Truth is the child of time; ere long she shall appear to vindicate thee. -i Tmitanujel Kant. The Star has never by one word iuu icai wjvuj perpetra ted by Grant and the Electoral Com mission. It branded the fraud in such terms as was deemed jitting. It still regards that act of Bradley and his confederates in crime, by which the people of the United States were cheated out of their rights and their choice, as despicably mean and sbame ful, and it still believes and hopes that the people of the United States will vindicate their rights and drive from the offices of the Government all who march to the music of corrup tion and under the soiled and degra ded flag of Republicanism. We were for reform and reconciliation in the campaign f 1876. We are still for peace and reconciliation, and for gen uine, thorough reform now, and when the President chooses to act within the constitution, and inaugurates re form in the civil service of the coun try wo hold that he should be sus tained thus far. Every scoundrel who is driven from place and pelf; every wound that is healed; every wrong that is rectified, will bring the country back the sooner to a condition of prosperity and honor, and render the great work of the Democracy yet to begone the more complete and as sured. Whilst we would sustain the President when he does what is man ifestly right, as Gov. Hendricks said the Democrats should do, we are not forgetful of thair other declaration of his, that we must do this "because it is right and for the toelfare of, the country, and not at all because of any fealty to the party that stands de feated and condemned by the peo ple." This has been our position from the first. On ' June 23d we heartily re-echoed the grand sentiment of Gov. Hendricks, our Democratic can didate for Vice President, that 'a great and sincere, people will rest their final judgment only upon truth, and never, upon fraud successful through technicality." s In acting as Gov. Hendricks de clares all Democrats should act and in his party there is no rnrer. truer - . M. 7 - statesman it has never occurred to us for a moment that in any sense we condoned political crimes, made right wrong or wrong right, or, in any manner, lowered the high stan dard of political and social morality. We never; for a moment abandoned any " principle . or . surrendered any right to criticize sharply the' acts of the Government. .We have chosen to exercise that right on several oc- j casioBdnrj" -" titipjto j when the lines are drawn and the battle set in 1880, we intend to be in the fore-front bearing aloft the lusv trou8 banner of the Democratic party, which, though bullet-pierced f and storm-rent by the conflicts through which it has been borne in the past, is still bright and unstained. In that hour of conflict the Star will bo true to itself, true to North Carolina, true to the South, true to civil liberty, true to Democratic policy and prin-j ciple. WHAT THE NE8TOU OF THE PRESS SATS. ''. C. N. B. .Evans, Esq., is the oldest: editor in North , Carolina. He estab-j lished the Milton Chtonicle in 1841.1 For thirty-six years it has" been a' wide-awake paper, full of point and independence. During all those years x atuer avails uas oeen a faithful sentinel in the citadel of our 4171-. 1 n T7 . i. ' i country's liberties, and has ever been on the side of fair dealing and good government. This much he is end tied to, whether he agrees or disa grees with this paper or that. Well, the Chronicle of August 9th has one of its characteristically bold, ! open, independent articles that furnishes good reading for. these bull-dozing, intolerant times, , when it is worth your life or your good name to hold independent views and to give ex-. pressiou to your honest sentiments. Here is what "the oldest editor has to say:" 1 ; "The placid Raleigh Observer jumps lhe! Wilmington Stab for asserting that in North Carolina Democrats are not allowed to be candid, -just, frank and conciliatory,' wuuout ueing ucnouncea ana maligned."' The Observer takes issue and maintains that the Stab is mistaken. We are not so .cer tain about it perhaps it is the Star's ex perience. What saj's Gen. Leach ? "We do not believe in party masters and gaiiey-siaves. We believe in the largest ireeuom ior every man loaouis own think ing and express his own opinions. We never could sneeze when other people took snuff. In politics, just now. we concur wim men use uov. .nampton, .beach and others. Parties should always be based upon the country's good, and not upon the good or pecuniary interest of a set of po litical aspirants. And when a man at the head of this Government runs it in the in terest or the whole country, we shall en courage him in well-doing by shouting well done,' if it kills us regardless of what party put him in office, or who it pieases or displeases. : Honor to .whom honor is dne-and censure when and where censure is due, is our hand.

The lead ers 1. e. the office-holders say that it will break up the Republican or ganization in that city if it is carried out faithfully, as nearly all of the office holders belong to the ward as sociations. It is confessed by the papers of both parties that .the way things have been managed by office holders has proved a great curse to the country. But, as was ' to have been expected, in attempting to break up the ring system and ta compel officials to esche.w political meetings and to cease to be party clacqueurs and managers, the President meets with violent opposition'- at their hands. Is he right or wrong ? In Maine Jim Blaine and bis set re fused to indorse the President for what he' has -done in regard to the South. A resolution of approval j was, on motion of Blaine, laid on the table. Ought the resolution to have passed, or was Blaine and his follow ers right in laying it on the table, which is only another name for kill ing it as dead as a Maine mackerel ?

TIIK VIRGINIA NOMINATION, Our readers have been already in formed that Colonel P. M. W. Holli day, of Frederick county, has been nominated as a candidate for Gover nor of .Virginia, by the largest Con-; servative Convention that ever as sembled in that grandest ' of States. On the final ballot he received 852 votes, to Major Daniel's . 508. Col. hHolliday has a :ne reputation. He wa a good soldier, is a man of un blemished honor and of fair ability. He will doubtless make a faithful, dignified, efficient Chief Executive, and will never by word' or deed re flect discredit upon the Old Domin ion. We suppose his nomination is" equivalent to an election. Gen. William Mahone developed very remarkable strength, although defeated, when we consider the en tire circumstances. Ho had but few papers championing his cause, and had arrayed against him most power ful combinations, and yet, after lead ing the vote, he at last dictates the nomination, as was seen, by a large majority of his supporters going over to Col. Holliday. The speecheH made in his behalf in the Convention were exceedingly fine. The speech of Mr. John S. Wise is full of dash and vigor. It rings out like a bugle blast, and now aud then is really clas sical and eloquent. Major Striugfel low's address, in seconding the nomi nation of Gen. Mahone, is one of the chastest, most eloquent efforts we have read in years. The style is sin gularly smooth and refined,' the taste is admirable, and the thought and sentiment , both pressive. i elevating' and im- The great prima-dpnna, Adelma Patti, who married the Marquis de Caux, has fallen. She is a wicked woman, so the French courts de clare, and has fallen from the place of decency and respectability. A ju dicial reparation has been granted to her husband, who sued for the same. She intrigued with a certain tenor. singer, who was her professional companion. Henceforth she is a Pa riah, accursed and smitten, and' rests lln,i,, ,i, i f ,i , . . , under the ban of all decent sociotv.'l There must be something peculiarly; unwholesome in the atmosphere of theatres and opera-houses. Star after star that shone so respleudeutly in' the heaven of song and buskin have fallen, fallen into the dark abysmal depths of sin and shame, whence they come noj. back again. Patti is of1 Italian extraction, was born in Madrid, Spain, and made her debut and wort her first triumphs in the United Mates. Strakosch, her brother-in-law, trained her as an ar tint Sha mnln 1, f. . 1 . ! viov. juu iuauu net uiol uppeurano abroad in 1861. Here is some late gossip: . . "It has been noticed that during the re cent season at the Royal Italian Opera Mile. Patti never were oiamonda. Such jewelry as she was obliged to wear in "Traviata" and "Faust" was all false. This is attribu ted to the fact that under the French law the whole of the personal property of a wife against whom a verdict of seDaration has been given belongs to the disconsolate husband. The talk of Patti's partisans is that the Marquis de Caux has taken advan tage of this law. Others, again, say that sue aid not wear jewelry for the express purpose oi maxing ine puDlic believe that her hpsbandhad taken it away from her.' We do not object to courteous, just, manly comment upon the views of the Stab, but we do object to an unfair statement of the points at issue, and a palpable and ungenerous misrepresentation of what wo have said. We repeat for the hundredth time that we stand with an over whelming majority of the Southern Democrats that we. stand with all J I of the acknowledo-ed ablpnt. lonrlaa I .u..

If it be necessary to tax you to defend her honor, I shall commend taxation, though it makes us groan.' - "The noblest sentiment that knightly Virginian ever proclaimed throughout his long and brilliant career." current comrniKNT. And thus the President of the United States, with that invariable luck which has followed him through life, is afforded the opportunity of vindicating, to the confusion of his furious assailants-, the wisdom and high sense of duty to the Constitu tion and to Republican liberty, which enabled him to supply this aid to the Executive of States. m a legitimate way and for a legitimate purpose, by h.ave Federal government take posses withdrawing the United States troop's S2?

Zimmerman Stalemated Russians isufferlns In Ilealtb Grand Doke Nicholas to take Supreme Command In coming; Attacks on JPJevna A Great Battle In Prospect Halt la the Russian Advance &c. London, Aug. 11. Dispatches represent the several Russian positions as sale, but they are utterly in efficient for a renewal of offensive move ments. There are seventy thousand Turks at Lovalz and on the Plevna line, who the correspondent says will take a deal of beat injr. . .. ; On the Russian left flank the Czarewitch's army, which is available for holding the line from the Danube to the Balkans, num bers about sixty thousand. It is necessarily attenuated, over so long a front, so as to leave no cap for the Turks to creep through. The Turks are probably of about the same strength, but, if Mchemit Ali chooses to take the offensive he may concentrate at Rust chuk; Rasgrad and Osraan Bazar. The Russians must, therefore, be ready to face him everywhere, consequently they must re main strictly on the defensive The river Lorn still virtually constitutes the line ot the Kastchuk army. ' Gen. Zimmerman is stalemated. He is guarding Dobrudscha, which is not threat ened, and he cannot push forward with his 30,000 men lest his enemies from Varna and Shumla should converge upon him. The Russians are beginning to suffer in health, some of the corps from hard march ing, heat acd irrcgulations. The principal cause, however, is neglect of sanitary pre cautions, resulting in a general tainting of the air at Biela, which is thick and heavy with emanations from filth and rotting offal. Gen. Ignatieff is still confined to his room with gastric fever, and Frince Galatzia is also abed with the same complaint. Four out of five of the adjutant generals in at tendance on the Czar are ill. Nearly every body, more or less, is sick or squeamish.! The Grand Duke Nicholas himself will take supreme direction in the forthcoming attack on Jflevna. An occasional correspondent of the Times, at Vienna, says everything tends to show that Mehemet Ali and Sulieman Pasha are making great efforts to effect a junction by Stivno Pass, so as to dislodge the Russians from Tirnova. If they succeed in effect ing a junction, we may expect shortly to hear of a great battle, which will decide this year's campaign. ; l The lime? Bucharest special states that the Czar remains at Biela. Though the Russian army is being strengthened rapidly, there is little chance of any serious action for more than a week. . The Turks.instead of acting with energy and decision, and, strangest of all, the Rus sians have finally decided to stop short in their career without operating beyond the Balkans this year. They will probably succeed in clearing this side of the moun tains in one campaign, ; but meanwhile there must be much i sickness. ; Prince Charles has called out 12,000 Rou manian militia. - VIRGINIA.
