10 Erllit-CTrOWerS

The ouarter-centennial celebration of the
American Pathological Society will be held
in Boston on the 10th of September. We
trust that our truit-growers will cause Eir-
ginia to be we'll represented there. 1t would
be q great advantage to the State that an
ample display Of the excellent fruit that is
grown upon her lands should he spread
upon the tables of the Society. 1t would do
much to bring before the nation the excel
lence OF her climate and soil for the produc-
ton Of fIuit.
Virginia can take many premiums, we are
certain, if she is fairly represented Dir.
LEIGHTON, an officer OF the Society, thought
Virginia lust year took the lead in apples,
and in his appeal TO the States to send on
specimens of their fruits he expresses the
hope that Tidewater Virginia will berepre.
"sented with the pear and other fruits, and
"the gentlemen OF the apple districts in the
"interior ought not to allow the State to fall
ssbelow the position to which she is enli-
"tIed.o
Colonel GRoSgR, Of Norfolk, agent of the
Boston line OF boats, offers to send free oi
charge 70 Boston all fruits intended for ex.
bibition Mt the Soeiety's fair on the 10th.
& Exhibitors can easily send their shipments

oaicial stamps for Party Uses.

We have statement from q correspondent
that the official stamps for official business
made under the law. abolishing the franking
privilege are being used to distribute kaa''
cal documents over the State of virginia
This is, of course, dishonest act OF some
person-some misunderstanding posses
sion of those stamps. This use OF them IS
more dishonest than the abuse OF the frank
ing privilege. As our correspondent sug'
eests, It as much more dishonest than the
improper use of the franking privilege a.
would be the stealing of d three-cenf STAMP
compared with the stealing of MIR. PLATT
signature.
1t seems impossible for the Government
to keep its hands out of an election 10 Sf
ginia. But we hope that the direction o.
public attention to this breach of official PR
yilere. this theft of the official stamps, may
be the means of putting a stop to it.

Southern Lands-Why so Low?

Before the war the Abolitionists and
northern people generally said thnt the low
price of southern lands was CAUSED by
slavery. Well, we now have treemeu. and
our lands are not worth one.third rs much
as they were during the existence of slavery
What do they say now? Indeed, SOME OF
the richest southern lands that fell into the
necro's bands, and that have never been re.
turned to their real owners,-the "Sea
islands," for instanre--have been so poorly
titled that they are grown into bush. And
what do our censors say?
In our opinion, it is all tue time the Alri-
en- that depresses the value Of lands Does
any man suppose that had there been white
laborers i'll the South iAsRF of African
slaves the land would have continued so
cheap as it did during slavery: If we may
suppose the existence of Willie labor instead
of black, would not the price of land have
been higher: The presence of white labor
ers would have made labor respectable, and
the land would have been full of white
laborelS. and well and closely titled small
farms would have been common. This
would have raised the price Of land. Indeed,
the laborer would have been buyer OF land.
The negro is no more a buyer of land now
than he was when a slave and his presence
being rcpulsivc TO white labor. he repels the
purchasers of that land lie has no lncllna'
ticn to own and no means to purchase.
Look at England. There exists sort OF
slavery; but it is white, aud the annual
rental of the land there exceeds the fee
simple value of all the southern lands ! Let
the wise who have taxed their ingenuity Sc
heavily i'll the last fifteen years to bring chaos
upon the South look into these facts and see
how they Gun explain them.

Tara Time for the i Nominations.

SlESC l4AC Ava 6Ah@ ASos>>~s@'
We yeHture to suggest to CONSERVATIVES
everywhere that II IS not the best policy TO
hurry up the county and district nomina..
tons. It win be better to leave the aspi-
rants little time to prove their zeal In the
common cause, as well as their ability and
capacity to serve the public, before deciding
their relative claims. Two decided adVan'
taees will thus be gained to the people:
LIST. The aspirants will exert tbemselves
earnestly, and
Cd. The people will better understand
their claims and the stuff they are made Of
If the consideration of the claims of the
local aspirants begins right away it may
divert attention from the State ticket to lis
injury and if the decision upon these claims
be made unnecessarily early, the zeal OF the
disappointed will in some cases be cooled,
and their services will be either lost, or no!
so efficient as they might be under other CIR.
cumstances.
A little caution amongst the people on TINS
point would be advantageous.
