THE HEAVENS FOR JULY-July displays
on its record the advent of two full moons
and is the only month in the year honored
with this distinction There was full moon
on the LIST and there will be another on the
Both. Venus is the most brilliant evening
star this month as Jupiter is the most brilli-
ant morning star. On the 18th, Venus is in
conjunction with Al pha Leonis, or Regulus,
the bright star near the eciptic that often
comes in the way Of the passing planets; the
same star that was nearer Mars during the
last month. Venus passes a little more
than one degree north Of Regulus, If the
evening Of the 18th be clear no direction
will be needed for observing the conjunction.
The tairest of the stars will be recognized in
the west at glance, and Alpha Leonis will
be seen shining with lesser glory about a
degree, twice the diameter Of the moon, to
the South. Planets and stars reach their
nearest approach at o'clock in the after
noon, but they will be sufficiently near in
the evening TO be worth watching. The first
half of this month we have what is called
the harvest moon," the moon rising sever
al consecutive nights but twenty minutes or
half hour later insead of an hour. This pro-
longing of the moons light is often a great
advantage to the haryesters

PLAINS STATION, July S.-Harvest is well
nigh over, and the characteristic croakins
OF the farmer must for once he stopped by
the abundant yield. In spite of the army
worm, green midget aud other enemies OF
vegetation, the wheat cropis unusually fine,
and this fact must be admitted by the most
respondent agriculturist.
Many of our farmers have used the reapers
with self-binders and find them in all re-
spects desirable. They not only save the
crop with fewer hands, but insure its being
raked more thoroughly. .

The Petersburg Difficulties.

The charmen ofthe different committees,
appointed by the Re;ldjuslcrs' Council of
Petersburg have published card notifying
the public that no bills made or debts con-
tracted by any persons except those author
lied by the Common Council now organized
will be received audited, or paid by said
Council. This notice caused the entire
street force and several other officers elect
ed by the retiring Democratic Council to re-
sign their places. Both police forces are
still on duty. Those appointed by the
Democratic council are determined to hold
their places until the present complication
is settled by the courts, whether they receive
pay from the city or not. Yesterday the
Board Of Overseers of the Poor appointed by
the Readjuster Council, on which are three
colored men, made a formal demand for the
city almshouse, which the superintendent
elected by the outgoing Council had refused
to surrender. 1t is reported that the Demo-
Gratis will apply to Judge Mann for an in
junction restraining Emmett w. Couch, the
Readjuster treasurer, from paying any funds
of the city until the question whether he is
legally elected be determined by the courts.

regard for the public service, SO far as dis
closed by the public record and, still more
remarkable, that the President had made
but one removal in Virginia. Then the

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING, JULY s, 1882.

THE MEETING of the Democratic State
Committee, at Richmond, on the 10Th inst,
will be one of more than ordinary i'm
portance, involving something more than
the mere calling Of a convention. or the
naming of a candidate for Congress for the
State at large. The important question,
how to organize and get out the vote ncccs-
sary to elect, is paramount to all others 1t
is believed that in the past the fault has not
been with the State Committee, for they
have gone the full length of their authority
III furnishing plans and instructions for
organization The remedy must be applied
in another direction. The city and county
committees want reorganization, and to that
end the state Committee, by resolution.
should at once recommend meetings to be
held in every city and county in the State for
the election of new committees, by which
means those unfit for the positions they now
hold will be gotten rid of and those whose
records in the past justify Il continuance be
retained. In the last Gubernatorial election
large number of the county chairmen did
good service, executing in every detail all
of the instructions emanating from the State
Committee. These counties made handsome
gains. In very large number of counties,
on the contrary, no regard was paid to Or
ganization, trusting to good luck for sue
cess in these losses nearly balanced gains
1t is folly to attempt organization unless ii
be thorough and ar-reaching. The same
system should prevail in 'cvey county and
city in the State. In this way success will
be achieved, and in no other.
