Mr.. BococK Is well qualified to fill the chair.
But 1t might be a bad precedent to elect q
man who represents county in when
he does not reside. Mr.. BococK hight
come from Petersburg, or Norfolk. or
Brunswick, Just as we'll as from Apo
mattox. 1t IL a common thing for man
to appear as an alternate from county
in which he has not his domicile, but an
unusual If not new thing for such man
to appear as delegate. Mr.. BococK was
doubtless called delegate in order that ne
might be chosen president Of the Conven-
ton. He Is understood to bea warm frlend
OF General MALONE. ... ....- ~....:.,,
We do not say that it is wrong to aiio"
Mr.. BoCoCK to take his seat. This ne" ae-
parture may be good one. 1t VIII enap'o

A New Nominee.

RICHMOND, VA, August !, 1877.
Editors of the Dispatch: Gcntlemen.-
Don't you think we have eNperimented
long enough with politicians, lawyers, and
soldiers as subjects for the gubernatorial
chair? Don't you think it is high time we
should try what businessman could ac-
compish as occupant Of that chair? -
Don't you think ii we could find Il
thorough businessman, in whom are COM
bincd spotless reputation, an energetic
and unsel1sh patriotism, high order OF
intelligence, and perfect knowledge o. all
matters pertaining to finance aud COM
merce, he. in the present financial and COM
mercial depression of the State, would be
the very best selection we could make for
Governor? ....r. Z. -.
Now, we have such man in this city-a
man respected and honored by the whole
community. I mean Thomas w. McCance;
and accordingly, with the cordial concur
renee of number of citizens, suggest his
name as candidate before the Convention
on whom the friends OF all the aspirants can
compromise with honor to. themselves and
safety to the Commonwealth. .4. ....
Yours, very respectfully, -
CONSERVATIVE.
mot a, better man in the Common
wealth. /.

We have earnestly and persistently fought
against party and arneasure the endorse
sment OF which we thought would bring dis
grace and ruin upon our county and State.
In the result we are sustained by the tax
payers Of Rockbridge. In the primary
meetings this party has been partially sue
cessiul in the selection OF some Malone
delegates to represent our county at the
Richmond Convention.
These district meetings were slimly at.
tended by the Taxpayers OF RockDrldge,
and largely attended by persons interested
in the election OF DIR. Frazier to the House
OF Delegates on an adjustment platform,
In the County Convention reputation has
been repudiated by decided vote in the
selection of Honest John Letcher and Col
onel John c.. Shields to represent our county
in the next House OF Delegates.
We are satisfied with the result. AND now
that the contest is over, let all animoslties
arising from the excitement incident to it
be buried forever out OF sight, and coming
together again, let us endeavor to avert
the Impending danger and disgrace which
would result from dishonest policy in re-
gard to the State Decentralization Gazette.

COMING SOUTHERN PRosPERITT.-The New
York Express publishes a letter from White
Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, by Mr..
.Erastus Brooks, upon the labor Of the South.
the feeling there, and the steady growth OF
that section of the country since the war.
He gives gratifying picture Of the recupe-
ration OF those lately impoverished States.
He saws that exhausted fields are being reno
waited, old railroads restored and new ones
built, horses and cattle have been multiplied
faster than in the North, and he predicts
"for the future South, il not new heaven
new earth, and such prosperity as the
country south of the Potomac has never
known before. The secret OF the change is
that labor is now not only honorable but
honored1 .a.E '.t ...." .-s.

"Does the Landmarks speak by author

struction to Mahone's letter-the construc-
ttion which the Dispatch gave whom it ap-
proved that document. When it did that,
it had examined it; and as nothing has been
altered in the text, 1t is little odd to find
our contemporary giving it.a.new construc-
ton at this late hour in the canvass. But
we have answered the question. We donot

On which side, General? The Norfolk

clare that General MALONE is opposed. to
compulsory reimbursement, and i inti mt
very plainly that it is. .slanderous to charge
him with, being in favor OF it. But the
Richmond Wing and the Petersburg Post
are in favor Of compulsory adjustment.
Two MALONE papers on one side and two

Much has been said about the six millions
az State claims and stock that were passed
10 the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio rail-
road for the unsecured obligation OF that
company for four millions OF dollars with
out interest for ten years. We do not think
it important to discuss the matter with
reference to the Stairs interest, for not q
dollar Of it will ever be paid. Still, for accu-
racy and for improving the occasion to
show wha, better craftsmanship and pro-
per regard for the States interest might
have done, it may be instructive to con-
slider the matter. We state the States
claims and stock rs follows:
