SANDS SENTENCED.-Yest John
son ii. Sands, convicted of felonious COM
plicity in the Haunstein forgery, was
brought into the Hastings Court, when he
was asked the usual question, whether he
had anything to say why sentence should
not be pronounced on him. He replied
that he would have much to say, but his
counsel had advised him to remain silent.
Judge Guigon thereupon passed sentence
on him, that he be confined in the State
pcnitentiary two years.
Colonel John B. Young, one of his coun-
sci, asked for an order, suspending the SEN
tence until the 18th Of November, so that
his case could be taken to the Court OF
Appeals. The request was granted, and
Sands taken to the city Jail, to await the
action of said tribunal.

THE CONVENTION.

The Convention that adjourned this
morning, was marked by degree of har-
mony and dignity in its deliberations which,
was cheering to the friends Of thet
cause. With rare. exceptions spirit of libe-
ralty and concession prevailed among the
delegates. The action of the Convention in
nearly every important particular was well
considered, impartial, and calculated to
strengthen the Republican cause in the
State.
The platform and resolutions bring the
party up to present duties, and define
sharply and distinctly, the living issues Of
the canvass. Upon these issues it takes
high ground, and may safely appeal for the
united and enthusiastic support of all its
members. The people of Virginia have
now TO choose between party, whose
leaders are in the hands of wealthy and
corrupt ring of New York stock brokers,
seeking to enforce their Shylock demands
upon destitute people, and party which
stands for the preservation of the people
first, before it attempts to preserve the
empty name of State credit.
Between party which assaults the free
schools as the cause of the heavy taxes,
while it takes from the people over a mill
lion of dollars in excess of its own admit
ted need for current purposes, and loans it,
at four per cent, to wealthy bankers, who,
in turn, loan it out to the needy at II to Is
per cent; and party which confines the
taxation to the current expenses of a gov
ernment economically administered. The
people are to choose between party whose
representatives in Congress voted to shut
up Virginia mines and cripple its industries,
and one which declares for protection to
American labor and the doctrines of Henry
Clay. s.
They are to choose between frank,
bold, outspoken policy, and the cowardly
silence which shirks every living issue, be-
cause its real purposes are too bad to bear
the light, and would be secuted with indig-
nation if proclaimed to the people.
With such platform, we can go before
the people strong in the faith of the justice
of our cause, and in the certainty of its
eventual triumph

Z PACKED WARD AIEETINGs-It is patent
shat the Conservative ward meetings on
Monday night were most cunningly packed,
and packed IN the interests of "a ring. p
In Monroe ward the ring was formed early
outside the regular Conservative organiza-
ton, with the president, secretary, etc. and
was run in the interest of Tom Wvnne.
Richard +. Walker, (who was clerk to
Freedmen's court after the evacuation, ETC.. J
and James r. Fisher, clerk to the penten-
tiary board and secretary to the Conserya-
tive committee, for both of which Offices he
gets paid comfortable living. Every
thing was nicely cut and dried by this
trio, assisted by Mr.. Knowles, of
the gas-works, and the ticket forced
through by them and their "tooters" as
previously arranged.
sisted by that sprig OF modern chivalry
Moses ?. Handy of the Dispatch, seem to
have ruled the roast.
In Jefferson Ward, a ring was formed
several weeks ago, holding its secret meet
mgs at the Old Market. Its President was
Detective Jim Tyler, assisted by Detectives
Knox, Dan Wren, Jack Wren, and Mr..
Bill Peasley, chief of the chain-gang, com
monty known as the gentleman who holds
two offices.
This ring, initiating Messrs. Wynne,
Walker, Fisher, 4 Co., of Monroe ward
had their ticket all cut and dried, written
out and prepared, and packed the meeting
in that ward. 1t was a job worthy of de.
tectiyes, and was neatly done. The othel
wards were too small for the ring to ma
ninulate; they expended their strength OF
the larger wards. And these were tn,
men who nominated the Conserva
tive Legislative ticket: Tom Wynne
Dick Walker, Jim Tyler, Bill Peasely 6
Co. These are your governors, citizens Q
Richmond; the men who dictate to yo
who shall represent you in the Legislature
When Richard f. Walker becomes a leade
of the Conservative party, and helper t
make tickets, that party had better loo
out.

letter to Solon johnson, the colored DEM

MANCHESTER TEACHERS INSTITUTE

We regret that complete occupation of
our time, prevented our attendance upon
the Teachers Institute, which has just
closed in Manchester.
We learn that Major Jed Hotchkiss, the
efficient and devoted friend of popular cdu-

and rendered valuable service to the cause.
Such Institutes are invaluable aids to pre-
pare teachers for their work, and elevate
the standard of professional requirements.

Cooked VS.. Raw Food.

EXPERIMENTS made by NJ M. Baspail
and Blot, of the French Academy of
Sciences, seem to have resulted in estab-
fishing the following points:
l. That the globules constituting meal,
flour and starch, whether contained in
grain or roots, are incapable of affording
nourishment as animal food until they are
broken.
2. That no mechanical method of break
ing or grinding is more than partially
efficient.
8. That the most efficient means of
breaking the globules is by heat, by fer
mentatioA, or by the chemical agency of
acids or alkalies.
4. That the dextrine, which is the ker-
mel, as it were, of each globule, is alone
soluble, and therefore alone nutritive.
5. That the shells of the globules, when
reduced to fragments by mechanism or
heat, are not nutritive.
6. That though the fragments of these
shells are not nutritive, they are indispen-
sable to digestion, either from their dis
tending the stomach, or from other
causes not understood; it having been
found by experiment that concentrated
nourishment, such as sugar or essence of
beef, cannot long sustain life without some
mixture of coarser or less nutritious food.
z. That the economical preparation of
all food, containing globules or fecula, con-
sists in perfectly breaking the shells and
rendering the dextrine contained in them
soluble and digestible, while the fragments
of the shells are at the same time rem
dered more bulky, so as the more readily
to fill the stomach

Pertaining to Plaster.

AT late meeting of the New York
farmers Club, w. NJ. Tomlinson, of
North Urbana, n. =, asked the savants to
reconcile the difference of opinion which
prevails as to the proper way of sowing
plaster with grain crops, some choosing to
drill 1t in with the seed, while Others pre-
fer to scatter on the surface, after the seed
is sown. at is claimed that by putting it
in with the seed it helps the crop from the
outset, giving a start which keeps it ahead
of surface plastered crops. On the other
hand, it is argued that, as the principal
gain in the use of plaster is derived from
the atmosphere, surface application best
secures this, and hence it is to be pre-
ferred. What says practical science? !?
Would the answer vary with different
soilsg'
Mr.. Curtis-as plaster is an absorbent
of ammonia, it is better to SOW it on the
crop and let the rains following wash it
down to the roots. This is gain to the
plant, for if first put into the ground it will
absorb the ammonia in the soil which is
already there or it must wait for exposure
to the surface to do its full duty, which
exposure might not take place until the
next crop. Plaster does but little good on
wet ground, and its benefis vary consider
ably one season with another. Sometime
its effects are almost marvellous, and then
again they cannot be seen. On dry loan
or gravelly soil sown on clover, it often
doubles the CROP In Glenville, N. Y,
lands rejected fifty years ago as worthless,
now are, by using clover and plaster,
worth one hundred and one hundred and
fifty dollars per acre. Sow plaster on the
manure heap and in the hen house.

future husband; so, of course, when after
about two golden hours, spent in each
others society, he requested the honor OF
her hand, what could she say but yes;
for was it not her fate as told by the
stars by q wonderful astrologer? OF
course she said yes.
Then, in perfectly cool and collected
manner, acquired ON the Continent, Mr..
Carleton took Miss Barton in to supper,
and Joined in the festivity just as if nothing
had happened cut of the common. He
was quite satisfied for his part. Maggie
Barton was the prettiest girl in the room,
an orphan with three hundred pounds a.
year in her own right, and the ward of Mr.
Frances, the husband of the squire's Sc
cond daughter She-Miss Barton-was
the sort of girl fast young men call "a stun
ner" She was pretty dancer, could sing
songs of the "Barny o. 'Hea" school in a
ringing soprano voice, and play all the
walizes of the season. Could sit square in
her saddle, handle gun, or hit the bulls
eye three times out of four at an archery
meeting.
In fact, believe, with all his careless.
ness, she was hardly the sort of girl Jack
Carleton would have chosen for wife
had he waited to form an opinion; but he
acted upon impulse; and, strange to say,
he never had occasion to repent, for Mag
gle was the sweetest and tenderest oi
wives. But her secret was her secret for
ever,
