The Eranch Vlsitors.

We have said that the Count of Paris in
his History of the Civil War in America ="
took the coloring of his surroundings and
wrote from a northern bias rather than
from the calm and unprejudiced view of a
foreigner. This is to be regretted, but n
different result could hardly have been
expected. He came TO this country to be
an observer of military events and the
people with whom he was thrown succeed
cd in converting him into PARTISAN.
With the history of the United States
he was but imperfectly acquainted and Of
the political movements which eliminated
in the war those with whom he was thrown
into contact kept him in ignorance.
After the publication of some of his
volumes and when he had obtained access
TO Confederate records he practically adj
mitted. as we understand. that he had not
done us justice and expressed the desire to
hear our side of the story. With this view
he became life-member of the Southern
Historical Society and q reader of their
publications.
II seems understood that the Count is
now acquiring information to enable him
TO revise his books. If he wishes Ito have
the reputation OF an impartial historian he
should certainly do so. If this is any part
of the purpose of his visit here he can se-
cure very valuable help. At any rate, he
will find our people courteously disposed
towards him.
We do not understand that there is TO
be any ceremonious reception given him
and his ellow-travellers. but the gentle
men with whom he has communicated
will be sure TO take excellent care of him,
and arrange so that no NAV see to best
advantage our city and the battle-felds OF
the neighborhoodr

West Virginia.

The Administration seems determined to
make desperate effort this year to wrest
West Virginia from the Democratic col
umn and place II in the Republican line.
We trust IL will be disappointed. No such
effort stands shadow of chance of success
unless supplemented and sustained by
frand.
One among the many plans for overpow-
ering the Democrats is 10 introduce into
the State crowds Of negroes from the far
South, but this is feasible only where our
people refuse 20 take the commonest pre-
cautionary measures. In State Ike West
Virginia strange negro ought to be de-
tected as soon "a he appears at the polls.

THURSDAY. OCTOBER 9. 1890
The Norfolk District.

The Democrats OF the Second congress
sionsl district give evidence Of pluck and
sagacity both in determining TO contest
the congressional field with the Republi-
cans.
We do not believe that all the power at
the command Of the Federal aGmlnistra-
tion can induce the white Republicans TO
support Mr.. BowDES with any degree Of
unanimity. Herepresents the force-bill; he
stands condemned by LAsGsroN's praises
flor the Professor claims that BowDEN
stuck 10 him through thick and thin. and
he is In full sympathy with the most hate
full measures contriyed by our enemies.
He went to extremes whittier WILLIAM
MALONE would not venture. and The con-
sequence is that he and the little General
are not upon the most adectionate terms
of relationship.
The Democrats enter the contest under
the leadership Of DR.. JoHs w. LAWSON, of
Isle OF Wight, man calm and iudicious,
earnest and courageous. and weIl-equipped
with all the qualities of head and heart to
inspire the devotion of his supporters
and to dispirit his opponents. There Is
good reason TO believe that he will be
elected. TO this end we hear that the
Democrats Of the Second district will work
with all that zeal and determination which
have distinguished them III the mighty
contests they have waged with the public
enemy for twenty years past. Judge
MURpAuGH. who contends with Mr.. Bow
DEN for the Republican vote, Will receive
the support Of many men of the party who
are dissatisfied with Mr.. BowDES's course.
The Democrats will, however, work
along without regard TO what the Repub-
lcans may say OF do. Our simple plan Is
to organize well and cast our entire vote.
Many white Republicans will join our
ranks; and we have high hopes that DR..
LAWSON will be able to poll the Democratic
strength with unprecedented unanimity.
The Norfolk correspondent of the Wash
ington Post, who writes in an independent
vein, and ascribes tho nomination of DIR.
LAWSON 10 the Farmers Alliances, says
Notwithstanding the fact that the Sc
cond district ordinarily gives the Republic
can nominee a majority of from 5000 to
5000 votes, Congressman George r.. Bow
den, who has been renominated 10y his
constituents, has big fight on his hands,
with possible dereat staring HIM in the
face. There is probably more patronage
for a congressman IN this district to divide
than in any other district in the United
States on account of the 5000 appoint
ments in the navy-yard and the selection
of the innumerable life-saving and light
house crews, which he practically con-
trolls. As in every other Government Of
fee there have been four or five times as
many applicants for these places as there
are positions. and the result is small
army of ofice-seokers, backed by a strong
reinforcement of Malone followers oppo-
sing Mr.. Bowden's reelection and support

IlNCOIN,S MELANCHOLY.
His Sympathetic Nature and His Early
Msfortunes.

Those who saw much of Abraham Lin
coin during the later years of his life we're
greatly impressed with the expression OF
profound melancholy his face always wore
In repOse.
MIR. Lincoln was of peculiarly sympa-
thetic and kindly nature. These strong
characteristics influenced very happily, as
it proved, his entire political career. They
would not seem, at first glance, to be eiil-
cient aids to political success; but In the
peculiar emergency which Lincoln IN the
providence Of God was called to meet. no
vessel of common clay could possibly have
become the "chosen of the Lord"
Those acquainted with him from boy
hood knew that early griefs tinged his
whole life with sadness. His partner in
the grocery business at Salem was " Uncle"
Billy Green. of Tsllula. ILL.,, VINO used at
night when the customers were few TO
hold the grammar while Lincoln recited
his lessons.
told the story of his love for sweet Ann
Rutledge: and he in return offered what
comfort be could when poor Ann died,
and Lincoln's great heart nearly broke.
After Ann died." says Uncle" Billy,
ION stormy nights when the wind blew
the rain against the roof Abe would set
thar in the grocery, his elbows on his
knees, his face IN his hands, and the tears
runnin' through his fingers. | hated to
see him feel bad, an I'd say. Abe, don't
cry;' an he'd look up an say. / can't
help it, Bill, the rains fallin on her."
There are many who can sympathize
with this overpowering grief as they
think Of lost loved one. when 1.-THE
rams fallin' on her." What adds poig-
nancy to the grief sometimes is the
thought that the lost one might have been
saved.
Fortunate, indeed, is William johnson.

June IS. $780, Last February, on return

complained of having pain in her ankle.
The pain gradually extended until her en-
tire limb was swollen and very painful to
the touch. We called a physician, who
after careful examination, pronounced IL
disease Of the kidneys of long standing.
All we could do did not seem to benefit
her until we tried Warmers Safe Cure;
from the first she commenced to improve.
When she commenced taking it she could
not turn over in bed, and could just move

We think that public convenience has
hardly been as much consulted as it might
have been in making the improve
ments at the intersection OF Main and
Seventh streets. The work has been per-
mitted TO proceed too leisurely, when 1t IS
remembered that hundreds OF vehicles
have thus been forced TO take more CIR
cuitous routes and sleeper grades. Nor
was it considerate to take up simuita-
neously the sidewalks on the north and
south sides of Main street between Seventh
ana Eighth. One side at time would
have been better.
