CAPTURING THE STAUNToN ARTILLERY.
Last Saturday was set apart for a grand
rally of the contending wings of the De-
mocracy OF Rockingham in East Rocking.
ham. To make the occasion imposing, one
party, friends of the McCulloch bill, Dor
rowed piece from the Staunton Artillery.
The other party, Mozarters, had several
brass bands. The clans assembled, and
numbered 1000 Mozarters and about IS
McCulloch bill men. After excessive dis
play of lung power on each side, burning Of
powder, blowing Of horns and hammering Of
anvls, Mahomet commenced moving to-
wards the mountain. st. Paul, stretching
forth his arms, exclaimed that it delighted
his heart to see the publicans and sinners
coming to him, and in a short time the ar
tillery was deserted, ard the masses fused
into one resounding acclaim, "'Rah for
Paul?'' The artillery was captured, and
the conflict closed, with no enemy left to
tell the tale. This, therefore, is tradition.

THE DEBATING SOCIETY.-There was
quite large audience, including number
of ladies', at the meeting of the Debating
Society on Saturday night last, and the dis
cussion was an animated one. The question,
tWas Cromwell's course justifiable?" was
discussed by Messrs. Shelley Roller, and A.
F. Robertson in the affirmative, and by L.
NJ. Bumgardner and Sam'l Il. Coleman in the
negative. The speeches were all finely pre-
pared, most OF them showing careful re-
search and mental activity, and were well
delivered. In the general debate Messrs.
Jordan, C. B. Jones, Echard and Gen1
Lilly, participated, and each acquitted him
self with credit. A majority vote of the
society was given in favor of the negative.
On next Saturday night the question,
sShould there be property qualification to
the right of suffrage ?" will be discussed by
Messrs. G. B. Jones and H. L. Hoover in the
affirmative, and A. c. Gordon and j. Yost
in the negative. Besides the debate there
will be several interesting changes in the
constitution and bylaws, which will come
up for consideration, and will doubtless
elicit discussion.

The "Virginian" for 1880.

Inc proprietorS OF the NALLhh
IAN propose to furnish the paper lto ne"
subscribers) from now until the first OF jan
uary. 1881. for tsco dollars cash an ddudnce.
Although the circulation OF the VIRGIN
IAN is as large, if not larger, than any
weekly paper published in the State, we are
anxious to still further increase the number
of its readers and widen the circle OF its in
fiuence, and for that reason we propose to
throw in the time from now until the first
Of January next, to those who wish to be-
come regular subscribers from this date.
The events of 1880 will be interesting and
important. Besides the session of the Viz
ginia Legislature, which commences the first
Monday in December, Congress will assem-
BILE at the same time, and continue its ses-
sion to later date, doubtless, than usual.
In the State Legislature, matters affecting
the public debt and all the interests OF the
State will be discussed and determined, anu
in Congress, the plan of battle and the Or
ganization of the forces Of the two great
political parties for the presidential contest
will engage attention. The interests ana
questions to come up for consideration, III
both State and Nation, will be OF absorbing
importance, and every citizen should keep
himself well informed of their progress. Out
side of party politics, the year 1880 will be
pregnant with interest, in that during it the
census will be taken and re-assessment OF
property made.
Whilst, as heretofore, the YIRGINIAN
will maintain the principles OF the Republi-
can party, it expects to do so without re-
sorting to partizan villi1cation, and will en-
plov only legitimate arguments and facts,
addressed to the reason Of the people, and
not to their passions.
In addition to this, its columns will con-
tain well selected and instructive articles
AucCllflg CuITGut CtChtos AOeeSt' AASAA A~SS-
ligent correspondents, local and general
news, markets, &c.
A controlling feature of its editorial con-
duct will be to direct attention to the mate
rial interests Of Virginia, and to the means
best adapted to the development OF our re-
sources. This country is about entering
upon a period of unexampled prosperity
and business activity, and it will be our par
amount aim to aid in placing the State
abreast of the advancing tide.
The vIRGINIAN is now the largest and
most extensively circulated weekly paper
in the State, and it is our purpose to SUI
further improve it. Its primary object VIII
be to elevate and liberalize public thought,
and prove itself an interesting companion
to all classes.
Send in your subscriptions at once, ana
secure the paper two months without cost.

WE DON'T know what better large
cities can do than to employ the news
paper reporters on their staff Of detec-
tives. 1t has not been long since Bos'
ton reporter recognized Chastine Cox
and had him arrested, and he now
awaits his execution. Now reporter
Of the New York "Herald" has immor-
talizsd himself by discovering Scanned
in Patterson City, New Jersey, the man
who stabbed another man in New York
one day last week. The New York
detectives were baflled, and the Patter-
son police plodded along in their old
beaten rounds the same as II no such
man as Scanned was going in and out OF
the saloons OF the city with no attempt
a. concealmeut. 1t was only when
reportsr of the "Herald," who had
Rad description Of the fugitive, saw
him in saloon and recognized him as
the man that was wanted in New York,
that he was arrested at all. A worse
thing might be done than to employ
reporters on the detective force OF large
cities. As has been repeatedly demon
stratrd reporters make excellent de-
t.ctives, but it is doubtful if police as
general thing would make good re-
porters.

ALL coLoRED janitors are not towards
as was exemplified in Chicago on satnr-
day last, when q couple of prominent
business mel tried to play joke upon
the color.d janitor OF the establishment
They disarrsnged the room to make it
look as if rot bers had been about and
then slipped into closet to await and
see what the janitor would do when he
made the discovery. They soon found out,
for upon entering the room he got excl
ted, procured q revolver, and hearing a
noise in the closet tried to open the
door and captur. the supposed robber ,
bu, falling in opening the door he sent
bullet crashing through the door
panel and the head of one Of the EN-
ployers at the Same time. A coroner's
Jury has justified the colorsd janitor
and discharged him from custody.
This was o joke with rather a tragic
ending.

CONGRESSMAN FREYE, Of Maine, ha
been charged with saying in his speech
atsLewiston, Me-, on Friday night, that
the Republicans would never see Dan
isl F. Davis Governor of Maine. What
he did say was this: "On the very
day when you wers rejoicing over the
victory of the Republican party at the
polls, two Democrats and one Fusionist
were heard to declare in this city, 'Let
them laugh hardest who laugh last; the
Republicans will never see Daniel F.
Davis Governor of this State" Mr..
Frye believes that the plot had already
been matched and arrangements made
to carry it out at the time of the eles-
ton.
