- Ia tie Grand I1y:-The condition of the
Washington and Alexandria Turnpike, has,
ever since its purchase by the Railroad Com
pany, been in shamefuIly bad order, and it
is believed that since that time, now several
years, the expenditure for keeping it in order
has scarcely averaged a dollar per week.
1t was hoped, after the recent sale Of this
road, that, having changed owners, and, as
it was believed, put in better hands, some
attention would be paid to keeping it in 4
decent condition. This hope has proved fall
lacious, as the writer knows by experience,
within the last week, and il is now high time
that the public interest should be looked
after by the proper public authorities.
Understanding that your respectable body
is the proper one to address upon public
grievances, of this kind especially, it is hoped
you will appoint a committee to examine the
condition of this road, and if the public must
continue to pay the exorbitant tolls charged
on it-as allowed by their charter--that we
who are compelled to use it, shall have in
return at least a comfortable road to ride
over. ONE WHO USES IL.

The WHEAT CRoP.-The most unfavorable

The WHEAT CRoP.-The most unfavorable
reports with regard to the growing wheat
begin to reach us from various quarters OF
of the state. The Fredericksburg Herald
saws: "rhose who are familiar with the SUBJ
iect, report that the Wheat from Fredericks-
burg to the mouth of the Rappahannock Ri
ver,-embracing the large and fertile Valley
Of the Rappahannock, nearl y one hundred
miles in lenSth--is less promising than for
many years past. On Mr.. Lacy's estate, in
Stafford the Joint Worm has already COM
menced its ravages \ gentleman informs
us that in the counties Of Richmond and
Westmoreland, the Joint Worm is also
proving destructive. In some places, says
our informant, fields appear as though every
other stalk was cut down. \ letter from
Middlesex county says: The Joint Worm
has made its appearance in our wheat; some
of it is entirely ruined. a gentleman from
the same county, who lives lower down says
the Fly is worse in his wheat that the JOINT
Worm. In Spotsylvania, we also hear sad
accounts. and from the county OF King
George, as we'll as from Orange, they are OF
kindred character" The Fredericksburg
Recorder says:-The corn is in bad condi-
ton. A friend in Stafford informs US that
the worm has destroyed much of the low
grounds corn, and many farmers, at this late
season. are replantng. An alarming dis
ease in the Wheat has been discovered in
Hanover 1t will probably cut short the
crop at least third. In many sections OF
Virginia, the crops have been damaged by
the heavy rains

The CHICAGO Cow ENTIoS, after the nom
nations, as published in last Saturday Ca
:ette, adjourned amidst shouting, firing OF
cannon, &c, &c How the nominations will
take with the Republican party, generally,
md especially in New York, We cannot pre-
tend to say. Stewards friends must be very
much disappointed. Il is probable, however,
that they will unite upon Lincoln and Ham
lin, as a split in their ranks, would blow the
whole concern up Immediately. tits quite
evident, too, that "a more formidable opposition
10 Seward existed in his own party than We
had supposed-for all the opponents focked
to Lincoln readily to secure Stewards defeat
-Cameron's friends, it is said, leading the
way. Mr.. Lincoln was born ii Hardin
county, Kentucky, February l. 1909; adop-
ted the profession of the law; was 4 captain
of volunteers In the Black Hawk war; ut one
time postmaster of Il small village; four
times elected TO the Illinois Legislature, and
81 representative in Congress, from Illinois,
from 1917 to 1919. Two years ago he was
the republican candidate for United States
Senator, in opposition to Mr., Douglas. Both
gentlemen stumped the State, and their dis
cussions excited much attention throughout
the country. The contest resulted finally
in the return of democratic Legislature, and
the reelection Of Mr. Douglas to the United
States Senate. Since that time Mr.. Lincoln
has been Il travelling stump orator in behalf
OF republicanism, having within few
months past delivered several political lee
lures in various cities and towns at the
North. He is Il speaker of considerable abb
lty. Hon Hannibal IIamlin, the nominee
COR the EiceP Presidency, is at prescnta Seq
ltor OF the United States from Maine. He
was originally elected to that body by the
democrats, but few years ago went over
10 the republican party on the slavery issue
IN the territories. He was subsequently re-
elected to the Senate by the republicans
Neither Of the candidates are much known,
or have any national reputation. Neither
of them, in our opinion, apart from their
sectional position and their odious political
doctrines, have the ability, experience, or
fitness for the Offices to which they aspire, to
cntitle them TO support; and upon neither ot
them could We rely, in any emergency
They are, neither Of them, in oar opinion,
friends of the Constitution, or friends of the
Union, or advocates for the enforcement OF
the Laws. We ardently hope for their de-
feat, as well as for the downfall Of their pollt.
