THE STAUNTON CONVENTION.

We submitted some comments in our paper
last week, upon the subject Of the proposed
Stamtoa Coprertion of the friends of Consti-
m,onal Reform. After our paper had gone
TO press, we received tins "Richn,0nd Enq,ti-
rer, IN which we observe Communication
signed am Eastern Republican" whom the
Editors endorse as warm and sincere friend
OF the cause, The Enquirer directs the atten-
ton oil the Relormers of the West TO the arti-
cie-aud we insert it with pleasure. as we
think it contains many wholesome views, and
presents considerations worthy of the attention
ofe every true friend Of the cause. We sbould
have been better pleased, had this communi-
hon appeared month or six weeks earlier
Ws are the more inclined, to think well of an
'Easiern Republicans" suggestions, because
wssee wrong direction has been givsn to the
"SlaH1ton COnrmtioa," at least, according to

Neutrality-suspicious..

Messrs. Editors:--I perceive some Of
the friends Of constitutional Reform. in The
| West, are proposing 10 hold Convention
at Stanton, on the nth Of August. TO be
composed Of Delegates from every county
in the State. The desiga, is. think, a
good one--but the time and place objec-
iionable. The period proposed, is too
near at hand, to enable the different coun-
lies 10 act. The season Is busy one, and
the DOG days" in August too sultry, hot
and dusty, 10 entice the Delegates TO travel
far from home. A Convention, assembled
under these circumstances, would prove
10 be failure, and the cause Of Reform,
instead Of being promoted, would be re-
tarded and greatly injured by it. Besides,
Siaunion is not the proper place. II lis too
Inaccessible, compared with other towns,
and belongs to The well known Convcn-
ton side of the Blue Ridge, where no
sauiary influence can, Of course be exert
ed. propose, therefore, that the Con-
vention assemble in the Capitol of the
State on the 10Th of December next
that every county in the State be urgently
solicited 10 send as numerous delegation
as practicable, composed not of sectional
ufrmstS, whose patriotic ardor animates
only only one hoifof their hearts, while
sectional prejudice flights and withers the
other, but whotesouied patriots, like Thomas
Jefferson, who delight 10 contemplate the
grandeur and glory of Virginia as one
united and mighty whoie. Let this Con-
vention, fresh from The people" delibe-
rate in the very presence of the members
Of the Legislature, in that spirit of for
bearance and mutual concession, which
characterized The actions of forefathers
Jet them compromise, as we'll they may,
the vexea question Of Representation,
upon terns, satisfactory both TO the East
aud the West, and then send forth calm,
considerate and well prepared address, ex-
posing the errors and evils OF the present
Constitution, contrasted with the benefits
and advantages of new one, based on
sound Republican principles. and equalz-
ing the rights and burhens Of the people.
and | hesitate not to predict that it would
tell upon the honest masses Of the State,
in every section and to every border, as
did the Declaration of Independence in
ZIG. Let il expose the evils of our pre-
sent judicial system, from the highest 10 the
lowest-the present overgrown and ever
increasing docket Of the Court of Appeals,
which may be truly termed ''he grave Of
Justice to which, if an unfortunate
sutton tran sfers his cause, he meets with
seven years round of costs, and will often
receive his judgment at the Bar Of God,
before he can get one at the Bar of this
Court.
But need not enlarge
upon these defects. They are palpable
and insufTerable. In conclusion, Messrs.
Editors, am mol welded to the day, but
| think the Convention ought to meet in
the city Of Richmond at some early day
after the commencement of the session OF
| the Legislature.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-A strange cir
cumstance occurred this morning in the Lower
Town. Two Indian females and younger
woman, clad as a squaw, entered Mr. WAT
KINFs store, for the purpose of dealing, when
the latter female was recognised by a woman
then present as the supposed missing daughter
OF a MIR. KINGsLANp, a stevedore in Chaplain
street kINGsLAND was sent for and confirmed
the supposition.
A strange scene therefore ensued The
young girl refused to leave the squaw, whom
she believed to be her mother, and resolutely
resisted the parental appeals of KINGsLANp-
The old squaw herself was equally anxious
and as vehementy claimed her adopted CHI lid
The parties Were finally brought before the
police magistrate, who received the deposition
of some Of them.--an the females are now in
jail awaiting farther inquiries.
From what we have heard Mr.. KINGsLANn

supposed she had fallen into the river and been
drowned. Shewas atthe time three years ofage
We hear that the mother (by adoptlon) Of the

LONDON, July 8, 1916.
Sir ROBERT PEEL's ministerial career is at an
end Ii closed last Monday night, after a de-
feat the previous week on the Irish Coercion
Bill. This result was effected by the combm-
cd vote of the Wings, who Were on principle
opposed to the measure, and the Protectionists,
who though in favor of the principle of the
bill, yet not having confidence in the Ministry,
refused to sustain it. This crossiire upon the
Ministry has been anticipated for some weeks
in fact, ever since the meeting at Lord JoHE
RUSsEIL's, early in the month of June-aRd
it was not possible TO parry It's shots. But on
the very night Of the Ministerial defeat in re-
gard to Ireland, Sir RoBERT had the high sat
isfaction of Witnessing the passage of the Corn
Bill through the House of Lords. This blen-
ded defeat and triumph to the same Minister,
on the same night, is something novel in the
annals OF party. 1t is said that SIR ROBERT
selected the Irish question on which TO fall
as the Ministry were divided in opinion regar-
ding the Sugar dutes-and he preferred to
fall presenting a united front, to exposing the
dIssensions OF his Cabinet to the view of the
