JAMES BUMGARDNER, JR.,
Chairman County Committee. .
Col. James H. Skinner.
This gentleman, who is an able and
eloquent debater, and a Democrat intus
et in cute, and was a gallant Confederate
soldier, who lost an eye in the service,
is prominently presented as the proba
ble nominee of the Democratic party
for Congress in this District in opposi
tion to the Bepublican, John Paul, who
never fails to vote with the most ex
treme Radicals in Congress. Should
Col. Skinner receive the nomination,
the banner of the Democratic party
will be placed in good bands, that will
carry it gallantly through the canvass.
We know of no one whom we could
support with greater zeal, or who would
represent the Democratic party with
more ability and eloquence. He is a
gentleman in the full sense of that ex
pressive term, and would be a candi
date whom every Democrat could sup
port with earnestness and zeal.
We wish it to be understood that we
are in favor of tbat candidate, without
reference to personal preferences or sec
tion, who, in the opinion of the Con
vention, shall pbssess the greatest popu
lar strength in the District. This Dis
trict should be represented by a Demo
crat, and not, as it is how, misrepre
sented By a man who votes uniformly
with tbe Bepublican party, as does
John Taul. He lias deceived the Dem
ocratic Readjusters once—that was his
fault; if he deceives them again, it will
be their fault.
The Spectator is wrong again, as
usual. In his remarks on Monday,
Mr. Blair did not say that the "asylums
would hereafttr not buy their drugs
and hr.ms and flour, &c, from Funders,
but from the farmers, the producers."
What be did say was tbat the State in
stitutions would not hereafter buy allot
their supplies from the Funders. He
specially emphasized the all, which di
rectly combats the idea the Spectator
intended to convey. We hope our con
temporary will do Mr. BHir the justice
to correct its error.— Valley Virginian.
We certainly had no intention of
misrepresenting Mr. Blair, and do not
think we have done so. The idea con
veyed by his words was the same as
given by the Spectator, and were so
understood by all who heard them, and
were specially applauded by the Read
justers.
Though we took down his words at
the time, we are willing to grant tbat
he used the word all and "emphasized"
it, but do not see that it makes any dif
ference as to the idea he intended to
convey, viz., that the public institu
tions, under charge of Readjusters,
would make it a special \ point to buy
from Readjusters. _ V
By the way, it sti'*-»' >^ti y aH a little
strange that our neighbor of the Vindi
cator makes no mention of this "em
phatic" all in its report of Mr. Blair's
remarks, and still stranger that the
Virginian in its report makes no notice
at all of Mr. Blair's assertion about the
trade of the institutions. The only no
tice made is the separate paragraph
above quoted, and in that it does not
attempt to give Mr. Blair's words, but
merely its own Interpretation of them.

The Bond Swag.—What has paci
fied the Whig and turned away its wrath
from the brokers ? Will wonders never
cease. Here is tbe Boss bowing down
to the brokers of the New York Stock
Exchange! But yesterday the Boss,
through his organ, was condemning
brokers as the worst of men. The bro
ker was a Shylock, with knife and
scales, ready to take the pound of quiver
ing flesh. To-day the brokers ofthe New
York Stock Exchange are the men to
i whom the Boss looks for guidance., All
this talk about the bonds printed by the
Kendall Company being depreciated
because they are not admitted to the
New York Stock Exchange is mere
bosh. The ten-forty bonds were never
permitted to go on the New York Stock
Board, yet were securities ever more
willingly, nay more eagerly, taken?
. This hue and cry that has been raised
against the Kendall Company is only a
false alarm. The cause of the Boss's
sudden and ecstatic adoration of the
brokers is easily found. The brokers
were inhuman till it seemed possible to
draw on some of them for contributions
to- a political corruption fund. The
Republican influence of the New York
Stock Exchange is doubtless being used
in Mahone's behalf, and campaign
money ia to be the outcome of this sham
quarrel over the printing of the bonds.
If corruption is to be found seek for it
among the Boss and his gang.— State.
fi. St. George Tucker, Esq.
We are not surprised, though he is
comparatively a young man, to find that
our talented and popular citizen, and
our friend and next door neighbor, H.
St. Geo. Tucker, Esq., mentioned in
connection with the nomination of the
Democratic, party for Congress from
this District in opposition to tbe Badi
cal Bepublican, John Paul, who seems
to take special pleasure in putting col
ored Radicals in the seats in Congress
that should be filled by white Demo
crats, and that, too, when some of the
most decided Radicals refuse to do, be
cause of the injustice and outrage thus
perpetrated. Paul has shown that he is
a Badical Bepublican ot the worst
stripe, and that he has betrayed the
Democratic Beadjusters who voted -for
him under the impression that he was,
as he professed, a Democrat. They
will not vote for him again, unless they
have concluded to become Bepublicans.
Should Tucker receive the nomination,
he would make a good canvass, and we
would support him with zeal and en
thusiasm. We do not know that he
desires the nomination, and believe that
he is not expecting it, but favors the
nomination of another, who is a man of
talent, a good speaker, and was a gal
lant Confederate soldier. In the next
contest for Congressman, all personal
and sectional feelings should be subor
dinated, and we should nominate the
candidate who gives the greatest prom
ise of success. No Democrat should fail
to give a hearty support to the nominee
of the Democratic convention.
Meade P. White, Esq-
Should the Democratic convention
nominate our eloquent citizen; Meade
F. White, Esq., as the Democratic can
didate for Congress in opposition to
John Paul, the Bepublican, he would
make what, in common parlance, is
called a '-rattling" canvass—for he is
bold, intelligent, and remarkably flu
ent, and would be "a foeman worthy of
the steel" of the Rockingham Boaner
ges, wbo relies more upon "sound and
fury" for bis success than upon facts
and argument. White would puncture
the soap-bubble of his frothy declama
tion, and transfix him with the spear of
logic and satire. The days of Paul are
numbered.

an opportunity to choose between three
candidates for Congressman-at Large—
Bey. John E. Massey, Democratic Be

Lynchers After Yeatts.—A dis
patch from Chatham, Va., Btates that,
about 3 o'clock last Saturday morning

place for the purpose of forcibly taking
Yeatts, the murderer of young Adfeer
son, from the jail and banging him to a

nor had commuted his sentence ; but on
being informed by Mr. Simpson, Ad

been respited for one week, tbey aban
boned their purpose and dispersed.
A Suggestion to the Convention.
—Whilst this county will support the
nominee of the Democratic convention
without reference to section, yet it is
due to her to state that, though she ha.
had citizens well qualified for the posi
tion, she has not had the Congressman
for many yearS. She has now, as here
tofore, a number of citizens well quali
fied for that position, who would make
a good canvass if nominated. We
merely suggest this to the convention
for proper consideration.

him, and the parties were parted before
any damage was done to either. Crock

after two rounds bad been fired at a dis

AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF VIR
GINIA.
We, the undeisigned, members of the
Virginia Senate, and of what was once
the*Readjuster party, claim that we dis
charged our whole duty, so far as we
were permitted so to do, in the settle
ment of tbe public debt, in compliance
with our pledges to our respective con
stituencies Having done this, tbe main
object of our trust was accomplished.
But we soon learned from the acts of
the caucus and the leaders of tbe party
that an honest settlement of the State
debt upon the terms and according to
our repeated promises to the people was
not the real object of the self constituted
leaders of the party. But that the re
sult of the November election was to be
used to establish a dishonorable spoils,
system unknown in the political histo
ry of this State; tbat every right of the
people was to be prostituted to the suc
cess of a dangerous centralized power In
the hands of one man and his chosen
friends; that to accomplish this purpose
the courts were to be deprived of their
co-ordinate authority and made subser
vient to a central executive and partisan
Legislature; the common schools were
to be converted into political agencies ;
the right of the people to elect their own
officers was in a measure to be taken
from tbem, and other heretofore un
known and dangerous measures were to
be inaugurated. To accomplssh these
purposes a degrading and tyrannical
caucus system was enforced by rules
degrading to those who were forced by
the party lash to adopt it—insulting to
tbeir manhood and a betrayal to tbe
public trust confided to them by the 1
people. The ultimate object of all tbis
was to get control of tbe whole political
power of the State and hand it over to
tbe daring leader of the party to be util
ized by him to advance his ambitious
personal schemes; and it was all to be I
done quickly and before the people
could be warned of the danger. They,
through their faithless representatives, |
were to be converted into a new politic- ]
al party, with new principles and doc- j
trines, all for tbe special benefit of tbe j
leader and his friends. We, foreseeing
tbe tendency of these measures, alarmed
at the impending danger—refusing all'
offers of place or profit as the price of a ;
betrayal of the trust confided in us—con- j
scious of the rectitude of our motives — i
determined to use every effort to thwart I
these measures. What we did is a part
of tbe political history of the last Legis
lature. Our deliberate purpose was, and
is still, to protect, as far as we can, tbe
liberties of the people against the dan
gerous aggression of a growing and irre
sponsible one-man power known in tbis
State as "Mahoneism." For this weare
denounced by what once was the Read
juster Legislature as "traitors." We
appeal to the good people of all parties
whether our efforts are entitled to a re
spectful consideration If so, we earn
estly ask tbe whole people to forget for
the present all past political differences
—to bury all party hostility—to subor
dinate all existing principles and pre
judices to the living issue ofthe day and
unite in one supreme effort to tbrottle
in its infancy this incipient despotism.
There is no time to lose. This intended
outrage against everything dear to these
people must not succeed. Should it do
so this fall, through our folly and in
difference, tbis man will so entrench
himself in power within tbis Ststte by
tbe assistance of tbe Federal Govern
ment tbat no future effort can avail to
evict him, and no honorable mau now
living will cease to regret if he fails to
use every effort to prevent sucb a cataj.
trophe.
One of the first, and certainly the
most daring measure (because it was
done against the known will of the
united Beadjuster party of the whole
State), was the ejection of John E.
Massey from the Auditor's office. Mr.
Massey bad filled this office witb credit
both to himself aud the State. He had
created a party in measure, and had
mainly formulated its principles, and
had it not been for his great efforts tbe
party would never have made a success
ful campaign. This was undoubtedly
true as to the fall election. But he must
be sacrificed. Tbe State is deprived of
a valuable officer, ai* against the express
will of a majority of the people of the
State, simply because it was feared he
might become a dangerous rival to tbe
present self-constituted leader of a party
be is manipulating for his own pur
poses, because Mr. Massey refused to
subscribe to bis new revolutionary mea
sures and declined to degrade himself to
tbe position of a subordinate instrument
to be used at the will of this loader. Tbis
wag bis only offence. His previous
political and official action had won the
affection of his parly as few men ever
did To crush out tbis affection for him
tbe desperate and reckless strategy of
charging bim with a crime had to be re
sorted to. Tbis crime to-day, to the
shame of his persecutors, remains un
proved. Is it possible that here in Vir
ginia suah power can be exercised? —
Have we come to this ? Can a free peo
ple tolerate such deeds as these and
retain the perpetrators in power ? Do
they think they can long be free and
still entrust their liberties in the keep.
ing of such men? Every houoraßle in
stinct of our nature calls for a rebuke of
this unmanly assault upon Mr. Massey,
aud to use him as the instrument to put
down the men who were forced to single
him out as a personal sacrifice in order
that they might tbe more effectually
crush out the liberties of the people and
promote their schemes of personal am
bition.
We humbly ask tbat all good men of
all political parties who are true friends
of constitutional government will forget
for the present all political differences
and unite upon Mr. Massey as tbe con
gressional candidate at large. Iv our
humble opinion, it would be appropriate
in tbe present crisis, and' the result
would be a success—not only a success,
but a triumph. It would not only be a
defeat to bossism, but a crushing humil
iation. Reconciliation of past differ
ences upon the debt question —that we
all may unite to prevent an impending
political catastrophe—should be the ob
ject of every patriot in the State.

I will nowstatti that I made a miraculous
cure of one of the worst cases of skin disease
known. The patient is a man forty years old;
hud suffered fifteen years. His eyes, scalp, and
nearly his whole body presented a frightful ap
pearance. Ban had the attention of twelve
different pbysicians, who prescribed the best
remedies kirn «v to tbe profession, such as io
dide potassium., arsenic, corrosive sublimate,
sarsaparilla, r.tc. Bad paid $500 for medical
treatment with but little relief. I prevailed
! upon him to use the Cuticuba Resolvent ln
j ternally, and the Cutiouba and Cuticuba
Soap externally. He did so, and was complete
ly cured. The skin on his bead, 'ace, and many
other parts of his body, which presented a most
loathsome avpearance, is now as soft and
smooth as an Infant's, with no scar or trace of
tbe disease ief behind. He has now been cured
twelvemonths Reported by—

Rev. Dr. ——, In detailing bis experience
with the Cuticura Re.m__.dies, said tbat
through Divine Providence one of his parish
ioners was cured of a scrofulous sore, which
was slowly draining away his life, by the Cu
ticuba Resolvent Internally, and Cuticuka
and CtrrioußA Soap externally. The poison
that had fed the disease wa-s completely driven
eczema.
Sixteen months since an oruption broke out
on my leg and both feet, which '.urnedoutio
be Eczema, and caused me great pain and an
noyance. I tried various remedies with no
good results, until I used the Cuticuba Re
solvent Internally and Cui'icuba and Cuti

me so that my skin Is as _m ooth and natural
as ever.

any work (with English lead and boiled oil we
believe is orthodox) on which our paint has
