Fairfax Republican Convention.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
FAIRFAX e. H., Va, April 22.-The Re.
publican County Convention met in the Court
house to-day. The Convention was called to
order by o. f. Hine, Chairman Of the County
Committee, and on motion o. L. Hue, he be-
ing also delegate, was elected President Of
the Convention.
On motion acommittee Of five was appointed
By the chair, Of which Judge j. IL. Gray was
Chairman, which having retired for consulta-
tioD, made the following report
Believing that the time has fully arrived
when partisan politics in the State should 90
longer be countenanced, but that every citizen
should feel at liberty to break every party tic
and support only such men and measures as
tend to develop economical and honest govern
ment, we insist on the restoration OF an en-
lightcned township system aud demand re.
duction of State expenses and oppose excessive
State legislation.
Resolved, That this Convention declines to
make nominations for the following Offices tor
which the following gentlemen have been nom
mated or are independent candidates:
Clerk Of County Court, +. ID. Richardson
Commonwealth Attorney, j. NJ. Love; Sher-
if, Charles Labdstreet; Treasurer, John II.
Chichester, and Commissioner OF Revenue,
South side, Purdy MakeIy.
The Convention then palloted for the only
remaining Office, that Of Commissioner Of the
Revenue on the North side, when j. NJ. Thorn,
having received majority OF the votes cast,
was declared the nominee.
Had the Convention found nominee or 40
independent candidate for the last-named Of
fee 'as tend to develop economical and honest
government, it is presumed they would not
have met. To the credit Of John W. Mohler,
who was a candidate for the nomination Tor
Sheriff before the Conservative Convention,
be it written, that though overtures we're made
to him, he declined the use Of his name under
any and all circumstances, and will give the
Conservative ticket his cordial support.
Job Hawxhurst was elected Chairman Of the
County Committee, 0. f. Hue declining re-
election. \.

the exception of a few bruises, and APP

THE MASSACRE IN INDIA.
FURTHER PARTTCU DIRE VENGEANCE
TOBE METED OUT TO THE SAHAGES.

New YORK, April ga Calcutta cor
respondent writing Of the massacre in
the Loga Hills of the surveying party
under Lieutenant Halcombe, says that
the heads of the slain were taken off by
the survivors to prevent their being pa
raded in the villages Of the Nagos, as
those savages think as much of the caput
as the American Indians do of a scalp.
The number of killed and wounded, as
far as can be ascertained, are eighty
killed, ffty-one slightly wounded, and
fity.two unhurt. The Supreme Govern
ment intends sending two regiments
forward at once, when the massacre VIII
be avenged. The orders to these regl-
ments are to exterminate the root and
branch of all the villages and villagers
of what are known as the Sanua and
miner villages of the Loga Hill tribes
The savages numbered nearly two hund'
red. and obtained access to the camps o.
the surveyors under pretense of bringing
presents to the officers and selling Prov
Sions. &C., to the remainder Of the party

Sheep Raising and woa Growing.

There is perhaps Nc place within
the bounds Of civilization in the Uni-
ted States, where sheep raising is q
more irritable business than it may
be made here. 1t is a we'll known
fact to practicle sheep r~aisers, that
cold weather, even if it be very cold.
is not severe on sheep 80 long as they
are kept dry, and as it never rains
here during tee cold weather and the
snow is light and dry. the sheep are
always comparatively comfortable.
The past winter has been unusually
severe. and more than the usual
amount Of snow has fallen, yet, a gen.
tleman, who has winscrcd seven hun
dred sheep on the South Loup. in
forms me that he has only fed seven.
teen tons Of hay. aud only lost twenty
five head, Of which quite . number
were killed by wolves, and the flock is
now in good order and in fine healthy
condition. This branch Of business is
not developed Is it should be. but
enough has been done to prove beyond
q reasonable doubt, that it must be q

TIE CONVENTION

Within twenty four hours the Ne
braska Constitutional Convention wall
begin the labor rus task Of framing q
fundamental Law for the people Of
tins State. How they viii squit
themselves Of this great responsibility
depends in q great measure upon the
method pursued by the Convention 10
distributing the work, and the in1iyid
ual capacity OF members to grasp the
great problems that come before them
for solution It is naturally to be ex-
pected that almost every member has
set his heart upon s0me pet project
which he desires to engrah upon the
fundamental law. Many Of these
projects which may appear sound the
Oretically, would not stand the test
when put into practical execution.
Radical differences Of opinion will
doubtless arise upon sOme Of the es.
sential measures Of reform, and mex
perinced members should bear IN
mind that such differences are incl
dental to all dclibclatiye bodies. The
convention is largely made up Of new
men in public life and it is hardly to
be expected that each member will
thoroughly comprehend every grave
question that ONE up for discussion.
The principle work must necessarily
be done by the various committees;
and If the Convention shall select a
presiding officer who is thoroughly
master Of the situation, classification
members according to individual ca
pacity and training will materially re-
duce the difficulties Of committee
work.
Great bodies move slowly, and
while the numerai strength Of the
convention will inevitably prolong tho
the session. the members should bear
in wiDd that Nebraska cannot at this
time, afford the luxury Of u sixty day
convention!
While we have always regarded the
Constitution Of 1871 IS an almost per-
feet instrument, new questions which
have since that time arisen may make
certain departures from that formula
absolutely essential.
Some Of these points we propose to
discuss during the progress OF the
session. The lively interest exhibited
by the BEE 10 the past in every effort
to secure constitutional refUrm for
the people Of this Stste will, IL il
hoped, entitle it's views to q candid
and impartial consideration Oman a
