NEARLY A RUPTURE IN THE CONGRESS.
London, July l3.-The treaty of
peace contains 90 clauses and is re-
ported to be the longest ever known.
A Berlin dispatch says that during the
discussion relative to the boundaries
of the BayaZid Valley the Russians
suddenly claimed the pass of levin,
the claim, however, was not allowed.
Grave fears again arose on Thursday
night, Count Schouvaloff, during the
discussion of the claims concerning
the Dardannelles, having attempted TO
restrict the Sultan's right of issuing
special permits for the passage of for
eign men-of-war, or calling a foreign
fleet to his aid. Lord Salisbury there
upon declared that England CONSIDER
ed engagements relative to closing Of
the straits limited to an engagement
to respect the sovereign rights of the
Porte in that regard. Prince GOrts-
chakOff showed much anger, but after
wards arranged compromise with
Lord Beaconsfield, by which the status
quo is continued.
\ Berlin special Gays that in Thurs
days sitting of the congress the Rus
sian suggestion for the enactment Of
clause providing for executive meas
ures ID case Turkey delayed carrying
out the treaty, was again rejected
The clause relative to Greece, which |
will oblige Turkey Immediately to |
take her claims into serious cOnsidera- |
ton, and the clause authorizing Aus

budding Fruit Trees.

P. T. Quinn, in Scr,juer, gives
these directions for budding orchard
trees:
The proper time for budding ex-
tends from the middle of July until
the first Of September. Wheucver
the bark separates easily from the
wood the bud may be set with fair
chance Of success. The outfit for
building consists Of some narrow
strips of bass mating. such as comes
on the inside Of coffee bags, and a
pocket-knile with a single blade,
with small piece of ivory fastened
in the end of the handle. When the
incision is made, the ivory is used to
raise the bark up on either side. so
the bud may be pressed into place.
The buds to be inserted should be
cut from young, healthy trees, and
always of the present years growth.
those that are most matured being
selected, The leaves may then be
clipped off the branch of buds, leav
ing say half an inch of the leaf stalk
attached TO the bud. Then, with a
keen-edged knife cut off each bud
separately, from a half to three quar>
tiers of an inch in length, leaving
thin slice of wood back of the eye or
bud. These should be kept moist
and protected from the sun or air
until set; exposure, even for short
time, may prove fatal.
When the whole top, or any part
OF it, is to be budded over, select the
spot for each bud in a smooth part
of the branch, not too large, say
from one to two inches in diameter
On this part make an incision through
the bark in the form of the capital
letter I, and raise or separate the
bark from the wood with the ivory on
the handle Of the knife. The bud
may then be pressed into place. Cut
OF square the portion that goes above
the cross incision. Then. with
strip of the bass mating, wrap firmly
around the branch, above and below
the eye, fastening the end of the strip
by slip knot.

COmmiJteC-TakcS q Turn

Editor Of The Nclrs ::

| Editor Of the NClCS
The place fixed upon for the Con.
! sentative Convention is not the most
/ central or the most convenient of ac.
/ cess, and there would seem to be but
one reason for that selection, which
finds its solution in the character OF
the committee on a subject that will
| necessarily come before the cOnven-
ton. Everything done by those act
ing in representative capacity should
be fair, and in no wise partake of the
nature Of trickery, or giving one
wing of the conservative party all
advantage over the other. It is hoped
the place will yet be changed to Ma
riOn or Abingdon, either of which Is
more central than Wytheville.
Now, Mr.. Editor, as 'readiustmeDt'
is to be a vital issue in the canvass,
and the convention in its selection of
a candidate must nominate a 'read-
juster' or a 'funder,' the people, in APP
pointing delegates, may, if they see
fit, designate their choice. The recent
discussion at Dublin, between Sena-
tors FulkersOn and Phleagar, shows
the vital character of the issue at
stake and it plainly appears from the
published speech of Mr.. Phleagar that
no one holding his views should be
elected to Congress. Not content with
virtually arraigning the Auditor as de-
relict in his duty for not paying full
interest on the public debt when the
revenue is sufficient as he asserts for
the purpose, Mr.. Phleagar holds az
terrOrcn3 over the heads of the people
United States Supreme Court man
ddBUS to compel Virginia to carry out
what nearly every honest man in
Virginia denOunCes as an unwise, I'M
just and iniquitOus legislative enact
ment-an enactment which, with its
kindred one enacted in 1S66-67, has
doubled the interest bearing debt of
Virginia If Mr.. Phleagar and those
thinking as he does are right, honor
requires US to pay twelve per cent. in
terest on the money we originally re-
ceived on loans from the bondholder.
1t may be that Congress can have no
direct control over the subject of our
State debt, but every Statesrights man
desires that our State shall be free to
control its own financial affairs as its
people may see fit, and, therefore, in
selecting a Congressman, we should
take one who agrees with the MAORI
~ of the people in their views of the
power and duty o. Congress in its
affecting the States and
their power over their own financial

The Richmond Dispatch of the
18th says:
In the Ninth district, the Conserv-
atives will probably have TO elect a
readjuster or nobody. Z, en- Mr..
PHLEAGAR-honest. caralle, and
faithful public servant that he is
even he is readjuster. If the Con-
sentative Convention in that district
were to nominate man because he IS
a debt-payer, he would certainly be
defeated. The voters there might be
willing to elect a man with out requir-
ing him to commit himself upon the
question. They might refuse to sup,
port FULKEEsoN, or MCMULLIN, or
aLy other bolter, if the regular can
didate were nominated as a Conserv
alive. But they would resent the
effort to compel them TO vote for a
debt-payer.
The reference TO Mr.. PHLEAGAR
reminds us Of the difficulty of draws
ing any line between debt-payers
and readjusters. There are thousands
of just such readjusters as Mr..
PHLEAGAR, Who would refuse to
support him.
The idea of trying Phlegar
AGAIN for readiuster is rich
The idea Of the difficulty of draw
ing any line between "debt>payers"
and readjusters is richer, The two
remind one of the Holiday dream.

WILL TAZEWELL REBEL

Tie Clinch Valley News says
"the District meetings onght first
to decide whether they want a
Convention In taking this course
the News appeals from the party
law, as promulgated by the party in
Grand State Convention assem-
bled. To follow the News in this
advice, is to refuse obedience to
the party mandate. 1t is to dis
organize the party. Its mouth is
by this course forever stopped
from any arraignment of the Alb
ingdon Caucus" which made
everything subordinate TO party
law. The News further ventures
to predict that a NOMINATION will
prove the omen of defeat. When
IN 1872 Gen. Bowen, of Tazewell
was nominated, no member of the
party press used any such lam
guage, and Gen. Bowen was elect
ed by rousing vote, By means
OF party discipline, Tazewell was
allowed to furnish the member of
Congress, a thing which could not
have been done, but for the Con-
vention system. Let Tazewell now
in 1878, be the last county to bolt
the party organization. She would
cut a fancy figure, to arraign the
Abingdon Caucus for acting in
side the party, and then with her
tail in the air, to gallop outside
the party organization, and set up
a rebellion Of her own.
We bet Tazcwcll will do no such
thing.

4 Political Surprise.
REVELATIONS PROMISED BY TIE DEM
OCRATIC INVESTIGATORS.

Washington Special to tho New York Ora. hc.
The Democrats here are elated over
the results of the Potter Investigating
| Committee so far as they have been
| developed. But they say that some
| far more startling disclosures are yet
to be made, involving President Hayes
J himself. They claim to lie in possess
! sion of every telegram sent to Louis
| lana during the count of the electoral
vote of that State, and it is limited that
| one of these messages, addressed to a
| certain member of Congress, is from
! a very high source indeed, and that it
urges upon him that the vote of Lou
| isiana must be secured at any sacrifice
and cost. There are said to be other in
eliminating kilograms from prominent
Republicans, but this particular one,
it is believed, will be most damaging
and conclusive. The idea of the man
ayers of the investigation is to show
that dubious work was going on in
Louisiana concerning the count, and
then to produce this telegram which
will implicate no less person than
Rutherford Is. Hayes. The Republi-
cans deny that any such dispatches
exist, and will claim, if they are pro-
duced, that they are forgeries; but
enough is known to show that there
is yet startling surprise in store for
the country. Eliza Pinkston's story
is yet to be told in full. She will swear
that certain distinguished Republicans
caused her to reherse her part before
them and coached her in the relation
of her pathetic fable. But it is also
said that the investigation has not been
well managed by the Democrats. This
is conceded here. 1t is believed by
certain Democrats that the famous
Sherman letter was in Mrs. jerks
possession when she reached Washing
ton that she sold it, and that she has
deliberately peTjured herself by swear
ing that she was the writer of it,
Leading Democrats do not regard the
investigation with favor, or scarcely
with patience. They believe that the
whole affair was instigated from New
York, and that the purpose of it is to
make the cry of fraud the sole shibbo-
leth for the campaign of 1880, and to
force the denomination of Mr.. Tilden.
