ORANGE COUNTY.

READJCSTERS' MEETING" WAS THIS THING
DONE IN A CoRNER?"
II is my habit whenever anything Of gen.
era! interest occurs in Orange, and only
then, TO write some account Of it for the
Dispatch In other words, I am always on
the lookout for the current local news Of
general interest.
There had been some casual conversation
among some OF our citizens, after the call
i0r the assembling OF the readiusters in
Richmond on the 25th proXimo, concerning
that same assemblage, and much doubt was
expressed as to whether an attempt would
be made to hold a public meeting in this
county. receive and read both our county
papers, aud usually 60 to the county.seat
twice or three times week, and was there
on last court.day. All this to show that
have been on the oui vive for any such meet
Ing. Judge Of my surprise, then, when I
read in the Gordonsville Gazette this eve
ming that " the readjusters of Orange coun-
tY held a meeting on last court-day." The
reporter nalye!y adds: "The meeting was
rather informal, there having been no pub
lie notice given" "Rather informal in
deed!
II is certainly very far from your CORE.
spondents purpose to question their right
to hold meeting-in corner, or else
Where-but people may draw their own in
lerences as to the manner and method Of it
as ii was held.
Now, as to the list of delegates. Two OF
them, Messrs. Browning and Taliaferro, are
eX-members Of the Legislature, and are
warm personal and political friends Of Mr.
James Barbour. OF the remaining four
tecn-delesaleS and alternates-I am sure
not less than eight were absent from the
meeting" and knew nothing Of its con-
temptation even; one, the father Of your
correspondent, is anything else than re-
aa!Nsier, and will be indignant to see his
name thus used; and one has never been
member Of the Conservative party at any
4Ine. Mr.. Taliaferro was elected to the

HORRIBLE SCENE AT AN ALMSH0UsE FIRE.
The Louisville (Ky.) almshouse was de.
stroyed by fire Friday morning. There were
$40 persons in the building-mostly inva-
lids and cripples-nearly all OF whom
escaped. Henry Kepler persisted in the
flames; James Ridley, an imbecile, was
fatally burned; Fred. Meyer, in escaping,
broke his neck; Thomas Dixon was killed
by fall; Nathan Caldwell was seriously
hurt; and Mrs. johnson was seriously
burned, and will probably die. The scene
at the fire is described as horrible. The
building was erected by the city OF Louis
Vile in 1874, at cost Of $4,000, and was
insured for $4,000.
