LANCASTER COURTHOUSE, A,{
May IS, 1869. J
Yesterday being court-day, there was II
catherine of our citizens ut this place.
There was no court, for there is not Jus
ticr or tho ucace in our midst. The mill
tory authorities have sent down commits
s;ons tn Two gentlemen, but it seems they
hive not vet qualified, and it is nearly GER
toi,, that one of them viii not accept. !ney
came here after the war. If we are 10 nave
magistrates here they must be selected either
from the negro population or from new
comerS.'
Tn the evening all repaired to the court
bouse to attend to matters political. Colo
mel Samuel Downingwas called to the chair,
and YOUR correspondent made secretary.
The nominee for the Legislature (MaJor
John Morris, who was selected during the
Withers campaign,) withdrew his claims !;
and committee was appointed TO make a
new nomination. That committee saw ut to
defer the matter one month which was ac-
cordingly done, and the committee con-
t!nued.
During the retirement Of the committee,
Mr.. W. w. Walker, of Westmoreiand, adj
dressed the meeting, much to their ENJOY
ment. 1t will not be attempted to report
his specch. Let it suffice to say that it was
delivered with his usual ability. He thought
it best to support Mr.. G. c. Walker for Co.
vernon and also, with the thumb and index
finger tightly COMPRISING the nose, and
with head thrown back, to swallow the
thing called a CONSTRUCTION, provided the
tcst-oath, disfranchiSement, and county or
g:.nization cmetics were not commln9led
with the dose. And the people seemed to
agree.
A committee of six was then appointed
10 meet and confer with similar committees
from the other counties of this senatorial
district, at Warsaw, on Monday the itn DAY
of June next. for the purpose of making II
nomin alton for the Senate. Yours, &c,

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.


SUFFOLK, VA. May ~, 1869.
Your correspondent has recently returned
from a short trip TO the Valley Of Virginia
and TO the counties of Powhatan and Cum
berland. The wheat i'll all these sections Is
looking exceedingly fine, and promises Il
most abundant harvest. The fruit, while
damaged considerably by the late heavy
frosts, is not so much injured as was at first
feared. In the counties of Augusta, Cum
berland, and Powhatan, the farmers expect
a fair yield of apples and peaches.
In every place we made diligent inquiry
concerning the prospects Of the Walker
ticket, and everywhere found the ConSerra-
tiyes unanimous in its support. The eX-
purgated constitution does not meet with
SO much favor, as, besides the tcSt-oath and
DISTINGUISHING clauses, there arc many other
dead flies which cause this precious pot of
ointment to emit very bad odor. This,
however, might be expected Of mixture
compounded by such apothccaries us Baync,
Underwood, ct id Omne genus. One OF the
most Ubiquitous features Of this most iniqui-
tous instrument is that which gives nearly
the whole of the Methodist Church pro.
perry within the Virginia bounds of the
Baltimore Conference to the Northern Me-
thodist Church. This of itself will, OF
ought to, mass all Christian voters against
the miserable abortion called the Nirgini;
constitution.
Northern men continue to settle in the
vicinity Of Suffolk; and so far rs we know
none have yet been assassinatcd or other
wise maltreated. Our lands are fertile, con
venient to market, and admirably adapted
In every way to trucking purposes. On
citizens greet with Il hearty welcome al
emigrants from the North or elsewhere wh
come to attend to their own business alone
The steamer which it is expected will soo'
make daily trips between this town am
Norfolk will greatly increase the facilitie
for carrying on the trucking business. lie
buyers acquaint themselves with our genia
climate, productive soil, and hOspitablc citi
zens, before purchasing elsewhere.
