Party Conventions Advocated.

When two or more members of the party
appear aS candidates, by their own announces
ments, or BY the nomination of friends, party
organization, as well As proper respect for
each candidate, requires that the respective
claims of all should be submitted to the deci-
sion of a nominating Convention. No part
of Mr.. Goodies letter recommends itself more
strikingly to public appreciation, than does
his depreciation of system Of free fights
among the Democracy. In all such free
fights" where there is no candidate of the
Opposition party in the field, discussions ut
the Hastings become degraded, and the ex-
ample which they afford is calculated To
create Il continuous future depreciation of
public taste and public morals When pub
lie men stand before the people to discuss
contested and important points of political
principle. or of national policy, the influence
is salutary, and the example cminenty benc.
fetal. Indeed, it furnishes the very best
mode of popular instruction for Il republican
people. THIS facility for popular instruc'
ton, is the only Legitimate object of the
"Stump"--a noble purpo>r-a due regard 10
of Virginia better acquainted, perhaps, than
any other community on earth, with theprin,
piles and the working of governmental in,

the people of Virginia have been cduca ted
by the oral instruction afforded by political
contests such as Patrick Henry and John
Randolph engaged in, and Of which our own
generation has offered examples scarcely
less illustrious and equally useful and EN-,
nobling.
But when two men, protesting the same
political principles, appear on the llusting,

Necessity of ORGANIZATION.

We desire to Impress upon our Wing and
American friends the necessity Of an imme-
diate and thorough organization Of their
forces in every county. ncighborhood, city,
town and village in the State. It's fact q
thousand times demonstrated, that no party,
no matter how favorable the circumstances,
can be certain of commanding success in any
contest, unless there be perfect discipline and
concert Of action among it, mcmbers-not in
one locality onl y-but in all. Several times
have the Wings of Virginia had it in their
powpr TO give an overwhelming defeat "a
their political adI.rsaries, if unity of effort
had equally characterized their party in all
portions Of the Commonwealth. We have
seen, on several noted occasions. the Wing
party admirably organized. active and watch
full in majority of the counties, while in the
remaining ones. all was apathy and inert
ness If these latter had only initiated the
example of the former. thus rendering per
feet the organization Of the party throughout
the length and breadth of the State We should
inevitably haze carried the day. and won Il
glorious victory over our Democratic Oppo-
ncnts Such was the case in 1910. in 1913.
and again III 1851. We should certainly
have signally triumphed on each Of these oc-
casions, if the same energy and Zeal had been
displayed in few of the counties which
were so conspicuous in the great bulk Of
them.-RrhmOm lI'hig.

sengers. who. with himself, were saved from
the wreck as if by miracle, for none of
them could tell how, that in addition to the
loss Of his family, he had lost all his money,
it having been tied up i'll belt for security
and buckled around his wife's waist Dur
ing tho day the waters subsidized and the pas
sengers who remained i'll the neighborhOod
of tho wreck, commenced search for the
dead bodies The body of the lady alluded
to was found about Il mile below the wreck,
and upon examination ii was aSccrtaincd
that her dress had been torn open and the
money belt robbed of lis contents, some seven
hundred dollars. Fresh tracks We're discov-

RErRENcuMENT.-It is very evident that
the increasing pecuniary wants of the Gov
eminent, and the large expenditures pro-
posed, are beginning to excite just apprehen-
sion. When the Naval Appropriation bill
was up in the House of Representatives, on
Tuesday, Mr.. Bocock said it was universally
admitted that the present expenses of the
government were too great and that some
plan must be adopted TO reduce them. Our
present system of bringing forward the APP
preparation bills was wrong. The Commit
tee of Ways and Means should be confined
smpiy to the duty of devising and reporting
means for raising revenue for the support of
Government lie showed that the practice
of the British government was entirely diff
fcrent, and contended that we should change
our system. and commence by referring this
bill to the Naval Committee. which had pro,
perlv charge of the subject.
