of majority of the counties of the district A
Democratic Convention, called to meet at the

and nominated John r. Chambliss, of Greensvlle

In the district composed of Charlotte, Prince

In the district composed of Rockbridge, Angus

interest felt in the Convention question. Messrs
A. H. H. Stuart and 7. J. Niche, of Augusta,
have addressed the people in public letters, stat
ing their views of State reform, and announcing
themselves as candidates. In Rockbridge, pub
lie meeting was held on the 18th, at Lexington.
and addresses were delivered by Dr. J. J. Moor

The amendment of constitution, in respect to a
fundamental law, by which people is to be governed
is not much less difficult than the Improvement OF the

y OF selecting the most experienced and sagacious men
to do the work, must be obvious When some twenty
odd years ago, the people had resolved to have con.
vention tor the purpose of amending the constitution
with that sort OF seriousness which the occasion reour-
ed they set work find the wisest men of the land:
then, there were no selfconstituted candidates.
The best men OF the country, Elk Presidents, Ex-Se-
nators and all those who might with most confidence
presume to say they could give you better constitution

OF the country coming forward fully confident that they
can etecually do that which the sages at former pc
had called upon them.
Alas, we have no more of that sort )" but we have

Weheartlly Join your correspondent A. B." in his
oburgations of that orphecide- player We encounted
HIM, lew nights since on Broad street, essaying to
play Old Dan Tucker" upon his bass instrument to
the delight of few musical connosseurs by whom he
was surrounded Nothing either in art or nature
could equal the fearful pecuartes of that solo, The
hootngs of an owl-the croakings of rayen-aye,
even the hoarse puffings of locomotive, possessed
harmony, when compared with the elaboration of
fendish noises produced upon that orpheclide Would
it be asking too much to request Captain Jinkins to
look after this reckless voator of all the known laws
OF harmony?
But to the serious The orpheclide may be a very
useful instrument, in ts proper place. and the professor
OF that instrument now in the city may be proficient
but we respectfully submit, that it is not exactly the
proper instrument for a solo.

TOBACCO.

There has been considerable excitement in the
tobacco market, owing to good prices abroad,
but especially to the alarm felt until recent
ly for the forth coming crop. The late rains, we
presume, have enabled planters to plant great
portion of their crops, but the drought has proba-
bly, produced scarcity of plants such as will Sc
rously affect the whole product of the year.
Our Lynchburg friends generally buy a few
hogsheads every year, at fancy prices, at which
they crow over the other markets The following
report for the week ending the 18th inst, gives
one of these sales, but shows that, in the regular
trade, Lynchburg fully maintains her high charac-
ter as tobacco market:
There is more animation in the market, and prices
gradually going up. The inspections for the week have
been 400 hhds against 500 hhds corresponding week
last year 1893 hhds sold as follows l9 hhds Lugs at
from 81 70 to S. 90; 374 hhds Leaf, viz 50 hhds at

Formulation of New Merico.

| Mr.. Dodge, of Iowa, in the course of the debate
on Mr.. Soue's amendment, made the following
| statement on this subject, which is now grown
| to be one Of practical importance:
| The Senator from South Carolina Mr. Buerl stated
Territory OF New Mexico; and he referred to the fact
that the Senator from Missouri Mr. Benton] had upon
some OCCASION mentioned that there was perhaps but
single American that had ever held an Office there
DR.. A Wlszenus, highly respectable gentleman and
the best published authority, states in his Memoir of
Tour to Northern Mexico, connected with Doniphan's
expedition in 1916 and l847 that the population Of
New Mexico at that time estimated at 7O00 souls
Ii the same proportion between the races existed in
846-, that was estimated to exist in 1888, there were
$500 Gapuchines native Spaniards) being onetwen-
which would make ID 600; ivetwentetis are Mestizes
| of all grades which would make 1880. The other
| half $4,000 Pueblo Indians. But, sir, am in
formed that there has been considerable emigration
New Mexico since it became
Mr BUTLER. ask leave to correct mistake in the
statement made by the Senator from Iowa, with refer
ence to the population Of New Mexico. find this
statement in the work of DR.. Wislizenus:
In 1885, it was calculated to amount to 50 800 and
that number TO consist of 120 Gapuchines (natlve
Spaniards,) APO Creoes $50 Meszes of all grades
and 1920 of Pueblo Indians In 1912, the population
was estimated at 81 26
Well, sir, those white people who have gone there,
have gone since the treaty with Mexico do not I'M
derake to distinguish the American white persons from
the Spanlards, whose number Isuppose small sup
pose there are about live hundred who may properly be
called Americans, who have gone there
Mr.. DoDGE. think the Senator from South Carroll
is mistaken the number of inhabitants contained
in the whole OF New Mexico, within the lower and up
per line which is proposed as part Of Texas. Dr.
Wslzenus says there are 10000 at this time This
would make the number OF Creoes, according TO his d.
VISION 10000 of Mestizes II 500 and Of Pueblo Indians
$4,000.
| Taking the larger number as the true one (al-
though the troubles, to which New Mexico has
been subjected have doubtless materially reduced
her popuation,) it seems that only one-twentieth
of the population, or $500, are white the rest being
Indians or mixed breeds. And these people, we
| are asked, by Mr. Duer and the Cabinet, to put on
the same footing with ourselves for the purpose of
evading the slavery question!

music of the Armory Band, which has afforded our
young ladies much pleasure, is unworthy of notice;
for by the expression of such sentiments he shows him
self not only ignorant OF the first principles of music
but also void OF all musical taste.
But cannot allow his structures the skill of so
accomplished and scientific musician the performer
OF the solo on Thursday night, to pass unnoced. The
the first place, by installing the "Orphecide" for the
Guitar las the latter instrument was the only one on
which solo playedD and he shows his still higher
appreciation of music, by discovering similarity be-
tween the dmequaled notes of the performer on the
Guitar the "Braying of an Ass" After so happy a
comparison the gentlemans reputation as connoisseur
in music is thoroughly established so will bid him
