There were few prettier pictures than
that disclosed in the old reclory garden
on that bright winter morning. Tiptoe,
her arms raised TO a branch of grow
ing holly, her glossy hair falling from
her fair face over her seal-skin jacket,
and her violet eyes sparkling, was May
Westleigh, the Rector's daughter, while
within few feet of her, watching her
efforts with much amusement and a
vast amount of admiration, stood
Thomas Mildmay, a handsome young
muscular Christian, attired in a tweed
suit and felt hat. Suddenly the latter
burst forth:

THE COMPETITIVE DRJLL--THE PENINSULA
GUARD CoMING--ExPECTED WASHINGTON
yIsIToRs-THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DIVISION
OF THE MILITARY FUND.
The following letter will remove an erro'
neous impression and probably furnish
some information to Colonel johnson and
Adiutant Stern:
HAMPTON, Va, October 6, 1877.
Coptain John Il. Curtis, Richmond, Fd.:
Dear Alex.,-The Peninsula Guards have
determined to come to Richmond and com
pete for the prize offered for the best-drllleo
company, notwithstanding the fact that the
DisDntch states differently. That paper
coined it's article from the Hampton Moni.
tor. which published 1t without any author
ity. They. however, correct it in to-day's
issue. We will leave Hampton Tuesday
evening. 30th instant, at 4 O'Clock, on the
steamer Hampton, which the company (Old
Dominion) will run to accommodate its
patrons in Hampton and adjoining coun'
ties, and will arrange to arrive in Rich
mond about sunrise Wednesday morning.
The reason we go Tuesday night is that
most Of the men cannot stay more than two
days in Richmond, and we think it best to be
there Wednesday and Thursday, and Leave
Richmond Thursday night and get home in
time for work or business Friday morning.
Twill write an official letter to Captain
Stern, adjutant OF the First Virginia regi-
ment, in few days, announcing our inten-
ton OF entering the drill. Iwish you would
also correct the item in the Dispatch OF the
Sd instant, and get them to state that we in
tend competing for the prize.
Your friend, S. B. WOOD.
Company A, OF the Washington ID. C.,
Light Infantry Corps, will also visit Rich
mond during the Fair. They will come on
an excursion train, for whic! the price Will
be put down very low.
The Washington Republican says: "It
is almost safe to predict that full thou
sand persons will 60 with them to Rlch'
mond. The company will be absent from
home only one day, but it is understood
that the tickets will permit the holders to
remain during the continuance OF the Fair
if they are disposed to tarry that long in
the City of the Hills
The following paragraph has an authori-
tative ring about it:
"There is q prevailing impression among
the military Of this community that an ap-
propriation of arms and equipments has
been made in favor OF the Cadets OF the Viz
ginia Military Institute and Dreludicial to
the rights and interests Of the volunteers
under the law. The case properly stated is
that each volunteer company in the State
has received more in the way Of arms and
equipments per man than the corps OF Ca
diets, and each and every individual volun-
tcer has, in addition to his musket-the
only equipment furnished the Cadets-a
complete and full set OF accoutrements. The
truth is that the Cadets, who are, in fact, the
sodies Of the State, have been neglected in
respect to arms until within the last ten
days, while the volunteers have been sup
piled without stint ever since the war. The
want OF funds prevented the same liberalty
OF appropriation to the Virginia Military
Institute Cadets. The complaint is as un-
founded as it is unjust"

MANCHESTER NEWS.

.. The LegisIatire CanudSs.-At the bolters'
meeting held at the old courthouse Mon
day, MIR. W. w. Pace, of Midlothian, one
of the Committee on Business, presented
minority report, as follows:
RESOLVED, That this meeting endorses
the action of the Conservative Convention
held September 5th.
This was defeated by large majority.
Colonel William Ambers, one OF the IN
dependent candidates for the Legislature,
is q Conservative canvasser for Chesterfield
county by appointment of the State Com
mittee. AS his position on the independent
ticket is rather inconsistent with his office
as Conservative canvasser, it is probable
that he will resign one or the other posi-
ton. There is said to be strong move
ment upon the part OF many Conservatives,
who value the harmony and integrity OF the
Conservative party to individuals, who have
more regard for principles than men, to en-
deayor to induce all the Conservatives now
in the field to withdraw, and to substitute
in their stead the names OF entirely new
men. Among the prominent names men
toned in this connection are those OF Cap
tain James B. Jones, OF Bermuda, and Da-
vid NJ. Goode, Of Glover Hill, and Henry
W. Bransford, OF Manchester, and William
T. Radcliffe, OF Matoaca. ..."',
AS the matter stands at present the defeat
of both the regular and boiting Conserva-
tive ticket seems inevitable.
Mayor Chiles will speak at Manakin,
Goochland county, October 18th, and at
Goochland Courthouse Thursday, October
18th (court-day).
The Conservative majority in Manchester
and Chesterfield county is about 400. But
we cannot spare vote, so great is the indlf-
ference usually manifested in the legisla-
tive election by the Chesterfield people.

Minor Iopics.-There is no Disgusting
the fact that the Conservative bolt in Ches-
terGeld is a serious one. 1t has the counte-
nance OF John Bottoms and other men OF
weight.
Remember that there will be services at
the Baptist church every night this week.
Hobson's hop has been postponed until
further notice.
Bridge avenue is sadly in need OF the
sidewalk that was taken up at the time the
street was graded.
The Richmond stage-lne is great sue
cess, and is patronized as much as in the
long summer days.
The principal orator at the bolters' meet
ING was young man who has heretofore
been looked upon as a mere coxcomb.

MAcEvoY's H1BERNIcoN.-The second
representation of MacEyoy's Hibernicon at
the Virginia Opera-House last night at
traeted a goodlY audience, who were more
than pleased at the scenic, musical, and
character entertainment presented. The
Hibernicon illustrates with remarkable
fidelity the wondrous landscape beauties OF
Erin, together with historical pictures OF
great battles fought in the heroic past OF
that unhappy country. The comedy com
pany, with Mr.. Charles MacEvoy at their
head, embraces artists of considerable merit,
whose varied performances are replete with
mirth, music, pathos, and mimicry; the
whole combining to make one Of the most
pleasing entertainments imaginable. To
one and all, but more particularly the sons
and daughters OF the Emerald Isle, the
attractions presented have more than pass
ing interest, and no one should fail to spend
an evening in their enjoyment. There will
be three more perfo-mances-to-night, to-
morrow afternoon (matinee), and tomorrow
night, .--...-.. ..-s .w4

EUttOTS W tieo DtoP"tUs'
1t is rumored that the subcommittee ap-
pointed by the City Committee have recon-
mended plan under which, in the event
that FIVE of the candidates for the House OF
Delegates do not receive majority OF all
the votes cast in primary election, dele
gates shall be appointed to a convention by
the candidates in proportion to the vote
they shall receive. In the cause OF fair
play, and for the sake OF harmony in the
Conservative party, the writer desires earn
estly to invoke the City Committee to adopt
pure plan of primary election. The
people are disgusted with the dirty work OF
rings, cliques, and conventions. For seve-
raj years past it has been customary with
our party to give the nominations to the
candidate or candidates receiving the high
est number OF votes. This plan has given
satisfaction. Why, then, change it now
Let the City Committee, consulting the
wishes OF the people and the good Of the
party, put its veto on the holding OF con-
yention. FAIR PLAY.

was arrested yesterday and taken to the
Second station-house on the charge OF being
suspicious character. he came here
about week or ten days ago from Danville,
and for time bestowed his patronage upon
Ford's Hotel. Then being compelled to seek
new quarters in default OF payment OF
his bill, he went to the Capitol Hotel,
where he was staying when taken into Gus
,tody. He belongs to hlghiy-respectabie
family. and came on to Virginia in the hope
Of obtaining employment, and has worked
some, repairing sewing machines; but his
financial condition is one that needs speedy
readiustment. Some letters have been ad-
dressed to him in the name OF Allen. So
far as known, he has done nothing worse
than 60 into debt at the hotels in Danville
and Richmond.
