Fader this head tha Richmond I> .patch a
qnires how It la that aoma otberaiM reaped
able persona in that S:at« are favoring Grant,
and goes on to ssy.
Ha has done nothing that shows the slightest
ooDceasion to Htate rights or personal independ.
.nd security. Hi hi* now and tben talked
fairly; bnt whin was It that a question war
raised that be did not give a decision that left
the Inlilligint and patriotic friends of the true
theory of Kepnb'ic.nl«m In despair? His de-
oitiont aro foarfol. Eren between factions
hia own parly when was it to*: be did not aide
itb the least meritonoot faction? With no
prfjndtee In th* matter, we bave not seen an
exceptional case.
General Grant snstalns every encroachment
upon Htate* rights, every nsnrpatlon of Federal
antbonty, and in tbe case of Georgia he nrged
Chingreaa to apply tbe “tesUoatb" to tbe Geor
gians, a recommendation ao revere tbat even
Ooxgrea*. as rntbleea aa it was, did not have the
he’.rt to respect it.
Then, what are so-called Southern man—
men who went as far aa he who went farthest
in tba Confederate c.n<e and in the came of
S'atea rights—espousing the canoe of General
Grant for ? We eannot for tbs life of us ace.
He certainly does not want their help. He
In no need, and he has shown no diraositlon
to relent towar.'a tbeir countrymen. Even now
ha proposes to Interfere in onr Buie elections
to tbe and of silencing (be known voioe of tbe
oeople. We shall soon see tba signs about
Norfolk and the navy vard.
Tben, what does Grant want from tbe Old
Virginia Staton-right* men tbat they should rie
dare themselves for him, or wbat do they gain
by pobliabing tbeir adhesion to h s s power ? It
ia a perptexlr g question. We see nothing gain
fd on either aide. Something may be expected.
It It bard to know wbat that ia. Bat tbla we
can aav with trntb, that if anything bis been
expected it baa not been realized.
General Grant ia no donht laughing in bfa
alaeve. and as be said when Early went lowards
Washington he no doubt says in this cue—viz
that it is a mere ''Fiasco."
Exactly, aod yet yoor “Conservative” con
veotion resolved, with all these facia blazoned
in Ineffaceable letters upon history's page, that
‘they wonld offer no factions opposition to his
administration.” Tbo Dispatch talks with tba
bark on, and states, in words that need no slab-
oration, tbe reasons wby no true min, be be
Virginian, Georgian or what not, can aepport
Grant. It is really pitiable to see a convention
of representative Virginians deprecating Grant’s
wrath by declaring they will not offer any "fao-
tloos” opposition to bis administration. If what
the Dispatch says of that administration be
true—and all men know it is—then we affirm
tbat It ia the doty of good men, everywhere, to
offer every kiod of opposition lo if: and so the
Virginia “Oonservativea” should bnv« declared.
Faotiona opposition to an administration whoso
policy has aoma good points In it msy bo dep-
reoaled, bnt where it ahowa not ono single
measure tbat is not evil In Its purpose and ao
tlon towards a people called upon to speak their
ind onnoeraing it, any and every eort of oppo
Billon is not only their dnty bnt tbeir polioy.
Tbs Sonthern Democracy have nover yet
made anything by bolding back when dealing
with this question. Whenever they have en
deavorad to blarney Grant be has given them a
back banded slnp intbeir months as a punish
ment for tbeir presumption, and to show hla
oontempt for them. If tbe Virginia"‘Gonser-
vatlvne'' had only borne tbat fact in mind, they
won'd never have made another effort in the
same direction, and there wonld bsvo been
fonnd preoions few of that cites of Virginians
whose espousal of Grant’s erase has called forth
th* Diepateh’s comments. These men, no
dnnbt, find, or rffeot to find, in tbe resolution
the oonvention above referred to, justifica
tion for their oondnot, and there la (he danger
if. Its numanlinesa and folly we painted
ont yesterday.
This whole matter suggests one tmpregnahle
truth in Sonthern politics. It is tbat nothing
bnt dirgrace and defeat can come of any com
promise with, or conciliation or, tbo Grant
party. It is as ruthless and fixed in its policy
evil aa tbe instinct of the tiger for blood,
snores all devloea to soften its spirit or di
vert its purpose. It recognizes and respects
nothing bnt an opposition tbat looks it Fqnare
'the eye, and fights It inch by Inch. We in
Georgia bave triad tbat experiment—with wbat
result all know. WeornshedRadicalism.and that
effeetnally. It was not by soft wordi for Grant
and bis administration, though. We denonneed
both as they deserved, and made the action
suit tbe word. Tho Virginia Conservatives,
while declaring tba issue to be whether whites
negroes abonld rale in Virginia, assure the
b'g man, who of all others most desires victory
for tbs latter, that they do not intend to offer
any “factions” opposition to bis administration
—an administration whose cardinal doctrine, as
ell as its strongest prop at the Sontb, ia the rule
the negro. The Dispatch thinks Grant is
laughing in his sleevo at theso Virginians who
snppoit him, and calling tho foot a mere
‘Jinx.” We think there is good reason for
believing that ho ia also langhing in his sleeve
the “ Conservative ” convention.
Under and Back Pay.
Beast Butler defends tbe action of these Con
gressmen who drew and still retain their back
pay. Speaking for himself, he says he is rich
and does not need his pay; bnt he is “fearless”
and will therefore uphold the oonrse of those
who do need it. The World, commenting npon
this utterance, exclaims:
If a starring man steils a leg of motion, or
grabs back pay, or Mizes any other disreputable
<xpedlent to escape starvation, It dees not be
hoove ns to judge him harshly. Bnt what shall
we say of tbo man who boasts that he Is beyond
Iho fear of want, and at the same time avows
that he also stole a leg of mntion merely to keep
his poorer colleagnes in countenance ? And this
■ the gist of the defenoe which Bader makes
for himself. We have never beard, ex sept from
Butler, that a man who bad money was averse
to having more on that acoonnt. Nor do we
believe wben we now bear it from him. Butler
did not send bia back pay to oharlUble institu
tions, neither did be distribute it among tbe
needy Cragroasmen whose poverty ao wrings
bis nob'e aonL Ou the contrary, he pnt it in
bta pockel. and now be slaps that pocket with a
cheertnl jingle, and tells his oonstitnenla that
he does not heed it, that he can live perfectly
well witbont it, bnt that he will keep it all the
sitne.
SatlilUnc (be Bight Horae.
Tbe grangers of Bureau county, Blinois,
meeting in a Republican stronghold, nnder the
presidency of a Republican member of tbe
DegisUtore, hive m itched the Ohio platform in
the matter of one of its resolutions. Instead
of oenraring both political parties os joint au
thors of their woes, they declare that “the po-
litiual party which for the paet thirteen year*
has bad perfect and exclusive control of onr
Htate usd national affairs, with ample time and
puwer to remedy all evils and oorrect all aba
ses within the scope of governmental action, if
it bu 1 so desired or intended, is folly and clear-
ly responsible for the grievances of which [tbeyj
complain." This U precisely what tha Demo
crat of Ohio said, bnt coming from the gran-
gets of a Republican county it ia one of the
most hopeful utterances of tbe movement. The
Republican leaders bare been deairona, if
they coold not retain the granger* within the
party fold, of nsirg tbe movement to disinteg
rate tbe Democratic party in tbe rnral districts
of tbe Northwest, trusting to retain power in
the scramble. The grangers, however, see
plainly where the responsibility lies, and cen
sure the verv persons who deserve censure.
1Veto York World
This movement in seif defence of the honest
agricultural mifssa, carries terror to the hearts
of the guilty party in power, who have ao long
pilfered the public treasure, and trampled the
tax-payer in the dust. Soft words and hollow
promises will avail naught to appease the in
dignation of an outraged people. They are
determined to right themselves, and tho sooner
the better.

following is from tbo Atlanta Herald, cf yester
day :
It is with feelings of deep and sincere r»gret
that we annonoee tjie death of Dr. W. H Pegg
of this oity, which sad event occurred at seven
o'elock on Sunday morning last. Tbe doctor
was a well known and highly esteemed citizen
of Atlanta, a member of and secretary of tbe
Board of Health. Etrly on Sunday morning
tbe deoeaaed waa returning from s visit to one
of his patients, and wben in front of the rest
denoe or Mr. J. O. Holbrook, on Forsyth street,
was stricken d >wn, and aftir being carried into
the home died in a few minutes. He did not
speak after be fell, so complete and terrible was
tbe shook on hia system. He bad spoken to
Mr. Holbrook before this, and in an instant was
discovered to be reeliDg and falling. He was
apparently in good health, thoogh be had been
oomplatning of alight paina for several days,
bnt was still attending to his duties to the sick
a* a physician. He evidently died from either
apoplexy or affeotion of tbe heart.

tbe eutire State are inolnded, with the excep

tbeBe o:noties np to yesterday afternoon bad
not sent in tbeir books, bnt they will probably
do eo in a few daws. On aooonnt of the novelty
of tbeae returns, many of the reoeivera have
failed to understand thoroughly bow they were
to be taken, although printed instructions end
forms were distributed to each from tbe Comp
troller’s office. Coum quently some of tbe items
are by no means perfectly reliable. Thus many
of tbe reoelvers, by mistake, failed to ascertain
the r amber of cattle, a’.ock, ere, or acres
