This is rather good news. We had heard

There is great dissatisfaction with the nom

From the jeremaid of the Dispatch and
the plaintive wailings of the chairman nj the
state executive committee of the conservative
party, it Is very plain that the panic has rea-
ched the exchequer Of that organization
Meade says they hav'nt dollar in the trea.
aury, and the Dispatch intimates that all is
in a bad fix if contributions do not come in
soon. We pity them, but the people have no
idea Of throwing their money away. The safe
plan would be 10 withdraw the Kemper tick
ct. That would be wise, and save a great
deal Of useless pleading. There is no chance
Of its election, and the withdrawal to give
the track entire to Republican, would be
simply following the precedent set in 1868,

notwithstanding the press
business generally in consequence of it, we no.
tics that the spirit of improvement is unabated.
in every direction, new buildings are going up,
and old ones being improved
The Picker block is rapidly approaching
completion, and now presents very imposing
and handsome exterior appearance. The plaster
ers are busy on the inside, and in short time
the whole immense building will be open for
business. This is the most extensive siagle, pri-
vate Improvement that has been made in the city
for years, and reflects credit on the nerve Of Mr..
Picker. We hope and have no doubt, the
store rooms will be at once occupied, and also
the upper floors.
THE AUGUSTA COUNTY FA1R-The selection of
Gen John Echols, as President of the Augusta
County Fair, to ELL the vacancy occasioned by
the death of Col John 3 Baldwin, places the
right man in the right place, Gen Echols will
bring to his aid, not only comprehensive and
public spirited mind, but the observations and
teachings he has en- joyed in witnessing many of
the great Fairs of the west He is familiar with
the workings of these institutions, and we. con-
fidently anticipate the introduction of new and
valuable ideas into the management of the Au-
gusta Fair. Aided, as he will be, by an efficient
Directory, we venture the prediction that thu
Fair of 1874 will far surpass anything Of the
kind ever held in Virginia.
