Tomorrow is Election Day. The argument
will close to.night-the last exhortations to duty
will ring in our cars. That argument, we trust,
will not fall unheaded, and those exhortations
not fail Of their proper effect. What has hap,
pencd, or will happen, about results in other
States, is not what We are now to look at. What
most concerns us is the election at home-ir
Virginia. We have good hopes of favorable
issue 10 the contest, generally. Let that suffice
as to probabilities. The certainttes IN the ole
Commonwealth are within the reach of our rea
sonabe exertions. But the vote of every man
in favor of the election of Greeley, and in favor
of a Reform in the administration of the gov
ernmcnt, is now needed. And that vote should
be given heartily and cheerily. Go, yourselves
to the polls, and urge all your friends and neigh
bors to 60 also, and deposit ballot for the gooc
ofthe country.

stead u full turf. out at the polls tomorrow.
Even the Stral ghtouts were convinced by the
logic Of the speakers that it was their duty to
vote and vote for Horace Greeley. There was
large and attentive audience and everybody
expressed themselves well pleased with the
result. MARTIN.

Reports from all parts Of the country would
seem to couirm the view that in most cases
the horse distcmpcr has period of nine or ten
days: that its type is mild and that it speedily
disappears under good treatment and care, cs-
pccially if the horses are laid up during sick
ness The milder form Of the disease in pri-
vatc stables is attributed in good part to the
perfect rest enjoyed by the horses.

The returns from the last election in West
Virginia show that Wilson in the First, Martin
in the Second, and Hereford in the Third Dis
trict, are elected to Congress by large MAORI
ties. They are all Democrats. In the Second
District Boteler ran far behind Martin. A very
light vote was polled, most people believing
the first election of Congressman Valid but the
question is to be settled by Congress.

Of the c,,uhtr,

By comparison Of the vote Of Pennsylvania
this year with that of 1868, it appears that
1903 Democrats failed to 60 to the polls.
If they had done their duty in this respect,
Hartrantt would have been defeated. We call
the attention Of Democrats and Conservatives
in our own State, who want to see Radicallsm
put down, but regard it as thing Of little con-
sequence whether they vote or not, to the
above fact,

Capt VIM. H. Chapman has withdrawn
from the canvass and is no longer candidate
for the Cerkship of Fauquier county. This
leaves the contest between T. n. Fletcher,
Conservative, and Geo. A. Walter, straight-out
Radical. The issue is not considered at all
doubtful, and Mr.. Fletcher, whose capacity is
acknowledged and whose character is above re-
proach, will doubtless be elected by large
majority.

Let it be the business of every Conservative

upon r. W. Tompkins, colored man, at table
in Freund's restaurant. In his decision, the
Judge declares that under the recent act of the

though he has fitted up saloon mainly for
ladies, is obliged to allow colored men, without
reference to condition or character, to sit at his
table and be waited upon by white girls, where
they are employed as mattresses.

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-We have been in
formed that the second day of the present term
Of the Circuit Court Of Mathews county, now in
session was occupied by an able and elaborate
discussion Of the conStitutionality Of the Act of
Assembly Of March, ISL (which is Identical
with the Act Of lS72l imposing a tax on oys-
tiers. The Grand Jury, some months ago, pre-
sentcd a number of owners Of small boats and
canoes engaged in the business Of taking and
selling oysters, who had refused to pay the tax
prescribed to the Inspector. The parties, at
the calling Of their causes in the County Court,
domurred to the indictment on the ground that
the law. was in conflict with the Federal and
State Constitutions. After very protracted
discussion, Judge Kemp o"crruled the demur-
red, and decided that the law was constitution
al. One Of the parties. was subsequently put
upon trial, found guilty, and fined. He APP
pealed to the Circuit Court. and the other caus-
es we're continued to await the decision ofIudge
.Jcffrcs. At this term the case was fully argu-
ed and resulted in the decision Of Judge Kemp
being fully sustained by Judge Jctfres, and the
law pronounced constitutional. = tlo"ccstcr
