MANASSAS, VA, August IL 1875.
Several synonymous articles have lately ap.
peared in the Alexsndria Gazette and Sentinel
in advocacy of Judge Sinclair's election to the
Senate, which claim for him large aud almost
unanimous vote of the Conservative party of
this county. That these articles are written for
effect and really misrepresent the facts is ap-
parent to every one who is at all cow ersant with
the true state of the sentiment of the Conserva-
tive party. Having taken some pains to inform
myself, state that Judge Nicol Ia by odds the
choice of the party.
That this article, written to correct any erro-
neous impression that may have been made by
the articles referred to, may not by those unad,
vised upon the subject be subjected to like criti-
cism of being. written for effect, l make this
proposition: will bet $500 that Judge Nicol
Will at the approaching primary Senatorial
election obtain a majority of the votes cast at
that election in the county, and like bet of $50
on each of the six townships OF the county. So
that if the writers of those articles or other
friends of Judge Sinclsir's are ready to endorse
what they say, here afford them an opnortuni-
ty to do so. WIN. w. DAVIS,

SATURDAY, AUGUST "A.

The London Times expresses the following
views on American trade and credit, in relation
to the panic of 1873. and the number of fail
ures in the first half Of the present year. 1t
observes: This is said to be less average
than iu years before the panic, and it is argued,
therefore, that business is now scunder, but
that it is a. very doubtful conclusion. "Sus-
pension is much more readily adopted in Am
erica than here in ordinary times. When a
man is at all pressed for ready money he sus-
ponds and lets bis creditors wait. Probably
iD many cases these are afterwards paid 10 .ull
with interest, and the man who has thus hon
oraby gone through crisis in his affairs re-
CARDS himself as a superior to bis fellows who
plod on und steadily pay their way. In times
Of growing business that was merely an easy if
somewhat inconvenient way of asking one =
creditors to wait the results Of current ventures,
but since the autumn of 1878 we doubt if such
course has been SO open to embarrassed peo-
pie. More probably they have struggled on
against an adverse fate, aud succumb now of
necessity, and not from choice"
