-READJ LISTERS AND DEBT-PAY EhS
UNITE TO DEFEAT REPUBLICANISM.
The Conservative State Convention
which met in the theatre in Richmond
last Wednesday was large body, EN-.
bracing men of talents, character, and
patriotism from both the debt-paying
and readjuster wings of the party. We
publish the proceedings at length as re-
ported in the Dispatch:
Precisely at II o'clock M. Judge John
It. Lowell, chairman of the State Com
nittee, called the Convention to order,
and nominated as temporary chairman
DIR. w. ID. Quesenberry, of Caroline.
The nomination was unanimously ratl-
fled by the Convention. DR.. Quesenber-
ry came forward, and was introduced by
Judge Lowell. After the applause with
which he was greeted had subsidized, the
temporary chairman addressed the Con-
vention as follows:
am duly sensible of the honor which
you have just conferred upon me-. and
L tender you my grateful acknowledge
ments for it. 1t is not expected that /
sdall make speech. butt may congrat-
ulate the Convention On the number
and character of the men who have as
sembled here at this call of their
State. 1t proves the interest that you
take in the important work that You
have to do, and no man can look upon
this august body without the conviction
that the honor and welfare of the Con-
sentative party and of the State of Vir-
ginia those synonymous termsl may be
committed with confidence to your
hands. [Applause.]
AZ Gentlemen of the Convention, l trust
and believe that your session will be
harmonious, pleasant, and successful,
and now announce that we are ready
to proceed to perfect the organization OF
this body.
General William b. Taliaferro then
introduced a series of resolutions look
ing to the further organization of the
Convention. The resolutions provided
for the appointment by the district del
egations of three members each on a
general committee on credentials, a
committee on permanent organization,
and on resolutions that the committee
on credentials should determine who
were entitled to seats in the Conven-
ton, that on permanent organization
the permanent officers of the COnven-
ton, and that on resolutions TO prepare
rules for the government of the Conven-i
ton. The fifth and last resolution call
ed for ecess of one hour to enable the
district delegations to retire and report
the names of the several committee
men.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted, and the Convention adjourned
for one hour.

Col. JOHN r. PoPHAM CONVICTED.
In the Hastings Court of Richmond,
Col. John R. Popham, editor of the
IateNigencer, was convicted of unlaw-
fully shooting r. G. Agee, and was SEN
fenced to 80 days Imprisonment and a
fine of 5000.
If the circumstances were such as re-
ported in the statement published by
Popham, we think he ought to have
been acquitted. We have not seen any
report of the testimony of the witnesses
at the trial, upon which the jury based
their verdict.

sFAUNToN, May y. 1880.
We are by no conceivable means u chronic
grEVbler, bGt by virtue Of the taxes collected
from as, and by reason OF our earnest devotion
to the impartial administration ofjustioe, and
being, as we are, Staunch believers in the equal
bestowal among all the citizens of the various
comforts with which our city is provided, we
desire to ask a few questions pertinent to the
ciLy's administration of affairs On East Lewis
and Augusta Streets.
1st. Whose duty is it to light the gas on the
abovenamed streets From the shameful man
ner in which it is nearly habituaily neglected
we presume it is no ones duty, that the 'Fa-
thers'' expect Us to.be guided ny the lights en-
anating from ohl'ow SircuTttspancss.' -
End. Is there any law to prohtbip or qpeil
boisterous races; If SO. whose dGty is y to at
tend TO it 2 Daily there is a great commotion
created By the negro employees Of hFans, to to
from their work, such as utterly alarms and
disgraces the entire neighborrood
I'd. Whose duty j. it to pick up the unfortu-
nate drunkard, who brutalizes himself on the
principal thorough1ares OF the city, and stag
gers out ON East Lewis and Augusta streets,
and falls and lies for hours, utterly shocking
the modesty of all decent people who may pass
that way, and openly insulting the dignity of
the corporation?
The;- are sundry other questions equally APP
plicabft thst can he appropriately asked in re-
gard to the tef6taf elect OF tits pcttid Of the
moral vineyard, and as the memory ofnone of
our citizens sunIeth to the contrary, we ear
nestly ask q solution Of or remedy for the same
