Tucker in Bedford.

LIBERTY, October II, 1873.
Editors Dispatch: understand the Ma
hone-repudiation sheet published in your
city recently had an article written from
this place, in which it was represented that
Ran. Tucker was losing ground in Bed
ford, while Patteson is gaining. There
are some publications which never read,
and among them is the Wing. aud hence l
do not know all that was said in the COM
muncation referred to; but do know the
reported weakening OF Tucker in Bedford
is imaginary. Diligent inquiry has deVe'-
oped the fact that there are exactly TWO
Patteson men in this town (none heard OF
in the county)-one OF whom is the CORE.
spondent OF the Whig--a man who recently
came here from where know not to stay |
know mot how long "a man known, l
doubt not, to about one dozen people OF the
county, while he may be known to two
dozen, but this is doubtful 1t is said this
man, with such splendid chances for full
knowledge OF the sentiments OF this peo-
ple, is interested in the publication OF 4
Conservative paper IN this county, and yet
he Joins with the disorganiZerS, who hope
bv buster to break up the party.
The treatment heretofore accorded by the
people of Bedford to independent candl-
dates should serve as Il warning to the great
and independent Camm that his Cdn1nl-
paign in this county cannot result in much
glory to himself nor injury to the White
mau's party which he seeks to disrupt.

BOTETOURT COUNTY.

Ton. J. +. TUCKER on THE CURRENCY AND
OTHER oUEsTIoN S-THE BUCKINGHAM
GREENBACKER on HAND-AN INTERESTING
COCRT.DAY.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dtspa,ch.I
FINCAsTLE, October II, 1878.
There was an outpouring OF the county
to-day to hear Ran. Tucker on the currency
and other questions german to the present
canvass. Captain Camm PattesoD, the
buckingham Greenbacker, was also on
hand. No man ever had 4 stronger hold
on the affections OF 4 people than Ran.
Tucker has on the people OF Botetourt.
His speecn was listened to with intense in-
tercst by crowded courthouse, and his
clucidation OF the true principles OF finance
was finely appreciated. There is always
difficulty in bringing the discussion OF any
question of political economy down 10
the level OF 4 popular audience, but
this was success. It was noble
yindicaton OF righteousness in legislative
action against the decisions and fallaclous
nostrums OF the hour. Amongst the striking
incidents OF the discussion was an over
wheiming retort on Patteson IN regard TO
the tobacco-taX. He had been condemning
Tucker for having done so little towards its
removal as merely to get a reduction from
tWcDtN-lOuI 10 SlAtccil CCHlS. LII us ~
ioindcr, Tucker read several passages from
a letter from Il gentleman from Bucking-
ham, whose name he did not call, highly
appauding his course OH the tobacco-taX.
and then he said: Fellow-citizens. who
do you suppose wrote that letter ~. a pro-
found silence prevailed for moment, when
Ran, with one OF his expressive looks,
turned to poor PatteSoD, and said, AS
Nathan said unto David, thou art the man."
The effect can be imagined.
fuckers platform on finance is that set
forth in his letter to the people OF Bucking-
ham, which was adopted at the Lynchburg
Convention which nominated him: Such
an expansion of the currency as shall be
ADEQUATE to the business OF the country,
kept at all times at par with gold and sal
yer. Patteson is an advanced Green.
hacker, in favor OF issuing S2,000,000, 600 OF
greenbacks without other basis than faith
in the Government.
Mr.. Lewis w. Cabell, OF Buckingham,
after the main discussion, entertained the
crowd with a characteristic discourse on
money without interest and courts without
LAWYERS.
The general opinion seems to be that
Tucker will carry Botetourt by something
like thousand majority.
Captain Patteson seems to be groomed by
James \. Frazier and John B. Lady under
the title Of The Greenback Committee OF
Rockbridge." RUSTICUs.

The Observation-Disclosures Tea-Party at
lexington,


ICorrespondence of the Richmond Dispatch.l
LEXINGTON, October Ia, 1878.
The Martha Washington Tea-Party, held
under the auspices OF Mrs. Randolph
Tucker on the night OF the 18th at the
Virginia Military Institute Mess Hall, in
its success far exceeded the most sanguine
expectations OF its most ardent supporters.
The Mess Hall OF the Virginia Military In-
stitute, which has been the scene OF so many
brilliant and elegant assemblies, never wit
messed one which could excel in the beauty
OF its ladies and the bri!iancy OF their cos
tunes the assembly Of Friday night. The
quaint and unique costumes, the powdered
hair, arranged Ii Pompadour, carried the
imagination back to our grandmothers, and
presented the counterpart of one OF those
scenes which Thackeray has SO charmingly
delineated 10 "The Yirginians."
According to the programme OF the eve
ming, General and Mrs. Washington enter.
ed the ball at O'Clock, the excellent band
OF the Virginia Military Institute, led by
Professor Ritterhouse, playing ..Auld
Lang Syne.o After the different couples
had been presented with all. due form and
ceremony, a promenade followed, which in
due time gave way to the dance. The
dances opened with an oid-iashfoned quad
rifle, and were INDUCED in until supper
was announced. Noticeable among the CO.'S
tunes, that worn by Cadet Lowell, per-
sonating General Washington, was very
handsome, becoming, and complete. He
wore full suit OF regimentals, pow
dered wig, and was considered one OF
the handsomest gentlemen present. Mrs.

made with full court train over pets lcoato
white silk embossed With gold. She wore
q pair OF brilliant earrings formerly be-
longing TO Marie Antoinet tie, and President
Madison's knee-buckIes on her slippers.
The rest OF the COSTUME was In keeping.
One or the most complete and original as
well as beautiful costumes was the one
worn by Miss Edmonla Waddell. &c was
made OF gray and crimson satin, the dress
and all the ornaments being one hundred
and Fifty years old. The Misses Pendleton
also wore very rare and antique costumes,
which were both interesting and amusing.
The young ladies who attracted the
most attention were Misses Rosa John.
ston and Laura Tucker. The former
wore dress OF embroidered India
muslin, short waist, short, plain skirt,
low-neck and long sleeves, was one
OF the quaintest and cutest OF dresses, and
admirably suited TO the lovely, piQuant face
OF the beautiful wearer. The latter wore
white satin, made in the same way, which
winning face, IL that were possible, and
Justly caused herlto be acknowledged by
all as the belle OF the evening. rs
Miss Shields, OF Natchez, Miss Johnston,
Miss Newman, Miss Barclay, Miss Sellers,
the Misses Nelson, Campbell. and Ruffner,
were also, with the rest, appropriately and
handsomely dressed.
The most conspicuous among the gentle
mems costumes were Mr.. HamiPs, Mr..
McTlwee's, Mr.. Jervey's, Mr.. RandalPs, Mr..
Marshalps, Mr.. Sykes's, Mr.. Holladay's-
who, by the way, was considered the hand
soonest gentleman in the room Mr.. Johns
toms and Mr.. Lees, who went probably in
the character Of General Washington's Jes-
ter, as he was in the full costume OF clown.
There were many others worthy OF notice,
but they are too numerous to mention. Att
late hour the jewellers separated to go to their
homes, and long will each one retain in
memory as its most pleasant recollection
the remembrance OF the gaity and pleasure
OF Friday night.
Che proceeds were for the relief Of the
yelow-fever sufferers Of our southern cities.
