Testimony m Walker Case.

The Washington correspondent
OF the Alexandria Gazette says:
The testimony of negroes taken
by Congressman Walker, at q ne
groe's room, in this city, to he
used in his contest for the seat to
which Judge Rhea was elected
from the Ninth Virginia district,
proved veritable boomerang.
The hearing closed this morning.
According TO the witnesses. the
Virginia negroes here believing
that their white allies i'm Virginia
had not dealt fairly with them, de.
termlned to oppose them, and that
1t would be better for them that
there should be a solid Democratic
delegation from their State i'm the
uext Congress, in order to show
that they constituted the main
strength of the Republican party
In their State, and that, without
their support there, the Republi
cans would be Insignificant; also
having nominated candidates of
several of the districts there. and
having no money oftheir own with
which to carry on the necessary
expenses of the campaign they
had called upon several Democrats
ior help, among them the Vir.
ginlans IN Congress-, and some of
them had given them a little
money to pay their travelling ex.
penses. Among them Senator
Martin, who gave them SO: Repre-
sentative Rixey, who gave them
-; Representative Jones. So: HAY
80: and others like amount. That
congressman Lamb gave them
nothing, and that MIR. Swanson
wouldn't give twenty five cents TO
keep every negro out of hell
Judge Rhea, who defeated Walker
they Swore, would not even an.
swer their letters.

TIE Campaign On.

The campaign in the spring
elections may be considered to
have actually begun. Candidates
for the principal Offices have an
nounced themselves, and have al
ready begun to interview the vo
tiers. The contest for County and
Circuit Court clerks promises at
this stage of the proceedings to be
a very lively one, unless somebody
is ''choked Off before May LIST
The offices of Treasurer and Com
mOnwealths Attorney have no OPP
position, so far. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Jas, Bandy, deputy sher-
iff, will be candidate for sheriff
1t is John and Jim one term,
and Jim and John next term
Opposition to this tickst is spoken
of, but no one has publicly declared
his candidacy in opposition. There
are a numb Der of candidates for the
district Offices already In the field,
and more to follow. An examin-
alton of the list will show a small
very small mum Der of Democrats,
so far, who care to make race.
What we wish to advise in the
beginning is, that Democrats wait
awhile before pledging their sap
port to any candidate for any of
flee. Something may develop in
the campaign which may embar-
rass the man pledged. Don't be
in hurry.

A Successful Agent.

We share with rest of mankind
an aversion to agents-book agents
especially, and when Mr.. VIII,
Written walked in upon us on yester-
day we suddenly became very busy
too busy to talk or hear him talk.
FOR we had made up our minds not
to buy book. But, buy book, we
did. When we examined the book
he is selling we found it far superior
to anything on the market, in our
judgement. He had about sixty
names of the best people, who have
subscribed.
We bought the book, and do no I
regret it. The book is an epitome of
history, ancient and modern profuse-
yillustrated. If youhaveano ppor
tunity get this book. certain.

Local Obligation.

what men call patriotism is ONLY
a broader term for that feeling
which all good men have for their
homes and firesides.
OF course we all love our splen.
ana country, and the more we
know of our country the more
splendid it appears in comparison
with others. 1t is a narrower
KIND of patriotism, though, of
which we speak for the moment.
1t is that local pride which makes
a man love his immediate sur.
roundings, and advances by all his
efforts the interests of his own sec
ton.
There is too little of this feeling
In our people, and the interests of
our immediate neighborhood have
suffered greatly from it.
We should buy from home mer-
chants, employ home help, and
encourage home industries.
Wherever this feeling is best de-
veloped, there you Will find the most
prosperous communities. The best
Illustration of this, perhaps, in the
world, is in Utah, aud particularly
salt Lake City, where the feeling
OF local pride and common interest
is probably stronger than any.
where else on earth, and where its
beneficial results are the most
marked. The people of Salt Lake
never send abroad for a thing
they can get at home, and this has
a tendency to stimulate every
branch of industry.
We do not mean simply that our
devotion t. local interests should
be confined to commercial trans
actions. We should let it improve
ihe roads. The schools, thc churches.

1.-The Beginning of Sorrows.

Last week, as a candidate for
one of the County offices wrote his
check in payment of his bill for
his announcements, he made this
significant remark: "This is the
first check l have written in this
campaign, / wonder how many
more / will have to write before
1T is Over?" The reply was made,
'My friend, this is only the begin
ming of sOrrow:sn Correct! Be-
fore the gentleman reaches the
office to which he aspires he will
be forced to write his check many
times, and he expects, of course,
to do so. Not that he believes in
buying votes, or corrupting the
ballot box by the use of money,
(for be is an honest man, but he
knows, as all we do, that the
use of money in elections is COM
mon, and customary, and that no
man can hope to be elected with
out its free use.
The gentleman above referred
TO will be elected-unless his op
ponent should, perchance, have a
larger bar'l, and then the inevita.
bic will occur.
1t is not pleasant, or compli-
mentary to our people to make
these admissions, but everybody
knows they are true, and further.
more, recognize the great evil and
corrupting and demoralizing influ-
ence of the custom. Not in Taze-
well, only, but in nearly all COM
munities, this fearful evil exists.
The evil is recognized but. tolera-
ted in silence, by even good men.
The question has been asked.
"Why don't the preachers cry our
against this sin?" They preach
against whiskey, gambling, dane
ing, and other evils, but this
worst of them all, is seldom mrn.
toned, and it is doing more 10
corrupt society and undermine
governments than all these evils
perhaps, bined.
This is an evil whose repetion
becomes necessary with every re
curing election. If a mans vote
was purchased in the last election
the same man must be bough this
spring, or he will vote the other
way. In every election can be
seen the dispensers of the election
funds, buying their own men
members of their own party. or
claimed as such, at least.
When man sells his right of
suffrage he opens the way for the
incoming of any crime, however
enormous, and not less culpable is
the man who buys the vote. A
current is, started which may, and
In all probability will, flow pn,
bearing everything IN its course.
INTO the sea OF ruin and death.
But, alas, how futile seems to be

Solicitor Cahoon said that when Devine

hearing was ON tho charge of assault with
intent to commit murder.
The court said that there Was no ques-
tion therefore hut that the testimony CIV
en- at the hearing ON. the morning after
Dcvine's arrest was given In another case.
Therefore the evidence given at the hear
Ing on that charge was not to be consider
ed in the testimony given at hoarng on
