THE Richmond Dispatch gives the fol-
lowing information in regard to the to-
bacco crop:
We are favored with the following in
formation by Richmond house. 1t is
from one of the most discreet men at
Danville, and bears date 10Th inst:
II have seen all of our warehouse
men, and some of the largest buyers,
and have been talking with the best
farmers from almost every section Olthe
region trading at Danville, with this re-
suit: There are as many plants of tobac-
co now in the ground living as there
were at this time last year. About one
third of the crop was planted early; this
is seriously affected, and cannot make
good wrappers. The second paintings
havenot been muchinjured yet. The late
paintings are very small, and have
not started to grow. There are many
farmers who did not finish planting.
Had the season been favO able and the
planters put in all they made prepare
ton for, and got a good stand, the crop
would have been much larger than any
former wear. The statements of my in
iormants differ widely, and the conclu-
sions given above are not the opinion s
OF the majority, but they are the views
of the most observant men. I'll, y
think, with rains soon, we will make II
average crop in pounds. The crop I
bright wrappers must be short and
come from the second paintings; the
early paintings that have been dwaried
will all take the second growth, and
hence produce leaf only suitab e. fill
ers. There is time enough for the late
and small tobacco to rIpen, with favora-
BILE seasons"

ErMo-THIRDs RULE.

In reply to 4 correspondent, we gave,
few DAYS ago, sonethingof the history
Of the 'two-thirds rule" which prevails
in the National Democratic COnven-
tons. referring 10 the action taken by
the st. Louis Convention OF 1876, to
bring about a change in favor OF the
majority rule.
The Richmond Dispatch supplements
our statements with more specific inior-
nation regarding the action of the ST.
Louis Convention, which We quote:
"The Wheeling Register grazes the
facts OF the case in ITS article on the two
thirds rule. We will furnish that and
all other papers the facts as recorded.
We were thar.
In the Democratic National Convcn-
ton in st. Louis III 1876, Mr.. Williams,
on June 18th, offered the following reso-
luton:
ReUlred, That this Convention recon-
mend To all future Democratic cOnyen-
tons not to adopt the twO-thirds rule in
nominating candidates for President
and Nice-Presideats oil the United
States.
This resolution was Oyerslaughed by
a point of order.
The following resolution, offered by
Mr.. Webber, OF Michigan, was then
read:
ANTI TwO-TuIRDS RESOLUTION.
Rssolred, That it be recommended to
future National Democratic conven-
tons as the sense of the Democracy
here in convention assembled that the
socalled two-thirds rule be abolished
as unwise and unnecessary, and that
the States be requested TO instruct
their delegates TO the Democratic Nation
al Convention 10 be held in 1880,
whether il be desirable TO continue the
two thirds rule longer in force in the
National Convention, and that the
National Committee insert such re-
Quest in their call for the Convention.
A motion was made by Mr., Burch, OF
Tennessee, TO lay the resolution on the
table, and scaled vote was demanded
and granted. The result was ayes $50,
noes $40. So the motion to lay on the
table vas lost.
We now quote:
The President: The gentleman from
PENNSYLVANIA Mr.. Wallace demands
division OF the question. The clerk will
read that portion upon which he calls
division.
The clerk read as follows:
RsNOlred, That il be recommended TO
future Democratic National Conventions
AS the sense of the Democracy here in
Convention assembled that the sO-called
two-thirds rule be abolished us unwise
and unnecessary.
The resolution was adopted.
The Secretary read the second part, as
follows;
Resolrsd, That the States be requested
10 instruct their delegates to the Demo
cratic National Convention 10 be held
in 1880, whether it be desirable to con-
tinue the twO-thirds rule lOuger in force
i'm National Conventions, and that the
National Committee insert such request
i'm the call for the next Convention.
The resolution was adopted.
So il will be seen that the last Demo
cratic National Convention on scaled
vote pronounced against the twO-thirts
rule, and that the two resolutions above
quoted were adopted withouta recorded
division.
OF course, it is for the next Demo
cratic National Convention 10 adopt It's
own rules; but il the States instruct
their delegates as requested, 1t will, we
hope, require only majority to nomi-
nate the next Democratic candidate Tor
President.

WHEN the West Virginia Monitor ac-
credits us with the opinion that the rati-
tication Of the constitutional amend
mcnt will not abolish the alternative
plan Of County Courts, it is correct
that far, and no farther. We DO not en-
dorsc the further idea advanced by the
Monitor, that il the amendment is
adopted the counties which have the al
tentative plan will be- irrevocably sad
died with the expense of three terms Of
Circuit Court and also county Judge,
for five lines OF an act Of the Legislature
which meets i'm about two months after
tine vote on the constitutional amend
mcnt-wjll repeal the county Judge bill
for any county that does not want it.
These county judge bills are not Con-
stitutioual provisions, but creatures Of
Legislature, which are entirely sub
jcct to its control.

Senators during the summer. BAYARD

I'm two or three counties in Illinois.
CHANDLER will 20 up and count the lit

Ohio TO skin Democrats. LOGAN will
perhaps assist him in the amusement.
BooTH takes an active part in the can

Virginia, is spending his summer in the
mountains. HAMLIN and WHEELER are

nesota in August. EDNUNDs will roam
over Europe. JOHNSTON OF Virginia,
JONES Of Florida, and LAMAR are max

The Boston Giobs thinks the union OF
the Democrats AMI Greenbackers in
Ohio ought to assure the election Of
EWING and RICE. 1t will BE- remember
ed that HAYES majority in 1876 was
only pa. He got 33,69S votes, while
TmDES had 5223, Isl, and 4,I59 We're scat
tered. The following year the Demo
Gratis recovered what they had lost, and
beat the Republicans by majority Of
lO,O3l over all opponents. In 1873
the Greenback party, composed very
largely of Democrats and dis
satisfied labOring men, threw 3S,332
votes. The Democrats nearly held
their own, their vote bcir. only 729 less
than i'm 1877; but the Republicans gain
ell a trife over 25,OOO. The Greenback
vote will elect any candidate for whom
il is thrown i'm combination with the
full vote of either party. EwING will
have the solid Democratic vote, and is
sure OF three-quarters Of the Grecnback
vot OF the State, and unless some UNI
foreseen element is prccipitated into
the contest, will be triumphantly
elected.

SERENADE
To Hon. g. j. Faulkner, at
Staunton, Virginia.
Prom the Charleston Free Pres.

From the Charleston Free Press.
Hon. c.. J. Faulkner arrived at
Staunton, on Monday evening, on his
way to Huntington to take part IN the
celebration of the Fourth OF July. The
fact of his arrival being soon known 1t
was determined 10 honor him with q
serenade, for which the " StOnewail
Band. one of the largest and finest in
the State, promptly volunteered their
services. The serenade took place at
the Virginia Hotel about S o'clock, when
Mr. Faulkner was loudly called for. He
addressed the crowd from the balcony,
being occasionally applauded through
out his remarks, and enthu-
siastically so at their close.
He alluded in the course of his remarks
to the division of the State by the crea-
| ton of the new State Of West Virginia.
As 10 the propriety of that measure at
| the time when it occurred he had moth
ing 10 say. He had himself no agency
| in il. When the plan OF separation com
| menced he was a prisoner OF the Fed
eral government in Fort Lafayette, and
when il was contaminated he was IN
| the Confederate service as the chief OF
| Stau OF NlOneWdll JdChSoll. Inc Stltli1-
ton of the two States was now final and
irrevocable, and whilst he had the
warmest affection and admiration Tor
the dear old State OF Virginia, he felt it
due to candOr-to that State Ofwhlch he
was now citizen and to such of
her people as had honOred
him with their confidence distinctly 10
say that he was satisfied with the allOt-
ment of his home in West Virginia. He
believed she would prove a daughter
worthy of the Old Dominion. He be-
lieved the two States would do honor to
their common name, and he hoped to
see them cultivate the most kind and
friendly relations and vie with each
other in promoting the happiness and
prosperity of their respective citizens
In alluding to the "Stonewall Band he
paid high tribute to the great military
| leader after whom it was called.
