We, as most every body else, are in
receipt Of batch of small posters, from
Harrisonbusg, calling a county and Sen
atorial District convention to be held on
the 21st inst, for the purpose of making
nominations of suitable persons to repre-
sent the County and District in the next
Legislature. The circular also recon-
mends the holding of convention, at
the same time and place, for the pur-
pose of nominating a candidate for
Congress.
AS we have before stated, we are deci-
oedly in favor of conventions in general,
when the people to be represented can
have sufficient time to receive proper
notice and an opportunity to be present to
represent themselves but on the contrary,
we are decidedly opposed to taking snap
judgement upon any part of the district,
by defering the idea Of a convention unit il
it is impossible for some counties to make
the necessary arrangements to have legit-
innate representation in such conventions.
Such is the case with this and other coun-
ties, as no opportunity will be given the
people to assemble to appoint delegates
before that time. In the case of Rock
ingham it will suit very well, as the time
appointed for holding the convention is on
the first day of the June term of the court,
and will certainly be well calculated to
give the whole affair a decided air of
Rockingham manipulation. We would
suggest however to the good people of
that county, that in consideration of the
vast number of aspirants for Office that
they do hold a county and District con-
vention in order to secure some harmony
at home, but. we will be under the I'M
pleasant necessity of declining to partici-
pate in a congressional hob-nobbing, as
our sister counties, as well as ourselves,
Nill not be able to make cur necessary
arrangements.

Imnortant Dacision.

The following decision, bearing both OIL
the value of Confederate currency as mon
ey and the action of the courts during the
war in ordering its payment 10 liquidation
of Indebtedness incurred before 1861, will
be read with interest by MANY:
In Chancery (Serenth Circuit) Before G.
IL BranhIU, Circuit Judgc Clark ct al.
u.s. Ctark's Executors ct al: In May 1856
the circuit court of the city Of Richmon
by decree directed its commissioner to loan
certain moneys in court belonging to the
estate in controversy in this suit; such
loan to be secured by bond and trust deed
on real estate in Richmond, and payable
in sixty days after the same should be
called for by decree of court. Pursuant
to that decree. S. 1000 were loaned to r..
c.. Stanard
On the Goth of June. 1868, one Mae
farland having become the purchaser of
the property covered by the trust deed
given by Stanford to secure the payment
Of the $4,000 SO loaned, obtained from
the said circuit court, on motion, but with
out notice to the parties interested in the
fund, deer authorizing him to pay in
to the Farmers Bank of Virginia, to the
credit Of the cause, the said sum of S.
600, and interest in satisfaction Of the
bond and trust decd of said Stanard. and
directing that on such payment being
made, the said bond should be givin up
and the deed released
Soon afterwards the said sum OF 1000
and interest was paid into said bank by
mcfarland, in Confederate money, and
the bond was delivered up to him. but she
trust deed hasenyver been released or can
celled.
The court held that the decree of Goth
of June, 1868, was improperly obtained
and fraud upon the parties interested il
the fund; that the payment in Confeder
ate money, then worth but one dollar Il
nine, VIXEN no one representing the court
or he parties interested in the fund was
present to object to such payment, was
not even a compliance with the terms of
that decree, and was null and void AnC
the court directed decree TO be entered
ordering sale of the property covered by
said trust deed, unless the legal reprcsen-
tative Of r. c. Stanard, or some one for
him, should, within sixty days, pay intC
court the said sum Of $4,000, and the
interest thereon from the 29th of May

highly cultivated fields, school houses and
a college, and now they talk of congress

A clock which has just been complei

A clock which has just been completed
for the Cathedral of Beauyais contains 80,
900 wheels, and indicates, among many
other things, the day of the week, month,
the year, the signs of the zodiac, the
equation of h.me the course of the planets,
the phases Of the moon, and the time at
every capital in the world, the movable
feasts for one hundred years, the saints
days, &c. Perhaps the most curious part
of the mechanism is that which gives the
additional day in leap year, and which.
consequently is called into action only
once in four years. The clock is wound
up every eight days. The mein dial is
twelve feet in diameter, and the total cost
exceeds $40, OCT.

Speaking of the number Of crimes,
co ;nmitted or reported, at the North and
at the South, the National Intelligencer
remarks that if statistical comparison
were made--if that were possible-it
would be found that the former exceeded
the latter by many foil. Not day pass
es but the leading Northern newspapers
are called upon to chronicle numerous,
and sometimes long array of the most
dastardly and revolving crimes, which, if
occurring in Southern society, would put
that entire section under martial law, Or
some other sort Of severe and arbitrary
rule.

The agitation in Paris last Friday night
continued until after midnight. Troops
occupied Montmartrc and vicinity. Cav
arly paraded through the streets all night
Shortly after midnight the crowd broke
through the line of police, and formed a
barricade, but were dispersed and pursued
in all directions by the troops Many
windows were broken and other damages
done to property in that quarter Of the
city. The cavalry charged on the crowds
in the streets several times and many
citizens were wounded, but no one killed.
The police have been very active, and it
is reported they have made nearly 900
arrests since midnight. Further dis
turbances are apprehended and extraor-
dinar precautions have been taken by
the government to prevent them. The
Pa.rie and other Paris journals give re-
turns showing the election of 1870 official
and 90 opposition candidates. The ed
itors Of the Reveilie have been arrested
on charge of conspiracy.
Gen. Cluserel has been expelled from
France. Great crowds Of people still con-
tiuue in the streets in Montmartrie, and

passed through the streets again this
evening in an open carriage, with only the
usual number of attendants.

Railroad Accident Near Annapolis
Junction.

WASHINGTON, June TO- There are
startling rumors, this morning, concern
ing railroad accident few hundred
yards north of Annapolis Junction, last
night, about twenty minutes to ten O'clock.
and the alleged death of one if not more
persons; but, on inquiry, it is asceftained
the facts are as follows: The locomotive
ran against COW, and before the train
passed, the COW was thrown down, with
her legs under the wheels of the baggage
car The latter and the two front pas
sengcr cars were thrown from the track
These cars were overturned and shattered,
and the passengers therein were promis-
cously brought together. Much excite
ment naturally prevailed Measures were
Immediately taken to extricate the passen-
gers from their perilous situation The
cars, when they left Washington, were in
the following order: After the two first
passenger cars were the chair car, the
sleeping cars and the Presidents cars. In
the last named were the President, his
wife and two children Mr.. Craner broth
er-in-law Of the President, and his wife,
and Secretary Boutwell,. No one was in
jurcd on the cars in the rear of the first
passenge cars, but en- these ten or twelve
persons were cut and bruised, several of
them severely. So far as known none
were fatally injured Four passengers
who received bruises returned this MORN
ing to Washington. Several of the 9TH
ers remained in the vicinity of the acci-
dent, and others proceeded northward. AS
soon as information of the disaster reached
Washington, relief despatched to the
scene, and, after delay of FIVE hours,
other cars were substituted for these dam
aged, and the train reached Baltimore in
time to connect with the early morning
Northern train from that city.
SECOND DESPATCH.
The above account is based on infor
nation received here by the railroad au-
thorities, but passengers who have return
ed to this city represent the accident as
far more appalling and serious. One of
them says that at least twenty were inju-
red. One from Georgia had his face bat
tered completely out Of shape, and was
picked up senselesS, welterlng IN gore
1t is not probable he will recover. Not
only were the two front passenger cars
completely destroyed, but those immedi-
ately in the rear Of them were damaged.
These cars were thrown violently togeth
er. The passengers in the after cars were
startled by the screams of the wounded
One man had his leg broken. Special
ears were despatched to Baltimore and
Washington for the relief of the sufferers
The surgeons sewed up the heads of a
number Of persons, and set the limbs re-
curing such services, besides rendering
other necessary professional Offices. There
is now no obstruction to travel.
