Messrs Editors Having seen a card in you
paper, over the signature of Long Glade ant

is no combination, compact, agreement or con
tract of any kind, between myself and any 9th

Election of Judge.

Mr.. Fnltz, in his circular to 'Many Farmers, !"
has distinctly arraigned Judge Thompson before
the people of the Circuit for want of industry
and efficiency in the duties of his Office, and has
made show of appealing to the records to sus-
tain the charge.
l have now before me document No. LII. of
the present General Assembly, entitled Sab
stract from the Reports of Clerks of the Court
of Appeals, District and Circuit Courts, Relative
to Suits in their Respective Courts" The re-
ports are for the year ending August 80, 1859.
From this official document propose to fur
nish few facts bearing upon the charge made
by Mr.. Fultz-facts which am bound to pre-
sumo he would have made known to "Many
Farmers" if he had been aware of them at the
time he prepared his circular.
l. This document shoes that in the gear end
ing august 80, 1859, Judge Thompson decided
more cases and disposed Of more business, coil
and criminal at la0 and IN chancery, than any
other Judge IN Virginia.
The business done by him in his Circuit was
as follows, viz
Actions at law, 1876
prosecutions, ..........................5 SO
DEGREES in chancery, lnterlocutory, .........5 sos

mount of business done in the 81 Circuits as fol
lows:

Total, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. .lVol
8. The same document shows that but one
Judge in Vrginia-Judge Coleman-disposed
of as many actions at law as Judge Thompson
the numbers being:
Coleman, .sOO
and that in chaucery cases Judge Thompson
stands at the head of the list in the number O.
his DEGREES, both lnterlocutory and final
4. The same document shows that in addition
to these labors of Judge Thompson in bis Circui
and his regular duties in the District Courts, b
was engaged 66 days in attendance upon thu
Special Court of Appeals at Richmond, and that
counting all OF has services an the gear, he aoa
longer IN Court than ang other Circuit sjudg
In Virginia.
5. This document completely explodes tn
idea held out to "Many Farmers" "that tn
dockets are increasing" upon Judge Thompson
and that unless Mr.. Fultz is elected 'sthe wheel
of Justice must cease to roll on"
