Editors Dispatch: Yesterday was county
court-day here. The attendance was rather
slim. but considerable interest was mani
tested In the gubernatorial question. Friends
Of the various candidates were quite active,
and I was much pleased to SEQ that the
friends of General Taliaferro were very
earnest in his behalf, and from what could
see and hear the principal division in senti-
ment is between General Taliaferro and
Major Daniel, and the delegation from the
county will be divided between those two,
with majority for General Taliaterro.
Many OF the citizens Of this county were
under General Taliaferro's command du-
| ring the war, and entertain high apprecia-
lion of him not only as soldier and COM
mander, but also as useful citizen and
heightened gentleman !; and II a; full ex-
preston OF their wishes and the wishes OF
their friends can ibe obtained I have no
doubt the entire delegation Of the county
will be in his favor, ~
The weather is very warm and there is
much need of rain. MARD1.
,-, LOUISA, July 8, 1877.
Editors Dispatch: A card appeared on
Saturday last in your paper over the name
OF s'Justice," from this county, in effect
stating that the first choice OF the people OF
the lower end Of this county would be
for Daniel or Holiday for Governor.
/ think there is no doubt that that
portion OF the county will be almost
a unit for General Taliaferro for, that
efice. Three companies OF his cid regi-
ment (Twenty-thirdl went from Louisa,
and I have no doubt that the survivors OF
those companies and their relatives and
friends are to man in favor OF General
Taiaferro-the man who led the boys In
gray in many a hard-fought battle to vic
tory. It will be remembered by those who
are correctly informed that General Talia-
ferro commanded during the late war at
least five hundred men from this county.
The survivors Of this number will give him
their cordial support and influence. These
boys OF his, with their relatives and friends
and their influence, would, beyonda doubt,
give him a large majority Of the votes OF
this county, which would entitle him to the
entire delegation from Louisa. am in hopes
that our delegates will consider this.
The same card also, in effect, stated that
the lower end OF this county was almost a
unit for Mr. Herndon for the Senate ofrVir-
ginia. Now. venture to say that there is
but one man in this end OF the county who
is in favor OF Mr.. Herndon as against Cap
tain Murray, and that is the writer OF the
card referred to. I am sure that Captain
Murray is the choice OF the people not only
Of the lower end, but OF the whole county,
and it has been, the earnest desire OF the
citizens of Louisa for some time to place
him in position to serve their interest,
knowing bis ability to do so, and your cor
respondent feels safe in stating that there
is no man in this district who would prove
a more faithful servant to. our good old
Commonwealth, and hope when the dele
gates are assembled to select candidate to
represent us they will see and feel that Old
Louisa is entitled to- the man, and will find
in Captain Murray one in whom we all can
trust, and in whose hands our interest Will
be ably represented. "a -
think know "Justice" to be a good
man-one who would not Intentionally mis-
represent us--and believe he would not have
written his card had he informed himself
better as to the wishes Of the people Of this
county. = FREDERICKSHALL.
