THE GREENEVILLE FAIR.

Our observation of the Greene
vile Fair were confined to the sec
ond day, and we were told that the
best of the occasion was reserved
for the third and last one. Ten
acres of rolling woodland, car
peted with wild grasses, had been
enclosed and a large and handsome
building, in the form Of a cross,
surmounted the central elevation,
and afforded storage for the handi-
work Of the beautiful ladies who
were there in vast numbers. The
Central portion Of the building was
swmountod by a third story which
was appropriated to the use Of the
Grcencville Brass Band, which fur
nishcd music which was actually
good. Of stock, very little had
been entered, except some Hogs
which were the property Of Mr.. R.
Carter. A two year old Chester
White weighed 735 lbs. and year
old one SOP II. \ half Chester
half Burkshire, a year old weighed
5l7. On tie table in the exposi-
ton building we saw many speci-
mems of beautiful Butter, but for
incompatible excellence, that fur
nished by Mrs. Brumley, was en-
titled to particular mention, Many
Jars Of fresh fruits, particularly of
peaches, were so white and beau
tiful that they could not be excel
led. The needle-work, and patch
work were IN fine display. A wor-
sted quilt made by Mrs. DR.. Ear
nest of Messy Creek, contained 27,-
GOO pieces. EX-president j Johnson
was on the ground,moving unosten-
tahonsly about. The climbing ofthe
greasy pole by some urchins and a
fifteenth amendment, closed the
day. A white lad Of IS years got
tie cup on top of it, but he had to
draw sand from his pocket, and he
certainly had sand in his gizzard.

Old Pete'S Conscience.

The colored brother who is conscious
of the infirmities of man, and aspires
to higher and purer life, is seldom
without words to express his emotions.
albeit sometimes in phrase more direct
and blunt than elegant. So it was
with and old negro named Pete, who
was very much troubled about his sins.
Perceiving him one day with down.
cast look, his master asked him the
cause.
"Oh, massa, I'm such a great sim
ner!" .r.t.
But, Pete" said his master, "vou
are foolish to take it so much to heart.
You never see me troubled about my
sins"
II know de reason, massa," said
Pete: when you go out Understanding,
and kill one bird and wound anoder,
don't you run after de wounded ducku'
"Yes. Pete" and the master won-

The Platform of the COnserya-
tive PARTY,

We, the representatives of the Conser-
vative people of Virginia, in Conven-
ton assembled do declare
First. That contrast of the con-
dition of Virginia under Conservative
those Southern States which have been
under I,adical rule. illustrates the
wisdom of the people of Virginia in
the adoption of their plan of State
policy, and demonstrates the necessity
of continuing the powers of the State
in the control of the Conservative peo-
pie of this Commonwealth.
Second. That the chief purpose of
the Conservative party of Virginia is to
secure to every citizen of this Com
mOnwealth, whether native or adopted;
of the white or colored race, exact and
impartial justice, and to promote by
wise and beneficient legislation, the
prosperity of our whole people.
Third. That the Conservative party
of Virginia. disGlaiming all purposes of
captiOus hostility to General Grant,
will judge him impartially by his
official action, and will cordially CO.
operate in every measure of his admin
istratiOn which may be heneficent i'm
its design, and calculated to promote
the welfare of the people and to culti-
vate sentiments of good will between
the Union.
Fourth, That the interests of large
section of this Union, no less than
those of Virginia, demand the speedy
enlargement and completion of the
great James River and Kanawha wa
ter line that should connect the wa
ters of the Ohio with those of the Ches-
apeake, atfording to the teeming pops
ulatiOn of the West cheap transpOrta-
ton of their products to the point of
of shipment and marts of trade in the
East. The completion by the govern
ment of this great design of George
Washington would be an additional
bond of union between the commu-
mites whose products and commo-
dities would pass over the line of the
great national work.
Fifth. We recognize as q funda-
mental political truth, that upon the
intelligence and virtues of its people
must rest the prosperity, and powers
pre-eminence of a State. We point
with pride to the successful establish
ment and progress of the free school
=.
conducted under circumstances of Pc
culiar difficulty. for which we are
indebted to the wisdom and zeal of Il
Conservative State government. Lib
eral provision ought to be continued
for the support and retention of the
free schools for the white and colored
races respectively.
The resolutions were considered
seriatim.
General Early objected to the reso-
luton relative to James River and
Kanawha Canal, as he thought it a
matter in the interest of the Great
West and entirely beyond the control
of the United States Government.
The report and resolutions of the
committee were carried almost unani-
mously, only one vote being cast in the
negative.

The New Assessment {!

In late number of the NcsCs we set
,ofth the fact that the new Assessment
~ Messrs. Rhea, Bets and Cummings,
'ulnlnlssioners, had increased the
'4aoie valuation ofGoodson, and de-
.,e''sed :. that of Abingdon. Our atten-
.,on mas been called to the fact that
~ ,'lS may produce the impression that
.ne commissioners were partial in the
'scharge Of their duties. Such was
,'o' our intention. We merelyused the
I'M by way of Illustration. The fact
0is great difference in the assess
Zen INT but exhibits the great growth in
1'Olson, and the statue quo of Abing-
u' Only the and nothing more.

The man Of scissors he calmly eyed

The cockroseh spoke 10 the man of shears,
"Old friend, you look tired and glum;

Has Gratz been away from homer"
"Old cock, spoke up the man of shears

W hat bothers me, my brave old cock,

"TbeY lie Oh Kemper, they lie on Hughes,
They lie or President Grant;

But, cock, it's powerful scant"
The cookroaeh spoke to the man Of shears:
Great gun Of TRUTH uttered he,
'The best a man placed like you can do
