Ma EnIroR-From what We can learn. al.
though We have not been horc great while.
the gentleman whose name heads this brief
notice is decidedly the most prominent among
those spoken Of as the nominee for the House
OF Delegates, 10y the Democratic Convention.
which assemblies June 10th. Tho Doctor is of
an old and respected family Of this part Of
Virginia, a man of known industry aud cuer.
gy' past the middle period Of life. vet has never
asked for public promotion. He has used his
pen anu given his time to- the advancement of
true Democratic principles since hi. return to
his native county in 1857
Though his life has been DO, otel to the poor
and afflicted, yet we have no doubt Chat his
qualities Of head and heart are safe guaranty
that in him we would have an honest. eapsblc
and worthy member. IL he wants the Office.
We think i, but small reward for the da, 1.
aud nights he has spent in riding over this
aud parts Of Wayne county.
We have no personal acquain ,ance with the
other gentlemen who arc prominently be
fore the public for the nomination. yet he will
compare crcditably with any Of them In every
respect; aud We hope IL will be the pleasure
and rule OF the Convention to select our County
candidates from those who are already spoken
Of, and who have spcnt some time in the can
vas. However. We doubt not that the selec.
ti"ns will be suitable and proper.

The Laura D. Fair Case.

The acquittal of Mrs. Fair for the killing of Crlttenden, has caused much comment in the papers of the day relative to the theory of insanity. The Sacramento Record covers the ground well in the following remarks:
 No man can conscientiously affirm, con ceding the soundness of the theory, that any murderer is not insane at the instant of com hitting the murder, and therefore, no man can conscentiously vote for the conviction of any murderer This is not a cheerful condi- ton of things for the general public, inas- much as murder remains the same, and pro duces the same dreadful results, whatever the mental condition of the perpetrator. The broad consequence is that murder ceases to be punishable as a crime, and whether that result is likely to subserve the interests of society, our readers are capable of deciding for themselves.

Camp Bowie Correspondence.

CAMP BOWIE, A. T. October 10, 1872. To he Editor of the hrizona Miner:
 Your correspondent has interviewed Capt J. A. Sladcn, J. F. May, who have just arrl- ved from Cachise's camp in the DraSoon Mountains, where General Howard has been holding a peace meeting for the past ten days
 Tb. Dragoon Mountains are reported to De the most natural fortress in the Territory. Cachisc's band numbers about 200 at present, and more are daily arriving at his camp.
 Captain Sladen reports everything m refer ence to peace measures as gong on admirably with the great Chief and his tribe, who, it i: said. are very anxious to come to terms.
 Cachise says: "I am getting old and now I want peace.' The proposed Council will soon be commenced, as all the warriors have come in. \ reservation will be set apart al an early day, for Cachise and his band. The exact locality has not been made public, but the suppositiop is, that it will be established somewhere in New Mexico.
 Last Monday, news reached us concerning the killing of four soldiers and Mexican neal Camp Crittenden, by Apaches, on Oct. 4th
 The active operations on the part of the military against the savages m the upper portion of the Territory, IS hailed with delight in this part of the country, and it is the earnest wish that the good work thus begun, may be carried into the South ern portion of the Territory, where exists fine field for operations against the murder ous demons A few more victories like that in the Northern part of the Territory will end hostilities.

Mileage tor the Extra Session.

In 1858, when Governor WISE convened
the Legislature in extra session Immediately
upon its adjournment, he took occasion to
insert in his proclamation the following para
graph:
"And the members Of the two Houses of
the General Assembly are here now present
at the metropolis, and there will be no need
of increasing the expense Of mileage i'll cali
ing them together again at the present time,
as In case of waiting until future time after
they shall have returned to their homes"
The General Assembly itself, by resolu-
ton, declared that members were not entitled
to mileage for reassembling in extra session
on that occasion.
We doubt not that there were members Of
the present General Assembly who believed
that they would be entitled to mileage If re-
assembled by the proclamation Of the Cover
nor, and we furthermore think the vote upon
propositions to extend the session might
have been different had the gentlemen who
labered under this impression entertained
different opinion.
But the General Assembly itself settled
this question yesterday by the passage Of a
resolution declaring that no member shall be
entitled to mileage for the extra session, and
further declaring that no member shall be
entitled to per diem when not In actual at
tendance upon the Legislature. See proceed.

Tho Free Bridge.

r,o local reporters are giving good nc
,o,r,s of the progress Of the free bridge
uniting Richmond and Manchester. IL VIII
be completed the present year and open nc"
way for public accommodation. ;,
What will the bridge cost9 The financial
debater of the Enquirer recently put tdown
at $4,000 for Richmond-i. e., sl6o,ooo III
all. We observe that in the Mayors mes
sage Richmond's part is estimated at sloo'ooo'
We have the authority of the bridge colnihi..
tee for saying that the entire cost VIII no.
exceed $4,000, of which Richmonas lai'
is 1000. Who is right? We THINK tne
bridge committee should be considered tne
"best authority" in the premises.
II mist he remembered, further, that
Richmond is authorized to assess tolls upon
the citizens of Chesterfield unless that county
pavs one-fourth of the cost OF the bi1oge'
It is said that she will pay this onc-iourtn'
or 10000, to secure free passage across tlie
river for her citizens. If she does, that VIII
reduce Richmond's subscription to sou, ooo-
a sum greatly below $780, 900 or even SSo,ooo'
And we hope this will be the result.
But take the higher estimates, If you VIII
the city of Richmond is no less bound IL
thew be correct than if the sum were lcsS'
And the higher her subscription the more
glaring will appear the great error OF the
corporation in building free bridge and
then rejecting annexation lin building a
free bridge for the citizens to escape to the
south side, and refusing to so extend the city
boundary as to include them still amongst
the city taxpayers.

The Radicals.

The Radicals Of the Legislature have acted
very inconsistency. Last year they were all
for the funding act, and this winter they
have as unanimously banded for the repeal Of
the funding act. Last year they were
staunch defenders Of the public credit-this
year they have been the assailants of the
public credit. They have never lost an op-
rsortuuity TO veX legislation and obstruct the
passage of indispensable measures. With
few Conservatives they forced the call OF
the extra session.
But who should be surprised at inconsis-
tency amongst the poor negroes? They
know not what they do. They are led by q
little body Of white men, very few of whom
care anything about Virginia. Their great
object is to humiliate and degrade her, and
through negro votes to get into the offices OF
the State; and once in them, who could tell
but that we should have a repetition of the
corruptions and robberies pricticed by the
rarty in the Carolnas and other southern
States? Assuredly they would drag down
the State to condition of poverty and mise
~ such rs we have never dreamed OF.
But what do they care for Virginia Few
of them ever think of her except as to how
they may rob her and plumber her public
treasury. The party is nearly all black, and
they pay very little in the way Of taxes to-
wards supporting the State Government.
The most important and influential of the
leaders are those who are collecting Federal
taxes from our people, now almost ground
into the dust. If those taxes arc not paid,
we shall see how they will be forced out of
us. These leaders will tell us all about our
solemn obligations to the Federal Govern
ment, and they teach their deluded negro
followers that Virginia taxes are onerous and
ought not to be paid-that Virginih is no.
thing-that her credit is not worth maintain
ing, and that it is right to repudiate not only
her debt but her authority, too.
This party, SO hurtful to the general wei
fare, SO bent on schemes for the degradation
of Virginia, would not be deserving pass
ing notice, save for the power they have, In
certain contingencies, over the public bust
ness. But in view of their bad influence,
under the favor of discord amongst the true
representatives Of the State, it is matter OF
patriotism and solemn public obligation for
those true representatives never to inculate
themselves by doing any act which may bt
turned to advantage by this destructive party
in their schemes for embarrassing the State
and creating prejudice against the party
which is her only hope in her hour Of trial.
