The Western rivers are on the rise. The Apaches continue their deviltry. Atlanta is enjoying a sensation over a missing will. Gen. B. F. Butler is not anxious to defend Guiteau. Uncle Sammy Tilden is still alive, and is able to write a letter. Thirty-two lawyers attended the session of the Superior Court of Frank lin county last week. The only colored man who ran for the Legislature in the recent election in Ohio was defeated. Atlanta is sad because the War Department has ordered the troops stationed at that point to be removed. Lieutenant-Governor McEnery suc ceeds to the gubernatorial chair of Louisiana, made vacant by the death of Governor Wiltz. The best known and most widely hated man on the American continent is General Grant. He is dreaded by every lover of American institutions. It may be hardly necessary to re mark that the State Fair opened out last Monday, in Macon, and is con sidered to be quite a lively concern itself. Charles J. Guiteau ha3 been indict ed by the Grand Jury of the District of Columbia. Ilis defense will be in the hands of his brother-in-law. He will be tried at an early day. Secretary Jas. G. Blaine might be pursuaded to write the life of General Garfield. We are not aware of his qualifications for the task, but know that he will have a considerable amount of time on his hands before long. Cincinnati is suffering from an epi demic of small pox. The Commercial of that city says: •* It is thus far the most virulent on the lower streets over the city. Many cases are reported in the East End. The pest house is full of patients and deaths are frequent.’* An exchange, in speaking of the recent failure of the Democrats to hold their man in position as Presi dent of the Senate, truthfully remarks that there are too many leading men in the party, and each one wants the “shebang” so directed that he will derive a substantial benefit therefrom. The Home for Friendless Boys re cently opened in New York cost three hundred thousand dollars, and the en tire amount was secured through the efforts of a Catholic priest named Drumgoole, who began the work ten years ago, and has devoted to it all his time and energy. A large proportion of the money was contributed in twenty-five cent subscriptions, and the Absence of large amounts in the list of donors is noticeable. Louis A. Wiltz, governor of (Lou isiana, died on Sunday morning. His death was caused by consumption, and it came to the people of his State with out surprise. Mr. Wiltz was one of the best known and most popular men in Louisiana. He bad the support of the people almost as soon he was of age. He was first elected mayor of New Orleans, and afterwards he was speaker of the house, lieutenant governor, president of the constitu tional convention and governor. His loss will be deeply mourned in all the southwest. A copy of the first issue of the new Southern Watchman came to hand this week. While it is the first, and con sequently gotten up in a hurry, yet we must say that it is a good, newsy paper, and will take well with the people. There is nothing in it or a!)out it that will remind you of the old Watchman except the name. It ia new from stem to stern, and makes a handsome appearance. We wish the new concern much success— plenty of cash-paying subscribers and “ nrluJl, ■■ The Virginia Campaign, AS VIEWED BY ‘‘II. W. G.,” FOR THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION. Richmond, Va., October 17, 1881. —lt is doubtful if a more important political campaign than that being fought in Virginia today lias been waged in the south since the overthrow of the carpet baggers. There are elements of discontent in the democratic organization of every southern State, and the result of the desperate and audacious experiment now being made in Virgiuia is awaited with interest. If the Mahone Riddle berger people manage to confirm this year the victory they won in 1879, they permanently disrupt the party in Virginia, and open the way for the splitting of the solid south from one end to the other. If, on the other hand, the democrats stick to their organization, and the readjusters are snowed in under a comfortable ma jority, there will be less disjiosition everywhere to attempt to lead the faithful out of camp. I confess that persistent inquiry among those best calculated to know ha 9 failed to give me any definite belief on the outcome of the present bitter struggle. Those who remember that up to within three days of the hour when Colquitt beat Norwood by over 54,000 majority, there were sensi ble men willing to bet that the latter would carry the State, will understand how difficult it is to make an intelligent estimate as to the result of a family quarrel among democrats. If I were forced to express an opinion I should say: 1. That democrats would elect Daniel and the State ticket, and that the readjilsters would possibly carry the legislature. Though I consider the first prediction much surer of fulfil ment than the latter. 2. That to beat Daniel, the read justers must poll more than 70,000 negro votes. It is doubtful if they can rally more than 50,000, which would give Daniel about 20,000 ma jority. SOME CALCULATIONS AND FORECASTS As to the legislature. It is very important to the democrats and debt payers that they should carry the legislature. This body elects a United States Senator to succeed Johnston, and will elect the judges of court of appeals, before which court the final adjustment of the State debt must be made. Of the senators who hold over, there are 12 readjusters, and 5 demo crats. So that the readjustee really enter the campaign with 7 votes advantage. The senate consists of forty members. Of the twenty-three yet to elect the democrats claim 14, but l think 12 would give them all they are really entitled to claim. If they elect 12 senators the senate would stand 17 democrats tp 23 readjusters. Of the 100 delegates to the house the democrats claim 59 as a reasonable certainty with a good chance at 61. If they elect 59 they will have a raa jority of two on joint ballot. The read justers concede that the democrats will probably get 52 delegates. So that it will be seen in any event the legis lature will be very close. As to the election of Daniel. In 1880, a square test of the strength of the three parties was made—each having an electoral ticket in the field. The democrats polled 95,000 votes for the regular Hancock ticket. The read justers polled 31,000 votes for their Hancock electors, and the republicans 85,000 for the Garfield electors. The readjustee, therefore, had less than one-third of the white democrtic vote, but their vote combined with the re publicans footed up 16,000, or 20,000 against the regular democrats. It is claimed that this majority of the coalitionists will be overcome by two separate forces. 1. There are many republicans who voted for the Garfield electors that will not vote for the readjusters. At the head of this element of debt paying republicans is General Wickham, the most prominent republican in the State. At the late republican conven tion when the fight was squarely made the Mabone republicans carried the day, but the opposition was so strong as to show that the vote would be seriously split. If ten thousand re publicans w!k> voted for Garfield electors, vote against the readjusters —or, as seems quite probable, twenty thousand fail to vote at all—the ma jority of the coalitionists will be wiped out. 2. There arc many white men, it is claimed, who voted for the readjuster . Hancock electors, who will not vote the Mabone ticket now. It is said tire full purpose of the Mabone move ment wa9 not then thoroughly under stood, and its perfect dependence on the republican vote not fairly demon strated. I saw last night a private letter from Major Daniel, who wrote from the southwest, a readjustcr stronghold heretofore. He wrote with a confidence that could not be simu lated, anil said the changes recorded were simply wonderful. Last night I saw standing in the rotunda of the Exchange hotel, a man of&trikiuir appearance. Hushed face and flowing sympathetic manners, lie was the center of a group, and with uncovered head and rather long hair, thrown back loosely, talking eagerly, but not excitedly. This was Riddle berger, “ the game-cock of the She nandoah,” as he is called. Asa man who on yesterday went on two dueling fields to meet two separate opponents, and stood at ten paces and received three pistol shots, he was picturesque if not heroic, and was a special center of interest. It is well understood that Itiddlebergcr will be the leading can didate of the readjusters for the United States senate if that party carries the legislatu re. Mr. Riddleberger talked very pleas antly with me on all subjects that came up. When I congratulated him on his escape from any harm in the double duels, he said: “ I never had a dueling pistol in my hand until I went in the field with Mr. Wise. lam a good shot with a rifle, and I presumed I could shoot reasona bly well with a dueling pistol. The heavy notch that is cut in the rear sight threw me out entirely. It is cut wide and deep for rapid sighting. I suppose, but is not adapted to accurate firing. A variance of a 16th of an inch in the sight would make a dif ferencc of a foot or two in the distance of ten paces. This threw my aim out and I presume did that of Mr. Wise. Ilis first ball passed very near my face, and the second went thre ugh the sk>rt of my coat.” “ At what distance did you fire?” ** At ten paces. As far, I suppose, as from here to that door,” pointing to a door that looked dangerously near. When asked what he thought of the political outlook, Mr. Riddleberger said : ‘‘l feel confident that wc will carry the State. I have been canvassing steadily and may possibly have been less able to take an impartial view of the matter than one who was out of the fight and simply a looker-on I am sure though that the zeal and enthusiasm of the readjusters every where is greater now than it was in 1879, when wc carried the State easily. We have grown stronger since then, and will poll a larger vote. We have the argument on the funder speakers, for they declare that they do not want to increase the taxes, and are 3*et in favor of paying the debt. This is, of course, absurd. They abandon the McCullough debt bill, and therefore stultify themselves.” “What do you think of the legis lature?” •• We shall certainty carry the senate, and very probably the bouse. There is hardly a chance that we will lose the legislature. If the voters can pay their poll tax and get ont a full vote, we will elect 63 of the 100 delegates.” Mr. Riddleberger is a slender, tall man, quick-motioned and frank. It is a notable evidence of the decisive quickness with which he acts, that the two cards insulting him appeared in the State newspaper one evening, and the next morning he was on the field with both of the gentlemen who had insulted him. I had a talk with Colonel Robert Berkely, of Fauquier county, who is one of the best posted men in the State, and probably the largest cattle grower. lie said : “We are certain to elect Daniel, and to carry the legislature. You doubtless see that the cities are almost solid for Daniel. You might inquire of the first twenty men you meet in the cities, and you would find fifteen of them for Daniel. The readjusters admit this, but claim that they have the rural precincts. Now I know to the contrary. In Fauquier county we will give Daniel 800 majority. There are just 286 readjustee in our county. In Loudon county, next to Fauquier county, and the richest rural county in the State, the majority will he even larger. The truth is the people are waking up rapidly to the true inward ness of the Mahonc movement, and they see that it means mischief in every sense. Old Virginia will come up right, and will give Daniel from 20,000 to 30,000 majority.” Colonel Buford, of the Richmond and Danville road, says: “ There is no doubt of Daniel's election. The readjusters will not be able to poll the white vote they did in 1880, when they got 31,000. They will get the negro vote, but nothing like a solid negro vote. From the in formation I get I put Daniel’s majority at 20,000.” Ex-Congressman Goode, who was beaten for congress, is now bearing the democratic banner, a candidate for the legislature, and who has just canvassed the State pretty thoroughly, says: We will carry the State by from 10,000 to 20,000 majority. The white vote will be polled with more care than ever before, while the negroes are taking less interest than usual. The careful discussion of the issues is convincing many colored people that the real interests of the State will be best subserved by voting the demo cratic ticket —and the most intelligent of them are acting on this conviction,” I do not think Col. Goode is as con fident of carrying the legislature as lie is of electing Daniel—but he hopes that the victory will be a sweeping one. Let me close this hurried letter with a prediction that will keep at. least till November—a majority of 14,000 or better for Daniel, and a majority of six o. better on joint ballot for the democrats. Stick a pin there ! 11. W. G. "Don’t know half their Value.” “They cured me of Ague, Bilious ness and Kidney Complaint, as recom mended. I had a half bottle left which I used for ray two little girls, who the doctors and neighbors said could not be cured. I would have lost both of them one night if I had not given them Hop Bitters. They did them so much good I continued their use unt’l they were cured. That is why I say you do not know half the value of Hop Hitters, and do not recommend them high enough.” —H , Rochester, N.
