HORTICULTURAL AND POM0LoG1CAL so
cInTY.-1'his Society has entered into an
arrangement with the State Agricultural
Society by which the two Societies shall
hold their annual exhibitions this fall to-
ge:hcr, the Horticultural aud Pomological
Society assuming entire control and direc-
ton of those branches Of the joint exhibl-
ton. AS by this arrangement the hortl-
cultural premium list will be offered by the
Horticultural and Pomological Society, our
citizens are requested to show by their libc-
raj subscriptions their appreciation both Of
the object and Of the energetic determlna-
ton Of the executive committees Of both the
Agricultural and Horticultural Societies to
give an exhibition worthy OF the palmlest
DAYS of the Old Dominion.
The canvasgers on the part Of the Horh-
cultural Society will call upon our citizens
in the course Of few days for their mem
bership fees and subscriptions md while
many will doubtless gladly avail themselves
Of the opportunity to become life members,
none, we hope, will fail to subscribe as
annual members, and thus enable the
Society to offer such premium list as Will
insure an attractive and useful exhibition.
We hare often urged the Importance on the
part OF our people of giving their earnest
attention to the fruit and vegetable lntc-
rest, and it is essential to the dissemination
of reliable information that this Society be
heartily sustained.

Last evening, in accordance with announce
ment, the g Friend and Hero" delivered
himself Of lecture on important politl-
cal subjects" !" at New Nation Hall. He had
an audience Of respectable size-mostly
composed Of members of the colored fra
ternity-and his remarks were well re-
ceived. He harped with his wonted bitter
ness upon the bad treatment ne had
received OF the hands of the csrpet-bag-
gera, and warned the colored people against
them. lie didn't believe in their sincerity
towards that race, and he hoped they would
not allow themselves to be deceived. They
must see whether or not these men were In
favor Of granting every privilege to the
black man equal with themselves. They
must ask Governor Wells, Mayor Chahoon,
Mr.. Dudley, or any one else among them,
if they favored mixed schools, the right of
the colored man to hold Office, and then get
their answers in black and white, so ,as
there could be no going back on it after
wards. They must allow themselves no
longer to be governed by the trickery of one
or two demagogues. For an instance,
said he, "at your ward meeting, JACK
makes q nomination Bill seconds it--all
by the instigation of the wire-workers,
mind you and Bob calls for the vote; and
it is taken before you know what you are
doing. They make tools Of Jack, Bill, and
Bob, and fools of you" "Dat's de way
dey works it.")
In conclusion, he announced that he
would run for Congress from this district,
and asked who would support him in the
coming hour Of his first struggle. The au-
dience arose unanimously, and after they
had gotten through, an inquisitiye colored
friend asked of "the Friend and Hero -:
You say you gwine run for Congress; sup
pos'n de Convention don't say so?"
j. 1t was explained to him that the Conven-
ton was State affair, and that the district
nominations for Congress had nothing to dc
with it. '9 @5-7. ..-sa &
Eyes, but den you done nominate your
self for Congress, and Isuppose you gTine
run erregardless Of de Republican party OF
not? (Cries of "-Dry up dar. He's off de
question. Shet him up.'') At length order
was restored, and the meeting went Oh
quietly in the same spirit manifested
against what Lewis Lindsey would cal
/" Bob-tail white man.

LIGHTS AND SHADows.-Colonel Farra1
delivered his new lecture, on Lights and
Shadows" in the hall Of the House Of De,
legates on Thursday evening to large and
highly-appreciative audience. In his new
theme the Colonel has almost excelled him
self. The lecture abounds, as the others
with good humor and rich anecdotes inter
spersed with fine veins of pathos and high
sentiment. And withal the lecture is more
ornate and more highly finished than any
Of those previously delivered by Colonel
Farrar. It vas we'll received and duly ap'
preciated on Thursday night. Tonight he
will repeat it at St. Adams Hall, under
Masonic auspices. He will doubtless have
g splendid audience. See advertisement.
