Correspondence Of the Richmond DispatchI
July 16, 1878.
There was a large and very boistcrouS
;nrc,jn~ Of the rcAdiustcrs OF Rockingham
county held here yesterday. The object
Of the meeting seemed 10 be to enter the
protest Of this now strong element OF the
Conservative party against the sendlnS OF
delegates 10 the Staunton convention,
which meets on the lSt OF August. The
meeting was not 1T I'LL harmonious, ana
frequently reminded one Of an OK
citing session Of the United states Congress,
when the antag0niSms OF that august D0dy
collide and knock their heads together. The
meeting was addressed by our State senator,
CAPTAIN John Paul, in opposition TO the
Staunton Convention. and by Hon. John L.
Harris and Colonel &. r. Barbee in favor
Of the Convention. The meeting decided
against the Convention by very large ma
iority. and passed resolutions utterly con-
dcmning il aS unnecessary. There was en-
tire unanimitv as far rs the question OF re-
adjustment OF the State debtwa concerned,
all the speakers announcing that they were
rcadi,lstcrs. In answer to the direct ques-
ton put to Judge Harris: care you q re-
adirster.' he instantly and unheSitatlnSly
answered: " am. IN The COOL"
The crop OF wheat just gathered in Rock
ingham is superb. The crop is very large,
and the quality superior. 1t is being hur-
ricd into market by our farmers to meet
their obligations.

General Garfield OH Communism.

IIntervicw with reporter Of Cleveland HERALD
O. 1--WE have been talking OF the old
parties, but what of the new? What do
YOU apprchend from this scmi-communistlc
movement that has broken out in the East
under the name OF the Greenback party,
and in other sections rs Nationals or Labor
Reformers? Is it going to be formidable!
A. ''It reminds me Of an incident in the
Granger excitement. An old farmer VINO
had joined the Granger party, and who was
enthusiastic over its prospects, SAID TO me:
| Wait till we find out what we want to GO,
and you'll see what a row we can make.
II the communists knew exactly what they
wanted, they would be much more danger
Gus. A great share OF their agitation comes
from n discomfort that is not formulated into
distinct demand for political action can
see in the near future, however, time When
increasing population and decreasing oppor-
tunity for acquiring property will bring
about old world conditions here and old
world agitations. AS long as communls-
tic movements are confined to cities they
will not be dangerous, for they are
no new thing; in fact, they are ms old as
cities themselves. But our farming popula-
ton is undergoing great change. Inc
older generation now passing away found
opportunities in a new country ana on
virgin soil to acquire farms by their own
unaided labor and economies. Their sons
find no such opportunities. How long
would it take Il young man with nothing but
his own hands TO earn enough to Duv I
farm on the Reserve? He could not do it III
a lifetime il he married and had family.
He would live and die a hired laborer.
Now the young men are educated TO
ideas OF independence and comfort. Their
fathers were country gentlemen, with good
houses, pianos, books, and horses to drive.
They want to be gentlemen, too. but the
paternal acres will not support them alt;
and If the force OF circumstances pushes
them down to the condition OF European
peasants they will make powerful resist
ance. and their protest will work out in po-
litical action.'
O. Communism pure and simple
which means an assault upon property ana
a demand for division-you do not think
dangerous?"
A. emo; because the men who have
something will always outnumbef the men
who have nothing"
@. eyes, but the men who hold Govern.
ment bonds are in small minority, ana
there is evidently danger OF the sort OF COM
munism that would rob them OF part or
the whole OF their property lnVestedl IN ponas
for the supposed benefit OF the non-bond-
holders. This is what the Greenbackers
mean to do"
A. "That is a real danger" replied the
General. land tue Republican party should
not parley or temperate with them. Ihe
greenback movement, aiming as it does az
imitation and Reputation, should be Sharply
assailed By the whole force OF the Repub'l-
can orraniZafionI OurS is party OF con.

To satisfy the natural curiosity OF our
readers regarding the present condition OF
that noisy centre known as. Bald Mountain
reporter has been ploring it. inside md
out, for the purpose Of discovering II posi-
BILE the sources OF the sounds and noting
the changes their cause has wrought on the
surface. We print this morning The result
OF the exploration, which affords some inl-
portant and interesting information regard
ing the scene Of an undoubted subterrhnean,
though not necessarily volcanic disturbance.
The structure of the Bald Mountain is mainly
OF unstratihed igneous rock, granite, or
gneiss, doubtless containing sufficient adj
mixture OF oXidiZable mineral matter,
which, when reached by the percolating
waters and by the air, Is acted on cbemi-
c4lIy and with the result OF disintegratlng
the rock. This decay, which has been
termed s.nalddie du grant," Is known
to affect the granite rocks Of the region in
which the rumbling mountain stands to
great depths. A process OF what may.
be termed decay, operating through count
less centuries, has probably caused the
gradual formation OF many caverns in
The mountain sides. These, admitting
more or less free flow Of air and water to
the interior surfaces, continually increase
in size, and with that effect the progress OF
decay becomes more rapid. The enlarge
ment OF the caverns eventually reaches that
stage where the natural walls OF rock that
separate them become too weak to support
the superincumbent masses. FRAGMENTS
become detached from the roofs and
fall laundering through the resoundlnS
SPACES excavated by chemical action, and
send vibrations and terrifying sounds into
the outer air to scare the residents on the
mountain sides. Finally, when the dlvl-
sions between the caverns melt away, as 1t
were, the unsupported mass overhead slides
from its bed or by its disturbance forms the
cracks and assures noticed in many places
on the surface. We do not believe that Bald
Mountain will ever develop into an active
volcano, but it will probably continue TO
give out rumblings as of old to puzzle fll-
ture generations in Mcdowell county, N.
C.-Heratd.

which is test one, is to recover from eX-
Governor William Smith, OF Virginia, $500
in gold which had been paid out to Smith
