TRAVESTY ON HONESTY AND DE-
CENCY.

If what the Republican newspapers in
the Ninth pistrict have been publishing
recently is really true copy of the ballot
used in Scott county, we unqualit1edly
condemn its use at the polls as an outrage,
despicable and indefensible. We were
shown what was claimed to be a Scott
county ballot by local Republican. 1t
had no impress of the official seal nor any
thing about it to identify it save its like
Less to what is being published as the bal
lot used. If such is the case, evidently
some one violated the law IN securing the
copies, but this furnishes no excuse for
such travesty on honesty and decency.
If the ballot being circulated is fabrlca-
ton, Scott county Democrats owe tito
themselves and their people to expose the
canard.-Pearisburg Virginian.
We are glad to see an ultra Demo
cratic paper like the Pearisburg Virginian
placing the seal of condemnation upon the
outrageous ballot used in Scott county. No
honest man can defend it, but we have
seen Washington telegram sent to the
Richmond Dispatch, and copied into the
Lynchburg News, which undertakes to de-
fend what is wholly "despicable and indie
fensible."
From what We can learn, ballots equally
Objectionable were used in other counties
of the district; and we have reason to be-
lieve that Rheas managers designed the
Scott county ballot and made efforts to
have a similar ballot used in other counties
This "travesty on honesty and decency'
originated with Rhea's machine. and they
are the only persons who are now under
taking to defend the ballots.
The ballot which has been published ai
fac simile of the Scott county ballot is nc
fabrication. A gentleman who lives in
Tazewell sent copy of the Tszewell RE-
PUBLICAN, which published the ballot, to o
relative in Scott county and asked him il
it was correct representation. The Scott
county gentlemen wrote that the official
ballot was worse in form than the copy in
the REPUBLICAN. The Tazewell gentle
man had doubted that such a ballot had
been used at the election in Scott. He
doubts no longer.

Judge Shlras' Joke.

An eminent lawyer, one Of the most
eminent in the United States, was in the
midst of an argument in defense Of the
patent rights of his client to a newfangled
collar. button that was being unlawfully
manufactured by the people on the other
side of the case, Gays the Chicago Record.
The distinguished counsel was describing
the patent referred to and its many advan-
tages when Justice Shiras interrupted him
and in most serious manner observed:
81 should like to ask the learned coun-
eel il his client manufactures collar button
that won't roll under the bed
Of course, the court was shocked. Some
young people in the seats reserved for
spectators Uttered, and the marshal, rap
ping on his desk with his gavel, roared,
"Silence in this honorable COURT" The
eminent counsel maintained his gravity,
although his soul must have been deeply
stirred, and had presence of mind enough
to turn the incident to his own advantage,
saying with emphasis:
II have the honor to inform the court
that the collsr-button manufactured by
my client is unique in that as we'll as in
other respects, but my client would not
be 30 selfish as to patent 80 important a
benefit to mankind"

In discussing the bill introduced into
the Georgia Legislature to reduce the APP
preparation available for negro schools to
an amount proportionate to the tax paid
by that race, the Atlanta News asks
"What an attitude would we occupy be.
fore the world if we should dsfrahchise the
illiterate and then abolish their schools ?"
A very indefensible attitude. The caring
for the negro rests with the Southern
white people. They must school them and
give them employment. Considerable
nonsense comes from the North, Boston
particularly, and occasionally some money,
which 10 often ill.advisedly spent, but the
burden rests on the South. 1t is heavy,
but it must be borne. Nashville American.
The South will lose nothing by being
kind to the black man. We send money
to the remote corners Of the earth to con-
vert the heather and educate them, and
we say that in so doing we are doing Gsd's
work. How then can we consistently
withhold our aid to tie black man at
homer 1t would be cruel thing on our
part to shut the black mans children out
of the public schools, and whenever we do
it, be sure that our conscience will lash us
numerically Richmond Times.

RANK TREASON (2)

Last week an Industrial Convention was
held at New Orleans. Among the promi-
nent men who attended the convention
was General John B. Gordon, of Georgia.
The Governor of louisiana made the ad'
dress of welcome and General Gordon re-
piled. In the course of his remarks Gen.
eral Gordon said:
whatever the people of the South have
been in favor of in the past, they are no
longer in favor of a narrow or contracted
national policy. They are in favor of the
Nicaragusn Canal, of the open'door in the
Orient, of carrying their blessings to the
benighted brown peoples of the East, who,
some day, will rise up and shout aloud
hosannas to God that the flag Of the Stars
and Stripes has been admitted among
them"
Commenting on these expressions Of
General Gordon, the Richmond Times
said: Had that sentiment been express.
ed sixty days ago it would have been re-
garded by extreme party men as rank
treason to the Democracy. But it is none
the less true that General Gordon has ex-
pressed the general sentiment of the
Southern people on these points"
The Times may be correct in its opinion
that General Gordon expressed the sentl'
ment that generally prevails at the South,
but he has not expressed the sentiment OF
those who dominate the politics OF this
section. The politicians of the South and
the professional Confederates, who feed
upon hostility to anything that savors OF
Republican policy, will consider General
Gordon's expressions as rank treason to
the South.

WHO STOLE THE BALLOT.

The Rheaites are greatly disturbed to
know how the Republicans came into
possession of one of the Scott county bal
lots. Some of them venture to intimate,
but do not 90 further than to intimate,
that it was stolen by some Republican.
We have always noticed that dishonest
men uniformly regard all other men as
dishonest. In this way we are disposed
10 account for the suspicious of the Rhea-
ties.
If the ballot was stolen, who could have
been the thief? The official ballots from
the time they were printed until they were
destroyed on the eve of election were in
the exclusive possession of the Democratic
officials. The county electoral board turn
ed them over to Democratic judges of
election, who handled them at the polls
and in the booths, as no Republican judge,
SO far as we are advised, was permitted to
mark ballot in Scott county. Do the
Rheaites see the pointF If the ballot was
stolen it must have been taken by one of
its custodians.
We have also noticed that burglars al

A VICTORY FOR HAY.
Chinese Proposals Settled on the Basis
He Proposed.

A dispatch from Washington to the Bal
timore Sun says American diplomacy,
it is said here, has averted world strife
over China and insured the preservation
of the empires integrity if the agreement
reached by the foreign ministers in Pekin
is carried out with scrupulousness in detail
as Secretary Hay will insist. The authori'
ties have been greatlv encouraged by the
exchange of views which has occurred
among the powers, but it was not until
tonight that they felt justified in making
known the following important develop
ments which have taken place
The powers have agreed that it would
be injudicious to insist upon demands
which China would be compelled to reject
and which would make necessary renew
al of military operations.
Under instructions issued by the govern

yesterday formulated demands in accord.

States, Russia, France and Japan and

tant step toward peaceful solution Of the
Chinese question that has yet been taken.

FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

We are informed that Hon. D. F.
Bailey will be candidate for United
States District Attorney for the Western
District of Virginia. He is worthy from a
party standpoint and qualified profession
ally to fill the position.
We are not advised as to whether there
will be other candidates from the Ninth
District for the place; but do not hesitate
to say that if Mr.. Bailey should receive
the appointment it would give perfect sat-
isfaction to the Republicans of this district
and insure a faithful and efficient dis
charge of the duties of the responsible po-
sition. By his devotion to the interest Of
Republicanism, he has won the friendship
of the masses of the party, and by his
ability attained distinction in his pro-
fession that we'll qualities him for the office
of District Attorney.

PUBLICITY.

We note that the "Annual Statement OF
the Financial Condition of Fairfax county,
Va, )" is printed item by item in the FAIR
fax Herald. This lie in accordance with
the act approved February Goth, 1872,
which provides that the Board OF Super
visors of each county shall cause to be
made out annually, Immediately after their
meeting at which the county levy lie made,
statement showing the aggregate amount
of the receipts and expenditures of the
year next preceding; also a statement
showing the aggregate amount allowed for
the next succeeding year to the officers OF
the county and for incidental and neces-
sary expenses of the county; also that an
itemlzed statement of incidental expenses
of the county, not embraced in the items
designated, shall be prepared, and that
copy of such statement shall be posted al
the front door of the courthouse and at
each voting place in the county, or pub
lished in one or more newspapers OF the
county, or adjacent county or city, US the
board may direct.
This is good law, and We think that
the authorities of Fairfax have done well
to print the statement in the county news
paper instead of simply posting it on the
courthouse door and at the voting places
Every citizen should have a copy Of such
statement to take home with him for his
careful perusa. He should study it item
by item, and he should call attention to
any item or items which seem to him to
be mproper or extravaganza. Ii Is the
sort of publicity that keeps the Taxpayers
informed and keeps the officers of govern
ment up to their duty. The taxpayer has
the right to know, and ought to know,
Just how the public fund is being dis
bursed, and the disburslng officers ought
in Justice to themselves, to have the op'
portunity of making public exhibit
Wherever there is secrecy in public mat
tiers there is apt to be suspicion and nc
honest man loves to be under suspicion. Ii
costs very little to have these statements
printed in the county papers, and every
county in the State should follow the ex
ample of Fairfax. There ought to be ne
secrets between the officers of government
and the taxpayers. All transactions in
volving the expenditure of public moneys
should be made public, and if this rule
were rigidly observed there would be les
of carelessness and of corruption in dig
charging such trusts.-Richmond Times
We have been requested by promlnen
citizens and large taxpayers to publish th'
above from the Richmond Times, and in
woke the favorable attention of the BoarC
of Supervisors of Tazewell county. Tit
law is good one and every taxpayer IL
every county should have an opportunlt!
to know what disposition is made of thu
revenues of the county. What the Time
says on that subject is we'll said, and w
endorse its views.

Publication of imperial proclamations
throughout the empire for two years, di-
recting the suppression Of the Boxers.
Of prime Importance in this agreement
are the demands for punishment and in.
demnity. Germany, from the outset OF
the trouble, had insisted that only the ex-
ecution of the responsible authors OF the
outrages would save her wounded honor,
and the Anglo.German agreement caused
the British government to support the
same view. 1t was this attitude by Ger
many and the vindictiveness of the foreign
ministers who had undergone the Pekin
siege that caused the adoption by the rep
resentatves of the powers Of the original
demands requiring the execution OF the
responsible authors of the outrages and
the payment of an indemnity so exoroi-
tant that it was apparent it could never be
collected. In fact, the ministers went 30
far as to present an ultimatum requiring
the execution of IL officials and princes.
This plan was unsatisfactory to the Presi-
dent and Secretary Hay.
In diplomatic circles here the modified
agreement is regarded az the result Of keen
diplomacy by Secretary Hay, and he is
given the highest praise for the success OF
his work. The agreement will now be
handed to the Chinese ENJOYS and negoti-
atoms regarding the details will begin.
