Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.]
SEPTEMBER 10, 1878.
Yesterday was our monthly court-Judge
Garnet presiding. But little business was
before the court. and this was dispatched as
promptly as possible to give time to the can
didatcs for Congress, General Beale and
Judge Critcher, both OF whom were pre-
sent. Promptly at II NJ. the discussion be-
tween these gentlemen commenced, General
Brale leading of. Both acquitted them
selves crcditably. The financial question
was the absorbing one al the occasion, and
each promised il electedsto do a great deal
for the people. There was but little differ
cncc between them, and this difference
seemed to consist only in degree. General
Beale promised much, but Judge Critcher
promised great deal more, and il this be
taken as the ground Of merit, certainly
Judge Critchcr occupies the vantage
ground.

pahannock yesterday TO determine what
