FUNERAL OF A COLoRED GENTLEMAN
ruary End, 1879, Rev. Richard Taylor, the
most honored colored man in Montgomery
county, departed this life. In the palmy
days of Montgomery, before the war,
every ore knew him and respected him
for his sterling worth and pure piety. A
true colored gentleman of the olden time
he was. He was born about 1903, and at
the time of his death was 76 years of age.
Truly pious from early manhood he be-
came a preacher of the Gospel about SO
years ago, was permitted by his master to
preach wherever he felt called to 20 and
was listened to with profit by white and
black alike. He Was especially eloquent
in prayer-and many d visitor to the Mont
gomery Springs in olden times yet remem-
bers his eloquence-some of them CRATE
fully for the good he did them. For the
last ten years he has been pastor of the
colored Baptist church, near this town,
having in charge other churches in the
neighboring region, his ministry being
greatly blessed to the LIST.
His funeral was attended by a large
crowd-white and back mipgling their
tears over the placid. gentle face of the
good old man, and ne Was followed to the
grave by one of the largest professions
ever seen in this place, composed of both
colors-prominent among whom was his
former master. George Earheart, Esq,
who in his old age rode mny miles to
attend. The bells of the white churches
tolled as the procession moved and the
remains of good old uncle Richard Taylor
were laid in their last resting place amid
the sympathy of the whole community

THE STATE CONTENTION AT
RICHMOND.

The gathering of fifteen or twenty
gentlemen at our Court House on Satur-
day last, and the adoption Of resolutions
which may be mistaken to represent the
sentiments of the Readjusters of Augusta,
is not of Importance, save as far as it may
indicate the fact that the whole of the
convention, which IS to meet at Rich
mond on the 25th inst, may be composed
of delegates appointed iby just such small
which case, we presume, the result of the
deliberations Of such body will have
little weight with the Adjusters in the
Legislature, or indeed with anyone else as
an expression of State op MON.
The very general if not universal
opinion in Augusta county, as far as we
have been able to learn it, is in favor of
the acceptance Of the proposition of the
creditors. Of course, there are gentlemen
here and there, especially some who
have stepped off very far on a
different line, who do not join heartily in
this acceptance. There are some who
mingle sort Of personal pride in the de-
sire that their side' whichever side that
may be may have the credit Of the settle
ment, but Of the people at large we may
safely say that before the blessing of set
tied debt question both the Debt Payer
and Readjuster divisions sink into utter
insignifcance. If any of the leaders of
these divisions wish to test this thing they
have only to step in the way and see how
promptly the people will thrust them
aside. We incur no risk in saying that
after the present near approach to settle
ment, should any leader interfere with ob-
structions, which should avert, or post
pone, or neutralize all the progress that
mas been made to this happy issue, his Oh :
portunity for benefting Virginia by pub
| lie service will hereafter be very limited.
| AS to the credit of the settlement, tmay
| be remarked that so quickly will this disa
,reeabIe and harmful Contest disappear
| from political memory, ami so soon will
other live questions be piled On top of the
grave of this dead one that the record of who
,eally adjusted it Will hardly be preserved
| 1t will however, be very marked example
| # the truth that ''the evil that men do
| ives after them, the good is often inter-
rcd with their bones.' 1t may rot be re-
nembered who adjusted this debt but ii
will be vindictively kept in mind by the
people as to who prevented its adjust
nent. The farmer accepts a good lahore
| as his due but tile awkward hand and the
narplot s.not only discharged from ser
vice but the memory of the harm he has
| lone long survives the man himself.
Let the eager rivalry for the credit
| # this settlement be remanded to the
hal mless regions of private conversation, or
let its airing be RENTED to the hastings
1t some future day if need be, but don't
let i6 come into the legisla ton of Virginia
nntil this matter is finished and safely out
| of hand.

where men of one political party can be
hunted in their homes by emissaries OF an
other political party, carried before Juries
of that party, tried by a judge of that party
and sentenced to prison, and the Demo-
cratic party is expected to stand firm in
this determination.
A good illustration of the operation of
the U. S. Supervisors law has just been
given in Virginia. Adolph Gilman, a
Judge of election Of Petersburg, was in
dicted for ejecting U. S. deputy marshal
from the room Of the judges of election,
place the marshal had no right to be in.
On Wednesday last the prisoner was ar
ra1gned for trial before Judge Hughes at
Richmond. The court ruled that the
marshal had no right to be in the room
under the circumstances, and isright only
began when there was an active distur-
bance of the peace, or fraud, or violence
attempted on the U. S. Supervisor.
A nolle prosequi was thereupon entered
in Gitman's case. The cases of Messrs.
Parham and Olivier (brother Of Mr.
W. l.. Olivier, the well-known book
seller Of staunton), two other Pc
tersburg judges Of election and pro-
minent citizens, were continued till the
next term, as were t ose of the judges OF
Sussex county. With such judge as
Bond or Settle these Virginians would in
all likelihood be now in the Albany peni-
Tertiary. In the case given, citizen has
been arrested by Republican officer, in-
dicted by a Republican jury, without
grounds, and nothing but an impartialjudge
has saved him. The whole effect Of the
q. S. election laws, as intended by the
Republican originators of them, is ter
terrorism.

The WEATHER FOR 1879.-Richard
Mansills 'sAlmanac of Planetary Meteor
ulogy'' for 1879 has the following: If the
positions of the planets affect the tempera-
ture of the earth's atmosphere during the
year 1879, as they have when in similar po-
sitions during the past years, particularly
the positions that gave us the mild Winter
OF 1S77-'7s and early Spring of 1851 we
may expect very cratic seasons during
1879. Agreeable to the theory, we shall
nave cool weather set in early in the Au-
tumn of 1878; it will grow cool somewhat
faster than the mean of the season in No
vember and December, with temperature
below the mean; Winter will continue
through February, followed by a cold
March. We shall be fiattered by the pres
pect of Spring during few days about
the middle of April. while Mercury is
about passing it's inferior conjunction
with the sun, but this will soon pass away,
and the weather, or temperature, sink be-
low the average of the season, AID will
probably remain below the mean through
out May, June and July-while we shall
move into hot, stormy summer about
the last day of August, and these condi-
tiOns continuing through September and
most of October. Between the Autumn
and Winter months cool droughts will like
y prevail over large landed countries in
the temperate zona, located far from the
seas, while an excess of cool rains will
probably occur on or about the seacoast
countries during the same term. These
abnormal Irregularities of the seasons of
1879 must affect the crops in many and
great parts Of the earth during the year.
