HUMOROUS.

ALd prayer meeting recenfIy netd
not far from New Haven, an earnest
brother, whose. zeal surpassed his in
telligence, offered this petition: 20
Lord, have mercy upon US poor mis-
cradle sinners. of which / am the
chiefest among ten thousand. and the
one altogether lovely"
EDITORIAL NEcEssITIEs.-A well
known editor of New Jersey, about
to start for Long Branch, requested
his wife to put In his satchel what
articles were necessary for an absence
of two or three days. He lodged at
Freehold, and in the morning he
opened the satchel to take out some
clean linen, when he found it to con-
tain only a bottle of whisky and a
bundle of old newspapers That ed
itor's wife evidently understood his
travelling necessities" =
AccURAoY.--Among the good things
in the Drawer of Harper's Magazine
for August, we find the following:
In matters purely legal, reckoning
and guessing are seldom of much ac-i
count, especially were papers are to
be served and copies must be letter
perfect. Our legal readers will APP
preciate the painstaking accuracy dis
played by a depury sheriff in Shelby
County, Indiana, who was called upon
to serve a summons 'by copy" and
who saw the necessity of having every
word spelled correctly and in its pro-
| per place. Turning to the indorse-
ment on the back he discovered that
the imprint was different from that of
the original, the latter having been
printed at Indianapolis, while the
former was done at Shelbyyille.
Carefully erasing the name of the
home printer he made it read instead
Printed by w. & j. Braden, In
dianapolis." This, in his judgment,
met the strict legal requirements of
the case, and he " went, and saw. and
served it. No exceptions taken.

The Elections for the Convention.

The Elections for the Convention.
We give below the order of General
ScHorIELD relative to the appointment OF
assistants to the registering officers for the
purpose Of conducting the elections for
members of the Convention. This is an
excellent order:
"HRApauARTRRs FIRST MILI1aR y, DrsTnioT'l
"R1cHxoSp. VA september II. 1867.
"Circuldr No.9.
81. The president Of the board Of regis.
tration in each county or city will at once
select from the registered voters Of each
district or ward In which less than Ave
hundred voters are registered, three in
telligent and trustworthy persons to assist
the registering officer in their respective
districts and wards, at the election to be
held on the ed proximo, for delegates to
the State Convention. AS it will be re-
quired that the ballots of the white and
colored voters be taken separately, six
persons, instead Of three, will be appointed
in districts or wards where there are more
than FIVE hundred voters: three to receive
the ballots Of the white voters, and three
to receive the ballots of the colored voters.
Every person appointed as above shall,
before entering upon his duties, take the
following oath, to be administered by a
registering officer:
"'I do solemnly swear that, in the cleo
ton about to be held, will faithfully and
impartially discharge the duties assigned
me according to law and the orders 60
verning this election. So help me God
"2. One registering officer will be re-
quired to conduct the election in each dis
trict or ward, and in all cases where va
cancies have occurred, or may occur
among the registering officers prior to the
election, the president Of the board of re-
gistration in each county will fill the va
cancy by the assignment of registering
officer at large in the county to duty in
the district or ward where the vacancy ex-
lists. In case there is no registering officer
at large in the county who can be assigned
to this duty, the president of the board OF
registration will forward to these head
quarters the name of a proper person
living in the county where the vacancy
exists, in order that such person may be
appointed registering officer and in case
no person qualified to act as registering
officer can be found in the county, state
ment of the fact will be made to these
headquarters, and measures will be taken
to fill the vacancy.
60. The persons appointed to assist the
registering officer will receive for their
services the same compensation now given
to registering officers of magisterial dis
trict. These persons should be perfectly
competent to perform the clerical duty
which will be required at the polls.
81. The names Of the persons SO ap-
pointed will be promptly reported to these
headquarters, and also publicly announced
in the districts or wards for which they
are appointed.

Conven ton.
lot Chesterfield and Powhatan arc en-
,;,Icd to three delegates: Is one to be
elected from each county, and the third at
large by both
No. All three delegates may be elected
from one county. The election district
embraces both counties; and county lines
are of no more Importance in a district
than are the lines Of the magisterial dis
tricts in county.
ID. Can delegate be selected from one
place to represent another!
No. Such is the custom in England in
