To the Conservative Superintendent

The "Pian of organization Of the Conserva-
tive party of Virginia. provides that each city
and county, by popular meeting or through the
medium of existing organizations, will appoint
city or county committee, to consist OF two
or more representatives from each township or
ward within its limits, and the committee thus
appointed will elect superintendent, who shall
BE- chairman Of the committee, and, with its
advice, call meetings of the party and direct
all matters Of registration and organization, &c
This notification Of the mode in which super
intendents are appointed is Intended as an an.
swer to the numerous applications made to the
State Committee to fill vacancies by making
such appointments. In cases of emergency the
Committee has exercised this power, but where
none exists the Plan should be pursued, not
only because the appointments arc more likely
to be discreety made by those better acquaint
cd than the Committee can be with those from
whom the superintendens are to be selected

county, thus speaks of the English Mulberry:
As a market fruit it probably will never
hold high rank, when there arc so many 9TH
