, in the

THIS resolution has a threefold object in

3. To get rid of the fearful strain unon

The Comfy Highways.

During the years 1887 and 'eS the i'm

building bridges over the streams in Au-

thoroughly discussed, and if ever there were
propositions clearly understood and decid-
eddy approved by the people of the county.
these were. The designs progressed, but
are not completed. One certainly, if not
two, bridges over the large streams will
come in with the execution as determined
on.
If it is not the purpose of the people of
the county to undertake the permenent i'm
provement of the roads upon larger scale
than the annual tax in money and in labor
provides-much of which is lost by insult
ficiency of funds to complete what may be
commemorative the next best plan to
carry on progressive work is set forth in
the application of the commissioners of the
District Road Boards to be furnished with
q stone crusher, which will be, alternately,
at the service of each of the Boards until the
round of annual work shall be completed.
This is stop in the right direction, and the
benefits will be- apparent, that afterwards
the people will ask the county government
to make more ample provision for the pub
bic needs and the public benefit. The
money and labor expended annually, which

inanfficiency of means to complete a well
arranged design, that would be permanent
and lasting, would pay the interest and
provide sinking fund upon an amount
that would at orce equip the county with
the best of highways, durable. and requir-
ilg but slight repairs to keep them in that
condition through all the future.
The District Road Commissioners have
wisely taken in the situation, and, if the
crusher shall be-as we are sure it will be-
furnished to them, the people will soon
snow and be satisfied as to the true course

Hon. John W. Daniels Address on Davis

Hon. John W. Daniels Address on Davis.
In Richmond, on last Saturday night, U
8. Senator John W. Daniel delivered his
address on the life services and character
of Jefferson Davis. 1t was the States tri.
butte to the memory of the Confederate
leader as the Grafton was delivered in re-
Spouse to aresolutioo of the General Assem-
bly,. Mozart Academy, which seats 1900
people, was crowded to its utmost capacity
and thousands of people were turned away.
Members of the legislature and many dis
tinguished people from different parts of
the State we're on the stage. The Senator
delivered and his remarks were constantly
interrupted by applause. DR.. Mipnege
rode, the old pastor of President Davis, was
present and was moved to tears when the
speaker SO touchiugly referred to the com
munion which was given Mr.. Davis by his
pastor while incarcerated in q cell at For
tress Monroe.
This Grafton is very long, consuming
more than two hours in the delivery. It is
very able as well as a very eloquent pro-
duction, and the distinguished orator did
credit to himself as we'll as honor to the
great character that formed the subject of
his Grafton. It covers a wide field, and
each and every subject embraced in it ia
ably and clearly presented, and it furnishes
conclusive vindication of the course pur-
sued by the South and the leader whose
life and character it SO truly and eloquent
ly portrays.
Senator Daniel concluded his admirable
Grafton as follows:-
I'VE but forecast the Judgment of the
years to come when we pronounce that JEFF
ferson Davis was great and pure as states
man, man and patriot. In the eyes of Him
to whom thousand years are as watch
10 the night, the war and the century in
which it came are but as a tick of the sec
ond hand of time and when the myriads
of this great land shall look back through
uDclouded skies to the old heroic days, the
smoke and stain of the battle will have
vanished from the hero's name. The chief
tain of the men who wore the gray will
stand Def IRE them with countenauce like
the lightning and iu raiment white as
