at this Juncturc Of aflirs, in order to
put an end to what seemed destined to be
an interminable balloting, it was proposed
to put the names Of Evins, Woodward and
Kennedy in hat, and draw out the names
Of two aud run them against each other,
and drop the lowest and run the highest
against the name remaining in the hat
This proposition did not come from Evius'
friends. On the contrary, they opposed

friends, made two or more spc ,ches against
it. Notwithstanding the persistent opposi.
tion OF E.ins' friends, the proposition was
adopted and the proposed plan was carried
out. The names of Woodward and Ken.

resulting In the election Of Evins. This is
plain statement of tho facts of the case.
the correctness of which will be vouched
Tor, doubtless, by all the delegates to said
convention.
1t will thus be seen that Evins received
the highest vote on the last ballot in which
all three were voted for, and when baliotinc.
under the plan agreed upon, was reduced
to single contests and Woodward beat Kon
nedy, that Evins tlcn beat Woodward four
votes i'll single handed race in fair ballot.
We cannot, therefore, see that Mai. Wood
ward has any just ground to complain, as
Col. Evins received the nomination on n
lair ballot and not by any "gambling pro-
cess, or by "luck," as charged oy Mai.
Woodward, but because he was the choice
OF majority of the convention and received
more votes than Maj Woodward.
Major Wood yard also does Colonel
Evins great injustice when hc intimates that
he assumes "to demand a Third Term at
the hands of the people of the Fourth Con-
grcssional District"
Colonel Evins has never assumed apv
such attitude. On the contrary, he has
always acted upon the principle that "the
Office should seek the man instead of the
man seeking the Office" He did not seek
the office in 1876, but was put forward by

CHICKEN CHOLERA. In respect to tho
chicken cholera: Pastcdr has gone one step
further than the results of his experiments
on the spread of anthrax have taken him.
The microscopic organism by which this dis
ease is communicated has been described
and figured within the last two years Like
other such organisms, this can be cultivated
in suitable media that furnish the proper
sustenance for it, one of tho best of which
is chicken broth, in which the organism
multiplies with astonishing rapdity Pas

oculated with this virus without necessarily
causing death nothing may come of the
operation but an abcess at the place of inoc-
ulltion, and the animal may remain in all
other respects apparently in perfect health.
This abcess may continue for several weeks !;
the matter discharged from it contains the
organ-microscopic germs Of tho cholera in
abundance; if this matter falls OH the food
of chickens or rabbits living in company
with the infected animals, they may take
the disease fatally. Without knowledge OF
this fact it might be stoutly maintained, and
with apparent reason, by witness of such
mysterious appearance Of the disease, that it
was spontaneous in its origin.

all infected birds will have died. The par.
