The Ticket.

From whatever point of view we con-
slider it, the nomination of Hancock and
English must be pronounced the most
available that it was in the power of the
Cincinnati Convention to make. In the
first place, it will command the sup
port of the whole Democratic party.
There is not to-day anywhere within
the ranks of that organization the least
division of sentiment, or dissenSiOn
growing out of conflict of interest.
When Mr.. Randall took the platform,
amid the cheering of the Convention,
60 second the motion to make the NOM
ination of General Hancock unanimous,
he gave by that act guarantee to the
party that the Wallace and Randall
wings of the Pennsylvania Democracy
should thereafter move in harmony,
uniting the best efforts of both to secure
the Electoral vote of their State for its
most distinguished citizen. 1t is now
probable that General Hancock will
carry Pennsylvania But the reconcil
iation of Tammany and Irving Hall,
through the persons of Mr.. Kelly and
Mr. Fellows, is even more significant
and cheering. New York is now as
sure to cast her thirty-five Electoral
votes for the Cincinnati nominees as is
either Kentucky or Missouri. Mr.. Til
den, Senator Bayard, Judge Thurman,
Judge Field and other eminent Demo-
Gratis whose names were considered by
the Convention, will strive with gener-
Gus rivalry to surpass each other in
strengthening the hands of the man to
whom have been confided the standard
of their common party. General Han
cocks public life has been apart from
theirs, and the reasons for his nomina-
ton do not reflect in the slightest de-
gree upon the claims of any one of
them.
The important State of Indiana has
not been overlooked. Her value to the
Democratic party has been recognized
in the nomination of one of her favorite
sons to the Presidency, and her
people must be proud of their ability to
furnish name worthy to be coupled
with that of Hancock, and which will,
at the same time, add strength to the
ticket. Mr.. Hendricks being unwilling
to take the second place, Mr.. English
YVES, all things considered, the most
available candidate for the position in
tie whole list of possible nominees.
The fact that the Electoral vote of
New York and Indiana added to that of
the Southern States would suffice to
elect the Democratic nominees seemed
to render it advisable that the ticket
should be made up from those States;
but complications which could not be
obviated made it inexpedient to look to
New York for a name for the first
place. The nomination Of General
Hancock, reuniting the divided Democ-
racy of that State, relieves the embar-
rassed situation there, while it increases
The chances for success in all the North
ern States. The ticket has been gwen
70 Pennsylvania and Indiana under
more suspicious circumstances than it
could have been given to New York
and Indiana.
The soldier vote in the North is an
immense element of strength, and Gen
eral Hancock is military hero, beloved

The V1rginian for the Campaign.

In order that all may have an opportunity
of keeping fully posted on the stirring events
of the Presidential compaign, we have deter
mined to reduce the price of the VIRGINIAN,
from now until the list of january, 1881, to a
minimum cost. We want the paperto go into
every community of the State, and if possible
into every household. We want the people to
read both sides of the question, and to that
end propose to furnish the VIRGINIAN at a
price at which all can afford to subscribe
From now until the 18th of November, 1880,
the VIRGINIAN will he sent post paid to sub
scribers at IS Cents per copy.
CASH must accompany the order, otherwise
the papers will not be sent.
We ask our friends throughout the State
and elsewhere to aid us in extending our cir
culation. We shall make the paper as inter-
esting as possible, seeking at all times to in
culcate true Republican doctrine and present
reasons why the people of the nation, and es-
pecially of the South, should align themselves
with that party whose watchword is progress,
and whose record is a long array of splendid
achievements.

THE MARKETS.

The markets, as usual at this season Of the year,
are very qufet-only small quantities of wheat and
flour offering, and the demand even more limited
than the offerings. Superne flour, yesterday, was
quoted at $3 3d.; extra, 81 10; family, 81 co. Wheat
Fulz IS to co. red 80 to 95. Corn, 4S; Oats 3d. Hay
from SIS to II per ton. In Baltimore Southern red
was quoted at SO to 81 0S; No. Maryland 81 10 to
81 II. In Richmond 81 05 to OF.
The report Of the wheat crop in Germany brings it
below an average, and that country will have to
buy from the United States. The estimate is that
the deficit will reach 1OO,OOO,OOO bushels, besides
enough to replen1sh exhausted stocks. The official
report shows that France has imported this year
to July 3lst, 100000 bushels-the same quantity
imported for the same period last year. AS the
stocks are greatly depleted, that country, too will
require large imports this year. The reports from
Russia are much more discouragng then heretofore
given, and it is believed that country will produce
barely enough grain for its own consumption.

JEWISH HoLrDAYs-The New Years Day,
Rosh Hashanah, 1.-The beginning of the year."
corresponding with our first day of January,
came this year on the sixth day of September
It falls on the first day of the tenth month, &C
cording to the Jewish calender. Last year it
came on the nth of September. All orthodox
Jews keep the festival through two days. The
| reformed" and the Liberal" Jews devote
but single day to it. Yom Kippur, or DAY
of Atonement," will fall on the 10Th of Septem-
ber II is the great fast day Of the Jews.
However jew may fall back from the faith
of his fathers. two habits yet link him to his
church; one is to pray for the repose of the
souls of his dead parents on the anniversary of
their death Yom Kippur is very solemn
fast for twenty four hours. The fast is COM
plete, not even water being allowed. 1t begins
at sunset on the preceding day, and with sol
emn ceremonial A fityofite and powerful
Jewish tradition is that Rosh Hashanah closes
the wears record, and thence TO Yom kippur
angels scan and dispute the record, but on that
day the status of every jew is fixed for the
new wear. From the services of that day
every Jew is believed to go forth with con-
science pure toward God, having forgotten all
enmities and sought also Gods forgiveness for
all transgresslons. Ina ne" ness OF spirit, re-
conciled to both God and his fellow-men, the
Jew closes the solemniiy OF 4om kippur'
which he began with religious service, with
mind eased of offcnse towards his Creator.
This experience happily fits him for the Feast
of Tabernacles. which follows five days after
the Day of Atonement, and continues seven
days, but only the first and last days are fuli
holidays.
