Editors Dispatch: In the Wig of the
9TH instant weekly Nautilus" in letter
of oath ultimo, reports speech Of Colonel
Cameron delivered on that day at Horn
town, in this county. / have only to say
this is but "sailor's yarn" rs the authors

did not speak at HOMETOWN! For evidence
refer for truth OF this TO Messrs. Glib,
Chopper, &c, Resdiusters at that place.
He did, however, speak at Chincoteague
that night. "Where, oh where was Berk-
leyf" Doing yeoman service at another
point. Satisfied that Cameron, in conse-
quence Of cold caught while coming down
the bay, could not speak, he wisely went
elsewhere. He was perfectly willing for
him TO 90 alone to Chincoteagle and forth

carry them-and he did. Berkeley made a
splendid impression all through this sec

Correspondence of the Richmond Disps,ch.I
OCTOBER IL, 1881.
Your correspondent has capital joke for
the readers OF the DiSpdtch-a joke which
can only be fully enjoyed by those SC
qIIainted with one OF the oYer-earneSt, un-
wisely-zealous, and active partisan leaders
here who made himself the subject OF the
Joke, or rather Ito HIM serious and stun
ming surprise. The gentleman alluded to,
who is a first-rate fellow, by the way, and
who used to be a good Tenth-Legion DEM
ocrat, but who is now "spouting" extern
siyely for the Republican-Readius ter-Co-
alition ticket OF Cameron & Co., whenever
and wherever he has a chance, and even
sometimes when he hasn't chance, 81 in
season and out of season. was thunder
struck and filled with amazement the other
day in one OF his windy, iubilant
harangues in one OF our stores in town.
According to custom and habit he was
explaining his position in the presence
of a strange, sturdy, substantial Demo-
cratic-Readiuster from the neichboring
county Of Page, and inquired with an air
OF triumph il he knew OF a solitary man
in Page county who had voted the seventh
of-July ticket that would not vote for
Cameron g. Co., declaring that he the
speaker, who knew "almost everybody
down thar,") didn't know and hadn't
heard Of one, and inquired il he the
strangely knew Of one. The gentleman
modestly declared he did. Our friend and
fellow-townsman asked "Whoi" The
independent farmer said: 81 am one,
and outside OF the door there are
three more!" lie then went out
and brought themin, to show the "spOuter"
call four in row" from Page who had
voted for the seventh-of-July ticket, but who
would now all vote for Daniel, Barbour,
and Mckinney IL is useless to say our
friend was taken all aback and filed with
utter surprise, and that he felt like doing
no more spouting that day.

not transacted much business. But two
indictments were found by the grand jury.
This will have been the shortest term, ex-
cept one, when the Judge was called away

The Minnesota Debt.

The Wing says the much-boasted honesty
OF Minnesota Is only proposition TO pay
90 per cent. Of her debt.
That is not the point in the Minnesota
case. The fact 70 be pondered seriously
by the voters Of Virginia is that twenty
years after the debt was repudiated out and
out the people Of Minnesota propose 10 pay
hall OF II. II shows that even II we repu-
date thirteen millions OF our State debt
This year, rs MALONE and RIpDLEBERoRR
propose TO do, our children will have TO
pay al least hall Of what win be due
on that sum, principal and interest, twenty
years hence.-Say, as the interest for twenty
years would be about sI6, OoO, O00 and the
principal Is sla, COOS 900, we should be COM
PEELED 10 pay twenty years hence &l4,50o,-

The Blair Letter..

MIR. RIDDLEBERGER's letter introducing
LEIGH WILSON'S recantation appears in
yesterdays Whig. WILSON makes pretty
mess OF il. lie totally discredits himself
when he asserts that JOHN w. DANIEL and
GEORGE ID. WISE "persuded - him into
this act on promises not fulfilled" These
gentlemen never did any such thing, Of
course. WILSON, however, has proved hin-
sell 70 be totally unworthy OF credence.
The BLAIR letters must stand or fall upon
their own merits. Wilson's testimony is
not worth hearing or printing. AS Messrs.
Mcdowell, FIGGAT, and GOODWIN testified
in yesterdays Dispatch, WILSON to them
charged Mr.. RIDDLEBERGER himself with
worse crimes than those which he makes
against JOHN w. DANIEL and GEORGE d.
WISE. Mr.. RIDDLEBRRGRR, however, takes
pains to let the public know that he puts
no faith in WnsoN's declarations. Mr.. r.
says:
81 do not conceive it to be my duty to
do more or less than transmit all TO the
committee for their Investigation and dis
position. In doing so, ] do not want to be
understood as endorsing any part Of Will
sons letter, or ss accepting bis illusions to
and statements concerning any Of the gem
tlemen therein named"
II il could be proved beyond a doubt
that BLAIR wrote the letters which have
been laid to his charge, that fact would no
doubt damage his reputation and cause
him TO lose votes. As 1t is. the Readiust-
ers will believe him to be innocent, whilst
the Democrats viii believe him 10 be
guilty, and 50 1t Is likely that no votes viii
be gained or lost in consequence of the
charges.
