VIRGINIA CONSERVATIVE CoNvEN-
TT0N

RICHMOND, April 29.-Thc Conserva-
tive Convention assembled this morning,
and tho. minority report was Withdrawn
to make way for resolution to adjourn
until ten days after President Grants pro-
clamation fora State election. This res
olution was defeated by amajority of two
thirds. The majority report was then
adopted with few dissenting voices. Tho
debate pointed Enthusiastically to Walker
Conservative Republican, as the person
to be supported by the Conservatives for
Governor.
The spirit of the debate in the Convcn-
ton this morning by those who favored
the minority report, urging the people to
vote down the constitution, was that while
negro suffrage might be forced on the
peopleby the government, yet Virginians
should not themselves assist in the deg
radiation. Those who favored the major
ity report urged that that sort of argu-
mcnt was thing of tho past, negro suf-
fragc was an accomplished fact, and the
white people of the State, instead of sui
lcnly resisting the general government,
which is our government, should carry
out reconstruction in good faith by ac-
ccpting what the government gives us,
and making the best of it. TWAS urged
that the election of Gilbert G. Walker,
northern Republican and administra-
ton supporter for Governor, would give
the people of the North confidence in our
professions, and induce immigration to
the State. The minority report was aid
vocatcd by Ex-Governor VIM. Smith,
and the majority report by Jno. j, Bald
win and Jno. r. Edmunds.

The COUHfy Far.

y correspondent of the STIR gives some
hints about our county fair in a late
number of that paper, which he requests
us to copy. We do so, though we think
there is much less cause for the criticisms
than some imagine. We do not believe
that any of the committees need ..in-
>tructing" that "the best animals are to
have the premiums" As regards the
trotting, there will be cheating Just as
long as there are horse trots:
| would like to say Il word in regard
to our Annual Fair. | feel interested in
the success of the Institution, and have
enjoyed many an hour ON the 1t. johns

the Managers that it might be well to
instruct the committees that the best an
finals are to have the premiums, regard
less OF the owners standing in society,
or whether he has exhibited stock on
these grounds one year or ten. ''Fair
play Is :, Jewell" let it hit where it may.
Horse trottlnr has been an interesting
feature of the Fairs but am sorry TO
say, 1t has been conducted rather reck-
'essly, especially the county trots. Uors-
Is have been allowed to run, to cross The
track in front of those out-footing them.
and in many other ways to interfere with
the speed Of those trotting honesty, and
that too on the home stretch. in the face
and eyes OF every one. Drivers are apt
to take all the advantage that they can
get, and in allowing them to take this
course they endanger life and property,
and make it mean business, giving an
honest driver no show TO get his Just dues.
1t is common for majority of the driv-
ers to link together to beat some particu-
lar one, and use all the means III their
power to do SO. l think in such cases,
they should be drawn to the strictest rule

No Such Thing as BU"gldr Proof
Locks.

The treasury authorities at Washing
ton are having great scare over the IN
security of the locks adopted by the gov-
eminent for its own use and prescribed
for banks which keep its funds 1t is
the Dodd lock, and locksmith of Roch-
ester. n. Y, has just proved to the ofli-
cials that he can pick any of them in an
hour or two, and he says the process is
well known to n number of artisans.
After seeing this gentlcman's opera
lions in the treasury building, on Satur-
day, it is said those present ceased TO
wonder at the late skillful bank robLcr-
les reported in New Jersey and New
York, and came to the conclusion that
locks of a new and better pattern ought
to be adopted by the government. Just at
present, however, the government is los
ing more money through frauds on the
revenue, by the connivancc CT dishonest
officials, than in any other way. \ spe-
cial supervisor has just returned from
Ohio and reports frauds not before
cqualed i'll the history OF the revenue de
partment, i'll the first, second and third
districts Of that state; and more than
that, he deeply duplicates Cen. Thoma,
l.. Young, the local supervisor. No one
will be particularly surprised to lelrn of
these great frauds in the districts where
those great regulators, Pendleton and
reside; but it is a wonder
that the government has not paid special
to that quarter before.

a." An Englishman named Bowen.
over 90 years of age, confesses that he
caused the terrible disaster on the Erie
railroad, at Cars Rock, last April. He
says that he removed the chair and raised
one end of the rail 50 that the train
would strike and break it. He had been
i'll the employment of the company. but
had been discharged for misconduct, and
his object is supposed to have been re-
venge. The New York Tribune sur-
gests that Bowen may have made the
confession for the sake of notorietv. The
Tribune says:
"The accident on the, Erie road was
caused by the breakin" of rail, and
there never has been any evidence that
the breaking was not entirely fortuitous.
Bowen's story that he fixed the rail to
break ny taking it out OF the chair and
putting spike under it, is therefore I'M
supported by any outside testimony. Ii
is quite within the limits of possibility
that he may have concocted this confess
sion out of a wild desire for notorietv or
the workings of a diseased conscience
tormented by other crimes. or finally out
Of one of those morbid, indelinable I'M
pulses which, as we well know, some
times drive men to perfectly inexplicable
actions. 1t is hardly more difficult to
suppose that he has confessed crime of
which he is not guilty, than that he Is
guilty OF useless and unpro> oked deed
whose horrors are almost unparalleled.

The True History of LOi'd ara La
6y Byron.

Mrs. Stoves article in the September
Atlantic, giving Lady Byron's account of
her marriage and separation from her
husband, never before Ey.adc public, is
the literary sensation CE q. hour. Mrs.
Stowe met Lady Byron -, Iueutly, when
abroad, and correspondsj. with her for
many years She was &s5ply impressed
with her. declaring that
Lady Bryon, though slight and almost
intantine in he's bodily presence, had the
soul, not only of an angelic woman, but
of a strong. reasoning man. 1t was the
writer's lot to know her at Il period when
she formed the personal acquaintance OF
many OF the very first minds of England;
but among all with whom this expert
cnce brought her in connection, there
was none who impressed her 50 strongly
us Lady Byron. There was an almost
supernatural power of moral divination,
grasp of the very highest and most
comprehensive things, that made her
lighicst opinions singularly impressive
Lady Byron made Mrs. Stowe her
contiante, and the latter evidently be
lieves implicitly that what she told her
is true. She tells the sad story, with
| full! details. in the Atlantic, but the main
point is thus summarized and commented
on in the Evening Post -
Lord Byron was married on the sec
ond of January, 1915, and on the fl
teenth day of January, lSlG, five weeks
after the birth OF their daughter Ada.
Lady Byron left his house i'll London and
never saw him again. According to her
statement, it was at Lord Byron's own
command that the separation took place,
she implicitly obeying him, deeming him
mad which belief in his madness had
been inspired by the discovery that lie
WAS carrying on an inceStuous intercourse
with his own sister. This is the fearful
mystery which is to explain her appar-
cnt GOODNESS and her unbroken silence
toward the man she had loved so dearly,
and whose tender farewell in imperiSha-
| bic verse had drawn tears from the sym
pathizing maidens OF England and Amer
lea. \ child was born, Mrs. Stowe as
serts, of the horrible crime, which for
tunately died young, and soon atterwarI
the sister passed away, yielding up her
last breath in Lady Byrun's arms.
Such are the statements embodied in
Mrs. Stoves apoL2yal for Lady Byron :;
and it may be at least doubted whether.

which they have been set forth, tLcy
