WIUIAB A. ASDEKSON,
Before Mr. Summers declared the
Underwood Constitution to be "the
greatest document ever framed by
man," we could not determine whether
he should be classed as a knave or a
fool. After that we had no trouble as
to classification.
— i' '
Admiral Howison seems determined
to Bit in the Sampson-Schley contro
versy no matter how much he may
have said or done against Schley in
the past. We hope he will continue to
assert his right to Bit. It will add
thereby more to the rottenness and
criminality of the effort to blacken
Schley '8 character.
Sampson, the self constituted hero
of Santiago's naval encounter, seems
sick. It is said he will be too ill to
appear before the court of inquiry. So
brm ye a man as he is said to be should
not weaken in the presence of an enemy
he has created. If he fails to appear
the country may come to the conclu
sion that he had a motive in leaving
his squadron on that 4th of July Sun
day morning, ?.hen the battle of San
tiago was fought.
—. •—o ♦
There is a great effort on the part
of Republicans in this State to create
the impression that thk people are
tired of and distrustful of the conven
tion. The distrust nowhere reaches to
the people, but it does pervade the Re
publican leaders, and we hope it will
never be otherwise. If that conven
tion commits one single act pleasing
to the Virginia Republican politician
we will distrust it ourselves. As
things now stand we have the utmost
confidence in it.
ABLE ADVOCATES.
Messrs. Pedigo and Summers, two
Republican members of the State Con
vention, had their inning on Thursday
last. In their zealous advocacy of the
negroes and what they term "his
rights" they have injured his cause,
as narrow bigoted partisans often do.
Mr. Pedigo hunted around for all the
mean expressions in his vocabulary,
aud when he had gotten them in hie
quiver proceeded to hurl them at the
Democratic party of Virginia. This
was just the same as saying to each
Democrat of the convention "thou art
the man." Mr. Pedigo told the Con
vention that he would assume all the
odium of the enfranchisement of the
negro, that he had voted for Lincoln
and Hamlin in Ohio, and that it was
the proudest day of his life. We dc
not know Mr. Pedigo further than this
speech has disclosed him, but thus fai
we are not impressed with his charac
(, or his oratoiy, and if he means to
to assist the colored brother whom
i eems to love so well, we have no
ard whatever for his discretion. Oi
rse the white people of this country
eno control over the manners of
7 man, he can choose that company
best likes, whether it be decent or
indecent, he can hug the negro or any
other person to his bosom, and over
whelm him with ravishing osculations.
Indeed he can go with the sow and
•wallow in the mire, Virginia will not
complain, but they will not allow
the mselves to be carried into the mire
by any and every hog loving animal
who may wish others to wallow where
he has made his bed.
These speeches have probably sealed
the negroes doom in Virginia, that is
the ignorant negro. The day has come
when he cannot hold the same powei
as the educated white man, as the
man who pa ya the taxes and form;
the basis of our governmental fabric
and nobody need be surprised if hii
disfanchisement, as it is called, goei
a step further than ever before in
tended. Those who know the historj
of the Underwood Constitution anc
who recall that the vote of every negri
in that convention, and they wen
largely in the majority, was to dis
franchise every white man then ii
Virginia who was then a Southeri
sympathizer, need not tremble anc
wail and tear bis raiment whei
he contemplates the prospect befor
him of some negroes not being allowed
to vote. If there are those in Virgini:
who have forgotten these things am
suppose everybody else has, they ar
mistaken, they are not forgotten b;
all nor will they be.
Messrs. Hummers and Fedigo bay
hurt the cause they profess to espouse
though they feel better no doubt tba
before the delivery of their speeches
their gorge of Democratic hatred ha
been reduced, tuey have "said thei
say" and are happy. But the caus
of their friends has been ruined, the
have upset the frying pan into th
fire, and those whom they pretended t<
be helping should wish them with i
i> stone about their necks in tin
bottom of the sea. There is a fon
bird which history tells us eats norn
but rotten food, and will not eat thai
until it has vomited over it. Mr
Pedigo seems to be among men such ;
person as that bird is among birds
The quicker the negro of Virginia geti
rid of this character of beast, bird oj
man, the better off he will be.
VIRTUOUS BANKERS.
Minnesota bankers have met and
one virtuous act was to denounce their
Governor for pardoning some bank
robbers. Not long since tbe Governor
of Minnesota pardoned the Younger
boys who had done some bank robbing
up there, and the bankers In meeting
denounced him. The President has
pardoned about fifty bank robbers re
cently and not one uncaught and un
convicted bank officer has had the
nerve, or rather effrontery, to drae
him over the coals on account thereof.
It makes little difference whether a
robber robs a bank by one process or
another so that he robs, but it does
make a vast difference whether a par
don be given to a man who is bold
enough to hold up the officers at the
point of a pistol, or to a man who has
taught Sunday School on the Sabbath
day and from his position in the hank
stuffed his pockets with other people's
money during the wee«. It also makes
a vast difference whether a pardon be
granted to a bank robber by a Gover
nor of a State, or by the President of
the United States. In the one case
the bankers can damn him as a cur, in
the other they would no morn find fault
than a flunkey "would kick his master
down the front steps.
WHAT MAY HAPPEN.
I There are those who believe that
, women will one day "adorn" the Su
• preme bench of the United States.
, This is looking well into the future
i though such a result may be possible.
It seems that the positions which
women seek, now held by mcc, are
those which they seem to think are
"nice soft easy jobs." The offices are
their goat, not those avocations where
hard work alone counts.
As lawyers women have not proven
successful. There are a few who have
apparently been or are so, but of the
many women who have been admitted
to t he bar in the Western States, few
have been heard of thereafter outside
their immediate localities. Mrs. Lease
tried it, and she is a woman of more
than ordinary ability. She gave it up
after a time.
The ministry has always been open
to females, but few have chosen it, uu
less it be to launch forth into the fields
of Christian Science or other dubious
paths. Scarcely oae has ever been able
to hold together a congregation of
her sex.
In medicine there is some chance
for female talent we think, though
that is a slow and devious way. Few
are the women who have branched
out on their own hook in that profes
sion who have more thai: made a liv
ing. Statistics show that in proportion
to their numbers in the United States
there is scarcely an ascertainable frac
tion of them in this calling. In Vir
ginia we believe there are only
four all told. What success as indi
vidual practitioners these have had
we do not know, but we do not think
it is very marked.
We may, therefore, some day hear
that a woman is wearing a judicial
robe. We know they have worn the
ministers robe, and we may hear of one
who has gone to the very forefront in
the medical world, though we do not
expect the Judge or Doctor for a cen
tury or two. The minister has come
and gone.
Lo, the poor Indian, had his days of
sadness and nights of agony.
Sambo, the poor Negro, is to have
his. Since he was kicked bodily out of
the Roanoke convention he has writhed
in mental anguish and rent his cloth
ing in dispair.
The Republican nominees in Virgin
ia have not yet received much encour
agement from Mr. Hanna with refer
ence to campaign fnnds. The eulogy
pronounced on him by the Roanoke
convention ought to draw copiously
from that gentleman's barrel, and if it
does not, if he does not acknowledge
in a substantial way their humbling
themselves in the dust before him, his
hard heart should be melted by some
other process. We suggest that Roose
velt dynamos be started and a hot
current be driven through his ada
mantine breast, and thus thaw out the
veins which seem now filled with
liquid air.
Moffett's Creek, Sept. 2.—We con
gratulate the Democratic Executive
Committee on their action in ordering a
primary election for the selection of
candidates for the Senate and House
of Delegates. The day of conventions
we hope are forever past. Give the
people a chance through primary elec

which almost always disgraces the ac

The following is taken from the edi
torial columns of the Valley Virginian
published at Waynesboro in its last
issue:
A IVOF.THT CANDIDATE.
The attention of the Democrats of
South River is called to the announce
ment in another column of tbe candi
dacy of Hon. John W. Todd for re elec
tion to tbe legislature.
It is not osnally the enstom of the
Valley Virginian to take sides in fami
ly affairs of this nature, but as there
are two candidates to be nominated we
feel that no injustice is done any one in
saying that we believe that the best
interest of tbe people of Augusta will
be subserved in nominating and elect
ing Mr. Todd as one of our representa
tives.
Mr. Todd served his first term in the
last legislature. Werlo not propose to
advance in his behalf that last resort
of a poor excuse that he is "entitled"
to another term. Because he does not
need that sort of argument. We hap
pen to know that, although a new
member, he took leading position in
the front rank and was throughout tbe
session a man of force and influence
in the house. As one evidence of this
he was the only new member that was
several times called to fill the chair in
the sp»aker's absence.
Another reason why Mr. Todd sh mid
receive the support of the people is thrt
iv the public meeting and conventions
he has time and again done signal ser
vice for the party in meeting and de
fending by his keen insight and sagac
ity measures that were designed to
frustrate and defeat the wishes of the
people. Even so late as the recent
convention in Staunton he did splen
did service in defeating a measure on
the fljor that was anything but what
the people of the county stood for.
Therefore, in consideration of his ser
vices to the party, his clear sighted,
wise and judicious Judgment, his abil
ity and efficiency in times of need, we
commend him to the people of Augus
ta as in every way worthy of their con
fidence and support. It
Difficulty at Hot Springs
At the Hot Springs in Bath county
on Saturday William A. Dudley, an
overseer, was assaulted and perhaps
fatally wounded by a negro named Al
len Franklin. The assailant fled after
his crime, and when a party started
after him over the mountains the ne
groes in town armed themselves and
started after the fugitive's pursuers.
So threatinar was the conduct of the
oolored people that it was necessary to
organize a Sheriff's posse to follow in
the wake of the riotous negroes. At
one time it looked as if a race conflict
were Imminent, but later in the day
the negro baud was halted, arrested
and disarmed. The fugitive is still at
large and no more trouble is appre
hended. Prom tne statement made
by Dudley Monday the difficulty was
caused by him and the negro was not
to blame.
Death of Mr. Terrell
Mr. Jefferson D. Terrell, a brother
of Mrs. W. D. Runnels, of this city,
died at his home in Waynesboro on the
first inst., after a long illness, in his
forty-first year. He is survived by bis
aged mother, one brother, and two sis
ters. He had been in delicate health
for a year or two, but was able to go
about until about two weeks ago when
he took a severe cold which resulted
in his death.
