Til after night fall, they decided to

The senior editor of tho Tazowell
Republican, can verify the above state
ment us we had conversation with
him on this subject several days be
fore he turned from his false argu
ment onthe Walton Law TO his yeno.
mous attack on the editor of this pa
per, and know rs we'll who the writer
was as we did ourselves. Then talk
of hypocrisy.
W. are also aware of the fact that
Mt the spring election, some of the
constables were guilty of fraud, but
we do not think that makes them all
dishonest. In most of tho counties,
mentioned in tho Republican last
week, Republican Commemorative
Attorneys were elected at tho spring
elections, and if they do not sum
mon the parties who arc cognizant of
these facts, rs the editor of the Re
publican seems to DO, is it the fnult
of tho law or of these Republican of
ficials.
My dear Mr.. Editor, l am sorry
to deny you the pleasure, but you
will fail to see that great aud bloat.
ed piece of wisdom wilt like Jonah
.gourd,' ns the quotation you make is
not in the Walton Law, as furnished
by the Secretary of tho Common,
wealth. If you have mislaid your
copy and cannot procure nnother,and
your self esteem will permit Of it, we
will permit you to examine our copy
for yourself, or any one else who
wishes light on this subject, as wo
do not ask you to take our unsup-
ported word for tho above statement
but have tho "documents" to prove
that this matter has been wilfully
nisropresented, of course, not by the
editor of tho Republican, MS we are
certain that he believes just what he
wrote on the subject.
You are right, the elections laws
would not deter such man "a the
editor OF the News from coming hore,
but there is one thing wo would say in
this connection, that, whereas tho ed
itor of the News camo to Virginia
and has staid hero from inclination,
the fellow Mt the head of the Rcpub
lean was, of necessity, forced upon
this grand old State to commence
with, and, in the language of Topsy,
'just growed up
In conclusion wo would like to say
that the News is tho inouthpieco of
no ring nor in the pay of any patty;
that we are trying To make II living
and desire the patti onago of the PEG
pie, irrespective OF party; that lilo odi
tor will do his best to give his readers
Il good, clean paper, but that lie does
not propose to be "browbeaten" by
anyone. What you sec in the News
will be the views of tho editor, not
what we arc paid TO publish Beg
ginG our readers pardon for giving
so much space To this matter, aud
trusting that we are we'll known
enough TO most of them to leave our
reputation safe in their hands, secure
from the attacks of the penny a liner,
who prosides mt the helm of tho edi-
toriai department of the Republican,
we will bring this controversy, so far
as we arc concerned, forever, to an
end.

Democrats of Tuzowell to get to

hot between this and the election
That tho race may not he won in u
walk by our Republican opponents.
Perhaps we may not get there, but
then we have the consolation OF
knowing that it was not our fault
that we were defeated. We will new
er be in a position to win if we keep
on as we have been doing in the past
letting the other fellows take ev-
erything without n tussle.

protested against his admission by
withdra wing from his seat.
Legouye, another member Of the
Academy, 4 famous author of novels,
plays and poems, and also free-think-
ing agnostic, once told an anecdote
about Littre which attracted the at
tention of the editor of the New York
Christian Advocate He wrote to Le-
you've, asking if the anecdOte was true.
The following came in reply: This his
tory is absolutely correct"
This is the story: ''LegOuve says that
shortly after Littre's daughter was
born he Qittre) said TO his wife:
My dear, you are good Christian.
Bring up your daughter in the ways of
rel. gion and piety which you have al
ways followed; but l must exact one
condition. and that is that when she is
fifteen years of age you will bring her
to me. | will then explain my views to
her. and she can choose for herself"
The mother accepted the condition,
years rolled on, the fifteenth birthday
of the child soon came, and the mother
entered her husbands study.
You remember what You said 10
me, and what l promised said she.
Your daughter is fifteen years old to-
day. She is now ready to listen to you
with the respect and confidence due
10 the best of fathers. Shall l bring
her int'
why, certainly, replied Littre. But
for what special reason: TO explain
10 her my views, Oh. no. my dear; no,
no. You have made of her Il good, af-
fectionate, simple. straightforward,
bright and happy creature. Happy,
yes: that is the word that in pure be-
ing describes every virtj:-.
And you fancy that | would cover
al that happiness and purity with my
ideas, Pshaw. ny ideas are good
enough for me. Who can say that they
would be good for her: Vino can say
that they would not destroy or at least
damage your work: Bring her in. 50
that ! may bless you in her presence
for MI that YOU have done for her. and
- that she may love You more than
ever
II. too added Legouve. n the close
OF his little anecd0te have around me

consider myself criminal if | trou-
bled their religious convictions with
my doubts and my objections. espe-
cially when | know that they find in
those convictions nothing but joy, con-
