OXFORD. The Orange Associa-

Ter on Tuesday of this week. The
number present was not large, but
tho interview was highly pleasant
aud profitable. Articles that were
prepared and read indicated care
on the part of their authors, while
the criticisms were full and benef-
cial. We were feeling somewhat
sad over the loss of some of our
valuable membe RS. who have been
called to other fields of labor, though
we trust that the providence of God
has ,,een leading them. What is
our loss will be the gain TO those
with whom they may be called IN

people of Bath are encouraged and

F.. WAsTIsG SlsEEP. curious fact
was noted at the Western fairs lately
held that specimen sheep were very
scarce. AS to other live stock the dis
plays have not been bad, and the no.
blest animal of all, the horse, was a
prominent figure in the late Western
and Eastern exhibitions. The horse
race has saved mauy fairs from failure.
but it does not seem to have suficed to
have saved the Western fairs. The
Illinois fair wasso poor and cheap that
the managers are undecided about 90
ing on next year A Chicago writer
asserts that in a State with two hun
dred and ninety cheese factories in op-
Grafton only one was represented at the
fair At the Iowa fair the HOG was
the only strong point. The hog is a
success almost everywhere in this coun
try. Other animals are exposed to
various risks, and crops may fail, bu;
the hogs takes care of himself nder
all circumstances This, however. un-
fortunately, cannot be said of that
most valuable animal, the sheep. it is
said to have almost disappeared from
the Western States. The deg, whose
services to society are doubtful, is the
implacable enemy Of the sheep at the
West, in the South, and throughout
the country, except in the remote Yves
tern wilderness We see it stated
that the owner of ten thousand sheep
in Illinois has been obliged to send
them to Colorado, finding that his
nelghbors' dogs killed the flock in some
instances at the rate of five hundred a
night. In Virginia sheep raising has
ceased to be profitable owing to the
nightly rayages of worthless ours that
hunt in bands like the wild dogs of
India. The annual loss from this cause
in Maryland is very large, and in the
United States is so great in single
year that sheep raisers may have to
band together and hurt down the dogs
as the dogs hunt down the. sheep. If
either dogs or sheep must be given up
the dogs, who are only luxury at best
will have to give place to an animal
which is useful. -BaH Snn.

VIRdINIAS DELEGATION 20 THE NEXT
CONGRESS.

In the First District, Major Beverly
B. Douglass, Conservative, Is elected
beyond doubt.
/, In the Second District the contest is
still undecided. The vote is very close.
Intense interest is felt on all hands in
the result. Goode, the Conservative
champion, has accomplished wonders,
and deserves the gratitude Of the whole
party We still hope that he is elected.
Since the above was written. we
learn Goode is defeated by $50
In the Third District, ex>Governol
G. G. Walker, Conservative, is elected.
We expected him to receive fully 5000
majority; he got about $500 We are
not quarreling about a hundred or so
votes, considering this was regarded a
Radical district.
In the Fourth District, Mr., Stowell,
the Radical carpet Dagger, is returned.
This was well understood before hand,
as there was, in fact,no open opposition
on account of the immense negro
majority.
In the Fifth district the gallant
Cabell, Conservative, is elected by a
handsome majority
In the Sixth district, Hon. J. r.
Tucker, Conservative is elected by a
majority of thousands.
In the Seventh district, Judge Harris
Conservative, is returned to Congress
by a heavy majority.
In the Eight district General Hunton
Conservative, beats Barbor, Indepen.
dent, OF radical by some five or six
! hundred.
In the Ninth district, Gen. Wn.
Terry, Conservative, walks over the
course with handsome majority over

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

The magnitude ofthe political revou-
ton which has brought disaster to the
radical party can scarcely be apprecia
ted The most sangnine of Democratic
POLITICIANS predicted that they would
probably have majority of thirty in
the next House of Repre- sentatives,
while Republicans claimed, that they
would certainly continue to hold a
majority. The States Of Massachusetts,,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, in 1872,
gave Grant and aggregate majority OF
1870 This fall these seven States
have all gone against the Radical party
by an aggregate majority of $1,000
change in two years OF $4,000 In
the present House of Representatives
elected two years ago, the Radicals have
a majority Of one hundred and two. In
slre next House, tire elections of this
fall show that the opposition will have
a majority of at least scventy-fvs, -
change Of one hundred and seventy
seveta.
1t, indeed, seems impossible to esti
mate the extent CT the tide which has
almost, at one blow swept Radicalism
from the country. Massachusetts has
Joined hands with Louisiana in this
mighty revolution. The people have
united in one grand effort to wrest the
country from tie Hands Of a corrupt
horde Of politicians, and have with a
united voice demanded return to
constitutional government
The white people of this great couE.
try are unwilling that the legislation of
Congress shall be exclusively for the
benefit of the negro, while the most
Important interests of the country are
permitted to languish. A change was
determined upon, and that change was
made with suddenness that startled
those who few weeks ago imagined
that their lease of power was unlimited.
Third term has been abandoned. Extra
weights are being thrown overheard
During the coming winter every effort
will be made to Tighten the rotten old
hulk in order to override the storm
which now threatens its existence. In
.rmouhtable obstacles intervene
To destroy the corruptioas which are
now dead weight to the Radical party
will necessitate the exposure of the
various rings which have operated
under the sanction or with the cor
nivance Of those holding high and re-
sponsible positions. These exposures
will only demonstrate the necessity of
the change which is nov in progress.
Reformation is demanded by the people,
reformation, that means the entire
overthrow of Radicalism. The daH II
approaches. The full light of liberty
under restored constitutional govern
ment will soon cheer the hearts of our
people. Let us be cheered by the
present achievements and look forward
to more glorious future.
