The Three Travellers.
By JOHN G. SAKE.
Three travellers once on time,
An ancient story goes)
Together reached country inn.
And sought nights repose.
One was judge of merry mien,
Altho' his locks were gray,
The second was parson grave,
The third, Captain gay,
"Alack p the civil host replied,
"You're welcome to my fare;
But, on my word, the Golden Swan
Has but one bed to spare"
SIN such a case it were but just"
The weary travellers said,
''The landlord should himself decide
Which one should have the bed.''
"Well, be it so," mine host replied,
."To me it's all the same
Now, gentlemen, pray proceed
Let each assert his claim
The Captain was the first to speak,
And by his sword he swore
That he had lain in garrison
A dozen years o. more.
His honor then put in his claim,
''For twice as long as that
I've worn the ermine of Judge,
And on the bench have sat-"
The Parson said III serve the church,
In this my claim appears
That in the sacred ministry
Pve stood for thirty years."
1.-THE case is settled,' said mine host,
"The parsons right is best;
To LIE or slT-'tis very clear,
Affords deal of rest;
"But one who, like this worthy man."
The laughing landlord said,
ssHas stood God help him y thirty years
May fairly claim the bed p

The Convention.

EDITOR NEws:-This body, which
adjourned on Friday the 23d of Aug,
was one of the fullest and best attend
ed assemblages of the kind ever as
sembled in this District. Every cOun-
~ was represented, and some of them
ia fsH. OF the six candidates whose
names were brought before the con-
vention, only four had any strength
worth while. Col. Dunn, who, l be-
iieve was one of the last, if not the
last, TO announce himself, received a
very fiattering vote; but after his
name was withdrawn the real contest
was narrowed down 10 n contest be-
tween General Terry, the late MEM
Der; aud either General Walker or
General Bowen. General Terry hay
ing the support Of less than 4 third of
the convention, il became only a ques-
ton whether General Bowen or Cen
eral Walker should be our next rep
resentative in Congress. General Wal
ker himself and many OF his warm
est trends supported General Terry
two years ago, and many of the friends
of General Bowen did so likewise
General Terry in imitation of GCRcrl
Grant. was willing To serve a second
term, bnt our convention, in imitation
of the Cincinnati and Baltimore con-
ventions, chose 10 adopt the lone term
principle" The convention also adopt
ed q "hasis' of representation that
was just and fair 10 all the counties,
in preference To the "basis" feed by
the State Committee, which is unjust

and unfair, but this unfair basis WIS
sustained 10y the speaking friends"
OF General Terry, and came near being
adopted. The delegates from Lee.
sScott. Tazewell. Bland, &C., haying
made hard fight for the ''rigbt,1 fl
nally prevailed. and the result Justified
their artion.
To show the unfairness of the "ha-
sis" advocated by General Terry's
friends. for illustration, take the com
ties Of Scott and Wythe. Scott in 1869
cast $40 votes for Walker and 535 for
Wells, whilst Wythe cast 1879 for Wal
ker and 81 for Wells On the walk
er vote basis Wythe would have cast
1879 votes in convention and Scott on
ly $50. whilst on the basis adopted 10y
the convention Scott cast 903 votes and
Wythe only 992, which shows that G..
&. Walker received over 300 radical
xotes-in Wythe. The population Of
Scott is 1903. while that of Wythe
is only GIL, and some of the Scott
delegates estimated the conservative
vote of Scott, nOir. Mt over 1000. The
Republican vote" of Scott and Wythe
in 1860 being nearly the same whilst
the same rOtc in Wythe is NOR, no
doubt much larger than the same vote
in Scott. makes the Walker vote ha-
sis" still worse NOR for Scott. Yet the
Wythe delegation contcndcd for the
Walker vote basis" and only yield
eel wien out-votcd. Scott should
stick pin there" 1t is conceded
that honesty is the best policy" in
business affairs, and it would seem
that fairness in politics is likewise
1.-THE best policy" as those who have
'grasped at air. in Virginia, may learn
at no distant day.

ALL HAIL!
West Virginia,

West Virginia has adopted the
Constitution by a handsome vote and
it is even claimed that Camden is
elected. Jacobs carried the entire
radical vote and a large wing Of the
democratic party. In the start the
democratic party divided between
Jacob and Camden, and it will be a
wonder if Camden is not beaten. The
Constitution was the issue and the in
terror counties saved it. The Border
Wotchman rendered splendid service
and may very properly feel proud of
its bearing in the conflict. The rad
icals will take down their chickens
and hand in their checks.
