A Good Joke ON Faye.te McMullin.

"Sallington," of Rockbridge, writes
to the Lynchburg Nrginiam:
l see that that irrepressible old dema-
gOgue Fayette McMullin is again on the
rampage, making himself more ridic-
ulous nuisance than ever before, talk
ing OF "repudiation" and "new State
in the Southwest" When the honest
farmer sees protruding excrescences
swelling out from his fruit trees he
knows vile and destructive insects are
beneath, and SO in turbulous times in
Virginia, when you hear the voice of
that venerable "bellowing bull of Ba-
shan" you may know the vileness of
the earth is fermenting beneath to the
disgust of everything decent. The State
has long tried to rid herself of him, but,
like bad penny he always comes
back. I remember when all good Demo-
Gratis rejoiced to think the party was
rid of him forever; and as it was the
only instance in which his "front of
brass" was caused to blush and take a
back seat l will relate it for his profit
now: 1t was in the Convention that
nominated HI. A. Wise for Governor, in
Staunton, in 1866. 1t was a stormy
body, but an able one. Mr.. Janney
was chairman, and to get the body quiet
he recognized Fayetfe, knowing his
voice would drown all others, and it
did. The Hon. Fayette was in his glory,
and no turkey cock ever swelled out
and snorted as he did. He said:
"Fellow-Democrats, Hear me for my
cause, and be silent that you may hear.
[Cheers.] Having been appointed by
our good and great President to be Gov
ernor of Washington Territory, nothing
but a desire once more to meet you
could have kept me from my post this
long. [Groans and cheers Hear me,
gentlemen, for this is possibly-I may
say most probabIy-the last time you
will ever hear the familiar voice of Fay
cite McMullin." He got no further
The Convention rose to its feet, and one
wild, laundering yell of "Good, good,
good" shook the house to its founda :
ton, and even the Hon. Fayette was so
abashed that he sat down. The flooring
of the old Methodist church gave way,
confusion worse confouDded took place,
the Convention adjourned to Town
Hall, and the honorable Governor OF
Washington Territory took the first
train west, unwept, unhonored. and un-
sung. But he came back, and ever
since has been great carbuncle of dio
turhance to the party. Let him sub
side, or let his people show their respect
for other portions Of the State by follow
ing the example of the Democratic
Convention in subsiding him.
