ftattttfaro Ipectfttot. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1881. Trying to Shirk Responsibility. The N. Y.

Timet and other Northern Bepublican journals that did all they could in the late canvaps in this State to the success of the Mahone ticket, are now trying to shrink the responsible lity of aiding repudiation by denunciation of the Biddleberger Bill, of which the Times says The Biddleberger bill is a measure of repudiation based upon no principle of equity or sound policy It is too late for the Bepublicans to relieve themselves and their party of the odium of repudiation, for they did all they could to secure the success of the party whose platform was the Biddleberger Bill, and it was through the Influence of the Federal administration that the Mahone-repudiation ticket was elected. The repudiation chickens are now going home to roost in the Bepublican coop, and that party will yet rue the day that it "stooped to conquer," and gave all the "aid and comfort" it could to the Mahone ticket. As we have heretofore stated, Nemesis will inflict retributive justice upon that party. It will find that it has lost more in the North than it has gained in the South by its departure from right and justice, and its palpable violation of the best principle maintained by that fidelity to contracts, and its maintenance of the public credit. Lewis and Riddleberger.

If Riddleberger should be elected U. S. Senator, ao now seems most probable, afe he seems to be of Mahoue, whocte will is the law of his party, Lewis aud his friends will not only consider it an act of bad faith, but will consider it as "adding nsult to injury" In view of the fact that Riddleberger man who so violently nominating Lewis lor Lt. Governor on the ticket, saying that he.was so unpopular that be could not carry a single county West of the Blue Ridge. To elect any other than Lewis, would, in the opinion of his friends, be bad enough, but to elect Riddleberger, in view of his course towards Lewis in the nominating Convention, would be the "unkindest cut of all." If his purpose were to wound Lewis most deeply, Mahone could not adopt a more efficient mode than the election of Riddleberger.

Lewis is not the man to submit quietly to what he may conceive to be wrongs, much less to insults, an dwe shall be deceived if he should not resent the election of Riddleberger under the circumstances. How the Members of the Lower HftusE of Congbess convened on yesterday, and is in the government of the Republican party with a little aid from other factions which it will be sure to receive. As the Lynchburg Virginian says, the loss of the Eleventh New York District destroys the straight Republican majority in the House, but they will doubtless unite with other factions enough to control the organization on all test questions. The division on strict party lines will be as follows: Republicans 146 Democrats 136 Green back ers 8 Readjusters 2 Independent 1 A majority is 147 or one more than the straight Republican vote. But the Independent, J.

Hyatt Smith, of Brooklyn, has avowed his intention to vote for a Republican Speaker. The two Readjusters are tolerably certain to follow the lead of Mahone and vote with the Republicans, and five of the eight from Missouri and one from Republicans. The Republicans can, therefore, command 154 votes, or eighteen majority over the Democrats where needed, and fifteen more than the combined vote of the Democrats and Greenbackers. Frazier and Leech the case of Frazier and Leech of Rockbridge, the State Board of Canvassers, composed of the Commonwealth, Auditor of Public Accounts, the Treasurer, and Attorney- General, in their meeting in Richmond on Monday of last week, after hearing the argument of Counsel, and an examination of the returns, decided that Leech and Dunlap were duly elected and entitled to their seats in the Legislature. It is understood that Messrs.

Frazier and Lady will make a contest before the Legislature, in the hopes that that body, composed of a majority of Readjusters, will decide in their favor. Killed on the the 26th of November, near the Relay House, Wm. A. Sigafoose, late of Winchester, a brakeman on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, was killed by being run over by a detached portion of a freight train. His body was received at Winchester on Monday of last week, and the funeral took place from his father's residence fire department, of which he was a member, attended the funeral in a body.

He was a very worthy and industrious young man. Wants to be U. S. V. D.

Groner, of Norfolk, it is announced, aspires to the United States Senatorship from Virginia, and is in Richmond with a view of pushing his claims backed by Collector Brady, of Petersburg. Gen. Groner was an aspirant for the readjuster nomination for Governor. There will be several groaners after the election of Senator, whose curses will be deep if not loud. Natubal Bbidge Natural Bridge property, in Rockbrige county, has again changed hands, the owners this time being a stock company, of which Gov.

Cornell, of N. is president. It is the intention of the newcompany to build a railroad from the Richmond and Alleghany track to the bridge, and to otherwise improve it as its importance and celebrity demand. Bad Valley Virginian maintains that it was the understanding, during the recent canvass, that Lewis should be elected U. S.

Senator, and that not to do so "would violate the understanding of the recent eanvass and constitute a flagrant and indefensible qct of bad faith which it is the duty of Republicans to protest just as publicly as the proposition has been presented." Whits Sulphub Spbinos Company meeting of the stockholders of the, Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs company was held- at the Exchange Hotel in Bichmond last Thursday evening. A large majority of the stock was represented, and the following directors were elected: Ex-Governor H. M. Mathews, of West Virginia; W. A.

Stuart, of Washington county, John P. Branch and James H. Dooley, of Bichmond; and George L. Peyton, of Greenbrier county, W. Va.

At a subsequent meeting of the direc tors ex-Governor Mathews was elected president and W. A. Stuart vice-president of the company. Colonel George L. Peyton is the general manager.

Af ter the organization of the company there was a full discussion of al! mat" ters pertaining to its business interests and the inprovement of this valuable property. Fun ahead. the Mahone caucus meets to nominate a candidate for U. S. Senator you may expect some fun.

The buzzards fighting over the carrion will be an interesting spectacle. There will be some who will not willingly yield to the imperious will of Mahone. There will be considerable fluttering among these birds of prey. Let them whet their beaks and pitch in. i We will be only spectators of the con test, caring very little who proves conquerer.

We believe, however, that Massey and Lewis will give Mahone i some trouble, and that they will not very willingly yeild to his domineering will and pleasure. Will the Bepublicans who furnished four-fifths of the vote Ibe content to occupy back seats, like poor boys at a frolie Nous rons. The People's bank at Charlottesvill Charlottesville Chronicle says that on Monday of last week the "People's Bank" of that place, received its charter as a National Bauk, and will hereafter operate under the laws of the United States instead of the Virginia law, under which it has been transacting its business for a number of years. The same officers will have the management of its Charles H. Harman, President; W.

W. Flannagan, Cashier; Luther R. Snead, Treasurer. The present Board of Directors are C. H.

A. J. Farish, W. W. Flannagan, Oscar Reierson and L.

R. Snead. The People's Bank was organized in 1875 with a capital of $20,000, which Is increased under the present charter to $50,000. Making a Manufacturing Town. Saturday week at "Roanoke," formerly known as "Big Lick," in Roanoke county, meetings of the stockholders of the Roanoke Land improvement Company, the Roanoke Machine Company and the Roanoke Iron Company were held.

It was decided to increase the capital stock of each company to $2,000,000. Roanoke is the point of junction of the Shenandoah Valley and Norfolk and Western Railroads, in Roanoke county, Va aud is expected to become the seat of large manufacturing industries. The incorporators of the companies named above embrace a number of wealthy Northern Lynching in North On last Thursday morning about 3 o'clock, at Oxford, Granville county, N. a party of masked men, numbering between seventy-five and a hundred, took from.the Oxford jail John Brodie and Shadrack Hester, colored, charged with the murder of T. M.

Lynch, and hanged them In a small grove near the spot where the murder was committed. The jailer was taken from his home and forced to open the doors, while the guards were disarmed and shut up the guardhouse. The victims confessed their guilt. Mrs. M.

A. Anderson, wife of Hon. Francis T. Anderson, of the Supreme Court of Appeals, and mother of Hon. W.

T. Anderson, formerly State Senator from the Rockbridge district, died at her home in Lexington, last Sunday week. The numerous friends of the venerable Judge throughout the State will sympathize with him in his bereavement. Child Burned to last Friday week, in Lovingsjon, Nelson county, Mr. Abram Smith's family went out to breakfast leaving a young child asleep in a cradle.

Returning, they found the room and the cradle in a blaze. The child was so badly burned that death followed in a few hours. Runaway last Wed nesday, Mr. Richard D. Anderson, of the mercantile firm of R.

D. Anderson at the University of Virginia, and Miss White, a beautiful young lady of Charlottesville, were married at the Metropolitan Hotel in Washington City, having eloped for that purpose. An Old Uriel Ter rell, democratic member elect to the Virginia Legislature from Orange county, is perhaps the oldest person in public life in this or any other State in the Union. He is in the ninetieth year of his age, with an unclouded intellect and the activity of a man of sixty. Saxons fob large party of Saxon immigrants passed through St.

Louis last week on their way to Arkansas. They formed the third instalment ot a colony of 5,000 or 6,000 that is.being planted in the vicinity of Little Rock by acolonization society in the old country. Ribs Lexington Gazette says that Michael McNamara in the darkness of Thursday nighta week, walked over the high wall immediately below the engine house on the Lynchburg road. Several ribs were fractured. The daughter of Hon.

James Barbour, of Culpeper, Virginia, was married Wednesday evening to Mr. John F. Rixey, of thai town, Commonwealth's Attorney for that county. The Legislature will meet to-morrow. It is understood that the Readjusters have determined upon the election of I.

C. Fowler, editor of the Bristol News, as speaker for the House of Delegates. Cameron's majority is about 13,000, owing to the Republican vote, without which he would have been beaten by many thousands. A White Alleghany Tribune says that a perfectly white deer whs killed last week a few miles below Covington on Jackson's River. SPECTATOR AND GENERAL Bad Faith John F.

Lewis for Senator. MEETING OF ROCKINGHAM REPUBLICAN OF THE VALLEY VIRGINIAN. At a meeting of the Bepublicans of Bockingham County on last Tuesday, the following resolutions were unanimously Whereas, We leart) that there will not only be determined opposition to the election of Hon. John F. Lewis to the U.

S. Senate to succeed Senator Johnston, but that there is imminent danger of his defeat; and Whebeas, In ouropinion, to John F. Lewis, more than to any other man, is due the succes of the Coalition party at ihe late election, (for it not been for him there wouiu undoubtedly have bsen a Bepublican ticket in the field, and the defeat of the Beadjusters overwhelming.) Therefore, be it Besolved, That in our opinion the Bepublican wing of the recent Coalition party of Virginia has a just right to expect and demand of the Legislature elected by their united efforts and votes, the election of a gentleman to the U. S. Senate of known and pronounced Bepublican antecedents, who possesses the confidence of the Bepublicans of the State, and that the election of the Hon.

John F. Lewis would contribute in a higher degree than that of any other man towards the harmony and consolidation of the Coalition party in the State. Resolved, That we earnestly invite the Bepublicans of other counties to meet at once and give expression to their sentiments on this subject. Though the success of the Mahone ticket be due to the Bepublicans under the implied pledge that Hon. John F.

Lewis would be elected U. S. Senator, he will not be, for the reason that Mahone prefers Biddleberger, and his will is the law of his party. The Valley Virginian and other Bepublicans so understand it, and in its last issue the Virginian says that not to elect Lewis or some other Bepublican would be violation of the understanding accepted during the canvass." The Bepublicans should understand that they have put themselves in the power of the "Boss," Mahone, the great readjuster mogul whose yoke they will have to bear, however galling to their necks it may be. The majority will be tyrannized over by the minority.

The Valley Virginian says that Mr. Lewis "believes that the Bepublicans are entitled to the Senatorship, and that good faith demands that it shall be awarded them, whoever may be the individual chosen," and that "he is keenly alive to the slight that would be placed upon the Bepublicans not to have recognition in the selection of the Senator, and this he will be very apt to make known before the election takes place." We add the following additional quotations from the Valley Virginian of last week upon this which show its fears of bad faith on the part of Mahone: "Not to act up to this understanding 1 election of would be a fla-1 grant breach of faith, with results which might destroy not only the fruits of the victory in Virginia, but render it absolutely impossible to inaugurate similar movements in other Southern States." "Inasmuch as the Bepublicans brought their column of 84 000, as numbered last year, to the aid of the 31,000 Re-adjusters, as numbered last year, to rescue the control of the State from those who had so shamefully abused their authority, and propose to stand by them until the necessities which have called into existence the coalition shall have been met, it is not unreasonable that they should demand recognition in the selection of a United States Sena tor, especially as tjjere is already a Democratic Senator of the Re-adjuster per suasion." I "In Virginia a Re-adjuster Democratic United States Senator has already been elected by Republican votes, two Congressmen of the same party faitb have been chosen in like manner, and we have just now given them control of the entire State government and all of its patronage. Is not this enough? Must we still consent to further de mauds and elect another Democratic Senator and thus place the legislation of the country at the disposal of two Senators, elected by Republican votes, who acknowledge no allegiance to the Republican party; proclaiming themselves independent Democrats, and deny responsibility to either a Demo cratic or a Republican constituency Injustice to the Republican party of the country in justice to the adminis tration of President Arthur and in justice to self-respect, the Republicans of Virginia who have given the control of the State to the Re-adjusters, cannot go further. They must respectfully yet Irmly insist that the Republican elemeut in the coalition be recognized, and recognized in the only way that will meet the case, by the election of a Republican United States Senator to succeed Hon. J.

W. Johuston. Good faith demands it, for nothing was more clearly understood during the canvass than that the success of the Camerou ticket would be followed by tbe election of a Republican United States Senator." "We voice the sentiment and convic tion of the Republicans of Virginia, when we declare that they will submit to no such injustice, and we speak for the Republicans of the country, when we state that it was not to give a few Democrats office and power, that Re publicans support and Republican sym pathy were extended to what wa3 be lieved to be a liberal political movement in this State. Republicans nave shown their faith by their woiku in the contest just past. They must be met in like spirit, and wbeu justice and fairness ale meted out, they will bear testimony in their future action to the fidelity with which they will meet duty and defy opposition." "To carry out such a programme election of a would violate the understanding of the recent State canvass and constitnte a flagrant and indefensible act of bad faith, which it is the duty of Republicans to protest against just as publicly as the proposition has been presented Caucus Saturday night, the Congressional Caucus of the Republicans, made the following nominations Jap.

W. Keiff, A Ohio, for Speaker; Brownlow, of Tennessee for Doorkeeper and McPhersou, of Pennsylvania, for Clerk. The nomination of Keiff is recognized as a victory of the stalwarts, and it gives offense to the friends of Blaine. The Democratic Caucus nominated the old officers, but, of course, there is no chance to elect them, as the Republicans will have a majority. A Child Bubned to special telegram to the Rich.

Dispatch says that, on last Friday, while two of the children of Mr. James Brown of Lexington were at play in a stable near his house, the building took fire, and one of the children, a boy about three years old, was burned to death. Blair's official majority over McKinney, fwr Attorney General, Is 12,273. The returns lor Governor and Lieutenant Governor, in accordance with the requirements of the Constitution will be canvassed by the General Assembly. Fine Cane for Maj.

J. W. Daniel. Daniel Club of Baltimore City have presented Major Daniel with a handsome cane in token of their esteem for that distinguished gentleman. The cane is of ebony wood, with a gold head wrought in the shape of an eagle's head, with eyes of rare diamonds.

The cane bears the inscription "Presented to Major John W. of Virginia's the Daniel Club of Baltimore, 1881 In presenting the cane, Mr. Willoughby Smith referred to Major Daniel as the representative of the party of honesty and.integrity in Virginia. Natives of Virginia in Maryland had, he said, recognized theservices of the Major, and felt confident that Virginia, although now stunned, would before long receive fresh vigor and bring back hope to all of her sons. Major Daniel, in replying, said that it had touched him deeply to know that not only Virginians in other States but also the people of Maryland had taken an interest in the recent campaign.

To him the testimonial was something even more worthy than office, which, unless it was looked upon as something to do good to the people, was only as ing brass and as a tinkling cymbal. It was not by the hand or act of the people that Virginia had been degraded, but by the corrupt and venal forces set in motion by the great National Government, which, by its acts, had stultified all its professions of civil-service reform. Again he repeated his thanks, and begged to assure the committee that he would treasure the testimonial as a mark of perpetual friendship, and hand it down as an heirloom to his family. A Baptist Minister who had Beceived Five correspondent of the Bichmond Dispatch, writing from Danville, under date of last Tuesday, says: "Bev. Dr Goodwin, pastor of the Baptist church, was converted while in the army, and mainly from reading the Bible, and was baptized by Bev.

Mr. Gwin, the chaplain of the Sixteenth South Carolina regiment. He was wounded five in the left hand, once through the leg, on the head, and on the shoulder. The same ball that tore his left hand passed through the right arm, and he was then in ten feet oi the liDe of the enemy. After he was disabled from active service he was detailed to serve in the office of General Pemberton.

He has excited great admiration here as an orator, and morning and night the pews, the aisles, and the galleries are packed with eager listeners." HEVT ADVERTISEMEHTS.
