the Conservatives, and to all who desire to pre-
vent the government Of Virginia from being
turned over to the control Of the Radical lead
ers, to 60 to the polls, to morrow, and to vote

further the Interests, to increase the prosperity,
and to protect the rights Of Virginia. Surely,

strenuous efforts. No man should be dcrcIict

duty as it should be ting pride and pleasure Of
all, to join in this effort to accomplish so great
a good Be, then, early at the polls. Vote
your full strength

the programme at the State Fair, was grand
pIougfng match in which the strong armed
sons of the soil tore with merclcss share deep
burrows in the bosom of generous and fostering
old Virginia. They showed themselves as ex.
pert in guiding the ploughshare as they had
already proved themselves ready in the use Of
the sword. and all who behcld the contest felt
that peace. indeed, hath her victories no less
renowned than war" There were several pre-
miums awarded. And it afford ; US pleasure to
especially mention that Major \. Drewry, took
the prize for the best tour-horsc team: They
were very beautiful horses, and we'll deserved
the praises bestowed upon them on all sides.
The pIoughllg. Oh the whole, was well done,
and would have satisfied even the demands OF
Horace Greeley himself. Such contests AS
these are of real practical value, and that Of
yesterday will do more for the advancement Of
our industrial interest than all the creased
poles that could be climbed from now to

The RpIiefFUnd i'm Chicago.

\ dispatch from Chicago, dated on Saturday
says-Astounling revelations were made thi:
morning Of the operations of Alderman {. {.
p. Holden in the use of the relief funds. A.
Holden is President Of the City Council and a
candidate for Mayor, additional piqucncy is
given the matter. Immediately after the fire,
Relief Society was formed, Of which Holden
was made the Treasurer.
The composition of this society not being
satisfactory to the committees from Cincinnati,
Louisville, indianapolis, St. Louis. and other
cities here, Mayor Mason dissolved it, and ii
rectcd that everything should be turned over to
the old Relief Society, an institution under the
control of citizens Of integrity and regularly IN
corpOratcd. This WAS satisfactory to the COM
mittceS from other cities. but was not to some
of the Aldermen, and they refused to recognize
the new Arrangement. This unpcasantncss was
mentioned at the time.
1t now transpircs that Holden, while acting
as Treasurer, secured at least $4,000 Of the re-
lief, and considerable supplies which he re-
fused to give up when requlstlOn was made by
the proper authorities 1t is now alleged that
this money is being used by Holden to secure
his election as Mayor. Very damaging evidence
is produced to substantiatc the charge Among
other things that Holden caused to be sent to
the regular committee, is Il livery stable bill
amounting to $40. Payment has been refused
and the committee gives notice that no carr-
ages have been needed in the work of relief
70 what purpose the bcnevoence of the coun-
try might have been put may now be seen from
this specimen The public may rest assured
that the work of relief is now in good hands
and this man Holden will be held to strict
accountability.
