The virginian for the Campaign.
REDUCTION OF RATES.

In order that the VIRGINIAN may penetrate
every section of the State during the approach
ing campaign, we have concluded to put the
price down to the very lowest rates, SO that
all may have an opportunity of subscribing.
The paper has now the largest bona tide circu1a-
ton of the weeklies published in Virginia and
every day new names are added to its lists
The aim of its proprietors is to make it true
exponent of Republican principles, and a
newspaper worthy of the support of fair
minded men of every political creed. Its col
umns will always contain well written edito-
rails on political and other subjects, tele
graphic and news items fresh and reliable, &C
curate and non partizan reports of political
speeches, meetings &C.. and full record Of
local events.
For the approaching campaign it will be the
most valuable as well as the cheapest paper
published in Virginia.
THE VIRGINIAN will be sent postpaid to
ubscribers during the campaign at the follow
ing rates: Y

Court DAY-The writer of this paragraph
did not hear the speeches of Maj. Daniel and
Col. Cameron on Monday last, other engage
ments preventing. We observed, however
after the discussion had closed that both par
ties were well satisfied with their champions,
and more particularly the Re-adjusters. There
Was q stronger Re-adjuster sentiment mani
Tested than we expected to see, indicating
the sticking qualities of most of those
who supported the Electoral ticket of that
faction of last fall. A similar condition OF
public sentiment We noted in Harrisonburg on
Monday of last week. This, with a strong
tendency on the part of most of the Republi-
cans to support that faction, as between it and
the Bourbons, points to very close contest
if . corresponding condition of things exists
in other portions of the State.

WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIvERsITY.-We
are glad to learn that the prospects of large
attendance at the Washington & Lee Univer-
sity, for the approaching session, are excel
lent. This time honored school now ranks
among the foremost of our educational institu-
tions. and its increased facilities, obtained by
the liberality of the late Thos. Scott and
others, will enable it to offer advantages of a
very superior character, which taken In con-
nection with its healthful and beautiful loca-
ton. and the economy which its students may
practice, should ensure for it the abundant sue
cess it SO richly deserves. We should not be
surprised if Its roll for 81-82 were the largest
in its history.

SHOT DEAD.-Sunday evening last at the
Ridgway House, Waynesboro, Mr.. Kirk
Kidder, OF Liberty, KY, was shot dead by
Mr.. Wm. Bassett, of Hanover county, Va,
but recently q brakeman on the Shenan-
doah Valley Railroad. The ball entered
the body below the left nipple. causing death
In few moments. 1t seems that light
and foolish statement had been made by
a'young lady duplicating Mr.. Bassett in
improper conduct. Mr.. Kidder had repeated
itin confidence to several acquaintances until
It finally reached Bassett. He approached
Nj. Kidder. with the question, why he was
circulating infamous lies about him, striking
him across the face with a stick. The two
clinched and while the scutile was going on.
Bassett drew his pistol and fired, with the
result above stated. Mr.. Kidder was repre-
senttng beehive patent and was boarding
at the Ridgeway House with his wife.
The origin of the difficulty was a thought
less and very imprudent remark of the
young lady in question, terminating in a
tragedy that all must seriously regret.
