weipYinty the proceedings et; the .meetilngs
held IN the different mag stertaI districts OF
thfs:eoupty on list Saturday = While only
the delegates Of one district are instructed
to vote iorh General Terry for Governor, It
i. believed that hef will receive the solid
vote Of the. County SO long as his name IS
before theN Gonveh tioh.t.2 AS to, the second
choice OF our delegates, itiseernsfo be divided
between! Holiday and Daniel LIN our opln-
ion; eight for Holiiday and foHf for Daniel.
I An effort was made iii each. district to get
Malone delegates. Ca tain McCauit Worked
hard to that end, He came here several
weeks ago and visited different sections Of
the county Id the interest Of the General, and
again returned a few days before the meet
ings we're held He had a nice little JOB
fixed itp... he not only worked to get In as o
delegate from this district, but he wanted TO
be Il alternate from each OF the other dls-
tricts. he failed to eetin asa. delegate here,
but blythe magnanin1ity Of tile Terry. men I
he!was elected as an alternate for Major y.
c.. Green; but the Major will attend the
Convention, and the Captain will not get IN:
He was also made ian alternate 1or one OF
the Cave Spring delegates, but the lnstruc;
lions given by that meeting will prevent eS,l1l,
him from casting his vote for Mahone SO
long Us Terry OF. Daniel are In the race.
We learn, though, that both OF the cave
Spring delegates will attend therefore re,
we do not stink that General Malone VIII VII
geta vote from Roanoke. iH :,
In our meeting here there were only nye
outspoken Mah0nei men; three, Of whom nom
held positions utder him whe1, 'he;;W pre-.
sident of the Atlantic Mississippi and Oh l
Railroad Company; at Cave spring tneFe
was one Malone man at the meeting; at Big
Lick four; CataWbai nune-so we are IN
formed We do not believe there are a;d9 G 7!
Nlahonesmen in the county: therefore 1T
would be wrong for the delegates to, vote
for him !: Tor men do not go. to cont entions
to select their individual preferences, but
to represent the people that, send them.
From the character Of the delegates selected

The people OF Roanoke never selected q
better delegation to represent them, in Con-
yention than was selected last Saturday.

ESSEX COUNTY ives see from the; Rich
mond papers that bali the; delegation from
this county is claimed. for. General Malone.
If this is the. way; the, Generals friends
cotint they will find him much farther be-
hind in the Convention than they now: sup
pose. There IS but. one. Malone man, on
the delegation, representing one seventh OF
the vote, which is. a. far larger propo ton
than Malone Is, entitled to. in the county so
far as we are acquainted with public .senti-
ment. The delegation stands, as we are adj
viSed, three for, Daniel, one for Fitzhugh
Lee, one for William a., F., Lee, one for
AIahohe, and one for, Beverley as first
choice. The delegate whose first choice is
William 81. f. Lee is for Beverley second.
Beverley is also second choice OF some OF
the Daniel delegates. .g.t.,!,.-.
Richmond county sends one delegate for
Beverley, one for Taliaferro, and one for
Mahone. OF the, preferences, Of the other
two we are not advised Isdeacdter Essen
