! To the Eiit0r Of The State Jottraal:
There was large mass meeting of the
citizens here to-day to listen to a joint dis
cussion between Mr.. James f. Epes, COM
monwealth's s attorney, Judge William IL.
Mann, Conservatives, and Hon. George
w. Graham, state senator, John r. Bra
| dy, ESQ.,, Republican nominee Tor house
of delegates, Republicans.
judge Mann opened in half-hour
speech, which was as siclly and weak af-
| fair as we have heard since the war. He
| abused the Republicans generally, and
said the Conservatives did not want the
"niggers'" votes. as the fight was ''black
against white"
lie was followed by Mr.. Brady in q
scorchng speech, that made the Conserva.
tives vince on the debt question, and
conduct of their party towards the race
that protected their families during the
war, and was followed by Mr.. Epes in an
attempt to find some good in the defunct
Democratic party, in vain. lie asked the
colored men to vote against Conservatives,
as the test is ''colored against white" He
did better than Mann, but as speakers they
are poor specimens to 60 into discussion
against the most humble Republican of the
Southside, and really ought not to be
allowed to run at large and inture the
Conservative cause with their very feeble
efforts. ~,
Senator Graham spoke to the Conser-
vatives of their past four years miser-
able squandering of the peoples money in
the available assets of the state. Their
efforts to job away the "Jamas river and Ka-
nawha canal stock +" through their . hand
some governor !" their extravagant waste
of money in the management of the state
penitentiary, and in short, calling them to
account for their prodigal transactions in
as able speech as we have heard in the
past four years. He handled the 6 many
named, nameless party" with gloves off
in a polite, but determined manner, that
showed all present that he was no longer the
novice in politics, but an honest and ear
nest exponent of Republican principles, and
able to cope with the best Conservative
speakers of the Southside. He compared
the past careers of the Republican candi-
dates with that of the Conservatives in
way fearfully damaging to the latter-so
much so that a red-haired politician from
Prince Edward is sorry he cannot get
office-tried little game called "bluff," in
an insulting explanation, but did not scare
o Republican worth cent, and would
have been soundly chastised in minute
after offering a contemplate insult to SEN
ator Graham and being replied to in man
ner that made his /" red hair" crisp, had
he net been held--and he did not tear his
clothes much either while being held.
This adjourned the Joint discussion with
the Republicans. You may count on ma

LOOK AMONG YOUR LOOSE CHANGE
FOR THESE MARKs.-The Washington
Star says "An expert clerk in New
York city bank has detected two points of
difference between the genuine and coun-
terfeit $500 notes, which were not mem
toned in the government description, and
which are more easily observed than some
OF those mentioned. In the genuine note
the signature of Mr.. Spinner clearly over
lies the seal, while in the counterfeit the
seal has evidently been stamped on after
the signature. In the counterfeit the CEN
tire star in the cluster around the neck
of the Goddess of Liberty is defective,
while in the genuine it is perfect. These
differences ought to be sufficiently easy of
observation to prevent deception in any
CASE" L@

shinplasters will stray down in these parts.
