There was of course but slight gathering
at the Park yesterday, except those who were
employees of the Fair. The rain in the after
noon also materially affected the attendance
at the races. Today however, there will be a
large crowd present, for the hotels are full of
strangers, and the late trains were bringing in
more last night. A fine day will prove great
advantage. The horse cars run frequently to
the grounds, and there are plenty of omnibuses
and open carriages to furnish additional accom-
mediation.
There are 375 entries, so far of cattle, divided
into 10 Jerseys, one herd Shorthorns, two Of
Ayrshires, one of Holsteins, one of Herefords,
several of Duriams and grades. The prnc-
pal exhibitors are George Blanchard &
Brother, Cumberland; c. p. Mattocks, Esq,

Last year the Society was favored with superb
weather. Yesterday was lowery, and, at times,
there were spits of rain. We shall devote our
selves to-day to a general view of the fair, and
afterwards we shall go more into details.
There was a very good attendance for the first

VIRGINIA REPUTATION.

ENOUGH said, The WASHINGTON REPUBLI-
CAN warmly opposes the Re-Adjusters, warmly
supports the Funders, and warmly exhorts the
coiored voters to stand by the Brokers' Bill.
The Brokers have let slip their dogs in all
directions-and they are barking from North,
South, East and West. None but sheep are
afraid of that breed however.-Richmond Wig.
Our Richmond cotemporary does not
mistake or mistate the position of THE
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN in regard to the
payment of the Virginia State debt. 1t is
opposed to reputation, for that is rank dis
honesty. 1t is opposed to re-adjusting the
debt upon any basis other than its full pay
ment, for that is compounding with
rascality. 1t believes that Virginia honestly
owes its State debt, and should faithfully
pay it, principal and interest at the earliest
practicable moment. Virginia is State of
vast resources and great expectations, and
cannot afford now to evade its honorable
indebtedness Its broad and fertile acres,
its navigable rivers and canals its
commercial interests and advantages, its
extending railroad communications, its
mineral resources, and its manufacturing in
terests are its estate, from which it can
draw the means for paying its State obliga-
tions. If it repudiates it forfeits confidence
and respect, and ruins its individual and
public credit, for they hang upon the event
of this State debt question. If the State
repudiates, it will be because the people so
determine, and an individual is not ex-
pected to be any more honest in his private
enterprises than he is in his relations to the
public integrity. For this reason repudia-
tion will prove death blow to private
credit, and the enterprises of the people
will find no confidence with its fostering
hand to aid and build up enterprise and de-
yelop the resources of the domain.
The people cannot afford to repudiate,
for it will bring general con demnation upon
them, as well as upon succeeding genera
tions and be q blight upon public and pri-
vate credit more disastrous than that which
came of the war, for it will stamp the Com
monwealth and the people with the brand
of Aagrant dishonesty. 1t was an unfortu-
nate day when the thought of reputation
in whole or in part was entertained by the
people of Virginia. 1t has intrinsic wealth
that can be developed by industry and en-
terprise to an extent that will in time pay
its State debt, principal and interest, 1t
should therefore be honest from the word
90, and fund its debt on such time and at
such interest as will float its bonds on the
market, and thus vindicate the honor of
the State and its people Then let it bury
its political hates, put on the harness of
enterprise and industry, secure confidence,
credit and good fellowship for its people,
and sef-respect prosperity and happiness

A CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRAT" writes to
us from South Carolina to know, you know,
how it is that WADE HAMPTON enjoys the
reputation of having been q great soldier
during the late war? He says HAMPTON
never won victory, never planned cam
paign, and, in short, never amounted to any
thing more than a mere instrument in the
hands of his superior officers. We confess
our inability to give q satisfactory answer
to this query. But we add that HAMPTON
is hero, nevertheless, and q great, very
great, hero at that, for the Yankee Mudsills
and Gushing Conciliators of the North have
so proclaimed it, Joining in the adulation
bestowed upon him by his Southern follow
ers, they have succeeded in canonizing him,
politically speaking, and he is now one of
the most loolied-for and most talked-of men
in the United States Senate. But, for all
this, story comes to us that he once failed
to wipe out in blood" according to the
rules of the Chivalry an insult offered to q
dependant member Of his family. Perhaps
if his life were to be written up in the light
of intimate knowledge of all the details Of
his somewhat varied career, he would moi
be hero after all.
