OF Tuesday, 18th December, 1877:
~ '.s' '.' y" A MISTAKE.
In relation to the resolution about Inde-
pendents said to have been adopted by the
State Committee on motion OF A1r. q. T.
Smith, Mr.. Hinton declared that it was his
belief that no such resolution was passed by
the State Committee. He thought that there
was a mistake about it. There was such a
resolution introduced he knew, but it was
his impression that it passed in a modified
form, advising the Conservatives to vote for
the nominees. In questioning the adoption
Of the resolution be did not wish to be I'm.

Bell Bigger. .... ..t F., .-a@.
John Bell Bigger, Esq, Secretary State Gen
traL Conservative Committee: u...-
Dear Sir,-At the suggestion OF Judge
Lowell, chairman, and Senator Smith, as to
my impression that the resolution in regard
to Independents, offered by Mr.. Smith at
the meeting OF the State Central Conserva-
tive Committee in October last, did not pass,
I have to-day carefully examined the re-
cords and papers bearing on the subject,
and find that the resolution was adopted.
Your record OF that meeting is correctly
made, and my recollection Of the matter
proves to be inaccurate.
Respectfully, WILLIAM +. HINTON, JR.
Richmond, December Is, 1877. -.
The following is the resolution agreed to
by the State Central Conservative Commit
tee OIL Tuesday, October %, 1871:
RESOLVED, That the party throughout the
State is earnestly called upon to support all
regular nominees-State, district, city, and
county-and that all Independent candi-
dates should be discountenanced in this
canvass and refused any recognition by the
party during the term OF office for which
they may be elected, and that oil such per.
sons be remembered and treated as disor.
ganizers by the Conservative party unit
they shall have proved by their acts pur
pose to return to their party. allegiance.

The Tue ARcrIC.-Another unsuccessful
attempt was made on yesterday morning at
low tide TO pump out the sunken tug-boat
Arctic. Two OF the city fre-engines-B
and ,C-together with two pcnderous
pumps, were, put to work, and although it
is estim ;,ed that the four streams together
were 6 'harging about twelve hundred
gallons per minute, it soon became evident
that they were not gaining on the water in
the vessel, and there was apparently some
hole that the diver had failed TO discover
and stop. This plan OF raising the Arctic
was then abandoned. Captain Letter left
for Norfolk yesterday afternoon to make an
arrangement with the Baker Wrecking
Company to raise the tug. This was the
second effort the city steamers made to
raise the Arctic.
