To the AgricultlTiStS, StOCLmen, Manufdc-
taTerS, Merchants, and Citizens Of Vir-
MIA:
Gentlemen is impossible that every
one whom we would like TO approach in
regard to making display at the State
Fair, commencing November list, can be
interviewed individually, therefore / take
this means OF asking you to give the matter
earnest attention. Unusual efforts are be-
ing put forth to make the Fair an eminent
success, and we have great assurance that
such will be the result. We are doing all
in our power for the accommodation OF eX-
hibitorS and visitors, and for the protec-
ton Of articles placed on exhibition. We
earnestly request, therefore, that you all
endeavor to have on exhibition something
that will add to the attractiveness and in
terest Of the approaching State Fair, and
sincerely hope that you will do your full
part, even though at some sacrifice, to aid
in accomplishing this end, so vital to the
welfare OF the Society and to the interests
OF the whole State.
The officers of the Society would be
glad TO consult with any one who proposes
to make an exhibit. that any special ac-
commodation desired may, if practicable,
be rendered. 1t is hoped that all parties
will notify the secretary as early as posi-
BILE Of their Intention, and the nature OF
exhibit proposed. The entry-books are
now open. Very respectfully,
WILLIAMS {. WICKHAM, President.

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY.

BRENTsvILLE, Va, October ., 1882.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
After long and persistent effort on the
part Of the Mahoneites TO get out crowd
OF colorcd men to hear Peter j. Carter, and
Notwithstanding the Malone leader from
this county had written wildly everywhere
to get the Coalition committee together to-
day to try to depose George c. Round from
the Craftsmanship, the result was that two
members only responded, and both of them
expect office from Malone.
Peter had about dozen colored people
in his audience, all Of whom were evident
ly for Dawson and Wolff except few i'm
ported from adjoining counties. The lat
ter did all the cheering except what he got
from "Bill Prim," darby Beverly
Douglas put into office in Washington, and
whose Democracy oozed out with his Of
ficial pay. Among the whites we noticed
but four Mahoneites-one candidate for
county iudgeship, one candidate for post
master, and two candidates for superin.

white man or colored man outside of

manifest. Carter's speech evidently had
no effect except TO make the Readjnsters

A Question.

The Chicago Times raises again one OF
those questions which northern journals
arc so fond OF raising every now and then.
We quote:
"Who, il the President should die,
would be the President? The answer Is :
David Davis would become President II the
present incumbent OF that Office should die,
abdicate, or be deposcd. But the senate
rial tenure OF Judge Davis will terminate
| on the 4fh of next March. The presiden-
tiaI office having devolved on him by the
death of the previous incumbent, would
the Office then pass from him to another
presiding senator. or would he continue to
be the President to the end OF the presi-
dental termf"
An act Of Congress and the Constitution
of the United States provide for this con-
tingency and answer the question put by
the Times. That Constitution provides in
effect that a President pro tenn. OF the Sem
ate who shall become President OF the
United States shall serve "until the disa-
bilty be removed or a President shall be
elected" II. therefore, the President OF
the United States has died, the President
pro tenn. OF the Senate succeeds for the full
term, unless there be special election held
for new President of the United States,
which the act Of Congress provides shall be
done unless the term OF the deceased or
disabled President ends on the 4th OF March
next after the accession Of the President
Dro tenn. of the Senate to the office. As to the
rest, il would be ridiculous in the successor
OF the latter in the presidency of the Senate
to claim to supersede him as President OF
the United States; for to allow this would
be mere child's play, seeing that Presi-
dent pro tenn. must be elected as soon as the
one lately in office has become President Of
the United States, and that il one Presi-
dent pro ten. could so succeed to the
presidency OF the United States dozen or
hundred could do so, and there could,
therefore, be no President of the United
States and no President pro tenn. OF the
Senate.

way in which the voters can emancipate
themselves from the corrupt and de-
basing rule OF machine Is TO de-
feat It's candidates. This believe will be
done decisively by the Republican voters
of New. York and Pennsylvania at the
election of this autumn. They will see
their party defeated rather than fraud and
the corruption Of patronage triumphant.
Events i'm both States show that no graver
political peril now confronts the country
than the complete subiugation Of party by
INSCRIPTIONS cabals which bride with
public employment and pay their way by
filching from the public treasury. This Is
an evil which will end in violence unless It
Is conclusively rebuked by the people at
the polls. Yours very truly,

Stalwartism in New York.

The condition of stalwartism in New
York is well indicated by the Republican,
the Washington organ OF MALONE, C0NK-
LING, ARTHUR, CAMERON, and other Stall
warts, when it announces rs II by autho-
rity that Mr.. CONKLING will make no
speeches during the present campaign
"Dear GEORGE" does not say so, but it is
none the less true that canvass of New
York by Mr.. CoNKLING would damage
Judge FOLGER more than it would benefit
him. The circumstances under which
Judge FoLGER'was made the Republican
nominee for Governor were such as to call
forth vigorous protests against his candi-
dacv not only from HENRY WARD BEEcAER,
the Young Mems Republican Association
OF Brooklyn, and others not usually active
in political contests, but from influential,
not to say the most influential, journals in
the Empire State.
The vote in the State Central Committee
was IS for FOLGER to IA against. But OF
the IS, two were fraudulent votes. Add
these to the II, and substract them
from the IS, and it is easy to see that the
committee was tied as between the Admin
istration's favorite and his competitors,
But when you consider the influence
which the casting of Collector RO
DERTsoN's vote for Judge FOLGER mus
have had upon the committee, it is no
too much to claim that, though Judge
FOLGER is innocent OF crime himself, hi
candidacy Is tainted with fraud. His let
ter Of acceptance admits all that anybod!
need charge upon the Stalwarts in respec
OF their unjustifable and wholly undcm
ocratic method OF securing the nomination
OF their favorite for Governor. Judg
FOLGER argues that il is too late for tn
Republicans to hold new Convention ant
nominate new candidate; declares tina
he Is himself innocent, and therefore &C
cents the nomination rather than se tn
unwilling cause Of the defeat OF the Il,
publican party.
Under these circumstances, the CORY
PHEUs OF the Stalwarts must needs alloy
somebody else to lead his chosen bant
Mr.. CONKLNG must not, like ACHILLES
sulk In his tent until the supreme momen
and then come forth TO battle and to vic
tory, but he must keep himself out OF sigh
until the battle is over and the victor
won. His faithful myrmidons," how
ever, will not fail to be i'm the fore front
the battle. CONKLING, himself, is perhar
the only man whose presence upo
the stump would drive of all III
BLAINE Republican voters and render Fol
GERS defeat an irretrievable disaster to ii
Republican party. The Stalwarts are tc
shrewd to court defeat Of that sort. The
will probably have to retreat, and this the
can bear; but that that retreat shall be col
verted into disastrous rout they wi
never consent. In order to prevent tn
last, Roscoe CoN1LING will hold his peac
for the next five weeks.

let ms reason together. Let us have
candid talk with the dissatisfied. The Dc
.mocrats will probably carry the First,
Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth
congressional districts. Mr.. FuLKERsoS
may carry will carry, II NEwBERRY with
>draws-the Ninth district. DEzESDoRF,
-Straightout Republican, may carry the Sec
.ond district. The only district LETT, and
which the Coxlitionists will OF course carry,
Ia the Fourth. Now, shall JOIN 5. WISE
be electeds II so, and the rest OF this fore
east Of the results be verified, he and
HOOPER will be the only two Administra'
lion candidates elected to Congress from
Virginia.
But will JOIN S. WISE beat MASSEY
How is II possible for him to do so II the
Democrats carry six OF the congressional
districts. and the S.raightout Republicans
and FuLKERsoN carry two OF the other
threey How. Simply by the refusal OF
men voting for GARRISON, GEORGE WISE,
CABEII, TUCKER, O'FERRALL, and BAR
poug. to vote for MASSEY. In no other
way. There may possibly be lew thou
sand such strait-laced Democrats IN the
State. and these may by their pertinacious
opposition 10 the action recommended oy
nine-,enths Of their Democratic brethren
involve the Democratic party in what MA
HONE will surely claim as an inglorious de-
feat.
Yes: that Is the choice now before the
anti.MAssEY Democrats. john ). WISE ana
JOHN f. MASSEY are the only candidates
running all over the State. The congress
sional districts might all go against MA
HOMES candidates, and yet, il JOHN >.
WISE should be elected, MALONE would
claim that he still held Virginia in his
hands. And we repeat that il Virginia Is
thus left in his hands il will be the fault OF
the anti-MAssEY Democrats-of the Old
Guard.
Is il not certain, then, that refusal TO
vote for Massey is equivalent to casting 4
hali-votc for MAH0NEs Isn't your refusal
q reflection, too, upon the tens OF thou
sands Of Democrats who are actively work
ing for MAssEY's election? Isn't it in the
nature OF reproach to the "Famous
Five? Isn't it reproof to JOHN w.
DANIEL, GEORGE d. WISE, RAN. TUCKER,
BARBOUR, CABELL, KELLEY, CoGHIIL,
O'FERRALL, EARLY, KoINER, SKINNER,
THURMAN, Hurt, EDMUlDs, and all the rest
OF the immense host OF good and true
Democrats who are speaking for MASSEY!
Men and brethren, this will not do. You
must conquer your preiudices.

The statement was flashed up from Rich
mond Yesterday that McSsrs. Charles II.
Hickey. j. l.. Tyack, and l.. b. Conway,
who had been serving rs school trustees
for several years most acccptably, had been
removed by the Board Of Education, and
that Judge-elect j. ID. Blackwell and
Mcssrs. r. l.. dickson aud Il. F. Jennings
had been appointed. II is said that the
complaint made against the parties re-
moved is that the records failed to show
that they had taken the oath Of Office within
thirty days after appointment. Neither
Superintendent Dame nor any Of the par
ties removed had received any notice that
such action was proposed. | am told that
the parties had not taken the oath because
they did not think that they were holding
State office. Blackwell and Jennings are
