In General Mahone's District.

1t appears that the Republicans Of the
'pSlirth Congressional District Of this
State are to hold a convention at Burke
vile on July 3oth to nominate candi-
date for Congress
The Fourth is General Mahone's Dis
trict, and his influence there is great.
IL he consents to have nomination
made at Burkeville, that will be public
notice TO all the world. or so much
thereof as may be interested. that the
policy which he advocated at the late
meeting Of his State committee at
Washington has been abandoned.
From our reading OF the Republican
elsewhere-it is their judgment that their
party should make a straightout fight
against the Democrats IN every hope
full" Virginia district this fall.
From the beginning the Dispatch has
been of the opinion that our old
enemies were organizing TO meet us at
the polls IN November. OF course Ma
hone will be their leader. A straight
out fight" will be popular with Virginia
Republicans. not so much because they
are sanguine OF electing any congress-
men from this State. as becau:e they
want to be recorded in a favorable light
should the Republicans come into power
at the next presidential election.
If our conJectures prove correct, few
If any districts In this State will be left
to the Populsts this fall In each dts
trict there is a Republican OF some pro-
minence who is willing to accept the
candidacy for Congress in the hope that
there Will be a resurrection OF the
grand old party" and that he will then
become entitled TO recognition" SO we
shall probably have a pretty lively fight
in Virginia this year. our campaigners
may as well be prepared for it. We
must make ready to win the victory, no
matter whether the battle Is TO be
joined under the Walton law or the next
best IaW-the Anderson Mccormick law.

Does the Dispatch mean TO say that "

that a would be so declared by our
courts?-The Spirit OF the Valley Repub'

BY no means. but our Supreme Court
may be OF that mind. 1t did not agree

Anderson Mccormick law, and hence the
members OF the General Assembly

though the Walton law IL an improve

the latter has worked very satisfactorily

Georgia.

The withdrawal of General Evans from
the field leaves Mr. Atkinson without
competitor, or. in other words. Is the same
thing as placing him before the public
as the nominee Of the Democratic party
of Georgia for Governor. We cannot but
regard General Evanss withdrawal as
indicating victory for the ad-
ministration party, though the papers
that are called anti-administration
papers have hardly entitled them
selves 70 be thus styled. The At
lanta Constitution of Saturday last said
that General Evans and Mr.. Atkinson
were both free-silver men. and that II the
anti-free-silver men Of Georgia voted at

In the winter people dress warmly pc

Now. where most people make mis-
take Is in not guarding against these
sudden changes quickly and In time ANY
man or woman who has on light SUIT

brings a chill should at once counteract
the chill. This can only be done by the
use OF some pure stimulant. not gingers

medicinal whiskey that will do this, and
that is Duffy's Pure Malt. IL has ior

Ever since The Century published Gen.
eral ID. Ii. HIPS article on "Stonewall"
Jackson, some months ago, anecdotes Of
the great soldier have come from his
friends and from those who served un-
der him. w. NJ. Taliaferro sends from
our Soldiers Home TO the July number
Of The Century a story Of Jackson's
taciturnity and his self-abstraction. In
the summer Of 1862, while Mr.. Taliaferro
was doing duty at Jackson's headquar-
tiers few miles north OF Richmond,
he was told to get his horse and accom-.
pany the General on q ride.

sation about the Incidents connected
with the terrible Seven-Days' battle we
had just fought, but falling TO elicit
anything more than short negative or
Affirmative responses. l changed the SUBJ

Still meeting with no better success, I
relapsed into complete silence, deter

the road at a fox-trot. or rapid walk.

some proposition which to the Generals

Objections to the Anti-Option Bill.

Hon. Franklin Bartlett, of New York,
made last week the following points
against the Hatch bill. This bill will be
fully discussed in the Senate before 1t
becomes a law. Mr.. Bartlett said, OF
course. much more than We have here
quoted from his speech. Although there
Is hardly possibility that the Senate
will touch the subject during its present
session. senators may ponder the points
made by Mr.. Bartlett. He said:
1T seems 10 me that the right to make
a contract 10 sell wheat, or cotton, or
lard, or pork, or any of the commodities
referred TO in this bill, in the future.
should be just as free as the right which
every citizen has in reference 10 every
other executOry contract. He should have
the right TO sell wheat and cotton just
as much as you have the right to sell
the leather before 1t is tanned or TO sell
the wood before 1t Is hewn. You cannot
take that right, thus held under the Con-
stitution. from any citizen. You may as

shall make promise 90 pay money UNI
less he has the money in bank at the
time he makes the promise: and II he
makes note which natures in three
months he shall not be permitted 10 have
power TO make a settlement with his
creditor. You may as well deprive him
of that right, and deprive all citizens
Of their rights. just as we'll as TO under.

Illinois.

United States Senator Palmer. OF I'LL
no.s, has Just written an open letter 10
one of his constituents In which he proves
himself TO be In fact gold monometaii'st'
though he expressly says: II do not favor
an exclusive gold standard" Mr.. Paimers
correspondent had written to him that the
silver question would be before the next
Deuocratic State Convention June Hth)
and would be the main subject OF conten-
ton In that convention. Mr.. Palmer ih-
yokos the name OF Cleveland to bolster
him I'D in his monometaliist views. lie
says:
"rhe nomination OF Mr.. Cleveland py

Illinois reconstructed the political geogra-
phv of the United States. Betore thh'

We infer from Mr.. Palmer's whole letter
that he regards Cieveland's name as
name to conJure with even In lllinoi9-
Mr.. Palmer says further:
mir. Cleveland had been rejected oy
New York, and he was nominated hot
only as "A tribute to his integrity patriot
ism. and craftsmanship, bu; as protest

ouont triumphant election indicated The

vention. 49,.
.'rhe Democratic party Of Illinois there

state convention ought to incorporate in its
nla,forn principles Of broad nationality
II cannot. therefore. i think. commit u
self 10 the free coinage OF silver al the
present legal ratio of sixteen OF silver 10
one Of gold"
And finally Mr. Palmer lays down the
following statement as axiomatic
1.-THE money which Is cheapest and most
easily obtained will be used and will dis
place that which Is more highly valued"
This axiom Mr.. Palmer ought to impress
upon the minds of the Hoosiers who ad-
vocate the policy OF establishing State
banks TO issue circulating notes which will
take wings to themselves and fly TO the
uttermost corners Of the earth. never
resting where there are national banks or
national notes, or money acceptable in
business circles.

II was a festive little calf
That left his home behind,
And went a-traYelling 10 improve
His somewhat bovine mind.
He walked into his masters home'
And took a glance about;
But not a thing did he see there
That he could quite make out
And when he felt his appetite
Beginning for 10 grow,
He tried 10 eat the buds that on
The papered wall did blow.
But finding that this diet was
A disappointment sore.
He tried TO taste the carpet greens
Upon the parlor floor.
But these he found were quite as vain;
And so II came TO pass
He saw twas better FAR for him
To go again to grass,
And leave 10 other creatures, quite
Distinct from his own kind,
