"WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCT. 27, 1880.
The Contrast.
We have an anneunceiuent te-day
from Richmond, Virginia, that the Re
publican candidate for Congress in that
district has withdrawn at the request of
the Republican national committee, in
favor of the " Readjuster " or Mahone
.part', the reason assigned being that
its candidate is sound en the tariff.
That does net explain whether he in
clines te free trade or protection, the
Republican idea of soundness enjthe
tariff question varying very much with
the locality. But it does net matter in
this case, since the assigned motive for
the withdrawal of the Republican candi
date is net the real one. It has been done
because of the alliance entered into lie
tween the Republican party of Virginia
and the wing of the Democratic party
which proposes te repudiate the settle
ment made with tha creditors of the debt
of the state, which wing has just been
discountenanced by the Democratic na
tional committee, through its request te
the Democrats of Virginia te vote for
the electoral ticket nominated by the reg
ular and debt-paying organization.
The alliance between the Republicans
and the followers of Mahone in Virginia
has long been notorious, but the espec.
ial significance of the news we new have
is that the National Republican organi
zation has recommended and endorsed
this alliance between its followers and
the Virginia Reputlinlienisls. This gives
a national interest and significance te a
local contest, since the Republican party
is thereby compelled te defend the cause
with which it has allied itself. That
cause being one of repudiation it fellows
that the national Republican party is
put by the action of its representative
committee in the position of sustaining
the repudiation and the repudialers of a
slate debt.
We say that the se-called "Readjuster "
party of Virginia is in fact a party of
Repudiation, although by the name it has
taken it seeks te persuade itself that it
prope.ws only te " readjust " and net te
repudiate the slate debt. Still te the
common sense of unprejudiced men who
understand the question the attitude of
llahene's party is strictly one of Repudi
ation ; and it is the only attitude it has,
since it has severed itself from the regu
lar Democratic organization solely upon
this question of debt and has absolutely
no ether principle or doctrine for its
foundation. The question between the
two branches of the Democratic party
briefly stated was just this : The
debt of the state, .since the war,
has been adjusted by the Legis
latiue which threw a third of it upon
West Virginia, and agreed te discharge
the ether two-thirds upon certain condi
tions which were accepted by the credi
tors and carried out for a time by the
state. The executive and judicial de
partments of the state haw affirmed the
validity of the contract, anil no earthly
chance of doubt exists that the state is
bound by it. The Democratic parly
stands by the contract and the law:
the ' Readjuster" faction has separated
itself from it en this issue. It gels its
vitality from the leadership of Mahone,
who has ground his axe with it and get
into the United States Semite by it and
an alliance with the Republicans in the
Legislature. He proposes te erect a party
en this combination, which will make
him political master of Virginia. The
Republicans of the state are disposed te
help him, having nothing te lese, and
everything te gain.
The Republican party of the nation
has gene new into the same combina
tion; but it lias something te lese by it;
and if its voters have any sense of right
and self-respect about them it will have
a great deal te lese. Hew can a party
which pretends all ever the nation te be
the defenders of national, stale and in
dividual credit, and te bear upon its
shoulders the "business interests" of
the nation, go down into Virginia and
take into its arms a party of dirty Re
pudiation's without being smirched by
the association se markedly as te exhibit
te the people its absolute insincerity and
its disposition te sell its birthright for a
miserable little mess of pottage!
See the contrast ! The national Demo
cratic committee repudiated the repudia
tion's of Virginia: the. Republican
national committee embraces them !
The Flerida Fruiul.
Theevider.ee of the fellow voyager of
these New Yerk roughs te Flerida shows
that when they reached there, they had
no business with the railroad they weie
reported te have been sent out te, but
did seem te have business with the Re
publican parly. If these men went te
Flerida en a political mission no one will
need te be convinced that they went
there in the Republican interest, since
it is manifest that Flerida is a state in
which there is no need for Democratic
repeaters. The exceeding weakness and
felly of Chairman Jewell's explanation of
his telegram that came se strangely
and providentially te light is found in
his statement that he thought these men
were being sent te Flerida as Dem
ecratic repeaters and that therefore he
telegraphed te the collector of the
pert te leek out for them. Ne one can
deny the absurdity of such a suspicion
en the part of Mr. Jewell, and lie was
desperately bad off for a hole te crawl
out of when he dropped en this. He in
fact confessed his own guilt by his ex
planation, and his concession that these
men had gene te Flerida as repeaters;
for he cannot persuade any one that they
were. Democratic repeaters. It is hardly
worth while adding any evidence te
Mr. Jewell's admission te show that he
was sneaking voles into Flerida; it could
hardly be mere satisfactorily proved if
he had been delected putting them en
beard the ship ; found sailing with
them.
Of course with this belief we must con
sider that Mr. Jewell has deliberately
lied in his.stntemeutte the public. That
is adifiicuHy it is I rue: but net an in
surmountable one by any means in view
of the faculty (nv deliberate falsification
which has been devclejied in Republican
leaders in this campaign. We must also
consider Mr. Jev II te be a wry .stupid
man te tell a lie that is se apparent.
That, tee, is a difficulty ; for the chair
man of the Republican national commit
tee ought net te be a feel. But hew else
can yen possibly designate a man who
says he thought that the Democrats were
sending voters fromXewYerk, where they
will certainly need all they can get, te
Flerida, where they have plenty of them
te spare 'i If the voyage of these people
had bt.en reversed and New Yerk their
destination, Mr. Jewell might have had
a case. But evidently he was tee much
confused by the sudden uncovering of
his little game te get his wits in geed
order te get him out of trouble ; and se
he has get into into it very deep indeed.

O. Heward, and te the officers and soldiers
of the Army of the Potomac, for the skill

Lincoln' Opinion of Ilanvecl:.
" Seme of the elder generals huce said le
me that he is rash, and I have said le than
that I hue watched General Hancock's con
duct very carefully, and 1 hate found that
when he gees into action he achieves his pur
pose and comes out iciiha smaller list ofcas efcas
uallicslthan any of them. If his life and
atrriiflh arc spared I believe thai General
Hancock is destined te be one of the Most
distinguished men of the age.''
And te show hew much he thought of
I him Mr. Lincoln declared that he always
opened his morning mail in fear and trem
bling lest he would hear that Gen. Han
cock had been killed or wounded.
MINOR TOPICS.
Oxk of the most pleasant .surprises in
this life is te awake in the morning feeling
"awful sleepy," spring quickly out of bed
under the impression that it is lale, and
then suddenly remember that it is Suud ay
and you can lie in bed ten hours longer if
you want te.
Tin: entire business of the government
has virtually come te a .stand.-lill. The
heads of departments and chiefs efbureaus
have been absent during the greater part
of the summer en the stump. The under
strappers are new called upon te perform
their work. All arc expected te go home
and vote. The exodus was begun last
Saturday, and it has been kept up without
intermission ever since. In one of the
rooms of the war department, where forty
clerks constitute the force, there are only
seven clerks en duty. Other branches of
the government are .similarly depleted.
The clerks are regularly paid off daily, and
the mere impecunious ones are assisted te
their homes te vote.
Tiik managers of the Singer sewing ma
chine company's works, in Eli.abethpert,
N. J., have at length taken a decided
stand against the efforts of the unscrupu
lous men who have been attempting te
frighten their Democratic employees into
voting the Democratic ticket. A high
official of the company has promulgated
the following notice, which has been cir
culated ameug the men : " Ne bulldozing
or coercion of employees is or will be tol
erated, but the men are and will be left
free te the exercise of their own convic
tions, uuawed and unsolicited by the com
pany te de otherwise. Further, the man
agers premise te reinstate any employee
who may have been discharged en any
political ground whatever, if such there
be, and the boss or foreman who se offends
will himself be discharged." This notice
has put.a quietus en the small beer politi
cians who have been trying te mislead the
Singer operatives, and the men are begin
ning te come out in accordance with their
party predilections, as in past years.

Headquarters.
Mr. A. D. McCabe, of Monmouth county
. J., was a fellow-passenger with one in-
N
stalmcut of Chairman Jewell s repeaters
forwarded from this city te Flerida. An
affidavit from him is te be printed in the
Sun. The weight of 3Ir. 31cCabe's testi
mony is signally emphasized by the fact
that he could have had no intimation of
the scheme contemplated by the Republi
can managers, since he left Jacksonville
en his return te New Yerk en October 1(5,
or nearly a week before Mr. Jewell's tele
grams were published. He said quite
enough, however, te arouse his own sus
picions, and the facts recited by him ac
quire a sinister meaning in the light of the
dispatches. The affidavit is as fellows :
Asncnv Jark, .Monmouth Ue., -. J.
Allen D. 3IcCabe, being duly sworn, de
poses and says that he is a resident of
Oceau Greve, Monmouth county, N. J. ;
that en October 1, 1880, he left New Yerk
en the steamer Western Texas for Flerida ;
that there were en beard the same vessel,
in the steerage, about a hundred rough
looking fellows, who, according te the
statement made by the captain of the ves
sel te this deponent, were railway laborers
hired te work en the Way Cress and East
Flerida railroad. Deponent says that the
said railroad is a line projected between
Fernandina and Jacksonville ; that some
work has been done en the 1 crnandma
end, but that no work is new being done
or is apparently in contemplation en the
Jacksonville end. Deponent further says
that en the arrival of the Western Texas
at Fernandina en the evening of Tuesday,
October 5, the alleged laborers were land
ed at Fernandina, but that en Saturday
October 9, deponent saw a number of the
men in Jacksonville, and that en Monday,
Octeber.ll, he saw and recognized in the
streets of Jacksonville nearly the whole
body of the alleged workmen who had
come down en the steamer ; that deponent,
knowing no work had been begun en the
Jacksonville end of the Waynesburg read.
interrogated several of the men as te their
business in that place, saying : "I thought
you fellows had come down te work en
the railroad," te which the answer was :
"We ain't going te work en no railroad ;'"
that te further inquiries they refused te
make any reply and walked away, and de
ponent further says that from October 0 te
10, at which latter date he left Jackson
ville for New Yerk, he saw great numbers
of the alleged laborers going up te the
Republican headquarters en Bay street ;
that he asked the reason of their visits te
said headquarters, but received no answer,
and deponent fuithcr says that Horatio
Jenkins, jr., is the chairman of the Repub
lican state executive committee of Flerida.

Al. Deuly, the horse thief, who for

This morning about half-past 8 o'clock
as Henry Baumgarduer was driving en
North Queen street, near Orange,his phae
ton was upset and he was thrown te the
pavement, being .severely bruised about
the hips. The accident was caused by tac
tongue of a heavy freight wagon striking
the hind wheel of Mr. Banmgardner's
phaeton while the driver of the freight
wagon was crossing the railroad track"te
get one ei me way ei another wagon.
When the whel j of the freight wagon
struck the railroad track or one of "the
many protruding Belgian blocks, the
tongue was suddenly lurched te one side,
struck the wheel of the phaeton and upset
it. Mr. Banmgardner's injuries are net
considered serious.
In connection with this accident it may
net be amiss te call the attention of the
city authorities te the very imperfect and
irregular manner in which the Belgian
pavement is laid along the line of the
street railway. In some places the blocks
are depressed far below the level of the
rails and in ether placer, far above it. The
contractors or the street committee should
be instructed te make the necessary repair
before cold weather sets in.

ISuIcs for Field Trials.
The following rules adopted by the as
sociation te govern field trials will give
sportsmen and novices a better idea of the
purposes of the association and the man
ner in which such mceMngs as tluy present
arc conducted :
Dogs shall be drawn iu braces by let,
and run in heats, the beaten dogs te be
retired (except as hereinafter provided),
and the winners te be run again iu the
order in which they wen their successive
heats. If there should be a bye, the deg
getting the benefit of the bye shall be run
iu the first heat of the next scries of
heats. If two dogs, owned aud exhibited
by the same person, should be drawn te
run together, or come together in any suc
cessive heat, the second deg shall change
place with the next deg in the or
der of running. This shall be continued
until only two dogs remain, and the win
ner of these two shall be winner of first
prize. The last deg beaten by the winner
of first prize shall compete for second prize
with the best of these dogs previously
beaten by the winner of the first prize.
The winner of this heat shall be declared
winner of second prize. The deg beaten
in this heat shall compete with the best of
these previously beaten by the second
prize winner, and the winner shall be
third in the race. The discretion is given
the judges of deciding which is the best of
these beaten dogs iu the competition for
second and third places by selection, or by
running extra heats between them.
When two dogs, owned or trained by
the same person, shall be drawn together,
one shall run only in that heat, and he with
the next deg in the order of running, net
se owned, unless at the latter end of a trial
it be found impossible te avoid running
two such dogs together, when it may be
permitted. A withdrawal from any heat
is a withdrawal from the race. If in draw
ing there be a bye, aud a deg be withdrawn
in this heat, the deg with the bye and the
ether deg in the heat withdrawn from,
shall be compelled te run against each
ether, as if se drawn.
The judges shall order up the dogs
as seen as they have determined which
is the best, according te the scale
of points in Rule 5. The privi
lege is granted the judges of ordering up
any deg or brace of dogs, that have net
suilicicnt. merit, in their opinion, te get
placed ; but these ma- be put down again
if there is a pessible chance for them le
win.
Positive points for merit : Pointing, Xi ;
pace, 15 ; backing, 7 ; style, 6 ; stauch-nc-ss.
8 ; ranging, 5 ; quartering, 8 ; ebe
dience and disposition, 6 ; retrieving, 10
total, 100. Negative points for demerit :
False pointing, 1 te 5 ; breaking in (each
offense), 5 ; breaking shot (caclwrffcnsc),
8; chasing or breaking shot ana chasing
(each offense), 12.
Ne person except the judge, attendants
and reporters will be permitted te accom
pany the handlers of dogs. Twe persons
will net be permitted te work ene deg or
a brace of dogs. If from any cause the
handler of a deg or a brace of dogs is dis
abled te such an extent that he cannot
sheet, the judges shall appoint a person te
sheet for him. The handlers of the ;two
dogs shall go together as if it wcre a brace
of dogs, se that the dogs shall be upon an
equality as te ground, opportunities for
pointing, etc. Ne spectators will be allow
ed nearer the handler of the dogs than
Fcvcnty-five yards te te the rear, and a
marshal shall be appointed te enforce this
law. JNe person shall make any remark
about the judges or dogs in hearing of the
judges. Such person se offending shall be
expelled from the grounds. Should
any handler of des annoy the judges after
having been ordered te desist, the judges
shall order such dogs as he is handling up
and out of tiie race. The privilege is
granted the handlers te ask the judges for
mlormatien or explanation ?':.it lias a di
rect bearing upon any point at issue;
pending such question the dogs shall net
be under judgment. Dogs afflicted with
any contagious disease, or bitches in sea
son, will net be permitted en the grounds.
Pointing fur, feather, or reptiles shall
net be considered making a false point. A
deg making a false point and discovering
it te be such, without encouragement from
his handler, shall net be penalized.
Governing the Judges.
The following regulations govern the
judges in their decisions and awards :
(Pointing) The judges will allow only
such dogs the raaxmum that
point all the birds possible
for them te point under existing
circumstances ; a deg te earn the maxmum
number of points under this head must dis
play a lirst class nose and exhibit great
judgment in finding and pointing his birds,
and make no flushes that a deg with the
above qualities would avoid in ordinary
hunting. The dogs arc te be hunted in all
respects as in an ordinary day's sheeting.
Inexcusable or willful Hushes will detract
from a deg's score under this head,but the
character of the flush must be always taken
into account in estimating the penalty, if
any. The judges must net ask the hand
lers if their dogs arc pointing, but must
decide for themselves. They shall always
consider the nature of the ground, the
wind and the birds, and net penalize a
deg for flushing a bird it would be impos
sible te point. The penalty for
flushes te be graded by the
character of the elfensc. The judges
shall net require the handlers te work
their dogs down wind. Judges are allowed
the discretion of declaring a deg or dogs
out of the heat if absent when called.
(Pace) The deg that maintains the
fastest gait throughout the trial, except in
cover or en game, te rcccive the fall num
ber of points, all ethers te be graded by
him.
( Backing The maximum enlv allow-;!
such dogs as stand or drop promptly at)
sight or another deg pointing. But no I
deg shall be expected te back unless the
deg pointing stands and is motionless. A
deg shall net be said te refuse te back
unless he sees the deg pointing. Te get
credit for a back the deg must step at
least tea yards (when practicable) in front
of the handler.
(Style) The judges shall consider the
deg's grace in ranging and drawing, the
attitude in pointing and backing.
(Staunchness) The maximum allowed
such dogs only as de net advance from
their point when they are en game, until
ordered en.
(Ranging) The maximum only allowed
the dogs that maintain the most killiug
range throughout, viz.: wide or close, a
the necessity of the case may require.
(Quaitcring) The maximum only
allowed such dags as work at
right angles with the handler, unless
the nature of the ground renders such work
irapractible.
(Obedience aud disposition) The max
imum only allowed te a deg that works
promptly te the gun, without neise or se
verity, and is obedient, prompt, cheerful,
and easily handled.
(Retrieving) Te receive the maximum
under this head a deg shall go promptly
and cheerfully for the bird, and deliver it
te the handler without mouthing or mu
tilation. (False pointing) The judge shall give a
deg ample opportunity te discover whether
or net he is en a Inte point, and the pen
alty shall range from 1 te 5 for his acts
throughout the heat.
(Brcakingin) Is when a deg through im
perfect breaking or from cxeitc
mcut leaves his position when the
birds rise, whether the guu is fired or
net, aud starts te break shot or chase, but
steps within a few feet of the point from
which he started, of his own accord, or at
command.
(Breaking shot) Is when a deg runs in
when a shot is fired, with the intention of
getting the bird, aud does net step prompt
ly at command.
(Chasing) Is when a deg fellows the
birds cither when the gun is lired or net, te
an extent te be beyond the control of the
handler for the time being.
In the Nursery stakes no points aic al
lowed for retrieving. The Brace stakes
slightly modify the rules for the All Age
stakes.
Tiie Present TtlaN.

meeting of the association in this city and
the trials in this county attracted the

press."
On the special train, which took the
members and spectators te Quarry villc at
9 a. m. yesterday for the first day of the
trials, there were sixty persons, of whom
mere than half were from ether parts of
the state than Lancaster, the largest repre
sentation being from Pittsburgh. They
leek with thorn tha dogs entered te? the
AH Age stakes as fellows :

The excursion reached Quarryville at 10
a. m., and the dogs net te be engaged in
the trials having been tied up, the party
proceeded te the grounds selected
for the purpose which wen
a short distance south of the
village, opposite the Reformed church, en
the property of C. 31. Hess. The pairs
having been drawn in accordance with the
above rules the braces were as fellows :
First heat : Palmer O'NeiU's (Pitts
burgh) Dash; II. C. Stehman's. Oliddle Oliddle
tewn) Pat, Ne. 2.
Second heat : Isaac Vearslcy's (Coatcs (Ceatcs
ville) Rexcy ; J. J. Snellenberg's (Pitts
burgh) Thunder.
Third heat : Isaac Yearsley 's Countess,
J. J. Snellenberg's Butten.
All of the above wcre setters except
Butten, who is a jwintcr.
The above heats wcre all that the asso
ciation was able te run yesterday, even
the last net being finished. The remain
ing heats of this trial arc te be run te-day.
At the outset of the trials great diffi
culty was experienced and much disappoint
ment occasioned by the scarcity of birds.
It had been represented that the grounds
wcre favorable for trials and it is com
plained that they have been hunted ever
recently.
The Trials.
After the lirst brace, Pat Second and
Brown's (formerly O'Neill's) Dash had
run an hour and ten minutes, they were
takeu up and Dash declared the winner of
the heat, he having made one point and
Pat net a point. The second brace,
Thunder and Rexcy, after ltcing down an
hour and fifteen minutes, were taken up
and Thunder awarded the heat. Each
made a point. Frem the conclusion of
this heat, at 1:15 p. m. te 1: 15, the next
brace, Butten and Countess ran without
either getting a point. Countess made a
flush and the heat will have te be ended
te-day.
The judge.-: of the trials for the whole
meeting arc B. F. Wilsen, of Pitts
burgh ; J. 31. Tayler, of Lexington, Ky.,
and W. A. Cester, of Fiat hush, L. 1.
The scarcity of birds yesterday was
quite a drawback te the trials, aud if it
continues will greatly prolong the time
necessary te complete them. Besides
their natural scarcity and their depiction
in advance of the trials the rains of Mon
day night had a tendency te drive them te
thick cover.
At all events the management concluded
net te risk disappointment at the same
place aud this morning the trials were re
sumed at a point near 3Ianhcim, the dogs
left at Quarryville being brought up this
morning and the conclusion of the All Aged
stakes is new in progress.
The prizes fertius stake arc : First prize
100, second, $50 ; third, ?25.
