The canvass.

For GOvERNOR.-We have received
communications from different parts of
the State in regard to the outlook here
for Governor. We see no reason to
report any change in the status of the
various candidates. Other than a
marked antipathy to General Malone,
there seems to be little unanimity of
feeling. Our people, we believe, would
support Terry or any other good man
in the Southwest with an almost solid
vote.
Some weeks ago General Malone
had several very active and very eff.
Gent friends in our town and county,
butnow we do not know more than
one man whose first choice for Governor
would fall on him. We do not see
much chance for a Southwestern man
being nominated, but we are decidedly
in favor of a solid vote on the first
ballot for some of our most eminent
citizens-General Terry for instance
and then his friends would be organic
ed and occupy a very commanding
position in the Convention either to
push his nomination or to give decisive
strength to some other man who who
is not obnoxious to Our interest, and
merer has been.-Clinch Valley Meas.
THE GUBERNAToRIAL QUESTION.
The fact that strikes the observer most
at present is that the most of stir about
this matter ia Virginia is made by the
''friend," which in politics may mean
the drummers, Of various candidates
who want the office. The Holiday men
seem cool and satisfied; the Malone
men are foamlng like Seidlitz powder;
the Daniel men are sitting, on the ca
nal-bank at Lynchburg throwing out
line and hauling in a county now and
then. and the Lee and Taliaferro men
take weekly races through the columns
of the Virginia Patron. the Grange paper
at Richmond. sometimes one and some-
times the other having the best show.
One of the features of this rather pre-
mature convass is the Richmond Whig
undertaking to prove that Malone has
many friends in the Valley, The Win
chester Times wants TO know their
names, in the lower Valley, and so do
we. If the popular feelingis strictly rep
resented, and no slip las, J" there won't
Malone delegate go from the Valley
of Virginia.-Staunton indicator.
WHO SHALL BE GovERNoR?-Ou
Eastern exchanges are discussing wheth-
er Fitz Lee, or Rooney Lee, or Gener-
al Taliaferro, or Malone, or Daniel, or
Beverly shall be Governor. There is
good material among these names, but
what of Holiday, whose name has been
so prominently mentioned! He GER
tainly will hove a count on his behalf.
What of General Walker of the South
west ? and what of Colonel johnson,
who, whilst his merits have not been
canvassed generally, is second. at least,
to none named for the place.-Rooh1ng-
ham Register.

CUSTER AND HIS COMRADES

CUSTER AND HIS COMRADES
A Washington dispatch states that
Northumberland Sheridan proposes
to send an expedition to the scene Of
General Custer's fight with Sitting Bull
for the purpose of removing the remains
of those who were massacred upon that
occasion, and giving them burial with
proper military honors at such point as
may be designated by the War Depart
ment. Gen. Crittenden, whose son fell
in the fight, objects to the removal, and
has written letter asking that the re-
mains of the heroic band be permitted
to rest where they are now inferred,
that theyma slgnalize, for all time, the
spot where they SO nobly fell. At the
last session of Congress authority was
granted for the erection of two addition
al military posts in the Yellowstone
valley, leaving the location discretionary
with Northumberland Sheridan. 1t
is understood he has selected the scene
of the Custer massacre, on the Little
Big Horn river, as a site for one of
these two forts, to be called Fort Custer
and it is probable the spot where
Clusters troops fell and are buried will
be preserved AZ a cemetery.

The Richmond correspondent Of the
Petersburg Index has a pleanant bit OF
satire at the expense of the passion for
military titles so common in this State
He says that a number of newspaper
men in Virginia will soon apply to the
proper authorities fer charter of incor-
poration for The Society for the Extir-
patton of Bogus Military Titles" Each
man will be required to sign a solemn
pledge not to write or print or to au-
thorize or permit others to write for
him, name to which is attached a
military title not fairly earned in war.
The object is 10 preserve to deserving
gentlemen some small share of the hon.
ors won by them at the lannon's

Mr.. E. E. White, Collector Of the
Richmond Internal Revenue district, on
Saturday last received a letter from
Secretary Sherman informing him that
the President would be glad to receive
his resignation to date from June 80.
Mr.. White Immediately forwarded his
resignation to take effect from the date
mentioned. The removal was made in
consequence Of no objection to Mr..
White or to the manner in which he has
conducted the affairs of the Office, but
because of the Presidents avowed
policy of home rule and appointing
Southern men to Southern Offices.

The Wing the other day published
the gratifying statement that in South
Carolina the rate of the State taxation
had been reduced to seven mills on the
dollar. Whereupon the Petersburg
Post with patriotic fervor, asks "When
will the Legislature of Virginia give our
tax-ridden people such rate?" And
then the Index explains that our down
trodden citizens only pay five mills on
the dollar now, and the Post has the
foorto explain. This is but another
instance of the readiness of people to

Gubernat0rial Question.

The friends of the different gentlemen
whose names haYe been prominently
mentioned in connection with the nomi-
nation for Governor are growing warm
in the cause. Holidays supporters
are generally quiet but determined and
earnest in the support of their choice.
The Malone men are clustering, dc
tatorial and evince a spirit that would
seem to spring from the conviction that
the state belongs to Gen, .Mahone, and
that it is impudence and arrogance for
any citizen or any newspaper to sup
port any other candidate. They evil
IDENTIFY propose to ride, rough shod,
over all opposition and carry their man
through by main force. The admirers
of Daniels are less noisy but have an
unwavering confidence in the ability
and sterling quality Of their favorite
and will work zealously for him. Other
candidates have their supporters who
will expect to draw strength from the
mutual opponents of the stronger cam
didates, and it is not improbable shat
from this class the nomination may be
selected. In addition to these different
interests there is another influence that
may have weight and is based upon the
aspiration of parties for the other Off
ces. Those who have chance for
nomination for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF
Attorney General will probably throw
their influence in favor of candidate
who does not hail from their section OF
the state. A candidate for Governor
who is surrounded by aspirants for
either of The other offices is thereby
deprived Of much Of his strength. Such
is the appearance Of the canvass at
present, but before the assembling OF
the convention, the strength Of one OF
the more prominent candidates may be
so increased, that it will Illustrate COM
pletely the designs Of the wire workers.
Let us trust that they will give lis a
candidate whose personal qualities viii
command the earnest and enthusiastic
support Of every section of the state.

Croy reports from all parts of Cali
fornia show that the recentrain has had
beneficial effect generally on late
sown grain and has improved the pros.
pect for feed. Some damp has resulted
from lodging Of early sown grain and
the we-ting Of hay cut, but on the
whole the harvest promises rather
better than at the last report. Ex-
porters are estimating the surplus OF
