ROCKINGHAM,

We like judge G. II. O'FERRALT, OF Rock
incham. He is an outright and upright man,
whom you always know where to ind. lie
has no coucealments, no lodges. lie is true
BY inheritance. This writer knew his fall her
in the better days Of the Commonwealth.
His word was as good as his bond. 1t was
the fashion in the day in which he llVed.
How delightful it was to have dealings win
those men. But those men VINO TOO olten
appear in these times, how can you get along
with them? You don't know whether they
will continue OF one mind twenty-1our
hours. You may bid them goodbye as
Debt-payers. and you may hail thcm an hour
afterwards as Regulators. You may part
with them as Christians, and you encounter
them next morning as Turks, or as be-
levers in nothing but thimble-rig%lng"
for really that rises to the hlSh-Water marx
in the minds OF men whose whole life Is de-
voted to lodging and thmble-rlggin&.
Judge O'FERRALL is open, frank, ana
true. He had yielded to the good people
who have faith in him, and has consented
to surrender hi, position for their eratlllca-
ton. He has proved his readiness to sacrl-
flee bis life for the public honor, and he
now shows how prompt he is to make any
further sacrifice in his power to guard the
state and promote the public happiness.
We like the idea that is cherished in
Rockingham OF looking to the noble genera
ton of the past and taking descendant
of those who were never known to de-
ceive anybody and never concerned in any
plot that put personal considerations above
the welfare OF the State. This is glorious.
Let us hope that in the process OF that re-
covery OF Virginia FROM her recent down
ward way Judge O'FERRALL will be trl-
umphautly elected.

On Saturday ROBERT 4. CoGHiLL "a'
ominated BY the people Of Amherst TOT re-
election to the House OF Delegates os q
majority Of five hundred and twensS-'ou,
ovcr his connection. Mr.. CoGBILL MUS.
have. gotten nearly the whole vote poiieo
nm The occasion. This is most agreeao'e
news. It had been reported here upon
very reliable authority that bis nomina'ion
was matter decidedly In danger; ihe'e
fore the result is not without some oess'ee
~ surnrise as well as very satisfactory.
Now. then, taking this event-tbe uncer-
,,in,v that at one time was expressed y!
res pectable gentlemen and<the ,remarkaole
unanimity that was finally deVe'opeu-a'e
u,n NOT justified in inferring that the CIR
o,mstance il a strong indication OF 'ha'
sound and wise public sentiment "hicn Is
,,o,er,, in Virginia? We see no reason why
Amherst should be regarded ms an eAcep-
,ional county. There are the same SORT VI
nconle in Amherst that there are IN camp
ho,I and Nelson and Fluvanna and AIDE
marie. The people OF Amherst are an
honest anu
pin;ans, but not peculiarly different
from those of the counties named.
They may lie little more of the noun
fans than those Of Campbell and Fiuvanna
and ~ q part OF AIbemarle, but not much
more so. Certainly We look upon tue result
IN Amherst as assisting not little to enllsht-
on Us about public sentiment in Virginia.
The people will assuredly decide in FAVOR Oh
the "peace settlement and the preserVa.
ton of order and The encouragement VI
prosperity in our dear old Commonwealth.
Nevertheless there can be no excuse TOT
moderating our Jealous struggle for the de-
fence and vindication OF Virginia. we
must win permanent peace and estaol'sn
the right OF Virginia to govern herself, and
rescue her from the usurping power OF the
most destructive, deceitful, and dishonest
body Of men that ever combined to war upon
the public peace and welfare.

The Petersburg Meeting.

! PETERSBURG, september ~, ISi
Editors Richmond Dispatch:
Your correspondent from this place as
serts that the Regulators had the majority
at the mass. meeting of the Republicans here
last Friday night at the commencement OF
| the meeting. l presume he leans TO this
| opinion owing 10 the fact that that SIDE sue
ceeded in getting the chairman. The meet
ing was called by 4 friend or the McCul-
| loch bill without conference with single
soul. The writer prcsuming he (the callcr)
knew enough TO attend to the matter OF
chairman, paid no attention to il. Their
having a chairman is the fault of no one
but the writer. We had majority OF the
meeting from the beginning to the end.
And we hereby challenge them to meet us
at any time in mass-mecting assembled
| in Petersburg. with the Republicans, in 4
| discussion Of the merits OF the respective
resolutions. The first speaker on our size
| referred 10 secret meetings that bad been
held between men who had been leading
Conservatives and some leading Republi-
cans, at which meetings promises were
made by the Regulators that il the Rcpub-
licans would act with them in this campaign
it would be very beneficial to their party.
As yet the entire benefit don'tappcar. Some
say it is to divide city offices with them !;
others, that they promise fair count in the
spring. What that means am at loss to
understand. TO some it implies the turn
ing over Of the city entirely TO bad hands.
This you need have no fear OF as long as 5.
W. Venable. Esq, protects the intelligence
and property-holders OF this city. We feel
perfectly safe as regards the scEemlng Re
pudiators.
A few words about the ending or the
mass.meeting. Captain Hill offered Il set OF
repudiating resolutions, and put in mine
as substitute. The house Eanifesting such
decided preference for mine some one
made motion to adjourn. Chairman ad-
iourned the neutrality-suspicious. without
ever putting the motion. Heand every man
there knows it was retreat, leaving bag
and baggage on the field.

A letter from Hon. ]. b. RICHMOND IL
support of the MCCULLocH-bill settlement
appears in the Pearsburg Virginldn, ad"
dressed to JouS S. CROCKETT, Esq, Wythe-
vile. He says:
lam certainly favorable to its adoption,
and would counsel acquiescence in and sub
mission to its provisions"
He then gives the figures to show that
the bill will be successful in its operation
He closes as follows:
~ have always opposed the funding bill
of 1871, and as 40 independent proposition
would oppose the Mcf'ulIoch bill, but as
substitute for the act OF 1871, and as the
only way out OF the difficulties created by
that act, I have openly declared in favor OF
the McCuIloch bill, and shall do what can

ton, and comprehensive judgment. 1t is
matter OF interest to US that he nominated
TRAVIS DANIEL for reelection to the office
of Attorney General at the Gubernatorial
Convention OF III, when Governor HOLLI.
DAY was nominated. Mr. DANDRIDGE's
speech on that occasion was remarkable for
the talent and elegance OF style it displayed.
His graceful commentator of the ability
and accomplishments OF Mir. DANIEL won
the grateful appreciation Of the people Of
Richmond, and, indeed, Of all citizens who
truly esteem public loyalty and exalted viz
tues.
We shall be most happy to see Mr.. DAN
DRiDdE in the public councils, satisfied that
his presence will be OF public advantage
and tend TO conserve the Interests OF the
Commonwealth and advance the cause OF
virtue and OF peace.

Tho correspondence OF the Dispatch, our
readers must have observed, often contains
some very pungent sentences. We IND In
our very instructive letter from Henry
county the very amusing statement that the
Rev. p. L. SBuLER. who had been "bush-
whackipg1 for nomination as senator
from the Franklin district, "did not mind
abeing called Mozarter,' as be never
.exnected to be ashamed OF the name
&c MOSES while he lived" 1t will be all the
better for him II his feIlow.citizens are as
confident that they will never be ashamed
OF the name SBULER."
The letter from Christiansburg has
racy touch or two. A Readiuster-DestTuc'
tive orator named ALTER announced that
he had no speech to nuke. aud, says our au-
thor. cleft the stand i'll confusion, reduced
hors de combat by his own aggressive i'm

Our Virginia j ack Cade and His Party

Our Virginia Jack Cade and HIS Party
AS California has its Sand-lot polltlcs anC
politicians, so Virginia has its mud-politie:
and politicians. Both have their hEARNEis
This thing called readi ustment is but new
form Of that old agrarianism taught oy
demagogues in all ages. The ruffian JAcE
CApE, who made so much trouble in Eng
land some centuries ago, was not only fail
tvpe OF the ancient but also OF the modern
readjuster. sHAKsPEARE's picture Of hin
and his followers fits as well our Virginia
JACK CADE and his followers. The English
demagogue was dissatisfied with every thing,
Nothing pleased him. He was the enemy
OF all established things. His aim was to
pull down all existing inStitutions-rulers,
laws, courts, legislatures, and learaing.
His command to his army of indictments
was: Burn all the records Of the realm !;
my mouth shall be the Parliament OF Eng
land"
Our Virginia JACK CADE is not whit
behind bis English model. His programme
is to sweep away statutes and contracts
solemnly enacted; to cruelty the Judges OF
the Supreme Court OF Appeals and burn
their records and decisions.
Said one OF the English demagogue's lieu
tenants: "lt was never merry in England
since gentlemen came up"; and all the
maicontants cried with one voice, "Down
With the gentry" and "Let everything be
in common"
Our Virginia Jewellers are rapidly ap-
preaching the same reckless and desperate
state Of mind, and it is not unlikely that we
shall soon hear them catching up the cry OF
CADg and bis lientenants, "KiIl all the law
yers; break open all the jaiis and let the
