nothing OF the Ku-klux or their outrages; and
their testimony Is cited by the World as con-
elusive. By such logic it were easy TO prove
that Napoleon l never lived and that Munchau-
sen never lied, just as 1t was proved that no
Missourians ever voted in Kansas. But no one
is misled by such testimony, save those who are
not allowed to see any other.

Politics in Rockingham.

On last Monday, the apparent conflict of
authority, we noticed last week, in the Con-
sentative organization Of Rockingham was
reconciIed by the recognition of DR.. S. A
Cofman as County Superintendent, and call
ing him to preside over meeting held in the
Court House. for the purpose Of perfecting
the organization. The proceedings of the
meeting. however, were not harmonious =
W. Fl. Efinger, Esq maintained the propri
ETY. and even necessity of county nominal
ing Convention, and Capt. W. S. Lurty OPP
posed it, Both speakers addressed the meet
ing in support Of their respective views, with
spirit and force They were pretty well
matched, and the discussion was animated
and lively. They both speak we'll. The
townships were not fully represented by the
regularly appointed party officials, and when
he vote was taken. (Which was after VIC left J
we understand that not more than six Of the
township officers voted on the proposition of
convention or no commemorative in favor,
and one against the convention.
Col G. Z. O'Ferrall, who is a candidate
for the Legislature, withdrew from the meet
ing, stating that he could have nothing to do
with an asseEblage which so meagrely repre-
scnted the popula: vote of the county.
We learn that motion was made by Mr..
Liggett, (who had refused to act as one of the
township Superntendents, and did not con
slider himself properly a member of the meet
ing, but consented to serve after general
expression of the wish on the part Of the
meeting that he should do 500 to the effect
that the Conservative voters of the county
meet in Harrisonburg on the Bird Monday in
October, Court day to determine the ques-
ton of making nominations.
From the information We gathered, by a
free conversation with persons from various
PORTIONS of the county, we concluded that
the people generally are opposed to conven
tion and regard with indignant repugnance
the military plan adopted by the late State
Convention. With the details of that, they
will have nothing to do That is the sent-
ment we believe, of the people of the entire
Valley. Indeed there has been no recogn-
ton any where west of the Blue Ridge, that
we have noticed, of the tens and 'ffties' and
their Chiefs The people themselves have
taken the matter in hand, and have held
| their conventions and made their nominations
as if no such unwicldy, impractcable and
nonsenscal plan had been adopted What
they want is to defeat The Radical party. and
they have no sympathy with any political con
scriotion law, calculated to divide the party
because of its proscriptive tendency. Po'it-
cal manipulators might as we'll learn now as
later, that the people are determined to
have voice in the November election.

of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad have
made arrangements with the Allen line OF

to Charlottesville, staunton, and as far west
as the White Sulphur Springs. When the
Chesapeake & Ohio road is completed, there
will doubtless be a large migration to Virgin
