AT JoncsvilIe Daniel had about 100
voters to hear him. The remainder Of
the audience consisted Of ladies and
boys. lie made three and quarter
hour speech, and lost votes by his visit
to Lee and Scott. DIR. MontcirO told an
anecdote that disgusted the old Regular
Baptists, who are very numerous in Lee.
Throughout the trip Daniel was accom-
panied by Mr.. Arthur 0. Sullivan, but
the Brass Band was missing. We have
numerous reports from his appoint
ments, aud with one single exception "a
funder) we are told he lost votes. Our
Funder informant says he brought tears
from the old men at Stony Greek. But
as this is campaign of business and not
of sentiment, he will find that tears
would better cOmpOrt with the era when
he has his stamp tax and torch In full
operation In the great South west.
Daniel returned to Eastern Va. last

thus the rich mans coupon would be
killed, and the schools saved every dol
lar due them. But the Funder loves the
coupon better than he does the children
of the State aud the schools provided for
them, hence their hatred of the Barbour
Bill, the Massey Bill. and Riddlebcrger
bill. An honest Readjuster Auditor has
done much to restore the schools in spite
of the Funders and their coupons. Let
the people back him by electing n Read
juster Legislature and Governor, and
the schools will De fully sustained.-

The October Moon.

The Octoberm moon fulls on the 7th.-
On the 9th, two days after the full. she
is in conjunction with Saturn and Nep.
tune. On the 10Th she pays her respects
to Jupiter, passing two degrees and a
half south. On the 18th she is near
Mars, and on the 18th she is near Jupiter.
On the goth, two days before her change,
she pays homage to venus, and waning
moon and planet will be lovely to behold
as they anticipate the dawn. On the
2lth the two days old moon will pass a
degree and A. half north of Mercury and
serve TO point ont his position. The Oc-
t0ber full moon is sometimes called the
Hunters Moon, as her consecutive early
rising was supposed to be u help to the
sportsman in continuing the light to help
him on his way. There is nearly the
same deviation from the average diff
ference in rising as there was last month
in the Harvest Noon. For four nights
after the full moon rises with an average
difference of thirty-eight minutes, which
Is particularly acceptable at the season
of the Near when there is scarcely any

Mr.. fudge who is running against
Mr.. Bailey for the Senate is at least bold
and frank in stating his position. He
declared last Saturday at Glade Spring,
that he was for continuing the poll-tax
pre- requisite at the ballot box. He is
for continuing the whipping post, for
abolishing the present County Court
Judges, and restoring the old bench of
magistrates. lie declares himself OPP
posed to the Barbour Bill, the Massey
School Bill, the Riddlebergcr Bill, sus-
tains Holidays vetoes, and IN short, is
an out-and-out unsugared Fundcr.

ItcsDPCt Woman,

There is nothing manly, my dear boys
IN making light of women. For your
mothers sake, honor the sex. Never
use u lady's KANE IN nm improper place;
or ut al improper time, or in mixed COM
pany. Never make assertions about her
that you think are untrue, illusions that
you feel she herself would blush to hear.
When you meet with men who do not
scruple TO make Use of woman's name IN
II reckless and unprincipled manner,
shun them, for they are the very worst
members Of the COmmunity--men lost TO
every sense OF honor, every feeling of
humanity. Many n good aud worthy
wOman's character has been forever
ruined and her heart broken by lie con-
cocted by an unprincipled villain, but
believed bypeoplc of good principles who
are too ready 10 believe Islander or con-
denim imprudenco and crime. The
smallest thing derogatory to n woman's
character will NY on the wings of the
wind, aud magnify M II crculates, until
It's weight brushes the poor unconscious
victim. Remember this if you are
tempted to repeat or listen to a scandal
Gus lie.

A startling Prayer.

The following striking petition was
sent to the Almighty for the restoration
of Garfield, just before his death, at a
Mendoza (lll,) prayer-meeting. 1t was
offered by an old lady; 80 Lerd, come
down; come forthwith and doctor our
President. OLord, let Thy mercy hover
around that hole in the Presidents back
and cause it to come to head. Let Thy
love enter the hole and tussel and wrestle
with the pus, Lord. Yes Lord, wrestle
with the pus aud bring it forth, all for
Thy glory. And, Lord, If Thy wrath
can get around the ball, roll her out for
the Redeemer's sake. Amen" OF all
prayers offered for the recovery of Gar

joined have our forces been so numer-
Gus and determined, or ever skies so

fChasseur (Alex. Hunter) in letter from
Virginia to Washington Capital
There never was in the history of the
State greater sensation than the publ
cation Of these alleged letters. At first
1t seemed to paralyze the Rcadjuster par
ty, and the Funders raised shout of cX-
ultant victory; but the whole thing was
bunglingly managed and the trap sprung
too soon. If they were simply cam
paign canard intended to influence the
| election, they should have come out lust
on the eve of election, so that Blair would
not have had time to deny their paterni-
~, and with the mitigation of the people
the regular Democracy could have swept
the State like whirlwind; but the polit-
ical managers who are running the
machine now are the identical ones who
ran 1t in disastrous campaign of 70, aud
II there is q chance to make a blunder
they will hunt it out. AS it is now
Blair's solemn denials have convinced
his own party, aud they are fierce in
their denunciation of what they charac-
terize Funder lie; and so the bombshcll
exploded, causing temporary conster-
nation, but doing no real damage.
But even il the letters are genuine,

Decided At Last.
Robert Wyii~ IL The Judge.

The contested judgeship case between
G. w. Easily and Robert Wylie, has been
decided in favor of Judge Wylie, thus
affirming the decision of Judge Fulton.
This decision we think meets the APP
probation of the bar and the people who
are not blinded by prejudice and party
zeal. Judge Wylie has been kept out
the office now for nearly year, by q
vain effort on the part of the Funders
who participated in affair, to thwart the
will of the people.
Geo. W. Easily, we suppose will now
step down and out, and Judge Wylie
will resume his seat.
This is another terrible blow to Fun
derism in this county, and may be the
death to few of the stalwarts. "The
