c. Sanders Joseph Haight, g. NJ, Williams, Hiram
Merritt, j. r. Foster, j. NJ. Requa, Willy Waliach
and Joseph Setback.

sembly by l. I. Hayes for facilitating the widening
of West-st were considered at length, and resoiu-
ton instructing the legislative committee to urge
the passage of the bill by all proper means was
adopted. resolution was passed declaring that
the Assembly bill relating 10 the Department. OF
Docks as reported by the Committee of the Assem-.
bly, on Affairs of Cities is an unwarrantable and
unjustitiable substitute for the original bill
referred to the committee; and one which
81 adopted will substantially defeat the salutary OBJ
iccts and purposes intended to be accomplished by
the original bill 1t is also declared that the pro-
visions of the substitute IN effect permit the con-
finuafion of the gross abuses which have been here
fofore perpetrated in the management of the Dock
Department. Another resolution, Directing to the
Senate bill for enlarging and rebuilding Washing
ton Market, and instiucting the Committee on Leg
islation to oppose its passage, was adopted.

The indignant withdrawal of Mr.. John
Cosby, prominent Readjuster of Halifax
county, from the position of canvasser for
the Independent ticket in that congress
sional district is a sharp illustration of the
revulsion caused in the minds of Demo-
cratic Readjusters by the tendency of their
leaders towards Radicallsm. He was the
Secretary Of the Readjuster convention
which nominated Stovail for congress. In
letter to the Halifax "kecord" dated
Aug. 10Th, Mr.. Cosby says:
When Mr.. Stovall rose and said he was a
Readjuster and meant to vote for Garfield
& Co., (which sentiment was applauded)
felt there was no need Of any explanation,
for if he could vote for Garfield and Ar
thur, and remain Readiuster, surely /
could vote for Cabell and Hancock and re-
main Readjuster- if not more so!
In other words, my being Readjuster
does not prohibit my voting with the reg
ular Conservative party of this State iii
national affairs. And in doing so | have
not thu hit it my duty to abuse or in any
wise be offensive TO any OF my friends II
hope they are still my frieuds) OF the Re
adjuster party. have acted from strong
sense OF duty. JOHN COSBY
1t would appear from the frequent resig-
nations we have to chronicle OF canvassers
for the Independent ticket that the leaders
of that cause have been greatly msled as
to the sentiment of the .Rsadjusters on
that point. We see that DR.. Thos. Dill
lard, canvasser for the Independent ticket
for Campbell county authorizes the Lynch
burg 'Virginian" to say that his name
was used without his consent and that he
will support the regular Democratic tick
ct, and in the same paper we find that of
the Independent canvassers appointed for
Campbell and Bedford five have already
resigned. The tables seem to have been
turned; at first it was the Democratic cleo
toral ticket that received designations, but
now that that is solid and firm the canvass
ers for the Inde pendent ticket seem to be
falling away like leaves.

pleasant occasion may not prove uninter-

and the proceeds are to be applied to much
needle repairs on the church edifice.
The attendance during the day was not
large, but at night there were between
three and four hundred persons present.
Provisions, both substantials and delica-
cles, were abundant, and the bill OF fare
such that the most fastidious palate could
not fail to approve, and reflected great
credit on the caterers. The cake for the
most popular young lady was voted to
Miss Jennie Hanger, a well deserved COM
pliment. That for the ugliest man to Mr..

We suppose that no Democrat who has
read the party history of the two Han
cock tickets now before the people has any
doubt which is the regular Democratic
ticket. Our Readjuster friends may persist
in voting the 18th of July ticket, but those
that do will do so because it was chosen
by Readjuster Convention and not be-
cause it is Democratic ticket or has any
connection with the National Democratic
party. You can run over it in minute.
The Democratic State Central Committee
met regularly. Among its members pres
ent and who voted and took part in its
proceedings even voting on naming the date
OF assembling for the Convention of May
10Th, were three distinguished Readjusters
DIR. Wise and Gen. Groner and one other
Readjusters then aoithdreao. The commit
tee went on regularly and called the Con-
vention of 10Th Of May. 1t next appointed
delegates to Cincinnati including plomi-
nent Readjusters and electors including
prominent Readj listers. On the other
hand the Readjaster State Convention
met as Rednjusters mot as Democrats) ac-
cording to the official call, its deliberations
we're participated in by Republicans white
and black and its Hancock electoral ticket
was nominated as a Readiuster mot as
Democratic) electoral ticket. No one III
authority put forward even pretence OF
lo;., 4, ,,,,.t of tho National DemOcl attic
and the Richmond "Whig"
it's ruling organ says eve are not standing
on any National Democratic platform.
We are not supporting the Democratic
nominees, nor the Cincinnati nominee
These facts that cannot be controverted
ought to put stop to any appeals for sup
port to the independent electoral ticket
from Democrats on the ground that they
are Democrats.

VICTORY FOR A HOMEMADE PLow.-
A few days since competitive trial of
plows was made at the 'Glenwood' farm
In Madison county. The trial was made
on stubble land, very hard and dry, too
much so to do good work with ordinary
plows. The plows were first tried with
three horses and an AVERAGE depth of fur
row at nine inches, and then with two
horses at an average depth of eight inches.
The committee composed of Messrs. G. S
Newman, G.. w. Reedy, B. F. Davis, j.
NJ. Goode and S. B. Hensen made report,
of which the following is the conclusion ::
Gin conclusion, the committee feel called
upon to say that three of these plows, to
wit-the Roland, OLIVER and Leader, are
of such high price, without possessing
corresponding superior merit over the Vlr-
ginia chilled pillow, that we cannot recon-
mend their purchase by the farmers of our
community" AS the Virginia chilled is

competition is matter of personal con-

Colonel Frederick Dent Grant, A. D. c.,

Duke, was nominated for the third term.

morning, the Colonel grew impatient at
some delay in the serving of his breakfast

Deighboring plate, hurled the missile di-
rectly at the head of colored waiter. The
roll hit the waiter between the eyes. In
the midst of the sensation caused by this
Southern outrage the imperial Frederick
was arrested, and not until lot of his as
sociates had apologized would the officers
release him.

Nothing is needed to show the absur-

taking the census at the South but the
statement that large majority of the su-

were Republicans.
