Yesterday was q very lively day in poll
Tics at Dinwiddie Courthouse. Quite large
crowd was present, representing both colors
and all shades Of opinion. An effort was
made ty the Conservatives to secure q dirts-
Jon Of tine With the ReSdiusters and have
ajoint discussion CT the debt question, but
the latter declined unless on terms that gave
them unlimited time and all advantage. I'm
able TO come 10 any agreement, the parties
divided and held separate meetings, As also
did the cOlored people. There was then
presented the singular spectacle OF four
political meetings ar the SaDe time on the
court.hou,e green. Colonel William i. Bur-
well. Of Richmond, addressed meeting
in ,oat Of the courthouse. At the same
tine DR.. r. NJ. Anderson spoke to the Re-

SAME yard and from any one point the
voices OF The speakers at all the meetings
could be heard. at q later hour General
Malone spoke in the courthouse.

evening large company of ladies and gen
llcmen would have gone down from Peters

baylng desire to visit their old bone, as
VEIL US see the country. they undertook the
walk aud accomplished it in four days.
