Martinsville, Va, Oct. 24-The Repub-
licans have walked up in this county and
we have the remarkable spectacle of
United States deputy marshals, deputy
collectors. gaugers, &c. riding all over
the county and copying registration books
for the use Of the Republican party, and
in case the registrars do not tamely allow
them permission to copy their books they
are threatened with prosecution and legal
proceedings. It is the most shameless
use OF Federal officers to do work for
their party, and 90 it in their capacity
as officers. ever witnessed. And this is
but q forerunner of what we might ex-
pect il the Force bill should become a
law. What these fellows want with a
copy OF those books Is not known, but
the inference is they want to pick out

In view Of the great hulabsloo raised
over Rev. B. F. Foster, of this city, Secur-

that we have read private letter written
by that gentleman q few days ago to

has charge Of two official galleries, in
which he says, parenthetically, there are
no spittoons. He gets 81 q day, and gets

for assisting him. For the information
Of the very hypocritical fellows who so
freely criticised him he says, the "Chief
Of the cuspidores" gets salary Of 81, 400

Foster has other business in Washington
this winter which he Is attending TO suc-

fluence Of southern member, and not by
the Kansas members.-AR6GHee Tribune.

pretensions, and calls attention not to the
sex of the worker, but to the quality of the
