Whereas the adjustment OF the public

opinions have been expressed on this sub
iect inimical, rs we think, to the best inter-
csts Of the State; and believing that the
time has come when the people OF every
section OF the State should express their
opinion therefore be it .o,"'
ReSolued by the citizens Of Bath county in
Injecting assembled, 4. That, recog-
nizing the obligation Of the State to her
creditors, and having every disposition to
meet our fair proportional whatever bur-
den the State may assume, we will not coun-
reputation in any guise whatever.
.. That while the people everywhere feel
burdened by the public debt, yet if a COM
promise is affected the proposition OF com
promise must come from the creditors Of the
State. c. c. Francisco, Chairman.
William 5. Hammond, Secretary.

evening on the railroad strikes that pre-
vailed throughout the country during last

JULY so, 1877.
The meetings OF Saturday exhibit 4 good
deal of interest. In Beverly Manor, the
district surrounding the city, the fight was
hottest, and the scene in the courthouse
wa quite noisy. The howline over the de-
feat Of Malone was terrific when the vote
was announced. In the ward meetings the
oppositinn ticket was defeated so over
wbclmngly that it could hardly be called a
fight. In the list | send below the two
wards Of Stanton and the first
four districts OF the county send
solid Holiday delegations. The other two
di>tricts-Sorth River aud Middle River
sent opposition tickets, but the Holiday
men claim three out OF the number.

CLOVER DEPOT, July 30, 1877.
This morning about O'Clock it was
reported that Jim Dunkley (colored),
who. being engaged in cleaning out the well
on the premises OF w. II. Heidelberg, OF
this place, went down into the well, ana
while at the bottom had been overwhelmed
by the falling wall. On investigation, how
ever, it was found that the descent OF the
falling rocks had been arrested by the
bucket, which was suspended some eight
feet above him, thus shielding him entirely.
Bv extraordinary effort the rubbish, which
held, was removed to an extent to admit OF
his exit, which was effected in about two
hours after the caving in. His escape from
injury and death itself appears truly won

the panic which prevails at Pra is probably

his position more secure. 1t is feared he
