The STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
AT the session of the executive com
mittee Wednesday an election of Sec
rotary was held. Col. w. G. Knight,
the present incumbent, and w. A.

election of Mr.. Burke. The vote stood

Harrison, Bowman, Quinby, Watkins,
Venable, Wexford, Carter, Palmer, and
Drewry-10.
For Colonel Knight-Messrs. Burke,
Newman, Ficklin, END Walker.
Mr.. Burke said he could nst accept
the office if the committee required him
to give his whole time to its duties that
he could not apare the time from his
private business to come to Richmond
and perform the duties himself, but he
would put good man in the office, and
give it such personal supervision as he
could by making frequent visits to
Richmond to look after the interests Of
the Society. He bad not sought the
office, and had protested against the
use of his name in connection with 1t
but his friends had forced the position
upon him, and if the committee thought
that his acceptance on the conditions he
had named would promote the interests
of the Society he would DO the best he
could.
The following resolution, offered by
Colonel Beverly, was adopted:
Resozved, That sc much OF resolu-
ton passed April II, 1878, as required
the whole time of the secretary to be
given to the business of the society be
rescinded, and that the secretary just

REIMBURSEMENT IN PATRICK COUN-
TY.-After copying several of the reso-
lutions adopted by meeting of Read
justers in Patrick county, the Danviile
Post says:
"Now, was there ever such a Disgrace
full confession as this made by any set
of men calling themselves conservatives
and Virginians? They openly proclaim
that they have abandoned their old par
ty friends and race, and gone over 10
the republicans and negroes for an 'in-
dependent ticket" for fear that. if they
were to act again with the conservatives
and white people, the REPUBLICAN par
ty" would separate from them :"
We are confident from what we know
of some of the gentlemen whose names
are mentioned as members of the Pat
rick meeting, that few of them, at
least, never read or never understood
some of the resolutions adopted, and
that they will be ashamed to read them
in print or let their wives and children
know they ever endorsed them. AS to
those of that meeting. or Of any other
meeting who may prefer association and
alliance with the republican party"
and negroes in an election which has
nothing to do with the debt question, to
a renewal of their relationship with
their own race, party and kindred, we
can have no other opinion than that of
unutterable contempt and disgust, and
such will be the final verdict Of all hon
orable and right-thinking men to what
ever party or section of the country they
may belong"

their locality, because they keep the
