We said that Funderism last year did its
worst in denouncing the Read!usters as the
"nigger party" but that the fleet OF TINS
was the reverse Of that Intended wing.
Ii the Conservatives last year denounced
the Readjusters as the "nigger party" us
we do not by any means admit that they did,
and a. we think the Wing would experience
no little difficulty in proving, il is very
strange that the Wing should have so often
tried TO make it appear that the Conserya-
tlves received large number-eyen as
much as one third-of the negro votes.
Our neighbor says that when 1t declared
that the effect was the reverse OF that in
tended, il meant that the whites did not de-
sert the Readjusters but stood all the more
firmly to their colors. You are entitled TO
state your meaning but we are sure you
owe us thanks for giving you chance to
state IL.

AFTERNOON SESSION.


After the recess .he Committee on Gre

wrangling, was adopted. The Committee
OIL Permanent Organization reported, max
ing A. b. Parker permanent chairman,
DIR. Points, secretary, and number OF men
as presidents. DIR. ). A. Niche moved
10 amend this report by inserting the name
OF ex-senator John +. Lewis for. that OF A.
d. Parker. Lewis was elected--the vote
standing Lewis, Il; Parker, 81. The re-
| port as amended was adopted. DR.. Points
declined the secreteryship, and X. u. ROD
iu>ou (eoored), editor Of The Virginia Post.
was elected in his stead. A number oil
resolutions were offered by DIR. Points, one
Of them declaring that II IS inexpedient to
make nomination ia This district. This
excited & bitter debate, in which DR.. POINTS
declared that II was proposed to carry tue
state Of Virginia by taking advantage OF
the discussions in the Democratic party OF
| Virginia.

NIGHT SESSION.

NIGHT SESSION.
The Convention met again at night, but
utterly failed TO come 10 vote on the reso-
luton before it--viZ., Is IL ineXpedient to
nominaieY it was believed that majority
OF the Convention was favorable TO a nom-
nation, but flibu>tering, led by Early and
participated in by Foster (colored), Dr..
Points, and many others, prevented the dis
patching Of this or Of any other business.
Speeches were made by everybody, and at
times the whole Convention was on the
floor Yelling "Mr. Cha'rman!" In a
very staiwart speech Senator Early de-
clared that he felt himself under no sort OF
obligation TO the Democrats OF this State
senatorial district for sending him TO the
Senate. He hated Bourbon then as he
hates them now. At one time, when Mr..
Porter, who came here from the North,
was in the chair, and his ruling dis
pleased A. b. Parker. the latter yo-
cIferously declared that he would not be
governed by the decision Of any "Iankee
jlck." AT another time charges were made
that the Fluvanna delegate had accepted
brides for the vote OF FIuvanna and GoOch-
land. The delegate denied the soft i'm
parchment, when DR.. Points declared that
he had given him $40 10 vote one way
against nominalIoD), and the delegate
had been bribed beforehand with $40 10
vote another, which he had done. The
delegate denied this perSisiently, claiming
be was too much OF gentleman TO accept
a bribe. 1t is impossible TO give an idea OF
the bedlam which prevailed all this time
at times il seemed the thing Tor Convention,
if you chOOse) would break up in general
row, and q f,iicuff between Parker and
Foster (both col0red) was only prevented by
tue interference Of bystanders. Several gen.
tlemen Of this place remained on the scene
until the adjournment OF the Convention,
at about O'Clock Thursday morning, just
10 see the animals fight. After much wrang-
ling Lewis and Porter decided the Conyen-
ton adjourned, when George W. Fisher
(cOlored) took the chair, and A. b. Parker
nominated Mr.. S. NJ. Yost, Of the Staunton
Vrginidn, for Congress from this Qhe
Seventy district. The Convention voted
in favor of the nomination. II was impOs-
sible to discover whether Chairman Lewis
declared the Convention adjourned by Il
vote, or by his own sovereign will.
After the nomination the hall was speedily
vacated, and Parker left with the satisfac-
iion that be had carried his point. 1t is easy
to be seen by this meagre report that the
Convention was very remarkable body in
more respects than one. The negroes ut
terly routed the white Republicans. They
declared that they were able 10 take care OF
and proposed TO do it; and they
did.
To-day is circus-day, and there are thou
sands OF people here.
