TIE CANVASS IN ROCKINGHAM, &C., &C.
Correspondence Of The Richmond Dispatch.l
NOVEMBER !. 1881.
The canvass i'm Rockingham county, an
exceedingly important point in the great
struggle to come of next Tuesday, is still
being prosecuted with zeal and ardOr by
both parties. Phe CoaitiOniSts have evil
IDENTITY set their hearts on carrying this
stronghold Of the Democracy, while the
inyincible and lion-hearted men OF princi-
Die will not yield an inch OF the ground
they occupy. Hon. John Paul, tireless
worker and a gentleman Of great personal
popularity amongst his peculiar followers,
is deyoting the closing week OF the cam
paign TO his native county. But the De-
mocracy now pay but little attention TO
his passionate appeals to them TO basely de-
sert their party and their time-honored
principles as "BOss" Malone, Riddle
berger Il Co. have done, and go over to
the Republican or Coalition party. The
effort now is TO keep their coalition COM
pact and intact. 1t is gratifying to know
that every day now Democratic Read
busters respectfully decline TO muster
longer in the Coalition ranks. They have
not very lately been getting any Democrats
to shut their eyes and go it blind for Cam
eron & Co. The books OF registration in
the county show marked increase in the
vote that will be cast. The Democrats will
be the gamers by the increased rcgistra-
ton everywhere, except, perhaps, in IIsr-
riSOnburg, where there is a sort OF concen-
tration OF the colored vote, and where the
leading Republicans have been and are eX-
cecdingly active and Jealous. Our inteiii-
gent friends still confidently think the
Democrats will carry the county.
We have had splendid, gentle rains for a
few days, refreshing nature and giving in
creased yigor and impulse to the growing,
Swinging wheat. The weather is as mild
a. il is ordinarily in the spring or in early
autumn.
The County Institute, composed Of all
the public free-scheol teachers in Rocking
ham, will meet here to-day, and continue
in session for several days. Rockingham
has right to be proud OF her well-disci-
phned corps OF intelligent instructors OF
both sexes and OF both color5. We have
about sixty-fiye male and the same
number Of female teachers in the county
some Of the female educators standing at
the head OF the profession.
Simon s. Hartman, an independent
farmer, one Of the Oldest OF the ancient
stagc-drivers in Virginia, died at his resi-
dence, near Rawley Springs, in west Rock
ingham county, on Monday afternoon last,
aged upwards OF eighty-two years. Some
Of the Richmond visitors to Rawley during
the last and other seasons will remember
MIR. Hartman. whose geniality, sociality,
and hospitality were marked and special
phases OF his character.
Judge Birds Circuit Court for Rocking
ham county has been in session here since
Tuesday OF last week. 1t will adjourn on
saturday until after the election, and finally
for this term il the Judge gets through
with its business.

vho Corfcdornte Cotton Loan.

The money resulting from the Coincide
rate cotton loan was not advanced because
the people who took the bonds had SYM
patby with the southern States, but because
we needed the cotton; and before making
the advance pains were taken TO ascertain
from the highest legal authorities that it
was perfectly legitimate transaction, and
that there was nothing TO prevent any
Of our merchants agreeing TO it. The
cotton on which the loan was secured was
taken by the United States, who therefore
remain subject to all the agreements made
in respect Of it by the COniederatcs. There
is not much chance OF this view being adj
mitted by the United States; but - it IS
vouched for by so high legal authority as
Lord IIatherly, it may be worth mention.

Closing the Door to New York Street



fDcs honcs Qowal Regisier.I
IT is fine thing to gather upstreet-waiis
in New York city and send them West i'm
the belief that when removed from the cor
rupting influences OF q great city they will
grow up 10 become honest men and wor-
thy citizens. Some years ago several hun
dred OF these New York gamins were sent
TO Iowa. The prediction was made in the
Register that some Of them would prove
about as valuable impOrta'iOns as the Cam
ada thistle. So now il appears that some
OF them have gone into the business Of
train-wrecking. The evidence is said to be
clear beyond doubt that the wrecklng OF
the train recently on the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids and Northern road was the work Of
some OF these former street waits. This
shows that "biOOd will tell" Adopted into
good country homes and reared amid good
surroundings, these street waits break
forth into crime at the first opportunity.
Coming TO Iowa, they changed their sky
but not their nature. Perhaps Ittlc can
be done 20 prevent these impOrtatiOns,
as this is a free country, and chill
drcn a. well as men can come into Iowa
without q passport. The lesson is an in
stIuctive one, however, to the good people
who arc willing 10 adopt children into
their OVID families. Let them look about
among the poor and orphaned children Of
their own ncighborhOOd before adopting
street walls who were born with the IL
stincts as well a. the blood OF criminals.
Otherwise they may find, as some
good people already have, that they
have spent years OF kindly care rear
ing train-wrcckcrs. Charity begins at
home. and, while if does not end there, IL
would certainly be wise for people wishing
to adopt children TO think carefully Of all
the poor and orphaned ones in their own
community and Of their own acquaintance
before layishing what is too often mis-
taken generosity on the children OF crime
taken from the streets OF great cities.
