We would like to know now whethc
these gentlemen, who are candidatesfc

greenl ackers arc informed of what tb
policy of the New York World is on thl
question. There is uo paper in lb

the howl ol civil service reform ant

away with every thing that toil and
sweat and bloou can produce.
This same WoKLD sold cut the party

missions of the former as its editor, in
Order to keep the people in slavery, and

If Judge Hauls and Mr. Tinker can ex?
plain their endorsement of this organ of

The yellow fever is steadily decreasing

Reply o? Jud?re Harris to (?en. Echols't
Card.
Fellow Ci'ii'zck.?:?It bns been my
misfortune or good fortune, as the
may be, to have bad the unceasing hos?
tility of certain politicians in this district
since the inception of my political life,
But It is my cheerful duty to congratu*
lute the people of this district as well as
myself, on the tact that this latter day
canvass has been emdubtcd with more
regard to the proprieties oi life, than
any of its predecessors. Two years age
a forlorn hone of "the disaausned" con?
cluded that they had perfected all the
arrangements and combined all th? ele?
ments for my defeat. They held seen t
caucuses vigorously. They tormed al?
liances, offensive and defensive, of the
most bewildering description, and con
spired deeply and earnestly to mak
common cause against me.and toobtai
and embellish by their superior politic,
wisdom, the seat in the National Con
mas, with which for some time yo
have seen tit to houer me. The peopl
believing me to have done my duty
have vindicated me emphatically in th
face of this factious opposition, an
their Industrious efforts have anly Big
uaily miscarried. To illustrate Iwi
feats ago, I received a letter fron
Cbarlottesvillo, containing this express
ion:-l have learnedjthat 'ieu. Ecbois ant
Win. A. Burke ofStaunton. have beet
here expressly to form a couibinalioi
for your defeat." Strange to say, lliesi

CHABLOTTESVILLB, Sep. 28, '7-.
??I.en. Kchols and Urn. A- Burki

Kchols la the man."
This telegram proved co rrcct, forjsc
boou as the General's loot touche?
Staunton soil on Ins return Saturday
evening, he said I am a candidate for
i ongress, and that evening the motoi
press flooded the city with his circulais,
So that it was the politicians of Char
lettesville that constituted "the vot?is
from the various portions of the district'
that solicited the (?enera! at this late
day to run for Congress.
if I am not mistaken in the temper of
the public mind. Ibis little combination
will share the fate of its predecei
lor I intend to give people an opportu?
nity of expressing their will regardless
of all caucuses and cliques, whether in
Harrisonburg, Staunlon, or Cbarlettes
ville.
But to the General's circular. I may
flrst congratulate mvsslt ami the peoph
that he docs not dare to altaek any vok
I ever gave or any sentiment I have ut?
tered during my term of seven years iu
Congress, but is only apprehensive as to
the tuttire. lie cannot lind any error I
have committed, or any wrong perpe?
trated on the people, This proves
there is n? jusl cause for making a
change.
The General alludes to two questions
the public debt and the currency, and
while ho defines the position ?!' others
with great force, he utterly laiis in eithi r
to define his own: INo one de?
limit Gen. Ech?la has talent o: a
high order in his line, but h<
constituted as to be unable or unwilling
?press his views clearly on these
questions on which there is a
different e of opinion in the public mind.
To illustrate, In: again repeats tl,.
si ng of compromise with the credi?
tor.- thesoughe sang so sweetly when
he was acaud?late for the Legislature,
and then says this can be done within
the pr?sent rate of taxation! This is
. lyreadjuster proposes to do. The
latter proposes by law to say Y
is nol able to bear an incn a-" o; tax,
and she Is willing to readjust the
and pay all the ?.;e ?ntrate of tax will
zeaccording to the Barbeur bill.
to work upon the
of the creditors and satisfy them
they can get no more ami thus compel
them by ?? to accept that
-um in satisfaction of their claims, for he
knows a- a class they will demand ?very
t If Ihey can get it, and when they
agree to take !c-. it is only In
they cannot avoid it. And this ?s
??called" honorable and friendly negotia?
tion.
It i- to the creditor forcible readji ?'?
ily driven to it b
he cannot get the whole. But when arc
these negotiations to end? They have
been promised for thittcen years, and
not a single oiler has been made by the
creditors as a class, or by any considera?
ra. The Gen. wholly
fails to tell us. He can drift along on
that non-committal and high BO
form formany years to come. In
the mean time, what is to become ol
our state government, our charitable
and educational institutions, our si '
our unpaid teachers-perhaps ho would
enter into "friendly negotiation?" with
them?while our debt is growing daily
and the State committing the "disg
ol misapplying tbe school fund, until
now it has robbed that fund ol about
eleven hundred thousand dollar.-. Bui
we receive seme consolation Irom the
General, wherein he says if we have to
meet the debt it will ??not be as op?
pressive as the advocates of forcible re
adjuslmt ?it arc in the habit of represent
in-."
How can you do it without increasing
the taxes for that purpose. Why
smother it with vague generalities? why
not state explicity what you propose to
i\o. and when you propose to do it ?
Why not come squarely down like
those in favor of paying the last dollar
and advocate an Increase of tax to what?
ever amount may be necessary to pay
the interest on the whole fifty lo seven
ty-five per tent, or on the other hand
joui with theBeadjusters who favor th<
absolute control by the State of her
revenues, the maintenance of her edu?
cational and charitable institutions, in
short the preservation of her very exis?
tence a- a Commonwealth and thus
give to the people peace and prosperity
and to ?he Halls ol Legislation fret
from this vexed question.
thi; CURRENCY.
In regard to the currency the Gener?
al is equally as unsatisfactory as to his
own position, while ho greatly misrep?
resents mine. I have constantly said
that I (did not think we had money
i novgh to answer the wants of the
try, but that great caution shsuld
lie observed in its expansion lest we
might go boyond the point of a sound
and stable medium. That as contrac?
tion had brought ruin on the country. I
and am in favor of reversing the
action 9\ the govi rnment and Increasing
the currency until we reached the point
ofa healthy circulation and as there
was no mode of ascertaining just ?here
inflation would begin, that experiment
alone could detenu,ne the question.
The General is again indefinite in the
statemont that be lavai- as far as pa-si
hie a return to the "principles Of finance
which were understood and practiced
by the Fathers eftbe Republic." Does
bl mean he favors shin plasters, repud?
iation or making contracts payable in
tobacco, all of which were ''understood
and practiced by the Fathers for what
does he mean?
Near Iva years ago in a sneeeh on
this question in Congress I eloeedwilh
the following summary :
It lias boon my effort, Mr. Speaker.
to shew that all legislation lor internal
revenue looks to the protection of tin
capitalist and the couse pi. n: destructteu
of the prosperity of the producer?la iu
the Interest of money which has x\<*
iak value, and against labor which
is thft so!?- foundation of wraith.
it baa been my effort te anew that
the national hanking system has cen?
tralised the money of the country in the
c tics, and that distribution ot its citen*
lation has by unfair discrimination de- '
phled and impoverished the South an
West and enriched and mad.: despoti
the New England Btatei ami the grea
commercial cenicre, and thai the on)
remedy is to repeal all legislation tha
looks to the protection of money; tha
Ugal tender* be tubtiituted fin- national
bank current;/ in amount .
meet public dem ndi. and that all unfai
discrimination against labor and th<
products of the seil be abandoned.
I am glad to know my views then ex
pressed have ii come the policy of ;
great party. What the General's opin
ions are as between greenbacks direc
from the Govern men I and Xatiomi
Banks, do one knows. The true laso
is. abolition of the National Banks an
the substitution of Green
amounts sufflcenl to n store the country
and here I may as well be one of lb
Bnil OU II i will stale this wil
be before thencxl Congress. How wi

reads, "ko member bjiall voti o:

Interested that he could no) vote on
question to abolish 'nis ewn Bank an
his prccuniary ofllce. Upon - I
rule-audits propriety, the general wil
have to withdraw from the Hauk or fron
