% Before another issue Of this paper the
Convention will have nominated the candidate
Of the Democratic and Conservative party for
Congress from this District. Whoever he may
b, he will find it necessary, at tho very thresh-
bold of the canvass. to answer this question !:
Do you or do you not want the colored vote
There is no possible evasion oft. This coun.
ty, on Tuesday last, recommended Mr.. Stone,
for denomination, who has already answered
the question and WIG briefly, before the Con-
vention, gave his; reasons. By this action we
presume the majority of the Democratic par
~ Of this county assented and agreed with
him. that we do want the colored vote. Now
it seems to us that there are two courses, one
of which the Congressional Convention should
take. It should either nominate gentleman
whose views on this subject are known, or.
express, by resolution, it's own views. If the
Convention does neither, It leaves the question
70 doubt, and doubt, in this case. means to
decline the colored vote. We hope its action
may be marked by wisdom and discretion.

Mr.. Editor II will be thankful if you will
increase my obligations to you personally by
adding this one more favor to your many other
kindnesses by giving publicity to my adieu to
all my friends in Charles county. Dear old
Charles, can never forget thy kindness to me,
stranger. Three years last January came a
pilgrim without a4ohtary acquaintance. Ny
perhaps thousands Among them all have
known only kindness and affection-uniform,
steady and uninterrupted to the day of my de-
parture. This, not only among my own Par
ishioners, but throughout my entire acquain-
lance of every name and every order of this
christian community To my Methodist and
Roman Catholic friends my obligations are very
great, not only for kind feeling, but liberal do
nations. As regards my own people, their

anticipated. Not only have they given the
salary stipulated-they have gone far beyond
any stipulation OF promise. l think it is not

Mr.. Editor, this may not be the usual chan

WASHING SHEEP.-The New England
Farmer copies the report we published
some weeks since, of the discussion on
washing wool, by the Westminster Farm
ers' Club, and appends the following
comments:
6" In this discussion several members
spoke of the injurious effects Of wash
ing, on the health of sheep but no one
alluded to its effects on the health of
those who perform the operation. To
our own mind this is by far the most inn
portant consideration. We believe that
more colds, fevers, consumptions, rheum-
atisms, &C., result from this than from
any other exposure to which farmers are
subjected, Notwithstanding the free use of
the bottle of grog which, in our day, was
always provided for the occasion. We
do hope that the annual ducking of men
and sheep in the cold water of our noun
tain streams in the spring of the year
will not be continued much longer. We
believe that the wool can be cleansed at
the mills much more advantageously."

Terrible Accident Al Richm ond, Va

81 PERSONS KILLED AND 100 WOUNDED.
A terrible and fatal accident occurred
at Richmond, Va, an Wednesday fore
noon at about IL o'clock. A decision
was expected on the mayor question
which has been pending in that place for
some weeks, and great crowd assembled
in the upper part of the capitol building
when the floor gave way precipitating
the dense mass to the floor below, which
was that of the House of Delegates, and
where were assembled some of the dele
gates, some of whom were killed. The
total number of killed is reported at 81,
among whom were several prominent,
public citizens, members of the city and
state government.
More than one hundred persons were
wounded, among them ex.Gov. Wells
who had several ribs broken and was
otherwise internally injured. For pc
Rod of three hours the scene was full of
horror. Minute after minute there APP
peared, swinging out by arope tied around
the middle, the body of some favorite,
who, after being placed on the shoulders
of the fire brigade, mangled and dead,
was brought down the ladder and placed
on the green of the public park, where
it was instantly surrounded by two or
three thousand of those who had gather
ed to recognize the dead. The Park was
filled with weeping women and anxious
men until two o'clock, when the last vic
tim was drawn from the building.

A TRUE Fish SToRY.-One Tuesday
morning in the early spring of 1870,
there might have been seen highly
painted and costly vehicle numbering
slowly through the street, alleys, and
lanes of Chester. The driver and only
occupant was a man who had seen sum-
mers enough to make him know his bus
mess. The shrill blast of fish horn re-
verberated the quiet streets the respira-
tory organs that blew that blast, never
perverted the truth. Fish, Oysters and
HOLSTERS were thus announced-Landon
had arrived. The joyful crowd pressed
around him, and he told them this i'm
pressive story: That on every Tuesday
