Republican Meeting.
Me Editor of Me state Jonrnal.. !.

TO he Edttor Or the jStdte journal:
The Republican party Of this legislative
district, composed Of the counties Of Eliza
beth City and Warwick, assembled in con-
vention at Newport News on the 10th of
October, 1871. The object of the conven-
ton being to nominate candidate for the
Legislature. The convention met at u
O'Clock. William Robinson was chosen
chairman and R. b. Wood secretary.
On motion of Ii. Libby, committee of
five on credentials was appointed, who,
after examination, reported that all the
delegates from the different townships were
present.
On motion Of Mr.. Cary Hopson, Samuel
e. b. Payne was put in nomination and,
finally, declared the choice of the conven-
ton.
Mr.. Payne came forward and accepted
the nomination in few appropriate re-
marks. Mr.. William L. Crockett also adj
dressed the convention, urging them to
stand together in support of the nominal
ton. The remarks of both gentlemen
were vociferously cheered.
ROBERT b. WOOD,
Secretary.

Hon. GILES A. SMITH has resigned
his position as Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General, ON account of ill health, and
Hon. John A. Routt, of Illinois, has been
appointed TO fill the vacancy. Mr.. Routt
was formerly chief clerk of General Smiths
division, and more recently United States
Marshal for the southern district of Illinois.
The leading Georgia papers, the Angus
ia Consti mionalists and the Atlanta Con-
stiiation, advocate the course suggested by
Wade Hampton, that the South send no
delegates to the next National Democratic
Convention.
1t is officially announced by the officers
of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway
company, that the entire loss of that com
pany by the recent fire will not exceed five
hundred thousand dollars, and that all the
shops, engines, passenger cars at the depot,
and everything on that side was saved.
Business will be resumed soon.
Among the passengers by the steamer
"Cuba," which arrived at New York from
Liverpool yesterday, was Hon. W. NJ.

Hon. JAMES II. PLATT, of Virginia,
arrived here yesterday, and is stopping at
the Metropolitan. lie says the canvass in
that State is progressing with much earnest
ness and ardor; that the Democrats are
respondent and disorganized, and the Re-
publicans harmonious. Great dissatsfac-
ton with the acts of the last Legislature
exists among the people. The ''Funding
Bill' was such an outrageous swindle, that
even strict Democrats are disgusted with
their party, and will vote the Republican
ticket this fall. This bill required taxes to
be paid in September, under heavy penalty
for failure, and now the State Treasurer re-
ports officially that there are 81 800, 600 in
the treasury which will not be needed until
next December and March. This money is
loaned to the banks at four per cent, and
Taxpayers who have crippled themselves
in paying their taxes under the bill, are
now borrowing their own money from
these banks at twelve per cent. Virginia
farmers are rapidly becoming radically Re-

GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.-We have
no objections to Detectives Wren and
Knox gaining all the eclat, or having credit
for their services as officers of the law,
when they perform their duties but we do
protest against injustice in whatever form it
may come.
Several of the papers are reporting that
negroes attempted to carry off and rob
the ticket wagon Of Robinson's circus, and
that Detectives Knox and Wren had ar
rested several of them.
No robbery ,cas committed and there
fore it is gratuitous to suppose any robbery
was contemplated; besides there were
others engaged besides "negroes " in the
mischeiyous prank, for with our own eyes
we saw white man, over six feet high,
pushing at one of the wheels, with all his
strength. The fact is that nothing more or
less was intended than mere mischief and
fun, and if anything so serious as the rob-
bing of the large amount of money then in
the wagon, had been contemplated, we
would have heard something beyond the
mere arrest of the parties.
1t seems to be delightful to charge the
negroes" with everything wrong that
goes on, and yet they are asked to be Dem
ocrats. Pooh!

BARBECUE AT MANCHEsTER.--Th
Democrats of Manchester, gave barbecue
to their friends on yesterday, which is said
to have been a grand affair. Chesterfield
Democrats have high appreciation of the
potency of such modes of electioneering,
We heard of barbecue recently given
in that county by Democrats, who kindly
invited all the colored people present TO
participate, and to eat, drink and be merry !;
but, with this condition: that before either
tasting or smelling, each man should sign
paper pledging himself to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket this fall.
We are informed number of colored
men signed the precious document, and
then filled themselves. We have a little
spare change left which we are willing to
bet that out of the large number who
signed that paper not single one will vote
the Democratic ticket, unless, perhaps, A be
Hall or some of bis associates were present.
We always except Abe and his party when
we bet, as nothing would induce us to VEN
ture even a bad penny on him. A darkey
has no objections to being fed and treated,
but the Democrat who puts his money on
his vote had better invest in prize candy
box-you bet.

given them by its business men.
The disposition evident among all who
spoke was that all the money necessary for
present exigencies can be raised in Rich

THE HENRICo TICKET.-A difficulty
having originated in the senatorial ticket,
so far as the selection of Henrico was con-
eerned, a joint conference was held between
the City Central and the County Commit
tees, day before yesterday, which resulted
in slight change of the ticket. 1t trans
feired Major Annable from the House of
Delegates to the senatorial ticket and Mr..
Woodwoith from the latter. This leaves
the county ticket at present for the Senate,
Major Samuel i. Annable; for the House,
G. Q. Vincent and John Woodwork.
We cannot say what the effect of boiling
convention of the party will be, but we
have never yet known any good to result
from it. If wrongs are committed they
should be corrected before and during the
holding Of the convention, and not after
wards.
We make the change at the head of our
columns to conform to the wishes of the
conference.
