Correspondence OF The Richmond Dispatch.l
JANUARY -, 1888.
Professor Winston delivered two lectures
this week for the Roman Eagle Lyceum on
Old King Coal and His Family" The
audiences were large and seemed deeply in
terested, and il was pleasant to observe
that there were present quite number OF
young people from the several schools.
The ladies OF the Episcopal church pro-
pose 10 have m iron fence put around their
church building, and are raising money for
that purpose.
The Presbvterians are also arranging TO
have their church building succeed, and
have Il subscription Of S1,500 for that pur-
pose. They will first have the front side
walk and the walks in the yard paved, then
the stuc DING done, and then an iron fence
put around the building. At meeting Of
the congregation the Building Committee
reported that the new building had cost
$4,000, and that that account had been
paid. and that the church was free from in
debtedneSs on any account.
The Ladies' Mite Society Of the Baptist
church. assisted by q number OF friends
from the other churches, have been pre-
pairing for some time 10 give the oratorio
OF Queen Esther, and announce tint they
are now ready for the public exhibition.

WHITE HALL, VA, January %, 1888.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Should the appointment for iudgeShip be
given Paul, and a new election lie ordered
10 fill the vacancy $50 termed) in the Seventh
congressional district, what part would it
be wise for the Democratic party to takel
Should we run O'Ferrall again? would
thereby virtually concede his previous
defeat il we put up some one else, and to
elect him it would antagonize the present
contested seat. Yours, &c, INQUIRER.
A few years ago there was a contest as to
the seat of one Of the gentlemen returned
TO the House Of Delegates from Augusta
county. Before the time arrived for the
House OF Delegates to meet, the gentleman
holding the certificate Of election either
died or resigned, and Governor KEMPER,
without due reflection, issued writ Of
election to fill the assumed vacancy. Upon
mature consideration Of the question he
withdrew the writ, concluding that it was
the right of the House of Delegates itself
to decide whether there was vacancy OF
not So in the case before us. PAUL's
resignation would leave the contest
exactly as it is. Governor CAMERON
might assume that there was va
cancy and order new election; but
such action on his part would not in the
slightest degree prejudice Mr.. O'FERRALL's
claim to the seat In the House Of Repre-
sentatlves to which he was in his opinion
elected last fail. Nor do we think that II
would prejudice his claim for him to run
again. II some other Democrat were to
take the field and be elected. then, as our
correspondent suggests, Mr.. OFERRALL
might lose the sympathy OF that Democrat
and his friends in the contest with Mr.
PAUL.
On the whole, we conclude that il
Governor CAMERON should assume to de-
eide the contest in favor OF PAUL and Or
der new election, Mr.. OFERRALL ought
10 be the Democratic candidate. II he were
elected, ii would end the present contest,
seeing that PAUL would have resigned his
right TO the seat, and that no other person
could dispute Mr.. 0'FERRALL's title TO it.
II the House OF Representatives should
afterwards decide that PAUL had been
elected, the fact Of bis resignation would
justify Governor CAMER0N's action and
make the second election OF O'FERRALL
thc case supposed valid one.

Elsewhere il announced the final trans
fer Of the Virginia Midland railroad to tho
Richmond and Danyille system. In view
OF the extraordinary interest which was
taken by the Baltimore papers in the lasi
election OF Midland directors, the follow
ing comment from the Americdn would
seem to contain pertinent suggestion to
our Richmond merchants
Now that the Virginia Midland railroad
has passed into the full possession OF the
Richmond aud Danville managers, it re-
mains TO be seen what they will do with II.
This is a question OF very decided import
ance TO Baltimore. for il the syndicate con-
tinucs to exercise its determinations against
us our southern trade will be seriously and
prejudicially affected. 1t might be wei
for the Merchants aud Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION to endeayor to obtain from the
Richmond and Danyillc administration
definite statement of its policy in this re-
spect.
It is plain from this that the Danville
system is no longer burdened with any
obligation to Baltimore, and that the trade
committees Of the Chamber OF Commerce
and the Commercial Club are freer than
ever to ask questions. "What they Will
do with il" is question OF very decided
Importance to Richmond also.

who failed in business several weeks agO
and left for parts unknown, walked of
with thIrtv.fve hundred dollars. in pl5ce
of 4 five-humdrcd-dollar check, given him
by business houSe for produce bought,
&C., thus addineforgery TO the list of crimes
charged against him.
Two North Carolina negroes were
brought here Yesterday and lodged in Jill,
charged with breaking into Bcaton'S store
at Branchville, and stealing S2G in money,
J besides goods, &c.
The people here state that the freshet in
Nottoway river nj this time exceeds any
| they have seen for years. The new bridge,
which was built at this place last fall at a
cost Of several thousand dollars, Is in q
dangerous condition. One or two pies
have been washed ur, and one part OF the
bridge has settled six or eight inches.
Notwithstanding the fact that bill was
passed in The last legislature prohibiting
the floating of logs down the river without
rafting them and sending sufficient force
with themto prevent obstruction to bridges.
&C., parties daily knowingly and wiliuly
violate the law. The bridge at this pl,ce
was carried away Ly loose logs Inst spring
during freshet, and until the law is strict
ly enforced the county will have the ex-
pense OF building bridges annually. The
river at this place has n sandy bottom, and
nothing but m iron bridge will stand for
any length OF time. X. b. s.

We venture the prediction that the State

any shape or form, the spurious paper IS
sued by The old State under the name of
"Wcst Virginia certificates" nor agree 10
settle or contribute In any way to the debt
OF Virginia upon any plan or basis In which
her liability or responsibility for OF con-
nection with these I" certificates /" Is in any
shape to be saddled upon her, Wheeling
Register.
Thats the truth plainly spoken. West
Virginia does not acknowledge that she
owes any OF the debt OF the two States.
Her Offsets are not such ms would be con-
xdered good In law II court were con-
sidering the matter; but as State judges
for tsclf on such questions, the holders Of
West Virginia certificates might as we'll
charge them up to the prsfit-and-loss ac-
count, and give them TO the trunk-makcrs.
