EVENT and COMMENT.

Gen. Jos. E. Johnston was nomina-
ted last Wednesday for Congress fronl
the Richmond Dist. The contest was
long and close. Col Jno. 3. Young
and Mr. Winston of Louisa. a brother
of Prof. Winston, of this town, were
his principal competitors.
The State says the Lynchburg- Jno.
w. Daniel platform resolutions are "a
condensation Of all the wild Earum-
<carum theories now afoat in the
country, and by which the people are
being deluded." If the State goes
back thus quickly on ''little JOHNNY
how long before it may turn on Hol-
liday?

Is TIL @ Barbour Gill a Good
Teste of a ReadjusteT now
as it was last Winter?

Those who are disposed 20 boot
down the PARTY nominee by de-
claring him to be a Funder, should
reflect that CO... Richmond is a
firm and unqualified supporter of
the Barbour Bill. The following
extracts bear on the point:
Col. James B. Richmond, of Scott
county, has been nominated for Con-
gress by the Wytheville Conservative
Convention. This is an unacknowl-
edged defeat of Forcible Re adjust
ment in the ninth District. -HUrj-
SGnJuq Commonwealth.
Is that so -? What do you call
Forcible Re adjuster? 1t has been
said that those who favor the BAR
BoUR bill' are "Forcibles." II this
be so, then Col. RICHMOND is a For
chile Re>adjuster. We can stand all
such defeats. We would like to be
defeated for Governor that way

colonel Richmond.

From the interview published in
this issue it will be seen that the
views Of Col. Richmond are substan-
italy those of a majority of the peo-
Pile. We have little doubt that the
nominee will make himself accepta>
BILE to the Conservatives of the Dis
trict. We bespeak for him a candid
hearing. Clinch Val'eg Ne,cS.

This County has at all times and

Richmond Is the nominee Of a
FRAUD and q doubtful one of that,
as EdmOndsOn's friends declared that
there were many in the Convention
who would swear he was not fairly
nominated.
Mistake. Mr.. McCaull said
such would be the case unless the
ballot was corrected. 1t was cor
rected and then Mr.. Nc Caull, on
behalf of the Roanoke delegation,
said he was satisfied.

Our exchanges bring the most
alarming, and terribly distressing
accounts of the ravages of the YELL
low Fever. At New Orleans, Vicks>

situation is truly appalling, whole
families are swept out of the world.
The dead sometimes lie unburried
for days at Grenada. All the tele-
graph operators and Post Masters and

communication is cut off at present.

The WythevlIIe ENTERPRTsE says
in speaking of the action Of the
Bristol Greenback club:
1t will be seen that the Greenback-
ers in that locality have very wisely
concluded that they can get all the
Greenbacks they need within the pale
of the Conservative Democratic party.
That's right, frierds, don't go hack on
your party, and take up with some
new thing of doubtful paternity. Stick
together and be rei dy to cast the vote
of the "Solid South" against both
Grant and Butler in 1880. That is the
only hope of the country.

Since Gov. McMullin in his letter
says 1--WE can pay twenty-nine or
thirty milliOns"-whichs sum is lit
tie more than the Funders themselves
admit we owe, Or that they are willing
to pay-hOw can the Governor claim
to be "readjuster ?"
Again, the Governor having con-
tracted with a Eerson to whom he lent
money for tWeipe per cent interest,
how can he consistently advocate a
four per cent rate for the public credi-
tor, only third the rate his bonds
bear?
Further, the Governor, being an
old time democrat, how can he favor
the issue of eight hundred millions of
green backs by the Government, un-
less there shall be eight hundred mil
lions of specie in the National Treas
ury to redeem the notes with ?
Moreover as the Governor says "we
do not owe the debt. and, if we did,
we cannot pay it," why in the name
of reason does he say I'VE can pay
twenty nine or thirty millions, when
thae sum is rather more than the
bondholder's claim ?
Another question. Governor If the
Convention was bogus one" and
there is mo nominee" as papers
friendly to you contend, is not Col.
Richmond an independent" candi-
date-as much so as you are ? If so,
have you any advantage of him on
that score? One more question, Gov.
Did hot the State Convention, of
which you was member. declare
that "nU Independents are to he treat
ed as Radicals" 10y the Conservative
voters OF the SIate
When these questions are satisfactO-
rily answered others will be propoun-
ded. No "dodging." if you please.

OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN.

That the Hon. B. +. NJ artin will be his
own successor as the Representative in the
lower House of Congress from the second
district of West Virginia, is almost beyond
TeradventuIe. All the indications point al
most unerringly to his unanimous re- nomi-
nation By the Democratic- Conservative Com
vention, and with that his election is assured
Mr.. Martin has proven himself an untiring
and able representative, leaving nothing un-
done by which he could serve his constit-
uents, and is deservcdy popular throughout
the district. We hope, however, that the
general sentiment in favor of Mr.. Martin
will not cause such apathy in the selection of
delegates to the convention, as to give an
opportunity to wire. workers to capture the
convention in other interests. We do not
know that such an idea is entertained by any
one, but such things are possible, and it is
we'll enough to be equally as careful as if tho
matter were the subject of heated public
contest
