There are on the book OF registered tuhite

dents Of Suffolk, or entitled to vote in Sui-
folk. Eleven OF the 237 are Radicals. who, Of
course, were not allowed to take part in our
late meeting; are so old or infrm, or both:
as never to be able to leave their homes to
vote ut any time, and are therefore classed
with non-voterS mo one ever counts them);
and 81 have removed from Suffolk and are
residents Of various localities, not OF SUI
folk, and they were therefore not called
upon to vote ut our late meeting. Their
names are still in my book, because they
have never applied for transfers. Deduct
from 237 these III. 5, and q, totaD 43, who
could in no wise take part as voters in our
meeting, and you have 1914 Conservative

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dspatch.l
July Is, 1877.
Our county meetings, being now only two
weeks off July 2Sth), are becoming the
subject OF conversation. The only activity
shown 80 far has been in the circulation OF
some letters written by General Malone.
Some laughable mistakes have occurred In
their distribution, some being sent to for
lner residents OF the Southside who are
strong Holiday men.
In the Circuit Court this week Judge
Mclaughlin rejected an application for the
appointment OF receiver for the Rock
bridge Alum Springs property; so Mr..
James A. Frazier, the present host, will re-
main in possession and welcome his visitors
during the season, which, by-the-bye, hear
will be good one there.
Mr.. A. Z. Miller. OF whose accident in
walking out OF window while asleep
wrote you, is nearly recovered.
Mr.. Charles l.. Todd, Of your City Coun-
Gil, is in the city on visit to his brother,
Mr.. John w. Todd, who is most efficient
member Of our City Council.
Colonel John Lewis Peyton, who was one
OF the Confederate agents in Europe during
the war, has purchased a part OF the "Spring
Farm" on the northern edge of the city, ut
$50 per acre.
An unexcelled feat OF harvesting took
place on Dr. Douglas's farm, near town this
week, being the cutting Of forty-two acres
OF wheat by six men in one day.

To the Editors Of the Dispatch:
Somebody has telegraphed, as we see, to
the Post, OF Petersburg, "that Pulaski in
structed first for General James A. Walker,
then for General Malone" This amt so.
The delegates are instructed for General
Walker; but they, are rot only not in
structed, but they will not vote for General
Malone, and we don't know where the
POSTS informant got his authority from. II
this is the kind OF strength Malone has,
such as the mere published statements Of
outsiders, he won't be hard to beat. There
is no use in trying to take unfair cuts in
this way; such tricks will be exposed. Ger
tainly all that the candidates should ask is
fair dealing. PULASKI.
