THE ROANOKE NEWS. SATURDAY, NoYEMUEli In, lTS. IlAUl'liU's WUKKI.Y is tllO first-pfM?r to editorhlly tell us the "Lesson of the Klecliou." Life is too short to read its article. Y s. RrP!;r,, it it announced will tint go into the Republican caucus, which makes u$ infer that the publi can party is becoming decent. Tiik Fta'e of (California hm become o important a factor in the next Pre-iii-Mitial campaign that at its next sessiori Cjnjress w expected to pass laws look, inj to the checking of Chinese immi gration. Wi: are gltid to hear that our old friend, ard colaborer. Oil. 1'. Donan in tends making n trip through the 8 iuih soon. Wo bh.tll be gl td to sco our game, generous and rather cmt.ki friend once more, and see if the world bus been as good to him as it ou-jht to Lnte been since wo saw each other last. Yi: hear it rumored th.it Coloocl 'Wad Jell ill Le a candidate for the sec retaryship of the United States Senate. We hope; th'n is not true. Not thnt we do not nibh Col. Wnddrll success if he watts tho oflice.- In faet nc are in clined to be!iec that this gentleman C .eld hntc no aspirations in bIi'ilI) we would not support him to the extent of r ur ability, b itli personally and editor ially. But we conceits that Colonel Wndd.-l.'fi lolpnte arn too brilliimr ntwl his capacity for usefulness too great In be buried in the comparative retirement of the (dice alluded to. There will be anotlur congressional race in 18S0, and re want Col. Waddell to save himself for it. A single defe t and under cir cumstances such, as were presented this year will not hurt any man, unless be gives way under it. THE SOLID NOtTII. We "fear the Greeks even when beating gifts," and by analogy when we nre tfl'ered advice by our enemies we are loth to take it. For this reason, nhen we bear the clamor and outcry raised by the Iihdicals against the lulid South, and see the earnestness witb which they protest, tint a solid Sou'.li by causing a olid North will cause the ruin of Demo cracy we smile, as it were, aod cannot refrain from wondering vt bat candidate was ever strengthened by taking voles away from hitn ; and if any designing sharper ever made his victim drunk by taking the whiskey out of bit toddy. B it such is the logical result of the or gumei.t that the Democratic candidate fur the presidency io 1880, will be strengthened by tho withdrawal from him of some of the votes of the South ern States. Oir experience is that the surest way to elect a candidiite is to gie him every vote possible, that the surest way tn trake a man drunk is to fill bis glass wit'j whiskey every ti.-ne, and, as experience is the best teacher we are inclined to thii.k that or judgment io this behalf is nearly correct. Not that we are ia the least hide bound in the matter. 1'jr instance we would have no hesitation in making a fair swnp with the Kids. Thus if the R publicans who are so solicitous as t- our D.'mocritis welfare will guarantee to us the votes or Njw York, Pennsylvania and Ohia in the next electorul college, we arc- perfectly willing to meet them hulf.ny and to givo them Siulh Caro lina, Florida and Mississippi. Xw is fairness. This is reciprocity. If Re publicans are really honest in wishing to see the solid South disintegrated, let loom accept this proposition. And e really think tint upon the whole it would not le a bad trjijo fr them, for it is not yet certain that wo will uot carry the States named in l-O. THE lS(;iU.SIOiI. I.LEC 1 1(. List week the Nr.ivs was entirely de foted to giving the result of tho election. TVe fnd, however, that alter all our care !i gs'.t:::g the latest and must reliable returns that wo were led ii ,rror in one. and probably two or the districts ia this State. In tha third district Col. Waddcll is certainly defeated, atjd a. thoujt. we receive tidings M we go to pross that the vote of Hydo eountv will elect Maj. Teates, we are still fearful of the result in the first district. We have, however, great cause for Emulation iu. ti election of the gMlant Kitchin, which is pow beyond doubt, ia the triumph of Joe Davis in the fourth district by a majority over the combined fuU of bis opponents greater than the district bas ever before been carried by, in the defeat .hint. Tourgee, backed as he was by the money of tbe Indian Ring, bas met at the hands of Genl. Scales io th9 fif,hi nd in the election of eur other candi dates, General Vance aod Colonels Sieeloand ArmfieH, all g,od on and . ..uiauv any opposition worthy of V0 aiwa-t ft' I!ut in spite of all tlieie good things we can but iew with the deepcitcoi. cero the loss of Col. V.'addell and the possible loss of M ,j. Yeatet, and the causes lending thereto. These muses in thecabe of Maj. Veates ore, we are glad to say, nothing more than eeneral apathy on the part of tho people and lax performance of duty on. ihe part of executive committees. Cipt. Coke and Maj. Latham the prominent opponents of Ma j i eates for the nomination, were hit most earnest advocates on the stump, each of them working for Yeates as hard as he could have done fur himself. But in the '.bird district the circumstan ces are s.icb, as give u too mujh rea son to fear that Cl. Waddcll was staD bed in the home of bis fiiends. We fear that some of his enemies, of which he bas some, as does ecry man who deeres friend?, have regarded Col. H'addell's defeat at the pi. Us as an in dispensable pre-req lisite to bis defeat in the nominating convention, and that to vaulting ambition which overleaps itself hi, l to the cuwara's weapon, treachery, we owe the defeat of that mic, who, it is no slight to our other able representatives to say it, wo could least ufTird to luso from the Halls of Congress, li.it on this sulj-ct we cat. not enlarge. It is ungrateful to us nt best, and the result ol the election has shnnti so n.i.tli of division, such lack of discipline already io our ranks, that ooiv U not the proper time to discuss who has rut d tie his duty To our own district, then we turn with pride and Gratification. Here at least no disappointed ambition has been permitted to crip out,, blasting the l 'Torts nf the true and brave,, and the j result is worthy of the men who lab red to bung it about. In 1871, the It publican candidate Ilunau was elected by ab lut 8,000 majority. Now we have changed all that and this year we elect Kitchiu by 1,200. This is a victory of which we may be justly proud, and too much praise cannot be given to Capt. Galloway, the chairman of the demo cratic Executive Committee of the dis tnct, to whose al'Io a id untiring work the glorious result is in a great measure to be attnbuled. And the vide of the couity of Warren tells us that there is yet another man who deserves that bis name be shouted io our rxins of victory. Col. Wbartm J. Green of (he County of Warren, was the most promi nent opponent of Capt. Kitchin for the nomination. When the nomination was made ho pledged his strongest ef forts in behalf of the nominee. The re- suit has proven that these pledges were no empty words In 1S70, Warren county gave 1 200 Itidical mejirity Since then site has steadily given ma jorities ranging from one to two thous and against us. This year her gallant son more than made good bis word, and for the first time sinco negro en franchisement, the good old county gse a clear majority to a Democratic nomi nee. Ttre are other elections in the future, and the Pemocrac of the Stale, and district will not forget Col. Green and bis services in this campaign, when other and higher honors are to be awarded.

There is a curloi!-, story about some native wines which urn extensively advertised nowa days, nnd have onlv recently been put upon the market. Dr. Cnderhill, the well-known crape-grower cf Croton Toint, died in i87r. Some of his heirs entertained temperance views cf such extreme kind, thst they were unwilling to allow the stock cf v inrs ihen on hand to be sold or any more to be made. The crapes have sometimes been sent to mark, t, and sometimes left to decay upoa the vines. Ii i; enlynow that the ether beks have .succeeded in crrr.npng for a settlement cf the c ia:,: nnd tho sale of the wines on hand. Among these h a wine of the vintage cf 1S64, described as a " Sweet Union Tort," but suggesting the Imperial Tokay mora than nny o'her European vine, -ami being; wholly unlil.: any other vine of American Rrdwrti. hj r-f'ty. nSe anil mellowncsi are remarkable, r:id belli physicians and me f.mcicr.; have a special interest in ii as the oldest r.aiivc wine now r.ccrsfiMe in eny cor siderable nyantitv.'
